Kouroâ€" patkin‘s latest report is regarded here as candid, soldierly and lucid, giving a clearer appreciation of the happeningthan the more graphic accounts of the correâ€" spordents. Nevertheless it does not afâ€" foct the judgment of the critics. The reâ€" sult confirms in the holders of rival views here their respective opinions that the honors rest with Gen.

Insurance Men Do Not Think There is Danger of Her Seizing Vessels. New York report: Marine underâ€" writers are apparently not uneasy over the presence of the Russian cruiser Lena in the harbor of San Francisco, says the Journal of Commerce. They do not beâ€" lieve that she is any serious menace to commerce, and war risks on vessels tradâ€" ing in the Pacific remain unchanged at former rates. It is not considered that for the presont at least the danger of any vessel being captured has been inâ€" ereased by the advenrt of the Lena. It is stated by officials of the marine inâ€" surance companies in this city that so far.no application has been made on beâ€" half »f anv vessel as involving any danâ€" far.no application has been magae on PC~ half of any vessel as involving any danâ€" ger from the Lena, and there is a general feeling that there is but little cause for uncasiness. on that score. The rates reâ€" main unchanged at 1 per cent. on cargoes from ports on the Pacific eoast bound to Japanese ports, and oneâ€"quarter of 1 per cent. from ports in Japan to the Pacific coast. A St. â€" Petersburg _ cable _ says: Telegraphic enquiries have elicited the information from Vladivostock that the Russian transport Lena was sent to the Pacific with ‘the view of stopping the shipment of contraband of war. There is an intimation, also, but this is not official, that several other vessels, proâ€" bably merchantmen purchased in Gerâ€" many, and converted into armed cruisâ€" ers, are in the Pacific on a similar misâ€" sion. If the United States doclines to perâ€" mit the Lena to have ample time in which to make complete repairs, without which she could not venture to underâ€" take a long voyage either back to Vladâ€" ivostock or home by way of Cape Horn, it seems proboble _ that Russia _ will acquiesce to the decision to disarm her. There is no disposition here to criticize the course of the United States so far as it is reveaied in‘ the preéss despatches. _ Ambassador MeCormick has conâ€" pleted arangements to send about eight hundred Japanese refugees, collected at Perm, Gormany, whence they will be l shipped home. Tke Lena Was Sent to the Pacific to Check its Shipment. The Japarose Troops Got the Worst of the Fight on Two Occasions. A St. Petersburg cable: The emperâ€" or has received the following despatch from Gen. Stoessel, commander of the Russian military forees at Port Arthur, dated August 28: _ "I am happy to reâ€" port to your majesty that at 3 o‘clock in the morning of August 27, during a violent rain and _ thunderstorm, the Japanese again aitempU@» to ciapture our loft flank positions, near number one fort and Udan mountain. â€" Their atâ€" tack was everywhere _ repulsed. _ Our losses were small, three men killed and iwo officers and 98 men wounded. The wounded were brought in and are being carefully tended. _A number of Japanâ€" ese corpses would have been picked up by us, but the enemy prevented trom so doing by opening fire on the hospital attendants who had been sent out unâ€" der the red cross flag." Another despatch from Gen. Stoessel to the emperor, dated Sept. 2, says : "On the night of Sept. 1 the eremy atâ€" tacked Visokaya and Dlinnaya mounâ€" tains and the neighboring fortifications, cpening simultaneously an artillery fire on the forts and mountains. _ The leadâ€" ing files of the enemy, with the Japanâ€" i on 2s 1 U ese columns following them, were disâ€" covered in good time, and our batteries opened on them. â€" The leading files forâ€" tfmately encountered some automatic mines and many of the enemy were blown in the air. _ The attack was reâ€" pulsed in an hour. _ Our losses were inâ€" considerable. One officer and seven men were wounded." Japanese Troops Fought With Great Brave:y, Though Officers Were Killed. A Tokio cable desptch says: Gen. Modzu reports that the heaviest fightâ€" ing at Liao Yang occurred during the evening of September 3. The twentieth regiment, having previously lost succesâ€" sively two regimental and four battalâ€" ion commanders, assaulted and dislodged the Russians from their redoubts at Yusâ€" fangmiao. â€" There were no Japanese ofâ€" ficers above the rank of captain. Capâ€" tain Yogami, commanding the regiment, led the charge and inspirited his men. The reserves unhesitatingly filled the gaps in the assaulting line. The men, unmindful of wire entanglements and other obstructions, rushed up to the Russian works shouting "Banzia." One TWO ATTACKS REPULSED, CONTRABAND OCF WAR. A GALLANT FIGHT. THE LENA. battalion lost all its officers in the first clash, and a private subsequently comâ€" manded it. One company was reduced to fourteen or fifteen men. _ The regiâ€" ment‘s losses were from twelve to thirâ€" teen hundred. In spite of the fatigue at sunrise Sept. 4. the Japanese continued the pursuit of the Russians, but the lack of bridges forced them temporarily to remain south of the Taitse river. n Steamer Calchas‘ Cargo Tantamount io Stopping Trade With Japan. A London cable: The Globe this afâ€". ternoon says that the decision of the: Viadivostock prize court to confiscate that portion of the cargo of the British steamer Calchas consisting of flour, cotâ€" ton and timber, consigned to Japan, if confirmed by the Russian supreme court, amounts to a complete ignoring of the protest lodged by Great Britain at St. Petersburg against the inclusion of proâ€" visions in the Russian list of contraband of war. The paper adds: "It has also been stated in behalf of His Majesty‘s Government in the House of Commons that raw cotton would ouly be regarded by Russia as contraband when destined to make explosives. The manifest shows there were 36 bales of cotton on board the Clachas consigned to trading comâ€" panies in Japan. The shipment from America was purely commercial. _ The decision of the prize court if allowed to pass unchallenged by Great â€" Britain amounts to nothing less than a prohibiâ€" tion of commerce between this country and Japan." Of Kamachatka Peninsula, But Were Driven Out by Russians. A Petropavlovsk cable (delayed in transmission.)â€"In the middle of June Lieutenant Gundusi, of the Japanese navy, with one hundred and fifty naval reserve men, landed on the west coast of Kamachatka, plundered villages, exâ€" pelled inhabitants and issued proclamaâ€" tions declaring the sovereignty of Jaâ€" pan over the Kamchatka peninsula. A sailing vessel, with 100 Russian reserve men and a detachment of one hundred militiamen, was sent from Petropavlovsk to the west coast to eject the Japanese. The Russians defeated the latter and captured their leader. The Russian force lost one man killed and four men wounded. _ The Japanese lost 17 men killed. _ The Russian naval detachment later burned five Japanese schooners, killmng seventy Japanese.

