During the whole of the time the smaller Japanese ves- aels were strewing floating mines which however were easily avoided by the Rus sians. The firing lasted about one hour and a half and there was then a cessation on the Japanese side, only to be rosurned a little later, owing to tho changed standing place of the sun.
At this stago the Ozarevitch received a shot in the conning tower which damaged the steering gear and rendered the ship unmanageable: She involuntarily changed her direction, the other ships of the fleet, which had been ordered to follow her, do- ing likewise, and, no signal of the accident being made thus being thrown into con- fusion, until the reason was ascertained.

FTER seven yours' martyrom to the
Acrils of sluggish liver, Mr Joseph Atwell, a Railway ganger of 8, Holly Bush- terrace, Glyn Neath near Aberdare, Wales, was recently cured by Chas. Forde's Bile Beans for Biliousness. He is a member of the local Baptist Church, and has many friends there who can vouchsafe for the accuracy of the following interesting state-
mont
All my life, and more especially during the last seven years,' said Mr Atwell, Ï have suffered greatly from the sluggish action of my liver. On a morning I felt languid, weary, and oppressed, and had great difficulty in making myself get up to go to work-ot that I really desired to shirk it, but rather because I was altogether I had to avoid pastry and all out of sorts. heavy foods for fear of indigestion and biliousness and plain bread and buttor with a small piece of mutton was my best fare. More would have produced fearful agony, and even as it was I was often un- well after a meal. My face was covered with pimples and blotches, some of the The dulness spots being as large na peas. which overcame me I could on no account shake off, and I was exhausted with the least effort.
• Last year I lost three months work, and the winter before that I was stopped for a similar period. No less than twelve doctors in the Abordare and Neath Valleys, and one in Leeds (Yorkshire), tried in vain to cure me. Bottle after bottle of medicine I took without effect. At Leeds, I have a son, who sends me the Leeds Mercury,' and in that paper I noticed a report of a had case like mine that had been cured by Chas. Forde's Bile Beans. I doubted whether it was worth while spending any more money on such an apparently hopeless case as mine was, but at last I thought that I would just try once again, and went in for a course of the Beans. I soon saw good reason to be grateful for the chance to try the medicine, for with the first box my hope revived. I felt quite different. I began to want my food, to appreciate it when I got it, and to feel benefit when I had eaten it. There was none of the old pauses after meals, and no nasty sense of fulness. Of course I went on with the Beans, and now having completed the treat- ment I am in the best of health, strength, and spirits. I can eat pastry now without the alightest discomfort. At our Chapel tea only recently I ate as much cake and sweet stuff as anybody, and it never affected me. I always get a thorough rest through the night now, and get up in the morning like a lark. Every trace of my old ailments
has disappeared, including the pimples and the blotches. My thanks are due entirely to Chas. Fordo's Bile Beans, which cured

After some days spent in the latter city, during which they were not allowed outside, they came to Hongkong by steamer. On the way down the complainants learned that they were to be sent to Singapore. On the steamer, between hetween Canton and Hongkong, one of the women told a follow passenger that they were boing taken away against their will, and through her the matter came to the knowledge of the police. The women were taken to a board- ing house in Connaught Road where they were found by the officers the night after their arrival. The caso had not concluded when our report closed.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 19. The Japanese have resumed the bom hardment of the fortress by sen and land. land fortifications in front of the harbor The fleet is now approaching closer to the mouth and is apparently inflicting great damage.
On the landward side the guns appear to be clearing the way for a general assault.
A press dispatch which has reached London intimates that the conditions within the fortress, while desperato, are yet not such as to render the place incapable of further defence, and warning is given not to expect a top speedy surrender on the part of the garrison.

COTTONTM CULTIVATION.
What the Government is Doing. Recently we had occasion to refer to the advisability of the Government taking in hand the experiment of cotton-growing in the Now Territory.. We pointed out that in all probability great suocess would attend the experiment if it were con- ducted under the direct supervision of the Botanical and Afforestation Department. We now learn that such is to be done.
The Government having placed a sum of money on the estimates for the purpose of testing the suitability of the New Ter ritory the work is to be taken in hand by the Botanical and Afforestation Depart ment in the coming spring
Mr 8. T. Dunn, Superintendent of the Department, informed a representative of the China Mail, who waited on him this morning, that the money voted by the Government was to be spent in purchasing cotton seed, a part of which would be ex. perimented with under the direct super- vision of the Department, and the balance distributed amo git the farmors of the Now Territory who were willing to under- take cotton cultivation.
It had been suggested to the Department that some special ind cement should be held out to the farmers in the way of prizes, but that phase of the question had not yet been gone into by the departinont. It is my opinion,' said Mr Dunn, that unless the farmers can so that they will be per- manently benefited by the cultivation of cotton they are not likely to take it up. The amount of agricultural ground available oven in the New Territory is very limited, and, of course, to the Chinese farmer rica is of paramount importance.

Referring to the on a valley covered with green and yellow is ideal.

And soundless over the mow, In the track of the quivering horses,
The loping land-wolves go. But fleater the noiseless forefoot
And thicker the sea-fog grey, Where gathering close in the darkness
The sea-wolves prowl for prey. Swift as the hurrying tempest,
Hued like the folding mist, Gallop the spectral sea-wolves, Ranging where'er they list, And doomed is the helpless transport,

They circle in on the track. And how can she hope to cheat them,
Deep ladon, laboring through, When for each league she covers
The sea-wolves cover two.
Nearer they loom, and nearer;
The curtain of night is drawn, And ravening, slavering, ruthless,
They leap at her throat at dawn. One glance to the far horizon;

And the pack sweeps on once more. And now they have c'en, emboldened,
Drawn near to the harbor gates;
