JAP5 CAPTURE A
CHAIN Of FORTS
In Possession OF All Advance
Positions West of Port
Arthur
T0BU ClG bow Be BONBA8DEB

Toxic, Dec. 27.-The most important
announcement that has come from
General NoEi since the capture OF 203-
Metre Hill was received, when he re-
ported that the Japanese captured all
OF the advanced positions defending
Pert Arthur on the west. The area cap
tured comprises a chain OF forts reach
ing from 903-Netre Hill southwark TO
Pigeon Bay. There are q number Of
fortified heights from which Port Ar
thur can be bembarded, and the guns
on these heights can prevent the move
nsnt ef troops by land from Port Ar
thur proper 70 Liaoti Mountain, where
It has boen expected that the Russians
wsuld make their last stand II at any
time the garrison should be compelled
to evacuate the city IL could not re-
treat to Lisoti Mountain only by cross
ing the bay in boats, and the boats
would be within range Of the Japanese
Euns for over a mile OF the journey.
General Nogi's report is As follows:
"A body OF eur right wing sur
prised the enemy at Housanyentao and
6iaofaAtuA, the latter about six and
half miles northwest Of Port Arthur,
at 10 e'elOck Saturday night, and Oc-
cupied the Villages, and, subsequently
dislodEinE the enemy, occupied the
whole OF Tsliehistun, Ave miles north
west Of Port Arthur. at 7.bb o'clock in
the mOraiRg.
Our raRsated attacks during the
past few days were uniformly success
f1il, RRa nov the whole OF the enemys
advanced position; fronting our right
wing, is IN our hands"
The continued success OF General
Nosi's operations have given renewed
hope 10 the government that the for
trsss will sOoR be taken and that the
third arHy will be able to reinforce
Marshal OyRns at Lao Yang.
In the meRntlmo Toxic Is again a
great military camp, and the scenes
OF last spring. when the first armies
were mobiliEed and dispatched, are be-
ing duplicated. Thousands OF recruits
and reseryists are assembled, drilling
and eguipping preparatory to taking
the field. The permanent and tempor-
airy barracks are nlled, and 1t is neces-
sary to billet the soldiers brought TO
the city. oyRma aeld is the centre OK

artillery are constantly drilling.

the purpose OF breaking in the new

Or. ). s. PRETTYMAN.

TN THE whirl incident to the holiday
= preparations the newspapers print
ed a paragraph the other day announce
ing the death OF Or. John S. Pretty
man OF Milford. There was meagre
comment, however. on life that had
many elements OF interest, and a part
Of which had been spent amid Incl
dents which called. for men Of positive
character.
Dr. Rrettyman nrst came into pub
lie life when In 1857 he founded the
Peninsular News and Advertiser. That
was not an ordinary newspaper enter
prise, which may be understood from
the fact that the paper was established
to champion the cause OF abolition.
And II remained true TO It's mission.
Two facts are OF interest in follow
ing out the story; In the first place
Il was the nrst abolition paper south
OF the Mason and Dixon line: ana, in
the purchase OF the old Washington
handpress and type. Horace Greedy
was contributor. Well. the paper
began its career. and people lsushed at
It's editorials as visionary, vet their
force and cogency compelled atten-
tlon. After time the slavery
sentiment, which was very strong. as
serted itself and it was decided that
the paper should cease publication.
But that was not Or. Prettyman's de-
cision. but the conclusion OF the press
muzzlers OF that period
Consequently, a meeting was called
and a mob was formed to tear out
the once Of the paper and smash its
press. But it happened that the plant
was located in the upper story OF a
building, and to reach II, II was
necessary to climb UP a long flight OF
stairs. DR. Prettyman was equal to
the emergency, for when the mob came
bowling az the foot OF the stairs Il
looked up to behold the editor and
three companions. each with a shot
gun in his hands and look of deter
mination on his face. II Is needless
to say that the once was not sacked
that night, but the mob had given
the editor the materials for a very in
terestins story.
During the days Of the civil war DIR.
Prettyman did much in his paper ia
shape and mould public opinion IN
lower Delaware. and to shame II into
support OF the Union. Subsequently
he served his country as consul to
Glasgow, Scotland. and later he wa.
collector Of internal revenue for the
District of Delaware.
And while his earlier career was
amid period Of storm and passion in
which he never hesitated to say the
word that he thought ought to b,
spoken. absolutely Indifferent to tn,
fear Of violence. his later years wer,
as tranquil as summer morning. Fo,
many years ago he became absorbed
in religion, and since then he seemed
to live in an atmosphere not alterethe,
OF earth. And the school children VIII.
stopped TO greet the kindly old maj
never suspected that he had been
militant leader Of an unpopular caus
in the days which tried mems souls.

Was ridged inch-deep with pearl.
