Port Arthur Can Hold Out Japaneu Prince at Washington Status oi Frederick the GreatSteamer Ashore , on Long Island Commissioner Ware Resigns. It is reported that a wound received by General Stocssel liu3 necessitated his confinement in a hospital; thai ho refused to relinquish the command of tho garrison, and that he has Is sued orders to the troops to die at their posts rather than surrender. It is said that the spirit of the Rus biun troops has been dampened bj continuous work, t lie lack of supplies and the hopelessness of their ability to make any succttsful defense of the fortress. It Is said further that many of the Russian soldiers are ready to Bur render but that they are kept at ttieli posts by officers, who threaten them with revolvers and that several sol dlors who were suspected of a desire to desert have been Bhot as a warn' lug to others. The Japanese now l0' lieve that the garrison has almost leached the limit of human endurance, Port Arthur Can Hold Out. Insofar as the contents of the re port sent by General Stoessel to Em peror Nicholas by the torpedo boat deftroyer Rastoropny, which craft was Mink in the harbor of Chefoo after accomplishing the purpose of her dash out of Port Arthur, have come to pub lic knowledge, It serves to indicate that th Russian military commandei at Port Arthur regards the crisis oi tho siege as not remote. The report asserts that the Inner lfne of defences Is intact; that the damage to warships In the harbor by Japanese shells is not grent, and that the gnrrlson will be able to hold out against assault for some time. Conditions south of Mukden remain vnchanged, although there are said to be Indications that Important devel opments are at hand. Japanese Receive Reinforcements. Another attack on Etse mountain Is expected to occur Nov. 24, accord ing to Chinese from Dalny. Chinese further report that reinforcements for the Japanese continue to arrive at tho rate of 1,000 dally. On Nov. 14 Chi nese say they saw r0 guns brought Into Didny. The Japanese ?nld they had raptured them. They also saw 150 prisoners. Including tliree officers, brought in. Three more heavy guns recently arrived from Japan. Subscribing to Japanese Loan. One hour after the subscription for the new Japanese loan was opened at the Nevada National bank In San Francisco $800,000 had been sub scribed by the people of San Francis co. The largest Individual subscrip tion was for $100,000. Prince Fushiml at Washington. Prince Sadamura Fushlmi, adopt ed brother of tho Emperor of Japan, called at the White House on Tues day and extended to the president .the good wishes and friendship of the mikado and the latter's hope for tho president's continued good health and happiness. The president, in his re sponse, gave assurance of this senti ment by the American people and wished tho Japanese peon".;' uro3 perlty. At the White House at night the prince was the guest of honor at a dinner given by the president. Tho president received the guests In the blue room and led the way Into tho state dining room. No ladies were present. Presents From Prince Fushiml. Prince Fushiml and his party left Washington for St. Louis on Friday. Before leaving the city the prince sent as personal gifts from the mikado to Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Hay. wife of the secretary of state, teak wood chests mounted In solid silver, each containing costly silks, embroideries, fans, carvings and other articles of Japanese workmanship. Important Tariff Decision. Judge Hazel of the U. S. court has handed down a decision that im ported raw silk wound on "bobs" should be assessed at 40 cents per pound. For years rato silk has been imported Into this country from Japan, duty free, under section COO of the tariff act. The foreign silk merchants recently imported raw silk wound on "bobs," tho work done by the throws ters, which they contended was en titled to entry free, under the soctlou quoted. Judge Hazel's decision will cause the Importers to bring In raw lilk In skeins, as heretofore, and will retain for tho American throwster the work of winding. The importance of the decision is shown by tho fact that there are ,r0 silk mills in this coun try which import 13.000,000 pounds of rn.w silk annually. Circus Robbed of $30,000. While en route on a Mat car be tween Crenvllle and Tarboro, N. C early Saturday morning, the ticket wagon of the Forepaugh &. Sells llroth e?s circus was entered and robbed of $3o,000. Several theories are held by the po iiee and circus people. One of these is that the roMieiy was committed while the truin was in motion and that the money was thrown off the train Searching parties are at work along the lino between Tarboro and Green ville in an effort to find any trace of the money or of any person who might have left the train with it Uo to this time no one has been mUslng liom the draw crowd. Another theory Is that the cash has lieeu hidden In Tarboro and Innum erable search wnrranU have aeen sworn out. Arined with these the reg ular polico and special detectives aru searching evary place in Tarooro thought likely to conceal the money. Improvement Based on Real Business. Reports from the great basic indus tries are more favorable and whole rale and Jobbing trade in holiday and spring goods display a more confident tone. Trade generally is showing gains over corresponding periods a year ago, and the aggregate year's business in most linos will make bet ter comparisons than at one time seemed possible. Money displays remarkable ease; crop moving necessities are about sat isfied and a return flow from the coun try Is apparently In sight. Gross railway earnings show a ten dency to Increase late gains and to swell earnings for the year to totals above those of 1903. Dry weather for winter wheat is a P.aw in the outlook, but may be yet re paired with seasonable climatic condi tions. The coal trade is improving, iron nnd steel are active and buoyant in price, and cotton textiles, long hesi tant, display more life. Speculation tends to become deflect ed from grain, provisions and cotton to stocks, with the result of weaken ing quotations for those staples, but ot expanding bank clearings to the largest total reached Blnce May, 1901. Gains outside of the large specula tive centers, however, point to the ex pansion being country-wide, confirming all obtnlnablo reports that the im provement Is based upon real busi