against the forts on Rihlung and Kee-

fighting and great loss of life, the Jap
anese have been engaged in tunneling
under the north fort Of Keekwan Noun
tain. two main tunnels were run under
the north wall of the fort from the
moat for a distance of forty feet and
there were four short branch tunnels.
On the morning of December 1S seven
dynamite mines were laid, the object of
which was to destroy the north wall
and so give the Japanese access to the
fort
The fort had so long resisted the as
saults of the Japanese that it was con-
sidered necessary that the explosions
of the mines and the subsequent at
tacks should be carefully planned.
General Samejima, commanding the
left division, asked fer volunteers who
would be prepared to capture the fort

PORTLAND, Dec. 24.-Irvine Harris.
50 years old, a taxpayer in Multnomah
County since 1865, scion Of a proud
Kentucky family. cultured and Of fine
sensibilities. has gone to the poor farm
to spend his few remaining days as a
charge on the county. He owned $50
acres Of land at Orient, small town in
Multnomah County, which he decided to
his sons. William and Henry Clay
Harris. but now that he is old and is in
sore need he is denied, il is asserted,
the support he naturally expected. He
was counseled to permit the County
Court to bring the necessary action at
law TO compel his children to care for
him. His reply was that he preferred
10 die in the streets rather than accept
any such aid. for the reason that his
sons wives were prejudiced against
him and had made it impossible fOINhis-
sons to provide for him.
Il have only a few days left said
the aged Kentuckian, "and hope am
violating no rule Of legal prOpriety in
asking the county to care for me dur
ing the little time that remains"
His petition was granted, and Dud-
ley Evans, in charge of the County
Board Of Charities. gave him carfare to
pay his way to the poor farm.
I won't be much bother, I guess
said he to Evans. as he left the latter's
office to go to the poor farm. and the
bother won't be for very long. But at
any rate, it will be a place OF refuge
for me. and 1 will have something to
eat and place to sleep. though 1 will
have to walk 10 the poor farm. as I
have not a cent Of money IN my pos
session" 1t was then that Evans gave
him carfare.

PARIS. Dec. 24.-The Russian de-
fense before the international COM
mission which is to inquire into the
North Sea incident is practically COM
pleted. The main features are:
First-That the firing by the Rms
sian squadron was justified as a de-
fense against attack. This entails
proving the presence of Japanese tor
pedo-boats. The Russian delegates
claim they have this proof in most
positive and overwhelming form.
Second-That even if the Russians
were not attacked. they believed they
were attacked. and. therefore, the de-
fensive measures taken were in abso-
lutte good faith.
Third-That at most il was an acci-
dent at sea, where the dangers and
risks are extreme. and was analogous
TO the British battleship Camperdown
ramming and sinking the British bat
tleship Victoria and the recent firing
by British warship upon a coasting

The main strength of the enemy is

dense fogs. The cruisers Miyakc, Sal

and many gallant and loyal officers and
men were killed, but we succeeded in
maintaining the blockade When the
enemy emerged from the harbor our
fleet successfully engaged him and
finally, with the valuable support of

disposing of large bulk Of correspon-
dence concerning Virginia lands. He
has more than the usual output OF in-
auiries from farmers in distant parts. All
kinds of questions were asked concerning
Virginia lands, their adaptability to GER
tain products, etc, and all manner of
questions concerning the climate, social
conditions etc. These letters come from
the cold and blizzard affected Northwest,
from the Middle Western States and
there was one from Mexico, showing that
people from all regions have their eye on
the happy medium ground between the
rigid North and the torrid South, and
that is just what Virginia is.

Pursued by a Russian Cruiser

The Northern Pacific steamer Olympia
arrived yesterday at Victoria, B. c.,
from Yokohama. Among her passen-
gers was Captain Hill, who took the
japanese cruiser Nisshin from Genoa to
Yokohama. He gives most interest
ing account of the trip, which included
n race with the Russian cruiser Aurora
in the Red Sea, and the escape OF the
Nisshin and Kasuga from possible cap
ture by the Russian squadron.
Captain Hill says that when the two
japanese cruisers got throught the Suez
canal they were closely followed by the
Russian squadron, which was evidently
trying hard to keep in close touch with
them. The Aurora, which enjoys the
reputation of being one of the fastest
vessels ahoat, attempted to overhaul the
two cruisers, which, however, put on
more steam and ran away from her with
the greatest ease. From the firing up
done on the Aurora it was evident that
she meant business.
CAPTAIN Hill had long conversation
with the japanese admirals when in
Japan, shortly before leaving, and they
told him that the main object OF the
japanese operations at present was Fort
Arthur. They were to capture that place
at any cost, land were confident OF thelI
ability to do so. Noeffort, the japanese
naval officer assured Captain, Hill,
would be spared to reduce Port Arthur
as quickly as possible. 1t would then
be reforti6ed by the japanese, who would
remain their instead of following the
Russians into the wilds of northern
Manchuria or Siberia. The intention
also is to reduce VladiyOstok as soon as
the ice goes out.
In reply to the question as to whether
the superb gunnery of the japanese war
ships was due to the presence OF bntlsi
or American gunners abroad, Captain
Hill said most emphatically that not
white man is employed on any Japal es'
warship in any capacity whatsoever
From the bridge to Ithe stokers, ever
man is japanese.
