PORT ARTHUR.

An expert military writer in the
Illustrated London News Z says that
Port Arthur is most difficult place
to defend unless protected by a friend
! ly fleet outside. Although the, place
has many forts the. guns are not, heavy
enough to keep an enemy a distance;
and they are mounted on 20 high a
place that they cannot be depressed
sufficiently to fire on torpedo boats
operating close inshore as the Japanese
flotila did on the night of the first at
tack.
Another defect which the London
writer observes Is that the forts are
too close to one another. Those in
shore doubtless receive any shells that
are meant for those on the immediate
sea border, II the range be too great.
They are, moreover, placed so close
to the town, shipping. and harbor that
ricochet from the fort would prob
ably land in the town; or II the direc-
ton of the shell were correct 1t might
hit either the fort on one side, the town
In the middle, as did actually occur,
or the fort or railway on the other
side. It was doubtless for this reason
that the Viceroy did his best to remove
all business houses and shops of every
description to Talien-Wan, and is an
other reason, together with the food
question, for the present exodus of
both civilians and troops"
Again, Port Arthur can be command
ed on all sides by hostile fleet once
the defensive fleet has been bottled up.
There are positions on two TANKS where
ships of war may sweep the neck of
the isthmus connecting Port Arthur
with its back country, thus prevent
ing the receipt of reenforcements and
supplies This is why -.dmral Alexien
was so quick, after the outbreak of
war. to remove his headquarters to
Hardin. .'
Small, compact, easily bombarded,
readily cut off from supplies, unhealthy
in the close air of it's amphitheater of
hills. Port Arthur is believed to be an
untenable place which the japanese
will eventually reduce/with the aid of
their fleet alone.

The Senate can do itself and the
Territory no good by blockading the
plans of the Governor. The people
evidently want the Legislature to give
the Executive a chance and are not in
favor of an insurgent movement in
either House. Senatorial power can be
put to no better use than to stand with
the Governor for economy, retrench-
ment and reform and thus perfect the
good work which the House has done
so much to shape.

WHITES AND ABORIGlNES.

The Herrera uprising In German
Southwest Africa is described by the
Berlin papers as the natural result of
the treatment which the natives have
received from traders According to
official reports there have been the most
ruthless cruelty and injustice to the
people of the soil. Lands and cattle
have been seized by them for debts
that have already been paid. The
shooting, fiogging and imprisonment of
innocent natives whose women and
children have been subjected to every
form of horror and cruelty are the
causes of the revolt. The German
newspapers do not hesitate to couple
the German soldiers and officials with
the traders.
But this is an old story, as wide as
the march of civilization through the
world. The Indian wars in North
America, beginning with the acts of the
Pilgrim Fathers who fell upon their
knees and then upon the aborignes,
were continued down the centuries in
the most relentless persecution by
white pioneers. Originally the Indians
welcomed the whites as they did
Columbus and his men at Cat Island.
In Massachusetts and Virginia the first
attitude of the red men was concilia-
tory but the conduct of the strangers
soon made them enemies. The muir
derous Apache of the Southwest was
a product of murderous Spaniards, in
vading the land. When Coronado, over
$50 years ago, made his famous march
from Mexico to the buffalo plains of
Kansas in vain search of the seven
cities of Cibola, he had no serious trou-
BILE with native tribes which, in another
half century, goaded by the conquista-
dores, became the terrors of the desert.
The reader of Parkman's Oregon
Trail" a classic in the early literature
of the West, will find, to his surprise,
that white men We're welcome guests
among the Sioux. Parkman, himself,
lived with this great tribe, migrating
with it, and standing in no peril of his
life. 1t was only when the pioneer ad-
vance across the plains came on and
Indians were treated as wild beasts
that the Indian question became acute.
Swindled by traders, driven from their
homes, shot at whenever they came in
sight, treaties with them violated ii
was not strange that the American
aborigines turned into wild beasts and
harried their white foes in turn. TheN
are conquered now; but they might
have been conciliated long ago.
OF course the Germans will subdue
the Herrera Blacks they cannot afford
to do otherwise; but that the blame for
the rebellion is theirs to bear is a fact
established by their own testimony.

1t is not at all certain that the Rus
sian battleship which turned turtle off
Port Arthur yesterday struck a Rus
sian mine. A fortnight ago the news
came by cable that the japanese, fall
ing to blockade Port Arthur with stone
laden merchantmen, had laid cor
don of mines between the mouth of the
harbor and the open sea. Ordinarily
warship can thread it's own mine
system with ease, the whereabouts of
the explosives being accurately mark
ed on the charts and otherwise indi-
Gated But it cannot locate an enemys
system and must take chances when
approaching it. 1t is quite possible
that the japanese drew Makaroff far
enough out to expose him to the de-
structive contact torpedoes with which
they had formed their inner line of
blockade. If not, and the Petropav-
lovsk went amuck among its own sub
marine defences, the humiliation of
the Russians can be scarcely less. To
be hoist by ones own petard Is not a
more distinguished end than to be
hoist by the enemy's.

Every now and then, when sale OF
realty is made, an unknown mortgage
turns up which. If paid, had never been
cancelled. In land recording here an
amazing laXity has prevailed, with the
result that many titles are unneces-
sarily clouded, The Torrens law en-
ables the landowner, at slight expense,
to get a new title, back of which a
search need not so, and enables the
hamburger to be perfectly assured that
what he buys is his. 1t would be
pity to lose the realty guarantees which
the Torrens law confers, proposition
upon which lawyers and real estate eN-
perts are united.

