In order that the dark blue uni
forms of the men niijii t not show
,-nii)st the brown of the roil which
w.'ii'd be tunud by t!:? force of tho
explosions, nil the altael.ers wore
brown woolen undordrawcrs over
their tunics. Instead of a cap each
man wore a brown woolen headpiece,
which extended to the shoulders, leav
ing only the face visible.
Every man carried a rifle in fcl3
right hand and dynamite grenades In
his left, while a lighted slow match
was attached to his cartridge b?lt,
with which to Ignite the fuses of tho
Jreuades. In this peculiar garb, with
the lighted matches at their waists,
troops presented a strange appear
ance. The explosions made two large
breaches In the. north wall of the fort,
through which tho Japanese In the
moat swarmed. They charged bo
eulckly that fifty of them were either
killed or wounded by the falling
aebrls.
In the meantime the Russians had
ished some 300 reinforcements to
the fort through the covered wall at
tfce rear.
The commander of this enterprise
realized that any attempt to gain the
Interior of the fort would end In dis
aster If his whole force advanced in
ne body, so he disposed of his men
along the wall and ordered them to
fain the lower level of the Interior of
he fort by twos and threes, and to
''.id cover in the holes which had been
1e In the surface by the Japanese
c lis, these offering good cover from
1 n rifle and machine gun fire direct-
1 from the rear of the fort. In these
-.iles 150 of the attackers had found
j. ver by 5 o'clock in the morning.
Advancing carefully, the Japanese
approached the Russian defenses In
tho rear of the fort, and by working
tmm hole to hole under cover of the
avkness, the entire battalion gained
the Interior of the fort, notwithstand
ing the desperate resistance made by
the Russians.
The first charge made against tho
wall of sandbags proved unsuccess
ful but charge followed charge until
midnight, when the last corner of the
Eussian defenses was captured.
The fighting was desperate In the
extreme with bayonets and dynamite
land-grenades, and the entire garri
son was killed with the exception of
a party of twenty, who escaped
through the covered wall, which they
destroyed behind them by exploding
tour mines, thus preventing the Jap
anese from pursuing them.
Though the numbers engaged and
Che area of the fighting were small,
both assault and defense were more
furious than any In the previous his
tory of the siege of Port Arthur. With
the exceptions noted, the garrison
tied fighting to the last man with
wonderful determination.
The final rushes of the Japanese
were Irresistible. Their wounded re
fused to retire, and Insisted on con
tinuing the fighting saying that tliey
bad vowed to take the fort, and that
they must succeed.

IRELAND TO GROW TOBACCO.
Experiments with Governmental Aid!
Give Hope of Much Success.
Dublin. A new era appears i
have opened for Ireland. Not only
will she be a manufacturer of tobac
co, but she appears likely to be able
to grow a good leaf of her own.
Prom tho lands cf Colonel Nug'nt
Everard In Itandalstowu, County
Mealh, twenty acres of tobacco have
been harvested, and Professor J. N.
Harper, of Kentucky University, tho
American tobacco expert, describes
It as "a tobacco crop of the highest
quality, quite equal to that grown In
Virginia and Kentucky." Professor
Harper also pronounces the Irish cli
mate to be almost perfectly suited for
tobacco culture.
Colonel Kvorard has been support
ed by the Irish department of agri
culture, and his Is tho first experi
ment In producing a tobacco crop in
Ireland on a commercial and practi
cal scale.
The department of agriculture
agreed to assist any one who would
experiment with tobacco culture to
the extent of ten acres by bearing th-j
cost of the drjlng and curing plant.
Colonel Everard agreed to lay down
twenty acres. The best procurable
seed was brought from Virginia, and
the process of curing, sorting, rnd
drying has givin employment to a
number of local hands.
Tho twenty acres have yielded
about 14,0(10 pounds weight of leaf. '
Jills is a remarkable result for what
i
Is practically aii Initial cxperltrent; i
it is estimated, however, thiit the !
average yield per acre will be about
1.000 pounds of tobacco. Dublin man- '
ufacturcrs and experts have valued :
the samples already grown as high as .
iC cents a pound for ths best leaves, j
The government lias removed the '
prohibition against tobacco culture,
and undertakes to refund to the grow- j
r one-third of the duty levied. The !
concession, however, Is limited to '.
five years, and it is Impossible to ex
pect farmers to undertake the heavy
Initial cost for this limited period.

