You recollect about a year ago
a woman in this city declared
that if her direction were follow-
ed that it was just as easy to be
the fond parents of a boy as a
girl. She really did communi-
cate with the Russian minister
at Washington so as to get the
ear of the czar. She now claims
that the recent event in the im-
perial household, the birth of an
heir, was owing to a letter which
the minister at Washington for-
warded to his royal master. -

John Huff, the negro shot by

THE
ASSAULT
Chefoo, Aug. 20.—M. H. ljuin, Jap-
anese consul general at Tien TBin, who
arrived here today on the British
steamer Pechili, and who had a conver-
sation with the commander of the Jap-
anese torpedo boat destroyer which
overhauled the steamer off Liaoti prom
ontory last night, says today’s battjie,
which began at daybreak:, is directed
against the fortress itself. It is taking
place along the entire line and is Jap-
an’s supreme effort, to which jrecen*
battles were but preliminary contests.
Be added. .
“I firmly believe you can-safely say
that Port Arthur will soon be in our
hands. One after the other of the outer
defenses have been taken by the Japan-
ese and when the latter completed
preparations for the grand assault,
General Stoessel was asked to surren
der. He refused. Now comes the fina
test.” . J

Chefoo, Aug. 20.—The steamer
Pechili, just arrived here, was
overhauled and boarded by a Ja-
panese destroyer and five torpe
do bouts six miles off Liaoti Esha
last night. An officer from the
destroyer stayed on board for
:!orty minutes conversing »with
the Japanese consul at New
Jiwang, who was a passenger
for Chefoo. The sounds of firing
were so heavy occasionally that
conversation was difficult. The
apanese explained that they
were engaged in shelling the
Russian positions with the ut-
most vigor, preparing for an as-
sault today towards day break.
When the Pechili was permitted
to proceed on her course the fir-
ing was at its heaviest and was
believed to indicate the immi-
nence of a general assault.
Tsing Tau, Aug. 20.—The Jap-
anese protected cruiser Yaeya-
ma has just anchored here and
landed Major Hoffman, military
attache, who was at Port Arthur.
The major left the fortress in a
junk at the German emperor’s
orders. The Japanese cruiser
picked him up thirty miles out,
and, it is reported, confiscated
his papers. Major Hoffman’s
Mukden, Aug. 20.—Confirma-
tion has been received here of the
report that the Russian cruiser
Novik has entered the harbor o
Korsakevest, island of Sakhalin
and it is announced that the Rus-
sian cruiser Diana, recently
sighted off Hong Kong, arrived at
Saigon, capital of French Indo
China.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 20.—The
report from Chefoo that the Rus-
sians had driven the Japanese
out of their position^ at Palas-
chwang (Palang Chang), where
they had been bombarding the
ports of Port Arthur, is received
with considerable gratification at
the war office, where it is regard
ed as evidence that the defenders
are strong enough to take the of-
fensive when occasion demands
For this reason the war office is
not inclined to credit reports
that the Japanese have captured
forts Nos. 3 and 4, just beyond
Nagousho Hill, five miles north-
east of Port Arthur. It is ad-
mitted that the possession of
these -forts would render the sit-
uation of the besiegers desper-
aie.

A short time ago a firm of opt:*
ciaas notified the authorities
that their inventory of gold show
ed a shortage, used in the manu*
factors of eye glasses, covering
a considerable space of time and
amounting to several thousand
dollars. An employe was suw-
pec ted who had access to the
vault, and the police obtained a
confession. They-were told that
an employe stole scraps sf gold
regularly each week, selling Eber
for $10 gold worth $125.
scraps Eber, it is alleged, melted
together and formed the nugget,
so the police claim, which was
secured. The total amount of
gold missing is estimated at
$20,000. !

An incision was made in the

in some manner the pin slipped
from its position and could not
be removed. A second operation
followed and the same thing hap-
pened again, the pin dropping
still fnrther down, this time into
the left lung. Oedema of the
lung set in, and the girl died in
less than three days.
