Other skirmishes occurred betwee IL
Cossacks and the rear guard of Gen.
Oku's army at Vangenfuchu, about
forty miles north of xinchou on the
railroad. Casualties slight and honors
easy.
Later news of the storming of Kin
chou and Nanshan hill shows that the
japanese lost 4,300 men in that sue
cess. To lose 1900 men in the taking
of al outpost may seem at first to be
magnificent, though not war. How
ever, the taking of the hill seems to
have given the japanese a clear road
to the gates of Port Arthur, and to
have enabled them to take Dalny end
its fine harbor without a struggle. In
view of these later events, the taking
OF Nanshan hill may turn out, after ALL
to have been as wise as it was cour-
agsous.
The two questions which are most
thoroughly agitating the prophets at
present concern the Russian fleet in
Port Arthur and Kuropatkin's report
cd attempt to raise a siege of that
town.
Ii the Japs seem about to storm the
line to Port Arthur will the Russian
feet make a run for it? The result of
this run would be the destruction of
the Russians. but also the severe Grip
ping of the Japanese fleet, which
would open the way for the Baltic
squat rons appearance in oriental wat
eE. If tGe Russian ships staid in the
hal Dor their fleet would be destroyed
Just the same, but no coincident dam

is one consideration in this respect
which must not be overlooked. 1t is
reported that the big naval guns have
been removed from the ships and sta
toned in the land fortresses. If this
is true the guns could hardly be got
beck to the ships in time for sudden
rush to sea.
VIII Kuropatkin try to relieve Port
Arthur? If he does he must march
down tho railroad from his present
position at Liaoyang and strike Oku
I'm the rear. 1t is fair to suppose that
Oku has fortified his rear, and his
base is, of course. safe. because his
base is the sea. If Kuropatkin march
ed ir. any force southwark from Lao
yang his left flank would be exposed
to attack. from the third Japanese
army at Takushan. which is under
command of Lieut. Gen. Nodzu, while
his rear would be open to a simulta-
neoas attack from Gen. Kuroki, whose
forces are now concentrated at Feng
wangcheng That is the situation as
sized up by military experts.

Foreign Element in New York Ar
irhfir1.r Them

Foreign Element in New York Are
Fighting Them.
The New York Commissioner of Po-
lice, William McAdoo, has his hands
full in trying to devise plan whereby
harmony can be made to prevail between
the users of automobiles and the people
who find it necessary to use the streets
to obtain livelihood. The friction,
which is the outg1oyth of recklessness
on the one side and violence or the 9th
err has become serious matter Espe-
cially in the parts of tie city where the
foreign element predominates does the
automobiles find life unsafe.
Some of these people have become so
embittered against the chauffeurs and
owners of the horseless carriages, who
dash through the streets at ordinance
breaking and life-endangering speed, that
they throw bricks and stones at them
whenever they appear. Mrs. William G.
Gottschall, wife of the president Of the
Port Chester Railroad, had a narrow
escape from death and is still confined
to the hospital, because of the attack
made upon her husbands machine, in
which she was riding in the East Side
recently The assailants were Italians.
A few days ago Albert Hilton. son of
the late Judge Hilton. was struck on the
head with a stone while speeding down
Washington avenue. These are but two
of many instances showing the dangers
to which automobile occupants are ex-
posed~'
Much of the trouble in the congested
districts of the East Side is due to the
fact that automobiles are obliged to pass
through them ON their way to and from
the ferries. Otherwise they would keep
away from that district. Commissioner
McAdoo thinks if he can devise a plan
of special routes the war on automo-
biles in the East End will come to an

ONE WEEK OF WAR.
LITTLE NEWS HAS LATELY COME
FROM THE FAR EAST.
Only Events Recorded During Week
Are UnimportanS Skirmishes His
tory, in the Wan Dispatches, Has
Given Place to Speculation.

During the last week there was lit
lie news from the far Hast, and in the
war columns of the newspapers history
gave way to speculation. The only
events recorded were several skirm-
ishes between the outposts of Kuroki's
army, which rs concentrated at Feng-
wanecieng, and Cossacks thrown forth
as feeders from the Russians at Mo
tlel pass. midway between Fengwang-
cheng anu Liaoyang. The skirmishes
were intended only to develop the po-
sitioz of the enemy. and signify moth
lag, as is evident from the small num-
her of casualties resulting from them.

