PORT ARTHUR FALLEN.

Russia was made sad on the
first day Of the new year by the
surrender Of Port Arthur to the
Japanese forces. The laps were
successful at Port Arthur after a
siege lasting many months, dur
ing which time there occurred
much merciless fighting. The
defense made by the Russians
must be called heroic, but the
surrender is a blow to their hopes
of final victory over their plucky
little adversaries.
