Japanese Dwelling Houses.

A Japanese house is generally all on
one floor. The number of rooms in it
depend on the number of bedrooms the
owner requires. They are divided for
the night by paper shutters, fixed in
grooves, like the divisions of an old
fashioned workbox. There are no doors
or passages.

TRADE REPORT.

Dun's Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business improves steadily, and there
is no evidence Of anxiety regarding the
future. Payments are more prompt
ly met. tending to stimulate prospects
for coming trade, and the disposition
to limit purchases to immediate needs
is gradually disappearing. Conserva-
tism during the summer and autumn
had beneficial effect, reducing stocks
to low point. AS demand broadens
this scarcity Of supply operates for
quick delivery and prices are strength
ened. Aside from imitation caused by
speculation, there Is no better sign of
commercial progress than advancing
commodity markets.
All the leading branches of manufac-
ture are in better positions.
Wholesome progress is recorded in
the iron and steel industry, sentimen-
tai improvement being succeeded by
actual business.
Limited supplies maintain hides In a
very strong position, and some lines
are bought on advance of sailing.
Raw wool has again advanced, and
is an important factor in the situation.
Commercial failures last week In the
United States were 229.

Mukden, Nov. 7.-Quiet continues

begins to look like continuous fort.
1t is believed they are preparing seri.

front to prevent General Kuropatkin
from breaking through their line and

There Is considerable evidence to In

Chefoo, Nov. S.-As the result Of
months of preparation Vladivotsok is
now strongly protected, according to
Captain Halvorsen of the Norwegian
steamer fungus, which, as told in
these dispatches last evening, arrived
here five days out from that port with
700 Chinese refugees who were unable
to live at Vladivostok any longer ow.
ing to the high prices OF food and other
necessaries, due to the war.
Captain Halvorsen says that the
vladivostok system of Notifications be.
gins many miles outside the city prop.
er and grows stronger as the city is
approached.
Ships laden with food, cannon. am.
munition and all sorts Of military sup
plies frequently arrive at Vladivostok,
according to Captain Halvorsen. who
says that five ships engaged in un.
loading their cargoes were in port
when the fungus sailed.
The captain Is unable to estimate
the strength of the garrison, but he
says that everybody at Vladivostok
seems to be either an officer or an
ordinary soldier.
The European residents Of Vladivo-
stok show their confidence in the Sc
curity Of the city by evidencing an
unwillingness to leave 1t.

to capture Vladivostok It Is the be-
lief Of Captain Halvorsen that they
will find it to be second Port Arthur.
Captain Halvorsen says that he be-
lieves submarine boats have arrived
at Vladivostok, but adds that he is not
positive in this belief, for the reason
that at present the Russian naval Sc
crets are being most closely guarded.
The harbor of Vladivostok. he says,
has been mined for distance Of seven
miles. In four miles Of this area
contact mines have been laid, while
in the remaining three miles electric
mines have been planted
Mail trains arrive at and depart
from Vladivostok every day, and there
is now stored there an immense sup
ply of coal taken from mines in the

Los Angeles.-At least 40 persons

In a rear end collision on the Long.
beach electric road. The car from this
city to Longbeach had stopped at a

THE PAST WEEK OF THE WAR
Japs Make Vicious Attack on Port
Arthur.

During the past week public interest.
which had shifted from the Shakhe
river to the North sea, swung around
to Port Arthur, where a series Of ter
rife assaults presaged the possible fall
of the fortress. Reports showed that
the Japanese had been pressing nearer
for two. months or more, and on OctO-
ber rs a series of attacks began that
continued into last week and gave
the Japanese hope that the fortress
might be compelled to surrender No
vember 3. the mjkado's birthday. Al
though several vantage points were
gained and the sacrifice of life was
immense, Port Arthur at last accounts
was still holding out. The prevailing
|oipnion. however, is that an end of the
Russian resistance Is near at hand.
The Russian feet left vigo. Spain.
on Tuesday. contrary to the supposed
understanding with Great Britain. and
for day London was considerably dis
turbed by sensational stories from Glib.
raltar. 1t was reported that the Brit
ish feet, with decks cleared for &C.
tion. was patrolling the straits. and
that II Rojestvensky's vessels attempt
ed to continue on the voyage toward
the far east a clash might ensue. The
danger seems to have been exaggerat-
ed, for the cabinets Of both powers
were working for an investigation that
would clear up the North sea mystery
and place the responsibility where 1t
belongs; and the details of an agree
ment were agreed upon under which
the matter will be left to a board Of
inquiry composed Of five admirals, one
Of whom is to be an American.
At the front in Manchuria there has
been no important change. Each army
is in close touch with the other, and
outpost collisions have been Of almost
daily occurrence. Numerous small
brushes have been reported, out Of
which has come some slight gain for
one side or the other, but nothing like
a general engagement has taken place.
The hostile forces are actually face
to face, in many places being SO near
together that 1t Is AMIDST impossible
for either to maneuver. No one can
say how long they can remain In this
unusual position without making ag-
gressive moves that will develop into
q great battle.

proaches to that height the assailants

Of the forts. In the evening the left

There the Japanese held their ground
stubbornly in the face Of Russian coun-
ter attacks.
These operations have successfully
driven an effective wedge into the Rus
sian center. Severe explosions and ex-
tensive fires have occurred in the for.
tress within the last few days. The
total casualties of the Japanese in the
late attacks were 100. Over 1900
were KILLED up to October 80. The
spirit Of the men is magnificent. The
firing Of all of the guns is wonderfully
effective.
Having been reinforced during the
night the Russians charged down up
on the Japanese and desperate hand to
hand conflicts ensued. The Japanese
beat back the enemy and destroyed two
covered positions in the front moat.
A Japanese sublieutenant with 80
volunteers then succeeding his making
way to the rear of the fort. There he
engaged in a personal conflict with a
Russian officer and killed him. Hav.
ing discovered two more defenses in
the rear Of the moat the sublieutenant
withdrew with his force with loss of
two men.
Later in the night the advanced ro-
sition Of the japanese was taken and
retaken twice. The besiegers succeed
ed in holding the approaches and con-
structing trenches, connecting them
with the armies front parallel. At
dawn numbers Of dead were visible on
the slopes. Fort No. 6, north of the
new and old batteries in the left cen.
ter Of the line of the defenses. was cap
tured by the severe fighting of the
night.
The climax of the late bombardment
came between and O'Clock Sunday
afternoon. 1t was superb spectacle.
Every fort of the enemy was engaged,
and the fighting in the trenches was
constant and severe. The outposts Of
the contending forces were cnly forty
feet apart. At 1o'clock this morning
one of the Japanese trenches collapsed
into Russian gallery. The enemy,
being surprised underground, fed in
confusion.
