Japanese Frogress at Port Arthur.
Tokio, 25th September. The Japanese on the zoth inst. occupied six Russian entrenchments besides the Kuropatkin fort at Port Arthur, and on the following day an important height about a mile and ä-half west
of Shuirzeying, and the reservoir which was protected by the Kuropatkin fort.
**The Kuropatkin fort was built by the Special order of that General, who, when he examined all the forts in and around Port Arthur, remarked to General Stossel that the other forts were strung, but it was a great defect that such an important point as the reservoir was not protected at all. Thereafter a very strong fort, south of Shuiszeying, was briedly constructed and given the name of the Commander-in-Chief.-ED.

SIPATOIP NÖLES,
THE PROJECTED RAILROAD.
(From an Occasional Correspondent.)
Swatow, October 1.
The projected railway from here to Chao- choufu has already aroused the antagonism of the junkmen and their friends. They have woke up to the fact that, when completed, the line will be a serious menace to their liveli hood. For more years than one would care to count, the junks have had the monopoly of carrying goods and produce up the river to wards the interior, and it is only natural that their ire should be somewhat aroused when
they see their living so greatly threatened. The new line has already been surveyed and fagged out; but no sooner are the little flags and posts planted than they mysteriously dis- appear in the night. It does not require much acumen to guess the culprits. The promoters, however, are determined that the scheme shall go through and work has been commenced. With the benevolent assistance of the Taotai, and the judicious tact of those in charge of the operations, it is believed that the hostility will soon die out. In the meantime, a great deal of solid, quiet work is being done, and all are sanguine that it will eventually be brought to
a successful conclusion.

In this quiet, although busy outport, we do not have muck excitement; but a short time ago, there really was a stirring scene on the bund, An engineer from one of the vessels unloading took offence with one of the coolies and struck him heavily with his stick. He promptly retaliated by knocking the European down? Another engineer quickly came to the rescue, but before he could do anything was served likewise. In an instant there collected an angry crowd of coolies, and it was only by drawing revolvers that the two Europeans were able to return to their ship. By this time the clamouring for the men who had escaped. No sooner did the news of what had happened get to the men who were unloading the vessel than they struck in a body and made for the pantoon and the shore.
