AT Port Arthur.

Nothing could indicate more con-
clusively the extremity to which Port
Arthur has been reduced by the per-
sistent commandments and assaults
of the Japanese than the second at
tempt of the remnant of the Russian
fleet to escape from the environments
of a harbor that for a number Of days
past has been a target for japanese
shells.
Fearing a torpedo boat attack at
night, Admiral Togo withdrew his
feet farther away than usual from
the outlet The Russians seized upon
the opportunity thus afforded them to
steal forth IN the endeavor again to
escape to Vladivostok. 1t was a
forlorn hope, though this time, as be
fore, they seem to have gone some
distance before brought to bay by the
japanese squadron.
The number of Russian vessels that
attempted this vancouver is not exact
/ ~ known. In fact, it has never been
definitely determined just what ships
were compelled to return to Port Ar
thur after the failure of the sortie OF
last Wednesday. 1t is supposed, how
ever, that the battleships Retvizan
Pobieda. Poltava, and Sevastopol, and
I the protected cruiser Diana put bacf
to Port Arthur; and it is known thaf
the damaged armored cruiser BayaI
never left the harbor. There wer,
also six or eight torpedo boats in tn
feet
The japanese land attack on tn,
| Russian fortress continues with IN
abzted fury, and even the most Opt
mistic of the st. Petersburg prophet
now acknowledge that the fall of TIT
4 stronghold is practically a question
of hours. The Japanese are said [,
have a force of 100000 men in tn
army investing the place, and som
$50 guns. The repeated assaults o
the japanese have apparently resulte
in the capture Of all the surroundin
hills, and all that remains to be take
is the strongly fortified inner fOrtres.

Regeneration Of Sheehdn.

In 1893 the influential Democratic
papers Of New York were denouncing
William +. Sheehan as one Of the
most dangerous men in public life
His GROWING act was his course in
getting the New York Legislature to
pass and Governor Flower TO sign,
at 2 o'clock in the morning, q bill
taking away from the mayor Of Buff
falo the right to appoint the head
OF the police department Of that city.
For this he was fairly driven out of
Buffalo by the Cleveland Democrats
and the Republicans. and with his

Restrict immigration.

In the presence of a gang of kid
napers. with which the police have
as yet been unable successfully to
cope, with evidences of Iawlessness
or every side, and with the knOwl-
edge that one-third of its Italian
population is illegally naturalized, it
is little wonder that the city Of New
York is calling upon the Federal
Government for laws which shall
absolutely prevent the landing of the
undesirables Of other lands upon
American soil
The South considers itself eternally
vexed with its race problem, but it
is a question if it is more vexed on
an average than are the thickly set
tied centers of the North by the for
eign problem. The situation in New
York may be aggravated at the pres
ent moment, but it is in its main
features fairly typical of an alarming
state of affairs in many of the large
cities Of the country.
The far West, which as a rule gets
only a desirable class of immigrants
and the South, which gets practically
no immigrants at all, find it difficult
to comprehend the conditions that OBJ

OLD ORCHARD, Me. Aug. 1.-THE
Rev. \. 3. Simpson, in behalf or the
Christian Workers Alliance, took up his

About $1,000 of this was in cash and the
remainder was IN pledges, which ranged
from less than 81 to 50 COO.
DR.. Simpson preached a powerful ser
mon on "SelfishnesS, and after vivid
descriptiou % the condition OF millions

lection was taken In less than fifteen
minutes more than $4,000 had been

II added.
The colossal impudence Of his

he was executing this infamous
scheme fUr humiliating the P1e5i-

explained by an utter lack of moral

The BTiton'S Physique.

The British Inter-Departmental
Commission on Physical DeteriOra-
ton has reported, assuring the public
that it has found no evidence Of a
general. nor even a widespread,
deterioration among the English peo-
pie. This should be gratifying indeed
to the alarmed patriot, who has been
fed so persistently by the claims Of
the recruiting officers that Tommy
Atkins was not what he used to be.
However, Tommy Atkins usually
comes from what may be called the
submerged tenth" the poverty
stricken and hOpelessly depressed
populations in the herded centers of
the great cities. In these classes the
commission found quite sufficient evil
dence of degeneracy to warrant the
claims of the recruiting offices. For
this deterioration the commission
chiefly blames liquor and tobacco.
For instance, il finds that cigarette
smoking among boys is increasing.
One member was of the opinion that
scarcely ? per cent of cases of under
growth had not been habitual cigar
cite smokers" Next to tobacco and
alcohol, tea drinking is given as re-
sponsible for physical faults. This
is described as having attained the
proportions Of a vice The report
also says that infantile mortality has
not decreased materially during the
last twenty-five years.
1t is a pity that the commission
having gone so far in it's work, was
unable to recommend anything bet
ter as a remedy for these wretcheC
conditions than greater liberality il
the circulation Of temperance litera
ture and the instruction of children
those methods may be, but theil
power TO cope with the full strength
of the evil is pitifully inadequate.
The complacent Briton needs I,
know that he must fight for self
preservation, which is said to be IN,
first law of nature. He needs to ban
ish the blindness Of selfshness suf
iciently to perceive the perils in tn
present course. 1t is immediate sal
yation that the submerged tenth
needs, not theoretical instruction. I
Is elevation Of thought It is faitl
in good proven by works It is tn
exemplification of love in humani
tartan labors that result in benefit 70
all.
In spite of what the commission
says, liquor, tobacco, and tea drink
ing are not causes. They themselve
are results. They declare the effect
upon the individual OF a life so in
tensely without hope that momentar
escape from its frightful burden /
sought in any sort Of vice or pleasuT
that promises forgetfulness. Povert
causes vice more than vice cause
poverty, and the poverty itself is tn
