Chefoo, Aug. 3, 11 a. m. A desper ate three days' assault on the inner defenses on the northern and eastern sides of Port Arthur has failed, ac cording to advices brought by two junks, which arrived here today. A Chinese who has arrived here on a separate junk confirms a Russian's statement that the Russian killed and wounded during the assault numbered between 5,000 and (5,000. The Japanese in their repeated assaults against the eastern forts on the hills, through barbed wire entanglements and over mines, displayed fanatical bravery. They were mowed down by the hail of shells nnd bullets and "the explo sion of mines under, their feet. Their losses are estimated at 20,00O. The Russian declares that the 'Russians held all the eastern forts leading to golden hill, and ' that the. Japanese, shattered and exhausted, retired to the eastward. The fight began before day break July and Admiral Togo too! a hand and shelled the forts at long range, but the return lire of the forts kept his ships at a safe distance, rendering the co-operation of the fleet ineffective. On the mcrnlng of July 27 the Russian fleet steamed out, keeping under the protection of the Golden hill guns. The Russian vessels did not fire on the Japanese and soon returned to their anchorage. The assault on the northern side of the city occurred July 27. Empty Boat Drifts Ashore. La port e, Ind., Aug. 2.

In placing Senator Fairbanks In nomination for vice president at Chicago Senator DoIHver said: "The roll call of this convention Is a reminder, not without its melancholy suggestions,' that the veterans of Republican leadership are transferring the responsibilities which they have borne to the generation born since 1S50. The children of the men who laid the foundations of the Republican party are here to begin the celebraUon of Its fiftieth anniversary. Ye stand at the beginning of the new era, and while the Republican party leans upon the counsel of Its old leaders, it has not hesitated to summon tc t the responsibilities of public life the young men who have been trained under their guidance to take up the burdens which they are ready to lay down, and finish the work that - comes to them as an inheritance, of 'patriotism ajnd duty. This is the significance of the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt and that is the explanation of the call which hap been made by the Republican party without a dissenting voice, upon Charles 'W. Fairbanks to stand by the' side of the president ,in the guidance and leadership of the Republican party.'

Pursued Oy 00 men the three men who murdered Charles IIa3-s, driver, and perhaps fatally wounded Patrick F. Campbell, paymaster, for the Puritan Coal com pany, about a niile south of this place, are hiding in Cedar swamp about seven miles from Portage, on the Belford county line. One of the fugitives is injured, but not enough to affect his flight In parties of about twenty the pursuing men are scattered out over the entire boundary of the Laurel tbieket and swamp, which is twelve miles loujj and seven miles wide. Fugitives Enter the 8 warn p. Every minute signal shots are heard from different parts of ti e swamp. A system of signals has been arranged so that none of the searcher will get lost, and to enable them to surround the fugitives when they are found. The leaders of the posses weie working at Randaii when Justice of the Peace McCartney, or Beaverdale, a town about six miles to the south of Fortage,, noticed three men running across the road toward the swamp. McCartney, .called upon about twenty followers to hurry. They fired, and before reaching the swamp one of the fugitives fell. Another volley of shots rang out as the fallen man attempted to rise, and he stumbled again. . ; Trail Lost by the Searchers. His companions lifted him to his feet and the three hurried into the swamp. When Justice McCatney and his posse arrived they saw a trail of blood leading from where the man had fallen into the swamp.' They followed, but when about fifty yards In lost the trail. The party then separated, scattering through the swamp. Although they watched the roads nnd searched the swamp for two hours they could not recover the trail. More men began to arrive and the numler of searchers is increasing. The search was continued all night, nnd pickets were out watch ing every road and cowpath leading from the swamps. Hundreds of oth ers forced their way through the Interior of the dense undergrowth. BTORV OF THE CHIME COMMITTED Bobbers Shoot Down Their Victims and Get Away with the Mone;, The crime for which these three men are being hunted was as coldblooded as any in history. Campbell was in a buggy, with Hays driving, in charge of .000 which he bad drawn from the Adams Express company here, and was taking to the Puritan Coal com pany's mine to pay off the men. ' The monev was In a sachel on the seat between the two men ana bom were armed. It vns about 10:13 a. m. Sat urday when about three-fourths of a mile from this place three men armed with shotguns fired at the men in the buggy from the bushes at the side of the road. Thirty-seven buckshot pierced Hays' neck and breast and he died half an hour later. Campbell was hit in theshoulder and back, from the armpit to the base of the neck. He fell from the buggy, and the thugs came from concealment, took the sachel and disappeared Into the woods.. They were seen by Campbell, who later semwied on a piece of paper that they looked like Italians. Believing he was going to die he add ed a will in these words: "I leave all to my wife.' When brought here he recovered consciousness and repeated that the men looked like Italians. Ten minutesafter thethugs got away William Helsel, a farmer; came along in a spring wagon, found the two vie tlms of the robbers, first finding Campbell, whom he lifted into his wagon. and who still conscious told him what had happened. Then Helsel went farther along the road and found the paymaster's horse and buggy and Hays body. He tried to. lift the body into his wagon, but It was too heavy, so he drove Into Portage and gave the alarm. He then" went back for Hays, while doctors worked over Campbell, nays was not quite dead when brought to town, but died ten minutes later. VfnOLE POPULATION ON THE HUNT Threats of Lynch Law If the Zllscreanta Ar Caught. Meanwhile Campbell bad been able to give an account of the murder and robbery, but could only describe the thugs by saying they looked like Ital ians. He was then conveyed to Altoona and put in the hospital, where he lies in a very critical condition. As soon as the news got abroad the hunt was begun. Campbell wr.s very popular in the county and nearly the whole population turned out in the hunt,' it being generally understood that little time would be required, once they were caught, to send the murder ers to their account From Portage for a radius of ten miles the farmers, miners, busings men and officers went on guard, and every road and bypath was watched, while parties' of men scoured the woods and ' valleys. . Once two men were seen to cross the Frankstown road, one carry ing a sachel,' but the men on guard could not capture them before thty disappeared In the woods. Fifty Dart In a Collision.

