DastardIy Attempt to Wreck a Train.

At Underwood, w. Va, an attempt
was made to wreck the fast New York
and Chicago express on the B. & o.

required twenty minutes work to re.
move. Had the train crashed through

The siege of Port Arthur properly
dates from May q, when, after en-.

Japanese at Pitsewo, Stoessel was
forced back from the neck
of the Kwantung peninsula.
The japanese landing was

engagement was a severe one and

ties and hopelessly sealed in its rocky
fortress, the gallant garrison has
yielded to its besiegers and the end is
now written to one of the most dra.
matte war incidents of modern times.
At 8 o'clock Sunday night General
Nogi, commanding the Japanese army
Of invasion, received from the Russian
general, Stoessel, a note saying that
he found further resistance useless
and asking for meeting to arrange
terms Of capitulation. The note was

imous character. The emperor of
Japan himself, through the chief of
the imperial staff, has given public his
expression that General Stoessel has
rendered commendable service to his
country in the midst of difficulties"
and that it is his wish that military
honors be shown him"
A dispatch from Toxic quotes mill
tary opinion as believing that the en-
tire garrison will be allowed to march
out under arms and may be sent to
Russia on parole. Late dispatches
from japan have shown that the gal
liant defense of Stoessel and his men
has nowhere been given a finer appre-
citation than in the land of his foes,
and It is more than likely that Japan
will embrace the opportunity to show
her magnanimity and admiration of
the gallantry of Port Arthur's defend
ers by allowing them all the honors
which war permits a victorious army
to bestow upon the vanquished.
The siege and the defense of Rus
sia's stronghold in the far east have
been marked by bravery, gallantry
and desperation unequaled in modern
warfare and hardly excelled in mill
tary history.
The story Of the operations around
Port Arthur is one of repeated fight
