LIAO YANG. Aug. 22.—The follow
ing Is supplied by a Russian corre
spondent of the Associated Press:
“With each additional report from
Port Arthur wonder Increases both at
the persistence of the Japanese attack
and the heroic stubbornness of the
defenders of the fort.* The Japanese
are literally throwing away thousands
of lives In the hope of shaking the
courage of the Russian troops. MnJ.-
Gen. Fock says he is confident the
fortress cannot be taken, but that If it
is taken the whole Japanese army will
have to Immolate itself on the fortifi
cations. There were five desperate as
saults on Green Hills July 26. the Jap
anese returning each time with appar
ently luexhauntlble % reinforcements. On
the Anal assault, however, the Japanese
broke badly, throwing away their guns,
cartridges, belts nnd even their boots
to facilitate their flight, nnd leaving
7,000 dend or wounded. Our surgeons
worked heroically nnd Impartially. The
Japanese were so touched that they
tearfully thanked the Russian sur
geons. The assault on Green Hills was
repeated on July 27, and there were
frequent hnnd-to-hand encounters, the
Russians leaving the trenches tp fol
low their enemies* The assaults of
July 28 nnd 29 on the Wolf Hills were
not followed up, the Japanese being too
severely shaken. We evacuated Wolf
Hills chiefly for strategic reasons, ns
the hills made the line of defenses too
long to effectually withstand the fu-
Houg attacks of the Japanese. The as
sault of July 30 was made In the dark
of night In the hope of surprising the
Russians. Sixty thousand men were
hurled ngalnst our thirteen thousnnd.
hut we drbve them hack again and
again at the point of the'bayonet. It
was another Bhipka pass. The Jap
anese poured In fresh battalions and
the slopes, covered with the dead and
dying, literally ran with blood. Our
Thirteenth regiment was forced from
its position, but the Fourteenth regi
ment came up and* with the 'bayonet
again dislodged the victors. As near
as can be ascertained these nssaultti
cost the Japanese ten thousand men.
The Japanese losses since the selge
began have been 28,000 men. The ex
plosion of one mine wiped out five
hundred. This wns an awful sight.
A volcano of stones dismembered the
bodies of the soldiers while the sky
was lit up with a purple glare and the
mud walls of the Chinese village were
thrown down by the shock. After this
flght General Btoessel collected twenty
thousand Jnpanese rifles.
•The Japanese Installed twenty
siege guns on the Wolf Hills, August
8. Four of these are 12-inch guns.
They have not yet reached our shore
batteries, which are still out or range,
hut they have damaged the dry dock
nnd the railway station. The Japan
ese are mapping the town hy sections
for the purpose of bombarding. The
Japanese fire an average of eight hun
dred shells daily and they keep up the

CHICAGO. Aug. 22.—Chicago meat
packers today asked for an Injunction
preventing the city of Chicago from
interferrlng with the housing of em
ployees in the stock yards plants dur
ing the continuance of the Butchers'
strike. The injunction was asked in
the name of the Hammond Packing
Compafly, and it Instated that the com
panys were violating no law and were
acting entirely within their rights. No
decision was reached.
The packers have issued an official
statement, defining their position in the
stock yards contention and declare that
they wll not enter into apy agreement
1th the atrikng butchers workmen. In
reviewing he causes leading upto the
strike, the packers point out thnt they
offered to submit the entire matter to
arbitration and that their offer was
refused.
Prnctlcally every striker at the stock
yards went on duty at a picket today,
all working under thoroughly organised
plana. Each squad has a specific ter
ritory and each man has a apeclflc por
tion of a division.
A largely increased number of po
licemen were assigned to the packing
house district today by the chief of
police. Colored ministers and members
of colored organizations were reported
today to be making a secret Investiga
tion of conditions in the packing plants
with a» view to urging members of the
race to quit work should condltons ex
isting there prove true. ‘‘These col
ored preachers." said John Floersch,
one of the strike leaders, “are following
the lead of the Greeks, whose priests
are urging all Greeks to quit.”

