Knight No. 2 late this JAPANESE MINERS AND SAPPERS ARE CARRYING FIGHTING LINE NEARER TO PORT ARTHUR THE fBesnegers Resort to Engineering Skill . in Their Advance Upon the Fortress. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 17, 6 a. m.— | A dispatch received from Chefu last night, dated August 16 and giving un- | dated advices from Port Arthur, say! that the Japanese during a bombard-; ment occupied strongly fortified posi-| tions with a number of siege guns. After two hours several of the Japa- | nese guns were silenced. The Japanese, the advices say, are no longer trying to place their guns on | the higher positions, which are too eas- | ily reached by the fire of the fortress, | but are busying themselves with min- ing operations against the defenses. The spirit of the garrison continues to be excellent, and Lieutenant General | Stoessel is going everywhere encour-| aging the troops. The fortress is welll | the damage which she sustained in the | on August 13, and that her losses were supplied with ammunition and provi- sio; he mining fleet still in the harbor is capable of effective work in hinder- ing the operations of Vice Admiral Togo's fleet. There is no sickness in the fortress, and the losses in the successive fights are by no means as heavy as repre- sented in the Japanese reports. Captain Retzenstein, commander of the cruiser division of the Port Arthur squadron, reports to the naval general staff that the cruiser Askold, owing to naval battle off Port Arthur, was! obliged to enter the port of Shanghai one officer killed and three wounded and ten sailors killed and forty-four wounded.

Idaho Democrats Compromise on u:e} Polygamy Question. | LEWISTON, 1da., Aug. 16.—After one | of the most exciting conventions ever | held in this State the Idaho Demgcrats | concluded their labors at 10 o'clock to- | night and adjourned after having nom- | inated a full State and Congressional | ticket, as follows: Governor, Henry Heitfeld of Lewiston; Presidential elec- | tors, A. F. Parker of Idano County, W. | W. Wood of Shoshone, John W. Brown of Bingham; for Congress, F. H. Holtz- heimer of Bannock; Supreme Judge, | N. H.

