Eruption of Mount Vesuvitis Increas-
ing in Violence.

Naples. Sept. 26.-The eruption of
Mount Vesuvius continues to increase
in force and is more violent than
at any time since 1872. Red hot stones
are hurled to a height of 1900 feet,
falling down the tanks of the noun
tain with a deafening sound. The di-
rector of the observatory says that,
between o'clock in the morning and
6 in the afternoon, his instruments
registered /, 1,S44 violent explosions, and
that the stone thrown out weighed
about two tons. Lava flowing from
the crater has melted the metal of
the Funicular railway, destroyed the
upper station and burned the wooden
huts in which guides live. All vege-
citation within a radius of mile of
the crater has disappeared.
Several earthquake shocks were felt.
Some of the people in the surround
ing villages have left their homes and
are camped in the open air. The curl
osity of tourists to approach the vol
cano is such that large number of
guards have been detailed to prevent
them from pressing beyond the pre-
Scribed limits.

WHEAT DROPS q CENTS
An Increase of 100000 bushels in
Visible Supply.

Chicago, Sept. 26.-Under the
weight of heavy realizing sales the
wheat market here broke an even four
cents today, the December option SELL
ing off to $1.1015. The low point on
May was reached at $1.111a. The de-
clining tendency was accelerated by
the execution of numerous stop loss
orders. The principle factor in caus-
ing the sharp break in prices was the
intimation that several big holders
were quietly disposing of their lines.
An increase of nearly two million
bushels in the visible supply and sur
prisingly heavy primary receipts were
minor factors. The market closed
practically at the low point, final quo
tations on May being at Sill q. De-
cember closed at $1.105s.

WATER SUPPLY CUT OFF.
japanese Gain Important Advantages
at Port Arthur.

Chefoo, Sept. 26.-As a result of the
battle before Port Arthur which began
on September 10, the Japanese succeed
ed in capturing several important posi-
tions and today the Russian tenure of
the big forts guarding the north, north
east and northwest sides of the town IS
seriously threatened. Chinese informa-
tion places the Japanese losses under
5000 for the three days fighting, and
this comparatively small casualty list
is due to the excessive care used by
the japanese in making their prepara-
tions for the advance. Russian sources,
however, claim to have information
that the Japanese losses were unusual
ly severe, amounting to fully three
times the number mentioned above.
Possibly the most important capture
during the three days fighting was that
of Fort Kuropatkin, which, while of
minor value with regard to preventing
the entrance into the town of the Jap
anese, has been constructed for the pur-
pose of protecting the source of the
garrison's water supply The control of
this water supply is now in the hands
of the Japanese.
AS was announced in these dispa tches
on September 20, the battle began be-
fore daybreak on September 19. AT this
nour the citizens and the garrison of
Port Arthur, after the enjoyment of
weeks of comparative security, awoke
to the thunderous reports of artillery
along the line extending from the west
of Itz mountain to Rihlung and Xix
wan mountains. This was but a preface
to the assault which was destined to re-
suit in the capture of three new and i'm
portant Russian positions, together
with six small but annoying forts lying
between Shushfven and Rihlung noun
tain.
During the day and night of the
18th, and until noon of the goth. the
bombardment continued without cessa-
ton, and the many shells falling from
quarters which previously had been
silent, made it obvotus that the jap
anese had at least succeeded in mount
ing many heavy guns in new positions
or in strengthening their old positions.
