The en? tire line of Russian defenses imme d itel y about the harbor is within range of the Japanese guns. A number of Russian forts and bat? teries continue to be vigorous. The Japanese death roll will be heavily increased before they are captured. The din of the Japanese attack cre? ates the impression here that the city and defenses on either side of the har? bor entrance ' will fall first. 'The final stand will be made at Liaotishau. Japanese official channls of information remain closed and the navy depart? ment's announcemet of . the striking. of a mine by the battleslhip Sevasto? pol and the firing upon the Russian forts by the cruisers Nisshin and Kas uga yesterday are the only disclosures made for several days. It is believed here that both sides have suffered heavy losses and that the final record will make the siege the bloodiest since Sedan. The Japanese are supremely confident of the ultimate result. The leaders of the government await the outcome in calm assurance. The people are everywhere decorating streets and houses and erecting arches and flagstaffs in prepartaion for national celebration of the expected victory.

Her injuries will take weeks to re? pair. This would have permitted an extension of lier sojourn in a neutral port beyond the 24 hours which expir? ed yesterday, but it is foreseen that ! the repairs would entail such a stay at | Saigon that it is possible the qnes- j tions affecting the neutrality of the j port wtiuld be likely to arise and therefore Russia is disposed to disarm the Diiana, which thereafter will re? main at Saigon during the war.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Another Murder Mystery. Columbia, Aug. 25.-Colombia has another murder mystery. This time it is a white boy. For some time F. B. Smith, J. B. Smith, J. M. Cush m?n and another white mac lived in a camp about two miles below the city. They bad a boy with them named Fate Shealey. Smith, Cushman and their companion devoted themselves to hunting and fishing and made their living largely out of the fresh water fish that they caught and sold in Co? lumbia. This morning the three men went out to place their lines and nets and left the Shealey boy in charge of the, camp to take care of things and clean up camp. .When the men re? turned they found a negro at the camp and he reported he worked at the granite quarry nearby aand that he found the boy dead. The boy had a horrible cut across tire head and his face was cut from side to side. A valuable gun that belonged to the party was missing, and the absence of the gun, it is thought, accounts for the murder. The theory is that some one went to the camp and found the boy in charge, and, seeing the fine gun, wanted to take it. The hoy pro? tested and the visitor wanting the gun killed the boy. Sheriff Coleman and a party went to the scene of the murder immediately upon receiving the news, but up to this afternoon had not been able to. catch the murderer. Better Tone in. Business. _\_ New York, Aug. 26.-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say : Bather better Western crop reports and the advance of the fall season have brought an increased number of buyers to nearly all Western and Eas? tern markets. This has resulted in an enlargement of fall distribution, which, however, has proceeded along conservative lines, with staple pro? ducts * notably in most demand A feature of the week throughout he country has been clearance sales of summer goods by retailers which have enlarged distribution in this Jine, no doubt to be reflected later orr in col? lections. Industrial resumptions are numerous, and the aggregate number of operatives involved is considerable. A rather better tone is noted in textile manufacturing circles, the effect of numerous resumptions of cotton mills and a disposition to take hold shown by buyers of textiles at first and sec? ond hands Pyrotechnics in the cot? ton market and uncertainly as to the fnure price of that staple, however, hold down buying.
