A Wonderful Achieve m ent.

The achievement of the Japanese
in the capture of Port Arthur seems
more and more wonderful as de-
velopments are published. Port
Arthur was undoubtedly the most
strongly fortified position i'll the
word. The place was nicely stu
ated for preparation as an impreg-
nable position. Isolated mountains
surrounded the harbor for ten or
fifteen miles back. These were so
strongly fortified and so we'll man
ned that the Russians were justified
in their confidence to hold the place
against any assault or siege. The
Japanese generals report after pretty
thorough inspection, that they have
captured SO forts, $40 cannon, S2,67o
shells, 40 tons of powder, and 3
266, 800 rounds of ammunition, So
252 rifles, 1920 horses, 4 battleships,
2 cruisers, ii gunboats and destroy
ers and 10 steamers. 1t is claimed
that the original garrison numbered
$4,000.
1t also develops that the lombard
ment that caused the surrender was
not in the destruction of the great
forts. The papers had stated that
after the capture Of 2o3- Meter Hill
the Japanese hauled siege guns to
the top Of this mountain and by
training them on the Russian bat
tleships in the harbor sunk them.
This hill was dominated by forts on
adjoining mountains held by the
Russians and was of no value to the
Japanese except as an outlook sta
ton. But from this hill the Japan
csc could locate every vessel in the
harbor. The location having been
determined the japanese gunners
three miles back behind the ridges
secured the range by mathematical
calculations and sunk the ships al
though they could not see them
T is was a result not anticipated by
the Russian engineers, and one
against which it would have been
difficult to provide in any case. AS
against an attack by sea Port Arthur
was impregna lie. 1t was supposed
to be unassailable from the land side
but the genius, bravery and in
domitable persistence Of the Japan
csc overcame what had appeared to
the Russians to be insurmountable
difficulties.
Much has been said in praise of
the defense put up hy the garrison.
1t has been asserted that the garri-
son was so far depleted that it was
impossible to man the forts; that
provisions were scarce and that the
ammunition was almost entirely
used up. Gen. Nogi's report Of the
number of men in the garrison, the
ammunition captured and the supply
of food at Port Arthur puts differ
ent aspect upon the situation. AS
General Stoessel will be court
martialed it is up to him to explain
and TO show cause for not making
Port Arthur his grave, as he had
sworn he would.

These 50 forts protecting Port
Arthur from land and sea attack
were situated upon double con-
centric line of hills, the defenses ex-
tending on the land side IS miles
out. The forts were constructed of
masonry and each one was supported
by several others near by and all
connected by strong, continuous
defensive works. These works were
equipped with all the best modern
inventions in armament-rapid-fire
guns, machine guns, smokeless pow
der, artillery of high velocity and
great range, high explosive shells,
the magazine rifle, the telescope
sight giving accuracy of fire, the
range finder, giving instantaneously
the exact distance of the enemy, the
searchlight, starlight bombs, barbed-
wire entanglements, the telegraph
and telephone, the hyascope and
many other inventions, all of which
were believed to make Port Arthur
absolutely impregnable, but the
Japanese took the place. Where
it was impossible to attack fortress
with any assurance of success from
above ground the japanese tunneled
under the walls and blew it up with
dynamite.

CITY IN STATE OF PANIC AND
MARTIAL LAW WILL BE
DECLARED.
MOVE FOR ARMISTICE DRAGS
PRESIDENTS EFFORTS IN THIS
DIRECTION MAKE LITTLE
HEADWAY.

LODI, Russian Poland. June 25. II
Troops have stormed the barricades
erected in the streets by strikers.
Fifty persons have been killed and 200
wounded. Martial law will be de-
.clared.
Since early yesterday morning this
city has been in a state of panic. The
strike is general and all the factories
and the shops are closed. Barricades
have been erected at many points.
Rifle volleys and revolver shots are
heard continually.
Many people have been killed or
wounded, but it is impossible at pres
.ent to ascertain the number with any
rexactitude, owing to the general char
acter of the disturbances.
The mob sacked number OF liquor
stores and broke the street lamps.
Street railroad traffic is interrupted.
Situation Very Serious.
St. Petersburg, June 25.-According
to advices received here The situation
in Poland is again exceedingly seri-
Gus. Censored dispatches from LODI,
though giving few details, Indicate
that fierce street fighting was in prog
ress yesterday between the military
and the striking workmen, who barri-
-caded the thoroughfares in various
quarters of the city and offered resis-
lance which the troops met with vol
1eys. The list of dead and wounded
presumably is heavy, but not even an
estimate has been received here.
Russian correspondents telegraph that
the streets are
Entirely in the Hands
of the military and the mob, and that
it is unsafe to venture out to obtain
details.
It is not known whether the fighting
was continued last night, but it is in
ferred that order can be restored only
at heavy sacrifice.
LODI has been in a turmoil for the
past three days. The strike, which EN-
braces $4,000 workers, appears to have
entirely lost it's economic nature and
is now a vast political manifestation
All forms of public business activity
have been suspended, the peaceful In
habitants remaining indoors in fear Of
their lives.

London, June 25.-It is significant Of
the acutenevs of the crisis still exist
ing between France and Germany that
the French government refused to
transmit a telegram from news
agency correspondent at Paris, in
which it was stated that Premier Rou-
vier was adopting firmer attitude to-
ward Germany, based upon a promise
of English support.
This statement is quite true and al
ready has had the effect OF making
the situation more critical than ever.
This is the first time since Paul De-
rouledes plot against the republic, on
the day of the funeral of President
Faure, that the government has inter-
fered with kilograms.

A news agency dispatch from Berlin
says that the French governments
note on the proposed international
conference about Moroccan affairs was

mailed instead of wired, on account Of

points over which France and Ger

closely borders on panic.
Berlin Is Disappointed.
Berlin, June 25. - The newspapers
frankly express their disappointment
with the French note. Men had beer
staked upon Premier Rouvier's Osten
sible wish to come to al understand
ing with Germany, but the Vossische
Zeitung says M. Rouvier is continuing
NJ Delcasses policy without M. Del
casse. The newspapers all emphasize
the fact that the French note leaves
the differences where they were be
fore.
The National Zeitung, in an evident
ly inspired statement, calls attention
to the warlike aspect which the Brit
ish press attempts to give to the stu
alton, whereas Germany does not be
lieve that the present complication

Uneasiness in Norway.
Christiania, June 25. - The feeling
aroused in Stockholm against King
Oscar and the Swedish government
has caused some uneasiness here.
There is anxiety lest the riksdag
should yield to this feeling and revoke
the conciliatory policy outlined by
King Oscar; but among those best in
formed it is believed that the majority
of the members of the riksdag will re-
main firm and follow up the policy of
peace. The movement among Nor
wegians in the United States to petit
ton President Roosevelt asking him
to recognize the independence of Nor
way is favorably commented on here.
1t is pointed out that million Ameri-

way, are now anxious to rally to the
support of the old country. A dis
patch from Stockholm to the National
Tidende says that Premier Ramstedt
has rendered his resignation, but that
King Oscar, backed up by many mem
