though the train had struck against

Negro Porter Hero.
w. Vance, porter Of the forward
sleeping car Wyuta, was one of the
heroes Of the disaster. To him and
his nerve and bravery the persons on
that car owe their lives
Vance was standing near the front
end Of the car wnen the crash came,
and with presence of mind rushed to
the hand brake on the front of the car
and began tightening the brakes on
the wheels. His car was slipping for
ward from the momentum and from
the drag in front, caused by the for
ward cars falling into the stream.
Vance held on to the brake until his
tight grip stopped the. car. The for
ward cars broke, from the sleeper and
fell into theF water, while the car
which Vance had held with the brake
stopped one-third of the way on the
brink Of the chasm, overhanging the
gulch below. The forward trucks had
left the track and gone down, but the
remainder OF the coach staid on the
tracks and the lives of the passengers
were saved.
1t required two engines and nearly a
half hours work to pull this sleeper
back from the brink Of the chasm.
Nothing but Vance's cool and brave
work at the brakes kept the car from
plunging into the stream.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 9-No news Of
fresh fighting or army movements

papers today express great relief over
the report from Port Arthur. Although
Stoessel's report gives no details it is
evident that the Japanese suffered a
very severe reverse.
Estimates Jaos' Loss at $4,000.
The Russ climates that the Japanese
losses thus far as the result Of the
siege of Port Arthur aggregate $4,000
men and says the mikado's injunction
not to waste lives must have been
ironical.

When this was done the cruiser pro.
ceeded. This is the first news of Rus.
sian vessels so close to England that
has been received.
Wolf Hills Good Position.
The general staff explains that the
Wolf Hills consist of long crest OF
hills six miles north of Port Arthur
and near the railroad station. The po
sition offers a great advantage owing
to the proximity to the fortress.
