The Boer General does not at first sight strike

ever, one notices that the rubbed beard hides a
determined chin and cruel mouth His eyes are
small and ferretty of steelt blue color and over
hung with bushy eyebrows. His features like those
OF most Beers of a certain age, rugged and
deeply wrinkled. He stands about feet 10 inches

THE DEVELOPMENT OF PORT ARTHUR.

St. Petersburg correspondence of The London
Globe
The Governor General of Port Arthur Vice-Ad-
mira Alexeif has set to work vigorously in his
EFFORTS to develop Port Arthur. AS the quarter
OF Port Arthur hitherto known as the China
Town is regarded being extremely unhealt hy
a new town is being projected the hill slopes
lying to the north of the great western harbor AT
the same time, the construction of new trading
centre at Taen-Wan is being pushed forward with
all haste. Vice-Admiral AleXieff. who is in chief
command Of the entire sea and land forces of
Russia in the Kwan-Tung territory, is assisted bv
three high officials; of these officials is a diDo-
matte agent in charge of all negotiations between
Russia and the Chinese and other governments tho
second official manages the finances and the third
deals with the local Chinese affairs.
The line of railway which is to connect Port
Arthur with Moukden, in Manchuria, by way of
Taen- Wan and New-Chang is being con-
structed with remarkable rapidly; in fact the
work of construction is already completed but
communication throughout it's entire length is not
yet in proper working order. The journey from
Port Arthur TO Moukden will occupy about three
days as the trains viii not travel at night but
will remain during the night hours at Talienwan
and New-Chwang. 1t is satisfactory learn that
Russian authorities have failed far in their
efforts obtain possession of the line of railway
at present in British hands from Moukden to Shang-
hai-Kwang
