A wonderful transformation here shuns I was here 20 yeast ago, a few thanties then, now a population of over 10,000, 8 chartered benks, large lumber mills, an irnmenee brewery (said to be one of the beet fitted on the mail:tenth very large dead meat cowmen with modern elanghter houaee and abbatore I firet.olase gold storage plant, &e. The main street of the oity is built rip largely of stone and would be a credit to any city. Busineee kept up almost entirely from lumbering and remohing.

These are great days for the crews of the Chefob Janke that trade to Port Arthur. The clink of gold loonthe tongue wonderfully, and many a tale is told that makes good tending, bob is tee unsubstantial as Jules Verne's romances. The junkmen who reached ()Woo Tan. day deolared that the Japanese advent'. ing along the railway toward Port Arthur had arrived within a mile of the °Hy. They also assert that Etaehan, or the Chair Fort, on the Northwesterly angle of the inner defame, has fallen into the 'mode of thaJapenese. If this; is true the forethought and confidence displayed by the Chefoo Japanese residents in laying up a 'Mock of fireworks for the celebration of the fell of the fortress may not be out of place. Of able' news there ie not a scrap from either Russian or Japanese mono. One moot judge ot conditions of things at Port Arthur largely by inference. There ere Seeen valuable meddles in the baba.. Wets the Ohs. foo dories strictly Warthingtonlan in their veracity the obviate inference would be that et any motnent—.in an hour or a day—the otter would pees Into Japan's hands. If the oalaotrophe is so ilea, the Rowton naval adore should either be blowing up their Mune or fight. ing Togo, in the hope of aiming sem Wane before the end. They are doing neither the one thing or the other, and therefore we must believe that the oon. dibion of the garrison is not yet beyond all hope. The fall of the Chair rat we imagine would be feta to the Bogdan defeeee, for them are praotimelly no tenable pofiltions beiween it and the West Pert. There ie still nothing to mead from the Northern scan. The authorities at Tokio deem it Well to withdrew the etaternent that the Jepson° army bee occupied Anshenshan. There has been praetioally no change in the position of the opposing forme lot almost ttto Woke. The Athold and Grozevoi are still at Shanghai and dill 5y109 tbe Hessian flag. Repaint have been etiepended on there, but the Japanese derriere that if the shine are not diettiantled at 0000 or forded to leave port they Will come in and take them, This ie no empty threat, for to Japanese bablethip Ilea off the river month ready to °any it out. A. babble - in Shanghai harbor might be a ',aim thing for the maps of the greet trading nations and lead to litiTiOne oomplioations, but it la namely likely that Any power would attempt to forcibly prevent Japan from seining the Aekold end Grozovoi. A day or Iwo will bring matters to a oriels there. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Wilberb Ainlay is Hating in- Listowel, Harry Ainlay Sundayed in White- oburoh. A. and Kn. Coueley were in Seatorth last Sunday.
