Fighting seaun Monday.

Chefoo, Sept. 21.-Authoritative in
formation has been received here of a
general attack upon Port Arthur by the
Japanese forces which began Monday
before daybreak, continuing until dark,
and was resumed yesterday.
All indications point to an effort to
capture certain of the northeast main
forts.
This is the attack for which the Jap
anese have been preparing for the past
1e days, with slight hope of success.
The main object is to capture the forti-
fications on Kilwan mountain, Rlhlung
mountain and the intermediate forts.
The foregoing comes from a Russian
OF standing, whose previous informa-
ton has been. correct. He adds that the
attack at the end of August, which was
represented as two separate assaults,
really constituted 1O-days' battle, the
fighting being the heaviest during the
first three days and the last four days
Of that period Although the Japanese
retired August 81 along the greater
part of their line, they remained in four
supplementary forts on the northeast
front, which they had captured from
the Russians. These include two forts
90 yards from Rihlung mountain and
two others at a somewhat greater dis
tance. Since August 81 the Japanese
have bombarded very slightly, while
the Russians have been throwing ap-
proximately 1000 shells daily, chiefly
against the four Japanese positions
mentioned. Small sorties. as referred to
by the Noyi-Krai, Of Port Arthur, in
the efforts to recapture the positions,
have been of almost nightly occurrence
and have been uniformly unsuccessful.
The Japanese have been taught
wholesome respect for the resisting
power of the fortress, according to
every Japanese who has recently ar
rived from Port Dalny If they succeed
in capturing Rihlung mountain or
other forts they will realize that this
will be only one step, although an i'm
portant one. towards the capture of
Port Arthur. The Russians, who have
been observing the new tactics of the
Japanese, did not expect another attack
before the first week in October. The
Japanese are endeavoring to proceed
slowly but surely.
During the fighting in August the
attempt to capture Kilwan mountain
cost the Japanese an entire regiment.
This statement has been absolutely
confirmed and indicates the monumen-
tai proportions of the task which the
Japanese have set themselves in at
tempting to capture the fortress, which
is composed of many forts equally as
strong.

TWO DECISIONS
AGAINST MINERS
Operators Win in Grievances Settled
by Umpire Wright
100000 SUIT AGAINST MITCHELL

Scranton, Pa. Sept. 20. - Decisions
adverse to the miners have been rem
dered by Umpire Carroll D. Wright in
the grievances submitted to the con-
eiliation board by the contract miners
Of collieries Nos. l and of the Penn
sylvania Coal company. Dunmore. and
the employees Of the Lehigh Valley Coal
company.
The grievances Of the contract min
ers Of the Pennsylvania Coal company
were for extra compensation for chang
ing the roads from the center to the
sides of the chambers. This wSAk. they
claimed, entailed additional work and
had to be done without additional COM
pensatiOn. The men asked that the
company return to the old system of
having the road in the center of the
chamber.
In giving his decision on this case
Umpire Wright said that the anthra-
cite coal strike arbitration board in
rendering its findings did not take into
consideration physical conditions that
may exist in the mining and preparing
of anthracite coal for market; that it
was impossible to do so.
"The only way" he says. "in which
such matters as that involved in griev-
ance No. 10 can be adjusted is by an
agreement between employers and en-
plOyes."
The grievance Of the employees of the
Lehigh Valley Coal company is for an
adjustment of the sliding scale. They
claim that the company is not paying
them according to the commissions
award; that instead of getting 16 per
cent they are getting only 10. The
company, they claimed, considered the
reduction in the price of powder equal
to a per cent. increase. The company,
on the other hand. contends that the
scale of wages on which they figured
their increase was in effect April, 1902,
the time from which the commissions
award dates.

MAN AND GIRL FOUND DEAD
York, Pa, Couple Who Could Not
Marry Die Together.


York, Pa, Sept 20.-Michael Schall,
head of the Keystone Foundry Machine
company, of this city, and Miss Nettie
Gotwalt. also a resident of York, were
found dead in a bedroom in a house
on South Water street. Three gas jets
in the room were turned on and the
apartment was full Of gas.
Miss Gotwalt resided in the apart
ments where the tragedy occurred.
Both wrote notes in which they COM
planned of the world. sat down without
removing their clothing and turned on
the gas. When found Schall was seated
in an arm chair and his companion was
prostrated on the side of the bed. Be-
fore becoming unconscious they tore
up the notes which they had written.
The fragments were put together by
the coroner. Both said the world was
cruel and regretted that they could not
get married. Schall was a single man.
He had been drinking to excess the
past week. He and his companion had
both been suffering from nervous affec-
tions and were receiving medical treat
ment. Ill health is attributed as the
cause of the tragedy. as no impediment
to their marriage is known. Both were
well connected socially.

RUSSIA AWAITING NEWS
Interest centered On Port Arthur ow-
inn 70 Rennrf of General Attack.

