KNOCKS OUTTEN FIREMEN One Man Nearly Cled as Result of a Prank of Two Boys. the SMOKE DENSE AND STIFLING. One of the Boys Confesses, but He Will Not Divulge His Companion's -i Name. The ten firemen who were overcome by smoke whllo fighting a blaze which had been started in a thirty-ilve ton stack of hay in (he lot at Newkirk avenue and East Eleventh street, last evening, by two lads, anxious for a huge bonfire, had fully recovered from their experience this afternoon and were back on duty. Prompt action by the ambulance surgeons who were called to the scene when the Bremen began falling unconscious from the top of the hay stack, brought six of the men back to their senses quickly, but all their early efforts were un availing in the cases of the other four.

These men, Frederick Meyers, of Engine Company No. 140; Jule Anderson, of No. 148, and William Frey and Martin Kavanaugh, of No. 150, were in such a serious condition that they were hurried to the Kings County Hospital, where all the doctors at hand were called to assist In the work of reviving them. Kavanaugh.

who was almost dead from suffocation when carried from the haystack, and who received the last rites of the church from the Rev. James McAleese, pastor of St. Rose of Una Church, rallied soon after reaching the hospital and shortly before noon he and his three companions were pronounced well enough to leave the institution. Battalion Chief James Kellock, who was in charge of the firemen, and one of the Hrst to succumb to the dense smoke and noxious gases that poured from the mass of tightly packed hay, was at his home today feeling little the worse from his experience. He was enjoying his day off and will be able to report for duty to-morrow.

The other men were David Hyde and Joseph McDonald, of No. 148; Alexander Sarsen and Arthur Morrell, of No. 155, and James Gerard, of Truck No. 68. They were all rendered unconscious by the deadly fumes, but fresh air and efficient medical aid Boon revived them.

Police Captain White of the Parkvillo sta tion Is looking for the boy who Joined 8 year old John Moran of lilra Lawrence avenue in the peculiar fcport that so nearly resulted fa tally to the firemen. Young Moran admit ted to the police that he had assisted in nr ing the hay, but he refused to say anything that would put the officers on the track of his companion. Moran was found by Pa trolman Cook hiding in the cellar of Henry Gould's house at Coney Island and Foster av enues. He denied at first that he had any thing to do with the fire, but under the pres sure of an avalanche of queries, he admitted that he and another boy had done it in the hope of seeing a big bonrlre. The young ster was held lor a hearing before the Chll droll's Court.

Sergeant Irwin and Patrolman Cook flls covered the lire shortly before 6 o'clock. The Black was in the center of a Held a short dls tanco from the Parkville police station. It was about fifty feet long, twenty-five feet wide and about thirty feet high. The hay was owned by Frederick Luch of Newkirk avenue. It was placed in the field a month or so ago.

and after being securely packed. was covered with connected boards that formed a roof for the whole stack. The flames had eaten their way toward the center of the pile and dense smoke was issuing from it when Battalion Chief Kel lock and the first companies arrived. Kellock decided to fight the blaze from the top and ho ordered the men to the Impro' vised roof with two lines of hose and In. structed them to cut openings for the streams.

The chief accompanied the men. witn tne nrst attempt to loosen the upper layer or nay, a snower of smoke ascended and enveloped the men. They were quickly over come by the fumes and before Chief Kel lock could issue further orders or assist his fallen men he. too, collapsed. The police under Captain White and the firemen who had been working on the ground ran up the ladders and carried the unconscious men to places of safety.

It was difficult work' for the rescuers, but they kept forcing their way tnrougn the aiming smoke until tho ten In sensible firemen were removed. A call for ambulances was sent in and pending their arrival simple methods were employed to revive the men. Father Mac-Aleese went among the sufferers and administered extreme unction to Kavanaugh who seemed to be (lying. Chief Kellock was taken to the Parkville station, where he was bundled up in blankets. Ho recovered suf- flcicntly within an hour to go to his home, The nine firemen were removed to the Kings County Hospital, where five of Ihem soon revived.

