Port Arthur TO Be Abandoned.
Ry Associated Press.

Paris, Feb. ls-There is growing be.
lief among the embassies and high mill
tary authorities that Port Arthur will
be abandoned by the Russians, the move.
ment being forced on account of the
fact that the place has practically been
besieged. The grounds OF this belief
are stated in the following;
Admiral Togo's ship on the watch at
the entrance OF the port, preventing in
gress or egress, thus establishing a vir.
trni blockade and cutting Off tie chances
OF relief from seaward. The Japanese
troops near New Chwang and other
points on the Liao-Tung peninsula are
able to interrupt the railroad forming
the line of communication and supplies
between Port Arthur and Hnrbn. The
result is the gradual investitnde of Port
Arthur within the japanese naval and
military lines. II will require bold
action on the part OF the Russian forces
TO prevent the final accomplishment Of
the invcstiturc and slow reduction of
Port Arthur"

INSURANCE WRITER'S
ASK FOR IMPROVEMENTS

tanks be built--one onthe Coil hill across
from the Baltimore & Ohio depot and the
other near Pinnickinnick, on the same
level with the present tanks and that
these be connected with the Others BY
y inch mains. 1t was further recon-
mended that the site OF the fire de-
partment be changed from Traders alley
TO a street. In this connection it was
asked that the city buy suitable lot
and build a modern and proper brick or
stone building for the fire department.
In addition to such department II was
recommended that a department be es.
tablished and stationed in Glen Elk. IT
was also recommended that an engine
be purchased and stationed in Glen Elk
to be used in any part of the city. They
also asked that hook and ladder wagon
fully equipped be purchased.
The Improvements, it is estimated by
the chairman Of the water committee
win cost 100000. but the mayor says
they win cost in the neighborhood Of
s250.OO0.
The underwriters had made thorough
inspection Of the water works and fire
department. They were wen pleased
with the latter, liked the way the
horses were trained and praised the ef.
iciency Of the men, but they did not
think the department was adequate.
Unless these Improvements are mad,
the impression is that fire insurance
rates will be greatly increased.
The matter win be taken up at to.
nights council meeting and action cl
some sort taken.
