JAPANESE SUSTAIN
A LOSS OF 30,000
Attack on Port Arthur Provec
Disastrous.
MADE AN ASSAULT ON FORTRESS
Reports From the Far Eastern War
Are to the Effect That the Mikado’*
Forces Have Sustained a Severe Re
pulse.
St. Petersburg, July 13.—A dispatch
from a Russian correspondent at Muk.
den dated July 12, says:
"According to intelligence receivec
here, the Japanese last night attack
ed positions near Port Arthur, anc
were repulsed with enormous losses
caused by Russian mines, not lesf
than 30,000, it is said, being killed oi
wounded.”
St. Petersburg, July 13.-5:35 p. m
This city was thrown into a fever ol
excitement this afternoon by the new*
that the Japanese had failed in an as
sault on the fortress opposite Port
Arthur on Sunday night, having been
repulsed with a loss said to reach 30,
000.
The original report reached St. Pe
tersburg last night in the form of £
newspaper dispatch from Mukden, anc
was received with incredulity but ai
noon when Viceroy Alexieff officiall>
telegraphed the news to the genera
staff, it created a tremendous impres
sion. It was immediately transmittec
to the Official Messenger, and a few
minutes afterward the newsboys were
racing through the street, electrifying
the crowds with the tidinrs. The
boys were fairly mobbed by people
eager to buy extras.
'the members of the general stall
do not offer explanations of what Ad
miral Alexieff means by “Japanese
sources,” hut they declare that the
viceroy would not have officially re
ported such important ru?ws unless il
had reached him from sources entirely
worthy of credence. At the same time
they say tho report should be accept
ed with reserve, pending the receipi
of more definite advices.
In support of the report, however
they point out that the date coincides
with the second attempt of Admirn
Togo’s torpedo boat destroyers to
creep into the; harbor. It is true that
Togo does not mention a land attack
but this is not his province. The
loss of 30,(i0u of the besiegers in ar.
attack against fortifications with guns
in position, the approaches sown witf
mines, was considered quite within the
range of possibility, if the Japanese
as on other occasions, stormed the
fortifications with their accustomed
recklessness, and especially if the
mines were exploded under masses ol
men. The general staff already ha<
information that the besiegers had oc
cupied Taku Shan Hill. 3 miles north
east of the harbor, but added that the
Japanese were uniflde to hold the po
sltion. If the report of the loss oi
30,000 Japanese is confirmed. Genera;
Nodsu’s army is in desperate straits,
as General Stoessel will not fall tc
take advantage of such a reverse tc
follow ft up. ,
St. Petersburg, July 13.—An officia
communication from the Russian gen
eral staff says:
"According to Information derived
from Japanese sources and received
by Admiral Alexieff’s military staff
the Japanese attacked the Russiar
positions at Port Arthur during th<
night of July 10. They were repuls
ed with enormous fokses. It is diffi
cult to calculate even approximately
the number of Japanese casualties
which amounted, it Ts said, to the im
mense figure of irT.OOO.”
Mukden, July 12.—^Delayed ir
Transmission.)—Advices received her<
from Port Arthur say That Genera
Fock attacked the Japanese riglu
flank on July 5 and drove the Japa
nese from their position. Th“ Russiar
cavalry advanced as far as Nan G£
pass.
The Japanese are landing troops ai
Siao Pink Tao, about midway betweer
Port Arthur and Port Dalny, on th<
east coast of the Liao Tung peninsu
la.
The utmost confidence Is felt at Pori
Arthur of the ability of the garrison tc
hold out.
5ecome extremely cautious about risk
ing his ships, and that at present hs
will only undertake operations of fee
ondary importance, like a pursuit oi
the Vladivortock squadron and co-op
eration with land forces at New
Chwang.
A special dispatch from Ta Tchf
Kiao says the Japanese lost heavily
while crossing the river at Kai CQlm
According to a special telegram
from Liao Yang, the Russians could
have discovered further Japanese de
tachmenta in the valley of the Tal
Tse river, on the road to Mukden
The correspondent thinks the Japa
nese ih that vicinity intend to direct
the operations of the Chinese bandits
who are concentrating in the surround
Ing valley for the purpose of raiding
the railroad and blowing up some ol
the bridges.

