Port Arthur.

If Japan succeeds in capturing Port
Arthur she will have secured possession
of the Russian naval base in the far
East. At thi. season of the year Vladi-
yostok. in Siberia, which lies in latitude
43 degrees, is choked with ice and is use
less for all naval purposes.
It was to obviate the difficulties OF
commerce at Vladivostok in the winter
months that the Russians secured from
China in 1898 a lease of Port Arthur
and certain adjacent territory for the
purpose of establishing naval base ana
of building up seaport near by, al
Talienvan, which was renamed Dalny.
Although the term of the lease IS only
for 25 wears. the Russians have proceed
ed TO fortify Port Arthur for the purpose
of making it second Gibraltar, as If 1t
were to be their permanent possession.
The desire of the japanese for the
same strategic position was expressed
before the Russian occupancy, and they
had brief possession of it. By force
of circumstances, however, they were
compelled to give it up.
The Chinese name of Port Arthur Is
Li-Shun-K'ow. 1t is on the promon-
tory of the Manchurian province OF
Shing- -Kiung and is the terminus OF the
Russian railway from Harbin, branch
of the Trans Siberian Railway to Vladl-
vostock. -,
There was only small fishing village
at the end of the promontory when III
Hung Chang, under the advice OF Cor
man engineers, fortified it. In the war
with China, in 1894, the Japanese cap
tured it, and the treaty of Shimonoseki
contained provisions for ceding 1t 70
japan, together with the southern coast
of Mancburia from the Lao river to the
border of Korea at the Yalu river. But
the great Continental powers of Europe
-Russia, France and Germany-vetoed
this. and Japan gave up the fortress and
adjacent territory for 80, 900. 900 taels:
1t is evident that Russia already had
her eye upon this strategic point which
guards the gateway to Mongolia, Man
churiai and Pechil. Since securing II
work has steadily gone forward on Its de-
lenses. but it is estimated that three
wars more would be required to complete
Them. The entrance TO the haroor Is
600 yards wide and is guarded
by forts, on both sides. On the
land side of the town there is a range o.
hills two and halfmiles from the water
front which has been fortified and
rampart thrown around. The harbol
has been enlarged and deepened and
works for various purposes constructed
The provisions Of the lease to Russia
include the understanding that "it shall
not prejudice China's sovereignty ovel
the territory" and that the harbor shal
be closed 10 all men-of-war save thos'
of Russia and China.
In the defense of the port provision
does not appear to lhave been made u
prevent the shelling of the town and o.
the vessels in the harbor by attacking
warshipS.
With Port Arthur in their possession
the japanese would be able to attaci
the Russian forces along the Yalu rive
from both sides, as the troops alread!
landed in Korea would be on one sid'
and those landed at Port Arthur on tn
other. While the Russians coui'
establish base of land operations alons
the railroad farther from the sea, nava
base of any value would be lacking.

Horror Upon Unspeakable Horror.
The scenes during and after the

the heart sick. Mothers hugging their
children to their breasts in love and
terror were forced to choose between
certain death in the flames and almost
equally certain death in the water.
Great preparations had been made for
the seventeenth annual excursion of the
Sunday school of ST. Marks German Lu-

which is drawn from the dense popula-
ton of the lower East and West sides,
and the General Slocum had been char
tered to carry the excusionists to Locust
Grove, one of the many resorts on Long
Island sound. 1t is variOusly estimated
that there were between 1,500 and $500
persons on board the General Slocum

Steamship company, which owns the
Slocum, officially states that the num-

Awful Steamer Horror Occurs

Heavily Laden Excursion Boat Takes Fire

SCORES OF VICTIMS LEAP OVERHEARD AND DROWN
Others Remain and Succumb to the Flames-Dead
Mostly Women and Children-Latest
Estimate of the Dead.

New York, June 20-Sunday's har-
vest of dead from the steamer General
Slocum numbered 40, bringing the to-
tai number of bodies so far recovered
up to 632. Of these, $50 have been
identified, while about 40 of the vic
Tins now lying at the morgue have not
been claimed by friends or relatives.
During the day Sc bodies were recov-
cred, and it was not till after dark,
when the great majority of the search
ers had ceased to work, that the other
Is were found. Most of these came up
from the bottom and f1oated into
shore. They were discovered by the
police. While the list of missing was
cut down somewhat by the identifica-
tions made Sunday, II new names
were added to that roll, thus leaving
the total Of missing over 800.
The Awful Disaster.
New York, June 17.-Over 700
persons, according to the coroner's
latest estimate, lost their lives
Wednesday morning by the burning of
the excursion steamer General Slocum
in Long Island sound while off Rick
er's island and in plain view of New
York city and Long Island shores.
The disaster likely will equal in
numbers and wholly matches in pitt
fulness and horror the Iroquois theater
fire in Chicago last December. 1t was
in its immensely, dramatic
in it's episodes and deeply pathetic in
the tender age of most of it's victims.
AS in the Iroquois fire most of the
victims were women and children.
They were members of the Sunday
school of st. Marks German Lutheran
church, bound for their annual excur
sion up Long Island sound, happy,
gay, care free and full of joyous ex-