A night In the institution brought relief to the other four. Tho ranks of the firemen were so effectu ally decimated by the smoke that detach mentB from other engine companies in the surrounding district were sent to take the places of the fallen men. The fire smoldered throughout the night, In spite of the heavy streams that were poured Into It. and late mis morning ine nremcn were still at worn with pitchforkB and hooks scattering the hay. The damage, according to tbe police estimate, is $700.

Ftp In of OF Believes That National Ticket, Also, Will Win in the State. REASONS FOR PREDICTION. German Tot Against Roosevelt, and Every Democrat and Bulk of Stalvsasta Will Make Success Ortaln. (From an Eagle Staff Correspondent Milwaukee, November I At the outset of the campaign la Wisconsin, utaen former Governor George W. Peck (fata placed nomination for that position, the questions uppermost In the minds of his party managers were that of polling; for him the full Democratic party strength.

In all previous elections, since the close of ex-Governor Peck's second term, the Democrats of Wisconsin have, to a Urge extent; beea drawn Into the Republican fact Lone I fight and have sided with Governor La Follette. According to the common expression. Governor 1m Follette had succeeded In "Bry-anising" thousands of Democrats and asking tbem to believe that he really stood for the doctrines and policies dearest to them. Governor La Follette has himself repeatedly admitted that he coud not have twi.ee carried the state without the aid and support the "fair-minded" Democrats as lie calls them. The sensational feud between the La Fol lette Republicans and the "stalwart Repub llcans, resulting in the running of two Re publican state tickets, is already- familiar to the readers of the tingle, which printed early In the campaign an Interview with Gov ernor La Follette In which he stated that he believes himself able to draw fully 33 1-S per cent, of the Democratic vote to his support.

Also an Interview with ex-Governor Peck was published, wherein he stated that the problem before his party was that of commanding the entire Democratic support; that he believed the Democrats of Wisconsin would this year realize that they bad on hand a fight of their own of fax greater Im portance than the Republican -wrangle; that this was their year and that the divlBlon and bitter fight In the Republican ranks gave the best possible opportunity to win Ex-Governor Peck now feeU that Oe cam oaign has progressed sufficiently to make a backward glance of genuine value; that the work has now reached a stage at which It is possible to make a review of results act ually accomplished and see to what extent the plans with which the campaign opened have been actually carried out. He is thor oughly satisfied with the progress that has been made and Is confident the election will give the Btate to the Democracy, -so far as the state ticket is concernod, and probably the national ticket also. Bx-Govemar Peck inclined to be very careftil and conserva- I tive in his statements, and for this reason especial Importance attaches to what he says, regarding the prospects of Democratic vie tory In his state. Peck Confiden.t ofEleotion. To a correspondent of the Bogle he to day made the following statement: "In politics it is one tlhlng to lay plans and quite another to carry them out rrad seei them crystallized into actual results.

Con-i sequently, it is especially satisfactory when one is able to look back over a season of? hot campaigning and see that. In the main, the things aimed at, at the outset, have been accomplished. This is certainly the case in Wisconsin so far as the campaign outlined by the Democrats is concerned. "Right from the start it was apparent that the one thing to be. dome was to ratty the entire normal support of the Democratic party to our ticket.

Naturally, His kind of a statement loolks queer to a person outside of WlscotifSn. and unfamitiar with our peculiar local (JOBditlons here. InJ explanation, let it be staid that Governor LaFollette has for years drawn Into his camp a large following of Democrats, attracted by his doctrines regarding the regulation of railroad traffic rates, the taxai.ion of corporations and the passage of a primary election law. His appeal to the pllain people has been very artfully made, tand those Democrats who have found thinge- too peaceful and quiet in their own camp, and who love a fight for the fight's sake, have allowed themselves to join Governor La-Kollette'8 forces and help him. fight his battles.