H.! Stufflebeam of Bingham County; State Mining Chair, Captain M. J. Linke of Shoshone County. The northern portion of the State! went into the convention prepared to | adopt a radical plank condemning po- | lygamy. The southern portion of the State came here just as strongly de- termined that no such plank should | be inserted. The matter was comprom- | ised by omitting all reference to plural marriage in the platform, but passing strong resolutions condemning the practice. — s RIVER FRONT DISASTROUS Steamboat Is Destroyed” and Big Freight Sheds of Railroad Have Close Call. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 16.—A fire broke out in the boiler-room of the freighting afternoon, and in half an hour the boat was burned to the water's edge and sank, while a block of fruit and produce sheds alongside was consumed. While the fruit sheds were burning the yard engines rushed frantically to and fro in an effort to get a number of freight cars out of the path of the flames. Chief Guthrie loudly protested against the engines running over and cutting his lines of hose in two, but he was satisfied when it was later on explain- ed that the cars were loaded with enough giant powder and dynamite to have blown up half of the city. Three or four empty freight cars were burned to the wheels, while the barge Acme, laden with lumber, became a mass of fire. The firemen saved it, however, from complete destruction. Chief Guth- rie said to-night that the loss would probably total $100,000. —_——— BOLD CHINESE PIRATES ASSAULT AND LOOT TOWN Desperadoes Attack British Launches and Afterward Massacre the Crew of Guardship.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 16.—Engineer Louis Graham, who was infured by falling from an engine near Summit Sunday night, died at the Rallroad Hospital to-day. Graham intended that when he had brought the over- land limited over the mountains Sun- day night he should retire permanently from the railroad service. He had arranged to take his family on an Eastern trip and they had pro- cured the tickets and were preparing to begin their journey. An engineer was required to take the overland limited out of Sacramento on Sunday, and Graham, one of the best men on the road, offered to do it. As his train neared Summit he went out on the running board to examine gome of the mechanism, when he acci- dentally fell, striking on his head. Death resulted from this injury. Gra- ham was a prominent member of Sac- ramento Commandery Knights Tem- plar and of Union Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons. Besides his wife, he leaves a son, Lloyd Graham. He was 41 years of age. —_—————— YAQUI INDIANS ALMOST KILL TWO ITALIANS One Redskin Uses a Club and Another Attacks Victim With a Machete. SAN- BERNARDINO, Aug. 16.—Two Yaqui Indians tried to kill two TItal- jans in the Yucaipo Valley and nearly succeeded in dispatching one of their victims. One of the injured men and one of the Indians who were working together got drunk. In the quarrel that ensued the Indian broke his an- tagonist’'s jaw and felled him to the ground with a stick of wood four feet long and three inches in diameter, in- flicting a probably fatal wound. The fight was seen by a one-armed Italian, who ran off to secure assist- ance for his countryman. Another Indian met him at the brow of the hill and sailed into the one-armed man with a machete. The Italian fought off the Indian with a rock to the best of his ability, but he was be- ing horribly gashed when a rancher named Peters happened over. the hill in time to prevent a second murder. The first Italian was taken to the county hospital, where he is still un- conscious, while the other had his wounds dressed by a nearby physi- cian. The Indian who did the club- bing was arrested by Sheriff Ralphs and taken to the county jail, but the other escaped. —_———— SUPPOSED WILD MAN ONLY A DEMENTED TRADER Mexican Becomes Insane and After Shooting His Mules Flees to the Mountains, TUCSON, Ariz, Aug. 16.—Stories told by prospectors of a wild man seen in the hills back of Arispe, Sonora, are explained by the disap- pearance of Julian Espinoza, a No- gales trader, who went mad two weeks ago and fled to the mountains. Espinoza, who has for some years traveled the road between Nogales and Arispe, was last seen near Cuchi- vera, where two vaqueros found him killing the mules which drew his wagons. They attempted to interfere, but he turned his rifle on them and would have shot them down had not hig aim been bad. They watched him at a safe distance and after shooting all four mules he was seen to abandon his wagons and merchandise and dis- appear in the hills. They followed him for several miles in the hope that he might fall exhausted. Prospectors report that the wild man of Arispe carries a rifle and flees at the sight of a stranger. Meager de- scriptions led the authorities to be- lieve that the ‘man is Espinoza and a pesse will endeavor to bring in the de- mented trader. ————————— HONESTY OF PHILIPPINE GUARD GOES UNREWARDED Does Not Get Even a “Thank You” for Restoring Purse Containing $17,002 to Owner. ST. LOUIS, Aug. 16.—To the honesty of C. B. Cahusac, a Philippine guard, Leslie Lisle of Belle Center, Ohfo, owes the return of a pocketbook containing) $17,002. * Lisle was attending the Philippine exercises and had removed his coat, placing it on a bench. In the rush of the crowd for the band stand he walked away, forgetting his coat. Ca- husac found the coat and took it to the chief of guards, who on searching the garment found $10,002 in bills and $7000 in checks and notes. Lisle soon called at the office and described the coat and contents, and they were restored to him. He left the office without remem- bering the guard in any way. —————— Notice to Passengers.

The correspondent says that no com- munication has yet been received by the Chinese Foreign Office, elther from France or Germany, in connection with the Ryeshitelni affair. e s - WOULD EXEMPT ALL FOOD. Three of the wounded Great Britain Takes Extreme View as to Contraband of War. LONDON, Aug. 16.—What is con- sidered in Government circles here to be not the least important feature of the British note delivered to Russia to-day is that dealing with the ques- tion of contraband. Great Britain re- iterates the suggestion that the regu- lations issued by the Emperor defin- ing the rights of Russian warships to- ward neutral vessels carryving alleged contraband should be modified and particularly urges a revision of the list of articles declared contraband. Be- cause of her dependence on foreign countries for food Great Britain made an especially strong objection to the inclusion of rice and foodstuffs gen- erally. During the exchanges of communi- cations it has been the contention of Russia that in her regulations such foodstuffs only become contraband if “intended for war purposes or if sent at an enemy’s cost or order.” Rus- sia further points out that this is along lines laid ,down by the United States in the case of the steamship Mashona, at the time of the Boer war. The officials of the Foreign Office are reticent as to the length to which the Government has gone in respect to the status of foodstuffs in time of war, but it is said in a reliable quar- ter that the British note advances be- yond the position laid down in the Mashona case and that all foodstuffs are now practically declared, in the British view, to be not liable to seiz- ure. If this statement proves correct Continental diplomats say the declara- tion will meet with a.celd reception on the Continent.

