Japanese Caii Not Ueach Fort ress lu Face of Deadly Mnvhlne Guns Tenacity of Desperate Soldiers. Chefoo, Nov. 10. Its mountain, ac cording to Chinese, 120 of whom r rived hero today from Port Arthur, Is proving costly obstacle to the Japa nese, On the mornings ot November S and t fierce assaults on the position were made by the Japanese who were repulsed. During the second assault a shell, soaring over the other hills from Paltchung dropped on Its moun tain and demolished a land mine con trolling the station and exploded other mines. The Russians were holding the trenches on the boundary of the mined sections. Six or seven hundred were killed. The Japanese, having not reached the place, were unhurt. Its mountain owes the best part of Its strength to the peculiar topography of the surrounding country which pre vents a direct artillery fire and does not enable the Japanese to advance trenches with the success evident else where. The Japanese advanced on It In both Instances from behind distant hills with the fullest force the ground would allow but In the long distance which they were compelled to traverse In the face of machine guns their ranks were melted. Both times the Japa nese broke the wire entanglements In places. One soldier with a leg torn off was seen trying to bite the wires. Arranging for Loan to Japan. London.

S ROWE, General Ajtnt 134 Third Street Portland TELLS OF DISCOVERY. Alaskan Indian Saw lll-Fated Steamer Go to the Bottom. Yaldea, Nov. 10. Though nearly a year has elapsed, the exact time, place and manner of the loss ot the Ill-fated Alaska steamer Discovery Is just now known. This Interesting In formation comes from Chief John, of the Uttuya bay tribe of Indiana Chief John was perhaps the last person living to see the Discovery afloat The old Indian stated that the vesse was foundering when he saw her No vember ! the day after she left Takutat Apparently her officers were trying to put Into Uttuya bay, but seemingly they had no control over the vessel. An awful storm raged at the time. The Discovery, seemingly waterlogged, pitched and rolled. Phe would plunge down bow first and al most sink from view, then rise and go down astern. For nearly an hour Chief John saw her laboring, when she disappeared altogether while round lng the point on the southern side of Llttuya bay. At the time the wind was blowing a living gnle. Heavy seas were running and so angrily that no small craft, had any been there, would have dared to venture out. Chief John says that there can be no doubt that the Discovery went down while rounding the southern part of Littuya bay and that every person on board of her must have perished. The old native Is regarded as truthful and trustworthy not only by the people of his tribe, but the whites as well. The Discovery sailed October 15. 1903, from Nome for Seattle. She had upwards of thirty passengers on board when she left Nome, but many of them left the vessel at Sand Point, Kodlak and Valdes. Takutat was the last port made by the Discovery. AN ICE JAM AT DAWSON. Rising Wster Starts Upheaval and City's Fire Engines 8wept Away. Dawson, Nov. 10. Ice Jammed In front of Dawson Sunday morning and remained closed until early this morn lng. The river rising gradually caused an upheaval of the Ice, sweep lng all but one of the fire engines In the Dawson fire department, the steamer Lightning, various scows and 200 cords of wood on the waterfront down the river. Engine No. 2, located In a covered scow on the shore of the river, broke the cables like strings. The scow was carried down stream a quarter of a mile and Is now In the middle of the river nearly opposite the city. En gine No. 1, more centrally situated In front of the town, had the hardest shaking up, but finally was made fast a few blocks below. Engine No. S, on a scow, was carried nearly to the northern limits of the city. The steamer Lightning was carried about a mile below the city and la now jammed near the bluff of Moesehide Hill. Dawson's winter wood supply was piled on the beach when the water rose, and much was lost. The Balva tion Army's gasoline sawmill was partly submerged. When the jce finally stopped rising it left Dawson with only one engine available In case of fire. TRADERS IN OISTRESS. Said to be Without Food as Result of Mineola Wreok. Han Francisco, Nov. 10. There Is report current In the city that the fur tinders In the. stations along the Okhotsk sea must be Hourly starving to death, as the Ill-fated steamer Mineola failed to reach those stations. According to the story, the vessel haj visited some three stations and vv.ia on her way to the Okhotsk sea when she was wrecked. For years this port has been supply ing the men at these stations, with food, and If by any chance provisions fall to reach them they have no way to get food. It Is said by those who know the conditions in those lonely places that the wretched fur traders are abso lutely dependant on the outer world for the necessities of life, as they have no means by which they can kill game, if by chance there Is any game to kill. It Is thought that for this reason there will be sent another vessel to those waters, which will be laden with provisions for the unhappy fur trad ers. A Ban Francisco firm has hud this business for many years and has been chartering vessels for this trade, This trade has, however, increased so largely that It ts contemplated to have a regular line of steamers to trade with those far northern Asiatic sens. The crew of the Mineola is ex peeled here soon on the steamship Manchuria. FRENCHMEN TO BANK FOR CHINA Ready to Supply Funds to Handle Gov rnment Banking Business. Shanghai. Nov. 10. The attempts of the Chinese government to supply an Impertul bank tor China having failed, owing to the distrust prevalent among the natives In regard to entering Into anything which savors of government control, French officials and merchants are negotiating with the Chinese cen tral authorities with the object In lew of advancing the funds necessary for the purpose. M. Chnsenlon, a retired Shanghai merchant. Is representing the Iiunque do Paris in the enterprise, and It Is es timated that he has spent 60,000 tails presents to officials to secure his object. The promoters offer to start a bank with 10.000,000 taels with the pro viso that the manager and the chief accountant shall be French. If they are successful In Inaugurating this banking enterprise, its Influence on the trade of other countries will be con siderable, the full extent of which may estimated when it Is understood that all moneys of the board of revenue must be lodged In the projected bank China.
