PORT ARTHUR AGAIN INVADED
Thieves Get Rare Loot Out of Chop

Post and Drumhead COurt-Martial
Sentences Him 40 the soup Pot.

Right on top Of the reports Of Oriental
dissatisfaction a. the treatment accorded
japanese children in the schools of Cali
foFnia. comes tho story Of the latest as
sault on Port Arthur.
This invasion was accomplished in the
early hours Of Sunday morning. though
whether by Celestials, Russians. japanese,
or Americans, IS, as yot, a mooted ques-
ton
~ any rate. Ung Wah. the bland-faced
proprietor OF the Chinese restaurant at
5l5 Ninth street northwest which Is mann
cd after the famous stronghold from
which the Russians were forced 70 re-
treat. reported 10 the police yesterday
that his premises had been entered while
he was deep in slamber, and ruthlessly
looted by the midnight marauders.
Lee CHINO relation 10 Tom Gln-was
relieved of q gold watch and nearly SOD
IN money, which he had fondly hoped 10
take back some day 10 the Flowery King
dom; nor was this the sum and sub
stance OF the depreciation. for cOnsid-
cradle amount OF money belonging to
friends of ing Wah, and a Chinese ring
OF mystic properties, were also missing
when search was made.
Strange to say. no attack was made
upon the chop suey. wherefore the Celes-
tials deduce that the robbers were either
well-fed OF un2ccustomed 10 the luxuries
OF Chinese cookery.
No attempt was made to pUrioin any Of
the costly articles OF vertu with which the
restaurant is adorned. and which were i'm
ported by ing Wah at enormous expense
from the Forbidden City; while ing MADE
oath upon the blood OF a newly killed
chicken that neither he nor bis assistants
had been indulgins In the Chinaulap' g
pauacca--in other words. that the invasion
of Port Arthur was no pipe-dreom. but a
dcplorsble reality.
ing keeps a live rooster on guard after
tae closing hour. a. m; and the sa-
gscious bird has never before failed 10
arouse his master with clarion crow AZ the
least unusual sound. But his gallinaceOus
pertinacity was not in evidence yesterday
morning. wherefore ing is inclined 10 be
lieve that the theft was perpetrated by
some ono familiar with the sacred pre-
cincts. Hereafter. he says, he will keep a
dog and put the rooster In the soup-ouly

vidual. It must now become the
property Of the government, so that
you may not become a monopolist
and have more than your fellow"
How long would the prospector toll
over our mountain ranges if his every
find of precious metals was to be taken
away from him7 Not very long, GER
tainly.
Personal ambition to attain is what
carries the world forward. And it is
very necessary that we should have
great railroad systems, great ship
lines, great manufacturing industries,
great enterprises of every kind, for
each in its turn makes its demand on
other great industries for supplies,
and so on without end. Government
ownership would take away the am
bition of man. If mans ambition Is
limited, if he is not left free to achieve
and aspire, always within certain
limits, then the main spring of life is
gone and the world would go back
ward instead of forward.
