FEATURES OF INTEREST CONCERNING PEOPLE, PLACES AND DOINGS OF THE WORLD, i Courts and Crimes, Accident and Fires, Labor and Capital, Grain Stock and Money Market. Predicts a World War. Melton Prior, the British newspaper correspondent who arrived at Honolulu from Yokohama, says he feels absolutely certain that the war in the far east will lead to Kurcpean complications and to themost &wful war in the world's history. Mr. Prior complains that Japan has displayed bad faith toward all the correspondents. This he says is his twentyseventh campaign and it is the only one in which he has seen nothing. He believes that with the possible exception of the battle of Liao Yang, not one correspondent has seen a shot fired and he even doubts if the Liao Yang fighting was witnessed by a newspaper man. Other correspondeats are returning. Richard Harding Davis is going to the United States by way of Victoria. Engineer Saved the Train. The passengers on the Lake She re's Twentieth Century limited were saved from death by the prompt action of the engineer. A heavy freight that paused through Mishawaka, Ind., broke down between Mishawaka and South Bend and the crew took half the train westw ird. The local operator, ignorant of the accident, allowed the train to pass. When nearly upon the deserted part of the freight the engineer applied the air and emergency brakes, bringing the train, then running at sixty miles an hour, to a standstill, almost at the same spot where the midnight express dashed into the flood fifty years ago with a loss of fortyfire lives. The grateful passengers of the limited made up a purse for the engineer. Fatal Elevator Accident. At Cohen's printing establishment, Cincinnati, 0., while the men were going to work, llenry Geeman was killed and Louis Ileintzelman and Charles Schneider Mere seriously injured by the elevator dropping. Geeman, the engineer, heard the giving away of the cables in the basement when none of the sixteen who were in the elevator realized their danger. Geeman sacrificed his life to save those who dropped from the seventh floor to the basem nt. The elevator came with such force that it rebounded from the basement to the first floor. ReTenne Men 8elze Plant. Seizure of the wholesale whiskey house of Crigler fc Crigler, Pike street, Covington, Ky., made by Kentucky revenue agents, came to light, although efforts were made to keep it a secret. The arrest was made on what is considered a serious charge that of placing rectified whiskey in tax-paid barrels, and selling it 'as a high grade article. The arrest was made after clever work by Special Revenue Agent W. A. Gaines, who had be jn keeping the suspected plant under nightly espionage. Indiana Diamond Thief Arrssted in Kansas City.

DOSTON CAR BLOWM UP. Collision with Box f Dynamite Kills Ten Parsons. Ten persons were killed outright, four were injured fatally and fifteen others wer severely hurt in Melrose, a suburb of Boston, when a trolley car bound outward was blown up by dynamite. The victims were passengers on the car. The cause of the explosion was the striking of a fifty-pound box of dynamite, which had fallen from an express wagon just ahead of the car. The express wagon was driyen by John Costello, who discovered that the box had dropped off and rushed back to take it off the track, but before he got within a hundred yards of the box the car .came along and was blown up. Costello was varrested. lie was .not aware that the box contained dynamite. So great was the force of the explosion that two men fifty iet away were sererely injured by flying wreckage, while every window within a quarter of a mile was broken. ODD FELLOWS IN BIG PARADE. Fraternities Meeting- at San FranCisco March 1 l.OOO strong. In San Francisco Odd Fellows and Sisters of Rebekah, to the number of 11,000, marched over practically the same route Friday that the Knights Templar traversed two weeks before. In point of magnitude and enthusiasm it was the greatest parade ever attempted by any fraternal organization in that city. Representatives from nearly every State and territory in the Union, besides many from foreign lands, were in line. Frizes were offered for the best showing, and the brilliant plumes and uniforms of the patriarchs militant, the Sisters of Rebekahs on floats and in carriages, were all very Impressive. Decidedly the feature of the parade was the presence of fifty little orphans from the Odd Fellows' Home at Gilroy, Oal. The lodges and . divisions were reviewed and Judged as they countermarched.

