Port Arthur, whose hills have for
months run red with the blood of the
bravest of the two War-like nations,
has at last succumbed to the fierce
tenacity of the Japanese attack. Cen
eral Stoessel, most stubborn in carry
Ing out the will of his sovereign, has
seen the advance of the besieging army
gain in momentum and energy until to
hold out longer would have been a
crime against humanity. The conditions
OF the surrender are not yet known,
but in all quarters it is anticipated
that they are such as an honorable SOL
der may accept from a brave and vic
torious enemy.
At 9:45 o'clock Sunday night the
commissioners completed the singing of
the c%apitulation agreement. Both
armies had suspended hostilities five
hours earlier. The city of Port Ar
thur will be occupied by the japanese.
The authorities at St. Petersburg, in
the absence Of direct official news
from General Stoessel that Port Ar
thur has surrendered, have not per-
mitted the news to become public. En-
peror Nicholas is in the south of Rus
STA, and his Ministers are for the time
being in the dark as to what dis
patches have been sent to him from
the front.
Toxic was the scene of rejoicing,
people of all ranks finding in the out
come compensation for all the sacri-
fee of life and money that was en-
tailed in the ten months siege.
To what extent the fall of Port Ar
thur will make for a restoration of
peace is an open question. There is An
encouraging note in the expression by
Baron Hayashi, Japanese minister at
London, of the hope that Sin some way
it will facilitate final peace though
the pacific note is perhaps lost in the
later words of the minister, when call
attention to the fact that the b~esiegina
IA" L AoW NC llCC W 81 u,
where it will be an offset to the rein
forcements General Kuropatkin has
been receiving from Russia since the
battle of Shakhe. The spirit of the
Russians may be judged by the state
ment of the secretary Of the embassy
at London that the campaign will be
renewed with fresh vigor in the spring,
and that the nation will not be content
to permit Port Arthur to remain in the
hands of the Japaese.
Both in Paris and in London the
opinion is that the squadron under
Vice Admiral Ro~jestyensky, which
started from Libau for the far East
three months ago, will have to retrace
Its way home, as adherence to the
original plans would invite disaster
without probability of effecting a juno
ton with the warships at present in
the harbor of Vladivostock. That Japan
may not be permitted to retain pos
session of Port Arthur without dispute,
is shown in the fact that Paris news
papers are already reviving the claim
made in 1901 that the holding Of that
position commanding the Eastern seas
by the Japanese would be a Elenace
to European powers.

OMEN, where their feelings are in question, are not selfish
enough, they appraise themselves not too dearly, but far too
cheaply: it is the suicidal unselfshness of women which makes
the ~selfshness of the modern bachelor possible. Bachelors
are not all misogynists, and the fact that a man remains un-
married is no proof that he is insensible to the charm of a
womans companionship, or that he does not have such com.
