anid NO OUERTURES FOR PEACE Japanese Too Busy to Talk on that Subject NOw. RUSCIANS WILL FIGHT HARDER. General Stoessel Presents His Horse to General Nogi Who Accepts in Name of Army. Japan has made no overtures for peace to Russia, directly or indirectly through the United States or any other power, and coniemplates no such action, and now that Port Arthur has fallen, proposes to press the war in the north all the more vigorously by reinforcing the Japanese armies at Liao Yang with the greater part of the troops which have been besieging Port Arthur. This in brief represents the views of Kogoro Takahira, the Japanese minister, who has recently resumed charge of the legation at Washington after a long illness at New York. “The fall of Port Arthur,” said the minister, “is but a step in the war | which Japan is waging for a principle. Certainly it is an important step but nothing could be further from the truth: than the assumption that be- cause Japan has captured a strong- bold, the fall of which has long been expected, the Japanese government will now make overtures for peace. Japan is too busy fighting. We are | as much in earnest to-day, as we were | at the outset of the war. We have made no overtures for peace either directly or indirectly nor have the powers appreached us with any idea of intervention.” At the Russian embassy, it was re- iterated that Russia would fight all the harder in view of the temporary loss of Port Arthur. A special dispatch from Tokio says that at the conclusion of the inter- view between Gens. Nogi and Stoes- gel, the latter begged to be allowed to present to Gen. Nogi his favorite Arabian charger. Gen. Nogi court- eously declined personal acceptance pointing out that it came under the category of war material to be sur- rendered, but he consented to accept the animal in the name of the Jap-| anese army. 3 The Russian battleships sunk at Port Arthur have not as yet been officially inspected. * The portions of those destroyed by the Russians at the last moment scem limited above | water. As there are no signs of in- terior explosions, it is hoped that the damage done to them will be repair- able. The docks are partially de- stroyed and filled in, the gates also being damaged. The great crane is intact and serviceable. Conditions at Port Arthur. Advices from Japanese sources say that the condition of Port Arthur is chaotic, but that Gen. Nogi and Gen. | Stoessel are rapidly systematizing af- | fairs there. Gen. Nogi is prepared | through agents who have been recruit- | ing for months, to put a horde of | Chinese coolies at work in the forti- fying of Port Arthur immediately that | the Russians are disposed of. Vast | quantities of cement and timber are ready on the Yalu river for this oar | pose, while steel plates and other manufactured necessaries are ready in | Japan for transportation to the fort- | ress. | The Japanese are confident that the | refortification of Port Arthur will] place the fortress in a better condi-! tion than ever, with the Russian de- fects eliminated, long before Russia | can besiege it, if such a thing ever occurs at all. Ammunition, food and | medical supplies to last for years will | he sent to Port Arthur, Japan being heedful of the mistakes made by the | Russians. ¢ Protest Against Smoot. i The Ohio conference of the re-or-! ganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints will be held in Col- umbus January 25 and 26. They will protest against the seating of Reed Smoot, or if congress has already un- seated him by that time, they will for- ward a letter of approval of that ac- tion to the government. TRACKMAN PREVENTS WRECK. Discovers Iron Bar Driven in Switch and Flags Fast Express. A desperate attempt was made to wreck the New York and Chicago ex- press on the Baitimore & Ohio at Underwood, 30 miles east of Wheel- ing. A heavy iron bar was driven in the switch with such force that it required 20 minutes’ work to remove it. There were more than 200 people on the train. The obstruction was discov- ered by a trackman, who stopped the train. A number of attempts have been made to wreck trains at this same point and an extra number of trackmen are on watch there at might. No Polygamy for Idaho. In accordance with the paragraph in Governor Goodings message calling attention to the agitation against! polygamy previous to the recent State | election, recommending prohibitory | legislation, bills were introduced in the Legislature of Idaho making the practice of polygamy criminal and imposing severe penalties.

Nearly every window in the bor- ough of Christiana, Pa., was broken by the explosion of 2,000 pounds of dynamite. Forty boxes had been packed around steam pipes to be thawed out for use in railroad construction. When the explosion occurred, no one was near, and as far as can be ascertained, no one was injured. The walls of the Christiana Machine Company’s build- ing were blown in. Every residence and store throughout the town were damaged. The green houses of William Brinton are demol- ished. COMPLAINT IS FAULTY. Court Strikes Out Pleading of Ohican Against Standard Oil. Judge Lanning, in the United States circuit court at Trenton, N. J., filed an opinion striking out the declara- tion in the suit brought by George Rice, of Marietta, O., against the Standard Oil Company. Rice sued for heavy damages under the Sherman anti-trust laws, claim- ing that the Standard Oil Company had driven him out of business from The decision is based entirely upon technical defects of the bill of com- plaint, and does not go into the merits of Rice’s complaint.