In some respects the strategical situ ation of the armli2s in central Manchu ria is now similar to what it was six or eight weeks before the battle of Liaoyang. Tiellng and Mukden, the Russian positions, now correspond to Liaoyang, Halcheng and Tatchekiao then. The Liao valley and the Mongo lian frontier lie to the west of the Russians, as before, while to the east are the same mountain ranges with the Japanese forcing one after the other the passes that command the most important roads. We still have the great weight of Oku's and Nodzifs armies grimly astride the railroad, preventing any possible expedition to "the relief of Port Arthur," and at the same time ready to deal the sledge-hammer blows that will force the Russians still farther northward when the time comes, we suu.nave ivuroKi in toucn with the Russians on the east and doing the most important work over the mountain trails. During the week General Kuropatkin has reported in repeated dispatches the progress of a part of Kuroki's force along the roads from Bentsiaputze to Fu-ling and to the Fushun .mines, which He respectively ten and thirty miles east of Mukden. Kaotou Pass, where there was a skirmish. seems to be on one of these roads, while an official Russian dispatch from Harbin reports a fight on the south bank of the Hun River on the road leading to Fu-llng. The Japanese are said to have had two divisions here, rather a large number of men, and to have been repulsed. Farther east, on the road running northward from Salmatse, the Japanese advanced to an attack on Da Pass. An official telegram giren out at Tokio tells of the Japanese capture of Tiellng, which may be one of the passes just men tioned, or some other, as It clearly cannot be the City of Tieling north of Mukden. How far and how fast these move ments will progress cannot be told, as that depends on factors of weather, transport and men, concerning which we are but poorly informed. We may expect, however, In due time to see Mukden abandoned without hard right ing, much as Halcheng was abandoned when the Russians were concen trating on Liaoyang. If this Is not the case it will probably be because Kuropatkin sees hope of retaining for a while longer hi control of the Im portant Fushun coal mines. The opening of the clrcum-Balkal railroad during the week will mean much for Russia, as her re-enforcements can now be sent forward to the full capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railroad, and not mereiy to the capacity of the steamers and Ice-breakers across the lake. If we had any solid facts to go on the news from Port Arthur would MAP SHOWING ARMY POSITIONS AND POINTS OF INTEREST.

JAPANESE IN BARBED WIRE ENTANGLEMENTS BEFORE PORT ARTHUR

The heroic desperation of the Japanese soldiers at Port Arthur is shown in the picture. Facing almost Instant death, they attempt to break through the barb-wire entanglements, and there are mown down by Russian shell and bullets. Recurring exploits of this nature are made by Nogi's soldiers, and according to recent dispatches the carnage about the fortress has been awful It was in this way that the Japanese took Fort Zaredontnl, a position on the Russian right "A considerable force of Japanese advanced to attack the fort," writes a correspondent, "and taking advantage of the cover provided by the country crawled for an hour toward the fort like American Indians. In spite of the fire that rained upon them they arrived at last close to the glacis of the fort in perfect order. Then suddenly they bounded forward. But the rifle and shell fire mowed them down on all sides, and all gave up save one detachment, which, with fanatical frenzy, passing over the bodies of dead comrades, clipped, cut and broke Its way through the barbed wire right into the fort."

post skirmish it seems to him like the last desperate general- assault, and when he reaches Chefoo he reports of "hails of shot," "cyclones of shell,"f and 'earthquaking mines." In the latter part of August the Japs took four outlying forts in front of Rihlung and Kikwang. They immediately set out to strengthen these places, and made them into n.ost respectable fortifications. When the next general assault starts, these forts will try to silence the guns of their Russian opposites before the infantry come Into operation. If the new Japanese forts can obtain a preponderance over Rihlung and Klkwang those places may possibly fall to general assault. But the whole operations at Port Arthur up to the present .date merely confirm the old lesson that defenses adequately manned by resolute troops cannot be taken by frontal attack. The Japanese are desperately brave; they are especially good on the offense. They started at Port Arthur flushed with victory. They considered the place as holy and and went at it like crusaders. But they have come nowhere near storming it. Strong forts containing good men cannot be stormed. ' The Russian tried their hands at storming when they made a sortie at Fort Etse, but were driven back. The condition as to Etse Is not clear. Certainly the Russian do not hold It, but neither. It seems, do the Japanese. It is a low lying fort dominated by the Japs from behind, and by the Russians from "in front. Neither side can live In it, apparently, and it remains unoccupied. Not infrequently there Is a feeling of good fellowship betwen two hostile armies. The outposts meet and (exchange tobacco. If they speak different tongues they swap lies by the sign language. But at Port Arthur the fighting has been so bitter and desperate that the Japanese and Russian soldiers Individually abhor each other, regarding each other not merely as national but also as personal enemies. General Stoessel, acutely playing on the venomous, spirit between the besiegers' and besieged, has told his troops they will receive no quarter if they surrender, and that they might as HEADQUARTERS AT MUKDEN. well die fighting as be massacred, Tbe white flag and the red cross are disregarded by both sides, and fired Into whenever seen.

