DRIVEN OVER THE HUN RIVER Crar's Soldiers Compelled to Retreat After a Desperate Engagement Lasting 72 Hours Mukden In Wild Confusion. LONDON. Dec 12. An unofficial report t-om Port Arthur, according- to a Toklo Upatch to the Dally Mall, says the Jap anese torpedo-boat destroyers attacked tho Russian battleship Sevastopol at the I mouth of the harbor the night of Decem ber Swlth -what result Is not known. )he Dally Telegraph's correspondent before Port Arthur reports, under date of December 9. that there were desperate encounters last week. The belligerents, tb -"rrespondent adds, mutually recog r.!ze the Red Cross, and collect the dead find wounded during temporary suspen sions of fighting. The Dally Telegraph's Tientsin corre spondent learns from official Japanese sources that the Japanese casualties at Port Arthur the latter part of October were 30X killed and 10,000 wounded. The losses In more recent attacks, tho corre spondent adds, were much heavier. The same correspondent has heard that continual fighting is proceeding south of 21ukden. 3 The correspondent at Shanghai of the Dall Telegraph, in a dispatch dated De cember 11. says that, according to Pekin reports, the Russians have retreated to the south bank of the Hun River, after T? hours' fighting, with heavy losse.. On the fourth day of the fighting, the corre spondent says, the Japanese assumed the offensive. The Mukden station Is reported to be in a wild state of confusion. The Daily Telegraph thinks the authenticity of the reports from Chinese sources of heavy fighting is very doubtful. FLEET MAY NEVER GET OUT. Russian Vessels Badly Battered by Japanese Fire. TOKIO. Dec. 11 (4 P. M.)-The batter ing pf the Port Arthur fleet continues, and there is but little ground for expect ing that It Trill ever again engage the Japanese. The battleship Sevastopol con tinues at anchor outside, and it Is pos sible that she returns to the harbor at "'grit. Her anchorage is inside the outer boom, which protects her from torpedo attacks, besides the heavy weather re centls has given her added protection. Naval experts are discarding the theory that the Russians sank any ships them selves Tho fact that the vessels first showed lists, the exposed positions of the sunken vessels and the efforts of tho Russians to save the Sevastopol are re garded as conclusive against the theory cf self-sinking. A majority of the sunken warships lie headed northward. They received the bulk of the fire across their port sides. The fact that at least two "showed lists to starboard gives rise to the theory that the Japanese shells exploding inside tho ships, against the starboard armor, drove the armor outward, causing leaks. In order to ond the question .of their fu ture availability, the Japanese are com pelled to drop shells into the sunken hulks. The whereabouts of the torpedo-boat destroyers continue doubtful. It is thought they haveiaken shelter outside. The weathor prevents a .good observation, "but the Japanese are .sending a searching fire Into nooks which cannot Te observed from 203-Meter Hill and other heights. Observers report that a number of tugs, launches, dredges and small -craft have anchored near the hospital ships 'In. the west harbor, evidently for the purpose cf obtaining protection. It Is suggested that the besiegers notl f Ueutenant-General Stoessel to separ ate these vessels from the hospital ships or take the consequences. The Japanese pre exercising care to avoid hitting the hospital ships which are frequently In the- direct line of fire. THIRD FLEET FOR ORIENT. Admiral Silotl, of Naval Staff, Has Arrived at Decision. SPECIAL, CABLE. LONDON, Doc. ll.-The St. Petersburg correspondent of the' Daily Mall wires that Admiral Siloti, of the naval staff, has derided to dispatch a third fleet to the Far East. This report flatly contradicts Informa tion cabled from St. Petersburg as offi cial a few days ago to the effect that Admiral Rojrstvensky would not be rein forced by any of the warships now avail able and belonging to the Black Sea fHiadron, whlchjs securely bottled up In the Black Sea. It was then stated that many naval authorities believed that sev eral ships now available and others In course of construction should be gotten ready for active service and sent in small detachments after the Baltic squadron, with a view of insuring the success of Admiral Rojestvensky's mission. The truth of these reports was officially denied, and It was added that no attempt would be made to get the Black Sea fleet out of the Black Sea. 4 ZERO WEATHER IN MANCHURIA Armies Have First Touch of Frosty Winter. GENERAL. KUROKI'S HEADQUAR TERS IN THE FIELD, Dec. 11, via Fusan, Dec. 12. The army has had Its first taste of the real quality of a Man churian Winter the past week. Last night the thcrmometor fell to six degrees below zero, Fahrenheit. The days are cold also, but sunshine and the absence of severe winds makes life tolerable. The hills are covered with snow, which en th plain is pne Inch in depth. All streams are thickly frozen. Mediation- After the Fall. SPECIAL CABLE. VIENNA, Dec. 12. The Neu Freie Presse claims to possess unimpeachable information that the fall of Port Arthur will be followed by mediation. The Informant of the paper Is stated to be a diplomat of hlgl) authority- December 9. but slackened after a few hours without a direct attack. It Is reported at Mukden that the Japr anese are largely colonizing Southern Manchuria. It is said they are sending there several million emigrants and that they are also sending many young Chinese from Manchuria to Japan, paying their traveling- expenses. Colonization of Manchuria. ST.

