3 BLISHED JU PORT ARTHUR HAS FALLEN Great Obinese Stronghold with Its Immense Stores Captured, REPORT COMES FROM CHINESE SOURCES hteen Hours Fighting Preceded the Fall of the Great Fortress—Detalls of the ght, Which Occurred Wed duy, Are Lacking CHEF00, Nov. 23.—Dispatches have been received here stating that the Japanese cap- tured Port Arthur on Wednesday last after eighteen hours’ fighting. The second Chinese-Japanese army, under the command of Field Marshal Count Oyama, minister of war, consisted of about 30,000 men, and when this force arrived off the Regent’s Sword promontory, it was divided into two detachments, one of which, aided by part of the Japanese fleet, operated against Talien-Wan, while the other directed Its movements against Kin-Chow, on the western side of the promontory, some miles north of Port Arthur. Tallen-Wan and Kin-Chow were both captured, after which the army again combined and the march on Port Arthur was commenced. Several engagements of minor importance took place along the route, but accordiog to the reports the Japanese were invariably successful. The roads leading northward from Port Arthur were supposed to hava been mined by the Chinese, and the Japanese commands therefore declined o take the risk of marching along them. C sequently tley were compelled to cut ros through the forests to allow the passage of their artillery, ammunition trains, ete. march was thus necessarily slow. Dispatches received a few days ago stated that the Japanese \ Te close to the city, and had attacked the Chinese out- posts, driving them back to their entrenchments. It was also said that the Japangse attacked the entrenchment three times, but were repulsed each time. It is evident later attacks must have been made and that the outposts were compelled to fall back upon Port Arthur. Several times the town s reported to have been captured, but later dispatches have shown these re- ports were inaccurate and that the Japan:se were conducting their operations against the place with great care. Chee Foo from which place the dispatch announcing the fall of Port Arthur is sent, is a Chinese city on the north cost of Shang Tung promontontory, some ninety miles south of Port Arthur, from which it is separated by the gulf of Pe-Chi-Li. JAPANESE MAKE FOR NANKING, Mikado Has an Army ou China's Southern Capital. YOKOHAMA, Nov. 23.—The minister of finance has announced a further war loan of 60,000,000 yen in 6's, making $0,000,000 yen of the 100,000,000 yen authorized by Parlia- ment for war purposes. The third army has left Ujilaon aboard the transports. The destination of this army is not known, but it is rumored that it is in- tended to operate In the Yang-Tse-Kiang dis- triets of China. The Yang-Tse-Kiang river has a total course of 2,500 to 3,000 miles and drains with its numerous large affluents all the central provinces of China. The tide ascends it to Lake Poyang, 450 miles from the sea, beyond which it is navigable for 250 miles. 1t may be navigated for 200 miles from its mouth by ships of the largest class. Coal is plentiful in many places along: lts banks and about ninety miles from its mouth is situated the sonthern capital of China, Nanking, one of the most important cities of the empire. Nanking is the center of a very extensive trade and by the great eanal which crosses the Yang-Tse-Kiang viver about fifty miles eastward of the city it commmumi= cates directly with Peking. Nanking is also the residence of a grand viceroy who has authority over the Kiang province, it s a great military depot and the chief seat of literature in tho Chinese empire. The Yang- Tge-Klang river opposite Nanking is one- and-a-half miles broad and twenty-five fa oms deep. The part of the city occupied b the Manchoos is separated by a cross wail from the Chinese town and the great extent of this wall renders the defense of the city difficult. Besides it Is overlooked from the hills on the east. A deep canal runs up from the river directly under the walls of Nanking on the west, serving to strengthen the approaches on that side. On the east side there are thre2 gates and the land toward the river is marshy. Conse- quently the gates aro approached on stone causeways, The most remarkable in Nanking was the porcelain tower termed Dby the Chinese the recompensing favor mon- astery, built 1411-32, which was pre-eminent above all other similar buildings in China for its completeness and elegance. The tower was of an octagonal form and 261 feet high. In the interior were apartments richly gilded and otherwise elaborately adorned. It was constructed of a kind of white brick made of fire clay. The entire cost of the edifice was estimated at from $35,000,000 o $10,000,000. ‘This great tower was destroyed by Tae Pings, during whose occupation of Nanking, 1853-64, the city suffered much. Nanking has im- portant manufactures of crepe, satin of the finest quality, paper, artificlal flowers, China or India ink and gives its name to the well known ‘‘mankeen’ cotton cloth, which is also made throughout the whole province. In 1852 the British forces remained before Nanking from August 10 to August 20, on which last day the final treaty between China and England was signed and ratified. In 1853 the Tae Pings took Nanking by assault and made it their capital. 1t was bombarded by the British and stormed and captured by the imperialists in 1864. By treaty it s an open port. the Way to HAVING FUN WITH GRESHAM, English Press Much Elated Over the Japan- eso Refusal of Mediation. LONDON, Nov. 2.—The English new papers attach great importance to the mis- slon of Dietering, the commissioner of im- perial customs at Tien-Tsin, who, as ex clusively cabled to the Assoclated press y terday afternoon, has left China for Japan in order to arrange terms of peace. Tha Globe this afterncon, commenting upon Dietering's departure for Japan, says that it confirms the reported rejection of the media- tion of the United States, which was also announced exclusively by the Assocated press. “In spite of the Washington reports that the negotiations would be conducted by the minister at Tokio,” the Daily News, re- ferring to the same subject, says, “the peac commissioner was not sent a moment too #00n. But he can hardly hope to reach Japan before the Japanese forces close up on Port Avthur for the last decisive struggle.” The rumors which have reached here fro Washington to the effect that Great Britain 18 supporting or co-operating with fhe United States in the attempt being made to mediate between China and Japan are de- clared {n official circles here to by alto gether incorrect. The United States gov- ernment is understood to have acted entirely upon its own initiative and with complete independence of the powers hand the foreign office is not displeased to see the United States fall after Great Britaln's soubbing in a similar attempt. The present attitude of England in regard 10 the war between China and Japan is one of complete inaction.