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH.
Hyomel Goes to the Root of the Disease
and Makes Astonishing Cures.
Catarrh cannot be cured by the use
of pills, liquid medicines and so-called
system tonics. Under such treatment
the germs of the disease will still live
In the air passages and Increase and
multiply.
Hyomel ,1a the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh. Killing
the germs In the air passages, It en-
tern the blood with the oxygen, de-
atroys the microbes In the blood and
effectually drives from the syatem all
traces of catarrhal poison.
Thousands of testimonials have been
given as to the astonishing cures made
bv this remedy. J. 8. Nugent, treas
urer of the American Union Life In
surance Co., of New York city, writes
"Hyomel has completely cured
daughter of cafarrh, from which she
has been suffering for years.”
Probably the strongest evidence
that can be offered as to the powers
of Hyomel to cure catarrh is the fact
that Mallory K. Taylor will agree to
refund the money If you aay Hyomel
has not cured you.
The complete Hyomel outfit costa
but 81.60 and consists of in Inhaler
that can be carried In the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper and a bottle
Hycmei. The Inhaler lasts a lifetime,
and if one bottle does not cure, an ex
tra bottle of Hyomel can be obtained
for 50 cents.
Now is a good time to cure your
catarrh.

ST. PETERSBURG, August 22.— 1 The

Stopped British 8teamer.
DURHAM. Natal. Aug. 22.—The
British steamer Comedian, from Liv
erpool July 24. arrived here today and
reported that she wa* stopped yester
day by a Russian converted cruiser,
cold to be the Smolensk, off the mouth
of Bashee river. In the southeastern
port of*Cape Colony. After the Com
edian's papers had been examined she
was allowed to proceed.
LONDON, Aug. 29.—The news that
the Russian volunteer fleet steamer
Smolensk Is again stopping British
vessels leads the London newspapers
to question the assurances which Pre
mier Balfour announced had been given
by the Russian government that the 8t,
Petersburg and 8mo!ensk would no
longer be utilized aa cruisers. Accord
ing to a dispatch from Durham. Na
tal. the Smolensk was supposed to be
watching for the British steamer Orm-
ley. which left New York on July 9.
txmnd for Fusan with a cargo of rail
way material. The Ormley left Dur
ham August* 20, Just before the Come
dian was stopped, and so escaped.
The Death Penalty.
A little thing sometimes results In
death. Thus a mere scratch. Insignifi
cant cuts or puny bolls have paid the
death penalty. It Is wise to have Buck-
Jen's Arnica Salve ever handy. It's the
best Salve on earth, nnd will prevent
fatality, when Burns. Sores. Ulcers and
Piles threaten. Only 25c. nil druggists.
Chattanooga Miners May Strike.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.. Aug. 22.—
A big strike of all the union miners
employed In this district is looked for,
according to the statement of J. T.
Hill of this city, one of the leading op
era tors.
“First, a reduction of 15 per cer|. on
the mining rate, 15 per cent, on the
dny labor scale and 10 per cent, on
dend work.
“Second, general conditions to re
main as heretofore, grievances of in
dlvldunl mines to he considered by
scale committee.”
The miners have submitted the fol
lowing proposition. A renewal of last
year’s contract, with * the following
changes.
First, eight hours in lieu of nine
hours shall constitute a day's work,
nnd the nine hour rate to be paid for
eight hours.
Second, a straight run of mine basis
in lieu of the double system i
vogue.
Third, local conditions to be taken up
for consideration nnd adjustment.
This strike, together with the one
on the Alabama district, would prac
tically tie up soft coal mining.
No Substitute Offered.
Bay what you will about druggists
offering something “Just ns good.” be
cause it rays a better profit, the fact
stands that 99 out of a hundred
druggists recommend Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rrmedv
when the beat remedy for diarrhoea Is
asked for. and do ao because they know
It Is the one remedy thnt can always he
depended upon, even In the most se
vere and dangerous cases. Sold by all

