CHINESE BRING REPORTS.
nssians Made Futile Attempt to cap-
 ture Big Guns.

a ! '
 Chefoo. Oct. Pc p. m.--Severe fight g, the Russians being the aggressors, curred on September 2S and 29 on the est shore of Liaoti promontory, near geon Bay, according to a report bught by Chinese who left Port Ar Ilr on September 30. The Russians feady apparently are attempting to pture the heavy guns which the Jap 6ese have mounted in that vicinity. Ee Russians were in considerable force Id they made several sorties, dragging \ ld artillery with them. They were Slsuccessful, however.
 IEhree junks with 16O coolies arrived Chefoo to-day. They left Port Ar ur because they were forced to carry e wounded and bury the dead. They So were afraid that eventually they puld have no food, although rice is entiful now, according to their stories. ley further say that the Russians lost savily during the attacks of Septem- F 19 and 2S, but the Japanese loss was alch heavier.
 # One of the coolies, who had been a ater carrier, showed a wound on the
 md that he received on September 22. and four companions went to a well ! the center of the town. A shell burst Id killed three of his companions and bundled fourth.
 The Russian ships were silent during se battle and the hitherto unused mer-
 ant ships were, as a result of the Int, turned into hospitals.
 Several of the Chinese who were em- oyed in carrying dead say that the lad were so numerous that they were lable to form anything like an esti- ate of the number who fell in attack g and defending the supplementary rts near Itz mountain. Since the bat both sides continue to shell at in- rvals daily. The Russians make many hall sorties against the Japanese enches.
 Small positions frequently change ands. The Chinese say they were com elled to bury the dead by stealth at ght, for the reason that the Japanese sould fire on them.

OFFICERS OF MILITIA
HUSTLING FOR HORSES
They Experience Trouble Finding Suit
able Mounts on Which to Ride
to Manassas.

Little or no work is being done by the
officers employed at the National Guard
headquarters.
Not an order has come in since the
return from Camp Ordway; not a man
has been discharged; there is absolute
ly no worl1-and yet, the officers are not
heppy.
They want to go TO Manassas. and as
guests witness the maneuvers TO be held
on that battlefield. They have been in
vited to attend by the Government. and
money has been appropriated for their
expenses. They intend to make the
trip on horseback, and therein lies all
the trouble.
Allows So a Day.
The Government is willing to allow So
a day for the hire of the horses, which
the officers think enough. but J. Z. Gale,
who usually furnishes the Guardsmen
with their horses, has declared that
no horse of his shall leave the stable for
that amount. The officers contend that it
is liberal
I'VE have to feed. care for. and If
necessary, shoe the horses" say they.
and besides. we had to pay only 81 a
day for tie same horses while az Camp
OrdWay.
That's why you don't get 'em so
cheap ag1in." says Gale. I'm a heap
wiser now
Thirty Men Going.
Should the matter be settled by next
Saturday. thirty officers. including Gen
eral Harries and Colonel Brett, will at

miles-and then stop for the night.
Twelve miles are expected to be COW
cred Sunday morning, and their arrival
At Manassas is planned for Sunday aft
ernoon.
The officers will attend purely in the
capacity of visitors. and will b. quar-
tered at a camp pitched for their ac-
commodation near the corps headquar-
tiers at GAINESVILLE, Va.

Columbia Heights.

The Columbia Heights Citizens Asso-

pamphlet, profusely illustrated with ex-
cellent photographers. setting forth the
manifold attractions OF that section Of
the city. which claims their pride and
their attention. Less than forty years
ago the entire territory. now known as
Columbia Heights. was little more than
pasture land Although now and then
some one yenturcd out into the unin-
habited region, it was not until the be-
ginning Of the SOS that a systematic
plan looking 70 the Improvement of the
section was set on foot.
John Sherman, then a Senator from
ONO, discerned clearly that n territory
so favored by nature would not long

work were done 20 attract people thith-

as the Stone farm. had the land plated
and laid out into streets and squar,

Dir. Sherman has made Columbia

due for the well-directed care and zeal

NEWS OF RAILROADS
AND OF RAILROAD MEN
END OF FREIGHT CONGESTION.


The freight congestion which has
worried Washington business men for
years viii end today The long ex-
pected rev bridge over TIE Potomac
has been completed. and this morning
the first of the Southern Railroad trains
came in over the nuTthbound track. The
sOuthbound track has been in use by
the Southern and the Richmond, Freder-
icksburg and Potomac several days Ad-
ded TO this is the completion Of the new
freight houses of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. at lexington. which rank
in size, and as regards facility, with any
such structures In the country. Then.
too, rapid progress is being made with
the mammoth freight yards, which are
TO extend from the southern end of the
new bridge. practically down to Alex
andria, which city Is also to have a
union station and big, new freight
depots.
All Of this means. a freight expert said
yesterday. that Washington is today
able TO handle without delay 700 more
carloads of matter daily than one month
ago. Within the next two months this
capacity will have been doubled again.
and Washington will have become the
freight and passenger gateway from the
Southeast to the Northeast in reality.
Assistant Engineer Spencer. of the
Baltimore and Ohio. has several hun
dred men at work on the new freight
car and passenger coach storage yards,
and IL Is expected that both will be in
readiness for use early in the spring.
When these are ready the railroads oper-
have facilities to handle 5000 cars, IL
such need ever should arise.

Good Summer Business.

Stone & Fairfax report extensive bust

business transacted by them during the
summer months was double the usual
business in past years.

Mr.. Fairfax yesterday. which indicates
that the large as well as the small in
weston has turned his attention TO buy
ing property which experience has
taught him 10 be the safest place for
his money. The numerous large public

to attract non-residents, who are anN-
ious 10 invest their money in Wash

ton IS admitted by all TO surpass any
city in the world. which fact alone would
encourage every resident to acquire a
home and enjoy the numerous benefits.
Usually business is quiet through the
summer months. for the reason OF the
great army leaving for the summer re-
sorts. and the fact that business has
been good throughout this summer in
dicates that the population OF Wash

few years II will be one Of the largest
