With all Russia hanging breath sly
on the fate of Port Arthur. even y...,h
a national event AZ the christening Of
the Csarevitch is robbed Of much OF
the prominence which would otherwise
be accorded 1t, and st. Petersburg to-
night is dim and silent with no syn
of festivity. Although the fairy-Hke
grounds Of Peterhof are gay with, f,sgs
and though the great palace Is filled
with distinguished guests. the scene
resembles more of q weighty interna-
ticnal conference than that Of q gath
ering Of merrymakers.
The capital tonight is filled with
sinister rumors Of Port Afthurs desper-
ate straits. The superstftious are pre-
dieting the fall OF the fortress on
the day of the baptism Of the Care
witch. but this IL easily traceabie to
the fact that several big Russian re-
verses have occurred on Russian fete
days
1t is reported that a message was
received from Lieutenant-tSeneral
stoessel tonight which was SEM from
Port Arthur on the night Of august %.
by way OF Chefoo, saying that q des-
perate assault by the Japaneso had
been in progress during the previous
forty-eight hours. No confirmation Of
hts report can be had.
While the general stan does not con-
oeal its anxiety. the best military au-
thorities have not abandoned the hope
that General Stoessel WIN be able to
hold out.
This more hopeful view II somewhat
borne out by an unofficiai dispetch from

some of our northern localities. Doubt
less a good many OF our readers have
tried at various times to grow lemons

was that the tree had not been grated.
The lemon tree that is to bear good
