Oneo again attention is diverted! from the l u <1 forces now occupying positions in central Manchuria to the besieged and besiegers in and around Port Arthur, and it seems pr< liable that the next im portnnl inov<< will bo another at ?4 tempt o? the part of ttie Japanese to lake tie Russian stronghold by stoini. It :s indicated in the lis patches, however, that preparations for rm extensive conflict seem to be making in the vicinity of Mukden. This is really uncertai n however, for the Japanese are stil 1 taking the initiative and there is no tolling whut they will do, find the Russians wil*. likely do nothing until they mo forced to it, and then, unions thoy change their tactics, thoy will continue thoir movement toward Harbin, where it seems they will take up their winter quaitcr-. Only about two months yet remain until the sever ely cold weather sets iu and it may tie that no decisive engagement on land will occur until then, when active operations will doubtless cease. But then is nothing more than speculation to be had regarding this, an 1 one man's opinion is about as goo I as that of another when it comes t>> that. The most discouraging inf? a.a o o tion to the Russians from Port Arthur is* that the an ..inition of the garrison is l ?ing signs 1 of depletion, a' i that there * is foundation for this L shown by 1 the statement from v t Petersburg 1 that the- story has created annoyance tluro It is said that the I Japanese have within the past few days b ,n enabled to occupy po siti ' heretofore untenable bo e -.-nofthe Russian shells, none! of which reach so far now. In the |' meantime the Japanese are report I ed as landing heavy guns at liarbin and placing them in position to more ell'eetivcly bombard Port Arthur. As expected, the start of the Riwuinn (bnl fnr llm ? ? ?vvv JUI kUU lilt CiUSl >V US I not near so serious us the Russians wished it to appear, and it is now reported from St. Petersburg that an indefinite stop will be made, bof )re the trip is fairly begun. It is improbable thattliTO is any intention of sending the vessels into the zouo of hostilities this fall, as tbey could not reach Vladivostok before that harbor is closed by ice, and u.iless there is a material change for the better so far as Russia is concerned, they would hardly de siro to enter Port Arthur. Aside from a somewhat determined assault upon the defences around Port Arthur on Wednesday and Thursday, w hen t ho .Japanese are said to have made some i:?.i_ i 1 1 - itiuu ueauway, mo actuiil opera-1 tions have been at practically a standstill during the past -week. ' The land forces havo doubtless n< t been in condition to do more tluin carry on a desultory outpost en. gagetucnt,and fuither preparations are being awaited at Port Arthur. ?Charlotte Observer. liUv lvLEN'.-J ARNICA SALVE.
