awful crime, that is an end to it He
continued:

Fall of Port Arthur.


st. Petersburg, March IS G:5O p. ny
The reports of the abandonment of Port
Arthur continue to arouse the bitterest
resentment, the papers denouncing the
story as a stock JObbing scheme. One
paper remarks:
Let other countries be fed on such
tales, but while Russian blood is flow
ing they should not allow the people
20 be disturbed by such falsehoods. The
official kilograms are believed and
trusted by every one"
The government is building some
armored trains for use ON the Mauchu-
rian railroad after the model of those
used by tho British i'm South Africa.
They will not be employed 80 much on
account OF the fear that the Japanese
may cut the road as for their moral
effect on the Chinese robbers who may
become embroidered by the war. 1t is
believed that when the bandits see the
iron monsters they viii not come near