In the A Tokio cable says: the presence of the Russian warship Lena in San Francisco is exciting keen interest here, although the motive of the trip is not understood. One theory advanced is that Russia is endeavoring to test the attitude of America unon the legal quesâ€" tiona invotved. Another theory is that the Lena, while engaged in scouting, Un? LUDL, TENC "CBUBOC TT Em oemacier called at Korsakoff, found the wreck of the eruisor Novik, learned of the scatâ€" tering of the Port Arthur fleet and the defeat of the Vladivostock squadron, took the Novik‘s crew on board and fled to San Francisco. The telegraphic reâ€" ports of the Lena‘s crew and number of guns on board indicate abnormal condiâ€" tions, for a ship of her class. The _ Japanese _ government, while watching the incident with close attenâ€" tion, has not expressed its attitude upon the case publicly. Russian Troops Talk of Nothing but the Great Battle of Liao Yang. A Multden cable (delayed in transâ€" mission.)â€"Everything is quiet here. The Japanese have retired southward and it is even reported that they have evacuatâ€" ed Yentai. The belief prevails here that the lul!l may continue for several weeks. Stirring events at the battle of Liao Yang are the sole topics among the ofâ€" ficers and soldiers here. Heroic feats are recounted and the desperate nature of the Japanese charges south of Liao Yang and their incredible advance reâ€" peatedly over the dead bodies of their comrades, are constantly alluded to. The Russians also made several hbayonet charges, among the most brilliant being that of the Morshansk regiment, headed by its wounded colonel. FIGHT THEIR BATTLES O‘ER AGAIN ‘The youthfulness of the Japanese solâ€" diers surprised the Russians. Some of them are not more than 18 years old. The reports that the Japanese bolsterâ€" ed up their courage with intoxicants are classed as nonsense, the best evidence to the contrary being the remarkable enâ€" durance they displayed.

