CAPTURED RUSSIAN OFFICERS PREFER PRISON LIFE WITH THEIR MEN TO BEING PAROLED FIFTY PER CENT DECLINE THEIR FREEDOM KRBT T Transfer of Port Arthur Army Completed. TOKIO, January 8.—General Nogi's report,- received at 11 o'clock last night, announces that the transfer of | Port Arthur prisoners was compieted on Saturday afternoon, The total number was 24,369—878 officers and 23,491 men. Fifty per cent of the officers will share imprisonment with their men. The Japanese intend to establish a/ naval station at Port Arthur. Vice- Admiral Y, Shibayama will be placed in charge. The military administra- tign at Port Arthur will retain only & small garrison as soon as the pris- oners are withdrawn and order is restored. The fleet is busily engaged in clear- ing mines, but owing to their great number navigation will be unsafe for a long time. Only Government craft will be allowed to enter the harbor. It is probable that Dalny will soon be opened to neutrals. Japanese com- panies are prenaring to establish weekly services to that port. It is proposed to float a fourth domestic war loan soon, under the same conditions as the third was negotiated. Lieutenants General Fock, Smyrnoft and Gorbatowsky and Rear Admiral Wilmann will be brought to Japan as i ers of war. Lieutenant General ssel will leave Dalny on January 12th on a Japanese transport for Nag- He will be accompanied by the other paroled officers. The Rus- slans probably will remain in Japan | a few ys and then proceed on a French steamship to Europe, going by way of the Suez canal. Reports previously received were to the effect that both Lieutenant General Fock and Lieutenant Gener- al Smyrnoff had bzen killed at Port | Arthur. On January 2 a St. Peters- burg dispatch denied that Fock had been killed, ' ut admitted that he had been wounded. A dispatch received from Mukden on January 7 that while the death of Fock had not been published, it had for six weeks beer accepted there as a fact. The report of General Smyrnoff's death had never been confirmed -— OF STOESSEL.

The conference whicn Emperor | Nicholas has been holding with! members of the Council of the Empire and other advisers on the, internal and external situation has' been concluded, but nothing has oc-! i curred which would indicate that the Government is prepared to depart from | its present programme of continuing the war to the bitter end. Neverthe- ' | less, talk of peace was heard on Sun- | | day in many quarters, the foundation ! | for it being ascribed to Forelgn Min- | ister Lamsdorff’s alleged position in! | favor of such a course, on the ground, ! that, aside from the humiliation to! military prestige involved, it would; | only mean the relinquishment of Man- churia, to which Russia already is for- mally pledged. There is no confirmation of this statement of Count Lamsdorff's posi- tion, beyond the general knowledge | that he always has belonged to the’ peace pafty. It is quite probable that! the peace talk has been produced by the arrival of foreign papers, as it re- celves no encouragement in responsi- i ble quarters here. The belief which existed in well-in- formed diplomatic circles that Japan would follow the fall of Port Arthur | with moderate peace propositions has | not been realized. Up to the present | | time nothing has reached the Govern- | gent, elther through the United States or other channels. Diplomats here can- | | not figure out the general lines of a | | treaty at this juncture which both bel- ligerents would accept, but realize that if Japan makes any sort of offer, un- less it is rejected outright as not en- tertainable, negotiations would be opened, and, negotiations once entered upon, friends of both parties could use | | their good offices and bring about good | terms. This is the only hope for a ter- | mination of the war which diplomats | can see. Solemn services in honor' of those who fell in the defense of Port Arthur were held on Sunday in the Kazan ca- thedral and the Troitka monastery. The service passed off without demon- stration of any sort. Neither the Em- peror nor any member of the imperial family was present. A requiem was held simultaneously in the chapel Tsarskoe-Selo. Ak NI COSTLY TO CHINA. Land of Confucius Must Pay Part of Japan's War Bills. TACOMA, Jan. 8.—Sam B.

I say that China will be obliged to bear a large share of the expense of the war because no intellixent man believes that Russia can be compelled to pay war indemnity.

