The report was received with great enthusiasm, as this fort adds another link to the chain Which the Japanese besiegers «re drawing around the defend- ers of the Russian stronghold, The Russians realizing the strategic have made repeated attempts to r each time Both these heights which have been taken overlook Port Arthur and offer excetient gun positions which will materially weaken the Russian lien of defense. ‘ While the name of the new fort which has been tured is not indicated inthe dispatch it is believed to be Antss fort, which is nearly in a direct line west of Etsehan heights and about half way between Etsehan and Wolf hill, which has been in possession of the Japs for some time. Until recently Antes fort has been unoccupied, but within the last few weeks the Russian defenders manned t iewfort, threw up tntrenchments and equipped it with siege guns, hoping to check the Japanese advance at that point ‘The Japanese attack was made from the direction of Palichwang, one of the fortifications along the line of the railroad which hi fallen into Japanese hands.

On account of the Russian warships having been obliged to keep up steam for eight months and because of enormous quantities of fuel being required for a water condensing plant. there must be a coal famine at Port Arthur unless more coal has arrived recently, MANY RUSSIANS KILLED AT PORT ARTHUR ST. PETERSBURG, Sept A report received today states that since September 2 the Russian casualties at Port Arthur have been 14 officers killed and 23 wounded, 280 men killed and 750 wounded. y-five Russian cannon were ruined by Japanese fire. NERAL KUROPATKIN HEARD FROM ST.

There is an ancient and half-for gotten maxim which runs “So goes Maine in September So goes the country in November.” This means, of course, the size of the republican plurality tm the Sep. tomber state election, not a hope of the democrats of carrying the Pine Tree state. The returns from Maine are always closely scrutinized at national headquarters and old-time politicians say it is history that a reduction of the republican plural ity always presages big democratic gains in every doubtful state, Gov. Murphy, of New Jersey, says his state is sure to go heavily re publican, but democratle head quarters it is marked “doubtful.” There are all sorts of claims about |New York state and Connecticut bat the best that can be sald | them is that they are very di with the republicans relying mostly upon the fact of thelr more perfect organ|zation.