JAPS TOOK 25,000 PRISONERS. | Number of Inhabitants at Port Arthur Is 35,000, of Whom 20,000 Are Sick. The Japanese captured 25,000 pris- oners at Port Arthur, of whom 20,000 are sick. The following report was received from Gen. Nogi on the 4th inst: “Order is maintained at Port Arthur by the officers. The people are quiet. minute investigation was not finished until Tuesday night. Com- mon provisions and bread are plenti- ful, but there is a scarcity of meat and vegetables. There are no medi- cal supplies at Port Arthur. The Japanese are stremucusly succoring the pecple. The capitulation commit- tees are pushing their respective works.” The weight of opinion in Japanese | official circles seems to be against a! belief in the early conclusion of peace, | and doubt is expressed that the fall of Port Arthur will materially affect the situation. One of several officials who discussed the question with the correspondent of the Associated Press to-day voiced the sentiment of the ma- jority when he said: “We are confronting a situation which continues to be purely military. The present problem is created by Gen. Kuropatkin’s army and by the Russian second Pacific squadron. We are devoting all attention to them. We anticipate that the Russians will renew more determinedly than ever their effort to drive Field Marshal Oyama back, and that they will strive to gain supremacy at sea. We are preparing to defeat both these objects. The situation makes talk of peace futile.” Adams Declared Elected. Alva Adams was declared by the Legislature to be the duly elected Governor of Colorado. The returns showed: Adams, 123,078; ‘' Peabody, 113.304... Plurality . for Adams, 9,774. A cheer greeted the announcement of the result of the election when made by Lieut. Gov. Haggett. The Repub- lican candidates to all the other State offices were declared elected.

Ten Years the Period, According to Kansas Legislator. Senator Frederick Dumont Smith has prepared a bill for introduction in the Kansas Legislature to make marriage a civil contract with a time limit. He says he prepared the meas: | ure at the request of a delegation of women. In his opinion the pass. age of the bill would do away with the scandal of divorce. “Husbands and wives would get like partners in a business affair,” said Senator Smith. “and | each would have more respect for the other,” Senator Smith’s bill is as | follows: “All marriages celebrated in the | State of Kansas shall be deemed an held to be civil contracts for ten years, subject to all the laws of this State now in force relating to divorce and alimony. At any time within three months before the expiration of said contractoral periods parties to such marriage contract may, by filing a joint declaration, renew said mar- riage contract for a further period of ten vears without further ceremony. In case the parties to a marriage con- tract shall fail or refuse to renew the same all property accumulated by such parties shall be divided equally between them and the wife may have alimony out of her husband’s estate in the same manner and by the same proceedings as are now provided by law.” MANY SKATERS DROWNED. Boy and Three Giris Break Through Frall ice. Frail ice caused by an exhaust run- ning from a manufacturing plant in- to the Ohio canal, was responsible for the drowning of four young skat- ers, one mile east of Barberton, O. The dead are: Ada Williams, daugh- ter of Thomas Williams, of Lawns- dale; 17 years old. John V/illiams, a brother, 12 years old; Katherine Morrison, 13 years old, daughter of Edward Morrison, of Kenmore, an Ak- ron suburb; Elizabeth Mocrrison, 16 years old, a sister. The party started down the canal toward Akron and were near the manufacturing plant of Richard Tay- lor, when John Williams, who .was ahead of the other members of the party, fell. . He lay motionless and the others, evidently thinking that the boy had injured himself, rushed to him. The combined weight of the four caused the ice to give way and thev all went under together. The bodies were recovered. At Alliance, O.. Clifford and Zan Kelly, brothers, 15 and 24 years old, resnectively, broke the ice over the Mahoning river while skating and were drowned. OFFICIAL CROP REPORT. A Very General improvement in Win. ter Wheat I's Noted. The weather bureau's monthly crop report is as follows: The great part of the winter wheat belt was protect- ed bv snow covering most of the month, but was exposed during the cold period of December 27-29. The unfavorable effects of drought noted at the close of the previous months are now less marked, a very general being indicated, espec- ially in’ portions of the Ohio valley. A decided improvement in the con- dition of winter wheat is generally reported throughout the middle At: lantic states. In Central and North- ern California the condition of winter wheat is excellent, and while the wheat regions of Oregon and Wash- ington have suffered from lack of moisture, the outlook for wheat in portions of these states is encourag- ing. WASHINGTON NOTES. Senator Clay introduced a bill grant- ing 15 davs’ annual leave of absence to rural free delivery carriers. Senator Platt of New York pre- sented to the Senate a petition ask- provision be made for the collection of statistics relating to mar- riages and divorces. Secretary Metcalf sent to the House a report as to the needs of the im: migration service at the port of San Francisco and recommends the con struction of a station on the Govern- ment reservation at Aneels islands, at an estimated cost of $250,000. Japanese Sunk the Shios. A further batch of dispatches from Gen. Stoessel, given out does not add much to what is already known. He reports the killing of Gen. Kronden- anko and other officers and the wound: ing of seven officers December 15 by an 11-inch shell, which exploded in the casemate of Fort No. 3. A dis roteh of December 11, from Gen Stoessel, settles the question of who sank the Russian warships, saying that all those in the inner harbor were sunk by 11-inch Japanese shells with the exception -of the Sewastopol which was removed to the outer har bor and for four nights repulsed Jap anese torpedo beat attacks. Train Hits Nitro-Glycerin. Panhandle passenger train No. 1° struck a nitro-glycerin wagon at sta tion No. 15, four miles east of Uhrich ville, O. The wagon was thrown over and one horse was killed. The driver. Harry Ferman was not injured. The wagon held S( quarts of the explosive, but it was not set off by the accident. When the collision occurred Ferman jumped and caught the injured horse, which was starting to run. Three Men Kiiled. Three men were instantly killed by westbound train No. 165 on the Char tiers road at Washington, Pa.: Fritz Litzenswab, of Ironton, O.; John Coakley, an oil man of Washington; Frank Friend, aged 35 years and mar ried, of Washington.

