Monday afternoon the door of the South
Omihi public library were thrtwn open to
the public. There was no demonstration of
any sort and no addresses were delivered
by membera of the library board. The
building u lighted from the engine rooms
to the top floor and visitors were shown
through by membera of the board. In the
reception of visitors resident Brure Mc
culloch waa assisted by Miss Jane Abbott,
the librarian. Friends of the library sent
flowers for derorative purposes and the
building presented a very pretty night at
night.
Every room In the building waa open to
Inspection and the general opinion waa that
South Omaha should be proud of such a
structure. As the building Is aa near fire
proof as any building can be the library
board has decided there Is no necessity for
carrying any Insurance. The wiring has
been done under careful Inspection and the
gas fixtures are of the latest design.
M. F. Rohrer. president of the Council
Bluffs Library association, was a visitor, as
waa also Miss Tobltt of the Omaha asso
ciation. Both expressed their approval of
the structure and of the Interior arrange
ments. T. R. Kimball, the architect who
drew the plans for the building and su
perintended the construction, was present
nd received many congratulations on his
work.
In response to requests made through the
newspapers many of those who called at
the. library during the opening hours left
books as donations. The book stacks will
hold 8. OHO volumes and only half are filled,
so there Is a demand for more donations.
Good books are wanted and the desire of
the board Is that South Omaha people will
respond and donate books. From this date
on the library will be open to the publio
during the usual hours. Identification cards
may be obtained any time by applying to
Miss Abbott, the librarian.
Chief Garrett's Report.
Chief Garrett .of the fire department has
prepared a report to be presented to the
Fire and Folice Commission showing the
work performed by his department during
the year 1904. This report shows that 112
alarms were answered. In the fires that
occurred the total amount of property in
volved Is given as 1451,270, and the amount
of Insurance on the buildings where fires
occurred Is noted at 1118,100. The totnl
loss by fires according to this report is
$20,7i(5.
Considering that the fire department Is
short of horses and men the total loss
goes to show that the department Is striv
ing hard to do what It can with the menns
at band. The horse purchased at Corning,
la., arrived yesterday and Is being trained
at No. 1 house. More horses are needed
and at least two additional men In order
to make a three-hose company depart
ment complete.

Rock Island Pays.
After having had the matter under con
sideration for over a year, the Rock Island
road yesterday paid into the city treasury
SSOt due for the maintenance of street arc
lights at the Washington and Madison
street crossings. When these lights were
Installed an ordinance was passed by the
city council declaring that this railroad
would be compelled to pay the cost. No at
tention was paid to the notices sent to the
agents of the company and the cost was
assessed against the property. Yesterday
a check was received from the Rock Island
officials located at Topeka, Kan., In pay
ment of the light claim. This sum pays
for the lights for the years 1903 and 19u3.
Now another bill will be sent for lights
for 1904.

WHITE FLAG GOES UP SUNDAY MORNING
High Praise Given the Heroic I''
feadera of Beleaguered Fortress
from All Sides Russians
Destroy Ships.
BERLIN, Jan. 1 Russian securities,
which are largely dealt In on the Berlin
bourse, stood the shock of the Port Arthur
surrender with scarcely a quiver, govern
ment securities losing one-tenth of 1 per
cent and private companies' shares losing
from M to H point. As soon as the report
reached the bourse powerful financial In
fluences Immediately met It with state
ments that the Russian government would
not deviate In the slightest from Its deter
mination to fight out the war and by re
peating the figures recently put forward
that Russian finances, as shown by the ex
penditure of less than $yi,0trt,nu0 over the
usual budget since the war began. Would
permit Russia continuing the war for ten
years without reaching a breaking point. It
might be supposed that the news from Port
Arthur would ruin the chances of the new
Russian loan, but the bankers consulted by
the Associated Press consider the loan Is
likely to be taken without difficulty.
