At the International Congress of Arts and Science in St Louis on September 4, Professor Hugo de Vries of Amsterdam challenged Darwin’s origin of species.

Japanese Press Toward Port Arthur After Sept. 19
Chofoo Sept. 28 Japanese forces press near Port Arthur after a six day battle begun September 19. They captured several forts guarding the north northeast and northwest approaches and seized control of the town’s water supply fort Europatian. Russian sources claim heavier Japanese losses, while Chinese reports show lower casualty counts. Fort Teuiropitkin and other positions fell, signaling a potentially decisive advance. If Rhilung Kikwan or Itz and Anshu forts are captured, Port Arthur's doom could be sealed.