HUANCHAN, via Mukden, Jan. 8.— The expected advance of the Japanese, which the Chinese prophesied would take place on the Russian Christmas, has not occurred. Even the usual cannonading has not taken place. The troops celebrated Christmas yesterday quietly. There were Christmas trees in many companies and little celebra- tions in various officers’ quarters. Many men exchanged presents, mostly their own handiwork, quaint and cu- rious gifts, there being little obtain- 'able in the way of conventional pres- ents. v NO LINE ;)N ;‘ SUALTIES. War Department Unable to Figure Up Losses in the Far East. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—In despair the War Department has giving up try- ing to get an accurate line on the total of casualties in the Russo-Japanese war. At the outbreak of hostilities in the Far East a War Department clerk of German birth and unsophisticated mind started to make a record from the He forgot to take into consideration the fact that the Russians call a battle by one name and the Japanese by another and that official reports straggle in days after the first news and are frequently con- fused with later events. At the end of 1904 the clerk began to foot up his figures and found that they showed the Russians had lost 4,397,000 men and the Japanese 5,778,000 men. His visions of making money out of the first “‘authentic record of losses” took wings right there and he gave up the job. The bureau of military information of the War Department adopted a similar course at the beginning of the war, but when the totals showed more men lost than there are soldiers, non-combatants and neutrals in all Manchuria they, too, turned their attention to more profit- able lines. + STANDARD I\ NEW FIELDS Mamf‘ger of Big Corporation Seeking to Get Control of Gas Companies in’ South S Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 8.—Henry H. Rogers, manager of the Standard Oil Company, is negotiating for the pur- chase of the various Lowe gas com- panies of Southern California. Leopold ‘Wallach, who effected the sale of the San Francisco Coke and Gas Company (a Lowe concern), has been in Los An- geles conferring with the Lowe people. He has made a proffer to some of the heaviest stockholders and this fs now under consideration. There are three Lowe companies operating in Southern California, the Independent Gas Company, capitalized at $3,000,000, and proposing to sell gas at wholesdle; the Los Angeles Sub- urban Gas Company, capitalized at $3,000,000, with about ten miles of mains, now doing business with retail customers, and the California Coke and Gas Company, capitalized at $1,- 000,000, supplying customers in Pasa- dena, South Pasadena and Long Beach. It the Standard Oil succeeds in its ambition here, or rather, if the Lowe people succeed in selling to the Stand- ard Oil, the Los Angeles Gas and Elec- tric Company will have a rival worthy of its steel. The Los Angeles Company has hithertc bought or beaten out its rivals with ease, and the Lowe com- panies, though now operating, have not proven formidable competitors. —_— TO RACE AGAINST DEATH ACROSS THE ATLANTIO Medill Pattersons of Chicago Will Huwrry to Bedside of the Countess Gyzickl. f ‘' Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento, Eureka ’ 2 1 NEW YORK, Jan. 8.—Mrs. Robert |Ftectf [ Medill Patterson, Joseph Medill Pat- ) ‘\ \“ terson, her son, and his wife, formerly \ / T /i ’ ~ 2,"‘((: /’/}) y Miss Alice Higginbotham of Chicago, o 'Im i arrived in this city to-day on a race R Wi ST, \ 2 s merits as a high grade " S musical instrument have compelled general recog- nition.

