mander of the Port Arthur garrison.
Sunday night at O'Clock"
The news that the Russian forces at
Port Arthur have been reduced to such
a strait that at last the heroic COM
mander has been forced to propose sur
render, follows upon a month of re-
verses. The siege began almost with
the firing of the first gun in the war,
now nearly eleven months ago, and
. when perhaps the greatest stronghold
in the world was sarrisoned by 10000
Russian soldiers supported by a for
midable squadron of modern battle
ships. cruisers and torpedo boats.
These Warships have been destroyed
or dispersed until but a few torpedo
boats remain i'm the harbor.

The garrison. at latest accounts. had
been reduced to about $4,000 men. on
Dec. 1 High (2O3-Mcter) hill, one Of the
ries of forts held by the Russians. was
captured by the Japanese after a Sc
VeRe fight in which the loss on both
sides was enormous. 1t Was from this
hill that the death blows were dealt the
warships that were then remaining in
the harbor. and afterward the Japan-
csc guns were trained upon the town
and such forts as were within range.
On Dec. 10 the East Kekwan fort was
taken by the Japanese, affording them
another advantageous position from
which to assaiI other forts in the chain
of defeBses.

Mining and sapping were important
factors in the capture Of this position
as they were also in the fan of the
Rihlung fort on Dee. % All these
achievements served to cut communi-
cations between the Liaoti fort. de,s-
tined 10 be the last ditch" of the do

East Kekwan events have seemed to
be Fastening to their elimination. for
on Dec. 81 Sungshu mountain fell into
the hands of the besiegers. and only a
few hours later the II fort. another
strong position, was captured.
The report that the non-conbatants
Of Port Arthur had been accorded asy-

been an indication that the Japanese
COMMANDER foresaw that the surrender
of the Russians within brief time was

RussIan War Party Active.

81 Petersburg, March 81. Members
Of the war party, who are at daggers
drawn with the friends of peace, are
industriousiy insinuating that II Rus
sian diplomacy is doing anything in
the direction Of peace. It. Is without
imperial sanction. and Is in reality
only an unofficial endeavor to induce
Japan to agree 70 negotiate on the
lines Of no cession Of territory and no
indemnity. and to enable the sdvo-
Gates OF peace TO point out to the en-
peror that peace is possible without
national humiliation. To show that the
emperor is still recalcitrant on the
question of prosecution of the war,
they are spreading a story to the ef-
feet that when Foreign Minister Lams-
dorff. ia advocating the advisability
Of peace. drew the gloomiest picture
of the situation IN the Far East. his
majesty became angry and lost pa.
tience. The perseverance with which
these stories are repeated indicates

planned at the White House that he is
prevented from holding his position by
reason of the brutality OF white citi-

to the civil service commission.
According 10 the negro's story he en-
tered on his duties at Yazoo- postOfioe,
whereupon certain white patrons Of the

he was caught goinsto and from his
duties. This mistreatment resulted In
the resignation Of Hornsby, but he took
the examination for the vacancy that
was created by his own resignation.
He passed the best examination and
again was appointed While returning
