Via Che Foo, Jan. i.-r-S p. m. (Censored.) The flag of the Rising Sun floats tonight over the captured citadel of Port Arthur. When the news of the surrender of the fortress reached the "soldiers yesterday, leaping from mouth to mouth, the Japa nese drew close to their lute enemies and fraternized freely with them. When nightfall canie great bonfires rose In the Japanese camp like a blazing halo, whlk' great choruses of "banzai" echoed through the hills. The . entire garrison and all the non combatants will march out of the city Jan uary 6 (Thursday) to the village of Yahuthcwel, near the shores of Pigeon bay, from which place the Ku&alan officers will be transported to Palny and thence to whenever they may desire. The prisoners of war will be detained at the Russian bHrracks in the village until they can be transferred to Dalny, and from there to Japan., rtaaalam skips Disarm. rilD FOO, Jsn. 4. (Evening.) The pro tected cruiser Akltsushlma, four torpedo boat destroyers and two torpedo boats constituted today's Japarese guard oft this port. The destroyers which guarded the Russian flotilla last night went out at the expiration of twenty-four hours, returning immediately with others. They have been In and out of the harbor lntermlttlngly ever since. Tonight all the Russian de stroyers withdrew to the south side of the harbof, where they probably will remain until their disarmament Is complete.

PETERSBURG, Jan. 4.-The press here contains absolutely no additional news of the war, but the papers, with one ac cord, praise the heroic wurk of the Port Arthur garrison and say its record fur nlshed an object lesson to both HusBla and Japan. j ' ' " " After bestowing a tribute on the de fenders the Nuvoe Vremya eaya:f . Tim unprcparedness ut the fortress, which now standa coniesxed before the world, reads us a lesson on what Russia mum do and how it niuS'. change its methods to achieve victory. - It also show Japan what it has u ride rum en when such enor mous losses are entailed In cupUirlng even a small, empty-hnnrted garrtBon driven to the lust duel). Kushiu lias had eleven months of hurd but valuable experience in the art of war under the new" conditions imposed by modern technical requirements. It ha been costly training, but it will be valuable. Is an even more strongly worded article the Russ says: Had the Japanese been able to cut off the last train which reached Port Arthur the blockade would have found the fortress even worse prepared. Well may those few remaining heroes say: "We hive Aon our duty, but ynu, oh. people of 8t. Peters burg arid of Russia, huve you done all you could and should have done?" The Russ concludes: Russia cannot afford to quit during a losing fight. The time has now cmne for every one to put a shoulder to the wheel and redeem our prestige In the fnr cast. The paper bluntly attributes to the effect of the muzzling regime under the Into Minister of the Interior von Plehve -the fact that the nation was not fully warned beforehand of the real conditions to be faced at the opening of the war, and says the press is now more fully able to point out the needs and urge the nation to activity. One of the most serious features of Port Arthur's fall, according to the Novostl, "Is the effect upon already ' questionable neutrality of the Chinese. Loss ot prestige In the eyes of the' orientals," says the paper, "is much more serious than the strategical value of the fortress." Faces Drears' Christmas. The fall of Port Arthur has taken all the heart out of the approaching festivi ties of the Russian Christmas. It is even proposed to dispense with the Illuminations and decorations which are always features of the holiday.' The churches are filled with mourning ' friends and relatives of the fallen heroes of the fortress. A na tional service In the Kazan cathedral at which the emperor and the imperial family will be present is being arranged for to morrow.

But the unmistakable grief of the peo ple Is also accompanied by undeniable mutterlngj against the government. The papers are openly blaming the military censorship for keeping the public in the dark as to the true situation of the fort ress and allowing its surrender to come as a surprise. They are using this as a text to show the necessity for taking the people Into the government's confidence and are continuing tneir attacks on the bui.eauracy "whoso bloodlebH Hps repeat the same old lie whenever It Js proposed that the sovereign should hear the voice of the people." The Russ declares the nation's wellwlsh ers could not tolerate the Idea of peace, but adds that no victory Is possible with disunion at home and insists that: Japan is counting as much on the pos sibilities of a re-volution In Russia as upon Its own army and strategists. Therefore It is vital to convince Japan that the war Is to be pushed until the enemy's re sources are exhausted nnd the whole Rus sian nation will be stolid, which will, how ever, only be possible by allowing the real representatives of the nation to speak. The renewal of agitation on this line In spite of the official warning is extremely significant and may foreshadow a coming crisis. Indeed, a prominent writer Issues a warning In as many words that unless the people are taken Into the government's confidence in its ultimate purposes It faces inevitable disaster at home. From reliable Information In the posses sion of the Associated Press, It appears that the military situation below Mukden Is by no means as satisfactory as re ported. The number of troops nt General Kouropatkln's disposal Is about 225,000, and the transportation over the Siberian rail road Is proving Inadequate. This fact In connection with the internal situation may have an Important bearing should Japan submit peace proposals not too' humiliating. Nothing In the way of expected peace prop ositions has yet made its appearance here. If such proposals are contemplated through the United States they might be awaiting the return of Ambassador McCormick, who will arrive here Friday, Emperor Nicholas 'at Mlask. MINSK, Jan. 4.