Cleveland Ross and Nat Foster, two
young men of Bibb county, who live
on the Columbus road, not far from
Macon, were brought before United
States Commissioner L. M. Erwin
yesterday, tried and bound over fqr
hearing before the Federal grand
Jury on a charge of breaking down
rural mall boxes. United States Dep
uty Marshal Dave Riley arrested the
young men and was in charge of them
at the trial.
Several of the friends of the two ac
cused men were present and testified
at the hearing. It was charged at the
trial that the two young men had been
in a drunken state and went on a gen
eral raid In the neighborhood one night
when the mall boxes were torn down
along the road from Macon for quite
a distance. Thl* was charged to both
young men, and Commissioner Erwin
bound them over on the evidence un
der bonds of 9100 each.
At a late hour yesterday evening the
bonds were not made and the two
young men remained In Bibb county

when on a visit to Blola with her hus
band. the Dauphin of France, ns It has
the name of a celebrated Blols manu
facturer engraved on.lt.
The entire skull is curiously en
graved. On the forehead there Is a
picture of Death, with the usual scythe
and hour glnsa and sand glass. He Is
depicted as standing between a palace
and a hovel, to show thnt he Is no re
specter of persons, nnd underneath Is
the familiar quotation from Horace,
Pallida mors aequo pulsat pede pnu-
porum tabernas Kegumque turres.” At
the back of the skull Is another repre
sentation, thl* being of Time devour
ing everything. Time nl*o carrion a
scythe, nnd tfealde him Is the emblem
of eternity—the serpent with Its tall In
Its mouth. • ,
The upper section of the skull In di
vided Into two pictures. On one ntde
Is the crucifixion, with the Marys
kneeling nt the foot of the crons, snd
on the other side are Adam nnd Eye
surrounded by animals In the Garden
of Eden.
Below these pictures, running right
round the skull, there Is an openwork
bend, to allow the sound of tho strik
ing of the, watch to be heard. The
openwork Is a serlea of designs cut to
represent the various emblems of the
crucifixion, such ns scourges, the cross,
svords, spears, the lantern used In the
garden, and so forth. All of the carv
ings have appropriate Latin quota
tions. •
By reversing the skull and holding
the upper part In the palm of the hand
and lifting the under Jaw on Its hinges
the watch may be opened, nnd on the
plate Inside In a represent*Ion of the
ntsble at Bethlehem, with the nhep
herds snd their flocks In the distance.
The work* of the watch are In the
brains of the .skulk the dial plate bo-
Ing where the roof of the mouth would
be In a real skull. This Is of silver
gold, with elaborate scrolls, while the
hours are marked In large Roman let
ters. The works are remarkably com
plete even to a* large silver bell with a
musical sound, which holds the works
In the skull when the watch Is closed.
This curious old watch Is still In per
fect order and when wound every dny
keep* accurate time. It la too large to
be worn and was probably Intended
for a desk or private altar.—Kansas

Ruskin and Americans.
I, a second time (lest the first Im
pression should have been too weak),
was fated to come from Venice to Ve
rona with an American family—father
and mother and two girls—presumably
rich girls—girls 15 and 18. I never be
fore conceived the misery of wretches
who had spent nil their lives In trying |
to gratify themselves. It wns a little |
warm— wnrmer than was entirely lux- |
urlous—hut nothing In the least harm
ful. They moaned and fidgeted nnd
frowned and puffed and stretched nnd
fanned, nnd ate lemons, and smelt bot
tles, nnd covered their face*, and tore
the cover off again, nnd had no one
thought or feeling during five hours
of traveling in the most noble part of
the world, except what four poor
beasts would hnve had In their end In
a menagerie, being dragged about on
a Jiot day. Add to this misery every
form of polite vulgnrlty In methods of
doing nnd saying the common things
they said and did. I never yet saw hu-
mnnlty no degrnded (allowing for ex
ternal circumstances of every possible
udvantnge). Given wealth, attainable
education, nnd the Inheritance of