State Institutions Ask for Increased Ap
propriations.
Atlanta, July 13.—Before the house
general appropriations committe*
there appeared Tuesday representa
lives of several well known state insti
tutions to ask for increased appropri
at ions for the coming year. Th«
committee accorded a hearing to all,
but took no action, dieferring this
until a future meeting.
Hon. George W. Adams, of Putnam
was on Saturday unanimously nomi
nated for state senator from the twen.
ty-eighth district. This district h
composed of Jasper. Morgan and Put
nam counties and is now' represented
by Hon. Harvie Jordan. The sen
natorial convention was held at Shady
Dale, in Jasper county, and Mr. Adams
was placed in nomination without op
position.
The senate committee on immigra
tion Tuesday voted to report favor
ably on the bill by Mr. Matthews, ol
the twenty-third, providing for an es
ablishment of a statelmmigratlon com
mission, this decision, however, related
to a substitute for the present bill.
An interesting session of the senate
committee on agriculture was held
Tuesday morning anff would haw*
been continued in the afternoon hao
it not been for the appropriations
meeting in the house committee room
Ballot Reform Bill.
By the somewhat unexpectedly largf
vote of 102 to 40 the ballot refonr
bill or Australian ballot bill as It is
variously called, by Dr. Kelly, of Glas
cock, recently reported to the house oi
representatives by the special joinl
committee of which Dr. Kelly was
chairman, was passed by the hdus«
and will go at once to the senate foi
its action.
The measure was passed, too, aftei
fi\ edays of debate practically as re
p< 'ted by the special joint committef
of the house and senate with only om
ini )ortant change. The house struch
out the section providing for the lat€
primaries and left that matter to b<
settled just as it is now', by the execu
tive committees of such parties as hold
primary elections. The section re
ferred to provided that no primary
election should bo held more than
60 days prior to the regular electior
to which it related. After several in
effectual attempts to satisfactorily
amend this section, it was stricket
out entirely. The other amend
rm-nts were of minor importance sc
far as the general effect of the bill is
concerned, and were adopted with a
view simply to perfecting the measur*
in all its details.
Almost everybody who reads the news
papers is sure to know of the wonderful
cures made by Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp>-Root t
the great kidney, liver
and bladder remedy.
Tx It is the great medi-
cal triumph of the nine
teenth century: dis
covered after years of
scientific research by
~w5g 3i< Nri Dr. Kilmer, the emi-
' nent kidney and blad
der specialist, and is
wonderfully successful in promptly curing
lame back, kidney, bladder, uric acid trou
bles and Bright's Disease, which is the worst
form of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is not rec
ommended for everything but if you have kid
ney, liver or bladder trouble it will be found
just the remedy you need. It has been tested
in so many ways, in hospital work, in private
pract'ce, among the helpless too poor to pur
chase relief and has proved so successful in
every case that a special arrangement has
been made by which all readers of this paper
who have not already tried it, may have a
sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book
telling more about Swamp-Root and how to
find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

offer in this paper and

Hovel Method of Profit Sharing*
A shirt waist manufacturer in the
wholesale market surprised the em
ployees a few days ago by announcing
that he intends to retire from active
business in their favor, says the New
York Times. His plan is to turn the
plant over to tried and true subordi
nates. with the stipulation that in case
the business should prosper they are
to pay for the property on the Install
ment basis. In the event of time dem
onstrating that these trusties cannot
make a go of the enterprise, the boss
is to take charge of affairs, assuming
all liabilities, ami begin anew to build
up trade.
National MarrlaKf Law.
A national marriage law Is being ad
vocated by many people, says the Cin
cinnati Commercial Tribune, who see in
it a cure for the conditions now ad
mitted to he in existence in Utah, as
well as a remedy for the confused and
often demoralizing state of divorce and
remarriage in many of the states.

STRANGLED BY FALSE TEETH.
St. Petersburg, Jhly 13.—12:32 p.m
The admiralty believes Rear Admlra
Withoff’s squadron is rendering effec
live aid in the defense of Port Ar
thur, by impeding the construction o
batteries near the eastern approaches
and the fortress, by going out am
shelling the Japanese works under con
struction for this purpose. The ex
pedltion of Saturday is believed tc
have been of this nature. The bring
ing up of siege guns to an effectivf
range can thus be materially retarded
This probably is the reason the squad
ron has not yet left Port Arthur, am
It Is not likely to do so until the fal ;
of the fortress becomes inevitable.
The admiralty believes that the na
val situation is greatly improved am
sees evidence of the Japanese fleet
showing signs of exhaustion. 1 he of