IB IB El fa ROADS The map shows the location of Shushiyen, on either side of which the Japanese are- reported to have captured two important forts. The village is about three miles north of Port Arthur, and is located west of the railway. Rihlungshan and' Kevkwanshan, on which stand important forts that the Japanese are planninK to capture, are east of the railway. The Keek wan works are among the strongest that encircle the city. At the time of the capture of Port Arthur ten years aj?o Hasegawa's brigade stormed the Keekwan fortifications. a serious movement The fact that they attacked the important position of Da Pass with only four companies, and that when thrown back they did not come again, seems to Indicate that they are merely maneuvering, while waiting for the fall of Port Arthur. The fall of Port Arthur Is evidently one of the vital links in the Japanese chain of strategy. Time and again have the Japenese movements been evidently thrown out by the persistent and unexpectedly successful defense of the Russian fortress. In their Intended calendar of war the fall of Port Arthur was set for a date some months back probably In June. ' Then from this June fall they educed a long train of consequences, such as the destruction or capture of the Russian fleet, which would allow part of the Japanese fleet to go home, repair, take on new guns In place of those worn out by constant firing, rest up its men, while the remaining ships sealed up Vladivostok. Meanwhile Nogl and his 80,000 men would be released for other work perhaps at Vladivostok. Kuroki and Oku obviously tarried long waiting for Port Arthur to fall. And by their tarrying they wasted much valuable time and probably inflicted a less severe whipping on Kuropatkin than would have been possible earlier. Stoe3el remains a great big gpoke In the Japanese wheel. Exact figures of the Russian losses in killed, wounded and missing in the operations before liaoyang from Aug. 13 to Axj. 23 have been received by the general ctafT, according to h St Petereburg correspondent.

Dun's Weekly review of Chicago trade says: The recently noted Improved tone hüs been well sustained, more confidence being drawn from the steadily increasing demand and widening consumption. A heavier movement appears in farm products and general merchandise, while a larger output is being made in several manufacturing lines. In planning for future activity employers of large forces exhibit hopefulness, and, while many car workers are idle, full resumption In steel and packing Industries added thousands to the ranks of wage-earners. Money Is cheaper than at this time last year, and an improved borrowing demand reflects a closer return to normal conditions among producers. Iron and steel Interests are booking more satisfactory orders and many building lmprevements strengthen the market for lumber, hardware and other material. A satisfactory volume is recorded in both jobbing and retail branches. Thermal conditions were favorable to continued reduction of stocks throughout the Interior. There was good buying of dry goods, house furnishings and footwear, dealings being re-enforced by numerous country merchants from various sections. New business closed In staples for fall delivery made a favorable comparison with a year ago. Markets for breadstuffs were again largely Influenced by speculative features, resulting In higher prices for wheat and fiotzr. Compared with the closings last week wheat advanced 6 cents, but the coarse grains show little change, corn being only fractionally lower. Grain shipments. 4,191,731 bushels, are the largest this year, although falling Ehort of a year ago, 9.4 per cent. Provisions disclose slight recessions in value, but live stock on improved buying became d rarer, choice beeves advancing 25 cents and bogs 15 cents a hundredweight. Bank clearings, $171.392,022, are 1.4 per cent over the corresponding week last year. The general demand for money has shown more strength, and few loans were negotiated under 5 per cent discount. According to Bradstreet's, while there are diverse movements In do New YorL mestic and foreign trade, the tendency as a whole Is for improvement along conservative lines. Buoyancy In the stock market, possibly largely manipulated, and the strength of cereal prices are factors stimulating to trade, but the advance of the fall season, with cooler "weather in tome sections, and the prospect of good returns to the agricultural Interests, despite the heavy shortage In the wheat yield, are all elements tending to encourage buying. The feeling in many lines is that as the season advances and the corn crop situation becomes clearer the need of additional re-orders will result In a fair volume of trade, comparing better "'h fall business a year ago than did last spring's trade with the corresponding period of 1903.
