and south OF Port Arthur there are
| forts equipped with the most formlda e
| BILE guns mounted on hydraulic moving
| machinery, II is possible to rotate one
Of these monster firing machines in
rather less than a minute, thus making
it nearly forty times as efficient as one
of the stationary old time pieces. To
crown this system of defense there is
built on the summit OF the highest
ridge Immediately behind the town and
| overlapping all the other fortihcations,
a gigantic fort which sweeps the seas
10 a great distance, 1t was the fire
from this height that kept Admiral
Togo's ships lodging. The system OF
interior defense is equally comprehen-
sive. In case a fleet should succeed In
entering the harbor Il would stil find
itself the target for most active DEM
onstration.
Having thus renewed the defenses,
the new tenants of Port Arthur turned
their attention to the condition Of the
harbor. The Chinese had done little to
make the port available as an anchor
age, and the Japanese during their
brief occupation had been unable to
carry their plans into effect, The APP
preach to the harbor is so narrow and
tortuous that II would seem as II ma
ture had not intended It for roadway.

The excavation for this work had been
begun by the Chinese, but Il was en-
larged greatly. AS now reconstructed
by the Russians, the dry dock is 452

ton from eastern Russia, for the most
part mechanics who had been attracted
by the good wages rumored TO be Of
fered by the contractors who were
building the warehouses and other gov
eminent structures at Port Arthur and
later at Dalny. The thrifty Chinese
were not slow to appreciate the busl-
ness attractions Of the new proprietor
ship As consequence they hocked IN
promptly and established themselves
without the fortified town. In rev
months this mushroom settlement con-
tained a population of many thousand
