f lind4orib tedly the .. decisive battle
of 'the war has been fought or is now
in progregss and every report con-
firms the belief that on -the Japan-
ese banner, rests vie tory. The figh t-
ing tor some days ihas been fierce
and determined on both sides-, with
the Japanese the agre.ssors, and by
r .
'their persistent e.fforts have suc-
eqeded in cutting t13e -Russian army
in •two. They have captured im-
portant poSibions held -by the Rus-
sians,• and have forced the main
Russian . army to retreat leaving.
only a mere fridge, to make a show
et resistance to the oncoming enemy.
This woUld seem to indicate that de-
sfpite a stubborn resistance, the fall
of Poet Arthur as liniment. With
the fall of Port Arthur will pass in-
to "the liana of 'the' Japanese the
most important port held. by :Russia
intim seat of war. It will be a ee-
vere blew to them and will, ex-
perts declare, compel theirRing
back to prevent thei cutting . f iof
Vladis-ostock. Apparently it as a
great surprise to the Russians the
n,umber of men the. Japaneee had,
and -their ignorance, on thie point
SeCILIS to have led thern\into oyeresti-
mating their own str-enght.! The
losses on both sides are reported as
heavy, but the Russians seem to have
suffered he most severely. Among
the Reisaians who met death during
the 'battle was General Keller, one of
their most prominent officers, and a

ection, Dr. McKay, *who had repre-
sented the riding for many years
and who at the preceding election
had been elected by a majority of ov-
er four hundred Was, on thie occas-
sion,. defeated by a young man nam-
- ed Sutherland.' So great a turn ov-
' er in the electorate mused. su.s-
picion among the Liberals that im-
proper means had been resorted to
to. secure Mr. Sutherland'e election
and a pretest was entered against
his return. Mr. Jackson was em-
ployed by The Ontario Government.to
sec -tire evidence to sustain the pro- -
test and to unseat Mr. Sutherland.
He Wee racOused of having paid or
offered large sums of money for
stroll evidence as would imetain the
protest. For this he was -very sev-
erely censured by one of th.e trial
Sledges, who ptonounced very -strong-
ly eon the impropriety ,of his con-
duct. That a man who had been
uilty of such conduct as to mer-
ist -the 'severe censure of tee trial

portant position in the civil ser-
vice of 'the count:Ty, was 'the burden

The Death of Mr. Chambersee-We
made brief reference_ last week to
the death by lightning of Mr. Wm.
Chambers, eon ef Mr. Sohn Chamb-
ers, of Hay boundary, west of this
Place. The circumstances of this
case are peouliarly sad. On the
evening in ,question, Wednesday, Mr.
Chambers was at h'ome alone, all the
obher members of the family having
gone away to attend a pienic in the
efternoon, It le supposed eha.t, when
the storm came on young Chambers
had se ,t to Work to get the cows into
the stable out of the storm. He
succeeded en getting the.m all tied

-was the act lot shutting one -of the
windows in +the stable, so as to pre-
vent the rain coming in, when the
fatal bolt descended. For this pur-
pose the Iliad placed one foot on a
beam aho-u.t a foot .high, and stand-
ing on !the ground with the other.
The lightning first •struck the far
end. of tbh,e barn at the ridge, and
then ran along the hay fork track to
the opposite tomer, -where it divid-
ed, one branch corning down the side,