The military critics treat the surrender
of Port Arthur as the beginning of a new
phase of the war, liberating General NogVs
army for co-operating with the armies be
fore Mukden and removing causes for
anxiety for the Japanese, who are now able
to risk more In attacking General Kouro
patkln. Captain von Puatan believes the Japanese
will now proceed against Vladivostok ana
destroy the last Russian naval base In the
far east.
Colonel Gaedke, war correspondent of the
Tageblatt of Berlin, who has now returned
from Mukden, says Port Arthur's defense,
practically saved General Kouropatkin's
army and that the Japanese have lost In
the attack more men than the whole Rus
sian garrison numbered.
All the newspapers here eulogize the
courage and persistence displayed on both
sides and some of them regard the recall of
the Russian second Pacific squadron as
being a possibility.
SORROW
AT
ST.
PETRRSBinG
Tvf o Newspapers Make Brief An
nouncement of Fall of Fortress.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 3.-6:30 n. m-
The Novoe Vremya and the Russ briefly
and sorrowfully announce the fall of Port
Arthur. Those Journals say that It will be
sad news to Russians, though It had been
expected rind regarded as Inevitable for
'weeks past. Both papers call upon the
country passionately not to let the blood
shed during the last seven and a half
months In defense of the fortress go for
naught, but to continue the war with tho
same steadfastness of purpose as before.
It has been learned that the last tele
gram sent by Emperor Nicholas to Gen
eral Stoessel vested the commander of the
Port Arthur forces with discretionary
powers and urged him to exercise them
rather than allow the defense to go to the
last ditch. This ma;' account for the ap
parently brief time required to conclude
the negotiations between the Japanese and
Russian commanders, no time having been
occupied In communicating with Emperor
Nicholas.
It is equally certain that General Stoessel
did not surrender without previous authori
sation.
In diplomatic circles tonight where there
Is every reason to believe there is the best
Information regarding the plans of the
Japanese, It Is regarded that the fall of
Port Arthur will be promptly followed by
an offer of peace from Japan. It Is under
stood that a strong effort will be made to
have the offer come through President
Roosevelt. It Is even suggested that the
terms might Include an arrangement which
would give Russia an outlet fhrough the
Persian gulf. There is, however, no In
dication as to whether an effort to induce
President Roosevelt to move In the matter
would be likely to succeedv It certainly 1h
regnrded as unlikely that such a suggestion
should come through the United States un
less the president has had the strongest
Intimation that It will be favorably received
by Russia.
It Is known that Emperor Nicholas has
regarded the war with the greatest ab
horrence, but there is nothing to indi
cate that his government Intends to recede
from the plan of fighting to a finish as has
been announced.
It Is rumored that Admiral Rojest-
Vensky's tiquadron will return to the Baltic
to await reinforcements and proceed east
next summer, when it will be decidedly
superior in strength to Admiral Togo's
fleet, but there is nothing authoritative to
support such a report.
The situation, so far as Vice Admiral
RoJeBtvensky Is concerned, Is not different
from that at the time the squadron sailed.
It Is known the vice admiral had alterna
tive instructions when he sailed covering
such a contingency as has now arisen.
So far as known he has no Intention of
altering his plans owing to General S Ves
sel's surrender.
The situation In the Immediate future
may not be euch as to necessitate the
curtailing of the emperor's trip and require
his return to St. Petersburg, but the re
port that his pilot train had been blown
up u untrue. There has been a number
of mishaps to freight and passenger
trains, owing to a blizzard prevailing in
central and south Russia tn the last few
days. One train was derailed near Minsk.
and this doubtless occasioned the rumor
cabled to the United States that revolu
tionists had wrecked the train preceding
the royal train.
