Sept. 22 , 3 p. m Several - oral colliers Imvo arrived lioro within the last ton clays. It Is believed their cargoes are Intended for Port Arthur. It is said that there are less than 200- 000 tons of coal on hand there and the Russians are offering stupendous In ducements for the delivery of coal. On account of the Russian warships hav ing been compelled tr keep up a full head of steam Bay an A y * * for nearly ' eight months an ono. fy.j.-Mty of fuel has boon required. " jj. Many tons of coal are also . * 'o/ .1 by the water condensing plant , it. fo , water famine as well as a coal famine Is likely to result unless the required fuel can be obtained. With the water supply for the garrison cut off by the Japanese , dependence for water would bo entirely with the- water condensing plant , and If a coal famine prevails the people of the town must bo getting wa ter from Impure water wells , which would also have to be served to the sick and wounded without Ice , as there Is no means for making Ice without fuel. TOKIO , Sept. 22. While ofllclal con firmation lst lacking It seems certain that tlio Japanese are In possession of a fort on another height westward of Itzshan , which they carried by a des perate assault nnd have , since resisted all attempts of the Russians to effect its'recapture. . ST. PETERSBURG , Sept. 22. The general staff has Issued a revised list of the Russian casualties at Llao Yang , showing that 1,810 were killed , 10,811 wounded , 1,212 left on the field of bat tle. Fifty-four regimental officers were killed and 262 wounded. Two generals were killed and three wound ed. Five officers were left on the field. ST. 'PETERSBURG , Sept. 22. Kuro- patkln telegraphs under yesterday's date that the Japanese continue their attempts to turn the Russian left , but without success. The war office does not expect a bat tle , at Fushun until after a series of rear guard engagements. ST. PETERSBURG , Sept. 22. All In dications are that the Japanese are tryIng - Ing again to ( lank the Russian forces south of Mukden. Reports from the front are that outpost skirmishes are of dally occurrence. Reports from Port Arthur are that the bombardment of the fortress con tinues dally. Tlic General Situation. TOKIO , Sept. 22. The Impression Is growing generally that an engagement . will soon take place at Mukden. Kuro- 5 patkln Is evidently preparing to make a determined reslstence to any attempt to dispossess him nnd Is Intrenching nnd constructing defenses. Ho has an immense force available , but the opin ion is expressed that Tie pass would be a more favorable location for de fense. The Russians , however , are unwilling to suffer the loss of pres tige which would bo Involved by the abandonment of Mukden. Both armies } * & * are now rested , having recovered from ' the effects of the fight at Llao Yang. They are In condition to fight , and the | f weather Is favorable for military op- orations. The roads are drying and the Japanese are speedily restoring the railway. The army Is now forwarding rolling stock , with captured cars and engines , and with the Llao river open the task of transportation and sup plies to the advance base of operations at Liao Yang Is simple. There is much speculation now as to the extent of the fall and winter campaign. It Is generally thought Oya- ma will continue pressing Kuropatkln back until winter falls , and will then strongly guard his advance line until spring. The Japanese carried on an aggressive campaign against the Chi nese during the winter , but the condi tions are different in this war. The renewal of the attack upon Port Arthur on newer and more aggressive lines Is expected this week , and It Is predicted the reduction of that fortress will bo accomplished within ten days or a fortnight. The spoils taken at Llao Yang con tinue to grow. Kurokl reports the capture - turo of four miles of railway rails and I , 200 tons of coal. A telegram received from mil itary headquarters In Manchuria says portions of the Russian troops engaged in reconnaissance while returning from Ping Tai Tse continued In touch with the Japanese lines along the Mukden and Fushu roads on September 18. There was no fighting. JEWS WITH THE RUSSIAN FORCES limitation Hitherto IMaced on Jewluli StudentH llemovcil Capable Sur gical Work at the Front. BERLIN , Sept. 22. It Is somt-oiTl- dally announced , says an Odensa dis patch , that the limitation ) ) hitherto placed uin the number of Jewish stu dents entering the medical faculties of the universities nnd medical colle ges , both within nnd without the so- called "Southern pale , " Is to be greatly moderated , and , later on , not Improba bly abolished. The necessity for the removal , or partial removal of this particular disability ha been forced upon the government by the dearth of Russian doctors end surgeons nt the front. It Is admitted that about 62 per cent of the medlcnl start In Man churia are Jews , and , indirectly , the reports made by commun l'i ? ofT.co.s constitute n tacit acknowledgment that , profosHloiml'.y , thu Jewish tuir- goons and doctors nro the nioro ble and assiduous practitioners.

