pER QOOCGE2sSS OF This This MAR MAR

The armies of Kuropatkin and Oya
ma are facing one another on the
Shakhe river, where they have been
stationary for a month. There are
occasional reports from Russian
| sources Of Japanese setbacks and re
pulses, at various points, but the Jap,
anese are silent as to their doings and
their intentions.
All that is positively known is that
both armies are receiving reinforce
ments. Since the completion of the
missing link in the Siberian railroad
around Lake Baikal the Russians are
able to send men to the front with
greater rapidity and in larger numbers.
Both armies are using the spade in
cessantly, and are protected now by
systems of elaborate and seemingly i'm
preSnab BILE works.
It is winter in northern Manchuria,
and the difficulties in the way of a for
ward movement when the forces are
so nearly equal as they are appear to
be insuperable. Snow and frost are
dangerous enemies to affront 1t seems
as if both armies had resolved to stay
where they are during the winter
What their losses from disease and
cold will be during the season may be-
come known next spring.
Spasmodic bombardment and persist
ent tunneling have been the character
istic features of the siege of Port Ar
thur during the week. Specific items
of news have been in consequence few.
The Japanese succeeded in occupying
the counterscarp of Sungshu fort. one
Of the strong positions on what is. call
ed the northeastern ridge, and they
made a similar gain at the Ehrlung
fort. A smell blew up q magazine in
the city and started a confagration
that lasted two days. A Russian coun-
ter attack in front Of East Keekwan
fort was failure. There is also q
story, though not a very definite one,
Of an attack by Japanese company
on detachment Of Russians in an out
lying position in front of Etseshan.
This last story is the only one that in
dicates activity in the neighborhood

of the western defenseS of the fortress.
Within the last month we have adj
yanced from mere guesswork to def
mite knowledge of the progress of the
siege. as the result of the trickiing
stream of dispatches which tbs lap
anese staff has allowed to be published.
We no longer talk Of the possibility of
Port Arthur falling any day, but rather
of the probability that this or that one
Of the sixteen forts, or groups Of forts.
which make up the main defense Of the
city, will be taken.
It is worth recalling that the Port
Arthur forts can be divided in q gen
eral way into five groups. There is
first the exceedingly strong Liautie-
shan position. at the extreme end Of
the promontory. some twelve miles
southwest of Port Arthur. This has
not vet been under fire at all. Then
there are the forts on the Tigers Tail
peninsula. These also have been free
from attack. Thirdly, there are the
forts. of which Golden Hill and Elec-
trio Cliff are the best known, COM
handing the harbor entrance and
strung along the shore to the east of
the city. The guns Of these forts have
engaged Admiral Togo's fleet whenever
they had a chance. but they do not
seem to be mounted SO that they can
be used against land attacks. A fourth
group comprises the forts on the north
eastern ridge, the Sungshu fort, the

In this fight the lions were driven

In this fight the lions were driven
off.
The natives told the explorer that it
was no uncommon thing for the hye-
mas to attack the lions and that as q
rule the hyenas got the better Of the
encounter.
Lions in the Lake Rudolph region of
SOmaliland, according to the reports Of
explorers, are accustomed to hunt in
packs-pgobably for protection against
the hyenas.
At one village in which DR.. Smith
stopped he was told Of 4 pack Of six
lions which hunted around that local
ity and frequently rushed the village
and dragged natives from the huts.
The natives regarded the fact of a
pack of hyenas being in the neighbor-
hood as an assurance Of safety from
the lions, because when the lions go
man-hunting the hyenas go lion-hunt-
ing. and the man escapes.
Some people say that the lions roar
is most thrilling when the animal is in
a menagerie, but most hunters Of big
game declare that this is not so. They
say that there is nothing so magnifi-
Gently awe-inspiring as the roar Of a
maddened lion-one, for instance, that
has been hit by the hunter, but not
killed.
In spite Of this roar. however, there
are those who venture 20 call in ques-
ton the lions courage though the mat
ter will probably always be one for
discussion. 1t is probable that among
lions it is the same as among people
some are brave and some are not. But
whatever may be thought of the lion

advantages Of this machine are that it

and that it can do its work more rap
idly than a sprinkler drawn by horses.
A trolley car company in Washing

ton is greater than that of the ordin-
airy wagon, for it is used to haul de-
rallied cars back to the track and even
to draw disabled cars back to the

charged at the company's own power

lumber company in Michigan used an

Instances Related in Which They Pro
tect Men in the JargIes.

y traveller recently returned from
Africa has good word to say for the
generally despised hyena, whose cour-
age, he declares, is much greater than
is supposed generally.
Hyenas," said the traveller, do not
hesitate, when hunting in packs, to at
tack lions, even though the lions are in
considerable numbers. and in such en-
counters the hycnas often get the best
of it. The lion is a good deal of Il
buffer. He looks so fierce and ,roars
so loudly that lie gets 4 greater reputa-
Ntion for courage than is rightfully
his
DR.. Donaldson Smith, well-knOwn
African explorer, in his account CT his
Journey to Lake Rudolph, tells stories
of lion-hunting which corroborate the
travellers reports Of the relative mer-
its Of the hyena and the lion. On one
occasion, when campcd in the midst
of 4 lion-infested country, Dr. Smith
and his followers built a Zereba, which
is little Enclosure Of brush Of such
material as comes to hand.
They made ready to spend the night
watchfully, for they knew that lions
were all about them.
Hearing noise Dr. Smith parted the
bushes with which the entrance to the
zereba had been filed and saw three
lions prOwling about. When they saw
the doctor they skunk off into the
brush. But when night came down
the lions returned, bringing q number
OF other lions with them, and began to
sniff about the Zareba so close that
DR.. Smith, lying fat on the ground
with his rife inside the inclOsure. and
watching for an opportunity to get a
shot, could feel the breath Of the
growing animals.
Just when it seemed as if the pacl,
Of lions was about to charge the zereba
thcir attention was diverted by an at
tack upon them 10y number OF bye
mas which came growing and snarliEg
out Of the forest.
The hyenas attacked the lions with
great fury and bravery. In the ex-
element of the fight the ordinary howl
of the hyena changed to deep, loud
roar, which DR.. Smith declares to be
nearly equal in strength to the roar Of

hills, comprising the Else, Antsz and
Wangtai forts.
| Gen. Nogi seems to have decided
| definitely to enter Port Arthur over the
ruins of the Keekwan, Ehrlung and

OF the walls of these forts. The Rus
slams are confined within the walls and
while their guns are still powerful to
check any Japanese assault VI. the

men tunneling beneath them. Almost
any day we may learn that the Jap
anese have exploded their mines and
burst out of the ground into one Of
these forts, there to fight a hand-to-
hand struggle to the death for posses
sion.
But even if the Russians are driven
out of one fort and their cannon and
ramparts destroyed, that will not mean
Japanese occupation. Apparently all
the forts in the group must be taken
in this way before the Japanese can
enter into occupation. And after this
will come a further strategical problem
to bring about the reduction OF the
Golden Hill and Chair Hill groups of
forts. These tasks accomplished, Port
Arthur will have fallen. But even
then Stoessel, with the remnant of his
men, may hold out longer, if he sees
fit on the Liautieshan promontOry.
With the fall of the Merchandising
shu forts the Russian fleet will proba
bly, be compelled to take its final choice
of doOms, either self-deStruction in the
harbOr or a rush into the waiting jaws
of Togo's keet. The Japanese are con-
fdent that they can force this dilemma
long before Admiral Rojestvensky'
squadron reaches eastern waters.
