It is also rumored that the | Japanese forces which were recently advancing in this direction have fallen back on Fengwangcheng The state of tension existing may be | fllustrated by the fact that the value of the ruble fell mysteriously at the| Russo-( e Bank.

Sharp Engagement Takes Place Off Port Arthur on Thursday, and After Inflict- ing Serious Damage on Ships of Enemy, Admiral Togo Proceeds FEastward at Full Speed With Victorious Flotilla of Destroyers and Other Craft. —_— CHICAGO, June 24.—The Daily News to-night publishes the following cable from its corre- spondent at Chefir: “Another demonstration took place off Port Arthur yesterday. The firing began from the forts‘about 10 a. m. and continued till 1 p. m. The programme was about the same as on the pre- vious d The destroyers and torpedo-boats pursued the same tactics and the auxiliary cruisers lay off the islands until the firing had ceased, when the flotilla proceeded eastward at full speed. “At 8:30 the same evening firing began heavily from the bluff, with much activity ot searchlights, indicating the approach of torpedo craft. A little Iater sounds of more distant firing were heard, evidently from the land side of Port Arthur, continuing until this morning at 5 o'clock. During that period there was an almost uninterrupted thunder, as of field guns and volley firing, punctuated with crashes as of si ege guns. “Owing to wne warnings of the Japanese that should the dispatch-boat Fawn approach the coast at night their boats would not be responsible for its safety, it was impossible to obtain more definite news. “It is probable, however, that what took place was a gencmi shore action, with naval demonstrations. It seems as though the Japanese are endeavoring to wear out the defenders by continued night activity before making a final simultaneous sea and land attack. “Many junks have been held up within the past few days for attempting to run the block- ade.

Japanese warships were seen off shore. “Our vanguard on June checked the enemy along the roads from Siayuen to Haicheng. Lieutenant Enyberts and three Cossacks were wounded. “The Japanese on June 22 had not moved out of the Chapan Pass. “There is no particular change in the situation on the Fengwangcheng side with the exception that the enemy has been strengthened and is building for- tifications near the Kapai Pass, twelve miles to the southwest, and is also making roads from Fengwangcheng in the direction of Selutchang. ““The Japanese have retired beyond Aiyangmen on the Saimatsze and Lias- sin road. “In a skirmish on June 21 Lieutenant Anitchkoff and two Cossacks were wounded.” 21 and 22 R B Stakelberg Eludes the Japanese.

The officials believe the record of the tnquest up to date warrants the indict- ment of many of those who have been called upon to testify and who haye not thus far appeared in the role Jf defendants. Captain Van Schatck, who has been under detention as a witness since the day of the accident, has not yet been called to the stand In the Coroner’s court on account of his physical cond!- tion.

Organization Sald to Want Fair Presi- dent as Compromise Candidate. ST. LOUIS, June 24.—It is reported at the New York City building at the World’s Fair that a prominent New York Democrat, on behalf of Tammany, asked David R. Francis to permit his name to go before the Democratic con- vention for President. It is said that this agent was sent to St. Louls by Leader Murphy of Tammany, who is casting about for a candidate suitable to Tammany and against Parker. In his conference with President Francis, the New Yorker pointed out that no candidate would enter the convention with enough votes to nominate and that when the deadlock came, as it seems certain to do, his name could be placed before the convention as a com- promise candidate who could command enthusiastic support of both the East and West. It is said President Francis consented to allow his name to go before the con- vention. President Franecis declines to discuss the story. —_——— EAGLES TO HOLD GRAND FETE AT SAN JOSE Street Carnival Will Open Monday and Continue Throughout the Week.