A Number of Sufferers Are Accounted For While Remaining Crew Is Missing. The boilers of the towboat Defender exploded at Huntington, W. Va., and the wrecked vessel, together with sev- eral barges in her tow, burned and sank in the Ohio river. Several ren lost their lives. Of the steamboat’s crew of 36 men, only 9 escaped injury. Five men are seriously burned and scalded, and it is believed they will die. Six other members of the crew are missing, and it is believed their lifeless bodies now lie at the bottom of the river. Some of the bodies may never be recovered. Among the STOESSEL'S PLEA. Good Reasons Given for Surrendering the Fortress. Stoessel’s last dispatch, dated January 1, prior to the surrender of Port Arthur. details the Japanese at- tack of December 31, and concludes as follows: “We shall he obliged to capitulate, but everything is in the hands of God. We have suffered fearful losses. Great sovereign, pardon us. We have done everything humanly possible. Judge us, but be merciful. Nearly 11 months of uninterrupted struggles have exhausted us. Only one quarter of the garrison is alive, and of this number the majority are sick and be- ing obliged to act on the defensive without even short intervals for re- pose, are worn to shadows.” CURRENT NEWS EVENTS.

Investiga- tion showed that the towboat Defend- er and a number of the barges in tow were in flames. The fire depart- ment was called to the scene, but owing to the location of the boats it could do little and the big towboat was soon a mass of ruins. The work of rescuing the killed and injured then began and it was soon found that the loss of life had been great. The fire continued for two hours and the woodwork burned clear to the water's edge. The Defender was one of the big- rest towboats on the river. She had been one of the first boats out of Pittsburg on the recent rise and tow- ad a heavy line of coal barges to the Cincinnati market. road rates for interstate commerce. At the New Year's reception at the White House President Roosevelt shook hands with 7,987 persons. The reception lasted three hours and 27 minutes.

The pool will represent an output of about 6,000 tons of coal per day, and promises to be one of the most powerful factors in the coal fields of Eastern Ohio. There probably will be a meeting at Wheeling within a week. TERMS OF SURRENDER. the | Conditions Submitted to by Russia at Port Arthur. Text of articles of capitulation made public by the Japanese: Russian soldiers, marines and civil officials become prisoners of war. Officers of the Russian army and navy retain swords and a limited quantity of personal property, and, on signing parole not to take up arms against Japan during continuance of war, may return to Russia. Non-commissioned officers and men remain prisoners. The Russian sanitary :corps must engage under the Japanese corps for an indeterminate period. All munitions of war, vessels and the like pass into the possession of the Japanese. Too Many Moves. When she told the court that her husband had compelled her to move 43 times in nine years, Margaret Den- man, of Bellefontaine, O., who was heard in application for divorce from her husband, William Denman, was immediately granted her decree. SQUADRON WILL WAIT. Rojestvinsky Will Not Reach Vladivostok. It seems now to be definite that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky’s squad- ron will not attempt at present to reach Vladivostok. The decision has been reached that he will await the third Pacific squadron, on which work is proceeding night and day, and sev- eral ships of which are expected to | be ready for service by the end of January. It is by no means certain that Rojestvensky will return with his ships to European waters. He may await the third squadron off the coast of Madagascar and sieze and hake his base one of the uninhabited coral islands of Polynesia. In view of the report that the Jao- anese intend to invest Vladivostok, Gen. Bativoff has expressed the opin- jon that if Vladivostok should be blockaded Rojestvensky would be compelled to return. Andrew Carnegie has coffered to give $263.000 to rebuild Marvland in- stitute, destroyed by the Baltimore fire last February. His contribution equals the present total assets of the school.