ness. Altogether the prospect is for improvement along lines of conserva tive confidence. Statue of Frederick the Great. Hailed by a military blare of 20 trumpets, whose note of welcome rang out. sharp on the crisp November air and was echoed far down the Potomac, the bronze statue of Frederick the Great, presented to the American peo ple by Emperor William, was unveiled Saturday afternoon by Baroness Speck von Sternberg, the wife of the Ger ninn ambassador. The ambassador inado a brief address. The president made the chief address of the day and accepted the gift on behalf of the American people. Remarks were made by Lieutenant General Chaffee, chief of staff; Major General Gillespie of the general staff, p,aster of ceremonies; Lieutenant General von Loewenfeld, one of the special commissioners sent to the un veiling by tho emperor, and Charle magne Tower, American ambassa dor to Germany. Series of Gas Explosions. Four persons were killed and a scoro of others were injured by a series of gas explosions that completely de stroyed the plant of the Pyle Electric Headlight company, in South Chicago, Friday. The shocks of the explosions were so severe that all the buildings near the demolished plant were badly dam aged, windows were shattered for blocks, and persons walking in the streets were thrown from their feet. Over-pressure on tanks containing gas Is believed to have caused the acci dent. Austria Will Be Represented. In an interview at Vienna between Ambassador Bellamy Storror and Count Goluchowski, the latter said that his government would gladly dis cuss the proposition of an arbitration treaty between the United States and Austria Hungary. Regarding Secre tary Hay's note proposing a new peace conference Count Goluchowski said that he was already acquainted with the proposition and said that his gov ernment would certainly be repre sented at the conference. Steamer Ashore on Long Island.

Company Composed of Men Who Con trol 90 Per Cent of Railroad Termin als Is Declared to Mean the Imme diate Diversion of Traffic and Freight From the Streets. Chicago, Nov. 22. The Chicago Sub vay company, capitalized at $30,000, OOu and composed of men who lepra sent 90 per cent of the railroads hav ing Chicago terminals, was organized jesterday and took over the $30,000,- 000 company here which has built 15 miles of freight tunnels. The vast tonnage of the railroads represented in the new corporation will be diverted into the company's tunnels, which are already under 1 very street in the business district. Apparently in connection with the mammoth deal. Sir Ernest Cassel, flrianrial adviser of the King of Eng land, was here with Jacob Schiff, who is hej.vlly interested. Meu who will enter the directory of the new corporation are Edward H. Ilarriman, the principal factor in tho Union Pacific and Southern Pacific and a big factor in the Alton and Illi nois Central railroads; James Still ruun, president of the National City l ank of New York and n factor In the control of many great Eastern and Western systems, notably the Chicago and Northwestern and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroads, and Jacob Schiff of New York, a member of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and a big factor in the Pennsylvania sys tem. Mr. Schiff, accompanied by Sir Ern est Cassel and a party of other Eng lish financiers, was escorted by Presi dent Albert G. Wheeler of the tunnel company through the great system of underground bores. Sir Robert Flem ing of London, one of the most prom inent bankers in England, was in the party. The subway company has taken over the entire stock of the Illinois Telephone Construction company 66 2-3 per cent of the stock of the $30, 000,000 Illinois Tunnel company and stands ready to take over all the re maining stock of the tunnel compnny. The Illinois company will remain the home operating corporation but owned by the Chicago Subway com pany of New Jersey. President Wheeler of the Ill'nols Tunnel company will retain his pres ent position. He Is a director of the Chicago Subway company and his holdings in the Illinois Tunnel com pany and the Illinois Construction company remain Intact. With the exception of President Wheeler the other officers in the Illi nois Tunnel company it is understood will be replaced by representatives of tho new financial Interests. All the new officers will be railroad men. The deal guarantees the Immediate use of the tunnels by the railroad In terests concerned and promises speedy relief for Chicago from the present congestion. At present the bores are 6V2 feet wide by 7' feet high, although In places the dimensions are 10 by 12 feet. Two thousand tons of freight a day now are handled. The deal Is declared to mean the Im mediate diversion of traffic and freight from the streets to the tunnels; the transferring of all newspapers for out-of-town circulation to the early trains through the tunnels; for the transfer ring of mall between the main post office and tho railroad stations and be tween railroads; for the letter boxes to bo so connected with the tunnels that when mi'il Is dropped In the boxes the mail will drop down to the level cf the tunnels and bo taken immedi ately to the postoffice. It provides a means for the transpor tation of frelcht and of handling it ex peditiously without compelling Hie railroads to absorb high priced prop erty in the center of the city for freight purposes, and freight yards can be moved out 10 or 15 miles and the freight transferred, and having the trains run Into the passenger stations with electric locomotives and doing away with over 80 per cent of all tho smoke In the heart of the city. With these representative interests in control splice can be rented to tho other public utility corporations which wl! do away with the necessity of tear ing up the streets for repairs, and thus bring about a permanent pave ment with asphalt, which can bo cleaned with water, nnd keep the downtown streets thoroughly clean. Assurance is given of ample means for Ihe extensions of tho tunnels to han dle parcels nnd packages throughout the city. Hcdicf Is expressed that tho enterprise will prove highly brneficlaj to the future growth and beauty of Chicago. Arrested For Patricide. Montreal, Que., Nov. 22. Michael Angelo, who Is wanted at Rochester, Pa., on the charge of having murdered bin father, Doiiilnlco Salomon, wa.s ar rested here last nlKht.

