PORT ARTHUR

The attack on Port Arthur began on
the night of February 9, at the very
beginning of the war, and in the most
spectacular act Of the war.
The japanese torpedo hotilla, sup
ported by the battleships and cruisers
Of Admiral Togo's feet, ran into the
Port Arthur roadstead and put two
Russian battleships and a cruiser out
of action. The next day the fortress
was bombarded by the Japanese fleet
After that, great events moved swift
~ All the attempts OF the Japanese
to block the harbor failed. All the ter
rife bombardments from the sea left
the fortress and the Russian fleet as
they were. On April - the Russian
vessels made a sorte and Admiral Ma
karoff and all who were on the flagship
Petropavlovsk went down to their
death.
A month la:er japanese battieship
and a cruiser went down as did the
Petropavlovsk. Two weeks later Kin
Chow fell and the japanese army
marched on Port Arthur from the
north. On June % the great surprise
of the war occurred when the entire
Russian fleet, several vessels OF which
emerged from Port Arthur harbor to
give battle TO the japanese fleet. 1t re-
turned in safety.
Then followed assault after assault,
bombardment after bombardment, sor-
ties by the Russian vessels and attacks
on forts and fleets by the Japanese
! squadron. 1t was announced that Port
Arthur must fall by July 10. The
strongest attack probably ever organ
lied against a fortress was made. Il
/ failed.
! The assault was repeated and failed
again. Meantime, the outer line of the
forts was captured, the japanese lines
on the east and west pressed In, and
| the japanese fleet was enabled to bonn
bard the fortress at closer range. On
/ August 16 the Russian fleet made an
other sortie. Most OF the vessels We're
driven back to the harbors. The others
took refuge in neutral ports A week
later there was suspension Of the in
fantry attacks, but the daily lombard
ment OF the fortress was kept up, and
/ two months after July Is another gem
eral attack was made. Probably no
fortress has ever been subjected to so
| furious a bombardment, to so many
well organized assaults, as Port Ar
thur, and yet beyond the brief reports
that come from the Russian command
er almost all the news that came to the
world from the besieged fortress came
from refugees, who gave only general
impressions or personal views Of the
situation.
The japanese continued their as.
saults with untold loss OF men, but
they were repulsed every time and
gradually it began TO be realized that
carrying the place by assault, while
there was any considerable garrison OF
Russians in the forts I'm lighting con-
dition, was an impossibility. General
Nogi had general command OF the siege
and land operations, which settled
down to a blockade with Admiral To.

The surrender of the place dates from

his first overtures TO Nogi.

ynr 4RBIan4rIos TREArrEs

The arbitration treaties now pending
in the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations are not getting along swin-
nningly. None Of the southern senator's
who object to the treaties in their pres
ent form has finished his argument
against them, SO that Chairman Cullom
is unable to have date set for taking
a vote. In view of the statement of
leading Democratic senators that the
treaties must be fully discussed, both
in committee and on the floor, the belief
is growing that they will not be ratified
during the present session.
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, has found
a new cause for complaint. He has at
tackled the second article of the treaties,
which stipulates that the high contract
ing parties, before appealing to The
Hague Court of Permanent Arbitration,
shall conclude special agreement de-
filming the matter in dispute and the
power of the arbitrators The Georgia
senator declares that this article is not
satisfactory, in that it does not go far
enough. He has drafted an amendment
like the one which the late Senator
Hoar, of Massachusetts, proposed to
the Olney- Pauncefote arbitration treaty
in 1890. The amendment is as follows:
Provided, that any agreement to sub
nit, together with it's foundations,
shall in every case before 1t becomes
final be communicated by the President
Of the United States with mis- approval,
and be concurred in by two-thirds of
the senator's present"
AS Senator Hoar's amendment was
adopted by the senate, probably Senator
Bacons win be. The senators don't
want to give away any of their rights
and privileges.

will of course be confirmed. We have
no hesitation in predicting that Mr..

has the requisite knowledge of law, is
uncommonly fair-minded and unpreju-

ton. He will work hard to adequately
fill the place for which he has been
named, and he will succeed, as he has
succeeded in filling other important
public places. Governor Roberts has
made no mistake in his action.
