Bisbee daily review., 1904-05-31

The work done by the Street Com missioner of late is of the most com mendable character. With the facil. ities at hand the city is being thor oughly and rapidly cleaned up. The of the Council, however, in not permitting him to carry along the work with forty teams instead of with the one he has, is not true economy. The Street Commissioner should be provided with as many teams as may
 be necessary to do the work, and the Commissioner should see that the work is done. and not be laborer himself. This is not fair to the man nor to the city. The citizens are will ing that their money shall be spent. provided they see coming to them some benefit from being taxed. Let the good work go on.

of her songs last evening were of the best Quite within the range of her voice. with slow rythm. she accom-. plished all that the authors called for in their writing of them. Speaking for ourselves, we prefer to hear Miss Jessie in melody, and we think her training should be along the line of the sympathetic. rather than on the line of the old rag time stuff which is so fast decaying. Last evening her work was perfect, and the audience thoroughly appreciated the little la dy's effort-effort only in the sense of number. for she took her part with the utmost ease. and natural in manner.
 It seems hardly necessary to speak of the work of the Rylands. Charles and Marguerite. They take their places in line anywhere, at any time, and de liver all the goods the bill calls for. Last evening their work was of the best. and won hearty response from the ever glad hands of the audience.
 Charlie Farrell, as the Georgia Coon, brought down the house, fguratively speaking. and Joe Mclaughlin, in the Pipe Fieno's Dream was a show in himself.
 Charles Ryland. in monologue work, was especially good.
 The closing number in the vaudeville part was what made the walls of the Opera House groan and creak with the outbursts of laughter at the roaring comedy farce, Its the Law" written by Tommy McCarty, in which he takes the part of Judge. It was funny, and that's all it was written for, just to make one laugh, and it accomplishes all that the author started out to do when he took his pen in hand"
 The wonderful picture of the "Greal Train Robbery" was a startling sur. prise to nearly that were present. It showed the awful deeds of the masked robbers as iifelike as though the scene was really being enacted right before the very eyes of those present.
 Taken all in all, the Eagles gave one of the cleanest brightest and most entertaining shows last night that has ever been given in the Opera House. and from that undoubtedly a neat sum augmented the sicg fund of the order, for which purpose the members Ia bored so assiduously, remembering that charity guided the way to the sick bed of the living, to the death Ded of the dying. and to the burial place of the departed brother.

It would seem as though the very
 nature of Bisbee was hand-in-glove
 with that young order-the Knights of
 Columbus. It would almost seem as
 though she had received an invitation
 from the gallant Knights. who had so
 magnanimously arranged the dance given in Pythian Castle last evening.
 and that nature had decided to attend
 in person, for from an extremely warm
 cay she tempered the heat to a de.
 lightfully cool and refreshing breeze as the evening came upon Bisbee, and
 by eight o'clock one could not have asked for an evening more perfectly adapted to just the purposes of the
 party that assembled in Pythian Cas- tie last evening. It is but a very short time since the Knights of Columbus were instituted in this city, and as an evidence of the popularity of the or. der it was decided to give the ladies' the wives. sisters and sweethearts of the Knights. who had so gracefully and patiently remained at home all day and a large part of the night on the day the order was being instituted, a dance and card party for which Bis bee Council sent cut to their friends invitations for Monday evening, May 30.
 There certainly could have been but few who did not accept the courtesy of Bisbee Council, for at the proper hour there had assembled a brilliant company of Knights and their guests Curtis Orchestra had been engaged for the occasion, and even the most toe and foot could scarce fail to perform the functions of the Terpsichorean art, when the sweet strains of the dreamy waltz, or the music of the two-step ech- ped from the ceiling and walls of the lance room. The early part of the evening was devoted to cards. and many exciting games were in pro- yress, while many brilliant smiles were illuminated upon the faces of 1 the fair sex, particularly when they

 As soon as the card games had sat isfied those indulging. the strains of the introduction to the lancers waited into the ante-room, and soon the as semblage was in the ball room. There probably has been in Bisbee no more brilliant assemblage than was on the floor of the Pythian Castle last evening. Costumes of crepe de chine. peau de soie, and all the textiles which in coloring and fabrics form the bower of beauty which captivate the gentlemen and lead the searching eye of women, were there. The ar engagements for the evening were sim ply perfect, and reflected much credit upon the gentlemen having the affair in charge. There were prizes given to the experts at the card games as fol- lows: First prize fer ladies, won by Miss Shea, a beautiful fan; the booby prize was won by Mrs Bengard, a jar of candy. First prize for gentlemen. won by Mir Arthur. a fountain pen; a boo5y prize, won by J. E. Evans. a book entitled Card Games and How to Play Them"

tire Day.
Powder Magazine
Exploded by
Shells.

