PORT ARTHUR.

Port Arthur is not holding out un-
expectedIy long. Compared with the
sfeges of sebastopoI. vicksburg and
Port Hudson and of PIevna, that OF
the Liaoyang fortress has not yet ap-
preached the time-lirnit. The wonder
is not that the Russians have done so
well in defence as that the japanese
have done so well in assault. Port
Arthur was regarded by most military
experts as impregnable. It's capacity
TO keep an enemy off for two years
was seriously entertained. Yet at the
end of fourteen weeks we find the
japanese in possession of several forts,
delivering so close fire as to en-
danger the remnant of the Cars fleet
in the harbor and so narrowing their
circle of attack as to make it impos-
sible for Stoesse1, as he says himself,
to hold out longer than October Is.
The latest news tells of another great
assault preceded by a bonbardment.
1t appears to be the rule of the Japa-
nese to deliver a tremendous weight OF
metal against the fort wanted and
then. when it becomes untenable, to
assault in force, the heavier guns then
being turned on other forts in the
neighborhood and the lighter ones
PLAYING over the heads Of the attack
ing column. In this way several forts
about Port Arthur have been taken
and the rest may fall in turn. Ger
tainly the Japanese do not hesitate to
sacrifice life to carry a point and their
Generals are unhampered by the fact
that there is no public opinion at home
to rail at them for needless effusion
of blood Instead the fathers and
mothers of Japan expect their sons to
die for the Emperor and seem to be
disappointed when they do not. Under
such circumstances at home soldiers of
true metal can work wonders abroad.
The fall of Port Arthur, if it comes
in the next month, will determine the
of the Baltic fleet. With
that place in the hands of the Japa-
nese it is hardly conceivable that the
fleet would go East at all, as the only
other port of refuge and repair left
would be yladivostok, which may be
expected to freeze in December. Be
sides, to reach there the fleet would
have to fight Togo's whole force and
take such risks as would come from
a land siege. g&

This is a marvellous age we live in, .
said a theatrical manager, and its
nlarxelousness was brought home to me
forcibly last week.
* I had written to a French tenor and
asked him what he would take to come
over here and sing next season. His
reply consisted of a letter and two
cylinders.

letter said, and 1 forward in another

THE larger cylinder was a phono-
graphic record of one of the mans
solos. The smaller one was a moving
picture film OF him singing the solo.
Il took the two cylinders to a deal

the other in a moving picture machine
Then we darkened the room, and we
started the machine and the phono-
graph simultaneously. BY Jove, sir.

sonalIy. There he was on the screen

HOW ELEPHANTS SLEEP.

THAT elephant said circus man
at Kansas City recently, has slept
standing up for year. He is 80. and
what little sleep he requires he takes
on his feet. An elephant in his prime
sleeps only five hours a night, and
the older he grows the less sleep he
needs. This good fellow here practi-
cally needs no sleep at all. At what
ever hour of the day or night 1 come
to him, he stands patiently in his place,
rocking from side to side. know he
sleeps a little, but for years now his
maps have been so short that he hasn't
bothered to lie down for them. Near

wH1rNEY.s INCOME Tax.

William c. Whitney left fortune of
S22. 220, 900. 1t was assessed in New
York state legacy duty of $222, 900.
This is the largest inheritance tax
which would have been paid on this
fortune anywhere in this country. In
England the tax would have been far
heavier. Under the act of 1894 an es-
tate of over $5,0OOOOo pays 8 per cent.
on the entire estate, real or personal,
settled or not settled. The estate
duty or inheritance tax, If Mr.. Whit
ney had lived in England, would have
been $1.76O.0 600 or eight times larger
than the largest Inheritance tax levied
in this country. Yet there are many
who imagine that under democratic
conditions large properties are likely
to be more severely dealt with than
abroad.

JAPs IN NEW YORK..

Although there is no Japanese quart
er in New York, Consul General Uchi-
da estimates that as many as 1,500 Of
his countrymen find employment and
homes in Greater New York. Some OF
these are cooks and some are lawyers,
some are humble artisans and others
are samurai and men of power and
culture. In the various schools of Col
umbia university more than a dozen
sons of Dai Nippon are matriculated.
AT the Brooklyn navy yard before the
call to colors had been issued some
twenty of Japan's naval reserves were
employed.

