Stoesscl the war office ex presses entire confidence that Port Ar thur will be able to hold out till the ar rival of the Russian second Pacific squadron. Situation Critical. WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—Consul General Fowler today cabled the state department from Che Foo that the sit uation at Port Arthur Is extremely critical, the outer forts having fallen Into the possession of the Japanese. He also states that three Japanese torpe do boat destroyers are lying outside of Che Foo harbor and that the Russian crew of the torpedo boat destroyer de stroyed yesterday are transferring their arms and supplies to a Chinese cruls- vhlch Is posted In front of the Rus sian consulate. Stoessel's Wound. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 17, 2:15 a. m.—Rejoicing over the undaunted spir it displayed by Gen. Stoessel In his tel egram of congratulation to Emperor Nicholas on the anniversary of his ac cession to the throne and officially an nouncing the failure of General No- gl’s nine day attempt to present Port Arthur to the mikado as a birthday gift, is tempered by private Informa tion that the gallant commander of the garrison has been wounded. General Btoessel was struck In the head by a splinter from a shell while he was per sonally directing,the repulse of a par ticularly desperate assault, but fortu nately the wound Is not serious and Gen. Stoessel has not been obliged to relinquish command. Not So Bad. Other Information sent by General Stoessel which has not been divulged for strategic reasons. It is stated by the war office, is by no means unfavorable. While the garrison Is now hemmed In In the citadel Itself, not onq of tho main forts has been taken. The gar rison has been provisioned, fresh am munition has arrived and Gen. Stoessel expressed confidence that the defense can bo successfully maintained till the arrival of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky’s second Pacific squadron. The report that the armored cruiser Grombol had been injured at Vladivo stok Is confirmed. Tho vessel ground ed ns she was returning to the harbor from a trial trip nfter tho repair of the Injuries received In the fight with Ad miral Kamlmura’s squadron, but at the admiralty tho injuries arc said to be slight. HAD EXCITEMENT AT HORSE SHOW Mayor ll’Clellan’s Fatlier- in-Law Injured ANIMAL TRAMPLED HIM AGREEMENT IS TO RE REACHED No Cause for Alarm Regard ing North Sea Affair SITUATION EXPLAINED Something Significant. LONDON, Nov. 17.—The fact that the Russian torpedo boat destroyer Rastoropny, which arrived at Che Foo Wednesday, left Port Arthur much later than the date of Gen. Stoessel's published report, which relates noth ing later than November 3, Is regarded ns significant. Apparently, however, Toklo has not yet received ns late news as Is contained in the report of American Consul-General Fowler, at Cho Foo, which was transmitted to the state department at Washington on Wednesday. Special dispatches from Tien Tsln report a heavy bombardment of Port Arthur as late as November 12 and nightly sorties by small parties of Russians who lose heavily by bayonet fights. These reports give no reliable details, but concur In statements that guns are wearing out and that the Russian ammunition is becoming scarce. The Dally Telegraph’s Tlent Tsln correspondent says ho has received a report that the Japanese have sud denly advanced In the direction of Mukden, from which place they arc now only twelve miles distant. ASPHYXIATED BY GAS WERE FOUR They Met Death In Quick Succession FOUND BY A VISITOR Fighting Nightly. CHE FOO, Nov. 17. 9:30 p. nw Fighting at Port Arthur has taken place nightly since the Japanese began their general assault on October 2fith, according to Captain Ronberg, a pilot, who was a passenger on the Russian torpeMo boat destroyer Rastoropny. The Japanese trenches, the captain says, arc close to the forts on Rlhlung nnd Keekwan mountains and to other forts on the northeastern group. The sharp shooters of both sides oc cupying the pits converse with each other and frequently make Individual truces in order to borrow cigarettes or to relieve their cramped limbs. The Japanese are displaying great energy In the construction of trenches and the mounting of guns. Sunk by Jap Shells. All the railroad steamers belonging to the Russians, except the steel screw transport Amur, have been sunk by Japanese shells. The hospital ship Angara, formerly a transport, has been sunk In shallow water. The patients nre still on board the ship nnd are comfortable The Japanese shells directed against the harbor are fired with remarkable accuracy. Recently n silk clad Chinaman, who was seen traveling In a sampan, was watched by the Russians, who observ ed that following the discharge of each shell, he placed a handkerchief to his nose and then Into his left pocket, oc caslonally varying these movements, apparently thus signalling the landing planes of the shells. The Hhells fell behind obstructions, which fact pro vented the Japanese obtaining a direct view of their effect. The chinaman was hanged.

Nov. 17.—Four men were asphyxiated by gas at Dover, N. J., today at the plant of the Dover, Rockaway and Port Orm Gas company. They constitute^ the entire working force of the place, und were discovered by George E. Bunnell, a former em ploye, who on visiting the plant found It apparently deserted with engines running under a full head of steam and scarcely any water In the boilers. After shutting down the engines and attending the boilers, Bunnell went through the works and found the four men beneath an open trap door In the meter room, with the spAce under the floor filled with gas from a broken vavle In the drip pipe. The men were Wm. Bulmer, 17 years old, employed as a fireman; Ellas rt. Chamberlain, the engineer; Otto Elds- chump, painter, and a man known only as Gustave, also a painter. Came Near Death Himself. The men lay together In a heap and Bunnell noticing that the man on top was alive, entered the trap to rescu* him, but become so weakened by the gas that he could not lift the body to the floor, four feet above,* nnd was barely able to get out himself. He | |W staggered outside but was unable to attract any one's attention for Assis tance. When help finally arrived Event of Afternoon Was Contest for $500 Challenge Cup, Won by Alfred G.

In the ring at the time were tho horses Buster Brown and Kntzenjam- mer Kid, driven by Mrs. Edward It. Ladew of Glen Cove, Long Island.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 17.—At the foreign office the Associated Press learns there is absolutely no cause for the alarmist reports regarding the hitch in the Anglo-Kusilan conventio which it is confidently expected will be removed and a full agreement reached Ithln a few days. The report that Ambassador Benkendorff will be ro called Is ridiculed. Thc^ltuatlon la ex plained ns follows: Russia provisional accepted the text of the convention In English as submitted by Great Britain but when is translated ext option was taken to the phraseology, p i ••tlcularly to the portion referring to ths determination of the question of blame, Russia con tending that the context did not cloar- ralse the question of any Mums which might attach to the other side. Exception to Language. Exception was also taken to the lan guage relating to the firing upon the fishermen which as worded left the Im pression that the Russian ships know ingly fired upon them, consequently Russia prepared nn entirely new text In French which was submitted but was rejected by Great Britain. Then nf ter somo exchanges In which French assistance was acknowledged Itn ar rangement was reached that each side submit new texts from which no diffi culty is anticipated In reaching a final conclusion. One of th** points agreed to is a preamble wherein the proced ure Is described but more Important Is proposition for n supplementary ar ticle which will lay down the proce dure for this convention und for any inquiry of a kindred nature the neces slty for which may arise In the future between the two countries. The Important Stop. The convention therefore promises to mark an Important era In the relations between tho two countries, creating through The Hague convention a sort of permanent arrangement for resolv ing similar mlHunderstandlngn In the future.
