IF ARTHUR FALLS THEN THERE IS A STANDING ORDER TO BLOW UP SHIPS. IS BY THE CZAR'S AUTHORITY Acuto Anxiety Prevailing Regarding tho Situation Ample Supply of Ammunition and Provisions Said to Do at Port Arthur. ST. PETERSUBRG Acuto anxiety prevails regarding the situation nt Port Arthur on account of tho deeper rato character of tho fighting re ported to bo taking place. Tho war office, howoror, does not ficcm to bo lleve that danger of tho fall of tho fotross Is so imminent ns la gener al ly assorted. According to advices received by tho war office thero' Is still an ample supply of ammunition and provisions there. Whllo it 13 realized that tho Japanese probably outnumber tho defenders six or seven fold tho groat strength of tho forti fications, It Is believed, will do much to make up for tho disparity In num bers. Upon ono point there Is absolute unanimity hero, namely, that If tho fortress is so imminent as is gener into tho hands of the Japanese. On this point the admiralty's instructions aro of tho most imperative character. Vlco Admiral Princo Ouktomsky has been ordered, should tho worst come, to sally forth for .1 death strug gle and thero Is no question hero that theso instructions will bo carried out, both in letter and In spirit, but If for any reason a final sortlo proves to bo Imposslblo tho admiral is to de stroy his ships and to make certain that thero their wreckage shall bo absolutely Irreparable. In tho meantime Vice Admiral Ro Jestvensky's Baltic squadron, Includ ing tho battleship Orel, Is standing otY Cromstadt with steam up. It is popularly expected thnt the squadron will sail at any hour, and It Is quite truo that It is ready for almost im mediate departure, but regarding tho question of nailing tnere Is a differ ence of opinion among tho naval au thorities. It is held on tho ono hand that tho immediate sailing of tho squadron would bo the best policy. Should tho squadron arrive within two months In tho orient it would find Vice Admiral Togo's floet In ar. infinitely worse condition than if tho Japanese were allowed the whole win ter to repair and refit tho ships. The advocates of an immediate sailing hold that tho port of Vladl vostock is cap-able of receiving the squadron, oven should tho entrance in Pert Arthur prove to bo impractic able, and they wish to treat the Port Arthur squadron for tho present as a negligible quantity, letting the Bal tic sea vojsois meet the .Tapanoso in tho present weakened condition with out relying for any certain assist ance either on Vlco Admiral Ouk tomsky or Vlco Admiral Skrydloff. ATTACK ON PORT ARTHUR. It In Indicated by Information From Various Sources. CHE FOO That a general land and naval attack was made on Port Ar thur Monday la Indicated by Informa tion from various sources. The statement that tho naval attack was made at 4 in tho morning come3 from an authoritative but not diplo matic quarter. Junks which arrived here say tho Japanese recontly occupied tho Limit! hills and Sushiyen, which is two or three miles north of the fortress. Flvo wnrshlpa and seven torpedo boat de stroyers, according to tho junks, re turned to Port Arthur the night of August 10. Tho receipt of the official dispatch announcing the repulse of an attack on Port Arthur August 10, received on Port Arthur August. 10 revived tho hopes thnt tho fortrosss may provo im pregnable. General Stoossol's dis patch also dispelled tho ugly rumors current In the city that tho stronghold had fallen. STATESBORO QUIETING DOWN Captain of Militia Company Will Demand an Inquiry.

Society Sends Out Circular Advising Them to Walt for Dollar Twenty. LINCOLN Wheat growers In this coctlon havo recontly received a cir cular from President Evoritt of the American Society of Equity urging them to make n minimum price of 1.20 a bushel for No. 2 red winter wheat, Chicago market basis. Ever itt cstlmatos tho winter wheat crop in tho United States at 305,000,000 bushels and spring wheat nt 210, 000,000 bushels.

YORK RAISES A NEW POINT. Counties Whoso Valuation Was Raised Look for Flaws in Law. LINCOLN A York county man stated that thcro is a possibility that, tho increases in county valuations ordered by tho State Board of Equali sation may all bo invalid, because of tho interference with tho power of '.ho county boards to raise revenue. Under the statute for tho regulation of county levies, county boards aro required to make estimates In Janu ary of the amount of revenue which they will raise for local purioses, and they arc subject to a lino, should thoy raise moro revenue than the estimate calls lor. Under tho new revenue statute the state board to equalize must of necessity Interfere with the amount of revenue raised locally, nnd that fact. It Is claimed, makes tho section granting tho power to tho state board Invalid. It Is not yet known whether a test suit will bo instituted in York county.
