Conditions at Port Arthur.

In the fortress itself the situation is said to be
disagreeable if not desperate. Famine prices
rule. The cost of provisions increases weekly.
Many persons are reduced to eating Chinese food,
and even that is dear. Millet -four costs Sc a bag.
Whole streets and several public buildings have
been wrecked by japanese shell fire. The hos
pitfalls are packed with wounded. The poorer
Chinese are already dying of starvation. Theft
has been made punishable by death. Since the
japanese occupied Dalny, May 80, the isolation
of Port Arthur has been practically complete.
This stronghold has proved a great care and bur-
den to the Russians; yet in 1897, when Russia
relieved China of it's guardianship, she was sup
posed to have acquired a very fine piece of prop
erty. Port Arthur, in the now so popular naval
Technology Commands the YeleW Scs,aand is
thus a "key" to northern Asia. By owning this
fortress, Russia was believed to be impregnably
entrenched in Asia. As a matter of fact, it's
possession has proved to be only a burden, and
Russia would be very much better off to-day if
she had evacuated it at the beginning of the war.

takes mp the subject OF trading stamps
and after quoting at length from our ed
itorial concludes as follows:
e.The New York law, OF which so
much was expected, has run against
judicial snag; as we read the decision
it really turns upon the provision ex-
empting certain business men from the
provisions of the law. That makes it
class legislation. No such flaw exists
in the Massachusetts enactment, and
we urge our Vermont friends to secure
the passage Of law similar to that
which goes into effect in the old Bay
