Japanese Superior Force.
The japanese, like the Americans.
have force, according TO all reports,
far stronger than thar OF the Russians.
They are in a better position than the
enemy to engage in battle. despite the
fact that the Russians have the shore
fortresses to back them
Reports lately received from Port Ar
thur describe the Russian sea force
there as a patched up affair. The Cars
efficient force is said to be composed
merely of two battleships and three
cruisers.
with this in mind it would seem that
Tog0's damage to the fleet has been
disastrous. His report says two battle
ships We're practically put out Of com
mission as well as a cruiser.
Only Two Cruisers Intact. "
Thus. taking the report of the state
OF the vessels into consideration. and
accepting It as correct, Russia's force
at the port now consists of but two
cruisers in fun fighting condition.
In addition to this. Japan has a large
force of soldiers on land TO the rear Of
the port. ready for the word to begin
the attack. 1t would seem as though
Togo and the land force at last have
Port Arthur at their mercy.
Sensational reports. which bear the
earmarks Of authenticity. are also. at
hand this morning. which indicate that
fierce land battle between the troops
General mr. L In
and those Of the Mikado. under General
kuroki and General Oku is near at
hand.
Nay End the War.
1t may be that this battle will be the
hnal great struggle of the war, owing
to the enormous forces which viii be
engaged
Kuroh and Oku are said to have eff
fected junctuTe at Kai-Chow. Ihis
being true. the fight will occur within
a very short time. 1t also seems in all
probability that the clash, when Il
comes, will not occur at Liao-YanS. or
even in that vicinity. but more to the
north, probably in the neighborhood of
Mukdeu.
The reason for this is apparent. With
kai-Chow and the greater part, OF Lao
Iung Peninsula in the hands OF the Jap
anese 1t would be fOolhardy for Kuro-
patkin 10 engage them at his present
rendezvous. Liao-Yang. He would there
be IN danger Of a thanking movement by
that portion Of Kuroki's force still to
the east OF him and the japanese would
be in a position to hurl large numbers
from the west by means OF a landing at
Niuchwang
The main fight. therefore. is expected
near Mukden and just as soon as the
Japanese can catch up with KurOpat-
kin's forces the news of whose with
drawal from Liao-Yang is hourly ex-
pected.

The thoroughncss with which the
work of filling the trench which the
telephone crew has dug on Winthrop
street, is being done. is the subject OF
much favorable comment. So well has
it been done. in places where the con-
duits have been put in. and the trench
filled, it is hard to distinguish where
the earth has been dug up. The secret
of it is that as soon as the work of
filling the trench begins. crew rf
men with Founders get into the trench
ana the earth is pounded hard as fast
as it IS shovcllcd in, so that it is as
solid at the bottom as it is at the top.
Ey so doing. the sinking of the earth.
which is so common where water pipes
or sewers have been dup up, is avoided.