"This has been the situation for several years, and. as I have- said, the principal problem which confronted us at the -outset of this campaign, was that of awaltenlng these fair minded Democrats, as Gmvernor La Follette calls them, and getting lihem to realize that they had a fight of their own on hand this year. "I believe that this work has bean very effectively accomplished. The campaign has been In the hands of men having a splendid capacity for organization, men of great loyalty to party, and who are personal friends of the candidates, and heartily devoted to their Interests. From one end of the state to tho other the lines of tho organization have been persistently pushed and carefully developed.

"We find tho sentiment genenal among Democrats that this Is tho year of Demo-crtlc opportunity and that every Democrat should this fall fight fairly tnd squarely un. der the banner of his own party. "I am not speaking at random when I sav that I have excellent grounds for the confideut belief that, as candidate for Gov- 1 A Oieat of Pstkcr Carrying State.

However, such a feud does so. 1st and has reached almost an Incredible state of slao it Is true that this factional war must Inevitably re sult In giving to the Democratic ststa ticket thousands of votes. I do not speak of this In snv solrlt of exultation; It Is simply a fact which no person who Is at all informed In the matter will undertake to dispute.

"There are probably from 40.000 to fO.000 'Stalwart? Republicans In Wisconsin, and all of tbem are fighting mad and ready to carry the war Into Africa. "Beyond all question a very large portion of these 'Stalwarts' will this year support the Democratic state ticket, and I shall, of course, be grateful to them for such sup port. 'With si reunited snd a practically solid Democratic support snd he assistance of thesa 'Stalwart' Republicans, who feel It their political duty to defeat Governor La Follette. Democratic hopes sre certainly very bright ln Wisconsin, snd I will put myself In the (position of failing fully to appreciate the splendid work done by the Democratic state aentral committee If I did not frankly confess my conviction that our state ticket will be selected, by a very satisfactory plurality. "Thusi far Ihave spoken only of the prospects oil the state ticket.

My confidence on that scare need not be Interpreted as an expression of any lack of confidence regarding the possibility of choosing Democratic electors. In Wisconsin. We have a mighty good opportunity to score a victory for the national tk-kejt. too. All of our Wisconsin Democrats are united on the St.

Louis platform, they gifeatly admire Judge Parker and they are In favor of his manly and conservative attitudetiand policies. German, Vote Against Eoosevelt. "The Geinnan vote of Wisconsin Is very heavy and. as, a general thing, has been cast with the Republicans. This year, however, there is si strong sentiment among these voters against President Roosevelt and his military and autocratic tendencies.

"At IJie beginning of the campaign I was quoted In the Eagle as saying that I felt sure ijhe Democrats would this year divert thousands of votes east by our German-Ameiionn citizens from the Republicans. That; this has been the result of tbe cam- palf.Tt I feel confident; assurances which do not'need to be discounted have come to me in fconflrmatlon ot this view of the situation. ar good, thrifty Germans are certainly going to vote the Democratic ticket this fall to a very large extent. Every phase of the situation here is most satisfactory and we feel the greatest connuence in tne results." What ex-Governor Peck has said has been Indorsed to-day by several of the prominent Democratic leaders of Wisconsin. Among them is Edward C.

Wall, for whom the Wisconsin delegates voted for the presidential nomination In St. Louis, and who Ib a warm personal friend of ex-President Clevoland. Mr. Wall said that he has no doubt whatever of Mr. Peck's election to the governorship, his observation having been that Democrats of all factions are united in his support.

Replying to a question as to whether. In his opinion, the pro-Bryan Democrats will, as claimed by the Republicans, vote for the LaFollette ticket, he said: "There Is not, In my judgment, any fouraJatlon whatever for such doubts or claims. It seems to me Impossible that Democrats who stayed with the party In 1S96 and 1900 can vote for a Republican this year. Democracy means too much lo these men, and the principles of their party are so essentially and manifestly different from the principles of the Republican party that they cannot be fooled away from their party allegiance. "Among these fundamental differences are Republican advocacy of and Democratic -opposition to, a high protective tariff, which is the father of all trusts and combinations, and the wide separation of beliefs on the subject of personal liberty and freedom of thought and action in political affairs.

