Special Cable Dispatcher to THE Sun.
ST. Petersburg, Sept. 10. - Admiral
Alexieff forwards the following despatch
from Gen. Stoessel the commander at Port
Arthur:
'The Japanese are actively constructing
Notifications on Sampson Mountain, and
are also fortifying positions near Port
Arthur strongly, mounting new batteries
nightly. They are also searching for
mines in Sakhe Bay. The Japanese are
issuing proclamations addressed to the
Russians. demanding that they surrender
Gen. Stoessel regards these proolamations
as indicative Of the consciousness OF failure
on the part OF the Japanese. The report
adds:
"on the night Of Sept. the Japanese
bombarded High Mountain and Long
Mountain. We simultaneously discovered
an advance Of their troops. upon whom we

battery fell upon our automatic fougasses

"On Sept. the enemy received reinforce

to lombard the forts, the interior fortress
and the port. They fred $50 shells into the
town last night. Meanwhile their squadron
remained In view Of the fortress.
TOXIC, Sept. 15.-With complete quietude
in the north, public attention is again fixed
on Port Arthur. There are rumors Of i'm.
pending attacks on a large scale and Of the
straitened condition Of the garrison,
but none of them can be traced to an au-
thentic source.
SHANGHAI, Sept. 15.-It is reported that
two Japanese crept from the !n.renoh-

LONDON, Sept i6--The Toxic corre-
spondent OF the Express says that Field
Marshal Oyama has received the most
rigid instructions to resume the offensive
as soon as his troops have recuperated
and the roads will permit, and to attack
Gen. Kuropatkin before the winter begins.
Should the Russians retire from Mukden
to avoid battle Marshal Oyama will pur-
sue them with his three armies.
The collapse Of Marshal Oyamas scheme
to surround Gen. Kuropatkin at Liaoyang
caused this order, which. it is stated, was
inspired by the Emperor. The General
Staff is bitterly disappointed by the escape

Japanese view his strategy failed Con-
sequently desperate attack Is to be ex-

absolute exhaustion and needs sleep equally

Marshal Oyama is ready to advance. 1t liz,
however certain that the Japanese do not
intend to close the present campaign Until
they make another desperate effort to
crush the Russian any.
Transports are now loading troops and
supplies at Kobe and Hiroshima. These will
be landed at Yingkow and sent north on
the railroad. 1t is understood that at
least 900 men and 100 guns will be added
to the Japanese army before Oct. /. A
majority Of these are seasoned troops
from northern japan who are able to
Withstand the Manchurian winter.

The only knowledge which Shake
speare had of Jews and Judaism is that

And yet his oft-quoted adage, "What s
in a name?' has a special Significance
when applied to the modern Jewish peo-
pie! The moment an alien lsraeite
lands on English or American soil, his
first worry is the cumbrance of his name.
1t savours too foreign. When once he
has immersed himself in the stream of
Anglicization or AmericaniZation, he eX-
amines his surname with view to trim
ming or boiling it down. The effects are
conducive to business, but the etymology
is usually ludicrous. 1t is mild intro

but, considered under the rays of the
lamp of hllmor, few examples will, it is
hoped, not give offence The late Phil
May once drew a sketch of a Jew in
Scots-Ilighland garb, adding, on the
Rev. S. Singers suggestion, "Mac-
Pelah' as an example of the incongru-
ity, which, it might be urged, is, after
ALL only nominal one. Yet it proves
how prone Jews are to become thorough
followers of the Union Jack and the
Stars and Stripes when once they settle
down under their protection. There is
jew in Ireland who has John Kelly in
scribed on his dOor-post, because in Rus
sia he was called "Yankely!' Many
simply translate their names from Rus
sian or German bodily into English as
Stein into Stone, LOewe into Lyons, ia
cobson into jackson and Baum into Tree.
The majority of Jewish names are en-
tirely ornamental-in the word s literal
horticultural. geological or color
ific In such names as Gold, Diamond,
Silver and Pearlson we trace the vein of
jewelry Enthusiastically. The melancholy
fact is that most Jews whose names be-
gin with "Gold' suffer acutely from
poverty. Under horticulture comes
Greenblat, which is translated into
Greenleaf Rosenfeld, which appears as
Rosefeld; and Weinstein, which has
been seen as Winston. The geological
category contains Wolf and Fox, which
was originally Fuchs Katz is common,
but no one would dare to translate it.

I hired an old man to act as guide and do the cooking, and I enjoyed myself to the utmost. The mountains were full of big game, but the state had lately passed law proh ibiting the killing of deer, which was particularly aggravating, as we were continually running across them.

But along to. ward the last our meat ran out. and told the old man that we would have to have some fresh meat even if we had to kill deer. He agreed with me, and it wasn't ten minutes later that deer sprang up ahead of us. I wasn't pre- pared for him, but the guide was, and he made clean miss, much to his dis gust. That was the last deer that we saw, and we returned without having broken the law. But no sooner had we arrived at the point where we had started from than the old man was ar rested for killing deer, and took ii xpon myself to defend him. as knew him to be innocent. I took the stand in his behalf, and thinking 1t best to make a clean breast of the mat ter, admitted that he had shot at deer, but missed him. Then I put the old man on the stand to cor roborate my testimony.
 "'You admit having shot at the deer?' said I, when the old man took the stand.
 "Thet's what!' he answered.
 "'And you missed him?' I contin. ued
 "'No, siree!' he shouted. T killed him, b'gee!'