The fighting continued all day August 12. The natives were defeated with heavy losses. Five German officers, including Count von Arnim, and nineteen men were killed. Six officers, among them Baron von Watter, and fifty-two men were Two are missing. The natives, who numbered about 6000 fighting men, under old Chief Sam- Maherero, to whom the younger leaders had turned after their former reverses, were concentrated in the Waterberg Mountains. With their women, children and flocks, they occu- pied a plain or meadowland roughly estimated at 650,000 acres, on which they had 5000 head of cattle and 50,000 sheep, goats, etc. The approaches to the plain were difficult passes, so that the Germans had severe work forcing them. The number of the Germans is not accurately known, but as nine com- panies and four and a half batteries, with some irregular troops, were en- gaged, the total probably was about 2000 men. In a skirmish preceding the battle a patrol commanded by Lieutenant Baron von Bodenhausen was surprised and the lieutenant and eight men were killed. Deserters from the Hereros reported that the arrival of German reinforce- ments at Swakopmund caused great de- pression in the native camp. Chief Sam- uel spent much time in having the Bible read to him. General von Trotha doubtless will fol- low up his success and finish the re- bellion with the Waterberg campaign.

One of the officials en- gaged in securing places for competent ants said: Never in the history of the bureau has there been so great a demand. This, despite the fact that throughout the last four years more women have been coming to this country than men.” At the various missions where im- migrant girls are cared for the same story is told. In one instance it is stated there are fifty applications for every available servant. e ADVERTISEMENTS. When a man begins to grow old he sually begins to feel sick in many ways. u: 0ld people seem to expect this. I don't believe the Almighty intended that the old should be sick. T was sick with rheumatism. pain in back. hips and legs. stiff knees and ankle joints—I could not eat. I was weak. My bladder was irri- table. I had to get up often at night. I thought these troubles were the penalty of getting old, because I had taken much medical treatment without benefit. I be- came so miserable, however, that T de- cided as a last resort to try the Electro- Chemic treatment—so, on Feb. 21. 1903, I went to the Electro-Chemic Institute, 118 Grant avenue, San Franeisco, for consultation and examination. Everything was so satisfactory, no | charge” for examination, a free loan of the wonderful Electro-Chemic apparatus for home treatment. a small charge for treatment, and in three months’ time I was perfectly cured, and I did not have to remain in the city at all, as my treat- ment was all done by the home method. I am glad T went for the first examina- tion. for that was just the thing and it showed at once what was the matter | with me. and after that my cure was comparatively easy. I say that I feel twenty years younger since taking the Electro-Chemic course. My pains are all gone. T can eat like a horse and digest everything I eat, and I feel pretty strong for a man that is get- ting way long in years. My name is R. B. Cutting and T live at Santa Cruz Cal. I am an old pioneef and I want to recommend the Electro- Chemic treatment to all sufferers and especially to the old folks who are mis- erable and sick. Medicines do no good in such cases, whilst _Electro-Chemistry surely puts new blood and new life into both men and women who are wearing out just because they are old. Electro-Chemistry cures consumption, catarrh, asthma. bronchitls, deafness. ringing ears, discharging ears, head noises, rheumatism, locomotor ataxia, paralysis, cancers, tumors, old sores, ec- zema. blood poison. all specific blood and skin diseases. special diseases of women. painful periods, weak backs, dizziness. fainting spells. ovarian pains, ulcers, etc. In special diseases of men. electricity cures cases that are absolutely incurable under any other method of treatment. It cures lr;‘ue ;erkmnbcluel simply because it attacks the trouble at its foun Irritated and weakened uiten brought back to a normal condition: the can truthfully blood is circulated to the con; or- gans and their normal actions . and strength are quickly brought back. Sep- arate and private apartments are mai tained for the accommodation of -.7; and female patients. Consultation, ex- amination and advice is free in all cases. The Electro-Chemic Institute is located at 118 _Grant avenue, corner of street, San Francisco. and the hours are from 9 to 5 and 7 to § and on Sundays from 10 to 1, L