Voters Turn to Democracy for Belief. "Where does Governor LaFollette Bland on these two subjects? Did ho not, when In Congress, help frame and vote for one of the iniquitous tariff laws, and did be not, i 1890, with all the energy he possessed, do-fend the Bennett school law and strive to have It retained, to the disgrace of Wisconsin? If there aro any Democrats in Wisconsin who have forgotten these things, I do not know them. There Is no hope. Democrats know very well, ot obtaining the reforms necessary in the conduct of our state government through the election of Governor LaFollette. 1 "Democratic opinion in this Btate on national iqucstions is much the same.

I knujw full well, in studying the political history of our country, that the people cannot expect, and will not get, legislation for tholr good Crom Republican sources. This cidn-viction Is so deeply grounded In Wisconsin, and has been emphasized by the factional, quarrel In the Republican party, that there appears to me to be no question of a Democratic victory this fall. "Wisconsin voters remember very well what Mr. Pock did for tho state, and they know very well what kind of a man be is now. Hie was governor from 181U until 1895.

He was in 1S90 on a platform that promised speedy relief from a law that wus dangerous to the liberties of the people. Every promise he made before his election he carried, out promptly and completely during his two terms In office. To-day Governor Peck: is a poor man. No temptations that beset men In high places have ev(er led him to do a wrong. When In 1806 he1 might possibly have been made wealthy by deserting his party, he preferred to remain steadfast, and 1 think every Bryan Democrat In this state will remember this before casting his vote, and.

In deciding that question, remembering where Governor LaFollette stood in 1S90, 189G and 1900, and where George W. stood during those trying days, doing- bis best to elect Mr. Bryan, and maintain tho principles for which Mr. Bryan stood thin, and for which he stands! now. "It is uns Ise for anybody to prophesy how Wisconsin, 'will vote this year on the Presidency.

I 'believe, however, that the Issues are deflnrid with sufficient clearness to give the Democratic candidates on the (electoral ticket eveiy material advantage and perhaps to Justify the belief that the 'nto may be carried, (for Judge Parker."

During the roldrr weather of October there were practically no cases of berl bcrl. Infantry Began Active Fighting.

During the morning of the 19th the siege guns opened a desultory tire to find tbe rangea and an entire division of Infantry advanced and assaulted the Russian redoubts at tho foot of Rihlung Mountain. The troops captured the tremhes In front of tho redoubts. The operations begun In earnest nt daybreak and on the iOth with a bombardment or the whole line of Russian forts. Uaitery after battery of Japanese artillery was unmasked, the Russians apparently being unable to locate them, for they replied I'nder cover of the bombardment the Japanese Infantry made a determined general advance against the Russians' lirst trenches, along the railroad in the renter of the Shuishi Valley, and also on the lines in the valley between I he east and west of Shuishi Village. Six hundred yards south of the village the way Into Ihe city was protected by four advanco halt-moon forts, in the form of a hollow square, open nt the rear ami connected by bomb-proof trenches and having a twenty-foot moat in front.

A desperate attempt was made by the Japanese during the afternoon to capture the Bti-otigest half-moon fort. The Infantry charged, cut the entagletnents. crossed the moat with scaling ladders, stormed the fort ana drove the Hussians back. But the real strength of their position lay In tho bomb proof trenches, extending south of ihe other half-moon forts. They were filled with troops and concealed machine guns, which poured a deadly hail of bullets Into ihe Japanese and forced them to retire.