D., Nov. 23.—Chief of Polic Barnes and several of his men at the hotel until all danger of trouble was passed last evening. A crowd of angry citizens hung about the place until a late hour muttering threats against Anderson, the witness who gave revolting testimony in the Hirschfield case yesterday. Today Judge McConnell issued an order for his protection and gave warning in court that any one doing him violence would be given the full penalty of the law. Anderson is still in hiding. The rumor that Aaron Hirschfield would be put on the stand to testify in his own behalf drew a great crowd to the court room today. Hirschfield was kept the d all day. He testified to having been overworked as cashier at Helena during and since the panic of 1893 and that he could not concentrate his thoughts upon any one subject. He told of the defendant’s visiting him at the bank, having a check cashed, and asking him to obtain a situation for her sister as sten- ographer, and said she next called at his rooms over the bank on Sunday and asked about the situation. She stayed about an hour and at that time he became criminally intimate with her. She frequently him after that time. He paid her from $1,000 to $2,000 during six months time. She charged him with being the father of her unborn child, made threats as to what her brothers would do, and one night two men jumped out of an alley on a side street and told him that they would Kill him unless he married the girl. He agreed to d nd_afterward fulfilled his promise. They made an agreement of settlement at that time, but he lost his pocketbook during that trip and it contained this paper among other things. Feeling is running high here and the de- fendant has many sympathizers, while the plaintiff_has some strong supporters. The case is exciting the city far more than any ever tried here before. Numerous_letters and telegrams from th witness to Miss Hogan were shown by de- fense. Hirschfield admitted the authorship of them, but claimed they were sent to ap- pease the young lady and prevent exposure. Witness said the reason he had registered Miss Hogan at Chicago was that his mind was too weak to resist when she requested. Hirschfleld, during his testimony, was nery- ous and perspired freely. During the entire day Mrs. Hirschfield scarcely moved her eyes from his face and the steady gaze annoyed him. Feeling is running high here and the de- fendant las many sympathizers, while the plaintiff has some strong supporters. The case is exciting the city far more than any ever tried here before. DIFVER MAY BE on REMOVED. New York's Pollce Judge Charged with Bribery and NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—Patrick Divver, police justice of the city of New York, may be compelled to show cause why he should not be deprived of his judiclal functions. A petition with that end in view has been lodgad with Joseph F. Daly, chief judge of the court of common pleas. The petition alleges on information and belief that Divver is habitu- ally careless, negligent and inefficient in the discharge of the duties of his office, that he las been guilty of malfeasance in office, that he has scandaiously and disgracefully offered bribes to secure the falsification of election returns, that he has been in conspiracy and collusion with green goods swindlers and that he has engaged in public brawls, to the degradation of his office and his own per- sonal disfigurement. The petition is signed by five taxpayers of this city, of whom one is Isaac K. Funk, the publisher, and another Charles E. Sprague, president of the Union Dime Savings bank. The petitioners do not represent any organization, but are acting in their individual capacity. The law provides that charges against a police justice may be tried publicly before the judges of the court of common plens. Divver was appointed a police justice by Mayor Hugh J. Grant. It is not on record that he had practiced or read law, being at the time of his appointment the keeper of a saloon on Park row. The pay of a police justice is $8,000 a year.

After the current has passed through the body of the criminal Dr, Gibbons could be appointed one of three to conduct a pos mortem, which is, of course, to ascertain whether or not the man is dead. Instead of using the knife, continued the official, the plan of Dr. Gibbons should then be fol- lowed out.

They were induced to sign papers which they were told constituted a mortgage, but which in reality amounted to an _absolute war- ranty deed. The old colorede people never received but $500 in cash, the balance of the $1,200 being given to them in the shap of stock in the company. Judge Horton ordercd a reconveyance of the property, and ordered the cancellation of the $1,200 note executed by the Humphries on the return of the cash which they had received and the stock of the company.

A letter was received from Pitzel from St. Louls in which he promised to soon clear the standing indebtedness on his furniture and effect its removal. Four letters have been written to Pitzel at St. Louis and none have been re- turned to him, despite the fact that the pre- caution was taken to place the writer's ad- dress with the usual request for return on the outside of cach envelope. This, the police think, shows that if Pitzel himself is not alive ‘and living at St. Louls, some one Is representing him there who knows every de- tail connected with his business transactions. The handwriting of the St. Louls letter cor- responds with that of the ome mailed at Philadelphia by Pitzel. i KILLED BY A WILD HOG. Desperate Fight of n Mother to Save Hew Lictle Child.