CHEFU, Oct. 30.-The third gen.
eral attack on Port Arthur began on
October "a, according to unimpeach-
able authority. On October 26 Japan
ese shells set fire to the only smokeless
powder magazine in Port Arthur.
Portions of the town caught fire, the
conflagration continuing the entire
day. On October 26 also the japanese
captured the Russian trenches on the
slope of Rihlung Mountain, also for
titled position protecting that fortress.
The Japanese consider the progress of
the siege to be highly satisfactory.
MUKDEN, Oct. 30.-The Japanese
attack on the Buddhist Temple Hill on
October 81 led to sharp fighting. The
Japanese artillery played on the posi-
ton from early in the morning, rem
dering the trenches untenable, shells
and shrapnel sweeping everything and
demolishing all the shelters. The ma
chine gins with the battalion defend
ing thS All were smashed, but thejde-
tenders carried of the remains of the
guns when they were forced to retire.
The Japanese infantry attack, under
cover of the bombardment, was made
ia close order. There was a desperate
hand-to-hand fight in the trenches,
bayonets. The Japanese finally gained
the hill, but were unable to hold it in
the face of the deadly Russian artil-
lery fire.
There have been a number of skir-
mishes along the whole front, but no
development of any serious import
has yet appeared. though the armies
are in the closest touch and a general
engagement may be precipitated at
time AT rani11f he nHeu

Is the only water supply in the neigh
borhood. BY mutual consent there IS
no firing on the water carriers, who
visit the stream with buckets.
Several positions have already
changed hands many times. 1t is re-
lated that in one village, which had
been taken and retaken by the same
men on both side, Captain Polkan-
off, on being driven out one day, left
note in the hut where he had passed
the night, saying he would like to
know the name of the Japanese officer
who was in the habit of occupying the
hut in his absence. A little later Cap
tain Polkanoff retook the village and
going through his old quarters found
the following note in perfect Russian:
Il am Captain Yamata- 1 will be
greatly pleased to make Captain Pol
kanoff's acquaintance"
To-day was unusually quiet along
the whole front. The Russians are in
the habit of harrassing the Japanese
in the trenches at night. Last night
Russian scouts threw a hand grenade
into Japanese trench near Sinchinpu,
causing great confusion.
The Russian scouts also discovered
that the Japanese are moving many
batteries to the front, though as yet
all have been carefully masked.

CALL BUREAU. HOTEL BARTON.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 3O.--Major Harri-
sons strong letter to General Chaffee,
chief of staff, U. S. A.. about the made
quacy and practical uselessness of the
submarine defenses of the harbors OF
this country is a surprise and a sensa-
tion. Even army officers are startled
by the revelations OF the weakness of
this part of the national defense. 1t is

The Kussc-J 2zsan sse syar affords an
object lesson which awakens those In
authority to the defects upon which ar
tillery specialists have long dwelt. Ma
5or Harrison and others have long
known the inferiority of the submarine
defense system. 1t has required the de-
struction of many Russian warships to
convince the War Department that this
danger is so real that an immediate
Improvement is imperative. Major Har-
rison spares no words in his letter to
General Chaffee. He says in part:
The harbors and waterways of the
United States are to-day literally un-
provided with submarine or torpedo de-
fenses and the means to establish the
same within the time limits imposed by
H1OOeTu InelHOQS OF WdrIare. Inc utter
inadeQuacy of our submarine defenses
hardly needs demonstration. Suffice 1t
to say that there is not harbor in the
United States to-day that is protected
with the means-or personnel-to estab-
lish an effective mine defense. either
at once or within the period of time
that could in reason be looked for at
the hands of an active and enterprising
enemy.
''Of the needs of torpedo defense there
is no question. Were proof or illustra-
ton necessary a glance across the sea
at the events there being enacted would
be all sufficient. The tragic fate of
Russia's feet and the sorry, plight of
Port Arthur are ominous and forceful
arguments of the efficacy of the tor
pedo."

Western can readily in the future con-
meet with the Gould system and the
Canadian Trunk lines. 1t is understood
that the New Haven road was immedi-
ately forced to take this step by fears
lest the trunk lines should endeavor to
cut down its percentage on the through

is that the New Haven Railroad Com

TWO RAILW AVS
IN BIG DEAL
New Haven Line Purchases
the Ontario and Western,
Thus Entering New Field

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 3O.-It is
definitely announced that the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Com
pany, at meeting Of it's directors last
Wednesday, all but two being present
voted with unanimity to accept an op-
tion offered by Kuhn. Loeb & Co. on q
majority of the Ontario and Western
stock. The price is $45 share, ex-div-
idend, and all the arrangements for the
temporary financing. extending over
some months, have been made.
The question Of a lease of the Ontario
and Western came up, but 1t was found
that this plan required the assent OF
the New York Central and it was drop
ped. 1t is probable. however, that the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad Company will make provision
for the minority holders of the Ontario
and Western Company on a basis rep
resenting about $40 a share of stock.
BY the new purchase the New Haven
Company acquires about 500 miles OF
road, of which some $50 miles west OF
Cornwall. n. Y, is in progress of dou-
ble-tracking.
The most important feature of the
deal is the fact that for the first time II,
New England railroad history it gives
great New England carrying corpor-
alton access to the coal mines on the
one hand and to the Great Lakes on
the other, and by virtue of the latter
extension the power OF regulating and
naming Western trunk line rates.
