R|8e to the Belief That Hia Attack May Take That .Direction-^ Port Arthur Fleet 8ald to be Out *id? th? Harbor? Cold Caualng 8uf fering Among the Troope. Ho far as the dispatches from the I'ar East ahow, there ha# been no ( ,)anSe 1,1 relative positions of the hostilo armies confronting each other on the lino of the Shakhe river, faere is an unconfirmed report that a Hu?sian force of 20,000 imni have been concentrated at Keuta Pass, 20 miles northeast of Lino Yang, which may bo indicative of the direction in which Kuropatkin i8 to strike hl.s next blow. Upwards if 20,000 of the Russian soldiers wounded in the bat "e of Shakhe have reached Harbin, t-old weather is causing suffering to the armies an the field, although it ha? wrought an improvement in the conditions for the movements ;?/ troops. A report has reached St. Pe tersburg, '.tut lacks confirmation, tha' the Port Artiiur fleet lias left its au cborage In the harbor and has taken up a op3it)on in tho roadrtead. Kuropatkin Will Try Again, 8t. Petersburg, liy Cable. ? There Is iio change in the relative position of tlio armies on the Shakhe river. General Sakharoff telegraphs that the Russians have been bombarding I.amuting and the Buddh'Ist tomple at Linshinpu, while tho Japanese have been shelling thb Russian position at Shakhe and near Llndhlnpu. An As sociated Press dtapatch/from Mukden reports that the Japanese aro forti fying an important height south of Shakhe, and that neither side shows a disposition either to advance nor re tire. Another Associated Press dis patch from the Russian 'front says the situation1 is not yot ripe for tho re sumption of the offensive. This mea gre but significant "admission, all that ihe censor allows to pass over the wires, doubtloss indicate* that Gener al Kuropatkin is maturing important plan3 and distributing his forces in readiness for another attempt to brenk the Japanese 4-eslstancc. The winds are now dried by the winds and frost; the cold is (intense and flooded Holds have been frozen. Thus mili tary movements are facilitated though at ^he same time it wilt be more dif ficult to carry on intrenching work. An Associated Press dispatch from the Russian front gives a rumor that the Russian forces made a detour to the west, arriving abreast of Liao Yang, but there Is no confirmation of ; this report. (jPreat iinpoitance is at tached to a report from Toklo that Z00 Russians havo crossed the Taitse riv er cast of Bensihu and that 20,000 aro concentrated at Kauta Pass, 20 miles northeast. This may Indicate the direction of IC^iropatUin's nest blow, cr possibly it is intended to dis concert the Japanese and compel them to weaken their force on the railroad. Whatever Kuropatkln's ul timate object may bo, there la no 'doubt that he is desirous of obtainlqg the most reliable information as to ? he number and disposition of the force opposing his left flank. The Cossacks mr.y bo rolled upon lo har* rass the Japanese Una of communi cation, besides recounqltering. Gen erul Kueopatkin in with the cuftU'? Qt his army.

Columbia, Special. ? What will result In a terrible tragedy occured Friday night about 7 o'clock in the old Rich mond bulldlug just In the rear of the police station. Marie Watkins, color ed, threw a lighted lamp at Thomasl r.a Broom, colored. The latter was no badly burned that she will probably dlo. I .From the story of Florence Gulg nty d, a small, mulatto girl of some 12 years and considerable intelligence, it seems that these (wo half grown no [ gro girls were in a room in the old , building, which was by common con sent of the many colored families liv ing thero used as a parlor. There was a bed in this room and the two were lying on It. The lamp nearby on a table had little oil in it and an alter cation arose as to who should All it. A friendly tunnel began which merged iUeW into.a sharper attack. The L Wftikfns woman seised the lamp and threw it at the other woman oh uhe lay on the bed. Her light cotton gar ments flared up and the room was fill ed with smoke and Are. So largo a b!?*u it was that the whole yard was lighted up although it was bright moon light outside. The Watklng wutnan, terrified, ran from the room down the hall? down the steps and hid herself. She was found about 30 minutes later by Officer James Dunning who pulled her out from under a house and locked her up. The unfortunate Broom girl lnaped from the bed and ran out of the room down the long hall screaming in pain and fright. As she neared the stair caqe some one threw a blanket over her but she did not stop, and it fell away and the flames leaped higher and higher above her head. By this time somo one was on hand wiih buckets of water and ns the girl foil exhausted at the stair case the water wan thrown upon her. The spot where she fell was marked by tUe scorched and burnt rags of her clothing. Almost all of It was burned off. She was frlghtfclly burned about the hips, back and shoulders. Dr. D. 8. Pope, the city physician, was called In and attended the woman. He said last night that- while she might live the trtght through it was hardly probable that she could recover. About midnight the woman's condi tion was about the same. Sho was still alive but was in a critical condi tion. It is hardly- probable that sho will recover. The case against Marie Watklns will be brought up this morn ing in the recorder's court and will, probably bo carried up to the circuit court. Successful Experiment. Beaufort, Special. ? On a farm a few miles from Beaufort, under the man agement *of Mr. Speimer. a very suc cessful experiment has been made in corn planting. A patch containing one $8-100 acres has produced 121 bushelH, or about 85 bushels to the acre. The very large yield Is attributed to close planting. A bed five feet wide was thrown up and the seed planted in two rows 22 Inches apart. The stalks stood 20 inches apart in the row*. "Al len's prolific" is the namo of the seed used, which was planted during the first week in May. Two tons of cotton oil sweepings, costing about $2. was the "only fertilizer used.

Despite such heavy receipts the de mand for cotton remains unabated, duo to the fact that most of that received had already been sold And came affiply* ' to fill contracts already made; wnUe for current needs only a relattveljy ?mall parts of the receipts was avail* . able. This explains the fact that while the port is congested with cot ton there continues an effort to get la more cotton from all sccttons, and it. Up an urgent demand at that.
