It appears that during the attack on Port Arthur a company pressed close to a Russian fort with the object of carrying it, but the Russians poured such a fire that advance or retreat was impossible. The Japanese hur riedly constructed defensive earthworks, where they were compelled to remain for two or three days without food. ` Seeing the perilous situa- tion of the company Paymaster Nishikawa, who was with the regiment, determined to sup, ply them with food, and succeeded in carrying, rice through a heavy fire to the company.

disturbing the patients in that institution. Their path was not strewn with roses, for when the procession arrived at this junction packets of Crackers, by the score, were set alight and pitched into the side-channel, with the result that the road was smothered in smoke. So far they were successful in their mission, but one or two rowdies who thought that the police were not minding their business, got obstre. pernus, and one or two started stoning the police. This did not, last loog, however, for the arrest of a school-boy, who apparently started the affar, soon set the others to fight, and the procession was continued without ado. The school-boy in custody was removed further to No. 7 Police Station and on Satur day brought before the Court. He was fined $1, and cautioned.
