THE MORNING OHEGOIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1904. LOW 10 SLAVS Enemy Has Driven a Wedge in Genter. FIGHTING AT PORT ARTHUR Desperate Hand-to-Hand Con victs Are Numerous 4IAPSf TAKE MANY CHANCES CThelr Total Casualties, as a Result of the :Lte Attacks, Are 1100 Se vers Fires and Explosions Oc cur Wlthlrr the Fortress. CHICAGO, Nov. 7. A special to the Chi cagoaily Newa from Daisy, November , via Kobe. November 7, says: "After three days of continuous bom bardment of Port Arthur, which caused great destruction to the Shojusan and Nlryusan forts in the west center of .the Russian line of defense, and also to Kak- wan fort, the right wing of the Japanese army assaulted Sojusan yesterday after noon. Having carried these approaches to that height, the assailants intrenched themselves in the glaces of the forts. In the evening the left wing delivered an assault on Kekwan. fighting Its way to the lower parapet. There the Japanese held their ground stubbornly in the face of a Russian counter-attack. "Having been reinforced during the night, the Russians charged down upon the Japanese, and desperate hand-to-hand conflicts ensued. The Japanese beat back theenemy and destroyed two covered po sitions in the front moat. A Japanese substitute Lieutenant with 30 volunteers then succeeded in making his way to the rear xl the fort. There he engaged in a person U conflict, with a Russian officer and killed him." Having destroyed over two more defenses in the rear of the moat, the substitute Lieutenant withdrew his force with a loss of two men. "Later in the night the advanced posi tion of the Japanese was taken and re taken twice. The besiegers succeeded in holding the approaches and construct ing trenches, connecting them with the wmys front parallel. At dawn num bers of dead were visible on the slopes. I"ort "P," north of the new and old bat teries in the left center-of the line of the defense, was captured, as a result of the severe fighting of the night. . "These operations have successfully driven a "wedge into the Russian center. Severe explosions and extensive fires have occurred in the fortress within tho last Jew days. The total casualties of the late attacks by the Japanese were 1100. Over 600 were killed up to October 23. The spirit of the men is magnificent. The fir ing of all the guns is wonderfully effect ive. "The climax to the late bombardment camewbetween 4 and 6 o'clock Sunday af ternoon. It was a superb spectacle. Every fort of the enemy was engaged, and the fighting in the trenches was constant and severe. The outposts of the contending lorces were only 4.0 feet apart. At 1 o'clock this morning one of the Japanese trenches collapsed into a Russian gallery. The enemy being surprised under ground. fled In confusion. GREAT BATTLE APPEARS NEAR Armies on the Shakhe River Are In Close Touch. MUKDEN, Nov. 7. The Russian and Japanese armies extending from Bentsia putz east of the Llao River west at places are almost within a stone's throw of each other. At Bentslaputz not more than 400 yards separate the advance posts, and at Sinchinhou, on the Shakhe River, just west of the railway ana 15 miles south of Mukden, the Japanese and Russians occupy the extreme end of the village. At Huangshantz the Russian center has thrown advance posts across the Shakhe River. Both armies a:e still strengthen ing their positions all alongr the line. The slightest movement on either side is the signal for firing, which occasionally lasts all nleht. The .Russians are using six inch guns on the railway, which must ereatly harass the Japanese. Undoubtedly tho most lecislve, if not the greatest, battle r-f the year will bo fouirht in the vicinity of the Shakha River. The Russians are confident of their ability to hold their positions. 3 he soldiers are building nuts for "Winter Quarters. The nights continue cold, but the dsys ere bright and crisD. OFFICERS ARE CALLED OUT. Russia Will Meet Deficiency Result Ing From Recent 'Battles. rt -PETERSBURG. Nov. 7. The neces Blty for officers for service at the front has resulted ia the mobilization of all reserve officers in St. Petersburg, Vilna, -nr, tonr Ttieff. Odessa. Moscow. Kazan and the Caucasus. The loss of officers, at Llao Yang and below Mukden was about 1300. The mobilization, while intended to supply the deficiency, is also necessitated by the grand scale on which the war in , vt- "East Is to "be nrosecuted. The news from the front indicates that General Kuropatkin is devoting nls at onMnn hlpflv to keening the Japanese busy along the line of their fortifications below the Shakhe River. The Russians apparently aro enjoying some superiority in the matter of artil-ioT-tr ns muiv of the heavier field trains and mortar batteries are now arriving and being brought onto service.

Prominent Englishmen Know He Will Have a Firm Foreign Policy. SPECIAL CABLE. LONDON, Nor. 7. "Liberals .throughout Europe want to see Roosevelt elected. Reactionaries desire his i defeat," said, Herbert Eastwlck Ccmpton, "tho well- known historian, traveler and fiscal re former, this morning. "Englishmen," he continued, "are unanimously for Roose veU. They have nothing against Parker except that his personality Is Ill-defined and suggestive of negation, so far as in ternational affairs are concerned. Roose- elt, however, is positive with regard to" foreign affairs. "With him as President we expect America to exercise Its right ful influence "beyond the shore line of the American continent and beyond the wider boundaries of its nontenitorial sphere of dominion' Italy Favors Roosevelt. ROME, Nov. 8. Italian political circles are watching the Presidential contest in the United States with keen interest. They desire the success of Roosevelt, whose policy is highly appreciated as an element of International peace, justice. internal order, prosperity and political purity. The Vatican is also sympathetic toward Roosevelt, owing to his attitude with regard to the church in America and his straightforward dealing with the Fil ipino clergy. Official Russia Against Roosevelt. ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 8.-Offidal Russia Is against Roosevelt. It believes a Republican triumph would bo inimical to Russia in the Far East, since it would mean a vigorous extension of American interests in China, Besides the American spirit which would find frequent and strik ing expression in the event of Roosevelt s election emboldens Russian reformers. The autocracy grieves that diplomacy, once exclusively the affair of the Euro pean Chancellories, must now, always reckon with America. EASILY STOPS STUDENTS' RIOT Russian Police Exhibit Kindness, and Affair Ends In a Laugh. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 7. There was a small student disturbance at the Uni versity today, but it was handled in the same rational manner as the one at the Kaan Cathedral about ten days ago. and as a result the whole affair passed off without serious consequences. About 1000 university students divided Into two groups, one singing the Russian national anthem, and the other the "Marseillaise." The police appealed to the latter group to stop, and they agreed to do so if their opponents stopped. This was done, and the affair ended with a hearty laugh all around. The previous affair referred to above was organized on the occasion of the re quiem in tho Kazan Cathedral, on the an niversary of the death of Alexander III, the students making a demonstration in memory of the death in the Peter and Paul fortress of one of their number named Borskl. On this occasion Fulton, the Prefect of Police, ordered the police home and personally spoke to the stu dents, asking them to desist and disperse, which they did. There two incidents, small in them selves, have created much talk In St. Pe tersburg, owing to the methods of dealing with student disturbance, which Is attrib uted to the initiative of Prince Svlatopolk- Mtrsky, Minister of the Interior. The demonstrations were neither more nor les3 serious than many which in recent years were put down by charging Cossacks with lowered lances. Much pleasure is also ex pressed with the announcement of the resumption of Prince Sviatopolk-Mlrsky's public receptions. CUBAN CONGRESS OPEN.
