Kuropatkln reports that the night of Nov. 27 passed quietly at Tslnk-hetchen, but that the Japanese, resumed the offensive at 7 o'clock this morning on the Russian left flank. BT. PETERSBURG. Nov.

p. The war office has received Information from Che Koo that the Japanese assault en Port Arthur Saturday, was repulsed with enormous losses. LONDON, Nov. 28. No further news from Port Arthur has been received, beyond reports from Shanghai that the storming of the Russian stronghold continues.

According to the Dally Telegraph's dispatch from Che Foo, very few of Admiral Togo's ships are seen blockading Port Arthur. TOKIO, Nov. 29. It Is reported that the attack against 203 Meter Hill by Japanese light artillery Is succeeding. It is estimated that 90 per cent of the work of the complete occupation of Port Arthur will be finished with this height In the possession of the Japanese.

No part of the harbor of Port Arthur will then be concealed from the Japanese. WITH THE RUSSIAN FORCES AT SHEXKING, Nov. 28. The attack by the Japanese upon General Rennen-kampff's position on November 24, resulted In three days' fighting at Tslnkhetchen, near Da pass. Though the Japanese have been repulsed the fighting still continues.

The Japanese have succeeded In placing several big Blege guns In position, with which they will be able to seriously harass the Russians. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 28. General Sakharofl today telegraphs as follows: "The Japanese attack on Tslnkhetchen was checked by our artillery lire and the fighting ceased at 6 o'clock in the evening of November 27.

At no point did the enemy advance nearer than within six hundred paces of our positions. In the midst of the battle a blinding snow storm caused a suspension of hostilities, and when the weather cleared at 3 o'clock in the afternoon a turning movement against our right flank was observed." ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 2S.

General Kuropatkln reports that there has been active skirmishing on the left flank for three days. The opinion is now expressed by the general staff that the Japanese Intend taking the offense, as they can not afford to wait till the Russians are further reinforced. It Is held that the fighting to the eastward Is doubtless with the purpose of rinding out the Russian position preparatory to an advance In that direction; but as there are about 7.000 Russian troops southwest of Sintslnlln, where fighting occurred November 2fi, and probably twice as many more In the mountains between Bentsiaputza and Sintslntin. any Japanese move from this quarter would entail serious At the same time correspondents it the front continue to scout the Idea of serious fighting being Imminent, OF NO GREAT IMPORTANCE. Three Days' Fight Merely an Advance Guard Affair.

MI'KPEN. Nov. 2S. There seems to be undue importance attached to the three flays' fight between the Japanese and General Kennenkampff'H men. It was In reality an unimportant advance guard affair, In which tlm Japnese were repulsed with a loss of loo men.

This advance of the Japanese against Da pass need not be considered as a big flanking movement toward Tie pass, which so many Imagine Is the route the Japanese Intend to take. Koth the Japanese armies ere united near Mukden, and, as heretofore, are simply awaiting developments. The weather Is warmer and there la less wind. The navigation of the Ltao river will close within a day or so. KUROPATKIN HAS AUTO.

Ravolr, who arrived here today from Mukden. M.

Ravolr spent three weeks with Kuropatkln, who wished to secure twenty au-jomoblles specially constructed to carry ammunition speedily in emergencies. Ho will use them only in winter when thn Manchurlsn mads are In excellent condition. On his first trip in the new automobile Kuropatkin's only comment was: have the advantage of General Shatter. The Chinese now regard Kuropatkln and his machine with superstitious awe, believing the latter to he an atrociously powerful specimen of the "foreign devil." M. Ravolr said: "The two armies lie facing each other, each having three fortified lines.

The soldiers of both armies live mostly in caves, behind their trenches, which when covered with snow have the appearance of a great host of polar bears waiting to spring at each other. The caves are warm even without fire. The Russian troops are In the best of spirits and have unlimited confidence In their leaders. They expect Kuropatkln to attack during the winter. The Russian forces now number men.

WOULD-BE SLEUTHS BAFFLED CLUMSY THEORY FALLS INTO PIECES AT A TOUCH. THOMAS' RECORD IS CLEAN Investigation at His Former Home In Ohio Shows That Hia Record Is a Good One.

OMAHA. Nov. 28. (Special.) Among the theories upon which the police department has been working in connection with the Thomas case, so it has developed today, is the idea that possibly Mr. Thomas himself set the bomb and attempted to destroy his own home and family.

With the purpose of getting evidence In substantiation of this supposition the chief of police has been in communication with the authorities of Ironton, Ohio, Mr. Thomas' boyhood home. Unfortunately for the building up of the theory Chief Donahue learned nothing from the Ironton chief of police which would tend to Injure the standing of Mr. Thomas In this community or that would warrant the belief that he himself placed the dynamite bomb at his own front door, on the other hand the Information was obtained that Thomas was a member of one of the best and oldest families In Ironton, and that he was highly esteemed there. Mr.

Thomas' father, Mr. John N. Thomas, is an Ironton resident. Mr. Thomas is still busily engaged in prosecuting the case against the police department, not deterred In the least by the cowardly attack upon his home.

The second hearing of the charges which was to have been had this evening before the fire and police board, however, was postponed on account of the inability of L. K. Fay of Clinton, Iowa, one of the principal witnesses, to be present. THOMAS' WORK BEARS FRUIT. W.