Interest Centered On Port Arthur ow-
ing to Report of General Attack.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 21.-Interest is
again concentrated upon Port Arthur
owing to the receipt from foreign
sources of news that a general storm
ing of the Notifications there has be-
gun. A few belated kilograms from
General Stoessel, the commander at
Port Arthur, on Tuesday afternoon, re-
cording the repulse of the Japanese and
continued attacks, strengthens conf
dence in the ability of the defenders to
hold out despite the furious onslaughts
being made on them. The last attack
mentioned by General Stoessel took
place on the night of September IA and
was directed against redoubt No. s.
which protects the water supply OF the
city. The redoubt is about two miles
beyond the line of permanent forts, and
the attack upon this shows that the
japanese were not then within striking
distance of the main fortress. Reports
from Shanghai that some Of the de-
fenses had fallen into the hands of the
Japanese as a result Of a general as
sauIt on September 20 are not con-
firmed from Russian sources.
The kilograms brought to Chefoo by
Prince Radziwill have not yet reached
the war office. 1t is understood that
these dispatches contain details Of the
landing Of strong japanese reinforce
ments at Dalny, which would tend to
confirm the belief that it is the inten-
ton of the Japanese to storm the for
tress and that the warships will prob
ably take part in the attack. In this
event Rear Admiral Wiren's division
will doubtless go out and engage the
Japanese fleet.
All Russia is anxiously awaiting
news from the beleaguered garrison.
Public feeling has been aroused to a
high tension by the dreadful picture
given by Prince Radziwill of the suffer-
ings of the Russian army there.
The sensational announcement that
General Kuroki has crossed the Hun
river unopposed and that the whole
Japanese army is advancing upon Muk-
den is overshadowed by anxiety for
Milford chronicle., 1904-09-23

Port Arthur. Moreover the announces
ment relative to Kuroki does not re-
Seiye complete credence here, as being
In direct contradiction of official news
issued by the general stan. General
kuropatkin announced only two DAYS
ago that there was not a single Japa-
nese east of Bentsiaputzo. How. it is
asked, could General Kuroki. with 1OO-
600 men slip past General Rennen-
kampffs Cossacks and cross the Hun
river near the Fushan coal mines. 30
miles east Of Mukden. Fushan is sit
uated on the road from Bentsiaputzo,
where General Kuroki crossed the
Taitse river. This road is carefully
watched by General Kuropatkin's out
posts between Mukden and Sintsintin.
a strong guard has been placed at the
Fushan mines, which General Kuropat-
kin will not give up without struggle,
as the loss Of the mines would involve
the cutting off Of the coal supply for
the whole of the Manchurian railway.
Nevertheless 1t is considered more than
doubtful If General Kuropatkin will
make decisive stand south of Tie Pass,

THREE MINERS KILLED
Crushed to Death BY Fall of Rock 1900
Feet From Surface.


New York, Sept. 21-Three miners
were crushed to death at the old An
dover iron mine at Hibernia, N. J.; an
other was so badly injured that he will
probably die, and two others were seri-
ously hurt. Nearly 20 tons of rock fell
on the men. The three men killed could
hardly be recognized when taken from
the mine.
The victims were working in the low
est level at about 1900 feet from the
surface and nearly a mile from the
mouth of the mine. A slab of rock, 20
feet long, half as wide and from one
to two feet thick, dropped from the
roof of the tunnel. The three who were
killed were caught in the center of the
rock. The others were near the ends. 1t
was long before help arrived, as no
one knew Of the accident TOR over half
an hour, and it then took several hours
to release the men. The three men
killed were Russians, and had been in
this country only a few weeks.

CRANK AT OYSTER BAY
Said He Came From Heaven, Whittier
He Went ln An Automobile.

Said He Came From Heaven, Whittier
He Went In An Automobile.
Oyster Bays L. l., Sept 2l.-A man
who is regarded by the secret service
officers and by the authorities OF Oyster
Bay as a dangerous crank, was appre-
hended here. He is ]. E. Reeves. a me-
dium-sized roughly attired man about
40 years Of age. He was making his
way to Sycamore Hill when he was ar
rested. He told oficer Tyree. who ap-
pretended him. that he wanted to see
the president on important business.
Believing from the mans manner that
he was insane, Officer Tyree took him
before Justice Franklin for examina
tion. To the justice Reeves said that
six years ago he died in a Jersey City
hospital and went to heaven in an au-
tomobile. While there he received an
important message for President
Roosevelt which he was directed to
deliver personally. He refused to say
what the nature of the message was
and declared he could communicate it
to nobody but the president. He de-
clared to the justice, however. that ne
had written a book on his experiences
in heaven, which he desired to have
published, as he was satisfied millions
could be made out of it. The president,
he said, undoubtedly would join with
him in securing the publication of the
work, and that was one reason why he
wished toehave a talk with him.
Reeves. who talked as if he had en-
joyed some educational advantages.
said that he was a resident of Balti-
more. He had gone from that city to
Hagerstown. Md, and then to Washing
ton to see the president.
Justice Franklin. after the exami-
nation, being convinced that the man
was insane and very likely dangerous,