BUSINESS MEN URGE NEW LAWS Long List of Suggestions to Be Taken Up by the INTEREST IN SHIPPING Various Bodies Desire Some Legislation to Help Build Up the Merchant Marine | WASHINGTON, Jan. 8—The pro- gramme of recommendations and reso- lutions to be considered at the thirty- fifth annual meeting of the National Board of Trade, which will begin here on Tuesday, January 17, has been made public. An unusuaily large number of resolutions of interest to the business interests of the country have been pro- posed by representative commercial bodies for consideration, chief among which are those relatimg to the mer- chant marine, the interstate commerce laws, reciprocity, uniform bills of lad- ing, reduction of the tax on alcohol and improvement of various water- ways. Various boards of trade and trans- portation and chambers of commerce have presented resolutions urging Con- gressional legisiation for the upbuild- ing of the American merchant marine. In various resolutions eniarged powers | are asked for the Interstate Commerce | Commission. The New York Board of Trade, by resolution, expressed itself as opposed to the bill conferring the rate-making power on the commission. The board expresses the opinion that it seems wiser, for the present at least, to rely on the recently applied methods of enforcing the decision of the.com- mission by injunction rather than to enact the Cooper-Quarles bill, the pro- visions of which it holds may be con- strued to be much more far-reaching than even its advocates are willing to defend or consent to. Railroad pooling is favored in several resolutions and so is the institution by the Government of a parcels post, such as several foreign nations now enjoy. The adoption of one-cent postage for Invoices and the improvement of the Missisippi River and of 'coastwise waterways are also urged. The impor- tance of iInternational arbitration treaties is set forth in a number of resolutions and an expression is made for an early ratification of those now pending. % The Scranton (Pa.) Board of Trade requests the adoption of a resolution asking that the President join other powers in a determined effort to com- pel Russia and Japan to submit their differences to The Hague tribunal for arbitration. The Boston Chamber of Commerce wants reciprocity with Canada, and other commercial bodies ask that our foreign trade be extended by treaties of a reciprocal character. Free alcohol for industrial purposes is advocated by the Tincinnati Chamber of Commerce and a reduction of the tax on that commodity by the Philadelphia Trades League. The Sugar Manufacturers’ Assocla- tion of America urges that if reduc- tions be made in the existing tariff on goods or articles imported from the Philippines, ghere should bg excepted from such Yeductions such articles grown, produced or manufictured In the United States as would be serious- ly affected by such reductions. ————— | MARIE CORELLI AGAIN SCORES ANDREW CARNEGIE Philanthropy at Time of Home- stead Strike.

An effort will be made to get through the bill providing for the compensation of American fishermen whose vessels were seized previous to the arbitration of 1893. The pure food bill will remain in the background for the present, not be- cause the friends of ‘that measure have abandoned it, but® because they con- sider that its chances will be improved by not pressing for immediate consid- eration. Discussion of the statehood auestion will begin on Monday with a speech by Senator Morgan. He will be followed by other opposing Senators. The pres- ent plan of the opposition Is to keen the discussion going until some of the appropriation bills are reported and it becomes necessary to take them up: or, if this is postponed too long. to dis- place the bill with the pure food bill. Failing in all these expedients, they probably will seek a compromise. The only real fight fs against the uniting of Arizona and New Mexico. and there is talk of eliminating those Territories entirely from the statehood proposition. It is belleved if this were done the bill for the consolidation of Oklahoma and Indian Territory would pass. It is the intention of the House to begin active consideration of appro- priation bills during the present week. Monday is District of Columbia day and the resolution providing for the ceremonies of the inauguration of .President Roosevelt and deciding where the inauguration ball shall be held will be considered. | A PIONEERS PROTEST. Arizonans Object to the Joint State- hood Bill. | TUCSON, Arfz, Jan. 8.—At a meet- | ing of the Society of Arizona Ploneers this afternoon an earnest protest against the merger of Arizona and New Mexico ‘jointly into a State was adopted. In substance it follows: We declare that the pledge of the Federal Government in the enactment of the organic law creating Arizona into a territorial govern- ment and defining the geographical boundaries, in which it was agreed Arizona should enjoy Territorial government until erected into a State of the Union, was a sacred compact, ‘which the ploneer citizens of Arizona (compris— ing the sons and daughters of every State of the Union) accepted In good faith, and in con- sideration thereof have given years of suffering and toil, enduring great privations and hard- ships at the risk of life in conquering, develop- ing, civilizing and the building up of the pros- perity of the State of Arizona. ‘We plead that the compact may be kept in- violate by the Government, and only echanged | or modified upon the consent of the citizens of ;Arlznnn, whose rights outd be conside E and we earnestly pray that, if determined to pass the joint Statehood bill now before the | Benate, 1t be with the Foraker amendment, leaving the question of merger to the vote of the citizens of the respective Territories.