Fierce Battle in the Daily Programme. on the Far East Firing Line. CZAR'S HEN QTTI.? YANGTZTJLING Kuroki Summam: :h?csults of Two Days Fi.tug. JAP REPULSE AT POET ARTHUR Said to Have Lost 20,000 Men in a Three Days' Fight, the Russians Losing More Than 5,000. Llao Yang, Aug. 3. After a fierce battle the eastern Russian force has evacuated Yangtzullng, six miles west of Motien pass. Tokio, Aug. 3. General Kuroki has administered a severe defeat to the Russian forces which defended the Russian east flank at Llaö-Yang, whining ' separate actions at Yushulikzu and Yang-Se pass. These two plages are twenty-sir mUes apart, but the two actions were fought at the same time.., The Russians held strong positions. ' t. The' thermometer registered over 110 degrees Fahrenheit, and the soldiers suffered cruelly from heat exhaustion. At Yushulikzu the Russians had two divisions of Infantry and some artillery, and they resisted the Japanese assaults vigorously. Fis;ht Began at Dawn Sunday. Both attacks were begun at dawn on Sunday, July 31. At Yushulikzu the Japanese carried the Russian right and left wings; but on account of the strength of the main Russian position they were unable to press the attack. The two armies rested Sunday night, facing each other. At dawn on .Monday the Japanese resumed the attack. and by noon they had dislodged the en emy and driven him four miles, to Laoholing. At Yang-se pass also the Japanese were successful. Their artil lery opened on the enemy and the in fantry moved forward from Makumcza. Capture of Yang-Se Pas. The attack on this place was made at 1 o'clock on Sunday, and by nigiufall the Japanese were in possessio l of a majority of the Russian position-1, although the enemy had resisted witi determination. The Japinese forces passed the night in battle formatlo i. and another assault was made on Mo day at dawn. By 8 o'clock, Mondiy morning Yang-Se pass and the sur rounding heights had been captured. Too Hot to Fight Bapldly. General Kuroki explains the slow ness of these, actions by saying that the difllcult topography of the battlefields made it impossible to secure good artillery positions, and that the great heat fatigued his troops. The Rus sian force at Yang-Se pass was estl mated' at two and one-half divisions and four batteries of artillery. The enemy retreated toward Tanghoyen. General Kuroki reports the capture of some field guns, but the number is not given. The Japanese casualties are being Investigated. RUSSIAN STORY OF THE FIGHTS Admits That . Kuropatltln's Army Sus tained Ileavy Losses. St. Petersburg. Aug. 3. The em peror has received the following dis patch from General Kuropatkin, dated Aug. 1: "Acording to the reports of the officer commanding the eastern portion of our army his troops, after abandoning advanced positions in the Yang-Se pass, retired In the direction of Llandiansian towards Saimatsze and Llao-Yang. Yesterday our troops, after a stubborn fight, retired from their advanced posts to their principal position, but although our troops held their advanced positions they sus tained heavy losses. I hope that In their main positions they will maintain a successful strug gle even against the numerically superior enemy. According to reports received during the last few days Gen eral Kuroki has effected a concentration of his forces In order to strike in the direction of Salrtatsze and LlaoYang. All the Japanese troops which were posted in the direction of Bensikhon and near Sassyr seemed to be m tended , to operate on the right bank of the Tai-Tse river. Today the enemy is acting unde cidedly on the southern front but a re connaissance has ascertained the be ginning of a turning movement of the left wing of our troops posted at Hal Cheng by at least three Japanese dl visions. Our eastern detachment was engaged until noon today in the dlrec tion of S Jmatsze and Llao-Yang. It was seen that the enemy was advanc ing, apparently In small bodies, against the right flank of our rear guard." Claims To Be 190 Tears Old. Indianapolis. Aug. 1.

