ANXIETY FOR PORT ARTHUR.
That OVershadows Interest in the
 Manchurian Situation.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 20.--Interest is again concentrated upon Port Arthur owing to the receipt from foreign sources of news that a general storm ing of the Qualifications there has be- gun. A few belated teIegrams from General Stoessel, commander at Port Arthur published on Tuesday after noon recording the repulse of the Jap anese in continued attacks strengthen confidence in the ability to hold out despite the furious onslaught being made on them.
 The last attack mentioned by Gen eral StoesseI took place on the night of Sept. II, and was directed against redoubt No. 8, which protects the wa ter supply of the city. The redOubt is about two miles beyond the pernan- ent forts and the attack on this shows that the Japanese were then within striking distance of the main fortress.
 Reports from Shanghai that some of the defenses had fallen into the hands of the Japanese as a result of gen eral assault on Sept. 20, are not con- drmed from Russian sources. The telegrams brought to Chefoo by Prince Radzivil have not yet reached the war office. It is understood that these dis patches contain details of the landing of strong Japanese endorsements at Dalny, which will tend to confirm the belief that it is the intention to storm the fortress and that the warships will probably take part in the attack. Ia this event Rear Admiral Wiren's diyi- sion will doubtless go out and engage the Japanese fleet. All Russia is anX- iously awaiting news from the be- leagured garrison. Public feeling has been aroused to a high tension by the dreadful picture given by Prince Rad zivil of the sufferings of the Russian army there-
 The sensational announcement thtt General Kuroki has crossed the Hun river and that the whole Japanese army is advancing upon Mukden is oVershadOWed by the anxiety for Port Arthur. Moreover tlre announcement relative to Kuroki does not receive complete credence here as being in di- rect contradiction to official news is- sued by the general stcff. Gener:l kuropatkin announced only two day. ago, that there was not d single Jap anese east of Bentziaputse. How it is

THE ATTACK BEGINS.
The Long Delayed Japanese Assault
 Upon Port Arthur.

Chefoo. Sept 2O.-The attack on Port Arthur, which the Japanese have been preparing for the Past nineteen days. has been begun. As forecasted the at tack is on the northeast front. The main object is the capture of the for uhcations on the Kikwan mountain. the Rixlung mountain and interruedi- ate forts. The Japanese now occupy four supplementary forts on the north east which they captured from the Russians.
 Since the last day of August the Jap anese have bombarded very lightly. while the Russians have been throwing approximately 1000 shells daily, chiefly against the four Japanese positions. If the Japanese capture Rixlung it will be an important step toward the can ture of Port Arthur The Russians did not expect another attack before the first of October.

 Port Arthur Garrison
STORMING UNDER WAY
It Is Expected That the Assault Will
 Be Prosecuted by Sea and Land-A Hope That StOessel May Hold Out. Probable Early nanchurian Battle.

Port Arthur is again the center of interest as regards the war in the far east. A general attack by land and sea is regarded as likely to follow the Jap anese assault upon the Jedoubt pro- tecting the water supply of the fortress and town, and the participation of the fleet under Admiral Togo is looked for. In this latter event it is expected that the remnant of the Russian squadron in the port will go forth to engage the Japanese ships.
 Japanese divisions are reported to be advancing upon Mukden and another battle between the armies under Gen SIal KuToki and General Kuropatkin is Imminent

SENATOR HoAR'S VIEWS.
Suggestions Regarding Memorial to
Major L'Enfant.

Senator Hoar, who proposed the para
graph in the District appropriation act pro-
viding for the submission by the Commits
s1oners to Congress of a plan for a memo
rial to Major LEnfant, including, If
thought desirable, the removal Of his re-
mains from the Riggs farm to the District,
has replied to Commissioner Macfarlands
letter asking his suggestions as to what
plan should be adopted. Senator Hoar de-
sires to leave the matter to the judgment
of the Commissioners. He says that he
supposes they will ascertain whether it be
practicable and best to remove the re-
mains.
AS to the memorial that should be erect
ed over them he says: My idea is that q
simple thick grave stone of slate, arched
at the top, with a brief inscription, is all
that would be necessary, and would be
highly appropriate" He adds: There is a
quarry in Maine where a very beautiful
dark-colored slate is found which is said
to be quite enduring. When slate does not
chip or split it is, 1 suppose, the most per-
manent material that we have for such
that respect The old Puritan stones, many
of them, came from England. Some Of
those in the Concord burial ground and in
the burial ground at Ipswich, and some
near Boston, are as good as new today

missioner mcfarland a copy of a photo

Accepted at Meeting Of Miles Camp,
s. W. ", Last Night.

Capt. l.. c. Dyer, commander of Miles
Camp, Spanish War Veterans, has resigned
and his resignation was accepted at meet
ing held last night.
Several months ago charges were pre-
ferred against Capt. Dyer, 1t is said, which
went before a special committee of investi-
cation. The charges, which grew out OF
trouble in the woman's auxiliary, were not
substantiated, and it was declared last
night that his resignation had nothing to
DO with these old charges. Under the rules
Of the camp the election of successor went
over until the next meeting.
1t was rumOred that several other officers
would tender their designations, but none
was offered last night, except that of Capt.
Dyer. Mr. ]. Lewis Smith, adjutant, stated
last night that he had been considering re-
signing. He gave as his reason that he will
leave the city in about a month. He is an

Revolver Used as Blackjack.

An exciting scene occurred in down.
town cafe about o'clock last evening, In
which a revolver was drawn and used as
blackjack on the head of colored waiter
named Lorenzo Laws. whose home Is at
2234 Cleveland avenue. A patron Of the
place., who was seated at one of the tables,
requested the waiter to bring him second
glass of water. Evidently believing the
waiter was not particularly anxious to
serve him second time, the guest became
angry and struck him on the head with
revolver. He was then permitted to leave
the cafe unmolested. The injury to the
walters head was not serious