Auto Cotton Picker.
The Lowry auto cotton picker la
yet In an incomplete stage, but its in
ventor of the round bale process,
promises that when it has been per
fected, the expense of picking cotton
will bo reduced to about one-fifth of
the present cost.
The machine is not automatic, and
Is really nothing more than a labor
saving device, designed to be operat
ed by five negro boys. The pickers
are long arms, which are held by the
boys and placed against one boll at
a time. The moment the arm touches
the boll the machine becomes whol
ly automatic, but not till then.
Preliminary tests were held near
Shrevoport on the Foster cotton
plantation, and each "arm," as the
pickers aro called, picked an average
of 120 bolls a minute. This is at the
rate of about 3,000 pounds of seed cot
ton per day per machine. The ma
chine is propelled by a gasolene en
gine, which also furnishes the power
for operation. The machine strad
dles over one row, which It picks
clean, and also picks clean the inside
half of the row on either side.

n COLUMBIAN,
New Invention in Telegraph)
Improves Old System.
HIGHER SPEED CLAIMED
Adaptation of Typewriter to Tele
graph and Substitution of Type
written Message System of
Two Austrlans Cells In the Aid
of Photography.
New York. It has been estimated
that for every wireless message sent
and received there are sent more than
300,000 messages over the wires. With
this In mind, it Is easy to see that an
improvement or Invention that great
ly facilitates the Bending of messages
in the old way is of greater present
day value than the discovery of a
system or principle which will prob
Bbly remain In the experimental stage
for at least a score of years more.
Two such inventions and discov
eries have been made recently, or
rather, which. If capable of ac-
co'.nphshlng what the inventors as
pert, must produce a change, amount
ing almost to a revolution, ln tho or
dinary telegraph of every day life.
The first of these Inventions is the
werk of au American, J. C. Barclay,
flsMstnnt general manager of the
We;;: r rn Union Telegraph Company.
The invention consists of the adapta-
tion of tho typewriter
to the tele-
rrurih and tho substitution of a type
written mentago, given at full type
writer speed, for thy slow rnd labori
ous code of the Morse alphabet. By
the use of his appliance, according to
Mr. Barclay, a person may Bit at a
typewriter in one city and hammer
out his message aa fast as ho is able,
while a similar typewriting machine
In another city at the other end of the
line takes down the message ln Identi
cally the same way it is given, capi
tals, punctuation and all.
It is obvious whiit a saving of time
and labor this means. According to '
Mr. Barclay the sender needs to know
only how to operate a typewriter.
The receiver needs only to keep the
machine supplied with paper.
Mr. Barclay said recently that ho ,
bad been at work on his Invention for I
a long time and had overcome all de- !
fects. '
Mr. Barclay said that there were
reasons why he could not now give
out a technical description of the ma
chine in use or allow the machine It
self to be seen. When these reasons
aro done away with he will issue a
description of the patent and give a
public exhibition of its work.
The second invention "which seems
j destined to work a great change ln
uit moos oi leiegrapning is me wont
of two Austrian scientists, and is
known as the Pollak-Virag telegraph
Instrument. The results claimed to
have been achieved by this instru
ment are much more wonderful ln
their way than those accomplished by
Barclay in his adaptation of tho type
writer to use In telegraphing.
The Inventors of the Pollak-Virag
telegraph Instrument assert that by
Choir system they can send without
undue haste from 40,000 to C0.000
Words an hour, and that It is received
in good legible handwriting which
need not be translated.
How this Is done it is not so easy
to explain or understand. The techni
cal description given by the Inven
tors Is far too complicated for the
layman to get anything from. As
nearly as It enn be described the sys
tem is about as follows, says the
Brooklyn Ragle.
The message to be transmitted Is
: converted into telegraphic dots and
dashes on a "perforator" that looks
like a typewriter. The perforator
punches ln a slip of paper a series of
email holes that correspond to the
form of letters. The slip Is passed
over a series of cylinders and electric
waves, find their way through the
prepared holes and come out at the
other end in the same sequence ln
! which they were sent.
I (n recording the letters the system
calls in the aid of photography. The
electric waves are conveyed to a little
mirror and they cause the mirror to
move in two directions, horizontal
and vertical. Electric light is focused
on the mirror and sent by it to a sen
sitized paper. The mirror moves
only the smallest fraction of a milli
meter and tho exposure of the sensi
tized paper Is only the thousandth
part of a second, but lcgibK writing
at the rate of fifteen a second.
The motions of the mirror are only
two, vertical and horizontal. If pro
duced slowly the letters would be
angular, but the rapidity of the
flashes with the movement of the
paper film give the finished message
the appearance of handwriting. De
veloping and fixing the message takes
ton seconds.
Cabbies' New Measuring Device.
Paris. The new device known as
the "taxameter," consisting of a
clock-work arrangement for measur
ing distance and indicating the exact
amount of the fare was placed in a
limited number of cabs
The fare is 75 centimes for 1,200
meters. The trial appeared to bS
satisfactory and the apparatus will
probably gradually be adopted by the
various companies.
Cabbies that have tried it are pleas
ed with the system and think they
can make more money than by the
old method.

