Latest War News.
St. Petersburg, Oet. '-'o'.-The quiet
now prevailing at the theatre o? war is
considered tu bo only the calm bofore a
storm. There is every indication of
the imminence of thu resumption of
lighting on a large Beale UH the prox
imity of tho two armies make it impos
sible for them to much longer deter a
rouowal of tho battle.
Mukden, Manchuria, October 27.
Tho artillery light began on the night
of October 2(5, on the north shore of
tho Shnkho Iriver, directly south of
Mukden. The cannonading, which
was heavy, was continued today, the
Russians attacking the Japaneso un
successfully. The fighting, it is be
lieved, will continue up to the walls of
if ukden.
The artillery tiring on the Rnssian
loft which began yesterday and lusted
during the night has spreud south.
The weather has ngaiu cleared up
and is much better for active opera
tions. Suspicious movements o {^Japa
nese have been observed west of the
railroad. The Chinese say positively
that the Japanese aro preparing to
turn tho Russian right or break
through a vulnerable point of tho
lines.
'l ho Japanese have advanced to tho
village of Jerdagan, which they are
reported to have captured after a fight
lusting until this morning.
Tokio, Oct. 28.-It is reported that
tho Japanese opened a desperate at
tack on the eastern iron ts of the Keek
wan group, north of Port Arthur, dur
iug the morning of October 2b*, and si
lenced the Russian batteries. A shell
exploded the Kussian magazines.
Simultaneously the Japanese attack
ed tho forts on Hihiung mountain and
Sunghohowian mountain, silenced tho
Russian bntterieB and stormed and oc
cupied the forts in front of these moun
tains.
On the night of October 20 there was
a conllagratian in Old Port Arthur,
and October 27 a shell hit the Russian
battleship Sevastopol and two Russian
steamers were sunk.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 29.-General
Sakarofi' reports that there waa no
general fighting yesterday. There was
an occasional cannonading along the
whole iront but the Japanese tire was
inefficient and the RuBBian casualties
were insignificant.
The night of October 28th and'29th
were quiet. The general staff today
issued a statement that the number of
killed, wounded and missing in the
fighting which took place between Oc
tober Oth and 18th. aggregated 800 elli
ce io and -15,000 men.
Chefoo. October 80.-The third gen
eral attack otf Port Arthur began Oc
tober ?4*<a~cebgaing to unimpeachable
On "yetobor "20 Japanese ?holla set
fire to ?he otaly Smokeless powder
niaguzizeun Cort-.-Arthur. Portions of
tho town caught ike/ttte conflagration
continuing tho whole liiiy. On October
20th the Japanese -Captured the RUB
Bian trenches on the al^pe of Rihlung
mountain, also a fortified position
protecting that fortress.
The Japanese consider the progress
of the siege to be highly satisfactory.
Che foo, October 31:-The general as
sault on Poet; Arthur, which began in
a preliminary way October 24, develop
ed into a fiercely raging battle yester
day, when, according'to a hitherto in
fallible authority, the Japanese flung
heavy forces against the fortress in
third attempt to secure a commanding
position.
Tho Japanese have been preparing
for this assault for a month. It is be
lieved that the Japanese did not ex
pect to capture the town on this occa
sion, but to accomplish another for
ward step. This plan waa adopted,
following the first assault, when thous
ands of lives were sacrificed in an at
tempt to swarm over the fortifications,
by a mere force of numbers, regard
less of loss.
This assault, like the previous one,
was a climatic mcjdent of weary weeks
of trench digging, gun mounting and
small engagements. In the opinion of
experts, the assault will cease when the
Japanese have secured such positions
aa will enable them to creep steadily
closer under the coses of the Russian
guns. It is believed that two more
?;eneral assaults will be necessary bo
oro the distance between the belliger
ent linea is sufficiently shortened to
make an attempt to enter the main
forts and make the end of the siege
practicable.
Marvellous Corn Crop.
Our corn orop of this year, if mass
ed together, would cover sixty acres
of ground to the depth of nearly six
teen hundred feet-a veritable moun
tain of corn over a third of a mile
high. If divided equally among the
population of the earth it would give
each person nearly two bushels. One
practical result of the enormous corn
crop ought to be a material reduction
in the price of beef for home consump
tion, since it is the crop on whioh
beef oattle are chiefly fed. Ic many
parts of the West the harvest has
been abundant bat io Oklahoma, es
pecially, farmers this year are boastful
of their corn crop. Favorable cli
matic conditions? produced a record
breaking yield. In many instanoes
the oars and stalks are of suoh un
usual size as to be veritable curiosi
ties. In a field owned by Walter
Mathews, a farmer near the town of
Mulhall, in Logan County, an eleven
year-old boy weighing eighty pounds
olimbed a stalk to a height of four feet,
without its bending with him. The
stalk was strongly rooted, and about
sixteen fee* high. While the growth
in Oklahoma was exceptional, no trav
eller through the West this fall could
fail to be impressed with the vastness
of the oom area and the immensity of
the crop.-Leslie's Weekly. j
- Col. D. B. Dyer, of Augusta,
Ga., has presented his collection of
Indian relics, valued at $200,000 to
the pnblio library at Kansas City. It
is the best collection in the world,
comprising something over 12,000
anieles.
