Reports show that General Nogi is battering to pieces what is left of the Russian fleet bottled In the harbor by Admiral Togo. The general's furious bombardment of the port, particularly since his capture of Two Hundred and Three Meter hill, has driven the Russian admiral to an extremity. Fires were started in several of the ships, and one of them, a battleship of the Poltava type, burned fiercely for more than an hour, the enormous column of black smoke rising front her serving as a guide to the Japanese gunners on Etse and Antze mountains, who cooperated with the cannonading from Two Hundred and Three Meter hill.

An ambitious woman gets wind of some rival's intended function. Not to be invited or not to be seen among the guests means a slight easily endured if the world be not cognizant of the fact, but intolerant if it is; therefore the ambitious woman sails away to .vurope. She may not be gone six w wits, but her absence is thus to be accounted for. In other cases it Is known that society takes this absent treatment to cure heart troubles, to escape social obligations lhat weigh too heavily on the income or, again, from sheer ennui it departs. This restlessness of certain sets in society would be dangerous were it not for the safety valve which that really overworked Atlantic ocean has become of late years.

Its importance is recognized by both sides, for by holding it General N'ogi commands the whole harbor as well as the new town road to White Wolf mountain and beyond that to Liaothie promontory. where a fragment of the garrison is holding out in hope of relief from the main Russian body. The Japanese have repelled all attacks on the hill, and General Nogi is confident lie can keep the advantage. He is strengthening the position with redoubts and trenches, and it is doubtful General Stoessei's entire force could wrest it from the besiegers unless by surprise. General Nogi, it is reported unofficially. is preparing to use Two Hundred and Three Meter hill as the pivot for the next general assault on the Russian position, in the course of which it is believed the fortress must fall. 15c Fan. y L ijt-T l.rgost s ze, 2 lbs lot.  utes, was completed there was loud applause from the Republican side.
