The joint resolution of Congress relative to the removal of snow and ice from side- walks, which was referred to the attorney for the District for the preparation of a substitute, which will give the Commis- sioners power to levy a tax on non-resident property holders who fail to comply with the regulation, has been returned to the Commissioners. Attorney Thomas says he has seen fit to redraft the bill regarding the removal of sand and gravel, so as to incorporate into it a provision in regard to the removal of snow and ice. The new bill provides that the owner or owners, occupant or occupants or any per- son having charge of any improved or un- improved lot of land ‘bordering on any street, avenue, square or public place with- in the cities of Washington and George- town, 2nd their more densely populated suburbs, where there is a sidewalk graded and paved, “shall within two hours after daylight, after the ceasing of the fall of any snow, cause the same to be removed therefrom, and the provisions of this sec- tion shall apply to the falling of snow and ice from buildings.” It also provides that sidewalks incum- bered with ice shall be made safe by its re- moval or being covered with ashes or sand, and that in the more densely populated suburbs owners or occupants shall protect such lots and the parking in front of the same so as to prevent the nuisance of dirt, sand and gravel or rubbish falling or being washed therefrom upon the side- walks or alleys. The penalty section pro- vides that violations of the act shall be subject to a fine not exceeding $10 and costs. In the case of non-resident owners a copy of the notice to protect their lots so as to prevent accumulations of dirt, sand or gravel upon the sidewalk is to be deposit- ed in the post oftice at Washington, in- closed in a post paid envelope addressed to such owners at their post office address. In the case of minors a notice is to Le served upon their guardians. After ten days have elapsed the Commissioners may cause the removal of the nuisance, and shall charge the cost thereof against the abutting property and assessed in the manner provided by law for assessment and permit work. In the case of snow and ice, however, it is not necessary for the Commissioners to give such notice, pat only notice of the tax to reimburse cost of its removal. ——————_ RETALIATION AT PORT ARTHUR. Correspondents Tell of the Horrors of the Eastern War. James Creelman, the New York Worli’s war correspondent in the field with the Japanese army, has written to that journal an account of the capture of Port Arthur and the events following. Regarding the provocation of the Japanese he says: “When the Japanese troops poured into Port Arthur they saw the heads of their slain comrades hanging by cords, with the noses and ears gone. There was a rude | arch in the main street decorated with bloody Japanese heads. +A great slaughter followed. The infuriated soldiers killed every one they saw.” Stephen Hart, a Reuter’s agency corre- spondent, informed him that he had ceen money paid by Chinese officials as rewards for Japanese heads. Speaking of the Chinese atrocities com- mitted upon the Japanese, Mr. Creelman 5 ae saw the Japanese dead on the road with their heads gone and their bodies mutilated. Several corpses were without hands, two had been butchered like sheep and their hearts and livers torn out. A Japanese horse had been killed and the Chinese had cut steaks from the haunches in the middle of the fight.” Yet even these things do not, in his mind, excuse what followed the capture of Port Arthur. He says: “It may be called the natural result of the fury of troops who have seen the mutilated corpses of their comrades, or it may be called retaliation, but no civilized nation could be capable of the atrocities 1 have witnessed in Port Arthur. Every scene I have described I have looked upon myself, either in the ot ee of the Amer- ican and British military attaches or in the company of Mr. Cowan or Mr, Villiers.” Horrible Mutilation by Brutal Chinese The New York Herald's correspondent, who was present at the capture of Port Arthur, says of the atrocities: “It was given to me to witness this after- noon the most frightful sights a man ever beheld. “In a valley lying below Shuishying, where the marching took place yesterday, the mutilated bodies of Japanese soldiers were found. The Chinese had beha with their usual barbarity, and this after- noon we found lying on the road the re- mains of many unfortunate Japanese sol- diers. The Chinese had beheaded them, cut off their feet and hands, ripped open their bodies and torn out their livers. To any one having a knowledge of surgery it was clear that many had been yet alive when their hands and feet were cut off. What miserable, brutal, sanguinary beasts these Chinese are! The whole army passed by and saw these awfully mutilated trunks, which a few hours before were strong comrades, full of life and hope. They all saw what no pen can ever describe. They saw and knew that they had to expect no mercy from th foes. I am convinced they will fight like devils when they meet the enemy, and for once I doubt whether many of these will be given quarter. And why should they? My own feelings were terribly roused at the horrible sight. Yet 1 am not a Japanese soldier, did not know these men and had no personal interest !n the matte: Steere SOEs Benton Was Held. Edward T. Benton, jr., who conducts a real estate business at 602 F street north- west, was held for the grand jury in $300 bonds yesterday by Judge Miller to answer a charge of grand larceny. It is claimed that Benton stole a certificate for $38 in the Fidelity Building and Loan Association from a colored man named Nimrod Porter. According to the accused, the certificate was assigned to him by Porter. ae “The Veteran” “The Veteran,” a drami the street, in two acts, by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps-Ward, will appear ccmplete, with appropriate fl- lustrations, in Saturday's Star. ati en Personal Bonds. A colored woman named Ella Jackson was arrested last night on a warrant sworn out by Inspector Beaumont of the health department. Ella was arrested because she had not abated a nuisance. She was em- ployed in a house where there was a case of smallpox and she left when the patient was taken sick. Being unable to return to the quarantined house to get her money in order to abate the nuisance, Lieut. Me- Cathran kindly atlowed the woman to re- main at home last night, instead of keej ing her in a cell, and Judge Kimball took her personal bonds this morning. ssa ae “My Lady Primros A fairy story, by Mary EB.

Power, the eastern organ- izer of the International Typographical Union and an officer of the American Fed- eration of Labor, said this morning that the announcement of the arrival in this city today of John Burns, the eminent English labor leader and member of par- tiament, was erroneous. “Mr. Burns spoke in Chicago last night,” said Mr. Power, “and will speak in St.Louts tomorrow night. Indianapolis on the 22d. He will visit Pitts- burg, Cincinnati and several other Ohic cities before coming to Washington. He will be here on the 20th and 80th of this month.” “Have any arrangements been made for his reception?” “Yes. At the last meeting of Columbia Typographical Union a resolution was troduced by myself and passed providing for the creation of a committee to take care of Mr. Burns. The committee consists of President Tracy, Secretary Padgett and myself. We have urranged to give Mr. Burns a reception at Typographical Tem- ple on the 29th of December, at which he will make an address. An invitation has been exyended to all the other labor or- ganizations here to co-operate with the Typographical Union in the affair, and 1 anticipate a representative outpouring of labor men on the occasion.” PEDIC E EE “The Veteran.” “The Veteran,” a drama of the street, in two acts, by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps-Ward, will appear complete, with appropriate il- lustrations, in Saturday's Star.
