HEADQUARTERS OF THE THIRD
JAPANESE ARMY IN FRONT OF PORT
ARTHUR, Jan.. 5.-(Vla Tien Tsln.) The
meeting of General Nogl and General
StoesscI today was as undramatlc as the
conclusion Of the siege. It had previously
been arranged to take place at noon In
the single undamaged house or ih villa..
of Shuishi. This home was a miserable
hovel, called Plum Tree cottage. Through
a misunderstanding, General Stoessel rode
out of -Port Arthur at 10 o'clock, accom
panied by Colonel Relsa and two sUiff
officers, to the Japanese lines and missed
the Japanese officer delegated to escort
him to the meeting place. The general rodo
there without an escort, and was received
by a Junior officer who happened to be on
the spot. The latter telegraphed to Nogl,
who hurried his departure from headquar
tors and arrived at 11 o'clock, accompanied
by Major General IJlchl, his chief of staff,
and Colonels Yasuhara, Matsudalra and
Watanabe, staff officer, and M. Kiwi.
garln, secretary of the Foreign office at
Tokio.
General Stoessel Is a large man of heavy
appearance and looks like a good fighter.
When Nogl, looking careworn, entered
the compound of the cottage the two gen
erals cordially shook hands and Nogl,
through an Interpreter, expressed his pleas
ure at meeting a general who had fought
so bravely and gallantly for his emperor
and country. General Stoessel thanked
General Nogl for the pleasure of meeting
the hero of the victorious army,
Iluaslan Officers Wear gworde.
General Nogl explained that he had re
ceived a message from his emperor asking
that the greatest consideration be shown
to General Stoessel and his officers In
appreciation of their splendid loyalty to
their emperor and country. Because of
that wish, he added, the Russian officers
would be allowed to wear their swords.
General Stcessel expressed his gratitude
to the emporer for thus saving the honor
of his (Stoessel's) family, and said his de
scendants would appreciate the thoughful
kindness of the emperor of Japan. The
general also expressed the gratitude of his
officers and thanked Nogl for sending the
message from Stoe.-sel to Emperor Nicholas
and t. animating his majesty's reply, which

"I thank you and the brave men of the
garrison for the gallant defense."
Both generals then mutually praised each
other and the officers for their bravery.
The conversation afterward turned on
the explosion of the mine at Sungshu
mountain fort, Oeneral Btoessel saying the
entire garrison of the fort was killed or
made prisoners.

the explosion of Shungshu mine. The gal
lant deeds ef the Japanese infantry, Gen
eral Btoessel added, spoke for themselves.
It was Impossible to exaggerate their good
qualities. The skillful work of the engt
neers had also won his admiration.
Nogl Loses Two Sons.
Continuing, General Stoessel said he
had heard that General Nogl had lost both
his sons and praised his loyalty In thus
sacrificing his sons, who had died fight
ing for their emperor and country.
General Nogl smilingly replied: "One of
my sons gave his life at Nanshan and the
other at 203-Meter hill. Both of these po
sitions were of the greatest Importance to
the Japanese army. I am glad that the
sacrifice of my sons' lives had been In
the capture of such positions, as I feel
the sacrifices were not made In vain.
Their lives were nothing compared to the
objects sought."
General Stoessel then asked permission
to present his charger to General Nogl as
a token of his appreciation and admira
tion. General Nogl expressed his thanks for
the Russian general's kindness, but said
he could not accept the horse, but, he con.
tlnued, he would accept for the army, since
he considered that the Russian horses were
the property of Japan and felt he could
not make General Stoessel's charger his
private property. General Nogl ulso prom
ised that when the horse was handed over
to him to see that It was treated with the
greatest kindness out of respect for the
brave Russian general.
Thereupon General Stoessel assured Gen
eral Nogl that he admired his rigorous
principles and appreciated his point or
view.
Btoessel Stays at Port Arthur.
The Japanese commander requested Gen
eral Stoessel to continue to occupy his resi
dence at Port Arthur until arrangements
were completed for the return of hlmaelf
and family to Russia.
Referring to the burial of the dead, Gen
eral Nogl said the Japanese, since the be
ginning of the military operations, had al
ways burled the Russian dead. Those
found later on would be Interred at a spe
cial spot and a suitable memorial would be
erected as a tribute to tne bravery of the
Japanese's former foes.
After luncheon, at which both generals
sat together, a group of photographs was
taken at the cottage and General Stoessel 1
remounted his charger to show the horse's !
good .points, said good bye to General Nogl
and rode back to Port Arthur.
The quiet and even solemn meeting of
the generals ended about 1 o'clock.
The regular Russian soldiers in Port Ar
thur marched out today The only troops
now tn the city are the volunteers.
Two fires were started In Port Arthur to
day for which General Stoessel apologised.
He said the volunteers were unable to con

