PORT ARTHUR.

Ever since Japan revealed her startling superiority both by land and sea over the army and navy of Russia, the habit has grown of mapping out the future course of the campaign into a complacent series of foregone conclusions. Last Thursday was the birthday of the Emperor, and those who are acquainted with the supreme devotion possessed by all the Japanese towards their sovereign, felt there was a potent significance in the announcement that the Mikado's army would choose this anniversary for the

at Port Arthur. At the present moment we believe that it will fall into the hands of its besiegers in a few days' time, and that the fighting, so far as the Liaotung Peninsula is

concerned, will be at an end. It is univer sally admitted that the situation is desperate, and reports from Tokio represent the Japan-. ese as confident of their ability to capture it without much delay, and this despite the fact that General Kuropatkin recently de-

tress and stating that he himself would rather die than surrender. General Flock is rum- oured to have declared that he is in sympathy with this declaration and should his superior submit to surrender he would rather kill him and personally take command than agree to such disgrace. But that Port Arthur must yield, either to direct assault or to the pressure of hunger, seems inevitable, and any hour now may bring news of its fall, It has been a great siege and one upon, which both armies have reason to be proud.