7:30 a. m. The Novoe Vremya editorially
declares that it has authoritative news
that British warships ara following Vice

Admiral- Rojestrensky's squadron and re
porting Its disposition and movements to
Toklo fmm each cable port reached. The
paper adds that the North sea Incident has
shown that Rojeatvensky Is a man with
whom It Is dangerous to tamper, and ad
vises the British government to call off
Its "official spies' and thereby prevent the
possibility of the occurrence In the Indian
ocean of an Incident which would be re
grettable to Great Britain, Russia and the
whole of Europe.

SEWS IS HKCK1VED AT I.OSnOI
Baron Hnyashl Talks of Effect of
Surrender on War.
LONDON, Jan. 2. At noon the Japanese
legation received an official communication
from Tokio repeating the Information given
out eight hours prevloubly In the Asso
ciated Press dispatches from Toklo aa to
Lieutenant General Stoesscl'a overtures for
capitulation. This official communication
disposes of the definite announcement of
surrender prematurely published In Jjon
don by one English and one American
agency. No doubt, however. Is entertained
In competent quarters' that terms will be
arranged and that the Japanese will soon
be In effective occupation of Port Arthur,
the magnificent defense of which Is the
subject of eulogy on all sides.
At the Japanese legation It was said that
the negotiations over the terms of surren
der might entail considerable communica
tion with Toklo and possibly prolonging the
negotiations until Tuesday or even Wed
nesday, but there was little disposition to
doubt that an agreement would be reached.
Minister Hayashl expressed relief at the
i fact that the sacrifice oi lire on tne part
of the garrison and the besiegers was
.about to be ended, i The fall of the fort
ress, the minister added, would make the
close of an Important phase of the war
and release a large number of troops which
would be available for the reinforcement
of Field Marshal' Oyama, but Baron
Hayashl was nut in a position to say that
the surrender would have any definite, Im
mediate Influence in the direction of
terminating the war. As to mediation, the
minister reiterates that he knew of no at
tempts In that direction.
"The legation," continued Baron Hayashl.
"has nothing confirmatory of the rejxrts
of a definite surrender, but our Informa
tion goes to show that the surrender of tho
great fortresB was imminent. The terms
of surrender, of course, come within the
province of the generals, but It is very
unlikely that Ruslsan troops still at Fort
Arthur, who are believed to number nearly
20 0, will be allowed to reinforce the troops
in the field."
Minister Hayashl naturally was elated at
the expected surrender and reiterates:
"It will at any rate end the terrible
slaughter there and I sincerely hope It may
in some way facilitate final peace. This
depends upon Russia and not upon us. It
may strengthen the determination of Rus
sia to continue the war at all costs. Its
effect upon Japan, however, cannot be
doubted. Our fleet Is free and the release
of the besieging army gives us increased
forces available for service elsewhere. Our
base becomes more secure than ever."
Baron Hayashl paid a tribute to General
Stoessel, saying:
"The surrender will In no way a (Ted the
glory belonging to him or his men, nor ad
miration for their splendid defense."
Baron Suyematru, son-in-law of Marquis
Ito, and former Japanese minister of the
Interior, who Is now In this city, was
asked what effect the fall of Port Arthur
was likely to have on the future course
of the war and remarked that so long as
Russia failed to give way there could be no
termination of the hostilities.
The text of General Nogl's message as
received at the legation confirms the As
sociated Press earlier Toklo advices as
follows:
General Stoeasel's proposal waa accepted.
The terms and process of surrender are to
be negotiated between the respective dele
gates at noon, January 2.
Considerable depression was noticeable at
the Russian embassy. In the absence of
Ambassador Benkendorff, who has gone on
a holiday trip to St Petersburg, a repre
sentative of the Associated Press saw First
Secretary M. Poklewsky-Kozlell, who said
lie had no news from St. Petersburg on the
subject of Port Arthur, but he felt satis
fied that the surrender of the fortress would,
only serve to unite all Russia with the de
termination to put forth ita whole strength
In the spring, with the view of retrieving
the situation.

PE1B0DY WILL STAND PAT
Colorado Governor to Hold Office Until Hi
SnccMior Qualifies.
