BIG GUNS ARE CLEARING THE WAY HEAVY ORDNANCE IS BATTERING DOWN BARRIERS BEFORE BROWN BATTALIONS. ‘Washington, Nov. 26.—The Associat- ed Press learns on excellent authority that the Jopanese army was ordered to renmew its attack on Port Arthur Friday and to take the main fortifica- tions at any cost. THE END IS DRAWING NEAR JAPANESE GUNS ARE BATTERING DOWN THE DEFENSES OF PORT ARTHUR. Toklo, Nov. 26.—It is reported that the Japanese sapps directed against Rihlung mountain, Sungshu mountain and East Keekwan mountain have reached the base of the center ditche The defensive workks outside the par- apets of Rihlung mountain and Sung- shu mountain have been captured, leaving the Russians in possession of the parapets onl, are shelling the parapets and inflicting heavy damage. The evacuation of the forts s expected shortly. If the forts are taken the capture of Port Arthur in a short time seems assured. JAPS ARE CLOSING IN. Possession of Two Forts Insures Cap- ture of Others. Headquarters of the Japanese Army Before Port Arthur, Nov. 26.—The pos- session of the Rihlung and Keekwan forts cnables the Japanese to place a sufficient force on the north front of the eastern ridge of forts to execute a sweeping movement against the bat- tery positions on the crest of the w ern ridge of forts and 203 Meter hill which as yet they have not captured. RUSSIANS DID NOT ADVANCE. Report That They Had Driven Back the Japs Is Untrue. General Kuroki's Headquarters in the Field, Nov. 26.—The reports circu- lated during the past week in the East- ern papers and probably telegraphed abroad to the effect that General Ku- ropatkin, in making a general advance, bad pushed back the Japanese left a distance of three miles are wholly un- founded. The situation remains entirely un- changed during the last month, except | that both armies have doubtless strengthened their defenses and accu- mulated supplies in that time. The Russians continue their recon- = A | noissances in front of the Japanese left, but there has been no general en- gagement or change in the Japanes entrenched positions. The Japanese continue to ignore the daily shelling which front of the Central army and in many places the whole line of trenches are 80 close that the Japanese can draw fire at any time by displaying caps on sticks. A few casualties result daily from rifle fire. RUSSIANS FORCED TO RETREAT. Made a Series of Futile Attacks Upon Jap Outposts. Tokio, Nov. 26.—The Manchurian headquarters telegraphs as follows: “From 1 o’clock at night (Nov. 23) the enemy’s infantry made a series of attacks against our outposts at T.amu- tun (Lamuting?), but retreated north- ward before our force. Simultaneous- ly- the enemy’s artillery bombarded the neighborhood of the Shakhe railroad bridge, firing thirty rounds, with no damage to us.” The Japanese guns | takes place in! i | i | tour SAYS SHOOTING WAS JUSTIFIED. Guy Roche lIdentifies the Man Who Shot Him. New York, Nov. 26.—Guy Roche, who was shot twice under the heart in front of the Hotel Marlborough, identified Frank Felton, whom the police had al- ready arrested, as the man who shot him when the prisoner was brought before him in the hospital. Roche’s statement was made in the presence of Felton and two detectives of the Tenderloin station. Roche said that the shooting was ified. The police believe that the trouble between Roche and Felton, which cul- minated in the shooting, arose over a woman who had transferred her affec- tiors from Roche to Fulton. To Coroner Scholer the wounded man repeated his statement that Fel- ton was his assailant, but insisted that the shots were firéd in self-de- i fense and that the act was justifiable. Roche said he had been drinking heav- ily and that while going along Broad- way he met Felton and a quarrel arose. Felton, he said, tried to soothe him, but his condition was such that he only became more angered. He said he told Felton he was going to shoot him. and went to get a gun. He re- turned soon and as he approached Fel- ton he put his hand to his hip pocket to draw the weapon he says he had secured. At this movement, Roche told the coroner, Felton drew his re- volver and fired two shots at him. Roche declared he had no relatives. DEPARTS FOR PHILADELPHIA. Prince Ends His Visit to World’s Fair.

