THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1904.

Mr. Chamberlain, speaking at Luton, sald that Lord Rosebery had elicited from Mr. Balfour statements of the greatest import ance, and more momentous than any he had hitherto made, Mr. Balfour's speech marks
It is reported that Japanese troops have been a stage in the great controversy. "I have withdrawn from Port Arthur to reinforce the no more idea of going back to the protectronps now attacking at Mukden. tion of fifty years ago than to the free trade of fifty years ago." Mr. Balfour seems to bave considered that it might be necessary to take a second election, on the question of preference, but Mr. Chamberlain was unable to understand the necessity for a second plebiscite involving two general elec- tions. This was the only blemish in Mr. Balfour's plan, which brings before ua visions of Imperial trade, which neither our ancestors nor ourselves ever dared to anticipate.

San Francisco, 151 October, In spite of their desperate efforts of the past week and an almost unbroken series of assaults the Japanese forces at Port Arthur have failed to effect the capture of any vital position.
The inner line of Russian defenses still re- mains intact.
The repulse of the Japanese assaults on Itseshan and Autsesh in forts proved to be the most severe of any experienced at Port Arthur, and the losses are compared with those at Lianyang.
While cruising along the Lisatung coasts in search of Chinese junks trying to run the blockade at Port Arthur with contraband a Japanese gunboat encountered a duating mine, believed to be one of those scattered about by
the Russians, and was sunk.
All hands are repaited to have perished.
NAVAL RECONNAISSANCE AT
PORT ARTHURU,
JAPANKAR BUDEJ :CKET'S NARRATIVE.
The Mainichi correspondent at Sasebo sent the following interesting communication to his paper on the 25th ult-On the night of the 13th inst, some of the Japanese warships were despatched to the mouth of Port Arthur to make a 'forced reconnaissance there. - A blue- jacket who was present on this occasion is now in the Naval hospital at Sasebo. He related what he had witnessed as follows:-
When we left a certain place, under com- mand of Lieutenant Kawanami, ou the right of the 13th inst., for the mouth of Port Arthur, it was very dark, and nothing but the sound of the waves was to be heard. Although our movements were much harrassed by the search lights from the battery on Hwankinshan and many others, the circumstances were otherwise very favourable to our undertaking. But, alas, just when we were about to enter the mouth of the port, one of the search-lights was suddenly turned upon us. The fact of our presence wes communicated to every other battery and almost all their search-lights were concentrated upon cur vessels. As we were just under their batteries, we could do nothing but retreat. We instantly changed our course, but at the same
It is believed the determined character of the assaults indicates that the Japanese, realizment the volleys froin their batteries fell ing the approach of winter, are making a last desperate effort to storm the citadel.
The Japanese adinit themselves baffled at Port Arthur and are now preparing to starve the garrison into surrender.
The plan of carrying the fortress by assault has been declared unfeasible and has been abandoned,
The besieging army is now reparing to winter in its lines of investment and a long and spiritless reduction of the place is looked for.

Kaising this she brought it down with a resounding smack on the lever, and the Fathomer at once proceeded gracefully on her way to her watery home, a bottle of champagne, draped in a small silken "Star and stripes, being broken on her bows, "for luck," as she glided slowly away. Everything went off without a hitch, and as the vessel moved down the slips, cheers were raised from the assembled company, as well as from the crowd of employes standing around, while a perfect fusilade of Chinese crackers, broke out as the vessel took the water. She was then towed to a mooring alongside the wharf where she will be fitted with her engines and boilers, and receive the final touches, before taking up her new sphere of usefulness, after being turned over to the US. Philippine Government.
The vessel safely launched, the company ad- journed to the Club-room, at the invitation of Mr. W. B. Dixon Chief Manager, and Mr. R.

After the toast "Success to the Fathomer," had been honoured in due form, Mr. Dixon aid that, al hough one of the conditions to be ob seves at this small function was that there was to be "no specchitying," it was, under the circumstances, impossible to let it be so, as the thanks of all were due to the lady who bad come forward to send the new boat, which she had christened the Fathomer, to the waves: He took the opportunity of presenting her with a piece of bijouterie, in token of the thanks of the Dock Company, for her kind consent to launch her husband's new boat.

These were the persons responsible for the many details appertaining to the performance. while the names of those who took the audience for the cruise in the Impossibleare set out below, On the Friday night a certain number of men from all vessels had the pleasure of going aboard the Cry, and on the Satur day the ship's company extended an in- vitation to the Vengeance. The Cressy enter tained her guests royally, and considering that it took three launches to tranship the men an idea can be formed of the number present. An excellent supper, comprising all good things procurable, was provided, and between 400 and 500 guests, besides their hosts, did justice to it. The Centurion and the flagship kindly lent launches to facilitate the transporta tion of the guests. Of those performing, L Evans was especially clever in his impersona: tion of "Captain de Clare," his proper parl being that of "Jack Stay A.B.," who, in the course of the burlesque, personates the captain, aided by "Marian Sweetlove," who steals the

On the captain arriving on of an able seanian, he is placed under arrest by the pseudo captain, "Jack Stay," who keeps up the role during the remainder of the play. The songs were all rendered with spirit and go, and especial mention should be made of W. Hell and C. Anderson in their duets, "All's Well," and "Larboard Watch." Lieut. S. D. Blair
