MORE FORTS TO CONQUER
Special Dispatches Received by Lona-
don Newspapers.

London, Aug. 29.-The London pa
pers this morning have numerous spe-
cial dispatches from the Far East,
most of them dealing with the position
of Port Arthur. 1t is pointed out that
the Japanese tactics are very similar
to those adopted by General Oyama in
1884, but that. granting that the jap
anese have penetrated as far as repre-
sented, which is considered doubtful,
there are still formidable forts to be
silenced before a general assault is
possible. Equal interest Is displayed
here in what is regarded as the pre-
carious position of General kuropat-
kin's forces.
According to dispatch to the Daily
Nail from Koupangste. dated August
9th, Russian staff officers confess
themselves completely in the dark a.
to the meaning of the Japanese move
nents and that consequently they have
NO definite plan. Ten days ago. feel
ing that Lao Yang would be sur
rounded. General Kuropatkin began to
draw his troops northward. Then on
the Japanese retiring he brought them
back again. but continued his prepara--
tions for effecting a retreat. There 10
no doubt, says the correspondent. that
the Russian army is entirely at the
mercy of the japanese whenever they
choose to attack.
The Lao Yang correspondent Of the
Daily Telegraph, in a dispatch dated
August 2Sth, says that the Japanese
are pushing on against three sides Of
the city, near which there Is continu-
Gus fighting. A great quantity Of
transportation has been sent north,
leaving Lao Yang all ready for all
eventualities.
The rumor that the Japanese lost
guns at Siaulins, the correspondent
says. turns out to be untrue.
The correspondent continues: Tho
Japanese are reported to be adopting
. new method of night attack They
concentrate searchlights on the point
attacked. thus preventing the garrison
from seeing anything"
Describing recent fighting the cores.
pondent says: "The shooting on both
sides was splendid, the Russians con-
testing every inch of ground with all
their characteristic stubbornness. The
Japanese attacked from the direction
OF Lao Yang, it has developed"

GOVERNORS LETTER.
Tells Sheriff Bell That He Can and
Should Protect ciAxens.

Denver, Aug. 28.-Governor Peabody
has written letter to Sheriff Edward
Bell of Teller county in regard to the
recent action of the mob in driving out
q number of citizens supposed to sym.
pathize with the Western Federation
Of Miners. The letter is as follows:
state of Colorado. Executive Chamber,
Denver, Aug. 27, 1904.
"Hon. Edward Bell, Sheriff of Teller
County, Cripple Creek, Colorado.
''Sir-Upon Saturday, the 21st inst.
there was assembled in Teller county
a disorderly mob Of men. This mob
treated and drove from the county
number Of citizens and other persons.
Teller county has been a source OF
much anxiety to my administration.
Order has been restored there at great
expense to the state. and the militia.
after a protracted service renderd with
the single purpose of making life and
property secure, had only recently been
withdrawn.
Your county had been freed, as
hoped, from criminal disturbers OF the
peace; the civil offices of your county
are now filled. as am informed, by in
cumbents who desire to extend to all
citizens the full protection of the law.
l recalled the troops because believed
and was informed that your COM
munity was once more safe in the
hands of such officers. If am right in
so believing. there should be no oc-
casion for lawless outbursts such as
that OF Saturday last.
Il am recently informed that SINH
lar mob Of men have in contemplation
another and still further outrage. am
convinced that you as sheriff, hav-
ing the full sympathy and sup
port of the civil authorities, can and
should maintain peace and lawful or
der. I, therefore, desire to say that
should you not be able. with the means
at your disposal, to successfully cope
with the situation and maintain law
and order in Teller county, / am ready
to again place at your disposal the mi
litia of this state.
Our paramount duty at this and at
all times is to uphold the law and its
law and its safeguards without distinc-
ton of interests or of individuals.
II will thank you for an early reply.
and am, respectfully yours.

Balloon Voyage Failed.

st. Louis, Aug. 2S.-Carl Meyers. the
aeronaut. who started in race from
tne Worlds Fair grounds yesterday
for the Washington monument and
whose balloon landed near st. Charles
last night. returned to the city to-day.
Professor Meyers said he landed
where he did because he feared he
would be unable to catch the upper
air current that would take him east.
After leaving the Worlds Fair grounds
the balloon was carried in a north
westerly direction. Neither he nor the
balloon was injured. the professor said.
The balloon of George E. Tomlinson.
who started in the race with Professor
Meyers. was seen last night anchored
In prairie several miles north of st.
Charles. A farmer said that when 1t
passed over his house the rope was
dragging on the ground. Later 1t
passed over Avon. Illinois.

VIII Reject Mediation.

London. Aug. est is stated posi-.
lively. in connection with the revival
Of the rumors of mediation, that EN-
peror Nicholas only recently an
nJunced in the most positive terms
that he would not permit peace negoti-
atoms even should Port Arthur fall
and General Kuropatkin be driven
back to Harbin.
This fact. well understood in official
circles, has prevented the British gov
ernment from taking any steps in the
direction Of mediation. 1t is known
here that Germany understands this
attitude Of the Emperor as we'll as
Great Britain and other powers. There
fore the reports from Paris that EN-
peror William is prepared to suggest
peace is dismissed as groundless, for
the present at least.
II General Kuropatkin. however,
should win decisive victory at Lao
Yang. which in measure would re-
store Russian prestige. 1t is believed
here that the restoration of peace
would be materially facilitated.

HILL TO RETIRE
EX-SENATOR TIRES OF POLITICS.
viii Aid In Coming Campaign, But
Would Not Accept q cabi-
net Position.

Albany. N. Y, Aug. 29.-David b.
Hill. in conversation with friends here
yesterday, announced that he intends
to retire from politics January LIST,
next, and that no matter how the cam
paign resulted he would retire.
He added that In the event OF Demo-
cratic success this fall he would not
accept any position under the Demo-
cratic national or state administra-
uons or again become candidate for
election to any Office whatever.
Former Senator Hill made these
statements on the eve of his birthday
anniversary, which comes to-day. He
was born August 20, 1S43.
In partial explanation he said that
he had intended to take such action a
year ago, but was persuaded by some
close personal friends to defer doing
so until after the presidential election
this year.
Having been engaged in active poll
tice since his youth and having served
as city attorney, alderman and mayor
of Elmira, member of the Legislature,
lieutenant governor, governor for sew
en- years, ana Unlteu states senator
for six years, he feels that he has
been sufficiently honored by his party
and that he has rendered political serv-
ice during a period of years sufficient
to entitle him to-be relieved of further
active political effort.
He desires to devote more time to
his personal affairs and professional
duties.
Mr.. Hill will continue his work in
the present political campaign and
to his friends said that he would al
ways maintain his interest in Demo
cratic success, but only as a private
citizen.
Mr.. Hill will speak for the Democra-
cy at the county fair to be held at
Whitney's Point, in this state, on
Wednesday next, to be followed by
Senator Depew the next day for the
Republicans.
