According to the Japanese system of therapeutics, Port Arthur is to be well shaken before takem. : 1 Train rebbers operated successfully within 25 miies of Chicago. Very few great cities can boast of such industry zlmost within their limits. “1 am happier at the birth of a son and heir than at a victory of my troops,” ‘says the czar. By the way, what victory does he mean . ' An Indiana man, after spending $2,060 for repairs on an automobile that cdst him $6OO, has decided to give it up and wait for the $lO flying machine. The dowager empress of China is reduecing her houvsehold expenses. Many a professional man in this country would be gilad to have her tell him how she is doing it. o Women cannot, it appears, become mail carriers without wearing “pants.” The wemen will not be much blamed if they look in other directions for employment. . : Publishing a newspaper fim' Mexico has its drawbacks. —ln consceit;ence of President Diaz's efficient system of collecting taxes there are no. delinquent tax lists to plint. ) | All that a patiént public asks is that gome arrangement may be perfected whereby an average “sized pocketbook wiil not be ashamed to meet an averaged sized sirloin sté_ak; The Bozton woman who sues another woman fer alienation of her husband’s affections and demands $50,000 damages wishes it to be understood that Massachuse‘ts husbands come high. Mrs. Maybrick wants to be let alone. Whether guilty or inhocent she should have ner wish. If guilty, she has had her punishment; if innocent, she deserves the privilege of privacy. 2 A report tha! the Princess Chimay had eloped again was circulated -in Brussels the other day. It proves to have been a baseless and wicked fabrication. The princess hasn’t eloped for £ix weeks. e e | America makes more beer"tllan Germany, meore caviare than Russia, is rapidly overhauling Italy in the spa: ghetti business, and as for Dutch cheese, Holland is nowhere in comparison with us. e Japan's war debt is said to amount already to $100,000.000. As Japan" is not a rich country and itS sources of income are limited, it will be a long time in lifting the burden of this debt. In case it wins in the conflict with the Russians, it will pay dearly for victory in both men and money. A disposition cn the part of .great raiiroad corporations to get possession of trolley lines which parallel and compete with their steam systems is conspicuous in more than‘one of the states of the union. This is an ‘interesting develgpment in traffic conditions nowadays, and it is difficult to foresee how far it may go. ;

Let wide publicity be given to.the hevoism- of the colored porter on- the ill-fated Denver & Rio Grande train who saved one car and its passengers from destruction by turning the brake when the ccach was on the verge of the precipice. The evil deeds of the colored brother are made much of. The noble acts should have equal notice.

The high price of meat brings all sorts of diet cranks to the front. The latezt to appear is a New Jersey citizen who reports himself happy and flourishing after a daily ration of a cucumber in the morning, a raw turnip or potato in the middle of the day and a light supper of nuts. Too much meat may be bad, but some other things are ever mor2 alarming.

The recruiting service of the navy is getting plenty of desirable young men of Anierican birth, especially from the west, and it is a singular fact that a western Jad makes a good sailor, though he may never have seen salt water before he joined his ship. But the quality is in the blood of the race and z few generations passed on the prairies dces not eliminate it.

Everybody will certainly feel it their duty to congratulate the czar that he has a son and heir, and everybody will rejoic: that he has abolished the custom ¢f inflicting corporal punishment on th 2 peasant class, but there are Americans who can hardly admire the manner in which he has connected these two things. Corporal punishment {5 not any more brutal nor any less sij on account of the addition to

the czar’s family. If it was wrong he ought to have abolished it long ago, and if'it is right he ought not to abolish it. a 0 o Vit e —————————— |

‘A grsat many Americans have gone to Cannda during the past few years, Dbut the number has béen exaggerated. This is shown by the report of the consul general of the United -States, who points out that during the past two years fewer than 20,000 have gome from tne United States into Canada, instead of the great army which has been represented by some of the nevggpapers and other sources of informationl. The American who goes across the border can be spared. He is by no means essential to the country that he leaves, znd he will not be greatly missed.

Farmers in the vicinity of New York city are reported as declaring that they purpose to allow the country roads to go without repairs, because good roads increase the number of automobiles, which frighten horses and kill small farm animals, This is an ominous situation. If th 2 farmers are willing to inccnvenience themselves as a matter of protection from the owners of motor cars it is good evidence that the latter have been reckless of rights and comfort of the former. That is bad for motorists, because if the automobile comes ‘to be a public menace it will have to go. SRR e eS s R s ;

PORT ARTHUR IS | SURELY DOOMED s R > Japanese Continue Fierce Assault on Strong- ‘ hold—Slowly Gaining Ground—Losses : Are Enormous — Czar’s Navy Is Crushed.

Chefoo, Aug. 19.—A battle of huge proportions raged around Port Arthur August 13 and 15, and-was resumed August 17. The Japanese, it is reported, sacrificed 20,000 men, but gained important advantages in the matter of position. ' The above news was brought here on junks, one of which, having on board three Russians concealed in the baggage of Chinese to escape from the Japanesg, left Port Arthur Wednesday night and was blown rapidly to Chefoo by a gale. The main force of the attack was directed against the left wing, and resulted in the capture of Pigeon bay rositions and some of the forts at Liaotieshan. At Palunchang the Japanese hastily mounted guns, which did excellent service in aidinz the storming of the right wing, where the Japanese are saia to have captured two forts of minor value, mounting eight four-inch guns, two siege guns and six quick-firing guns. Surrender Demanded. .

