yesterday afternoon that General Bran.
don, commander of the Alabama brigade,
was the only officer that saluted properly
as he passed the reviewing stand. The
parade and review occurred near Yelling
ton, about two miles west of the Alabama
quarters.
Personal Visit to Brandon.
Colonel Price, commander of the Third
brigade, of which the Alabama boys form
a part, paid General Brandon a personal
visit this afternoon at the Alabama head
quarters and complimented him upon the
excellent behavior of his men during the
encampment, saying that he desired
through General Brandon to express to
the officers and men his compliments and
to express his satisfaction of the manner
in which they had conducted themselves,
having borne bravely the hardships of the
campaign without complaint and that he
had no adverse criticism to make, but on
the other hand was favorably impressed
with the Alabamians and their soldierly
bearing while serving upder him.
While there have been many hardships
the discipline of the camp is without par
allel in the history of national guard or
ganization and General Brandon and the
state of Alabama have just cause to
feel proud of the provisional regiment
from that state.
Texas Boys Held Down.
Last night the Texas boys attempted to
ransack a commissary which is located
on the Alabama regiment grounds and
which is conducted by Manassas citi-
zen. General Brandon hearing of the
trouble detailed a squad of men to pro-
tect the place until the Texas officers
could arrive on the scene and take charge
of their men.
Camps will break at o'clock tomorrow
morning at which time the Alabama
troops will be paid off They will re-
ceive the pay of the regular army for ten
days service.
The troops will probably arrive in Ala
bama Monday afternoon.

PREPARE FOR BIG ASSAULT

Che Foo, September 10.-General Nogis
next assault upon Port Arthur will be
directed chiefly against Rihlungshan and
Ixilxwanshan forts, which are the strong
est on the northeast flank. This informa-
tion is derived from an unquestionable au-
thority who has just finished visit ever
the Japanese line around the forts and
conversed with the Japanese officers, who
allowed him to make personal obserya-
tions. The work of constructing trenches
is advancing rapidly
The range of hills crowned by Kikwan-
shan and Rihungshan have irregular
slopes, enabling large force of Japanese
to rest securely some distance up the
slope. The Japanese have tents pitched
and they are relieved every three days
Food and ammunition and other supplies
are brought them at night only Tor the
reason that the detachments are Obliged
to cross a level stretch before reaching
a place of safety. The Russians endeayor
constantly to level the incline, shelling
the projections which afford shelter to
the Japanese who in turn lombard to
prevent the Russians from succeeding.
Will Be Trying Assault.
There seems little doubt that the as
sault on Rihlungshan and Kikwanshan
will be the most trying one that the Rus
slams have yet resisted. Everything
which ingenuity can suggest is being
done by the japanese to render the at
tack successful, particular attention being
paid to measures which will enable the
Japanese to retain the forts in the event
they capture them Among the contriy-
ances to be employed are numerous
heavy portable shields which have been
constructed at Dalny and which VIII be
used to afford protection. Guns and
shields will be moved as closely together
as possible through the trenches before
the assault is made in order that they
may be quickly hauled to the summit
when the forts are taken.
The entire Japanese force now surround
ing Port Arthur is estimated at $4,000
fighting men.
Defenses Made Almost Perfect.
The informant of the Associated Press
quotes an Argentine colonel who is with
the Japanese as saying that the Russian
defences facing the japanese have been
made with perfection undreamed Of. The
inner sides of the forts, however, are
not so well constructed.
With Rihlungshan and Kikwanshan
captured the Japanese will practically
control an entrance along the railway
and they can contemplate assaulting 9TH
er forts from their weaker sides.
The Japanese say they are prepared TO
lose heavily in taking Rihlungshan and
I<ikwanshan. These forts like a majori-
ty of the fifty-four surrounding Port Ar
thur, have six-inch steel shields loopholed
with rapid fire guns. These guns, accord
ing to the Associated Press informant,
have proved most disastrous to the Jap
anese. The shields are impervious to
field artillery. Nothing but siege guns
will make an impression on them.

M 1.-THE war office is reluctantly dis-
posed to admit that with the defeats OF
the Russians at Lao Yang all hope prac-
tically departed of turning the tide of the
war this year, Patiently and dosgediy
in spite of successive reserves by lanu

Kuropatlxin must retire, await REIN

paign next year. But disappointed as
they are, and discouraging as the situa-
ton is, they have no word in favor OF
making peace.
Russia will be victorious in the end; the
war must continue, if not this year, the

crate entrenchments, some times without

According tc the best information both
armies are now tired and resting after the
exhausting days of fighting and march
ing. The opinion is that the Japanese will
again push on as soon as the rains cease
and the roads are dry. Meantime General
Kuropatkn is enjoying the advantage OF

that the japanese Will not attempt fur-

the end Of the campaign for this year, the
Russians wintering at Hardin with their
rear guard at Tie Pass and the japanese
at Lao Yang, with their advance base at

A WRITER in the San Antonio
Express of last Sunday sets forth
at length the virtues of honey as
an article of food, from which it is
learned that honey is far more val
liable as food than sugar. Accord
ing to this writer the market for
honey is continually growing, and
the supply never equals the de-
mand, it is said. Another point
made is to the effect that Texas is
one of the leading states in thepro-
duction and expectation of honey.
All which should tend to encourage
the bee industry in this state.
With growing demand, and the
reputation of Texas honey already
established in the markets. together
with the wonderful natural adapt
ability of Southwest Texas for the
production of this sweet, it would
seem that the bee industry would
prove very attractive one in this
section. As has been set forth in
THE HERALD previously, this i'm
mediate section of the lower Rio
Grande valley possesses unriyalled
advantages for the production of
honey. Not only does the
climate permit the busy little bee
to work the year around, but ma
ture provides the necessary ma
terials for honey making the year
around also. Every month in the
calendar, from and including Jam
uary to December. there is some
tree or shrub or herb that is in
bloom here, and the peculiar fea-
ure of such fora is the fact that the
blossoms are all rich in the nectar
from which the bee manufactures
honey. Undoubtedly this valley is
destined to be the center of the bee
industry of Texas, and Rio Grande
honey will lead all other brands as
soon as it is produced in sufficient
quantities for shipment to the
northern markets.
