TOGUS IPORK.
Writing of the destruction of the Russian fleet at l'ort Arthur, the Tokyo correspondent
of The Times states:-
Whatever Toge reports professionally the nation believes implicitly, and, besides, he has the reputation of being the keenest sighted man in the navy. He alone delected the nature of the Petropavlomiß's catastrophe, Hisofficers standing beside him on the bridge of the flag ship had no certain knowledge of the Russian war vessel's terrible fate until Togo turned and announcer it. So soon, then, as he published a responsible statement of the things seen with his own eyes everyone was convinced. Imme diately afterwards appeared his general order announcing that no longer need any watch be kept for a sorte by the enemy's fleet. This document was couched in language well calculated to win the applouse of Tego's countryinen. The educated Japanese is before everything a stylist. Hy drawing on the al most limitless treasures of the ideographs he obtains delicacies of diction and refinements of meaning which, without suggestion of effort, indicate perfect fambarity with the classic medium. Probably Togn upphed the skeleton only of his order; an erudite secretary furnished the flesh and blood However that may have been, the order presented itself to the nation in a form which an English translation almost outrages. Everything dat had to be said was said by it in the most direct and shapely style, without the least shadow of boastfulness and with entire sell-elfarement. Especially commendable was the high and generous tribute paid to the sister-service. I was the army that Tngo placed in the forefront

IN PORT ARTHUR CHEF30
AND SHANGHAI,
STRONG INDICTMENT OF OFFICIALS.
The siege of Port Arthur has already served topic for many descriptions. There has been, however, little said about the life 'and- the sufferings of non-combatants, who had the misfortune to be shot in this fortress and to be at an inferior tank as officials or humble em- 11.

Evidence was called in support of the claim that the delivery was short, and considerable ime was occupied in comparing marks and numbers of the prices received, as compared with the marks and numbers on the Bill of Lading.
One witness, who was superintending the reception of the cargo, found the shortage to be fifty-five piculs and thirty calties. He reported the matter to his hong, and Messrs. Gibb, Liv- jegston and Company were informed of it. He added that he found out the shortage at
the time of delivery on his lighter from the defendants' lighter.
