{ ‘ Oku’s and Nodzu's Forces Made On- f slaught on Russians Near Kaichou, and After Losing Heavily Made a Second Attack, Which Is Reported in Progress. er CHEFOO, July 14.—A despatch from St. Petersburg rays that news has hes been received there that Gen. Oku’s army from the south and Gen, Nodsus's army from the east, have closed in upon Taschichiao (To Tce Kiao), where Gen, Kuropatkin is reported entrenched. The despatch says that 130,000 Japanese are involved in this move- Ment and that the outcome of the battle which 1s now reported on will @etermine whether Gen. Kuropatkin intends making a stand at Taschi- @hiao, the possession of which by the Japanese would compel the im- fmediate evacuation of Newchwang by the Russians. PORT ARTHUR'S CRISIS REACHED. The rumor that Port Arthur has fallen is not credited here. That there has been tremendous loss of life and constant fighting around the Desieged fortress there is no doubt. All the correspondents agree that the Japanese have lost thousands of men, and this fact is borne cut by official Feports received at St. Petersburg of the battle of July 10. These samo correspondents all give the report of the fall of Port Arthur, but none of the despatches gives an official statement, THE REPORTED JAP DISASTER, 8ST. PETERSBURG, July 14—The General Staff, although {t has no farther news up to the present hour Port Arthur, maintains that there is of the reported Japanese disaster at no reason to doubt the fact that the Japanese have suffered a substantial repulse, pointing out that it Is signifi- cant if the report is untrue that no denial has been issued trom Tokio, which did not hesitate to deny the Russian reports of the loss of the battle- ship Shikishima and the atrocity storles. The General Staff denies that the Russians were driven out of their in- trenchments at Sikseyan, or that severe fighting occurred at that place. JAPANESE OCCUPY YINKOW. TOKIO, July 14—4,30 P.

AUGER DIED IN EXILE: MINT BE BURIED AT HOME Friends of Old “South African Lion,” Who Was Expelled from Country by English, Ask Permission to Take His Body to Native Land. CLARENS, Switzerland, July 14.—Paul Kruger, former President of the Transvaal Republic, died here at 3 o'clock this morning from pneumonia and Supervening heart weakness. His daughter and son-in-law were with him at the time of his death. Mr. Kruger lost consciousness on Monday. He had been out only once since his arrival here at the beginning of last month, The ody was embalmed, and this In a vault pending funeral arrangements, afternoon the remains will be placed Application Will be made to tne British Government for authority to transport the body to the Transvaal. In the mean time it will be temporarily interred here. The death of Kruger marks the end of one of the most remarkable men fn the world, and his dying an exile in Switzerland cioses a life that wag an eventful cne for more than seventy years. Starting with nothing, Mruger, who was four times President of his rountry and remained President until the fate of the Republic was sealed and he was forced to flee to escape capture by the British, {s supposed to have died worth many millions, Krugers ancestry was Dutch, and head of the Krugers in South Africa because of religious differences that woman, Was a Boer Statesman, Certain it is that he always was Statesman after the opportunity cam his way to be one. His advancement & | public life after he reached man’s estat made him a figure in the history of th world, Kruger's earliest recollections of any thing like the affairs of his country be- gan when he was nine years old, or in 18%, when his father with hugdreds of other Boers was driven from Cape Col- ny and made the long trip over the veldt to the north, crossing the Orange River. Kruger was not then ten years old, but he had his share to do on the march, He drove cattle and kept them from being stampeded, while his father with other emigrants protected the herd and the women and children from the attacks of the savages. The counry into which the Dutch were forced was for years a battle-ground between the settlers and the natives, dhe settlers and the lions and tigers, and when Kruger was fourteen years old he ‘was considered old enough to bear his share of the hardships of a campaign @gainst the natives, He took part in ‘the campaign that forced them far to the north into what is now Matabele- land. Had Married at Seventeen, He was'twenty-seven years old when fhe became 4 field cornet, and from that time on participated in all the wars of the republic unt!l too old to take up a we At ewventeer he had married and saken two farms. Hie elevation to the positon of a cornet gave him certain civil duties as well as military to ner. form and brought him into local promi- nence. From the time of his elevation to the position of a feld cornet his rise was rapid. He became & factor in the affairs ef the nation of which he In later years was President. It was Kruger who was sent to Eng- land to dicker with the British as to Boundaries of the republic, to make the particular ancestor Who was the was an exile from his own country followed his marriage to a French treaties and keep peace when war was threatened. There he met the English diplomat on his own ground and was victorious, getting all he went for and giving little in return. When the war with England came on the Transvaal was found prepared for it. Kruger stayed at Pretoria un- tll counselled to get out of the coun- i He did, and before going he had ’ ed out much of the fortune he hi cumulated, In fact it aid he had shipped all of it that was in cash and diamonds, A year ago his health became such that it was known the end was near. Then, almost seven ght years old, tn @ climate that not suited for him, almost alone, failed to show that vitality it was thought he would still have possessed had he lived in his natlye land, The life of Kruger was alwa; A great smoker, he taste: but once, Then when the signing of the papers at the close of the war of ist was over and the signers opened a bottle of wine Kruger took a glaes, He drank \t and made a wry face. While President his nalary vas $25,000 a year, The Government made ° Gitional allowance of $2,000 "a vest, termed “coffee money.” ‘Tt was said that Kruger lived on tae “coffee money” and saved his salar; At the outbreax of the war it was es- timated that Kruger had an estate valued at $25,000.00 During the war this was largely dissipated, and the close cf hostilities found him with a fortune estimated at $3,000,000, which he was said to have taken with him to Europe. He leaves seven children, all of whom are comfortably married. BIG CUT IN WAGES OF 25,000.

Mayor McClellan gave a public hear- ing to-day on the ordinance recently passed by the Board of Aldermen which amends section 105 of the Bullding Code so #8 to require that all buildings over seventy-five feet in height and all “fi lie buildings over thirty-five feet shal be of fireproof construction, The code now makes 1% feet the maximum for non-firepronf buildings: Several prominent builders to oppose the ordinance. Lewis Harding, for the Building Trades Employers’ Association, ad- mitted that the so-called “fire-prooted wood’’ is fire-retarding, but he argued that Ks coat being nearly double that ot ordinary wood would put such « tax on the building industry that it would seriously hamper it He called the Mayor's attention to @ feature whieh the Mayor said he had not before no- tleed, That was @ provision permitting window casings on all buildings, inelud- ing the to be of fire-proofed wood instead of Inasmuch, he argued, be made really fireproof, he thought this was a very dangerous feature, “We are convinced,” he said, ‘‘be- cause of this and other features of the new ordinance that It was introduced for the benefit of a single industry con- trolled by patents and in the hands of two or three firms. Safety was not the motive. Would ane Cost, Bond Thomas told the Mayor that the woodwork of a big building 1s about 20 per cent. of its cost and that the firms which control the fire-proofing process charge just twice as much for wood treated by them. George A. Just, who was a member of the comm m which drafted the present Building Code, denounced the pew ordinance. He said he wanted to speak as plainly as he could to the Mayor and he repeated the charge that the ordinance was drafted for the bene- fit of the firms which control the fire- proof atents “tt tee not @ question,” the Mayor said, “ot motives which may have caused this ordinance to be passed.