In several sections - of the country agents are offering what tbey claim to be trees budded on four-year-old seedHogs. If they deliver what they claim the trees are likely to be nearly worthless, for a seedling four years old is too old to bud and make a good tree. It could be grafted, of course, but even then would not be superior in any way to the regulation root-graf ted trees generally sold by nursery men. There are so many reliable nurserymen in the country that it seems incredible any one should be victimized by any such absurd claims, much less a farmer who is more or less familiar with fruit growing.

Jeffersonville, Ind., Ans- 1. Aviper's bite was tbe means relied cn by an unknown enemy to assassinate Charles Norris at bis home near here. But for the merest accident tbe attempt w,ould have succeeded and Norris would have been a dead man within a few" hours. Warned of the Danger The intended victim of the attempt owehis escape to Mrs. J. Donahue, an early rising neighbor, who called him to his telephone just after daylight to tell him that, in passing, she had seen an enormous snake on the front gate at the Norris home, and that tbe family must use caution in approaching the fence or one of them would surely be bitten. Snake Was Nailed to the Fence. Huryying out, Norris found that a three-foot spreading viper had been securely fastened to the gate timber by a nail through the tail. The reptile was in such a position that it could not be seen from Inside tbe gate, and any one approaching must certainly have been bitten as be put his band on the latch. Does Not Know Ills Enemy. Norris killed tbe snake, and Is endeavoring to learn who was responsible for the attempt on his life. The viper's bite Is highly poisonous, and the manner In which it was fastened to the gate makes it certain that the plan was carefully laid. Norris says he Is at a loss to determine who could wish to kill him. Wrecked br !U Ammonia Pipe. Marion, Ind., Aug. 2.

Lucas of Indianapolis, Is one of the leading ministers of the Christian church in Indiana, and is commander-in-chief of the Indiana department of the O. A. R. Here is what he has to say about the Prohibition propaganda in Indiana: "I see that F. T. McWhirter, the Prohibition candidate for governor, says he is going out over the state to stir up 'bitterness This means, or course, that he Is going out to abuse every man and party that does not agree with him. "It Is strange that a party can hope to succeed, or do any good, when Its leaders go out and impugn the motives and honesty of all who do not agree with them. Men who have not learned that people may honestly differ as to the best means of accomplishing an end are too narrow in thought to do any good In any cause. "It is especially unfortunate that a class of men should start out to organize a party, who are determined to quarrel with everybody. "The mistake of the party Prohibitionists lies in the fact that tbey are seeking the impractical and fail to credit the work that practical men are doing. They talk as though license and tax laws were made in the Interests of the liquor traffic, instead of against It. They utterly ignore the fact that , if all our tax and license laws were repealed It would be as legitimate to make and sell beer as bread and whisky as flour. "Under the constitution of our country and .the common law they stand on the same basis. It is only as statutory laws Intervene that the traffic becomes illegal, and under the decision of the supreme court of the United States the power to regulate or prohibit the manufacture and sale of intoxicants' is wholly in the province of the police power of the state. "In the 11th Howard reports, a hundred pages are devoted to this discussion and the decision, and yet these leaders have not the courage, or honesty, to state the question as It is. If they had a president and congress of Prohibitionists they could do no more to prohibit the liquor traffic in Indiana than they could do now. "Under the local option and prohibition laws now In operation more than 36,000,000 of the people of our country are under prohibition and without the legalized saloon ' today. And not one of those laws has been made by the Prohibition party or is upheld by it today. "All this has been done by what are called by them 'whisky parties.' I submit If the 'whisky parties' have given prohibition to 36,000,000 of our countrymen, while the Prohiblti.mlsts have never as a party given It to one township. It Is evident that it Is better to stand y the 'whisky parties' that do something for prohibition rather than the party that only resolves and talks and spends Its time abusing its fellowmen who prefer to be practical as well as theoretical. "Only having convinced one voter out of each forty, that he ought to vote their ticket, after forty years of party organization, it would seem thrt the Prohibitionists should see the fallacy of their method and start out to get prohibition in the towns, counties and states where they can do something."
