at Kulien Cheng.

Port Arthur. May Another viciou
attempt was mad. by the Japanese
this morning, to block the entrance t
Port Arthur. At Il few minutes hcfor'
| o'clock. the first shots were fired,
awakening the town with Il thundcrou
noise. The gunboats lying at the mOutl
of the harbor joined in the connonadt
of the batteries, the firing gradually in
creasng in volume until there vas I

Some of the cncmy's torpedo boat:
were discovered, but they We're finally
swallowed up in the darkness and the
, batteries and warships after 40 min
utes activity were again shroudcd il
gloom. though the flashing search
lights showed that the military were
alive to the warning conveyed of the
approach of Japanese ships.
Shortly before o'clock a scarchliGht
played from the sea directly upon the
entrance of the harbor, lighting it uI
to show the way for the frcships. The
protector moved to the right from Liza
otighan to Golden Hill. For quarter
of an hour the light was watched with
curiosity, and then a second cOnnOnade
began, the heaviest fire being directed
to the left Of Golden Hill where the
f;rcsllips were located.
At about O'Clock, the batteries
ceased firing, save for an occasional
shot.
Just about dawn the bark of the rap
i'll fire guns and the cracking of the
mitraillcuse were heard from Golden
Hill Occasionally there were sounds
of explosions as of mines going Off. 1t
was the enemy'S ships striking on
Russian torpedos.
At this hour Il magnificent sea pic

This new attcmpt Of the japanese

In I. Russian Village.

As a rule a Russian village is a for
lorn looking place. where the huts OF
the poor are made Of birch logs, with
upright oak or pine supports, ceilings
OF strips Of the same birch and walls
lined with the crude branches. In
these huts there are only two rooms,
one Of which is not for everyday use,
but is kept for best occasions. This
room houses those sacred images so
dear to the heart Of every member Of
the Greek church, to which belong the
great mass of the Russian people. The
other room serves the purpose of both
kitchen and sleeping room, as one Of
the principal ideas Of comfort to these
people, ice and snow bound for so many
months OF the year, is warmth. In
many Of the peasant huts no beds are
used, and the top Of a great stove,
reaching nearly to the roof, is a much
sought sleeping place. Although the
conditions make dirt and the accom-
panying results inseparable in the do
nestle life of these peasants, they are
devotedly fond Of bathing The vapor
bath in crude form may be called a
national institution, and not unusual