"'" ALTA ADAMS Tft TAKE 0ATI1 Democratic Candidate for Governor Colorado Will Osaply with Btttttei. of LEGISLATURE PERFECTS ORGANIZATION Report that Republicans Will In ereaae Majority by I naeatlng Mea Elected to Seaate Two Years Ao. DENVER, Jan. 4. The democrats have decided that on January 10, the date pre scribed by the statutes, they will have Alva Adams sworn In as governor of the state. The oath will be administered by Justice Steele of the supreme- court. The hour and place of the ceremony have not been definitely settled. The fifteenth general assembly was called to order at noon today and the work of organization commenced at once. Lieutenant Governor Haggot presided over the senate and the permanent or ganlzatlon of the house was effected by the choice of William H. Dickson as chair man. It was somewhat doubtful if the legls- lature will be able to do more than per manently organize today, but it Is on the program to unseat six democratic senators as soon ss the senate Is In working order, This, when done, will make the senate twenty-five republicans and nine democrats. Contests In the House, There are four contests in the house. In every one of which the republicans are contestants. If these are decided in favor of the republicans the makeup of the house will be ilfty-one republicans and fourteen democrats. The present strength on Joint I . .... - ... i Duuot is: Democrats, 33; republicans, no. If all contests are decided favorably to the republicans it will be: Democrats, 23; republicans, 78. There is one vacancy in the senate. It Is possible, but not probable, that the legislature by the end of the day can canvass the votes for the state ofllces. If it is not clone today it Will be taken up the first thing tomorrow. Harry C. Liddle, the republican member of the city election commission, this morn ing handed to the secretary of state a statement to the effect that he had cer tified to the result of the vote In Denver only because he had been ordered to do so by the supreme court. He did not con tradict the facta as set forth in the re turn of the commission, but declared that, in his opinion, the court would not have ordered him to certify the returns if it had possessed equal knowledge with Mr. Liddle of the, exact situation. Orders Full Investigation. The supreme court today directed that an Inquiry be made into the conduct of the last election In this city, and ordered that It assume the scope asked by the republicans. This niusuut that tne investi gation shall not only take in the ballot boxes, but the poll books, registration slips and all other matters pertaining to the election. The application of Alva Adams for a modification of the order, limiting it to the ballot boxes only, was denied. The order was, however, modi lied in the matter of expenses. It was directed that Mr. Adams pay one-half of the expenses attendant upon the examination of the boxes and one-half the salary of the referee to be appointed by the supreme court in this connection. The republicans were directed to pay one-Jialf the expense incident to the examination of the boxes and all the cost of tho Investigations, of all other matters pertaining to the election. This puts upon Mr.' Adams no greater financial burden1 than that which his at torneys yesterday announced he would bt willing to assume and allows the repub licans to pay for the greater part of the nvestigation, which Attorney J. H. Hcrsey yesterday announced they were willing to do. Text of the Decision. When the court opened none of Mr. Ad ams' attorneys were in court and Chief Justice Gabbert 'directed the clerk to tele phone to the ofllce of C. S. Thomas, leading counsel for Mr. Adams, and tsk if he de sired to be present in court when the an nouncement concerning the order was made. The clerk returned with the Infor mation that all of Mr. Adams' counsel had left the city. Chief Justice Gabbert there upon announced his decision. He said: It has been elnlmed by Mr. Adams' attor neys that this investigation will take up matters which his application for an In vestigation did not intend to be taken up. There is no foundation for this clnlm. When counsfll presented the application for an investigation there was nothing said by them limiting Its scope. When the order vm issued bv the court last Friday to the effect that all the election machinery should be investigated Mr. Belford, one of Mr. Adams' attorneys, was present and he then 1 offered no objection. An Inspection of the j pennon nuuiiiiiirn in ... ..... ............ '. . , . i . Haolr limit 1 . a disclose, iin iiit-iiiiuu i-'i . ..n investigation. There Is absolutely no foun datlnn for the claim that the order goes beyond the scope of Mr. Adams' original remiest for an investigation. The court will, however, modify the order lnnofar as the matter of expense is con cerned Mr. Adams has said that If the In vextlgstlon Includes the entire election he will be forced to withdraw the petition. The counsel on the opposing side has ex pressed a willingness to pay for the entire rnntter rather than to allow it to be lim ited to the boxes. If they had not made thli offer we might permit Mr. Adams to withdraw his petition. There is. however, no need for him to pay more than his coun--i h rieclnred hlni willing and able to a w .11 reel that one-half of the ex pense Incident to the examination of the boxes shall be shared equally between the oppoHlng parties, and that Mr. Adams be relieved of all expense Incurred In the In vestigation beyond the examination of boxes. I that agreeable to the counsel for the people? Mr. Hersey said that It was acceptable to him and the court directed that an order for a full and complete inquiry into the manner of holding the election be entered .y the clerk. No Action Taken b the Legislature. No action was taken by the legislature looking toward a settlement of the guber natorial contest, and it is not likely thnt anything In this direction will be under taken at tK first session tomorrow. - The house progressed rapidly with Its work and effected Its permanent .organiza tion by electing William H. Dickson as speaker, and Just before an hour's recess, taken at 2 o'clock, sent word to the senate that It was prepared to enter Into Joint sojislon for the purpose of hearing the. gov ernor's message and of canvassing the vote. The senate, however, made no such prog ress ss the house, and when It adjourned at 1:30 was not prepared to enter upon a Joint session. Its troubles came through the report of the credentials committee, which declared that all members were en titled to their seats except Senators Born and Hea'ley, who were arbitrarily seated by the democrats, two years ago. vLieutenant Governor Hsggott, who pre sides over the senate, declined to receive the report, saying that whi:e In his opinion they had been Illegally seated, sun tney had been seated, and It would require something stronger than the report of the committee on credentials to deprive them of their seats. A long debate followed. A recess was taken and at the conclusion of the recess the senate adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. When the senate meets tomorrow an at tempt will be made to oust the two sena tors. It requires a two-thirds vote to de prive a member of his seat, and the repub licans have but nineteen senators against fifteen democrats. The plan most In favor onlght is to reconsider the vote hy whlcn they were seated two years ngo. Lieutenant Governor Haggott declared that a motion to reconsider could be made only by some member of the senate who two years gu voted In the affirmative on the question of seating Senators Born and Ilea ley. There Is but one member who is In a position to make the motion. He Is Senator Caslmero Maria of Las Animas, who two years ago voted with the democrats, but who has this aesslon been classed with the republicans. It Is not likely that any Joint session will be held either to receive the message ot Governor Tenbody or to canvass the vote until the senatorial fight Is settled. . There has so far been net the slightest evidence of any disturbance, nor has there been In any direction an Indication of breach of the peace because of the political situations The democratic leaders, both in the house and senate, accepted the scanty emoluments that accrue to the minority with the greatest good humor.

