GARRISON HOPES FOR RELIEF. Defenders of Port Arthur Centinue in Cheérful Mood. Tokio, Dec. 29.—Trustworthy ad- vices from Port Arthur confirm the report that General Kondrachenko has been killed and that General Stoessel has been injured by falling from his horse. General Smilnoff is also re- ported wounded. The garrison is reported to be confi- dent in the belief that relief will ar- Tive before March 1. Despite its heavy losses Nov. 26 and subsequently the garrison is said to be cheerful and re- solved to continue the struggle as long as a single soldier remains. The army claims to have sufficient provisions to last until February. The navy pos- sesses about one month’s stores. The price of food in the beleagucred for- tress is high. But few junks bearing supplies reached the garrison the past month. It is expected that the capture of the heights of Pigeon bay will further cur- tail the landing of supplies. ozers con. | tinues a heavy and effective shelling RUMORS OF MEDIATION. France Asks Russia What Terms Would Be Acceptable. Berlin, Dec. 29.—It is believed here that the latest rumor regarding the willingness of Emperor Nicholas to listen to mediation proposals rests upon a fresh inquiry of France as to what terms he is willing to accept in the case of mediation.

Portland, Ore., Dec, 29.—The federal grand jury during the day returned seven indictments in comnection with the land fraud cases.

Ormsby, formerly a government agent, and Clark E, Loomis, at one time forest superin- tendent. Henry M.

The re- port that 11,848,113 bales had been ginned, with eighty-two counties yet {0 hear from, came as a surprise. After the first excitement the mar- ket grew quieter, though the decline was not arrested. WIND CAUSES WRECK. Passenger Train Collides With Freight in Indiana. Fort Wayne, Ind., Dec. 29.—A Wa- bash passenger train, eastbound, ran into a freight train on a switch two miles wést of this city, killing Albert M. Ballard of Peru, Ind., engineer of the freight.

Storm Delays Traffic Throughout the Northwest, Chicago, Dec. 29.—As a result of storm conditions trains on nearly ev- ery railroad entering Chicago were from one to four hours behind sched- ule. Great difficulty was experienced by railroad officials in securing tele- graphic reports of the movement of trains. Wires are down in many places. Points in the Northwest can be reached only by circuitous routes. The mail service of the entire Mid- dle West is in bad condition. Trans- fer connections with a number of out- bound trains were missed. Railway mail officials are hopeful, however, that schedules will be resumed short- ly. There are no reports of heavy anow except in the Northwest. Zero Weather in the Southwest. Kansas City, Dec. 29.—Zero weather was recorded in Western Missouri and through Kansas early in the day, but later it became several degrees warm- er. In Oklahoma and Indian Territory it averaged two degrees warnier.

Cleveland, Dec, 29.—Within ' little more than twenty-four hours the offi- cial thermometer at the weather bu- reau in this city has fallen fitty de- grees, or from 62<to 12 above zero, and the indications are that a much lower mark will be reached before the present cold wave has passed.