HUNTING FOE PAT CE0WE. Noted Outlaw Believed to Be Hiding Near St. Joseph, Mo. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Dec 1L A force of policemen. Deputy Sheriffs and detectives has been scouring the Missouri River, bottom lands north of St Joseph today for the hiding place of Pat Crowe and Sam (alias "Horse Thief") Johnson, who met Detectives "Wilson and Wheeler early this morning and exchanged a fusillade of shots with the outlaws. Both officers axo confident that one of the men was wounded during the exchange of shots. The men are belici'ed to be still hiding In the. dense brush of the bottom lands. Late yesterday afternoon the secret service department received a tip from a reliable source that Pat Crowe, the' much-wanted alleged Cudahy kidnaper, was at the home of Charles Christian. Detectives Wheeler and Wilson were de tailed on the case. Driving to the local ity, the two officers secreted themselves in the sandhills southwest of Christian's house. However, nothing was seen of the men until early this morning. After lying on the ground -the officers became chilled, and started to draw a trifle closer to the Christian home. Just at that moment two men were seen to leave the side doorway. In the dense darkness it was impossible to recognize either. The two detectives posted them selves at an advantageous position at tho roadside. As tho two men came withln ten paces, both officers stepped to the road. "Throw up your hands; we are officers," exclaimed AVIlson. A curso and a volley of shots were the answer. Both officers opened fire with rifles. The two men sprang from the road, firing rapidly, and emptying their guns, and escaped In the darkness. Bribery Jury Cannot Agree. GRAND RAPIDS.

The throne had been erected behind the high altar and chair of St Peter, having a device of rays of gold with a picture of the Trinity in tho center. Altogether the throne took up a space of 90 by 70 feet Four banners hung- under the dome, allow ing the chief miracles of the nw Saints. The Papal procession met In tho SIstlne Chapel, entering the Basilica by the Chapel of the Holy Sacrament. Tho Pope, in the full pontifical costume, was carried in uic seaia gestatoria with Its historic fans.

PANAMA CANAL PLAN APPROVED French Engineer Says That Eventu ally It Will Be Brought to Sea Level. PARIS. Dec 11. Philippe Bunau-Varilla. who before being Minister of Panama to Washington, was the principal onglnocr of the Panama Canal, gives an authorized Interview relative to the building of the canal at sea level. According to M. Bunau Varilla, the construction of the canal at sea level is not only possible, but It must ultimately be so constructed, as are other connections between oceans, like the Straits of Bosphorus. between the Black Sea and the Egean .Sea,. Asked if. the Panama Canal ought to be constructed at once at sea level, M. Bunau-Barilla re plied: "Not at all. To be at perfect sea level, the canal must be free from any artificial work; and there Is perhaps no engineer who would be willing to accept the re sponsibility of building It Immediately without dams on the Upper Chagres to regulate the floods, and without tldelocks at Panama to counteract In the canal the currents due to the ten-foot tide from the Pacific The notion of a free discbarge from the Chngres In a lockless sea-level canal must result from experience, which would be acquired by working a lock canal with a central lake, such as that-1 devised in 1S32, and which was adopted by the Isthmian- Canal Commission In 1901. "The construction of such a canal would give-, experimental data about the neces sary cross-section of the canal, about the slopes pf "the deep cut at Culebra and about thVsedlmentajB-rthcr Chagr.es, all of which are essential for building a sea level passage- successfully. As to cfiang Ing from, the lock to the" sea level form. I gave In 18S7 a solution which I com municated recently to Admiral Walker. It Is an easy, practical and cheap method of gradually transforming the lock-canal into a sea-level canal without stopping navigation flvo minutes. It utilizes for the sea-level canal all tho work done for the lock-canal, except, naturally, dams and' locks. "This solution entirely protects the fu ture. In one word, I think It would be. a great error to begin with the sea-level plan at once. It would cost $100,000,000 more, and require twice as much time. The lock plan will be amply sufficient until the traffic reaches 40.000,000 tons that Is to say, seven times the probable traffic in the first year's operation aid will lead by experimental and secure ways to an ideal solution of a sea-level pass age." RECKLESS TARGET PRACTICE. Captain of American Liner Protests to British Authorities. LONDON, Dec 11. Captain Mills, of the American Line steamer Philadelphia, has ordered a protest against reckless target practice carried on off Plymouth. He says that as he approached the har bor on Saturday with nearly 1000 persons on board, their saTety was endangered by a gunboat which persisted In firing even after tho patrol launch apprised the gunboat of the liner's approach. Captain Mills adds that he was obliged twice to stop and go full speed astern to avoid disaster. For Relief of London Poor. LONDON, Dec 11. Lord Major Pound has issued 'an appeal for funds for the relief of the unemployed of London.

R. & N. has closed a contract with tho Hurst Manufacturing Company for the installation of a trial specimen of its automatic switch. The new Invention will be placed in the O. R. & N. track near the city. Inside of the next six weeks, and will be given an exhaustive tost by tho company, after which. If it is successful, it will be Installed throughout the system. or at least In those districts whore the in vention would be most serviceable. Tho Hurst automatic "switch is so ar ranged that tho engineer of a moving train can open it and run his train on a sidetrack even though he Is going at a rapid rate. At the same time, after the train has passed onto the swlth, an auto matic attachment working from the rear of the train will close tho switch and leave the track in the same condition that It was before tho train reached tho place. This will prove very useful In freight switching, as it will do away to a great degree with the work of tho switch tender, and will save time, as the train will not have to stop and wait for tho brakeman to open the switch or for him to catch the rear of the train after hav ing closed a main-line switch when pulling from the siding. The new Invention Is worked with com pressed air drawn from the same com partment used for storing the supply feed ing the brakes. PERSONAL MENTION. Mrs. William Dollar, of Coeur d'Alene.