Was That of Mrs. Samuel:Smith, Who Had Applied for Divorce., Eugene Minor and Gertrude Smith Arrested on Suspicion. Cleveland, O., Sept. 19.â€"The body of a young woman which was found yesâ€" terday crowded into a trunk, _ and which was picked up in the water under a coal dock on the Lake front has been identificd as that of Mrs. Inez Smith, this city. The woman disappeared _ on Sept. 16. That she was murdered and he body placed in the trunk and thrown into the river the police say is certain.| Some time ago the woman applied for‘ a divorce, alleging that her husband,| Samuel Smith, had another wife living.! whom he married in 1892 Before herl marriage to Samuel Smith the murderâ€" ‘ ed woman‘s name was Inez Hall, and she lived in Zanesville, Ohio. The Smiths had / lived in Cleveland about five years, but recently had not been living together. | The police have arrested Eugene Minor, and Gertrude Smith. It is believed by ‘the police that they know something of the case. A despatch from Zanesville last night stated that Samuel L. Smith, a colored waiter, and Inez Hall, a white chambermaid, employed at the Clarenâ€" don Hotel in that city wore married there in Jan., 18$89. The mother of the dead woman lives in Cambridge, Ohio. The top of her head had been erushed in, probably with some heavy blunt weapon. This must have been a fatal blow. The body had then been . jammed into the trunk, a small affair. The head and feet were almost touching, so difâ€" ficult had it been to crowd it into the small space. . Criminal Instincts in an Indianapolis Boy Are Corrected. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 19.â€"The corâ€" rection of eriminal instincts by a surâ€" gical operation is the latest feat of the Juvenile court. Jesse Beard, fifteen years old, was Jesse Beard, fifteen years old, was brought â€" into the Juvenile court in March by his mother, Mrs. Matuda | Beard, of No. 652 Arch street, and was. charged with being incorrigible. He had been away from home five days, and the mother and sister of the boy thought that he should be put in some instituâ€" tion whore he could be managed. Pendâ€" ing an investigation of the case, Mrs. Helen W. Rogers, chief probation officer, and others of the court, conceived the idea that a physical Mefect | was reâ€" sponsible for the lad‘s mental attitude. The mother and sister then remembered a fall recoived by the boy when three years old. _ Me had struck his head on @ rock in a stream where he was wadâ€" ing. _ Dr. Kohlmer‘s examination showed a concave formation of the skull where it should have been convex. _ Arrangeâ€" ments for an operation were made, but they wore not carried out until July 5, as the boy had run away in the meanâ€" time. The operation by DPr. Kohlmer involyâ€" ed the removal of three pieces of the skull, on the under side of which he found thick growths pressing against the head. The boy was allowed to leave the hospital fourteen days later, well and strong as ever, but showirg a reâ€" markable difference in his manner. The old surliness and ungovernable temper were gone, and he was perfectly amenaâ€" ble to the wishes of his mother. The mind of the boy has cleared, and he seems extremely bright. It is beâ€" lieved that he will learn _ rapidly | in school and make up for the worthless years,. â€" He understands what has hapâ€" pened to him, and says he is very thankâ€" ful to the court and to the doctor, He will enter a special school in conâ€" nection with Shortridge â€" High Schoo!, maintained for truants and backward students, this week. _ The boy has not been in school for three years because of his incorrigibility, and at the time he was taken out of school he had reached only the second gradeâ€"the class of boys eight years old. Skeikh Willing to Pay $200 for Toronto Girl. Toronto, Sept. 19.â€"A young Toronto lady has just become involved as the heroine of an adventureof an "Arabian Nights" flavor, and which contains the essentials of an Oriental romaunce. The lady in quetion is, not unnaturally, reâ€" luctant to allow her name to appear, She resides on Waimer road, however, and has recently returned from an extensive tour of Europe, Egyll»t and the Moly Land. It was in the lastâ€"named region that the romance developed, and it was made clear that the graces of Canadian femininity are_ not less appreciated abroad than at home. €] Letters addressed REMARKABLE OPERATION.

It is the opinion of Capt, Motley that the body had been in the water from three to four weeks. So badly accomâ€" posed was it that the features are bareâ€" ly distinguishable. The remains were terâ€" ribly bloated and all the hair had falâ€" len from the head, The woman was dresâ€" sed only in a cheap white wrapper, Mer stockings were black and there were no shoes on her feet.

The ladv had searcely returned to The lady had searcely returned to Walmer Road when she was surprised to receive, through her Jericho acâ€" uaintance, a â€" proposal of â€" marriage ?rom the sheikh. It was couched in Oriental elaboration of phrase, and was equally Oriental in substance. The sheikh offered a price of $200 for the lady‘s hand, cash on delivery. This, however, was on condition that the future wife would consent to make the bread and churn the butter, which is done afresh for every meal in the Bedouin camp. _ In case she would be disinclined for this, the price would be only $125, and the remaining 875 would be used to buy a slave to perform these duties. In any case the wife would be exâ€" pected to perform the usual woman‘s work of drawing water from the wells and carrying wood for the fires. Mowâ€" ever, as the wolls near Jericho were inconveniently situated, the sheikh deâ€" clared â€" himself willing to move his camp to any other \part of the desert that the lady shotfd prefor.
