Senator Hoar in recent years at
tracted more notice because of his
position on the Philippine question.
He was a bitter opponent of the poll
cy Of the Mckinley and Roosevelt ad-
ministration, and never failed to lift
up his voice against il at every op-
portunity. His plan, which had
many supporters among the antlim-
perialists in New England. was to
leave the islands to the control OF the
natives. the United States acting
merely as a protection against inter
ference by other nations.
Senator Hoar took n lively interest
in historical matters. He was once

death was vice president of the

dent of the Association of the Alumni
of Harvard university. He was also
president of the board of trustees OF
Clark university and at one time was
regent of the Smithsonian institution
He received the degree of doctor OF
laws from William and Mary Am
herst. Yale, Harvard and Dartmouth
colleges. Although he had written
much, his chief work was The Auto
biography OF Seventy Years" a re-
view of his own hie.

JAPs CUT WATER SUPPLY.
Capture Fort Which Guarded Vital
Point at Port Arthur.

As a result of the battle before
Port Arthur. which began on Sep
tember 10, the Japanese succeeded
in capturing several important po'
sitions. To-day the Russian tenure
of the big forts guarding the north,
northeast and northwest sides of the
town Is seriously threatened. Chi
nese information places the Japa-
nese losses under 5000 for the three
days lighting.
Possibly the most important cap
ture during the three days fighting
was that of Fort Kuropatkin, which.
while of minor value with regard to
preventing the entrance into the
town OF the Japanese. has been con.
structed for the purpose of protect
ing the source of the garrison's
water supply. The control of this
water supply is now in the hands of
the Japanese.
