Since the Japenese bombardment:1 m

everybody. is asking why the place is er
Called Port Arthur, arid nobody tee
seethe to knotv the reason. The hay n
no doubt lutd, and probably still
has, a Chinese name, but nowadays w
evert the Russittrie call the harbor by 41,3
its rertgliett title. In 18157, before „,"
the war which England and France ea
declared against China, an English Lee;
cruiser, named the Algerine, entered L.',
the bay at the end of the Liao Tung we
peeinsula, and is said to bave been aa
the first European veseel to do eo, w
'rhe commander of the erttiver bap- 80
poled to be Captain W, Arthur, and fe4
the crew, not knowing what _the de,
Chaim called it, gave the harbor W
the name of their taptain, and tho 02
title ban stuck to it ever since. art
Now, however the Iturtakes are ere- on
dited with the intentiou of altering tr
th'e mete and calling the place Pert ca
Nicholas, after the Czar. They will tee
probably wait .antii the port is safe ea
from capture by Admiral Togo, for,
