was wonderful. It is entirely owing
to Dodd'B Kidney Pills that I axa now

Many doctors still maintain that
Diabetes is incurable. But Diabetes is
a kidney disease and the kidney diBeaee

MUST ATTACK
Japanese Officials Insist Port1
Arthur Be Taken.
RUSSIA READY FOR BAD NEWS
Certain That Stocsscl Will Make the
Assault One or the Costliest
In World's History.
Washington, Nov. 28. Tho Assoc!
ated Press-learnB on excellent authority
that the Japanese army Iibb received
orders to renew its attack on Port Ar
thur and to tako tho main fortifications
at any coat.
Prepared for Bad News;
8t. Petersburg, Nov. 28. Thero 1r a
lack of news from tho front today. The
report that the' Japanese aro concen
trating their energies for a desperate
assault on Port Arthur, in view of the
approach of tho Baltic squadron, is
quite generally credited in official quar
ters. Such a move has been expected
to transpire as soon as the Japanese
learned that tho squadron's trip was
a-reality and no mere demonstration.
The authorities are prepared to hear
terrible reports of the projected assault.
Whilo not hazarding a gueae whether
tho fortress can bo carried, for the be
siegers are utterly regaidlees of life,
they are confident that General Stoesse)
will be ablo to make such an attack
one of the costliest in hietory.
Russians Lack Ammunition.
London, Nov. 28. The Post's
Shanghai correspondent cables that,
according to reliable information re
ceived there, the gunB at Port At thur
have been silent for the past few daye
.owing to lack of ammunition. Thif
sudden turn for the worse in tho con
dition of the defenders of the fortress
has been caused by the recent blowing
up of the most important magazine by
Japanese shells.
STARVATION IS NEAR.
Sassuns Population of Turkey
Is in
a Terrible Condition.
Washington, Nov. 28. A story of
sickness, hunger and starvation has
come to the state department from Mr.
Norton, the American consul at Har-
poot, in a report upon the condition of
the Sassun population in Mush district.
The consul says that of the 10,000 sur
vivors of the recent massacre, few have
saved anything but their lives. Nearly
every house in the region was ran Backed
and burned.
Extracts from the report were made
public at the state department today in
the hope that the- ead story may bring
relief to the unfortunate Sassuns.
"Worst of all." Mr. Norton says,
their flocks and herds, practically the
only eouice of food, raiment and in
come, were swept away.
"These unfortunates, after receiving
for a short time an allowance from the
government of 1 cent per capita per day
for subsistence, are now without food
and without a prospect of food for the
coming, win tor. The diseases usually
following upon fright, exposure, ex
haustion and insufficient food-are rap
idly becoming epidemic;.
WOULD MAKE WAR IMPOSSIBLE
Britain Believed to favor Re-Enact
ment of Olney-Pauncefote Treaty
Glasgow, Nov. 28. The Glasgow
Herald comments on the fact that the
mutual acceptance of tbo Angio-Amer
ican treaty was announced on Novem
ber 0, but that it has not yet been
signed. The paper conjectures that the
delay may be due to the inclination of
both governments to bring about a re-
enactment of the Olney- Pauncefote
treaty of 1807, there being unmistak
able evidence that the advisability of
such a course is being considered.
While the treaty of 1807 may not fit
present conditions iu its entirety, it
would be an easy matter, the paper
says, to change it accordingly, retain
ing, however, those piovisions which
are largely in excess of the bonda cre
ated between the United States and
other countries by the various treaties
now pending. If this course were
taken, the Herald says, war between the
United States and Great Britain' would
be almost an impossibility
Urges Russia' Make Treaty.
8t. Petersburg, Nov. 28. The Bourse
Gazette, reviyes the question- of a new
commercial tieaty with the United
States The paper says it notes with
satisfaction that the negotiation of
commercial treaties forms a part of
President Roosevelt's program for the
coming administration, and that the
consummation is grealy to be desired
between1 Russia and America. Commer
cial wars, the Gazette adds, are in the
long run almost at) costly and disas
trous as armed hostilities, and equally'
useless and unnecessary.
Arbitration Treaty Signed.
Washington, Nov", 25, The Amercan
Gerinan arbitration treaty was signed
this morning at tho State department
by Becretaiy Hay and Baron Von Stern
berg, the German ambassador. It in
identical with the American-Frenoh
treaty; As he lefy the State depart