At about the same time the Russians recaptured the trenches In front of the redoubt In advance ot tho Rihlung fort. On (he right flank the Russian line was forced back. One Japanese regiment worked up the east slope and another regiment made lis way up lo the west slope of 174 yarns hill, under the concentrated fire of the Russian artillery and captured ihe fort nt the point of the bayonet nt noon. The fort and hill were strongly supported by bomb proof trenches, loopholed and with sand bag walls, and were armed with two 4-Inch guns, beside other guns. The Japanese captured live Held guns and four machine guns.

Their casual ties were 1,400. Throe hundred and fifty Russlnn dead were left In the position. At 4 o'clock In (ho afternoon, during the bombardment, a fort on (ho ridge east of Keekwan fort was struck by a Japanese shell and burst Into flnmes, and the Russians who had garrisoned It retired bock of the Chinese wall in the rear. During the evening a division on the Japanese left flank cut (ho entanglements on the slope east of Keekwan fort hill and before dawn on the illst a center division of the Japanese gained the foot of east Panlting fort, called by ihe Japanese East Banjusal fort, and tried to cut the entanglements, but the i roups were repulsed. THIS IS MIKADO'S BIRTHDAY.

Emperor of Japan Deplores War Luncheon Given for Foreign ft. at Toklo, November 3 Upon the occasion of his birthday, at luncheon to-day, the Emperor briefly addressed his guests, extending welcome to the foreign diplomatic corps and ministers of state. During tho course of his remarks he said: "We regret that the time has not come to see peace restored In the Far East in realization of our desires." He then proposed the health of the sovereigns and rulers represented at his court and expressed the wish that tho bonds ot friendship existing between the respective countries might be drawn closer. Uaron d'Anethan. tho Belgian minister, doyen of the diplomatic corps, responded' congratulating Ihe Emperor on Ihe day and expressing regret at the continuance of tho war.

Continuing. Baron d'Anethan said: "We again exprrss our wishes for peace and do so with more fervor when we contemplate wllh profound emotion the ravages already caused In suffering families and the thousands ot noble victims on each side in the armies In the field, struggling and shedding their blood wilh a bravery that ises to (he height of a sublime and indomitable heroism." Japan is enjoying a holiday. Ordinarily the people Idolize their sovereign, but the war seems to have increased their affection. The celebration was observed throughout tho empire. The cities were decorated and patriotic exercises were held.

In Toklo Ihe Emperor reviewed (he fleet and the imperial guards division and gave a luncheon at Ihe palace for tho higher officials and foreign diplomats. The military review was held at Aoyama Field, where the troops began arriving early this morning. The Kmperor drove through the city In a handsome red state coach. Leaving the palace shortly at(er 8 o'clock he reached the field nt and alighting from his carriage mounted a hlHek charter. He was accompanied by a numerous staff, which included the Crown Prince and Lieutenant (ien.

Kir Win. Nicholson (director general of military intelligence of the llrltli-h war office, attached to the Japanese army during the war). The Emperor rode round the field. Only a buihI1 portion of the troops assembled 1 marched past, the remainder holding their "i me troops uhieh mnrehen nRt ineliirled Ihren a or Infantry, sixty leiti guns and a regiment of cavalry, totaling 8.0ii't troops. They wore the field uniform and carried a full kit.

Including Intrenching tools, presenting an Impressive appearance (n the bright sunshine. Thousands of tho populace walked around Ihe field. After the review the crowd broke Into the field and gave the ICuunaror and frown Prince an ovation. r.AIM.T. I'OSTAI.

DISCOVERED LUCKILY IN TIME. Engines Were Called to Put Out Blazing Partitions Police Not Too Active In tbe Hatter. What seems lo be another attempt on ihe part of an Incendiary or some imbecile who has mania for setting fires In the cellars of apartment house, in (he neighborhood of Sixth avenue, between Third and Fifth s(r-ei-t i-urred this morning In the basement of the four etory apartment house at 41S Third street, on ihe southeast corner of Sixth avenue.

