Tokio; Aug. 34.-The newspapers contain an article by Professor Kan gin, of the Tokio University, on th? subject of the conditions which Jap? an ought to J demand of Russia wheo the war ends; in Japanese vic* tory.

Fourth-The cessoin of Saghalien Island, as well as the valuable fish? eries appertaining thereto. Fifth-The retirement of Russia from all Eastern Siberia, as far as Mukden. Mr?

Harrison, adjutant general of Georgia, in which the re? cent Statesboro lynching was discuss? ed. The conference terminated with the appointment of a court of inquiry to investigate the conduct of the mi? litia from which the mob took the prisoner. ^ The court is composed of the fol? lowing gentlemen: CoL A.

The Russians make some peculiar complaints of the manner in which the Japanese are conducting hostili? ties. One. which comes from a com? mander of land forces, is that General Knroki has fooled them, and now they complain that Admiral Togo, in the battle with the Port Arthur fleet, fought at too long range. Report was made to tte admiralty that "the Japanese wonid not permit the Rus? sians to approach" and that, there? fore, their attempts to sink the war? ships of the former "by ramming them or short range gun fire, even at the cost of themselves going to the bottom was unsuccessful.

French Ship Seized by Japanese Rassig Ambassador at Wash? ington Asks to be Recalled. Borne, Aug. 25.-A dispatch to the Italia Militaire fromJMukden, Man? churia, says that the trains on Siber? ian Railroad are working badly on tttcoont of the incessant rains. It also states that General Kuropatkin has eighteen thonsan men in Manchu? ria who will take the offensive against the Japanese as soon as a hundred and twenty guns now en route arrive. MORE FORTS SILENCED. Ctefoo Aug. 25.-Information of nn doubtable authenticity states that the Japanese armored cruisurs Nisshin and Kasuga have, bombarded and silenced the Russian forts east of Gol? den Hill; at the entrance of Fort Ar? thur. The forts referred to are probably the same or very close to forts Lai pang t:ie and Chaocbanko, mentioned in these dispatches yesterday. / END DRAWS NIGH. / To t?o, Aug. 2.5-The final assault on Port Arthur is imminent Hun? dred:, of Japanese guns continue to pour destructive fire into the city and harbor along the lines of forts and en- j trenchments, preparatory for the in- j f anti y assault It is evident that the Hessian lines have been weakened and partly penetrated in the vicinity of Autzshen and Itzshau forts. The en? tire line of Russian defenses imme d itel y about the harbor is within range of the Japanese guns. A number of Russian forts and bat? teries continue to be vigorous. The Japanese death roll will be heavily increased before they are captured. The din of the Japanese attack cre? ates the impression here that the city and defenses on either side of the har? bor entrance ' will fall first. 'The final stand will be made at Liaotishau. Japanese official channls of information remain closed and the navy depart? ment's announcemet of . the striking. of a mine by the battleslhip Sevasto? pol and the firing upon the Russian forts by the cruisers Nisshin and Kas uga yesterday are the only disclosures made for several days. It is believed here that both sides have suffered heavy losses and that the final record will make the siege the bloodiest since Sedan. The Japanese are supremely confident of the ultimate result. The leaders of the government await the outcome in calm assurance. The people are everywhere decorating streets and houses and erecting arches and flagstaffs in prepartaion for national celebration of the expected victory. ASK?LD AND GROSOVOI DISARM London, Aug 25--The correspond? ent of The Times at Shanghai in a dispatch dated Aug. 24, 11.35 t>. m., says that orders from Emperor Nicho? las have been conveyed to Capt Reit zenstein, commanding him forthwith to disarm the cruiser Askold and the torpedo boat destroyer Grosovoi and that "theflags on both vessels were lowered at 7 o'clock tonight." THEY VOLUNTARLY DISARM. Palis, Aug. 24.-There is reason to believe that decisiion is about to be taken providing for the voluntary dis armnment of the Russian cruiser Ask? old and the torpedo boat destroyer Grosovoi now at Shanghai and the Russian cruiser Diana at Saigon. Advices received here from Saigon show, contrary to previous announce? ments, that the JDian? is in a very bad condition. She lias one large bole in her hall below the water line. Her injuries will take weeks to re? pair. This would have permitted an extension of lier sojourn in a neutral port beyond the 24 hours which expir? ed yesterday, but it is foreseen that ! the repairs would entail such a stay at | Saigon that it is possible the qnes- j tions affecting the neutrality of the j port wtiuld be likely to arise and therefore Russia is disposed to disarm the Diiana, which thereafter will re? main at Saigon during the war. London, Aug. 25.-A dispatch from Tokio reports that two torpedo boat destroyers, the names of which are not known, while cruising about the entrance to Port Arthur harbor struck j submarine mines and the larger one of I the destroyers was sunk.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Another Murder Mystery. Columbia, Aug. 25.-Colombia has another murder mystery. This time it is a white boy. For some time F. B. Smith, J. B. Smith, J. M. Cush m?n and another white mac lived in a camp about two miles below the city. They bad a boy with them named Fate Shealey. Smith, Cushman and their companion devoted themselves to hunting and fishing and made their living largely out of the fresh water fish that they caught and sold in Co? lumbia. This morning the three men went out to place their lines and nets and left the Shealey boy in charge of the, camp to take care of things and clean up camp. .When the men re? turned they found a negro at the camp and he reported he worked at the granite quarry nearby aand that he found the boy dead. The boy had a horrible cut across tire head and his face was cut from side to side. A valuable gun that belonged to the party was missing, and the absence of the gun, it is thought, accounts for the murder. The theory is that some one went to the camp and found the boy in charge, and, seeing the fine gun, wanted to take it. The hoy pro? tested and the visitor wanting the gun killed the boy. Sheriff Coleman and a party went to the scene of the murder immediately upon receiving the news, but up to this afternoon had not been able to. catch the murderer. Better Tone in. Business. _\_ New York, Aug. 26.-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say : Bather better Western crop reports and the advance of the fall season have brought an increased number of buyers to nearly all Western and Eas? tern markets. This has resulted in an enlargement of fall distribution, which, however, has proceeded along conservative lines, with staple pro? ducts * notably in most demand A feature of the week throughout he country has been clearance sales of summer goods by retailers which have enlarged distribution in this Jine, no doubt to be reflected later orr in col? lections. Industrial resumptions are numerous, and the aggregate number of operatives involved is considerable. A rather better tone is noted in textile manufacturing circles, the effect of numerous resumptions of cotton mills and a disposition to take hold shown by buyers of textiles at first and sec? ond hands Pyrotechnics in the cot? ton market and uncertainly as to the fnure price of that staple, however, hold down buying.
