Rev. DR.. Francis Brown of the

A Measure of Convenience.
'"The recent action of the board o.
directors in returning to the origina

the attitude Of the present members

London, Nov. 26.-The Mikado has
ordered renewal today of the attack
on Port Arthur, according to latest ad.
vices from Toxic.
He has ordered the Japanese to take
the main Notifications at any cost, and
that the general attack be commenced
today.
The latest successes of the Japanese
army before Port Arthur lead war ex-
perts to look for important news from
the besieged fortress very soon.
1t is believed by military opinion
here that the Mikado ordered the re-
inewal Of the general attack on learn
ing of the successes of the Japanese
in securing control of the forts sur
rounding Port Arthur. Everything
points to stirring activity about Port
Arthur in the immediate future, even
/ If the concentrated onslaught has not
been commenced today, as expected.

Thursday again made preliminary

an entire lack of news from the front
today. The report that the Japanese
are concentrating their energies for a
desperate assault on Port Arthur, in
view OF the approach of the Baltic
squadron, Is quite generally credited
in official quarters. Such move ha
been expected to transpire as soon a
the Japanese learn that the squadron

The authorities are prepared t.