Luckily, the blaze was discovered before it eould make much headway and was put out wilh Utile damage to tbe building, but the fire started In smh a suspicious manner and In such a good place for destroying the house, that the police are now waking up to the fact ihat somebody is making a business of set i ing these fires. The blaze started In a barrel filled with paper In a little alley lieten the bins on ihe Sixth avenue side and ixaeily opposite Is the dumbwaiter shaft Then- is a window near here the barrel was situated and It was open. Another window was also open at the rear of the cellnr. so that there was an excellent draft and still a bettor draft up the dumbwaiter shaft. The wo.l partitions of the bins on eidior aide of the bar- re! were burned slightly, which goes lo prove thut It wouldn't have required very much more for Ihe fire to spread all over the cellar.

There is a furnace in Ihe cellar, but a bin separates It from the i-put where the barrel was placed, so that there was hardly any I possibility that the blaze started from Ihe furnace. The hot ashes theory was ready to be pounced upon by tho police, hut there were no ashes iu this barrel this morning. Near the barrel was a small box of excel-inr and this also look fire. lxuls Uevita. the Kalian janitor ot tbe building, says be discovered the fire, lie happened to go Into Ihe cellar lo see if the furnace was working all right and he suw the blaze.

The smoke was pouring tbrouab the house and the tour families were al- i ready aroused. Mrs. (lilmore, employed In Pullman's real estate ollee, on Ihe opposite I corner, called up Fire Headquarters on the i 'phone and the engines were dispatched to the sceue. The barrel was dragged to the street anil a line of hose was run into the cellar and the blaze on Ihe partitions of the bins was put out. As soon as tbe patrolman on post arrived at the Fifth avenue station wilh the news, Captain Reynolds immediately sent out Detective O'Grudy lo investigate.

The captalu has been keeping a watch on the neighborhood since tin? Eagle drew attention to the many small fires in cellurs In that vicinity. The fire that partially destroyed the op.iri-ment house on Sixth avenue, between Fourth and Filth streets, quite recently, is still fresh In Ihe minds of the people living around there, and two duvs afler that hlaze another suspicious fire iu a lin ked bin in I tin apartment house across the way threw every family In that block into a panic. That they are badly frightened by this last attempt this morning Is no joke and there Is scarcely a family who hasn't got all of their valuables packed up ready to run on tbe slightest alarm. In the house at Third street, Or. John Mortimer Taylor occupies the first apartment.

Over him Is the Higenbothum lamlly. On the third floor, M. Augustus Ohly. and on Ihe top, C. D.

Atwood. The house Is one of the best in the row between Sixth and Seventh avenues, and good rentals are obtained for the apartments. Captain Reynolds said (his morning that he hasn't yet made up his jnlnd that an Ineendiury is at work. He believes the fires In cellars are caused accident. go Into the cellars In Ihe early morning and use matches to find their empty bottles, he says, and nine times out of Ien they throw the ninieh slicks down without caring where they rail.

The tire thla morning happened, however, about o'clock and lennnls Ihiuk Is Ihe plainest cose of a set lire Ihat ever burned a bin. It is no exaggeration to say that every family on Sixth avenue between Third and Fifth streets Is mortally afraid that its inem-hers will hove to run tor (heir lives from fire, either In brood dnvlleht. or worse, at night. A fire at night in one of those apartment houses is not a thing to be spoken iignuy ot, because the tenants say that if it begins in the cellar It Is some lime before anything is known about It, and when the alarm Is sounded escape by the stairway is cut olT, and II Is then a mailer of getting through the windows and over the roof. This l.i about the fourth suspicions lire within a few weeks In those two blocks and every family Is simply panic stricken, li onlv re quires Ihe slightest noise In the cellar these days to cause rush for the dumbwaiter shaft lo look for fire and ftmoke, and life lu becoming exceedingly strenuous.