CANVASS OF VOTE MAY TAKE MONTHS
Plan Made for 1-aUlatnre to Examine
Returns Precinct by Precinct After
Supreme Coart Is Through
with Tbem.
DENVER, Jan. 2. The cause of Gov
ernor Peabody made a distinct gain this
afternoon when the republican caucus se
lected W. II. Dickson of this city as
speaker of the next house of the Colorado
legislature. Although Mr. Dickson has
been a resident nf this state for three ;
years he has not been active In the inter
est of any republican faction, but his can- !
dldacy was pushed by the friends of Gov
ernor Tfabody and his selection by the
caucus Is regarded with much complacency
by the Peabody people.
Frank W. Frewln of Teller county was
the can, II, late of the Woloott faction, and
he made a strong fight for several hours. ,
Matters were finally adjusted harmont- 1
ously, everybody In the caucus Joining in
naming Dickson for speaker, and he was
nominated by acclamation.
Plan for l.onar Delay.
The republican leaders have not yet de
termined positively upon their line of ac
tion after the legislature Is opened. It Is
possible that Harry C. Riddle, one of the
three members of the election commission,
may present a report to the lcslslature de
claring that there was much fraud perpe
trated In Denver against the candidacy of
Governor Peabody, wntte bis two fellow
commissioners simply certify to the elec
tion returns less the districts thrown out
by the supreme court. The legislature
would then have for Its consideration prac
tically a majority and minority report on
the election in the city of Denver. Some
of the leading republican politicians say
this will not be done, but the attorneys
who are handling the case for Governor
Peabody say It may be done. Another
plan that Is meeting with favor among
many members of the legislature Is to
follow the supreme court In reviewing
the vote in this city. As soon as the su
preme court has finished with a certain
number of precincts, the legislature Is to
take them up and conduct its own exam
ination along lines similar to those employed
by the supreme court. It would be months
before the legislative committee having
this count In charge would be prepared to
report. The republican leaders have no
hesitancy In declaring that one of the
things they will do Is to unseat the dem
ocratic senators, Born nnd Healey, who
two ytars ago were given the seats of the
republicans, Dick and McDonald.
May Insent Democratic Senators.
There are four other democratic senators
who muy share the fate of Born and
Healey, although it has not yet been defin
itely decided that they will be unseated.
The republicans base possible actions in
these four canes on the public statements
of ex-CongrcKaman Shaffroth, who an
nounced that 7,000 fraudulent votes had been
cast for him at his election. The four demo
cratic senators were elected at the same
time by pluralities approximating 4,000. The
republican leaders reaimn that If there
were 7,000 fraudulent votes cast, the four
men who had pluralities of 4,000 could not
have been elected.
Chairman D. B. Falrley of the republican
state central committee declared this after
noon that It was an error for anybody to
claim that the state association required the
Inauguration of a new governor on the first
Tuesday after the first Wednesday after
the legislative session.
"The state constitution expressly pro
vides," said Chairman Falrley, "that the
governor shall hdld over until his' succes
sor has duly qualified. There Is no getting
around that and Governor Peabody will
hold his soat until his successor has quali
fied properly."

ALL-DAY CONFERENCE AT PHILABELPHIA
Statement Forwarded to Bishop Tattle
at ft. Loots Reviewing; the His
tory of the Controversy
In Detail.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2. The develop
ments today In the controversy between
Rev. I. N. W. Irvine, the deposed priest
of the Kplscopal church, and Bishop Tal
bot of the diocese of Central Pennsylvania
Indicate that the case of Dr. Irvine against
the bishop has entirely collapsed. J. Fred-
crick Jenklnson of Philadelphia, assistant
counsel with Herbert Noble of New York
of the presenters is said to be on his way
to St. Louis with a statement for Bishop
Tuttle, presiding bishop of the Episcopal
church, asking leave to withdraw the pre
sentment against Bishop Talbot and re
questing permission to make a new pre
sentment. The vestrymen of Huntingdon,
Pa., whose names appear on the present
ment, today announced their Intention of
forwarding a formnl statement to Dr.
