Must Retire Inside Port Arthur.

ST. Petersburg. May 3O.-There is no
attempt here to disguise the fact that
the successful forcing Of the neck OF
kwan Tunk peninsula proper puts a
practical end to resistance to the enc
my until he reaches the actual fortifica-
tions around Port Arthur.
Although there are many strong po-
sitions in the more than twenty-five
miles before the perimeter of the fort
ress is reached. the authorities admit
that the Russians can offer little resist
ance and must now retire within the
fortress and undertake to defend them
relves against a siege.
Neither the admiralty nor the gen.
eral stan has any direct information.
Like the outside world. the admiralty
and general staff are dependent entire
ly upon the enemy for news. Native
reports which may be of some value
are. however. expected shortly.
While there is no disposition to ques-
tion the main facts sent out officially
from Toxic. some unofficial reports
from Japanese sources are being re-
ceived with caution. The impossibility
of holding the advance positions
around Kin Chow in the face of over
whelming odds has all along been ad-
Of the position. as well as Its defenses,
the general stan cannot but believe
that the defense must have been he
roic, and that the positions were only
taken by display Of desperate courage
and at a frightful cost.
The earlier news was received In a
calm spirit by both the public and the
newspapers, but IT, the latest reports
that the Japanese captured fifty guns
is confirmed. 1t is sure that the effect
will be much deeper and is certain to
be considered severe blow. Un/
that report arrived the feeling was
that the Russians had resisted to the
limit Of human endurance and had re-
tired In good order, but II this number
Of guns was taken. 1t will put differ
ent complexion upon things, though 1t
is conceivable here that II the Japa-
nese operating feet landed forces at
Sanshflipo and Talienwan and got in
the rear OF the Russian positions. the
abandonment of the guns might have
become necessary. This view. however.
will hardly diminish the extent Of the
disaster.

Japanese Losses Heavy.

Toxic. May 30-Japan paid heavily
for her victories at Kin Chow, Nan
shan and Talienwan. losing 5000 men
in killed and wounded in the repeated
assaults against these strong posi-
tions. but she scored a sweeping and
valuable victory over the Russians.
capturing fifty guns. clearing the way
to Port Arthur and infiicting losses on
the Russians which in the end are ex-
pected to total 1000 men.
1t is doubtful If the Russians will
stand again north of Port Arthur.
They retired from the field beaten and
they failed to rally at Nan Quan Ling
where it was anticipated that a sec
ond stand would be made.
The desperate onslaughts of the
Japanese on the heights of Nanshan
were telling, for the Russians left 400
dead in the trenches there. A COM
plete search of this field is expected to
show a greater number of dead.
Nan Quan Ling was occupied yester-
day morning by a force of infantry.
artillery and engineers under the
command OF General Nakamura. The
main Japanese force spent Friday
night billeted in the villages around
Nanshan. The soldiers are greatly IA
tigued as result of the constant
fighting. but they entered with much
spirit upon the new operations.
A force of Russians held Sanshilipi
station, which is northwest Of Dalny.
but the Japanese drove them out. The
Russians abandoned and burned the
station and retired in the direction of
Port Arthur.
The estimates of the Russians en-
gagged in the defense of Kin Chow.
Nanshan hill and the south shore Of
Talienwan bay vary, but it is evident
that the Russians drew for men from
the forces at Port Arthur and offered
all the resistance possible. It is un-
derstood that Lieutenant General Sto-
essel, commander of the military
forces at Port Arthur. was in personal
command of the recent operations.
As soon as the Japanese troops have
rested they will press on to the south.

Assault Of Nanshan Hill.

Toxic, May 30.-The japanese as
sault on Nanshan hill was one Of the
nercest and bloodiest affairs in mod
ern warfare. In the earlier rushes OF
the engagement every man participat-
ing was shot down before he reached
the first line Of Russian trenches.
It was found necessary to stop these
infantry charges and renew the artil-
lery fire from the rear before the final
and successful assault on the Russian
position could be made. The success
Of this assault was brought about by
one detachment Of Japanese troops
more intrepid than their comrades
who succeeded in piercing the Russian
line.
A splendid stroke of fortune was the
discovery and destruction by the Jap
anese OF the electric wires leading to
the mines at the eastern foot of Nan
shan hill. This prevented the Russians
from exploding these mines when the
Japanese infantry crossed the ground
where they had been placed. 1t Is pos.
sible that the fortunes Of the day
hinged upon these mines. II the Rus.
SLAMS had been able to explode them
at the right time, the losses among
the Japanese troops would have been
tremendous, and 1t Is possible also that
,the Russians would have been able to
hold the hill.
Nanshan was splendidly defended
Nearly fifty guns of various sizes were
mounted on the various emplacements,
and there we're also two batteries OF
quick-fring field pieces ran with them
around the behind loophole trenches
on the terraces OF the hill. The in.
fantry manning the field pieces ran
with them around the hill, thus using
these guns for the protection OF the
most important points.
The Japanese began the fight by
bringing all their field guns into ac.
tion and concentrating their fire on
the emplacements on the hill. BY II
o'clock In the morning the principal
Russian batteries had been silenced
The two Russian field batteries then
withdrew to NanQuanling hill, and
from there continued to fire on the
Japanese until nightfall.
After the Russian batteries had been
silenced, the Japanese artillery opened
on the enemy's trenches. the Japanese
infantry advancing, meanwhile, to
within rife range. The Jajanese grad
ually worked up to within 400 metres
OF the Russian lines. where they en-
countered wirc and other entangle-
ments. They succeeded in discovering
all opening in these obstacles and get
ting finally to within 200 metres Of the
Russian trenches, they rushed for the
line.

