GRIM PORT ARTHUR,
What Members of the Diet Faw.
The Tokyo Aichi Vichi publishes an ac- count of a visit paid to Fort Arthur by members of the Dist, who as guests of the Government have been cruising in the **Manshu-maru. "The members inspected
the forts and city of Tort Arthur on the 8th inst. under the guidance of the Chief of Staff and other officers of a division belong- ing to General Nogi's Army Corps. The account is a readable narrative of the exper iences of the members, and is as follows:-
The principai cause which led to the capi tulation of Port Arthur appears to have beon the loss of East Keikwan and Nirgo Hill forts, and especially the loss of 203- metre Hill and Fengtai. The latter stands pre-eminent at Port Arthur, commanding East Koikwan and Niryo in the vicinity, and on its summit our officer guiden ex- plained in detail the operation of the attack, Tho prosecution of these
of these oporations was wonderful. It is not an
not an easy task to bore a tunnel throught the earth. Imagine the difficulty of our engineers who had to bore. under the enemy's forts through vast mas- Bos of rock. Sometimes the result of one day's hard toil was only a foot or two of pro- gress. The watchful enemy bored counter 1376 tunnels, and it was not unusual for the enemy and our men to meet in those boring operations. When the tunnels were finished, explosives were laid and fired by means of a fuse, as much as 2,700 kilogrammes being used for this purpose. The quantity of explosives used for destroy ing a large warship is not usually more

Bodies of Russians killed are still lying everywhere, as there has been no time for the collection of the dead. Some are already skeletons and others fast decaying, and they emit a foul smell. On one fort we found a heavy gun dismounted by our fire and three or four dead Russians lying near. On another BRussian dead in the very act of load- ing his gun. When we descended into Port Arthur we saw a number of 33 c.m. guns lying at intervals in the roadway--- trophies of our troops-and at the sight we cheered spontaneously. Some idea of the destructive power of modern artillery may be inferred from the fact that the barrel of a heavy gun at the rear of H. Fort was Completely smashed.

DEPARTURES,
The following table is a chronologically arranged list of mail steamer sailings to Europe, America, Canarla, and Australia. Coast ports, Manila, and Japan are not given, for steamers are constantly -ailing for-those ports. All the American steamers call at Japan, and the majority of the Australian boats call at Manila, and, in addition to those vessels, special stramers run there. The departure of every steamer is subject to alteration. The P. & O, mails usually reach London in about 28 days, and the French and German in about 28 or 30 days.

Reckless Prosecutions.
Last night the Lilliputian Opera-Com- pany gave a highly entertaining concert at the Theatre Royal. Owing to the fact that the Company-was-only-remaining in the city for one night the management did not deem it wise to play any set piece,"aud so arranged a programme of songs and dances which was attractive and enjoyable in the extreme. The children sang many good songs, and encores were demanded in every instanco; they also rendered principal songs and choruses in the various operas included in their repertoire. To-day they sailed for America on the "Empress of India. "
some of the vessels were manoeuvring with out lights and tonight's attack will be the most important manoeuvre that has taken place in these waters for some time. The activity of the Fleet is due to General Slade's visit, and the forts are to be manned to resist the attack.

to fight to the death. This view was shared by others. Major-General Bely, who is present here (pointing to him), and all the other Generala wore opposed to the capitulation of the fortifications. As we had sufficient supplies of ammunition to last us for a month, I strongly urged that
another counter-attack should be made, but my views been adopted, no doubt we my views failed to have any effect. Had should have lost some 7,000 of our troops, but at the same time it is certain that wo could have inflicted threefold damage on General Nogi's army.
As I have said, mot of the naval and military officers were opposed to the sur render and desired night longer. Gen. eral Stoessel on his own responsibility dis- patched a commissioner and agreed upon. the terms of surrender. According to the Chief of Staff, General Stoessel thought that had we continued fighting longer and offered to surrender, General Nogi would have imposed excessive terms, to our great disadvantage. The time, he thought, was come for capitulation, and so General Stoessel decided to surrender and agreed upon the terms without giving any previous notice to other officers.

Music is generally an inheritance from the father. His father was a man of a yery rare and highly cultured mind and a great lover and connoisseur of music. Having entered upon his musical studies under William Steinbrund at the early age of 1 and 12 years he already took part in the Concert-recitals of his institution, and at the age of fourteen he obtained the first prize

Then he commenced his first great Con- cert-tours and though he did not succeed as in obtaining a world-renowned yet reputation, yet he had already a call from San Francisco, Cal.

Mr Gershom Stewart said that twenty or question thirty years ago a destitute white man on the streets. of Hongkong was an unknown seemed likely to continue to increase. The quantity now they had increased and scheme seemed to him to touch only the fringe of a very wide question. The dis- tressed British seaman was eated for by the for by this scheme at all, and it seemed to the speaker that the landsman merited as much assistance as the seaman. The fund, therefore, resolved itself into a relief fund for foreign sailors. He did not think it un- reasonable for this Colony to call upon each nation to support its own people when they were in distress. He was heartily glad to hear what Mr May said about legislation, wandering in the dark.

RECOMMENDED BY
THE WORLDS: FINEST PHYSICIANS.
In behalf of the International Reform Bureau and numerous missionary and tem perance societies, and many colleges-also of chambers of commerce and other busines, 2182 associations-I presont snow to you, through your honored Secretary of State, a potition previously presented when the Boxer out- break roopened international questions in regard to China, which we anticipate the present war will do again, so affording Atrategic opportunity for a diplomatic effect to induce Great Britain to release China from the enforced opium traffic, which we believe to be contrary to the sentiment of British people and to the real interests of British commerce, as it is inconsistent with the usual beneficent influence of British power, and which seems to us to be no harmful to the world's commerce through the pauperizing of one hundred millions of people in the homes of Chinese opium sots as to afford solid commercial ground for international intervention, in which as friends of Great Britain we hope that the most friendly powers, the United States and Japan, may lead.
AXATINE is the mildest aperient known. It is pleasant in taste, not drastic but cortain in action and even in large doses is harmless. Laxatine being non irrit able will be found s great, boon, to ladies especially, and in cases where the kidneye are irritable or diseased. Laxatine is strongly recommended by the Continental Authorities and is being largely used in the London hospitals. Messrs A. S. WATSON & Co, L., have been appointed the Hongkong Agents for this preparation.
