JAPS MOVE AGAIN Activity Resumed Both at Port Arthur and Mukden. GREAT GUNS BOOMING General Assault is Begun on Great Fortress and Blows are Being Struck at Forces of Gener.al Kuropatkin. According to Russian reports the army of Field Marshal Oyama confronting the 'Russian forces in the vicinity of the Shakhe river has been re inforced by from 40,000 to 60,000 men from Port Arthur and Japan. Earlier reports have indicated that General Kuropatkin has received nearly equal accessions, although Monday's dis patches , from Mukden intimate the contrary and convey the impression that . the present moment finds tne Russians not fully prepared to meet a .Tananese advance thar mav beein at any hour. A Russian advance seems to be regarded as questionable, owirg to the fact that the period since the close cf the battle of Sbakhe river has been devoted by the Japanese to a strenuous prosecution of the work of entrenching. The contending armies are within close touch, and any outpost brush .or reconnaissance may bring, on a general engagement. There is much cannonading of positions on both sides, Poutiloff (Lone Tree) hill being a marked storm center. A Mukden special says: From an early hour Monday morning there has been a. heavy bombardment of Poutiloff (Lone Tree hill) by the Japanese. Large masses of Japanese were moving eastward during October 29 and 30. The Japanese have occupied a rocky promontory south of Sindianpu and also the hills southeast of Koutlatze. The positions along their line are strongly fortified with redoubts, wire entanglements, di&hos and pitfalls, and also mines in seme places. The fortifications are arrang ed In double tiers. The positions, ecpecially on the plain, are exceedingly well masked. On Saturday, through telescopes, the Russians observed a movement of the Japanese eastward, and, judging by the dust, it must have been a heavy force. At Port Arthur. A Che Foo dispatch is as follows: The general assault on Port Arthur, which began in a preliminary way October 24, developed into a fiercely raging battle Sunday when, according to a hitherto Infallible authority, the Japanese flung heavy forces against ..he fortress in their third attempt to secure a commanding position. The Japanese have been preparing for this assault for a month. It is believed that the Japanese did not expect to capture the town on this occasion, but to accomplish another forward step. This plan was adopted following the first assault, when thousands of lives were sacrificed in an attempt to swarm over the fortifications, by & mere force of numbers, regardless of loss. AGED PRELATE PASSES AWAY. Archbishop of Cincinnati Dead at Age of Eighty-Six Years. Rev. Henry Elder, archbishop of Cincinnati, in his eighty-sixth year died in that city Monday night after suffering four days from a severe case of grip, complicated with extreme weakness.' The scene at the bedside, when it was apparent that the end was near, was mo3t affecting. Freight Train Backed Into Kitchen. While Mrs. Henry Gerken was cook ing breakfast in her witchen, at Savannah, an Atlantic Coast Line train was backed into the room. The kitchen stood near the end of the track, and the engineer misjudged his distance. The experience so unnerved Mrs. Gerken that she is seriously ill. The stove and other kitchen utensMs were demolished. WHITECAPPER GOES TO PEN. Young Texas White Man Called Down for Scaring Negroes. Albert Bettis, a young man, was convicted in Judge Scotts court, at Waco, Texas, Monday, of whitecapping, and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Witnesses testified that the defendant posted illustrated anonymous notices threatening violence against negroes unless they quit farms en which they were employed as laborers. The notices bore ghastly pictures oi coffins and negroes dangling from tne boughs of trees. ENDS TROUBLLE IN PANAMA. Resignation of Secretary of State, Arias, Calms Political Waters.

Recognizing the growing demand ' jr frogs as an article of epicurean iet, the Fishing Commission of the j tate of Pennsylvania has decided to ncourage the raising of tadpo'es to irmers and others wbo are in a posicn to take up frog raising as an in- \ V, ustry. Heretofore there has been ttle systematic attempt to supply ; tie market with frogs. In vacation ? ays bands of boys have hunted the larshlands in search of the croakerw, .

Another way v % he boys have of obtaining a s.upply j.y f frogs for the market is to shoot hem with small shot from an air - & ifle. The regular fishermen, those rho eke out a living by catching rogs when fish are- scarce, and -^ha v ly their trade in the swamplands of >* \ Jersey and elsewhere, depend on ? ; /-< tet and the quickness of their hand 0 capture the elusive quarry.

The law governing snjh ^ ;ly and demand has put the price of 4 rogs in these tiroes to a figure that K nakes it actually profitable to raise hem for market purposes, and the State of Pennsylvania intends to aferfst all who wish to take up the In- >/ ,.*] lustry by supplying the nucleus for . , 1 froggery.