Allreaders of -Four Feathers" will be de-
lighted to learn that A. f. w. Mason's new
story although differing materially from
the old fayorite. is told in the same breezy,
stimulating style, and promises to be one
of the most popular books of the season.
The title of the new book is THE Truants,
and as the truants are two young married
people living with rich and tyrannical
father-in-law. one misses the pursuit and
suspense OF the counting with which most
fiction is engaged. However, the husoaho'

Adornment Of Antietam Battlefield.

Gen. E. A. Csrman, Of Washington,
D. c., Antietam battlefield commits
sioner, is spending the summer at
Sharpsburg and expects to remain
there until the dedication Of the Penn
sylvania monuments on September
~.
General Carman has not ceased his
activity in behalf Of the adornment
of the famous Antietam battlefield,
in which wonderful strides have al
ready been made. He maintains cor
respondence with various State e1-
ecutives and he hopes that next year
the Legislatures of Pennsylvania, New
York and Ohio will vote to erect hand
some State monuments at Antietam'
Monuments already erected by
these States are regimental monu-
ments, and while none Of them are
cheap, General Carman expects to see
the commonwealths named erect i'm
posing and costly memorials to the
valor of all the soldiers Of the respect
i've States. He also hopes that Mich
igan and Indiana will be represented
in the monument line next year.
General Carman hopes also that ex-
Confederate States may contribute to
the adornment of the battlefield. He
has talked with Senator Daniel, of
Virginia, on this subject and the Sen
ator appeared in sympathy with such
project, but pleaded the poverty Of
the State as reason for inaction. Sen
ator Daniel told me, said General
Carman, that Virginians regard An
tietam as General Lee hardest fought
battle. General Lee himself held
this view.
There are now 45 monuments at
Antietam and, as General Carman
says, none of them are cheap" 1t
is expected that the erection OF the
new Pennsylvania monuments will be
completed by September 5.

Million Dollar Fees.

The successful modern lawyer is
the most highly paid worker in the
world. There was time when the
lawyer sought to charge each partic-
ular client all that he thought the
client would pay. The lawyer Of to-
day aims to charge so that his ac-
count will appear on the profit side
of his clients ledger.
William Nelson Cromwell is to re-
ceive 100000 for selling the rights
Of the Panama Canal Compay to the

the isthmus canal might have been
built through Nicaragua, and the
Panama Canal Company would have
remained in its deiunct condition.
William D. Guthrie received ST.

As a result Mrs. Plant obtained ST.

Guthrie, her share Of the estate would
have been exceedingly small. James
B. Hill is credited with having been
paid 100000 for settling the IA
nous dispute between Andrew Car
negie and Henry Frick. 4 legal
fight would probably have resulted
disastrously to every one concerned.
1t is not known how much Francis
Lynde Stetson is paid as the general
counsel for J. Pierpont Morgan, though
it is estimated in Wall Street that
Mr.. Morgan gives him an annual re-
tainer of $4,000 merely for first call
upon Mr.. Stetsons time, all actual
services being paid for IN addition.
The supply of lawyers does not eH-
ceed the demand. In 1890 there were
5000 members of the bar in the
United States, or one to every Cos of
the population. According to the
census of 1900 the total number was
ia, ,7O3, or one to every 659 of the
population. There il and will be for
the good lawyer plenty Of work to do.

A BIT OF CHEER.

Never mind the clouds dear, never mind the rain;
Trust in God and look ahead: the sun will shine
again
Singing after Iorrov and good health after pain;
Sow the seed. and after while comes the golden
grain:
Sow the seed of happiness when all the skies are
bright:
If the clouds come lowering down. laugh them out
Of sight:
Never mind the wind. though it whistles loud and
long;
Whistle up tune yourself. and then break out in
song;
Laugh away your troubles. and pray away your
cares;
That's the way. my sweetheart, to climb the golden
stairs.