LANDSMEN VS.. SEAMEN.

The Russians are landsmen who have
no taste for the sea. Since the time OF
Peter the Great, father OF the Russian
navy, they have played an inglorious
part on the deep waters. Paul Jones,
when he became Grand Admiral of the
Czarina's navy. despaired of getting
order and efficiency Tout of the chaos
and decentralization in which the Black
Sea fleet was involved and he came to
his death from cold caught While ex-
aiming the hold,Iof1 his flagship for
proof of official neglect He found that
the navy was a mere amakeshift. used
by its officers to rob the government.
1t was of but slight fighting value, al
though, under his command, 1t had won
some advantages from the Turks.
During the Napoleonic wars the navy
hid from the French and in the
Crimean conflict it's vessels were self
sunk to prevent their capture by the
allies and for the protection of a har-
Dor from the entrance of the enemy
afloat. The story of naval incapacity
in the present war Is a familiar and
augmenting one.
Russians are essentially n land-till-
ing, a strengthening and horse-raising
people. Their ports being frozen so
many months of the year they have
but little time and but a limited in
centive to navigate salt water. Having
ample fisheries in rivers and bays, their
pursuit of deep sea-fish Is not keen:
and not being a manufacturing race,
engaged in export trade, their mari
time commerce has never been great
enough to create such seafaring class
as navy needs behind it, Finally
the bulk of the population lives in the
interior away from the fierce ocean
storms which make the coast bleak and
inhospitable. a navy for such people
is an anachronism. almost as much a
one as it would have been for the
South African Dutch.
Circumstances have made the jap
anese good sailors from immemorial
times. Their small. crowded islands,
set in a propitious sea. have inspired
the ocean-going spirit; and the need OF
food has kept the people fishing
Probably a million men are required
for the off-shore fisheries, there being
no rivers of any consequence to supply
finny provender. off Japan, as off New
England and Canada. hardy race of
seafarers has been reared; and when
war comes such men are ready and
qualified to join the navy. Many of
them were born and brought up in
iunks only going ashore occasionally
as other men go to sea: and many are
descended from the fierce buccaneers
who, for centuries harried the Chinese
and Korean coasts.
When the Russian sheep-herder goes
out in ships of-war to meet the Vikings
of the Far East, but one thing can hap

ing right along ever since the present
war began.

The taxpayers had enough of the old
county system in the short time 1t
ran and they are not disposed to add
to their present burdens for the sake
of restoring it. Counties are luxuries
and this is the day for the bare neces-
stiles of government-for simplifying
our administrative forms and saving
money wherever we can. The .Legis-
lature is meeting to cut down expenses,
not to increase them; and the voters
are not disposed to elect Legislature
which will go back to the old or go
sideways to the new eXtravagances.
The only way the county system could
be afforded is by skeletonziug the Ter
ritorial government by Act of Congress
and establishing a single county by
act of Legislature with each island a
township to be governed by an UNI
salaried Board of Trustees and repre-
scented by paid supervisor. Only in
this way could the county system be
recognized without harm to the tax
payers. But why recognize it at all?
There are no counties in Alaska, nor
in the District of Columbia nor in the
area embraced in greater New York.
Can't we get along without super
fuities as we'll as they?

Gen. George NJ. Sternberg suggests
in one of the Reviews, that organized
effort on the part of the Government to
protect the health of the laborers ana
others on the Panama canal would be
effective at no great cost. He proposes
first, to bring drinking water in pipes
from the mountains and distribute 1t
along the ditch, prohibiting the use o.
any other save steriliZed bottled water;
second, to compel every man to sleep
under a mosquito bar; third, to use
petroleum upon all places where the
mosquito breeds; fourth, the service of
a hospital corps modelled upon that Of

With these precautionary adjuucts,

The third disaster to the Russian fleet
makes it improbable that the Cars
navy will attempt to cut much of a
figure in the further struggles of the
war. Every effort will be made by the
army to retrieve the prestige lost at
sea, and some desperate fighting may
be looked for. Those who know the
combatants feel sure that Japan will
render as good an account of herself
ashore as ahoat though they do not
underrate the soldierly character of the
Cars army.

pair propose to travel 10000 miles in
fourteen-ton boat. Two of the most
ingenious devices to be carried aboard
for the sake of safety are dinghy and
floating archor, both the inventions
and patents of Napier himself. The
dinghy has been constructed with a
fiat bottom to enable it to be carried
standing fiat on the deck, and thereby
dispensing with the cumbersome dav-
its. The floating deepsea anchor is
constructed with spar Is feet long.

shaped canvas sail weighted at the
bottom with shot. This continuance
is made especially for outriding any
storms whic h may be met with in mid
channel, VIII en- the water is too deep to
allow the ordinary anchor to be low
cred. The deep sea anchor is let out
at the sterE of the craft, and the ac-
ton of the water on it while in this
position holds the boat practically mo-
tionless. The route to be taken, start
ing from Brighton, is through the Bay
OF Biscay and the Atlantic ocean to
Capetown, ind then a run of 5000
miles without touching land will have
to be made from the Cape to Fireman.