Heavy rain Impeded', all the movements and early darkness stopped the artillery fire. When the Infantry closed In on Taku Mountain, where they haJ previously silenced the Russian guns, tkje Russians opened a heavy rifle fire frnfl the crests of the hills snd compelled th'l Japanese attacking force to build trenrlls for their protection from north to easa close to the foot of the bill slopes.

Desperate Hand-to-Hand Encounters.

Russian torpedo gunboats appeared off the coast near! Saltpark village, and bombarded a Japanesl regiment on the south slope, so that. It haj to retire. Tho fleet finally was compelled), to retire under the fire of the howitzer nstterles. Then a general bombardment began and all fire from Taku and sahku Mountains was stopped. Eight Japanese regiments from the southeast part of Port Arthur and one from the northwest section gained a foothold on the crests ot Taku Mountain and, after a desperate hand-to-hand encounter, compelled the Russians to retire westward into their permanent forts.

Four field guns were captured. The Japanese regiments then combined for an attack on Shahku Mountain, but were repulsed and compelled to spend the night in their trenches at the foot ot the hills. At 4 In tl5 morning and th' hills wer the attack was renewed ere captured. The Russians left hundreds of dead on their abandoned position The Japanese casualties were 1,400. Thoufih the Japanese were unable to per manently occupy the captured hills they robbei the Russians of invaluable observation itoints.

This enabled the investing lino to be drawn from the coast between the two hills Ifand the eastern fortified ridges. Attention was then turned to the Russian left flank. Two Japanese brigades were ordered to advance. They started in the night, a line two miles in length. At 2 in (he morning a heavy rain greatly Impeded their progress, but they reached the Russian! entanglements under heavy fire.

A quaiter-incb steel wire compelled the plorieers to cut the poles to open the way. The) position was captured at 4 in the morning- of August 14, a Russian counter-attack being repulsed. A heavy Japanese bom- baKument ot tne Russian advance works, on a low hill north of 174 Yards Hill, finally conipelled the fire to slacken. A night attack was made on the Russian advance works. The Japanese reached the outer entanglements, but were then re-ptllsed.

Starlight shells located the Jap-ewe lines, on which searchlights were thrown, after which the Russian machine guns played havoc all night with the Japanese troops In trenches on the hillside. Finally a Concentrated fire from Else Mountain and the advance forts compelled tho Japanese to cease Real Siege Began on August 15. It was announced at the Japanese headquarters on August 15 that the siege guns would be in position and ready to begin a bombardment on August 20. The headquarters on August 18 were in the village of Swangtalkow, close to the railroad and thirteen miles north of Port Arthur. New arrivals there were welcomed by General Nogl, who said their arrival was opportune and that they were just In time to see the conclusion of a successful cnmpalgn and I he capture of Port Arthur.

The correspondent went to the front on the morning of tho 19th and saw the positions from the highest peak of Fenghoang Mountain, at a range of five miles from Port Arthur and two miles west of the railroad. It was evident that a general attack had been planned. The railroad to Port Dalny was taxed to Its capacity in bringing troops, siege guns, ammunition and supplies to the front and the roads worn crowded with marching troops and transport. Great activity prevailed everywhere in the Japanese lines. A good view of the operations could bo obtained on the right front.

Of Port Arthur, cradled among the hills, only the outskirts were visible, backed by the beetling brow of the Tiger's Tall Peninsula, further south, to tho right, towering the jagged ridge of the I.iaotean Mountains. In the foreground and further west were the Chair Hills, their peculiar outlines clearly defined. Sweeping round further to the right was peak on peak of a lofty range of hills, extending from Port Arthur to the shores ot Louisa Hay. The highest, peaks were respectively 174 and 203 yards high. The hills wore crowned with advance forts.

In the nearer distance was the Hhulshl Valley wllh Its green, waving Chinese corn, forming level ground dividing: the positions of tho Japa ncse left flank, right ami center, The Keys to Russian Defense.
