The Austrian sortie of last Saturday was preceded by such an eXtravagant use of ammunition by the artillery as to leave the impression that the be- sieged army was at the end of it's re- sources and desired to consume the re- mainder of it's ammunition prior to surrendering.
 Although Przemysl had been elimin- ated as a positive menace to the Rus sian troops operating in Galicia since it was isolated and surrounded early in october. it always had been a poten- tial source of danger Many stubborn battles have been fought by the besieg- CTS with portions of the garrison which attempted to break through the invest ing lines to join the relief columns which on some occasions pushed within 25 miles of the city. It is believed here the next important development in Ga licia will be d new Russian advance toward CracaW, the Austrians having been virtually driven out of the terri tory as far southward as the Carpa- thians.

LED IN GREAT TEA RACES
Norwegian Bark Fiery Crons Most Re-

KRIsTIANIA. July 24-The Nor

by German submarine on the Sicily

China clippers that figured in the great

older Fiery Cross. which> had been
wrecked the previous year. and was
commanded on her maiden voyage by
Captain Dallas. the greatest Of the clip
per captains. Under him and his sue
cessor. Captain Richard Robinson she
proved well-nigh invincible, receiving
the premium for being tho first vessel
in the English docks on four different
years. and being within twenty four
hours OF winning the race on two tother
occasions. She remained in the front
of big racing boats for more years than
any other. vessel in marine history and
outlved all her contemporaries Of the
famous skipper fleet.
In the greatest tea race OF all his
tory. that OF 1866, the Fiery Cross held
the lead until tho last few days. when
she was obliged to anchor in the Downs
and ride out a sudden gale. The Ariel.
coming through on less stormy
course. beat way through the gale
and locked a few hours ahead Of her
rival.
III 1871 the Fiery Cross deserted the
tea trade for that of New York. and
was afterwards sold to Norwegian
syndicate.