GERMANY OUR ALLYf
She Looks to Us for Aid In Gratify
Ing Her Imperial Ambitions.
Dr. Emll Reich writes, In World's
Work, of tho attitude of Germany to
ward tho United States. He says:
There have been states which have
found It possible to stand outside the
arena of European conflicts, always
celling their inaction dearly to
the combatants. Such a power up
till 1870 was England, favored great
ly by her geographical position. It Is
thus, though not exclusively thus,
that England was able to rise to a
height, to which her rivals struggleJ
vainly to attain.
But to-day the vortex of European
rivalries has widened and England
can no longer act the spectator. Up
to 1S70 she was courted by Germany,
who knew that ln the coming strug
gle tho neutrality of England meant
the very existence of tho German
Empire. But since her victorious issue
from that trial, the ambitions of Ger
many hnve grown and can only be
assuaged at the expense of the Brit
ish Empire. Iok where she will,
Germany finds In Europe no steadfast
friend; some have humiliations to
tevenge, others fear humiliations to
coe'.e.
This it Is that explains the extraor
dinary Interest manifested by Ger
ti:.uiy in Amerlrn; for America no
luucor remains isolated from Euro
pean polities. Henceforth It Is pos
h!b!.' f'er her to take up the part of
umpire-Empire no longer played by
Ell'T'llll'l.
German Imperialism has a charac
ter of it..-; own. It is the outcome of
hi;,; ninbil !"ii and lofty Ideals upon
the one hand, rnd of stern necessity
rn the other. Whether it be granted
to av.y nation to accomplish so high a
destiny rs that which Germany has
feci before herself, may w.ell be doubt
ed, Germany aims at more than mere
tonqu'vsta of power, more than the
f.chlevciiient of an outlet for her
tecr.iing pons. She wishes also to im
pose, her intellectual stamp upon the
world; she wishes at tho same time
to play the part of both Greek and
Roman. In both dlreotlons she can
find no more powerful ally than the
United States.
American Shoes In France.
Nantes, France. Among the feat
ures of the season has been tho gen

made in the United States.
The clumsy, ungainly and heavy
French shapes are gradually disap

Gracefully cut and finely finished
shoes of a decided American appear
ance. The fact is, however, that It Is
rather our shoemaking machines than
the shoes themselves that have come
to France. In any event, the American-appearing
shoes which aro now
quite generally seen in this city and
elsewhere in the provinces are made
principally In Paris with machinery
imnorted from the United States.
This does not alter the fact that
Eonie bona-fide American shoes are

er than the French-ninde articles, and
it. .-, not likely that they will makjs
headway ap.lnst the utrong combina
tion which is represented by cheap
French labor and prolific American
machinery.

