IN THE STREETS
the
In tho confusion, which loft no time
for discrimination, tho latter shared
tho fato of tho men. Tho troops, with
tho exception of a single regiment,
which is reported to havo thrown
down its arms, remained loyal and
obeyed orders. But tho blood which
crimsoned tho snow has flred tho
brains and passions of tho strikers
and turned women as well as men
into wild beasts, and tho cry of tho
Infuriated populaco Is for vengeance.
Tho sympathy of tho middle classes
is with the workmen.
If Father Gopon, tho master mind
of the movement, aimed at open revo
lution, ho managed tho affair llko a
genius to break tho faith of tho peo
plo in "Tho Littlo Father," who, they
woro convinced and whom Father
Gopon hnd taught them to believe,
would right their wrongs. Gorky, tho
Russlnn novelist, expresses tho opin
ion that today's work will break this
faith of tho peoplo in tho emperor.
He said this evening to tho Associated
Press:
"Today Inaugurated revolution in
Russia. Tho emperor's prestlgo vvill
bo irrevocably shattered forover by
tho shedding of Innocent blood. Ho
has allonated himself forever from
his people. Gopon taught the work
men to bellevo that an appeal direct
to 'The Little Father' would bo heed
ed. They have been deceived. Gopon
Is now convinced that peaceful means
havo failed and that tho only remedy
is force."
Midnight Bulletin Firing continues
on tho Vasslllostrov. It is rumored
that tho workmen thcro havo seized
a dynamite factory and also that
30,000 or 40,000 armed strikers from

a message to tho senate recommend
ing favorablo action upon a sugges
tion made by Assistant Secretary
LoomfT for co-operation by the De
partments of State and Commerce
nnd Labor in collecting Information

culled commercial attaches, who shall

a study of Industrial conditions with
a view of suggesting modifications
and changes In tbo existing plans of
our foreign commerce.
Mr. Loomis, In explaining the plan,
said that this plan can be put intc
oxocutlon at a very small cost. In
fact ho places tho cost of the test at
150,000 per annum. Six commercial
attaches or spoclal agents will bo suf
ficient to inaugurate the movement..
They would be allowed salaries at
?3,000 per annum and traveling ex
penses nnd would be assigned, one to
cover Austria, the Balkan states, Ger
many, Switzerland, Russia and other
countries of northern Europe; one for
France, Italy, Portugal, Spain and
other countries bordering on the Medi
terranean; n third for Great Britain
and dependencies; tho fourth for
Mexico, Central America, the West
Indies and South America; the fifth
for Asia, more particularly Asiatic
Russia, China and Japan, and tho
sixth to bo held in reserve for special
service in any part of tho world. It
Is not proposed that theso attaches
should have a fixed residenco at any
particular capital, but that they may
be' transferred from point to point.
Homesteads In South Dakota.
WASHINGTON The house com
mittco on public lands heard Sena
tors Kittedgo and Gamble and Repre
sentatives Martin and Burke (S. D.)
in favor of a bill increasing from 160
acres to 640 acres the amount of land
that may be taken up under the
homestead act in that state. The argu
ment was mado that without this in
crease the settlement of the state
would be materially retarded. Tho
committee took no action.
Two Mining Men Murdered.
RAPID CITY, S. D. Nows has just
arrived by courier of tho murder of
the Cain brothers, two bachelors who
lived at tho Tamarack mine, flftoon
miles west of this city. Tho murder
Is the greatest mystery. It is known
that tho brothers had trouble with
some neighbors and they aro suspect
ed of the crime. Tho courier states
that tho bodies havo tbo appearance
of having been clubbed to .death. One
theory is that thoy were murdered for
a wagon load of merchandise recently
purchased.
JAPS ENTER CITY.
Victorious
Army In Possession
of
, Port Arthur.
Headquarters Third Japaneso Armyl
at Port Arthur Tho victorious army
Sunday formally entered Port Arthur.
General Nogl, with his staff, entered
first through tho old town and took
his stand in tho public squaro of tho
now town. Tho army was represented
by ono regiment from each brigade. "
Tho procession, which was five miles
long, was three hours passing tho
saluting baBO, after which tho troops
passed out of the city through tho
now town. The correspondents then
visited tho captured city for tho first
time. Tho old town buildings were
badly smashed by shells, but In tho
new town tho damage was slight. All
tho shipping In tho harbor was badly
damaged by sholl fire, tho warships'
being practically useless, owing to tho
Injuries they had sustained by shells.
Proposals for tho surrender of Port
Arthur wcro first mado December 29
at a council -of war. General Stoessel
was in favor of surrender, but some
of his general officers wero bitterly op
posed to It Tho regimental officers
and the troops wero not consulted.
Tho first now" they had of the sur
render wns January 1, after General
Stoessel had communicated with tho
Japanese.
Tho scenes following tho surrender
woro disgraceful. Drunken soldiers
filled tho, streets and refused to obey
their ofilcers. Many of them destroyed
tho guns upon tho positions they had
defended nnd came Into tho city with
out permission. Tho infantry loudly
protested that tho fortress had been
given away. They threw their rifles
and ammunition into the harbor and
proceeded to break Into warehouses
and loot and drink vodka until in a
helpless condition. It was evident that
tho surrender was not necessary, as
thero wero 31,000 effective men In the
fortress. The suply of ammunition was
short, but It was not exhausted. Food
was scarce, but private stores wero
not requisitioned by the military.
There is no difficulty in getting good
meals in tho .city even without stores
in private warehouses.
It was the opinion of tho non-combatants
at Port Arthur that tho Bur-
render was unnecessary, as tho troops
were able and willing to fight to tho
bitter end. General Stoessel was much
blamed for what was characterized as
a disgraceful conclusion of a splendid
defense which ended with tho death
of Major General Kondratenko, who
was loved by tho soldiers and was tho
lifo of the defense.
Memorial services were held In
honor of the spirits of the Japaneso
dead, upon tho plain north of tho vil
lage of Shulshi, a snort distance from
Port Arthur. Regiments- representing
tho entiro Japanese army wcro pres
ent A shrine was erected on the crest
of a small hill and the troops formed
a clrclo around It General Nogl and
his staff were present. Lunch wau
served afterwards In the open to all
tho officers present. It was a splendid
spectacle.

