Humor of the War.
Japan has a way of living up to the
first rumors.
Russia may learn after awhile to keep
its rapid-fre guns in the safe.
Evidently Japan is trying to get even
with Russia for sinking that transport.
To vary the monotony, Port Arthur
may now prepare to be pumrneled Oh its
landward side.
If Russia really wanted the japanese
on that side of the Yalu it has them
there now, all right.
At least, the warning powers might
submit the spelling Of Manchurian proper
names to arbitration.
Perhaps the Car is glad now that the
man who held him when he wanted 10 go
to the front was so strong.
While the Russians had planned to re-
tire, they seem not to have planned to
take most of their field guns with them.
Having seen the japanese at close
range on land, the Russians now know
that they are all they have been painted.
That able military expert who COM
pares the Yalu battle TO Waterloo must
be a little shy of historical knowledge
about Waterloo.
Gen. Kuropatkin should admit at least
that in conducting his retiring movement
he is receiving considerable assistance
from the enemy.
Talk about the one line of railway get
ting the Russian troops east to Manchu-
ria. How about the one telegraph line
carrying back all the regrets to report?
Russia can console itself with the
thought that it is better to make a warm
finish With q poor start than the other
way. However, it has yet to make the
warm finish.

Attack on Port Arthur.
Viceroy Alexieff reports that two jap
anese torpedo boats and eight freships
were sunk by the Russian squadron
while they were attempting to block the
harbor entrance. Few details are given,
but it is said that Vice Admiral Togo
made another desperate effort to bottle
up Port Arthur, and that section Of the
Russian fleet was sent out by Alexieff to
meet the japanese feet, which consisted
Of number Of freships conveyed by two
torpedo boats. All were sunk by the
Russian torpedo boats and the fire from
the land batteries, leaving the channel
clear. The Russians succeeded in saw
ing n few members of the crews Of the
fire ships, including two officers.
The fire ships were discovered, by
means of the searchlights of the bat
teries and guard ships, creeping toward
Port Arthur from the east and southeast
shortly after midnight. The torpedo
boats and torpedo-boat destroyers were
ordered out, but none of the larger war
ships. Admiral Alexieff himself went
out on board the coast defense vessel
Otvashni. The guard ships at the en-
trance of the harbor and the forts opened
fierce fire on the fire boats, which last
ed until o'clock in the morning, when
the last fire ship went down.
The official report does not specify the
exact spot where the steamers were
sunk, but it is plain that a Japanese at
tempt to cork the entrance to Port Ar
thur has failed again. The steamers
were armed with Hotchkiss and Maxim
guns and responded hotly to the Russian
