THE GOAL TO REACH.
Port Arthur Must Fall or Japs Can.
not Win the Struggle.
Land Battles Only Pile Up the Dead
and Make Contending Forces
More stubborn-Daron Hay
nshi's Interview.

London, Oct. 14.-News Of the bat
tie between the Russians and Japanese
was eagerly awaited here at the Japa-
nese legation. Baron Hayashi. the
Japanese minister, said to the Assocl-
ated press: "The reports OF our sue
cesses, welcome as they are, must not
be construed as being foreruEners of
any decisive blow. 1t is practically i'm
possible for Marshal Oyama to envelop
and utterly crush Gen. Kuropatkin,
just as 1t is equally impossible for Ku-
ropatkin to envelop Oyama. A VIC
tory in the battle now raging chiefly
means to us that Kuropatkin must con-
fess defeat. which is important, but
not decisive.
until Port Arthur falls any pro-
posal looking to peace must be futile.
Defeat or victory to the Russian Man
churian army or armies merely swells
the daily death roll. Kuropatkin
driven back and utterly defeated would
simply harden Russia's heart. Kuro-
patkin temporarily successful would
only inspire new enthusiasm. In such
a see-saw there is no hope Of peace.
Port Arthur is different. Should 1t
be captured those in Russia who are
supposed to favor reasonable settle
ment would have sentimental, mate
rial factor in favor Of their point OF
view that no development Of the Man
churian campaign could provide. Jap
an in possession of Port Arthur could
treat for peace. How much longer
Port Arthur can outlast l have not
the least idea. Hot weather Is an adj
vantage to the defenders. From the
intense heat and consequent sanitary
disadvantages the Japanese could not
get away. Against the cold now COM
ing on they can take the necessary pre-
cautions and suffer none Of those cpl
denies, whereto If they are not VIC
tins they are at least exposed. 1t Is
Impossible to think that this war, un-
sought by the population Of either OF
the two countries involved, can be al
lowed to continue indefinitely. Inter-
venticn in some shape or form must
eventually occur. At the moment Rus
sia breads any one suggesting 1t be-
cause therein is involved a confession
OF defeat. Should Port Arthur fall
think it would be different"

in Fifth avenue. A mason was cary
ing one side Of the sstone arch. AS soon
as. he saw that a picture was to be
taken he stopped. his work and gazed
toward the camera. A few other work
men, seeing what. was going on, stopped,
No, the photographer did not want
group picture Of Workmen, so, after
having focused his camera and got
ready to snap the shutter, he took out
his pipe and tobacco, seated himself on
pile of lumber and waited.
The men waited, too, but presently
they began to fdget. The photographer
chaffed them. He. pointed out that he
could wait all day, but they would
soon be sent to work by their boss.
They dispersed then and tho picture
was taken.
While he was photographing another
house, two stylishly dressed girls, about
IL years old, passed and noticed what
was going on.
.Let s cross over and get in the
picture, said one, and they crossed
the avenue and posed. They failed
to get into the picture, because they
did not judge accurately the angle Of
| the lens.