HOMESTEAD BILL HEARING.
Fate of Martin Measure Depends on
Working of Klnkald Bill.
WASHINGTON Tho successful
working out of tho so-called Klnkald
bill giving homesteaders 640 acres of
land in the west section of Nebraska
will be a factor with tho house com
mittco on public lands In determin
ing whether the Martin bill, now be

come a law. The commlttco has
been having hearings on this mea
sure, as well as similar ones Intro
duced for Montana and Colorado.

years, whllo tho Black Hills cession
harl been subject of entry for twenty
four years. Theso lands In all

tled and occupeid. Ho showed that
640 acres was not disportionate, as In
early days settlers had tho right to
enter upon 480 acres under the home

GENERAL STOESSEL TALKS.
Correspondent Has an Interview With
Him.
LONDON The correspondent at
Nagasaki of tho Express has hod an
Interesting Interview with General
Stoessel, In the course of which the
general says:
"Tho capitulation occurring an Now
Year's day was merely an incident.'
Tho loss of 203-Meter hill and the;
subsequent capture of forts, combined
with the deadly marksmanship -with
tho terrible eleven-Inch shells, the de
pressing effect of the death of Gener
al Kondratenko nnd tho fearfol in
crease of scurvy, really fixed tho ttmo
of capitulation. It Is quite untrue Giat
I dissented from the unanimous deci
sion of the final council of war. Our
final urgent request for relief was
never answered.
"As regards parole, l alstincfly dls
courageu any concerted action. Every
officer decided for himself. Generally
commanding officers stuck with their
men and chose imprisonment Most of
tho naval officers also choso captivity,
many probably being Influenced by
the fear of impending court martial."
The correspondent adds that con
versation with other Russian officers
reveals great bitterness against Ad
miral Alexleff for his failuro to prop
erly fortify Port Arthur and "his
cowardly flight" by tho last trala from
tho fortress."
They say tho torpedo boat destroy
ers that escaped before tho SBrronder

colors to Chee Foo. Tho junior ofilcers
denounce tho incapacity and felly of
tho government in entering upon the
war and declare that all the mca who
return to Russia from Port Arthm are
revolutionists in Bpirit These pin
ions wero openly expressed in the
presence of General Stoessel, vhm re

the right to think ns they please ey
braving untold deaths for our coun
try." CHICAGO GETTING SCARED.
