Everything goes to show that, including scamen, the garrison of Port Arthur must have amounted originally to nearly 60,000 of all ranks; instead of 30,000 as was gene- rally supposed. The prisoners are distributed among six towhs in Ja pan, much the largest number (16, 000), being in Osaka.

Pobably an explana: tion may be found in the fact that the sum lying in the public chest when the fortress capitulated did not amount to £20, although about £330, 000 had 'been conveyed thither a short time previously.

Gen. Nogi, at his meeting with Gen. Stoessel, immediately after the capitulation, signified his intention of taking measures to preserve all the graves of Rusdian officers, and asked whether the Russian commander had any behest to make in that sense. It was 'then that Stoessel spoke of "Roman's sepulchre." (Roman was Kondratenki's christian name), and that all reverence might be d to -it. These incidents about Sondratenko's death and burial are recorded in the precis of the meeting between Nogi and Stoessel; they were not related by Gon.

One leading journal asks whether the morality of the west is really so difierent from the morality. of the east, and another recalls the maxim of Confucius, "A gentleman never speaks ill of those whose , so ciety ho has frequented." Immediate- ly after the fall of Port Arthur there was a Sort of going out of Japan's heart toward Russia. Japanese sol- diers sympathized with the intense mental suffeting which, as they sup- posed, must have been the lot of the officers that had surrendered the fortress, and ad for the Japanese in general their kindliness of heart and their innate sense of comradeship dis- posed them to feel friendly towards men who had fought so stoutly © aud yielded with af nt grace! But these unsoldierlike reeriminations among the Russian officers; as well as their luxurious lives and their com- plete insouciance in the presence of their country's misfortunes, 'seems to have set back the hand on the dial of Japanese rapprochement. WHITNEY REWARDS TORONTO. Surgical Operations on Provincial . Treasury. Toronto Star Toronto has not been strongly tory to no purpose. The Whitney govern- ment is paying it for its services; the last réward is a grant of $300,000 for a new general hospital. The defence for this grant is that the hospital is to be used as an auxiliary to. the School of Medicine. It will relieve the citizens of Toronto from a heavy bill in connection with caring for their own sick. Dr. Beattie Nesbit and Dr. Pyne are cvidently getling in their fine 'work. A few more surgical oper ations of this sort on the provinzial treasury would leave the fmances of the province in bad shape: It is an evil precedent. Kingston is in need of improved hospital accom- modation. It has an efficient medical ¢} school doing valuable service for the eastern part of Ontario. The medical authorities in the Limestone City should new request a similar grant. Nr. Whitney would find it difficalt to refuse as the east will not submit to the favoritism shown Toronto. But | the practice of granting aid to such institutions is vicious. The treasury is sufficiently taxed in providing aid for idiots, lunatics, 'the deaf and the blind, but each community should support its own hospitals. These in- stitutions, when properly run, are never in deep water, and it. is well that the charitably disposed should have this outlet for their philan- thropy. Begin to make them govern- ment grants and voluntary aid will cease, The citizens of Toronto have, how ever, mever' had open' purses. There are no Strathcomas, © Motnt-Stephens, and MacDonalds in the city, Even when the late George Gooderham, the multi-millionaire, died, he left nothing to charity, making as his excuse the succession duties! demanded by the fontasie government. BEN IS A SECOND NOAH. Makes Preparations Against the End of the World. Benton Harbor, Mich., May 30.-- Benjamin, of the Flying Rollers, the queer religious sect who are building what they call the City of David just outside the limits of this city, is get ting together a variety of animaly which he says will equal the collection made by Noah. Benjamin says that his object is the same as Noah's, for it is prophesied that the world will come to an end shortly after the termination of the Chicago teamsters' strike. Up to date Benjamin has collected a mon key, a parrakeet, cockatoos, parrots, Austrian pigeons, many song: birds, a Jelgian hare, an Austrian sheep and a goat. Most of these were brought over by the sect fromy Australia and more ani- mals are expected with more persons from that country. Benjamin has ®ontracted for an elephant and seve ral lions. He proposes to have all of them when the time comes, " Why Suffer From Rheumatism ? Why suffer from rheumatism when one application of Chamberlain's Pain Balm will relieve the pain ? The quick relief which this liniment affords makes rest and sleep possible, and that alone is worth many times its cost. Many who have used it hoping only for a short relief from suffering have been happily surprised to find that after awhile the relief became permanent. Mrs. V. H. Leggett of Yum Yum, Tennessee, U.S.A., writes: "lI am' a great sufferer from rheuma- tism, all over from head to foot, and Chamberlain's Pain Balm is the only hing that will relieve the pain."