INTENSE EXCITEMENT AT MOSCOW FEARED ANCIENT CAPITAL OF RUSSIA MAY BE SCENE OF BLOODY EXCESSES. St. Petersburg, Dec. 29.—It is evi- dent from the reports received from the interior that the fairly good im- pression produced from the im al manifesto on the subect of reforms may be more than offset in many Dlaces by the effect of the government note of warning to the zemstvos. Private reports from Moscow es- pecially indicate that much excite- ment prevails there and the gravest fears are expressed that the ancient capital of Russia may be the scene of bloody excesses. A banquet arranged totake place there on the anniversary of the Troubotzsker revolution was stopped by order of the poiice and the Moscow zemstyo adjourned sine die as a protest against the government note and the return of Grand Duke Sergius, the governor general of Mos- cow. The grand duke is held to be responsible for the note; which may gignal a renewal of terrorism. The Pskoff zemstvo has also fol- lowed the lead of those or Cheinigoi and Moscow and it is not unlikeiy that others will follow their exampie. Altogether the moment is considered aritical, although the feeling in St. Pe- tersburg is quieter. The papers are not disposed to re- gard the injunction to refrain from discussing political matters. Under cover of commenting on the manifesto, which they really accept in a spirit or hopefulness, they do not hesitate to point out the vagueness of its terms and the lack of guarantees. The con servative liberals fear that a continu ation of this course, especially if ac companied by a renewal of revolution ary. activity, will compel repressive measures, jeopardize a realization of the fruits of the victory gained anc /place the moderate liberals in a false position. MOSCOW ZEMSTVO ADJOURNS. ritical Resofution on Govern- ment’s Attitude. Moscow, Dec. 29.—The zemstyvo ad- Jjourned indefinitely during the even- ing after the adoption of a resolution as follows: “This zemstvo, deeply moved by the government’s note in regard to pro- ceedings at zemstvo meetings, is una- ble to continue its business with the necessary calm and therefore adjourns sine die.” The resolution.was signed by thirty- four delegates. Seven delegates voted against it. TWENTY-ONE DAYS IN JAIL. Passes Cousin of Earl of Craven Sentenced for Assault. London, Dec.-29.—A. E. Craven, cousin of the Earl of Craven, son-in- law of Mr. and Mrs. Bradley-Martin, formerly of New York, has been sen- tenced to twenty-one days in jail for a brutal assault on a fellow passenger on a train. The man, while entering a crowded car, bumped against Mr. Craven’s knee with his gripsack. Mr. Craven offensively demanded an apol- ogy and upon receiving a fefusal struck the plaintiff in the face. Mr, Craven then loudly proclaimed himself “a gentleman whose name would be found in Debrett and a cousin of the Earl-of Craven.” The plaintiff de- clared that Mr. Craven’s conduct was not that of a gentleman, whereupon Mr. Craven dealt him a violent blow on the nose, drawing blood profusely. The magistrate, in sending Mr. Craven to jail, characterized the assaull as “most unjustifiable and most black- guardly, for which a' fine was quite inndequate 7 WITH THE UNITED STATES- Japanese Government Agrees to Nego- tiate Arbitration Treaty. Tokio, Dec. 29.—The Japanese gov- ernment has agreed to negotiate an arbitration treaty with the = United States. This is the result of American Minister Griscom’s representations to Baron Komura, minister of foreign af- fairs, who has notified him that his government is pleased to accept Amer- ica’s invitation. Baron Komura fur- ther states that Japanese Minister Takahira is fully empowered to act with Secretary of State Hay and form and sign a treaty of the kind at Wash- ington. Although as yet undrafted it is expected that this instrument will be modeled on similar lines with a series of treaties recently signed by President Boosevelt and Secretary Hay, .embodying the most advanced prin¢iples of interna{®nal policy. SAM GIVEN LIFE TERM, Former President of Hayti Sentenced| to Prison. Port au Prince, Hayti, Dec. 29.—A judgment in default, rendered by the court, condemns former President Sam to imprisonment for life at hard labor for the alleged issue of fraudulent bonds.

Y., Dec. 29.—Contrary to his expectations Sheriff Barry of Cleveland did not carry with him on his return to New York during the day a warrant for the extradition of Dr. Leroy S. Chadwick, but he -will undoubtedly receive the papers in New York later. The sheriff came to the executive chamber during the morning with his counsel, Judge John T. McDonough. The requisition of Governor Herrick of Ohio was presented to Pardon and Re- quisition Clerk Joyce, who, after a short examination pronounced it sufi- clent. His examination was confined to the affidavit of the district attorney of Cuyahoga county certifying the au- thenticity of that part of the grand Jjury minutes that contains the testi-- mony of Iri Reynolds to the effect that Dr. adwick was in Cleveland on March 5, 1903, when the forgery charged against him is alleged to have been committed. It was the lack of this proof that caused Clerk Joyce to refuse the extradition warrant when Sheriff Barry made his first call last Monday. Clerk Joyce said that he wished to communicate with Governor Odell -be- fore issuing the warrant. He prom- ised to do so at once and to send the Dapers to the sheriff at New York po- lice headquarters as soon as the gov- ernor had given his formal consent. The sheriff and his attorney accepted- this decision without argument. DID NOT DESIRE TO PROSECUTE. Battling Nelson Withdraws Charge Against Murphy. San Francisco, Dec. 29.—Battling Nelson and his manager, Theouore Murphy, who was arrested at Stockton a few days ago, on a charge of em- bezzling the bulk of the pugilist’s two latest contests, arm in arm, appeared before Police Judge Cabanniss. Eddie Cantry, also under arrest on a similar charge, was with them. Nelson took the stand and declared the arrests were made while he was laboring un- der a misapprehension of facts, and sald he did not desire to prosecute anybody. The money in the property clerk’s hands was then produced, Nel- son being given $6,901 and Murphy $2,100, this division being according to the manager’s accounts. The cases ‘were then dismissed.