his hearty ratislaction at the treaty. "It

MURIrER' IS RIPE.'
Crime Greatly on the Increase In the
United States.
New York, Nov. 26 .There at pres
ent fouraad a half times Mmany mur
ders and homicides for each 1,000,000
people in the United States aa there
were in 1881. With this statement of
fact, based upon statistics, S. S. Mc-
Clure makes a Btattling showing of the
inrrpnpp of lawlessness in this country,
and follows with, a stinging criticism of
the reign of "criminal oligarchy," 01
chronio infraction of tho law by many
classes, of general failure in the en
forcement of the statutes, tp which
causes tbo condition is attributed,
Comments on the prevalence of crimo
and lawlessness taken alinoat ati andom
from representative and Berious news
papers and from published statements
of judges and citizens form the sup
porting evidence.
In tho United States last year there
woro 8,976 murders and homicides in a
population of about 80,000,000. In
1881, when the population was 51,316,-
000, tliore woro only 1,266 crimes- of
this class. The high record was reach
ed in 1896, when there were 10,654
murders and homicides in a popjuatton
of 70,000,000. In 1800 conditions Im
proved, but sinco then they have stead-
ly grown woiso.
Conditions in Chicago aro strik'inciy
set forth by comparisons with tho crim-
nal records of the two leading cities ol
EuroDe. London, with an area of 688
square miles ard a population of 0,600,
600, had 24 murders last year. There
was no "undiscovered crime," as 'the
murdnrers were all arrested except in
four cases, where they committed
suicide.
Chicago, with less than one-third of
the population and area, covered by the
London or metropolitan police, had 128
homicides. In 18 cases the murderers
were killed at the time of !e crime or
committed suicide; four other cases
were those of officers who did the kill
ing in the performance of their duties,
leaving 103 cases (or tho police to work
upon. Out of that number 84 convic
tions were secured, while in lOcaees no
arrests were made, and in 53 cases ar
rests aid not result in conviction. Only
one man was hanged in Chicago.
In Paris only 15 murders or attempt
ed murders were committed in the same
period. More than eight times as
many murders in Chicago as in Paris,
and six times as many aa in London.
Theloss of life tbiough crimo is
made more prominent when compared
with fatahtea in war and on railroads
In three years the homicides in the
United States numbered 31,395. Tbo
Britifh loss in the Boer war was 22,
000. In the same period there wore
killed on railroads 21,847..
t Labor troubles the burning of ne
groes, lawlessness in Colorado, riots
and murders in New York are referred
to in detail.
Distinguished jurieta and educators
are quoted as saying, that tho. increase
in lawlessness endangers the future of
the nation.
MANY MEN FALL.
Japanese Suf ter a Severe Repulse at
Port Arthur.
Mukden', Nov. 26. The Japanese
made a fresh attack on Poutiloff hill
the night of November 22. The ad
vancing, ranks were decimated by the
Rnssian Bhell fire. Some of the Japan
ese secured lodgment on the "slopes oi
the hill, but were driven out- at the
point of1 the bayonet, when the whole
Japanese contingent fled. A similar
attempt was made the same night south
of Erdagzou, which was also repulsed
Tith' a bayonet' charge. The Japanese
lost heavily, while the Russian loss
was 30 killed. A band of 1,500 Chi
neso bandits, with b!x guns, under Jap
anese officers, coming from the1 direc
tion of the Liao" river, was in conflict
with three sotmaB of border scouts near
Kaiuan early on the morning of No
vember 23. The scouts charged with
out giving the bandits' battery time to
come into action. The bandits made
feeble resistance and fled in all direc
tions, leaving 200 of their number
dead. The Russian loss waB trifling.
A Japanese-column of two companies
attempted to penetrate the Russian'
east flank on November 23, but they
were met by two separate divisions of
Russian cavalry and driven off with
severe loss.
