PROGRESS OF THE WAR. Assaults on Various Positions Around the Beleagured City?Repulsed Last Saturday. St. Petersburg-, By Cable.?The following dispatch has been received at the War Office from General Zilinsky: "The following reports have reached here (Liao Yang) from Port Arthur: 'On June 26th the Japanese displayed great activity at all their outposts, and in the hope of recapturing the mountains of War-Tsei-Laza (?) which had been taken from them, they attacked, but were again repulsed and our troops now occupy the village of Beikhohoon, northeast of Sia-PingTao. The enemy maintained a heavy fire at long range on oyr left flank from their squadron, which lies in Talien-Wan Bay, in full view of Port Arthur. It consists of a cruiser, two torpedo boat destroyers, and seven merchant ships, which evidently brought cargoes into the bay. " 'On the night of June 24th-June 25th the Japanese torpedo boats reapproached the fortress, and at four in the morning of June 26th the enemy began to cannonade from their vessels in Siao-Ping-Tao Bay, direct ing their fire towards the whole coast towards the north, from the bay to Mount Ult-Selo, and then attacked in great force, firstly height No. 131; secondly, height No. 126. " 'The latter were attacked by a small detachment landed for this purpose. These two positions were held by our riflemen, who, after driving off three attacks with heavy losses, retired, and, being pressed by the enemy, sought refuge on the heights of Loun-Van-Tian. The enemy attacked this position in great force, employing at least a division, but the assaults were repulsed. "'At 3:30 p. m. the Japanese appeared on the Port Arthur road in great strength and attacked KwinShan (Guin-San-Shan). The riflemen who held the right with two battalions, retired. The Japanese turned them from the rear, losing heavily in the manoeuvre. Our torpedo boats were of small assistance to us, advancing on Loun-Van-Tian and bombarding the coast occupied by the enemy. " 'Our losses were seven officers and about two hundred soldiers killed or wounded. Our mines exploded at the proper time, blowing up at least fifty Japanese. Their losses were evidently considerable. "'According to the latest advices, * ?* nri Am tt n ro large columns ui. uic ?.v marching from Dalny towards the village of Suan-Tsan-Hon and Khouint Mountain. " 'On June 27 there was a fusilade at the Japanese outposts, due to the Japanese establishing themselves on the summit of Luon-Van-Tian Mountain. Our gunboats proceeded yesterday towards Loun-Van-Tian and bombarded the shore. "'Yesterday evening the forts and batteries at Port Arthur opened fire on the Japanese torpedo boats.'" Arrested in Atlanta. Atlanta, Ga., Special.?Jack T. Bone, ' who shot and killed Z. T. Hall, in Floyd county, near Rome, Ga., June 9. and who was supposed to be hiding on Rock Mountain, was arrested in this city Sunday.

Available Cash. Washington, Spocial. ? Secretary Shaw gave out a statement showing J the comparison between the estimates which he submitted to Congress in his last annual report and the actual receipts and disbursements during the fiscal year from which it appears that the actual surplus is only about threefourths of a million less than the estimated surplus, when account is taken only of expenditures which were considered in submitting the estimate.

Swallow, of Pennsylvania, for President, and George W. Carroll, of Texas, for Vice-President. The platform was adopted without argument after a long deadlock in the resolutions committee. It was described by A. H. Ames of Oregon, secretary of the committee as the broadest platform ever put before the people by the party. In addition to the planks on the liquor question, it declares the party to be in favor of international arbitration, a suffrage law based on moral and mental qualifications, uniform laws for the country and dependencies, popular election of Senators, civil service extension and the initiative and referendum. The trust question was recognized by a rigid demand for the application of the principles of justice to all organizations of capital and labor.

Pritchard, of the United States Circuit Court, has filed his opinion in the case of Mr. Josephus Daniels, editor of the Releigh News and Observer, who had been fined $2,000 for contempt of court by District Judge Thomas R. Purneil. The case came up on a writ of habeas corpus sued out by Mr. Daniels, who refused to pay the fine and was ordered committed. Judge Pritchard's opinion is a careful and comprehensive review of the law as applied to newspaper utterances that might be construed as contempt of court. The opinion says that in order to determine whether the petitioner is entitled to the relief prayed for in his writ it is necessary to determine two questions: (1) Did the court which imposed the sentence in his case have jurisdiction and (2) Does this court have jurisdiction to hear and determine this case on a writ of habeas corpns? "The force of public opinion in this - -? -? iL. country in favor or tne ireeaom oi iu? i press has restrained the free exercise of the power to punish this class of contempts, and in many jurisdictions statutes have been enacted depriving the court of the power to punish them. It was taken from the Federal courts by the act of Congress of 1831, which act deprives these courts of the common-law power to protect by this process their suitors, witnesses, officers and themselves against the libel of the press, though published and circulated during the trial of a case therein. "The newspapers sometimes engage in unwarrantable criticism of the courts cannot he denied," continues the Judge. "In some Instances they construe the liberty of the press as a license to authorize them to engage in wholesale abuse of the court, but these instances are rare and do not warrant a departure from the well-settled principles of the law as declared by Congress and construed by the courts. If judges charged with the administration of the law are not to be criticised on account of their own conduct the liberty of the press is a^idged and the rights of individuals imperiled. "There may be instances where the publication of editorials or other matter in newspapers would bring the author within the limitations of the statute. For instance, if a newspaper should publish an article concerning a trial which was being considered by a jury and should send a copy of tne paper containing such article to the jury or a member thereof during the progress of the trial for the purpose of influencing them in their decision, It would present a question whether such conduct would not be misbehavior in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to obstruct the administration of justice. "It appears that the distinguished Judge who adjudged the petitioner to be in contempt of court," he concludes, "exceeded the authority granted in the act of 1831 and that the Court was without jurisdiction. Such being the case, the judgment of the court is void and therefore a nullity. "In view of the foregoing, the Court firds that the petitioner is unlawfully restrained of his liberty, and it is therefore considered and ordered by the court that the said Josephus Daniels be discharged from the custody of the Marshal of the United States and that he go hence without day." Good, if Not Popular Teaching. In his address to the young Blackstones and Mansflelds of Maryland University's Daw School John Brooks Leavitt taught a doctrine that will not commend itself to some very eminent and opulent members of the profession. "No lawyer," he said, "is justified in devising schemes by which, under the guise of evasion, his clients may really commit br :hes of the law." No Peace Overtures. Washington, Special.?While the officials here are satisfied from their private advices that the recent visit of King Edward to his nephew, Emperor William, was not brought about by a purpose to initiate a movement toward the restoration of peace between Russia and Japan, there is reason to believe that some very careful and discreet inquiries as to the opportunities of some such overtures at this time have emanated from Washington. It may be stated that the result has been to disclose the fact that neither of the belligerent powers is yet m a humor to sue for peace, nor even to entertain overtures from any third power on that subject. Life Insurance for Creditors. Macon, Ga? Special.?The executors of the Plant estate having endorsed, according to the order of the United States court, the life insurance checks payable to creditors.
