PORT ARTHUR DOOMED.

The official reports of the Port Ar
thur operations since August form
recital of almost continuous fighting Of
a desperate nature. The Russians first
struggled desperately to block every Jap
anese advance and then met the concen
trated artillery FIRE OF the Japanese with
its kind. Lattefly, since the japanese
began running parellels and traverse'
and extending mines, the Russians have
been constantly making sorties. They
rushed into the japanese trenches and
engaged in ferocious struggles with the
engineers and pioneers. With desperate
courage the japanese continued to close
in upon the fortress, progressing stage by
stage. The japanese infantry never
failed to respond when asked to make ail
assault on almost impossible positions,
and when the troops gained foothold
they generally held it with unfinching
determination.
The official reports from Toxic de-
scribing the desperate assaults upon Port
Arthur, beginning October 26, have
created visible depression at the War
Office in st. Petersburg. The sustained
character of the bombardment with
siege guns and the preaching of the
walls by underground mines, but, above
all, the TACT that the japanese govern
ment, after weeks of silence regarding
the operations of the besiegers has
given out these reports before actual
success has crowned their efforts, con-
yinces the military authorities that after
long preparation General Nogi is not
only making supreme effort to carry
the fortress, but feels 50 confident OF sue
cess that the result OF the preliminary
operations has been made public. They
believe the assault was timed for the an
nouncement of the fall OF the fortress to
be made upon the birthday ofthe Mikado
(today), which, by strange coincidence,
is the tenth anniversary OF the accession
of Emperor Nicholas and is great Rus
sian holiday.
Today, therefore, is expected to be
marked by fate for day OF immense re.
ioicing either for Japan or Russia, ac-
cordiDg as the present assault succeeds
or fails. The War Office is trying to
buoy up the Russian hopes with ref
erences to the long and successful de-
feuse Lieutenant General Stoessel has
thus far conducted, but things have now
reached such a pass with the garrison
aud the character of the present attempt
upon the fortress is evidently so deter
mined that the authorities frankly admit
they would not be surprised if the end
was at hand.

VERDICT IN THE NORTH SEA
TRAGEDY.

THAT George Henry Smith and Will
liam Leggett were at about 1890 a. m.
on October %, while out fishing with
travis aboard the British steam trawler
Crane, with Board Of Trade marks ex-
hibited and regulation lights burning,
killed by shot fred without warning or
proyocation from certain Russian war
vessels at distance about a quarter OF a
mile"
This is the text of the jury's verdict
at the coroner s inquest on the fisher
men victims of the North Sea tragedy
in Hull, England, yesterday. At the
request of the British government repre-
sented by the Earl of Dysart, solicitor OF
the treasury, this conservative award
was rendered by the first court of inquiry
preceding the sessions OF the inter
national tribunal. The government
asked the jury not to find verdict OF
wilful murder or msnslaughter, because
delicate negotiations are going on
which should not be made more diff
cult, and they ought not to let anyone
think they had prejudged the case be-
fore having heard both sides" In con-
sequence the jury simply sets forth the
facts proved by the evidence of physi'
clans, experts on explosives and the
trawlers themselves.
To the verdict the jury added the fol-
lowing rider:
"On this occasion, probably the most
momentous in the annals OF the British
Empire, the jury would record their ap'
probation of the efforts made by the gov
ernments interested to arrive at salts
factory conclusion of The matter, which
we feel, has no parallel in the history o.
the world"
st. GeoIge's Hall, large auditorium
which had been specially fitted up fo
the occasion, was quite inadequate Il
accommodate the crowds that wished t
listen to the evidence. The interest va
intense, and there was some excitement
! but no demonstration occurred. A grea
number ofpcople gathered in the vicinit,
of the building to await the verdict, anC
the space inside the hall was filed. Th,

relatives of the deceased and wounde'
fishermen we're represented by counsel
but the Russian government did not par
ticipate.
The proceedings occupied only abou
three hours.
