At nine or Sunday morn.

A feeling of forlorn.
An awful stiffness settles down
On all the human race;

When father shaves his face.

And strops it M aud down:
And mutters wildly TO himself,
And throws US all a frown.

For he's an awful nervous man

lots were taken, the first two resulting
in six votes for Connolly, three for Joan
j. Cassidy, one for Frederick samworth
and three for C.. II. Tindall. The last
named was the Republican candidate.
The third and last ballot gave Connolly
seven votes Cassidy two Samworth one
and Tindal two. On this ballot Council
man. Taylor, OF the Seventh ward shifted
his vote from Tlndan to Connolly Mn.
Tay.or admitted to reporter for The
Evening Journal tnat he voted for Con
molly and gave this as his reason for DO
ing so.
The reason I voted for Mr. Connolly
was because of the information / gained
in connection with the actions of the

terosts Of Republicans and Democrats
alike that a change of at least one mem-

The election of Building Inspector Con-
molly was a surprise as no intimation that
/ Councilman Taylor would vote for him

even Clerk Monaghan, OF Council, who

One Fort In Main Oefenses Taken BY
Japs on July 6.
Chefu, July s-A trustworthy China
man who arrived here yesterday from
point on the east coast Of the Kwang-
ung peninsula, near Port Arthur,
brings the information that on the 9TH
If July one division of the Japanese
Pmy reached the northeast slope of
rakushan mountain, the summit Of
which is less than three miles from
'ort Arthur. This division parted from
mother division Of the army on the
highway north of Port Arthur, after
which it made its way through noun
famous country. The other division
continued along the main road toward
the marine camp. TO reach which il
will have TO pass over a plain but at
tackled by this division in conjunction
with that Of Takushan mountain the
marine camp will not be tenable
Fort No 16, which is on the main
line defenses surrounding Port Arthur,
was taken by the japanese on July G.
Continuing, the Chinaman declares
that Russians in Port Arthur say that
last week three regiments Of japanese
troops were wiped out just north Of
Port Arthur. A Russian regiment
which was out accommodating was
driven back by the three Japanese
regiments, who were in turn surround
ed by two regiments of Cossacks and
wiped out
The Russians say also that in anoth-
er engagement between outposts eight
Japanese were killed and seventy-two
were taken prisoners. These reports
lack confirmation The Russian troops
at Port Arthur still believe that an ar.
my is marching south to relieve them.
1t has been learned here that only
one division Of japanese under Gen
eral Oku occupied Kaiping Another
division of this army is marching along
the Fuchau road, which turns to the
northwest at Kaiping and continues to
Kinkow, the port of Newchwang
There probably will be an encounter
between this latter division and Rus
sian forces at Erhtambo. This report
was received from Newchwang. A
third division Of General Oku's army
is passing along the east side Of the
railroad and is acting in cooperation
with the division which is on the rail
road.
While engaged in special work OF
Talienwan bay on July 3 during a

nineteen men are missing.
