Boston, December 10.
When the wing of the State House here
was completed, about year ago, the dec
grafton of the staircase hall was left In the
hands Of Mr.. Robert Reid, who has just put the
finishing touches to 1t. The central member of
his scheme has been in place for some time 1t
is a large painting of the scene in the Council
Chamber of the old Town Hall OF Boston when
James Otis made his memorable argument
against the Writs of Assistance IN February
1f6l. The work was fully described in The
Tribune when it was put in position and 1t Is
unnecessary TO say more of it to-day than that

sumptuous red robes of the judges glow amid
darker but still very rich tones. The new dec
orations with which MIR. Red has hanked
this painting have been shrewdIy adjusted to its
brilliant key.

ride of Paul Revere; that on the other shows US
the still more famous Boston Tea Party. Each

WORD FROM PORT ARTHUR.
Assaults Are Fierce and Hand Gre
nades Are Being Used.

St Petersburg, Oct. 13.--In the midst
of the anxiety and suspense involved
in the great fight south of Mukden
comes the first word for many days
OF the gallant defenders of Port Ar
thur. The closeness OF the fighting
and deadly character OF the attacks
made are shown by the. fact that both
sides are using hand grenades and that
the Japanese, after the bloody capture
Of an important signal station were
face of the fire from the fortress. The
repeated failure of the Japanese to
hold the footing once gained In the
circle of Inner forts was received
here with much satisfaction. The
reckless feiocity of the assaults by the
overwhelming force of Japanese seems
to make ii certain Port Arthur can
only be held by immense expenditure
Of ammunition, and 1t is becoming a
serious question with the authorities
how long even the great supply known
to exist in the fortress can last in the
face of the japanese attack.