RESULTS OF IRISH LAND PURCHASE Sti u-MNfiil Wnrlnt : til" l.nnil Pur chase Syntent Is Slinviu In In-lurid by nmlil ItcpiirtH. LONDON. Sept. 22. Tin successful working of the land purchase system In Ireland Is once more the clhcf fea ture of the annual report of the Land Commissioner , which has Just been Issued. On November 1 last there were 69,910 tenant purchasers , who owed { 12,355,880 In respect of the half-yearly Installments under the land purchase nets of 1885 and 1891. On July 21 only 363 persons were still In arrears , owing $12,195. During the year the land com missioner found It necessary to adver tise for sale the holdings of 85 default ers , but 63 of these paid up all arrears. Thus , only 22 persons out of nearly 70,000 purchasing tenants failed ulti mately to fulfill their obligations to the state , and lost their holdings. The result speaks well for the security which the Irish tenant affords for gov ernment loans to facilitate a system of land purchase. IOWA'S OID BBI.IJ iv UTAH.

Mr. Irish , a pioneer of Johnson coun ty , knows peculiar marks on the boll , nnd tluiH Identifies It. Ho will strive to Induce Utah to send the boll back to Iowa City , or to Des Atolnes , In order that It may bo placed In the state historical rooms or in the state capital.

After accidentally shooting his brother Fred , aged 12 years , Louis Tyler , son of a well known Mlnnehaha county farmer , probably saved the former's life by thrusting the Injured boy's arm Into a flour barrel and thus stopping the great ( low of blood.

The charge struck Fred and tore the flesh off the under side of his right arm.

"The canvaHH of Indiana , " Bald Mr. Towne , "Is now being conducted by the state central committee. The most salient feature of It to date Is the vast number of voters under the dem- ocrntlfi cotllmn Mint nrn flnillitfill Thn poll shows that a great many demo crats are going to vote for Watson and still more for Roosevelt , but our greatest damage Is In the apathy of those who wore leaders In 1896 and 1900. Most of them are going to vote the ticket , but they are not working for It. If wo can arouse them we may win the state , but the situation looks very unfavorable for Parker.

REFUSE TO VOTE FOR PARKER lrnn D'nioernlH of Holt County De cline to Accept the New I'hnxr of Democracy. O'NKILL , Neb. , Sept. 22. A petition H being circulated In thin county which calls on all Bryan democrats "who be- love In the true principles of democ racy" nnd who "decline to follow Par ker Into Wall Htreot" to moot In con vention during the month of October text to Indorse the populist ticket. The following Is part of the call : As to the true democratic party , It consists only of those who stood ( ( or who are now willing to gland ) upon the platform of 1S9C and 1900 , which unnounced our principles to be "unal terable. " The people's party Htlll holds these loctrlnes and the only bona lido dem ocratic party In the field of 1904 Is the party whoso untainted candidates are Thomas E. Watson of Georgia and Thomas H. Tibbies of Nebraska , for president and vice president of the United States. These gentlemen stand firmly and Inflexibly upon the demo cratic platform of 1896 , which declared Its principles "unalterable , " and upon the democratic platform of 1900 , which realllrmed these principles. It 'would bo illogical nnd Impudent In any other candidates to claim the name of Jefferson - forson democrats. We declare that the true Issue Is that proaentod by Watson vs. Reese velt. "That man" Parker Is not In it except to reduce Roosovolt's vote enough to elect that distinguished au thor , statesman , lawyer , citizen , pat riot , and true democrat , Thomas K Watson , whose speech of acceptance at New York was nnd Is the only dem ocratic utterance of any candidate for the chief magistracy.
