A Word About Revenue Law.
There is NO more reason why we
should resolve not to revise our ma

have been at other periods of history
to stop all progress. This is espe.

rooted in our human life.

the farmer, the laborer, the man OF

struggling for an education, the poor

this policy of using the law to give
favors to the few while the many are

merely because power or corruption

PORT ARTHUR AT
MERCY OF JAPANESE
They Can Enter the Doomed
City At Any Time.
RUSSIANS HAVE LOST ALL HOPE
The Emperor of Japan Entertains the
Foreign Diplomatic Corps on occa.
sion of His Blrthday-other News of
the Struggle in the Far East.

Che Foo, Nov. $3.50 p. m.-Port
Arthur is doomed. The correspondent
of the Associated Press here has re-.
ceived information, the reliability
of which is beyond question, that the
Japanese now occupy positions which
place the east side Of the town at their
mercy. The last assault has gained
important positions, which insure their
ability to enter the main east forts
whenever they are ready.
1t is calculated by the Japanese
that IL the Russians do not surrender,
the former will be capable of prolong.
ing their final stand at Lao TT noun
tain and on the Tigers Tail for a
much longer time with the mere hope
of proionging the struggle. Long be.
fore the second Pacific squadron ar
rives the Japanese flag will wave over
the wrecked citadel
This will end Viceroy Alexieff's
dream of an unconquerable city.
The Japanese have not occupied the
main forts and highest points of the
east hills, but they occupied in over
whelming numbers positions which
will enable them to drive the Russians
back whenever they desire.
When the Japanese occupy the east
port ridge, they will completely DOM
mate the other Russian forts with
their artillery.
Tie Japanese are now in a position
to begin the end of the operations.
For the capture of Eastport Ridge and
the siege of Port Arthur proper, they
have completed placing eleven met
howitzers. On the night Of Oct. 20
all the reserves advanced through a
network of trenches in front of the
Eastport Ridge from the south, Kee-
kwan to West Rihlung mountain, call
ed by the Japanese Shochosan. The
bombardment began at, dawn Oct. 80.
Infantry attacks were planned at noon
against the two Rihlung mountains, an
entrenched hill between East Banju-
san and East Keekwan mountain, and
the three Keekwan forts. Tremendous
excitement prevailed among the troops
who we're convinced that success
meant the capture of Eastport Ridge
and the surrender of Port Arthur in
time for the emperor's birthday cele-
bration, Nov. 3.

He did not have the negro discharged,

morning he and l were standing near

also intimated worse things which
