EARTH JREMBLED.
A Terrific Bombardment on the
Forts at Port Arthur by
the Japanese.
THEIR LOSSES WERE YERy HEAVY
The Indications Are That the Final
and Successful Engagement is
About to Commence.
Many Experts Do Not Expect a Decl-
6ive Engagement Near Mukden
, Before Spring Foreign At
taches Returning Home.
London, Nov. 4. The Dally Tele
igraph's Che Foo correspondent, tele
graphing Thursday, says that the Jap
anese losses during the last assault
on Port Arthur were heavier than on
;any of the previous attacks. The
.bombardment, he says, was so fierce
ithat the streets of Dalny were said to
'tremble as though from an earthquake.
The same paper's correspondent with
Gen. Oku, under date of November 2,
says that tho indications arc that a
terrific engagement is about to com
mence. Berlin, Nov. 4. The Lokal Anzel
ger's Mukden correspondent claims
the most trustworthy authority for the
statement that 34,000 sick or wounded
Russian soldiers were sent away after
the last engagement.
Col. Gaedke, the Tageblatt's corre
spondent with the Russian army, tele
graphs that the Russian positions on
the Shakhe river are daily becoming
stronger in spite of the proximity of
the opposing army. The possibility
of a Japanese attack, Col. Gaedke
adds, is constantly diminishing and
many experts do not expect that there
will be a decisive engagement before
spring. The two Spanish attaches are
returning home, and others probably
will follow soon.
Che Foo, Nov. 3. Port Arthnr is
doomed. A press correspondent here
has received information, the reliabil
ity of which is beyond question, that
the Japanese now occupy positions
which place the east side of the town
at their mercy. The last assault has
gained for them positions which in
sure their ability to enter the main
east forts whenever they are ready.
Long before the Seqond Pacific squad
ron arrives the Japanese flag will
wave over the wrecked citadel. This
will end Viceroy Alexieff's dream of
nn unconquerable city.

kio to the Italia Mllltalre repeats the

YOUNG GIRL MURDERED.
She Was On Her Way Home From
Her Work.
Cincinnati, Nov. 4. Almost an ex
act counterpart of the Lulu Mueller
murder In Lover's lane, Cummlnsvllle,
was reported to the police early Thurs
day. Terribly cut and crushed about
the head, the dead body of Alma
Stelnlgeweg, 18, of McMakln avenue,
WInton Place, was found Thursday
morning at the foot of WInton road,
between Spring Grove avenue and Mill
creek.
Positive evidence that a brutal mur
der, possibly more shocking than that
of Lulu Mueller, had been committed,
was adduced as soon as Coroner Wea
ver arrived and the body was turned
over.
Down the back of the young victim
were unmistakable evidences that she
had been dragged, thus disposing of
tho possibility that she had Sten
struck by a street car. From the mid
dle of the track a trail of blood, which
had dripped from frightful wounds In
the head, led to the spot where the
body lay.
Thero were two significant things
discovered. Tho first was that her
raiment was disarranged, as though
In a desperate struggle for life or
honor. Tho second, discovered by
painstaking and almost microscopic
search of every Inch of the ground
where the body was found, was a safe
ty pin of tho sort usually worn by
women. This was crushed Into the
ground by a boot heel, of which the
Imprint was very easily discernible.

BUFFALO BILL.
He and His Party Will Not Join In
the Man Hunt.
Thermopolls, Wyo., Nov. 4. Sheriff
Fenton, of Big Horn county, oame In
Thursday night from the chase after
the outlaws who attempted to rob the
First national bank of Cody and killed
Cashier Mlddaugh on Tuesday last.
He had a conference with Sheriff
Stough, of Fremont county, and tho
two officers left again Friday morn
ing for the Bad Lands In the vicinity
of Tarby creek, east of the Big Horn
river, where Fenton believes he has
the outlaws surrounded. The officers
will endeavor to prevent the robbers
from penetrating the Interior of tho
Bad Lands, for once inside their cap
ture would become an extremely haz
ardous task.
The fact developed Thursday that
the outlaws after leaving Cody Tues
day evening traveled over the main
county road to within four miles of
this place, then made a detour to tho
southwest and entered the main road
again six miles out. They have since
been traveling by main roads. This
boldness on the robbers' part can not
bo accounted for.
A special from Cody says that Wil
liam F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) will not
3oln the man hunt. He will leave Fri
day with his English and other guests
for a hunt in tho wilds northwest of
Cody.
The reward for the bandits, dead or
alive, has been increased to $10,000.
Tho sum has been made up by Col.
Cody, the citizens of the state, banks
of the state and other concerns and
will probably be increased in a day
or two.

concerned the fees are reduced to
from eight cents to 50 cents, whereas
formerly they were from ten cents to
one dollar. Tho money order busi
ness with Austro-Hungary Is said to

THE AIRSHIP FOUND
The Escaped California Arrow
Landed About 10 Miles
West of St. Louis.
IT WAS ONLY SLIGHTLY DAMAGED,

Gas liner Which Can lie Ile-
naired in an Hour.
Machine Was Loaded on a Hay Wag
on and Taken Back to St. Louis
and Will Be Prepared For a
Flight Saturday.
St Louis, Nov. 4. The airship of
Capt. T. S. Baldwin, which suddenly
slipped away Wednesday night as it
was being towed in from the country
to the aeronautic concourse, was found
Thursday 16 miles west of St. Louis.
It was unharmed by Its wild night
flight, save for two .small rents in the
gas bag, which Capt. Baldwin stated
could be repaired in half an hour.
When the "Arrow" escaped there
was just enough gas to lift the craft
well off the ground. Inventor Baldwin
expressed his belief at the timo that
the cold night air would condense tho
gas rapidly and cause the airship to
come down in the vicinity of St. Louis.
After floating in the wind for 10 miles
the airship cam down to within a
short distance of the ground and her
anchor ropes became entangled in tho
dead limb of a tree. This served as
an anchor and the airship was found
so moored In a cornfield by farmers.
Word reached Baldwin late in the
day that his airship had been found.
He and Aeronaut Knabenshue hurried
to the scene In an automobile, and
were rejoiced to find the aerial craft
uninjured with the exception of two
small tears in the balloon.
The balloon was deflated and after
negotiations had been completed with
a farmer the collapsed airship was
loaded on to a hay wagon and brought
back to the exposition aerodrome.
Capt. Baldwin stated Thursday
night that he expected to have the air
ship in readiness for a flight by Sat
urday afternoon.