or the present war, as Russians recognize
the necessity for recreating their navy
without reference to the contest with Ja
pan. Therefore, Dolgoroukoff, Porectklne,
Brlnck and other naval experts have ar
rived here- after visiting the shipyards of
Germany, Holland, Austria, Italy and
France, for the purpose of learning their
capacity for the execution of an extensive
program for naval construction. Admiral
Doubassoff, who Is chief constructor of
the Russian navy, will preside at the meet
ing of experts and go over the reports.
Their visits Included the shipyards at
Toulon and Lasayno Sur Mcr, where they
viewed the progress made on four new
Russian torpedo boat destroyers and a
large model of the battleship Czarevitch,
which is considered a favorable type for
future construction. It is understood that
the Russian program contemplates the ex
penditure of $200,000,000 during the next
three years of naval rehabilitation. The
meeting of the experts leads to a coinci
dent gathering of representatives of ' the
loading shipyards, Including the American
yards.

tention, cited a local cuse In which the
supreme court had taken action and al
luded to a man whose name he mentioned
as a friend of Senator Patterson.
"If you say he Is a friend of mine you
say what is not true," said the senator.
"He was a friend of yours."
"He never was a friend of mine."
The senator rose and approached Mr.
Wuldron, and the two men stood with their
noses about six inches apart.
"Wasn't he a friend of yours?"
"No, he never was. I have always fought
him."
"Mr. Bsillff, get between those men,"
said the chief Justice.
The bailiff stepped between them and
pushed Senator Patterson gently back Into
his seat.
"If you two men cannot act as attorneys
and gentlemen should," said Chief Justice
Gubbert, ,"we will not hear either of you."
Quiet was restored by the chief Justice's
words and the argument proceeded.
The supreme court this afternoon granted
the petition and directed the commissioners
to deliver the ballot boxes to the committee
with the understanding that a representa
tive of the commission be present when
they are opened.
Order Dallota Turned Over.
When the court convened at t o'clock,
Chief Justice Oahbert announced that the
olectlon commissioners were properly offi
cers of the court and as such It was their
duty to turn over to the legislative commit
tee the ballot boxes used at the last elec
tion snd he would therefore Issue an order
to that effect.
Justice Gabbert declined to make a ruling
concerning the legality of yesterday's pro
ceedings In the house which culminated In
the appointment of the committee of fif
teen, saying that It was not the Intention
of the supreme court to pass on the legal
ity or Illegality of any act of the legisla
ture. This was a disappointment to the body
of republicans which had honed for a de
cision upholding the legality of the pro
ceedings of yvsterduy In the house.
Although the court had given Senator
Patterson until t o'clock to prepare his
answer to the petition, It announced the
decision without affording him time. He
expressed hlmsrlf as surprised St the ac
tion of the court, and asked for leavs tl
file a demurrer. It was refused snd the
court directed the clerk to enter the order.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) David E. Thompson, minister to
Biazll, will on September 1 become ambas
sador to Mexico. Edwin H. Conger, minis
ter to China, will on March 4 become am
bassador to Mexico and hold that office
until relieved by Mr. Thompson.
This statement is authorized by Senator
Millard, after a long talk with the presi
dent today. The president expressed sur
prise that Senator Millard had not known
of the determination of the executive re
garding these changes. The senator stated
to the president that when he had discussed
this matter last it was with the understand
ing that Mr. Thompson would be trans
ferred and promoted to the ambassadorship
of Mexico when the president was inaugu
rated. The president admitted that the un
derstanding of the senator was correct, but
that by reason of Senator Allison's ploa
for Minister Conger, backed by the Iowa
delegation, and In view of the fact that
Mr. Conger had distinguished himself In
China, he felt that It was but right to
honor auch a man with, an ambassadorship
and he had pledged himself to present Con
ger's name to the senate for the ambassa
dorship of Mexico to serve until September
I. Minister Conger left China for the
United States on January S and Is expected
to arrive here about February 16.
Omaha's Rational Depositories.
If there are any more national banks in
Omaha that want to become national de-
posltorles, they had better file their ap
plications immediately. Benator Millard
presented the application of the Commer
clal Natlonul bank today to Secretary
Shaw, as a national depository bank, but
the secretary could not see It that way.
"Why, senator, you have six national de
pository banks in your . town now," said
Secretary Shaw. "I did not know we had.
so many," replied Senator Millard, "but If
we have six we ought to have seven, for
that's all the national banks we have in
th town."
"Well," replied Becretary Shaw, "I think
for a town of 12S.OuO people you have enough
government depositories," and there the
matter ended.
Raise Elevator Men's Wages.
The elevator men In the public building