EDWARD l.. VENT. with whom he was
not on good terms The body was found
by boy who was searching for a stray
COW. The front teeth were missing. His
revolver, from which three shots had
been fred, and his eyeglasses were lis
covered twenty feet from the body.
What are supposed to be bullet holes
were found in the coat and vest. There
was bullet wound above the heart,
which was probably the cause. of death.
The vast property on which the scene
of fine tragedy is laid covers several
counties and extends in part over the
borders of four States-Virginia, West
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. 1t
is Wild mountainous land, rich in unde-
veloped coal and other minerals. Its
mountain strongholds are peopled with
squatters, who have lived there for gen
erations and who have furnished the
men who have shed so much blood in the
Hatfield-McCoy feuds This tract is
owned by the Wenz family, and the
sons a few years ago organized com
pany to develop the property. They
built mansion on the scene and went
there from Philadelphia to live.
Early last October n big Illicit dis
tillery in the neighborhood was broken
up. One of the revenue officers was
killed and the leader Of the moonshners
mortally wounded. The responsibility
for the whole affair was placed upon the
shoulders of Edward Wentz by the
moonshiners. He was warned by friends
that his life was in imminent danger.
Oct. IA last he started out for a ride
on horseback, and that was the last
seen of him until his body was found
recently. The whole country roundabout
was thoroughly searched. and the spot
where the body was found was gone
over again and again. Rewards aggre-
eating 100000 were offered for infOr-

SIEGE OF PORT ARTHUR.
Japanese Sure to Pay a Tremendous
Price for City's Fall.

The earlier reports of the battle of
Kihchau and the storming of the de-
lenses of Port Arthur were to the effect
that the Japanese had sustained the
appalling loss of 1900 men killed. The
Russian loss was not known. but was
supposed TO be nearly as heavy.
The totals are still large, but it ap-
pears that the Japanese loss is only
about one-fourth that originally report
ed, 1900 killed and wounded, while the
Russians left 400 dead on the field The
Russian losses are doubtless not so heavy
as those of the japanese because they
wers@ Sighting behind trenches. while the
japanese we're the assaulting party
The loss is heavy enough, however
to suggest the desperate nature of the
contSst and establish the reputation of
the japanese soldier for GOODNESS and
courage under fire. In fact, the supe-
riority of the japanese over the Russian
soldier appears to be well demonstrated
He not only overmatches the Russian in
courage, but he fights with greater intel
ligence, greater enthusiasm, and with
a reckless disregard of the value of his
own life which makes him most dan

Disease Has Caused 436 Deaths in Ie
Weeks in New York.


An alarming increase in the death rate
from cerebro-spinal meningitis has caus-
ed concern in the New York department
of health. Physicians in all parts of the
city are combating the disease and urg-
Ing their patients to use scrupulous care
in the diet and general health Of their
children. During ten weeks last year
there were IS deaths from the malady.
In the same period this year the board
of health has recorded the deaths Of 436
persons. Each week the percentage has
steadily increased. running from seven
deaths on March u 10 % ten weeks
later. The outbreak is the worst since
1873.
While it Is more common with infants
IL is readily communicated to adults; in
deed, the figures show that many persons
over 10 years Of age have succBmbed to
the fever. When attacked by cerebro-
spinal meningitis child has little chance
for it's life. There are many cases on
record where children and adults have
survived, but in nearly every instance
the victim has been left with some per
manent affection. blindness, deafness
and paralysis being the more common
impediments which the dread disease has
left behind

CHICAGO.

| UnlCdQ0. Chicago trade for tie past
-I week says:
Diminished production is mostly
confined to few industrial branches
in which there is suspended activity
due to labor disputes. The contem-
plated return to a ten-hour day basis
while met by much union opposition,
raises a question for amicable consid-
Grafton and early settlement to insure
no further interruption to general bust
ness. While there has been a large
outgo of food stuffs by the all-raiI
routes to the seaboard, 1t is unfortu-
nate that the lake tie-up continues and
receipts of much needed raw materials
interfered with. Forest products, coal
and iron ore have run behind the nor
NAL requirements and disturb large
manufacturing interests Aside from
these disquieting conditions the course
of trade remains satisfactory.
Distribution of merchandise main
tanned seasonable volume in the lead
ing jobbing and retail branches. Or
ders from the interior for staple goods
made a good exhibit, and there is more
evidence that country stocks are in
larger consumption.
Grain shipments, 2,277,655 bushels,
are Al per cent under those OF same
week last year, most of the decrease
appearing in wheat. Settlements on
the May wheat option were made with
out difficulty. Demand has shown
strength in corn. Compared with last
weeks closing prices advanced, in corn
31s cents, in wheat 27s cents and in
oats rs cents. Receipts of live stock,
265,O0S head, are slightly larger than
year ago. Choice beeves advanced
80 cents per hundred weight, ard
heavy hogs gained ~ cents, but sheep
were plentiful and declined 10 cents.
Failures reported in the Chicago dis
