The Motion Opposed.
This being read Col. T. M. Argo gave
notice that he opposed the motion foL
the plaintiffs as the only mover was
Mrs. Tucker, the cause to be stated IL
the motion to be made and argued.
Judge Womack asked if there has,
been any papers filed in the case.
Judge Purnell said that there wal
but one thing on which the defendants
could appeal and that this was the
of a receiver. To this
Messrs. Pou and Womack agreed
while Col. Argo said that the RECORD
of the case had not been examined by
the Judge and read from it the order
Meares and McBee as re-
ceivers, the petition for an appeal, the
order allowing an appeal. On this he
urged that the court had no jurisdic-
tion of the case, an appeal having
been made to the Circuit Court of APP
peals, this under equity rule, 94, thQ
appeal being not alone from the re-
ceivers, but from every order and de-

LESS MARRYING, GENTLEMEN.
Corbin Recommends That Officers
Show Their Income to the Secre-
tary of War and Get His
Permission to Take Unto
Themselves Wives
(By the Associated Press,)

Washington, Sept. 20.-That no
army officer be allowed to marry
until he has first secured the per-
mission ofthe Secretary of War and
satisfied that official that his income
is sufficient to support himself and
family. and that he is entirely free
from debt. is the recommendation
made by Major General Henry G.
Corbin, Adiutant General command
ing the Atlantic division and Depart
ment of the East. which was issued at
the War Department to-day Re-
garding marriage in the army, Gen
eral Corbin says:
have made no proper provision for
assuming the responsibility therefor is
hurtful, both 20 the army and TO the
officers themselves. To this broad
statement there are, Of course, excep-
tions, as there are to all broad state
ments. but the general fact remains
that our army is over married. The
pay of a sugaltern officer is barely
enough for his proper support and
the expenses of his equipment and
uniform. If to this is added the ine
vitable expenses attached to a family
it is not only probable, but almost
certain that when an officer strikes
his balance at the end of the year he
will be behind if he has no income
but his nay.
81 am firmly of the opinion that no
officer should enter the marriage rela-
ton without first getting the au-
thority of the War Department and
that if a necessary condition thereto
that his income after marriage Will
be sufficient to support himself and
family and above all if he is TO live
on his pay, he should state on honor
that he is free from debt"
General Corbin favors the re-estab-
lshment of the canteen and recon-
mends the enlistment of colored men
in the artillery or their transfer to
that corps from the colored cavalry
and infantry, believing that colored
soldiers in the artillery corps viii aid
that branch of the service by giving
to it men who would "by their apti-
tude and love of the service, COM
mend themselves to the artillery Off
GERS Just as they have to the officers
of the cavalry and infantry"

A RIOT IN LONDON
Police Called Out to QuelI
the Fighting Among
the Jews.
(By the Associated Press.)

London, Sept 20.-The Day of
serious rioting in the Jewish quarter
of the East End. Over two thousand
Jews engaged in a disturbance and
nearly three hundred police had to
be called out before the disorder was
cuelled.
The trouble arose over the action
of non-conforming members of a
Social-Democratic Jewish club at
situated in the heart of a
district containing about 20, 600 jew
ish inhabitants The Socialists open
ly paraded. in disregard of the fasting
injunction, afterwards drinking wine
in the club house. The Orthodox
Jews We're angered and surrounded
the club house and stoned it. The
Socialists threw bottles at the crowd,
and soon the two or three narrow
streets in the vicinity became choked
by lighting mob. Ambulances We're
called out and the doctors had many
minor cases to attend to. 1nally the
police quelled the disturbance, cord
oned off the streets in the disturbed
afrea and made several arrests. EX-
cited groups of orthodox Jews, how
ever, continued to parade the streets,
and the houses of several Socialist
Jews We're stoned.
The chief of police in sentencing
the various rioters brought UP at the
local police court. said it was "de-
plorable that class of persons who,
Tor centuries have been distinguished
by the flercest persecution should,
when IN the one free country in the
world, turn uDon those who disagreed
with them upon religious grounds and
stone and persecute even their CO.

New York, Sept. 20.--It is shown in

that there were more failures and la-

under Cleveland. The list is a long
one and covers every section of tho
country. These extracts are made
from the record:
The Republican campaign book foA
1904 on page 125 contains list OF

Secretary of the Treasury, Charle.t

due solely to the fact that President
Harrison went out of office on March

months longer he. and not President
Cleveland, would have issued the

The Growing Was After a Big Rake
Off of $4,000 and Everything /;
Now Settled Except the Matter of
an Allowance II Any, Which May or

After All Litigation Has Ended.

After seeking for months to obtain
railroad property worth two millions
dollars the contest of the men who
were after it yesterday degenerated
from wholesale grab into a petty
chase after fees in the case.
There were high claims made, o.
course, but when the bottom of each
argument was reached there was al
ways a proviso which said ''we-are-
out-for-the-cash." Though the conten-
tions of the attorneys who represented
the receivership plaintiffs of the A. 81

simmered down to purr, which said
''pay us and we will get OUT

from ten o'clock till nearly five il,

of the motion. Seven lawyers We're
heard and many of these made more
than one speech. while cross firing and
repartee were abundant At times the
questions and answers went quick and
fast, so that one could imagine that
sparks flew.
The final decision of the court in
the matter was that the receivership
be vacated, this leaving the lease in
force and the lessee in charge, with
the court costs, amounting in all t0
some $40O to $4,000 to be paid by the
defendant railroad company, this to

A Second Report.
(B ythe Associated Press. )

Chez Foo, Sept. 20.-(5:30 p. m. }
Authoritative information has been
received here of a general attack
upon Port Arthur by the Japanese
forces, which began yesterday before
daybreak and continuing until dark.
All indications point to an effort to
capture certain of the northeast
main forts.
This is the attack for which the
Japanese have been preparing for
the past nineteen days, with the slight
hope of success. AS forecasted in
these dispatches, the Japanese attack
on Port Arthur is directed against the
northeast front. The main object is
to capture the fortifications on Xix
wan Mountain, Rihlung Mountain
and the intermediate forts.
Ten Days Battle.
The foregoing comes from a Rus
sian of standing, whose previous in
formation has been correct He adds
that the attack at the end of August,
which was REPRESENTED as two Separ-
ate assaults. really constituted a ten
days battle, the fighting being the
heaviest during the first three days,
and he last four days of that period.
Although the Japanese retired August
a loug the greater part of their
line they remained in four supple
mentary forts on the northeast front,
which they had captured from the
Russians. These include two forts
fifty yards from Biklung Mountain
and two others at a somewhat great
er distance. Since August 81 the
Japanese have bombarded very slight
ly, while the Russians have been
throwing approximately one thousand
shells daily, chiefly against the four
Japanese positions mentioned. Small
sorties, as referred to by the Novi-
Krai, of Port Arthur. in the efforts
to re-capture the positions. have been
of almost nightly occurrence and have
been uniformly unsuccessful
During the fighting in August the
attempt to capture Kikwan Mountain
cost the Japanese an entire regiment.
This statement has been absolutely
confirmed and indicates the monu-
mental proportions of the task. which
the Japanese have set themselves in
attempting TO capture the fortress,
which is composed of many forts
equally strong.
