Officer Hagar of Weybridge came to
town Sunday evening with an express

Thompson, the brothers who were tried

Sheriff Cobb for detention. They were
tried before Justice Dickens Monday and
Ernest pleaded guilty and was fined, for
a second offense, S15 and costs, making
little over 500. John pleaded not
guilty and demanded a jury trial in
Wey bridge. This was held Tuesday
before Justice Dickens and he was found
guilty and fined, with costs, S40.32 or its
equivalent in the Jail.

side, by which the railway approaches the
town, and on the west, owing to the nature
of the high range of hills on the other
sides 1t would be equally impossible to
make a boat attack by the entrance to the
harbor, for there are small batteries on
either side which could play a murderous
crossiire on the entrance and be themselves
quite under cover
The laying of mines round the entrance
to the harbor presents very serious diff
cultes, as the passage is very short, and
you at once come to open sea with strong
currents and deep water. So that, as has
been proved the dangerous game of lay
ing mines would have been better left I'M
done by the Russians at Port Arthur.
Another great weakness in the defense,
and point that all persons having author
ity should look to when choosing position
to defend which doubtless weighed
heavily with the japanese when they gave
up Port Arthur--is that, if the town were
properly invested from all sides, which
could be easily done, there would be no
means of beating a retreat.
This is lesson the viceroy has evidently
taken to heart before it is too late in NOV
ing his headquarters to Hardin OF Mukden.

their own feet on either side of the pen

being possible to command the neck of the
peninsula from either side.
A peculiar feature of the Russian defense
of Port Arthur is the history attached to
some of the heavy guns which are at
present in the forts These guns were sold
originally to the Chinese authorities by
German firm, shortly before the Boxer
trouble, when the Chinese were buying
arms on every available occasion. They

PORT ARTHUR A DEATH
TRAP FOR DEFENDERS

Port Arthur has been shown on the oc-
cason of the recent attacks by the Jap
anese feet, to be most difficult place
to defend unless protected by friendly
fleet outside.
Once that feet has to retire within the
inner basin Of the waterway. it becomes
useless for scouting purposes, and is only
source of danger to itself Within as, in
the event of bombardment, the want of
space in the harbor compels all vessels to
lie close to one another making a better
target for the high-angle fire of the at
lacking force.
Port Arthur is well defended if the num-
Der of forts and their position count for
anything; but in the first place the guns
are not heavy enough to keep an enemy
at a distance. and the weather is often too
boisterous to admit of ships lying out far
enough to act as a first line OF defense.
The high position of the shore batteries
admits of small craft coming up in the
darkness of the night under the Russian
fire, as doubtless the Japanese torpedo
boats did in the first attack, with perfect
safety. for the guns could not possibly be
depressed sufficiently to reach them
Another defect in the defenses of the
port II tidt tue lOtts are 100 SiOSe 10 one

bly, land in the town; or if the direction
of the shell were correct, it might hit
either the fort on one side, the town in
the middle, as did actually occur, OF the
fort or railway on the other side.
1t was doubtless for this reason that the
vieeroy did his best to remove all business
houses and shops of every description to
Talen-Wan and is another reason, togeth-
er with the food question, for the present
exodus of both civilians and troops.
The japanese showed great judgment in
not pressing their recent attacks on Port
Arthur amy farther than they did for to
eudeavor to take the place by assault Of
arms would be an impossible feat; in fact.

bought on the three-year system, paid so
much down. and the balance divided be-
tween the second and third year. The firm
had to pay the regular "cumshaw' to the
lower officials out of the money they re-
ceived the first year. The guns were de
lievered at once and deposited in the Shiku
arsenal. where Admiral Sir Edward Sey-
mour made his grand stand with his
wounded when returning from his futile
endeavOr to rescue the Picking legations.
Some of these guns were not even UNI
packed. Before the second and third in
stallments were paid fighting began, and
the guns were captured by the allies and
handed over to the Russians for custody.
The Russians always seem to have men to
take charge of anything and they took
livered at once and deposited in the Shilu
arsenal that they were sent over to Port
Arthur; so that although Germany had not
received a penny for the honest work done
in her country she has unwittingly pro
vided Russia with the means to defend
Port Arthur.
There is another part of the defense
of the port that the Russians forgot to
put in order-namely, provisions. All
Japan has to do now is sit down and wait
until the garrison is starved out, an opera
ton which will not take long; and his,
unless unforeseen circumstances arise, must
be what she intends doing.
There is no doubt that Port Arthur is
impregnable to assault, provided the de-
tenders have a superior range of guns and
good gunuers; both these essentials seem
to be wanting.
To conclude, there can be no possible
doubt that Port Arthur for defenders can
be nothing but death-trap- as
naval port. and unhealthy owing to being
so confined in space and surrounded by
hills Doubtless the Russians have found
all this out, after much expense has been
incurred with little apparent result.

it out with broad. soft paint brush wipe

OF alcohol. The drawer is then ready to
receive the ribbons, laces and accessories
which one usually finds in that stop draw.

makes it possible to replace the articles at

cleaned in the same way And when all