W. B. Bodlne, chairman of the Board of
Inquiry appointed by Bishop Tuttle de
manding the 'Withdrawal of their signa
tures from the presentment on the ground
that the signatures were procured through
Irregular methods.
Conference Iasta All Day.
Attorney Noble returned from New York
last night and all day was closeted with
Dr. Irvine. Attorney Jenklnson, Rev. Ben
1amin Odell. Rev. Xr. W. F. Noble, a.
brother of the senior counsel, and other
presenters. Late this afternoon a mes
senger was sent to the Pennsylvania ela
tion and he returned with a ticket for St.
Louis, which was sent to the room occu
pied by the conferees. It was nearly 7
o'clock tonight when the conference came
to the end. The first man to leave the
room was Dr. Irvine. He was Immediately
surrounded' by a group of newspaper re
porters, who had been In waiting during the
greater part of the day, but he begged
them to refrain from asking any questions.
Finding It impossible to secure any In
formation from the deposed priest regard
ing the proceedings at the conference, the
reporters endeavored to prevail upon hlin
to make a statement concerning the pub
lished letter he is said to have written to
a clergyman in Hartford, Conn., in which
he said he is in straightened financial cir
cumstances. "For God's sake, gentlemen, do not ask
me any questions," was his reply.
When Attorney Jenklnson came out he
went directly to the Pennsylvania railroad
station, where it is presumed he, took a
train for St. Louts. He would not answer
questions. It was the same with Herbert
Noble and hi brother, the Rev. Dr. Joble.
They refused absolutely to make any state
ment for publication. It is understood
that Herbert Noble Intends to remain here
until the return of Dr. Jenklnson.
Bishop Talbot Declines to Talk.
Another developmtnt? in the case today
waa a hurried visit to the city by Bishop
Tulbot. He came from his home in South
Bethlehem and is eaid to have called upon
several persons who are devoted to his
Interests. He returned home this arter
ooon. Bishop Talbot epent most of his time
while here in consultation with Rev. Dr.
Fulton, editor of the Church Standurd, who
received the original letter written the
bishop to Dr. Samuel Upjohn, which was
the direct cause of Dr, Irvine's attempt to
present the prelate.
Dr. Fulton declined to state the nature of
Bishop Talbot's errand. Ho said the
bishop did not tell him why he came to
this city and that he did not ask him. He
gave it as his opinion, however, that bishop
Talbot will not Issue a statement for the
reason that nothing has been proved
against him and It was not his place at
this time to publish a statement.
It was learned tonight that the statement
of withdrawal which Mr. Jenklnson will
present Bishop Tuttle at Bt. Louis will re
view In detail the Irvine-Talbot difficulty.
It will also allege that the presenters, in
this proceeding, have no desire except to
secure simple Justice for Dr. Irvine at the
hands of a clerical court.
The new presentment. It is declared, will
allege against Bishop Talbot all of those of
the collapsed paper. Besides these charges
Others will be Included, which, It is stated,
will be based on another letter, equally as
denunciatory of Dr. Irvine us the 1,'pjohn
letter. This letter, which is said to bear a
date as recent as the Fulton copy of the
L'pjohn letter, which copy was furnished by
Bishop Talbot to Rev. Dr. John Fulton In
July last, Is said to have been written by
Bishop Talbot to a gentleman In New York
and to be now In the possession of friends
of Dr. Irvine.
Irvine Is Without Money.
HARTFORD, Conn., Jan. 2. A prominent
Hartford clergyman, fays the Post, has re
ceived a letter from Rev. Ingram N. W.
Irvine, who figures in the charges brought
against Bishop Talbot of Phlladelpnla. The
letter Indicates that the writer Is In
straightened financial circumstances, say
lna In part:
