STATUE UNVEILED

BOSTON, May 27.-Massachusetts
paid a tribute to the memory Of one
of her most gallant sons this after
noon when a heroic bronze statue Of
General William F. Bartlett, the
youngest major general in the civil
war, was unveiled in Memorial hall Of
the State house. The unwilling cere-
monies were of simple though I'M
pressive character. The governor and
his staff. members Of the general as
sembly and prominent war veterans
were in attendance. Bishop Lawrence
offered prayer and the presentation
address was delivered by General
Morris Schaff of iPttsfield.
The statue of General Bartlett is
the work of Daniel c. French. 1t
shows the commander standing in
front of his superior. wearing the old
time army overcoat with heavy field
officers braid about the wrists and
breast. The left hand grasps the hilt
of the sword while in the right hand
is held the familiar Grant hat at the
height of the shoulder. The statue
was erected at a cost Of 100000,
which sum was appropriated by the
Massachusetts, legislature.

THEY THINK
HE IS DYING

'Fo' de Lawd, fo' de Lawd, de
mans dyin'. He'll be da:d in a
minute"
Two negroes stood over a white
man who had fallen to the sidewalk
on Fourth av.nue last evening. The
victim moaned and beat his elbows
against the board walk. The man
wriggled and crawled on his hands
and knees, all the while moaning and
frothing at the mouth.
The two negroes turned as white
as they could. In the face of death
they were paralyzed. They made no
effort to help the man. They would
rather have cut of one of their hands
than to touch the stranger
'Iawdy, Lawdy, Lawdy! He's dyin'

Just then another man came up.
He took in the situation at once. In
two words he summed up the whole
AFFAIR:

re esroes to help him carry the man

recovered his breath started toward

THE DEFENSES OF PORT
ARTHUR--JAPS' TASK

was recommended solely from the view
point of prestige. The attempt to hold
it must seriously cloud the prospects
of Russia's land forces in Manchuria.
That, from a tactical viewpoint
Port Arthur should be very difficult to
take by assault is unquestioned. The
Notifications which snrmount every
hill on the land side are semi-inclosed
works of great strength.
Very few of the forts which existed
when the place was captured by the
japanese on November 81, 1894, have
been deemed worth preserving by the
Russia military authorities. Since
they took possession of the extension
of the perimeter of the defenses, as
well as the strengthening of the for
tifications, has gone on continuously. .
Assailants from the land side will
find the hills which inclose the har-
Dor crowned by chain of fortresses
linked together by earthworks. To
the east of the entrance is Hwang-
Chin hill. some 265 feet above sea
level, on the summit of which is bat
terry of four 631aton guns.
A little below the crest, but on the
same face, are two batteries of quick
firing guns. The Hwang-Chin fortifi-
cations extend for a distance of some
25 miles along the coast, in a northern
direction. until the line is joined by a
circle of batteries along the hilltops
surrounding the town, to the second
long line of defenses, starting sounth
around the peninsula from the Man
Tow hill.
At the opposite side of the entrance
is the Wei-Yuan fort, which, again.
is united with series of intrenched
positions composing the Man-Tse- Wing
forts.
The guns here include 59-nch pieces
and finch, lO-inch and ll-inch breech-
leaders, mounted either en- barbette
on disappearing carriages or on over
bank fire carriages. The general scheme
of the land defenses extends to Dalny,
about two hours by rail from Port
Arthur
From what is known of the prep
arations made to defend Port Art
most experts deem it incredible that
the fortress can be reduced by bonn
bardment alone on the part of hostile
fleet, though unquestionably serious
damage might be done in this way. :.
The interior ports of the harbor and
the town would probably be ruined by
high angle fire from attacking warships
Whether the defenses on the land side
could be carried by assault is also re-
garded as verv doubtful. On the other
hand, it is generally believed that the
place can be taken by investment. At
one time it was reported that the
stores and the strength of the garrl-
son would suffice to sustain protract-
ed siege. Later information indicates
that neither the size of the garrison
nor the reserves Of supplies would be
ADEQUATE,
