It can hardly be expected that much actual news will develop in Cen- tral Manchuria for some time to come and attention now turning toward Port Arthur, where, Stoes- s ldtest report indicates, the Japan- are gathering strength for another spring at the fortress. It is taken for granted here that there will soon be news of importance from Port Arthur, since the Japanese throughout the war have seemed to alternate their attentions between the beleaguered fortress and the Russian army toward the north. It thus ap- pears that it is Port Arthur’s turn to keep up the excitement, while Field Marshai Oyama is preparing for the fall campaign. et e JAPAN'S PEACE TERMS. there of fight Mikado Will Entertain Proposals Afier Port Arthur's Capture. LONDON, Sept. 16.—The Daily Tele. graph’s Tientsin correspondent tele. graphs that he hears from a trust- thy source that the Japnese For- cign Minister has issued a circular an- nouncing that it i8 Japan’'s intention to turn Port Arthur, when it is cap- tured, and the whole of the Liaotung Peninsula, over to the Chinese, who, the correspondent says, it is under- stood, will declare Port Arthur an open port “E the same authority,” the Daily Telegraph’s representative says, “I am told that Japan will be prepared to entertain peace proposals after she has teken Mukden and Saghalien on the fol g basis: “First—That an international syndi- cate take over the Manchurian Rail- way and run it as a strictly commer- cial enterprise; second, that Russia pay 100,000,000 pounds indemnity, and third, that Russia is to hand over all of her ships in Chinese waters to Jap- an. Japan would be prepared to lease Saghalien to an American company for five million pounds.” The correspondent at Tokio of the Standard says that the Japanese Cab- inet is mow conmsidering a scheme of finance to be submitted at the jon of the Diet, which involves increased taxation. i STILL HOPES FOR VICTORY. Russian Newspaper Advises Populace to Be Patient. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 16.—In the course of a long review of the battle of Liaoyang the Novosti says: “The world is just beginning to re- alize how little tangible result ac crued to the Japanese from the ‘bril- ’ so exultantly announc- cclaimed at Tokio.

The admonishes the Russian people with- patience for the inevit- able Russian triumph. S s - Ty DEMAND A SURRENDER. Japancse Issue a Proclamation to the ‘Port Arthur Troops. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 15.—A dispatch from Lieutenant General Stoessel, commander of the Russian military forces at Port Arthur, says the Japanese are actively constructing | fortifications on the Samhon Moun- tain and at other points and that they continue to bombard the forts and rbor. On September 2 they threw 0 shells into the town. The Japanese, the dispatch adds, have issued a proclamation to the Russian troops, demanding their sur- render. eneral Stoessel sees in this prociamasion an indication of the en- emy’'s consciousness of failure. “On September 3, says Stoesse’ “the enemy received reinforcement on the west front of the fortress.

SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 15.—At the | Auditorium Theater in this city to- fnight Speaker Cannon of the national [ House of Representatives began a cam- | paign which he will wage from this time until election day in the close Congressional districts of the country. | The large theater was filled to its ut- most capacity and the speaker was re- ceived with enthusiastic cheers. Cannon discussed at length the va- rious issues of the campaign, but gave his especial attention to the tariff and trusts, contending, with reference to the former, that the Republican policy of protection is the only safeguard of American interests and, concerning the latter, that the action of the President is an unmistakable index of the atti- tude of the Republican party. Cannon declared that the Republican party asked only to be judged by its fruits and thus tested he was willing to let the people pass upon the official acts of the President. The speaker re- ferred to Bryan In terms of praise, saying that his ‘‘feet are in the soil.” “On the currency question hg is wrong, but you don’t have to get out a search warrant to determine where he stands. My God, I wish I could say the same of David B. Hill and Alton B. Parker.” CAN) L S B [ WILL STAND BY PARTY. Governor La Follette’s Followers Write to Chairman Cortelyou. MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 15— | Pledging themselves to abide by the decision of the Republican National Convention until it is'reversed by the Supreme Court, 147 of Governor La Follette’'s most prominent followers have signed a letter which they have sent to Chairman George B. Cortetyou of the Republican National Commit- tee, declaring . that all questions af- fecting the unity and regularity of the party must necessarily be submitted to the highest political tribunal for | settlement, and that such settlement will be accepted by all good Repub- licans unless it be found at variance with the decision of the courts. i —_————————— DISTURBED BY QUESTION OF JEWISH PASSPORTS | St. Petersburg Journal Declares the | Issue Is Raised as an ‘“‘Ante- | Election Maneuver.” PETERSBURG, Sepi. 16.—The Russian press i§ awakening to the fact that the question of American Jewish passports has been raised. The Novoe Vremya this morning follows the lead of the Journal de St. Peters- the semi-official organ of the Foreign Office, in its denial of the right of a foreign country to “make overtures for classification of our pop- ulation under the fiction of right ac- by naturalization,” and com- 1ts with amazement upon the ar- icie in a recent number of the Paris Siecle, which represented President Roosevelt as a new Moses, seeking to impose upon- Russia liberal treatment of Russian Jews naturalized in the United States. The Novoe Vremya proceeds to be- rate the United States for presuming to interfere In Russia’s internal af- fairs, but finally dismisses the whole matter as “an American election man- euver.” < 1 Liaoyang. Russian Army Getting " Over Its Panicky Condition. MUKDEN, Sept. 16.—The panicky conditions prevailing immediately after the battle of Liaoyang have entirely disappeared in the Russian army now concentrating here. Business has been resumed and the city is quiet. The Russo-Chinese Bank has reopened. The failure of the Japanese to fol- low up the advantdge galned at Liao- yang has caused surprise here. An in- dependent authority, who accompanied the rear guard from the positions south of Liaoyang to Mukden, says that this failure is accounted for by the fact that the Japanese lost 40,000 killed and wounded in one day’s fighting and that they were too tired to continue the advance. The Japanese are reported to be in- trenched around Liaoyang and to have {repaired the bridge over the Taitse IRiver. Twelve thousand soldiers wounded at Liaoyang have been treated at the Red Cross Hospital here. Py e ELKS LOOKING Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 15.—A thief sneaked into the Elks’ clubroom this afternoon, broke open Secreary Armstrong’s desk and stole $81 or more of the lodge's funds, which had been collected during the day and had not yet been turned over to the treasurer. The theft was discovered at 1:30 p. ., but not the slightest clew was found. On two previous occasions, some two or three weeks ago, vandals entered the rooms during the noon hour, while the Japanese attendant was away, and cut and’slashed the fine leather chairs and other leathered upholstered furniture. The Elks are indignant and the po- lice are nonplused, but incline to the opinion that the damage to the furhi- ture and theft are the work of a maniac. Sensational developments are looked forward to in the near future, as money will not be spared to detect and punish the guilty person. —_——————————— DISCUSS THE NEEDS OF VARIOUS ASYLUMS State Lunacy Commission Holds Its Regular Quarterly Meeting at Agmew, SAN JOSE, Sept. 15.—The State Lunacy Commission held its regular quarterly session at Agnew Insane Asylum to-day.

Diet tables and food service were also con- sidered. Reports were made by the medical superintendents of the five different asylums and Agnew asylum was inspected. 7 Santa Clara Votes Bongs.

Brutal- | Donvig’s Life-Saving Globe | Insures Safety of Those Aboard Wrecked Vessels |DEVICE STANDS “TESTS {Eaeh One Is Capable of Carrying 16 Passengers and a Month's Supplies Spectal Dispatch #@The Can. NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—“Suppose a ship on which you are a passenger is sunk by another vessel. All you would have to do would be to jump into the life-saving globe, and even if you were adrift a month you would be able to say truthfully that your voyage had merely been pleasantly prolonged.” Captain J. M. Donvig, inventor of the globe life-saver, who thus expressed his confidence in it, will explain his device Ito t Navy Department in Washing- | ton fo-morrow and will ask that an | exhaustive test be made of its merits. It has been tried on Norwegian vessels and on a few ships flying the French flag. | One globe brought to America by | Captain Donvig arrived on the Touraine | last Saturday and was unloaded to-day. Captain Donvig's globe is large | enough to hold sixteen persons, and Is | provisioned and watered to supply this | number of passengers for one month. It is so designed that there appears to those who have seen it no reason why it should not be able to keep afloat for an indefinite time. Captain Donvig asserts that tests have proved the absolute safety of those who have trusted themselves to the globe. Any number up to sixteen persons have only to climb into the | globe, close the manholes and, without | fear, wait for their vessel to sink. No | matter how great the suction, he says, the globe will bob up serenely and right side up, and thereafter it will be merely a question of waiting for an- other vessel to come along and pick them up. —_————————— WORK BEGINS ON THE SANTA CRUZ RACETRACK Board of Trade Will Endeavor to Se- cure the State Fair for Sea- side City.
