Only ten men who have held the
once OF President reached or sur
passed Mr.. Cleveland's present age of
6S; oaly six exceeded 1t by SO much
as ten years. and none exceeded It by
quite twenty years. Only ten Presi-
dents have survived their retirement
from once longer than Mr.. Cleveland.
and four Of these lived to great age.
Washington. who survived his re-
tirement less than three years.
thought himself an old man when he
vas hrst made President at the age
u 81. John Adams survived his re.
trement q quarter of a century, and
Ills son. John Quincy, who outliyed his
etirement nearly twenty years. was
he only President who had nearly as
conspicuous a public career after oc-
'upying the Presidency as before.
MOnp0e's six years after his retire
nent from once were passed in COM
,arattve obscurity as a resident OF
his city. and his dying hours were
embittered by scandalous accusations
n connection with Jackson's seizure
IT Spanish forts in Florida during the
1rst Seminole war.
Polk outllved his retirement less
han year. and there is every reason
o suppose that had Arthur compassed
his ambition of an election to the
Presidency in 1884 he would have
lied early in his term. for he outlived
lis retirement less than two years.
Tyler, who outlived his retirement
twenty years, emerged from obscurity
7ear the end OF his life to preside over
he vain Peace Convention on the eve
of the civil war. He afterward served
In the Congress OF the Confederate
States.
Buchanan lived more than seven
rears after his retirement. and took
the opportunity to write what was in

Jefferson and Jackson were the only
Presidents who exercised \ really
owerful influence over party councils

an active politician as long as he had
aope OF renominntion at the hands OF
any party.
Johnson was the only retired Presl-
ient to enter the United States Sem

only one to serve in the House OF
Representatives.
Cleveland and Harrison, nave been
he only retired Presidents to be cen
spicuously successful in private busi-
ness. 1t is not generally known that
Mr.. Cleveland still serves as consult
ing counsel IN law cases, in which his
experience In the ONCE Of President
may be supposed to have given him
special qualifications as an adviser,
His fees In such cases are large, as
were those OF Mr.. Harrison as a legal
adviser and a lecturer on constitutions

Dressed in Best to Die.
Incident of Port Arthur Siege,

The London Times publishes the
following account written by Japan
ese engineer officer of the preaching
of the defenses of North keekwanshan
(Cockcomb hill fort) at Port Arthur.
1t was thus that the capture was
announced by the otticia Gazette of
Cockscomb hill, which was the begin
ming of the series of distinctions and
captures OF important stronghold of
the Russians at Port Arthur:
On the 9th of October, in the year
of METH, part of the walls of North
Cockscomb hill fort was blown up by
our working party, and the infantry
assaulted successfully and occupied
the fort securely by the 2Sth.
On that day at about r. 80 p. N. the
working party in the right wing came
across an opening measuring about
ten centimeters by ten centimeters,
from which issued a strong smell of
coal tar. The discovery was made
thirtytwo meters from the entrance
of the gallery leading in from the
sixth parallel. After examination we
concluded that we had fallen in with
the enemy's countermining tunnel. We
found it necessary to locate and, if
possible, remove the explosive ma
terial set for our destruction. This
work was intrusted to party of six
men, volunteers from the imperial
engineer battalion on the spot-ser
geaut Katsugi Mitani, corporal Tame
jiro Takbashi, first class privates
Tomoichi Horl, kinzo Furusawa. los
hiro Kawabata, and second class
private Asataro Matsushita. They
understood the desperate nature of
the enterprise full we'll, and, wishing
to die decently, as the gentlemen SOL
diers of Japan should, they dressed IN
their best and went-to their certain
death.
At 1.30 exactly the sound of vio-
lent explosion rent the air, and the
comrades anxiously waiting at the
mouth of the gallery were assailed by
pebbles, shingles and debris. Mitani,
Takahashi and Fu1usawa we're pulled
out of the crater by means of the
ropes which were tied to their ankles
for this purpose, all severely wound
ed, while the rest sacrificed their lives
at the altar of patriotism and duty.

was un.ec IN ..:rro. ~ thn force

ly demolished our mine gallery. But
at the same time it split the ground
TO such an extent that the outer sur
face of the wall became detached from
the natural soil, enabling us to deter
mine the nature of it. The wall ap-
pea1 ed to be about three meters thick,
of concrete tarred over Oh the outside
and covered with taIpaulln sheets.
This method of construction is proof
against almost any cali5er of mobile
siege guns.
We at once organized party for
the purpose of blowing up the eX-
posed wall. Sergeant Ida, with two
first class privates of engineers,
crawled up over the edge of the crater
into the ditch for the purpose OF
reconnaissance, returning safely, with
a satisfactory report. Then Sergeant
Oku1a was sent with gun cotton in
sand bags along with corporals Horl-
kawa, Fukunaga and private Muzuki.
the foot of the wall, crawling on their
stomach very slowly, and lying down
at every few PAGES, feigning death.
They placed and fred the gun cotton.
The explosion tore the wall of the
ground, leaving gap of four cent?
meters between. The Russians took
not the slightest notice of 1T. Per
haps they imagined that to be an I'M
pact of Jaanese she'll. We again i'll
serted large quantity of gun cotton
under the wall and exploded it. This
made hole, but not sufficiently large
for our assaulting party to enter. So
the persistent engineers determined
upon the third attempt. They shot
down several of the Russians who
looked wonderingly out of the rent.
The third attempt was entirely sue
cessful. This time the explosion of
the gun cotton tore hole in the solid
masonry of concrete about one meter
in height and one and a half meters
wide. Through this aperture twelve
grenades we're thrown in, and under
the cover of the smoke and confusion
party OF infantry numbering not
more than half company filed in and
occupied the part of the underground
cham ber; the other part still remained
in the possession of the enemy. The
Japanese andRussian combatants were
separated only by the thin khaki col
ored wall of sand bags between.
We slowly and steadily advanced,
inch by inch, each soldier pushing III
front of him a bag of sand or par
affin tin filled with shingle. The
sound of bullets striking these PAL
affin tins was weird in the extreme.
The Russians sought protection under
the cover of steel plate partitions,
striving stubbornly and yet i'll vain to
stem the tide of theJapanese advance.
The steel plates we exploded; the sand
bags we simply pushed aside. Thus
within twenty-four hours after the
breach the whole of North Cockscomb
hill fort was firmly and effectively oc
cupied by the Japanese.