HAMLET AND MRS. MAVERICK.

The release from prison of Mrs.
Maybrick recalls a story told on the
authority of E. s. Willard the Eng
lish actor. According to the story
there was a sensational play in re-
hearsal at one of the London theaters
early in the sos. The plot of the play
was in all essentials the plot of the
Maybrick tragedy. Before putting it in
the bill a private matinee was given
to which critics, actors and literary
folk were invited. The play was final
ly condemned and never produced, but
among the audience at the matinee,
the story goes, were Mrs. Maybrick
and the man whose name was men
toned in the case. IF the story be
true it furnishes one of the most Curl
Gus condolences in the history of
crime since the leading case of Hamlet
versus the King of Denmark.

Kumalae's amusing display of Tom
Johnson's picture is coupled with the
statement that Johnston is "the head
of the Home Rule party in the United
States" This is Kumalae's answer to
the truism that the Hawaiian Home
Rulers. if they elect their nominee for
Delegate, will not be able to find any
party support for him in Congress.
Somebody ought to contribute to john
sons amusement by sending him the
Kumalae story-one. by the way, which
has deeply impressed the Home Rule
natives. No doubt they would be equal
ly impressed with the statement, es-
pecially if Kalauokalani made it, that
the moon is made of squash pie.

Shelter Representative.

The Crofton shelter was repre- scntcd here this past week iu the person of 4. Charles Barke. Mir. Barke came up on the Excelsior and stopped off for time to in- spect some of the properties near Ellamar; with a view of secur- ing shipments of ore to his smelter.
 In Landloeked bay he examined Dickey's property and entered into contract to hanele the ore. The Bouske property in the same local. ity, which IS now being developed, was visited, hut il is not yet in con dition to ship.
 Mir. Barke was here strictly on business and was anxious to nego- tiate with any one on the Sound owning property from which they are likely to ship ore. He will he here again soon and will remain longer.
 He claims his smelter to he the best. most up-to-date one on the western coast, being only two years old.

 We have endeavored to get in formation as to the intent of the telegram. but nothing positive can be ascertained. 1t is however gen. orally believed that a cargo of rail- road iron, purchased in England, is intended to he shipped to Valdez around the Horn.

Violating Game I-aw.

While travelling across country on legal business deputy marshal Sexton, when near Kenai, came uy on the carcasses of seven largo moose. from which not more than lJ0 lbe of meat had been removed but the heads were missing from all. which showed that the animals were destroyed just to secure the heads.
 Commissioner Hiidreth wss iu. formed of the matter, assd an in vestigation was begun with the re- suit that three natives were found guilty andi placed in jail for three months, and seven beautiful and extremely large moose heads were confiscated. Three other natives who were engaged in the killing are being looked for. and will be dealt with according to lax when found.
 The natives have found it a re- munerative business to secure these heads in the winter, and sell them to the mighty hunters in the open season. They are thea taken to the states under the protection of q government permit, and eventually adoru the walls of of some English or German home as a trophy of the great sporting ability of the sfore- said mighty hunter.
 During the trial of the natives it was learned that they secured the skin of large brown bear. He was discovered in a den asleep and a couple of ropes were thrown around his meek, when he was hauied out and shot. The skin is said to i.e an extra fine one with very long fur

Work At Kyak.

|, Vim. Darlington, in an intervie W regarding the prospects at Kyak, says:
 Work has been practically sus- pended in the oil fields during the winter, owing to the fact that the people who are conducting opera tions there did not sufficiently un- derstand the climatic conditions which prevail in the district. The general impression has been that the snow and cold would make winter operations inpraeticable, while AS a matter of fact the eli mate is but little more severe than that of Seattle, the snow melting very soon after it falls, and offerine z little, if any interference to regular operations Hereafter work will be carried on during the winter the winter the same as during the sum- mer.
 The English company's third gusher was struck at a depth of l 100 feet and flows from a strata of oil sand 40 feet thick. Immed- lately after striking this Mir. Stracy suspended operations in the field and went to Montreal to consult with Messrs. Mackenzie & Mann, and thence to London to see other members of the company.

A message from Washington,

The Alaskan bills passed included those for the inn provement of roads, maintenance of schools, appointment of an ad- ditional judge and the extension of the coal land laws to the district.