The total voto was: Folk, Immii., 32(;,ti52; Walbrldge, Iiep., 29,:52. PENNSYLVANIA BLUE LAWS. Will Be Object of Concerted Attack Ir, Next Legislature. Pittsburg, Nov. 21. Alleghenj county's representatives in the nexl legislature will go to Harrlsburg in January prepared to work as a unit for legislation affecting this end of the stale. Bills relating toreupportionmeui and a primary election law providing for personal registration are contenr plated. Without dcubt a Greater Pitts burg bill will be presented as soon as the house convenes by Charles H Kline. Another important matter to he con sidered by the legislature Is the claim of local institutions, including hospit als, that this end of the state suffered much from the blue pencil when ths appropriation list was being pruned by Chairman Ward Bliss and finally by Governor Pennypacker. The early recommendations of the state board of charities were Invariably ignored. The proposed amendment of the blue laws is under discussion. The German-American alliance of Pennsyl vania will try for the repeal of the measure nt the forthcoming session. It will provide, among other tilings, that "it shall be lawful to sell drugs, medicines, soda and mineral writers and other harmless and non lntoxlcat Ing drinks, bread, oysters, cakes, pas try, ire, Ice cream, candy, milk, fruit, cigars and tobacco, to prepare, print and sell newspapers on the first day of the week, commonly called Sun day: Provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to nllow the sale of any non-Intoxicant or other drink or cigars and tobacco in any sa loon. Inn or tavern licensed by law for the sale of intoxicating beverages." The German-American alliance made the above amendment the Issue of the recent campaign. Copies of the bill were sent to the various candi dates, who were asked to vote for It In the next legislature. Every member from Allegheny county will probably support the measure. The returns re eeived from the letters sent out by the German-American alliance would Indicate a sirong sentiment among the new legislators In favor of the passage of the bill. UNIVERSITY IN PITTSBURG. Mr. Carnegie and Other Rich Men to Endow One with Large Sums. Pittsburg. Nov. 21. With the ex penditure of several millions of dol lars Pittsburg is to have a new uni versity, like the University of Chicago or the University of Pennsylvania.

MOODY TO REMAIN. Reasonably Certain That Heads o Six Departments Have Been De termined Upon. Washington, Nov. 22. It wa.-s an nounced at the White House that At torney General Moody has decided to remain in President Roosevelt's cabl net. Prior to his transfer from the navy department to the department of Jus tice, Mr. Moody himself authorized the statement that at the conclusion ol the present administration he would retire from the cabinet to practice law in Boston. It was stated In this connection thai Mr. Moody has formed a law partner ship that was congenial nnd advantag eous in all respects. This was given as his only reason for retiring from public life. It has been known for some time that the office of attorney general ol the United States was entirely to Mr Moody's liking, and as it was known nlso that President Roosevelt desired that Mr. Moody should continue In the cabinet the announcement made today was not surprising. It is understood that tho president and Mr. Moody are In perfect accord in their Ideas as to the conduct of thfl department of justice and In order tc carry Into effect certain plans whle'h tho president and he have formulated, Mr. Moody has decided, on the request ef Mr. Roosevelt, to contlnuo in the nffice of attorney general. The decision of Attorney General Moody renders It reasonably certain thai the heads of six of the great ex ecutive departments of the govern ric nt have been determined upon by the president for the next administra tion. Mr. Hay will continue at the head of the state department; Mr. Ta ft at the head of the war depart-i-ient; Mr. Metcalf at tho head of the department of commerce nnd labor; Air. Wilson at the head of the agricul tural department, and National Chair man G. B. Cortelyou will be postmas ter general after tho Ith of March next. It Is expected also that Mr. Shaw will continue as secretary of the treas ury and Mr. Morton as secretary ol the navy. A change is expected in the department of the interior, but Sec retary Hitchcock has not let It be known publicly whether he desires tc retire. NAN PATTERSON TRIAL.

The trial ol Nan Patterson for the murder of Book maker "Caesar"' Young was fairly be gim before Justice Davis lu the su preme court nnd when adjournment was taken Assistant District Attorney Rand had concluded his out lino of the stale's case and had examined several of the witnesses for the prosecution. The stories that there would no fur ther delays In Ihe trial were early dis posed of by the announcement from the court that Foreman Hendricks oi the jury, who had asked to bo re lieved, would not bo excused.