Gardner and Attorney | Wright Give Their Views TRINITY CHURCH FILLED Big Congregation Listens | to Opindons of Lawyer, Educator and Clergyman | Foschs In a noteworthy discussion of the ! divorce question, Dr. David Starr Joi dan, president of Stanford Universit; the Rev. D. Charles Gardner, chap- lain of Memorial Chapel, Stanford University, and John A. Wright, the attorney, occupied Dr. Clampett's pul- pit at Trinity Church last night. In spite of the inclemency of the weather, the stately church was filled. Dr. Clampett expressed his appre- ciation of the large attendance under such conditions and spoke of the sub- ject which was to be treated by the speakers, declaring that it affected the sanctity and the purity of the homes of the nation.” He said the laxity in the matter of divorce became a serious menace to the life of the American republic and the community, which should welcome anything that would draw serious attention to the existing conditions. The - Rev. Mr. Gardner, speaking “On the Christian Obligation of Mar- riage,” sald that in the United States, and especially in California, the peo- ple were face to face with a serious looseness of public sentiment on the subject of marriage and divorce. The record showed 60,000 divorces in one year, 1650 being in San Francisco, a record which he thought boded ill far the welfare of society. In it he saw | the lack of reverence for the marriage state and a woeful lack of stability in public sentiment. . The purity and sanctity of the mar- riage relation, he held, was so bound up with human happiness-and social order that it needed to be safeguarded by a refined and intelligent social sen- timent and based upon sound moral principles. He had long felt that the mending and making of canons on di- vorce and remarriage to control the members of particular churches was not enough and that the time was ripe for a campaign of education as to the right idea of marriage itself. AN IDLE MAN OR WOMAN. President Jordan treated the “So- cial Side” of the subject and pointed out in his characteristically clear | manner that “It takes leisure to be| { unhappy, and that in every divorce | | case there was at least one idle man | or idle woman.” “Marriage,” said Dr. Jordan, “rep- resents the most important incident in the life of a man or woman, and di- vorce is the confession of failure. There are two classes of divorces— the inevitable and the trivial. It is clear that a general divorce law should exist and that remarriage should be delayed. ‘““There are three classes of poor—the Lord's poor, the devil's poor and pau- pers, So with divorces there are the Lord’s divorces, the devil's divorces and the divorces of those who cannot have partners.” The speaker pointed out the pitiable situation of young women sold by their parents, caught by a glittér of one good trait among bad ones, and mated to disease and moral death. “Men,” said Dr. Jordan, “place their wives in squalid boarding-houses, fine i or shabby, with only make believe du- ties, with nothing to hear but gossip, | nothing to think but personalities, nothing to read but sentimental trash |and no amusement save folly and vul- | garity. It is no wonder then that there is deterioration.” I DANGER IN STAGNATION. He disclaimed being an advocate of ' the social whirl, but that, he said, was better than stagnation. Neither did he advocate a life of money-making, but he considered that money-grabbing gave strength of a kind. “Anything,” he was sure, “is better than a clammy life warmed with red | pepper and whisky.” g John A. Wright spoke on the present | aspect of marriage and divorce from a civil lawyer's point of view, and in a lucid manner explained the law of mar- riage and the contract created by the | parties to the marriage. He showed | where States refused to recognize di- vorces granted in other States. In ferent jurisdictions. In an expression of high regard for President Roosevelt he suggested that there should be an amendment to the United States con- stitution and that all churches unite on one day in a petition for a constitu- tional amendment giving Congress power %o establish a uniform law of marriage and divorce. | ——— STATUE OF GOVERNOR ROGERS DOES NOT SUIT the Work of British Colum- bia Sculptor.