ROOM FOR 8000 PUPILS.
Will Front on Three Streets and an
Alley, Will Have Two Hundred
Classrooms and be Fireproof
Twelve Stories High Many Ele
vators and Escalators.
New York. The IVard of Educa
tion believes that the utilization of
tho KltrscraixT idea In a twelve
story sohoolhonse will solve many
difficult problems encountered In tho
congested districts of tho city. Ar
rangements to put tho new plan Into
execution hnve already been com
pleted. Tho biggest school building In the
world is to be erected at Grand, Lud
low and Norfolk streets, on the site
of School No. 137. This building Is
to bo torn down to make way for the
skyscraper, and the pupils will be ac
commodated in Public School No. 62,
at Hester, Norfolk and Essex streets,
while it is building.
The new skyscraper will be abso
lutely fireproof and will have every
possible means of ceapo In case of
danger. It has not yet been decided
whether the building will be ten or
twelve stories high, but if It Is ten
r.torles high It will accommodate S.OOO
children.
Associate Superintendent Georgo
S. Davis, who has been interested in
tho skyscraper building as a solution
to tho crowded school problem, said
that the Idea was generally favored
by tho school authorities, and that ho
and Building Superintendent Snyder
had decided that it was bo perfectly
practicable that plans would be push
ed through at once.
"School building No. 137," said Mr.
Davis, "stands on a site of 80x175
feet. When the new building 13
erected on that much ground It may
readily be seen what economy In
space will be brought about. This
land is valuable, and we can accom
modate Just twice as many pupils as
tho ordinary large building by run
ning U up Into the air.
"The new structure, for which Mr.
Snyder has excellent plans, will con
tain about 200 classrooms. Classes
will be confined to floors in relation
to their grades, so that there will be
ao necewslty for pupils leaving the
one floor. The building will bo de
voted to the higher grades, and that
will be another point ln favor of the
skyscraper ln case of fire. The older
pupils will have more self-possession,
and then, besides that, the excellent
control teachers have over scholars
on account of fire drills Is almost per
fect. "The fire-drill problem In the large
schools has reached a degree of per
fection thnt makes the handling of
large crowds a simple matter.
"Of course, tho building will be as
nearly fireproof as modern building
construction will allow, which means
that practically the only Inflammable
substances will be the furnishings.
There will bo four exits nnd four
high-speed elevators. Escalators will
run between floors, and there will be
a number of broad stairways.
"The departmental system will bo
used, and this, together with the fact
that the scholars aro all of tho higher
grades, will help a great deal. The
departmental system of teaching was
proposed for the new building in or
der to keep each grade to a single
floor and do away with the necessity
for pupils to pass from one floor to
another.
"The building will be especially
suited to night schools, and as this
proposition has been almost as seri
ous on the east Bide as the day
school, the skyscraper will be a great
advantage. The building will be as
nearly like a modern office building
as possible, and when it is finished it
will be the biggest school building In
the world, and the first of its kind as
well.
"The skyscraper Is bound to be the
solution of the problem," said Mr.
Davis, "for it is necessary to make
tho most of tho ground allotted. We
have already planned the problem of
dismissal to a certain extent, for to
turn 8,000 Or 10,000 children out at
once might be confusing. For this
reason different hours of dismissal
will be arranged. At dismissal the
pupils on the lower floors will go out
by the stairways, the upper-floor
pupils using the elevators. As the
building will front on three streets
and an alley It will be easy, compara
tively speaking, to empty the school.
"The building will be arranged with
fifteen classrooms on each floor, and
each room will accommodate fifty
pupils. Of course, we cannot begin
the building until No. 137 la torn
down, and this necessitates finding
accommodations for the scholars ln
this school. No. 62, which is a large
school, will offer this room, and as
soon as it Is completed the pupils
will ba transferred to It and No. 137
torn down."
Building Superintendent Snyder
said In regard to the proposed sky
Bcraper that It was entirely practica
ble, and had he not considered It so
he would never have proposed it for
school building at No. 137.
"I believe the skyscraper school
building to be the practical solution
of the school problem. There Is not
space enough to expand on the
Kround, so the schools will have to
follow the plan of the office building
expand upward."

Englishmen and Mr. Roosevelt.
Looking to tho decisiveness of Mr.
Roosevelt's majority. Englishmen
ask, with the Spectator, "What will
he do with it?" That he will da
nothing with It, nobody expects. Un
leis Englishmen are wholly out of
their reckoning, Mr. Roosevelt is not
the man to rest on his laurels. The
conviction over here Is that tho next
years aro destined to bo memorable
ln American politics, that Mr. Roose
velt Is at last "unmuzzled," that he
has a free hand, and will use it free
ly. People In this country regard the
issue of the election as a mandate to
Mr. Roosevelt to continue as he has
begun. The Spectator, In attempting
to forecast his policy, declares that
"he will guide the American Bhlp
wisely and well, and Instil into every
branch of the government that high
sense of public duty with which he Is
himself inspired." "He will Insist la
domestic, as In foreign, affairs that
the government of the United States
shall hold Its head high. Under his
guidance It will neither fear the mob
nor the plutocrat at home, nor allow
Its greatness abroad to dwindle and
grow dim from "craven fears of being
great." It concludes by prophesying
that his ensuing administration "will
leave Indelible traces on the larger
half of the English-speaking race, and
that for the whole of that race it will
be a lesson and an example ln sound
