you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear

FALL OF PORT ARTHUR.

Port Arthur, whose hills have iol
months run red with the blood OF the
bravest Of two war.like nations, has al
last succumbed TO the fierce tenacity OF
the japanese attacking. General Stoes
sci, most stubborn in carrying out The
will of his sovereign, has seen the adj
vance of the besieging army gain in
momentum and energy until TO hold out
longer would have been crime against
humanity.
The conditions of the surrender are
not yet known, but 10 all quarters it i:
anticipated that they are such as an
honorable soldier may accept irOIl a
brave and victorious enemy.
The authorizes at ST Petersburg, in
the absence of direct official news from
General Stoessel that Port Arthur has
surrendered, have not permitted the
news to become public. Emperor Mich
olas is in the south of Russia. and his
ministers are for the time being in the
dark as to what dispatches have been
sent to him from the front.
TO What extent the fall of Port Ar
thur will make for a restoration Of peace
is an open question There is an en-
couraging note in the expression by
Baron Hayashi, japanese minister at
London, of the "hope that in some way
it will facilitate final peace, though the
pacific note is, perhaps, lost in the later
words of the Minister, which calls at
tention to the fact that the besieging
army will nov be free TO go north,
where ii will be an offset to the rein
lorcements General Kuropatkin has
been receiving from Russia since the
battle of Shakhe. The spirit Of the
Russians may be judged by the state
ment of the Secretary of the Embassy
at London that the campaign will be re-
newed with fresh vigor in the spring,
and that the nation will not be co ltent
to permit Port Arthur to remain in the
hands Of the japanese.
Both in Paris and in London the opin-
ion is that the squadron under Vice
Admiral Rojestvebsky, which started
from Libau for the far East three
months ago, will have to retrace its way
home, as adherence to the original plans
would invite disaster without proba-
biity of efiecting a junction with the
warships at present in the harbor of
Vladiyostok.
That japan may not be permitted to
retain possession of Port Arthur without
dispute is shown in the fact that Paris
newspapers are already reviving the
claim made in 1901 that the holding of
that position commanding the eastern
seas by the japanese would be menace
To European powers.
Operations near Mukden are said to
be active. Two large armies are in
close quarters in that vicinity. An at
tempt to break the Russian center is
seid to have resulted disastrOusly TO the
japanese. There are daily lombard
ments, in which the Russians are usually
the aggressors, the japanese remaining
silent. The remarkably clear atmOs-
phere and lack of cover render surprises
impossible.