The trolley car was struck while the latter was running fully fifty miles an hour. The electric car was cut completely in two and the wreckage thrown sixty or seventy feet to one side. The pas- senger train was not derailed. 'The electric car carried as passengers four- teen men and one woman, all of whom were more or less severely injured. As quickly as possible the injured wére placed on a train and taken to hos- pitals in Cleveland. The accident occurred at a crossing of the two roads. A freight train had just cleared the crossing and hid from view the approaching passenger train. The electric car conductor threw the derailing switch and as the trolley car came on to the crossing the collision took place. AN IMPORTANT WITNESS. Prosecution Will Spring a New One in Patterson Trial. New York, Nov. 26.—A new and im- portani witness whose identity thus far has been carefully concealed will be brought forward by the prosecu- tion in the trial of Nan Patterson for the murder of Caesar Young, acocrding to a story which gained considerable circulation around the criminal court building during the day. Beyond the statement that the witness is a wom- an, that she is young and that she is well acquainted with both Caesar Young and the woman now on trial, the report was indefinite. Of the na- ture of the disclosure which the wit- ness is expected to ~make mothing could be learned. That the testimony is considered of great importance by the prosecution, however, seems appar- ent.According to the report the wom- an is constantly under the guard of county detectives. The calling of this mysterious woman to the witness chair tis said to be only one of the many startling features of Assistant District Attorney Rand’s case. Almost of the same importance to the strength of his chain of evidence are several doc- uments he has obtained possession of since Miss Patterson has been a pris- oner in the Tombs. It has been claim- ed since the arrest of the young wom- an that the prosecutor had secured possession of letters which, it is al- leged, show that the defendant made threats -against the life of Young, but the documents which, it is said, will be produced as a complete surprise, are of a different character.

Believe They May Solve Automobile Murder Mystery. Chicago Nov. 26—Discovery that Joseph Wheil and Frank Hogan, who are alleged to have traveled about the country in an automobile working con- fidence games on farmers, are. missing was saild by the police to be perhaps & valuable clew in the automobile mur- der mystery.

"TEN CENTS PER WEEK UNDER CONSIDERATION RUSSIAN EMPEROR IN NO HURRY TO ACT UPON ZEMSTVO'S MEMORIAL. RULER IS WEARY OF ORIENTAL WAR SAID TO BE ANXIOUS TO SECURE TRANQUILITY AT HOME AND ABROAD. 8t. Petersburg, Nov. 26.—According to the best information obtainable the zemstvo’s memorial is still under con- sideration at Tsarskoe Selo. Emperor Nicholas is said to be under no illu- sion regarding the gravity of his de- cision and is giving the memorial the most careful and most earnest con-. sideration. By some he is represented asg greatly concerned and grieved over the situation, both at home and abroad, to be weary of the war and unrest in the interior, ready to welcome any honorable means to bring the war to & conclusion and anxious to remove the causes for discontent and secure the tranquillity at home. The influ- ences surrounding him, however, are said to be almost entirely -hostile to concessions. The statement made in press dis- Patches several days ago that the rev- olutionaries had announced a truce pending the>decision of the govern- ment on the question of convoking a sort of elective national assembly to pass upon the zemstvo programme is confirmed from several quarters and fear is expressed that if the whole zemstvo programme is rejected there may be a revival of the old terroristic duel. The emperor is said to have been acquainted with Interior Minister Sviatopolk-Mirsky's irrevocabble decis- ion not to remain in the ministry if the policy of liberalism on.which he ‘went into office is abandoned. The reactionists and baueaucrats profess to see no danger in the pres- ent situation, declaring their belief that the agitation provoked by the zemustvoists will soon sink out of sight and affairs resume their normal sway. It concessions are made they say they will be slight and will mean little. Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky himself, al- though for different reasonms, is repre- sented as also opposed to the radical departure of a liberal regime. Accord- ing to his oplnion ‘it must come grad- nally and without shock. Tn this re- spect his opinion is shared by many Liberals, who believe that concessions in the right direction must inevitably lead to a full realization of their hopes. Others believe that the real erisis will be postponed to the end of the war. ACCEPTED BY GERMANY. 8uggestion for Another Peace Confer- ence Favored. ‘Washington, Nov. 26. — Secretary Hay has received from the German government a cordial note accepting in principle President Roosevelt’s sugges- tion for another Hague. As the president’s suggestion con- tained no reference to the time for the second meeting at The Hague, the German government does not commit itself on this point and awaits the pleasure of the other powers: It is probable ihat the replies from all the powers will be received within a short time. Enough already have come to assure Secretary Hay of the hearty reception which the president’s invita- tion has received generally. When all the acceptances are in it will then be determined what steps shall be taken toward fixing a date for the court to meet. pe FOOTBALL CASUALTY LIST.

New York, Nov. 26.—Jimmy Michael, the professional bicycle rider and three years ago champion middle dis- tance rider, is dead aboard the French liner L.a Savoie, due at her pier in the North river at night.