On the night of the 15th the battle lulled somewhat when the Japanese sent the terms of surrender to Lieut. Gen. Stoessel. The terms provided that the garrison should march out with the honors of war and jo:n Gen. Kuropatkin; that all civilians be brought to a place designated by the Japanese admiral; that the Russian warships in the harbor numbering seven, namely, the battleships Retvizan, Sevastopol,: Pobieda, Peresviet, Poltava, the armored cruiser Bayan, and the protected cruiser Pallada, and 12 or more torpedo boat destroyers and four gunboats to be surrendered to the Japanese. y Stoessel Refuses.

Gen. Stoessel’s treatment of Maj. Vomoka, the Japanese messenger, was courteous, hut his reply was prompt and characteristic. The Japanese major then asked for a three days’ truce in which to bury the dead. This was refused. The battle was renewed at ten o’clock on the morning of the 17th, and as the junk left it was being waged furiously on all sides. A frightful incident of the recent fighting, the refugees state, occurred in the storming of forts three and four on the right wing when land mines were exploded. It is alleged that two Japanese infantry regiments, two squadrons of cavalry and one artillery company were destroyed. :

The tender included women and children under 16 years of age, priests, diplomats and officers of neutral powers. The conditions of the answer required that on August 17 at ten o’clock the noncombatants should advance under a flag cf truce. At two o'clock August 17 a detachment of Japanese infantry would accept their delivery at the conference point and convoy them to Dalny together with a limited amount of baggage, the examination of which was to be optional. Noncombatants were forbidden to bring books, writings, documents and articles relating to the war. The Russians were required to answer either yes or no, and they were not allowed to alter the Japanese conditions. o ' St. Petersburg, Aug. 20.—Acute anxiety prevails regarding the situation at Port Arthur on . account of the desperate character of the fighting «as reported taking place though -the war office does not seem to believe the danger of the fall ofthefortress is so imminent as is generally asserted. 'According to reports received by the war office, there is still an ample supply of ammunition and provisions there. While it is realized that the Japanese probably outnumber the defenders six or sevenfold, the great strength of the fortifications, it is believed, will do much to make up for the disparity in numbers. . Must Fight to the Death.

- Upon one point there #s absolute unanimity here—namely, that {f the fortress falls the fleet will not fall into the hands of the Japanese. On this point the admirality’s instructions are of the most imperative character, Vice Admiral Prince Ouktomsky has been ordered, should the worst come, to sally forth for a death struggle and there is no question here that these instructions will be carried out, both in letter and in spirit, but if for any reason a final sortie proves to be impossible the admiral is to destrpy his ships and make sure that their wrecks shall be absolutely irreparable.

WATSON AND TIBBLES.

Notified Formally of Honors Con ferred on Them by Populist Convention.

New York, Aug- 19.—Thcmas E. Wat- - son, of Georgia, the pecple’s party candidate for president, and Thomas H. Tibbles, of Nebraska, the candidate for vice president, were formally notified of their nomination Thursday night at Cooper Union., 7 - When Mr. Watson arose to speak the cheering continued nearly four minutes. Chgirman Boulton introduced him in half a dozen words, simply referring to him as the candidate of the people’s party. ‘ After a fcrmal notice that he would soon prepare a formal letter of acceptance, Mr. Watson gave up a great portion of his address to a discussion ¢f the democratic and republican platforms and the candidacy of Judge Parker. He referred to the democratic candidate’s gold telegram as follows: i “Surrounded by the Wall street magnates who had financed his campaign for two years, Judge Parker bided his time till the perils of the two-thirds rule .were passed; and when it was too late for the convention to retrace its steps—for even the democratic bosses require more than 15 minutes to turn completely round in—he cracks the Wall street whip over the heads of his leaders, and with prompt obedience the great democratic legions iwere made to {url their flag and reverse their line of march.” - Mr. Watson |discussed the various planks in the platforms of the republican and demeocratic parties, and said the two platfotms were almost identical. “Boiled down to its real essence, sifted to its rgal meaning, the demccratic campaign of 1904 is a mere waserupulous hunt for office.” “The men whose cause I would plead before the bar of American public opinion are chiefly those who tcil in the hundred different fields of industry and who have never lifted their voices toask anything of this|government except just laws and honest ‘adminristration. They are the men of the*mine, the mill, the shop and the field. ““To restore the liberties of the people. the rule of the/people. the equality of all men before the law is our purpcse. We believe that manhood should count for more than money; that character should outweigh the dollar. Whether the work with brawn Gr brain, it is the worker who should bé monarch of the world. “For myself, I do not bel:eve that the present tyranny of the corporation, the monopoly, and the autocracy of wealth can endure forever. Some day, some day the American people will rise in their resistless ‘majesty and drive the usupers from the places they have seized. Some day, some cay popular sovereignty will come again and put its foes to rcut as it did in the time of Jefferson, as it did in the time of Jackson.”

I am impeliled“to an acceptance of the obligation by a sense -of gratitude to my fellow werkers and the hope that I may be able the better to assist in restoring to power that party whose principles and past. history guarantee a safe, wise, economical and constitutional administration of the government. I heartily indorse the platform upon which I have been nominated, and, with the convention and itS nominee for president, regard the_ p_resfient monetary standard of value as irrevocably established. . - “In the campaign preceding the last election much stress was laid by republican speakers upon the prosperous conGition of the country and forebodings were heard of the ill results, especi@tily to the laboring man, which wouid follow any change in the political complexion of the government. “With a candicate whqgse personality appeals to the good sense and sound judgment of the American people, a platform whose principles are for the greatest good to the greatest mumber ‘and a reunited party earnest for the restoration of good and economical government, we should succeed. and -the " principles of the democracy again triumph. i “I beg my countrymen, as they value. their liberty, to guard with great care the sacred right of local self-govern-"ment and to watch with a jealous eye the tendency of the times to centralize _power in the hands cf the few.”