THEODORE THOMAS IS DEAD Orchestra Leader Passed Awav Yes terday Horning, Death Caused by Pneumonia. CHICAGO, Jan. 4. Theodore Thomas, the noted orchestra leader, died of pneumonia at his residence here early today. He was 70 years eld. Death came to the world-famous director alrAost at the hour of achieving his am bition of years, the establishment of the Chicago orchestra In a magnificent per manent home. Mr. Thomas lived to lead his orchestra in but four concerts in the great new hall built by popular subscrip tion. His last appearance was at the con cert on Saturday, the day before Christmas. It was a week ago Saturday that Mr. Thomas first felt the ailment which cul minated In his death. Apparently the trouble was only a slight touch of the grip. Last Thursday, however, pneumonia developed. On Monday the physicians felt hopeful of a recovery, but last night there suddenly occurred a change for the worse. Burial services will probably be held next Friday in St. James' Episcopal church. No definite ararngements for the funeral have yet been made. Theodore Thomas, who was the son of an xpert violinist, was born in Eseus, Han over, Germany, October 11, 1S35. In 1846 his parents brought him to the United States, settling In New York City. Even at this early age the boy had created an Impression as a violinist. A concert trip through the southern cities in 1861 proved such a succesj that when Mr. Thomas re turned to New York he became one of the first violins In concert and operatic per formances during the engagement in Amer ica of Jennlo Llnd, Sontag. Grlsl and other great opera singers. The real beginning in Mr. Thomas' musical career was through a series of chamber concerts at New York during tho years intervening betwen 1855 and 18,2. In 1864 Mr. Thomas' first smyphonyi concerts were given at New York, and these were continued until he left that city. In 1878. to take charge of the College of Muslo at Cincinnati.

On hla return to New York Mr. Thomas conceived the Idea of a permanent orchestra In that city, but after seven years of endeavor he came to the conclusion that Chicago would be a better place for his future work. He came here In 1891 and formed the Chicago Or chestra association. On December 15 Inst year Orchestral hall, the permanent home of the Chicago orchestra, built at a cost of more than JSOO.OOO, was formally dedi cated. It is a monument that bears wit ness to the untiring efforts of the dead musician. Trustees of the Orchestral association say there Is not the slightest question that the concerts will continue. For the present Frederick A. Stock, the asslstaqt director, will be in charge. He has conducted many concerts while the orchestra has been on Its yearly tours and Is thoroughly familiar with Mr. Thomas' methods.

Omaha's new boulevard nnd the annun election of officers were lending subjects of consideration at tho meeting of the Prospect' Hill Improvement club In the hall at the corner of Thirty-fourth and Decatur streets last evening. Representa tives from several other Improvement clubs of Omaha were present. The width of the boulevards as well as the course to be taken from Twenty-seventh and Burt streets, were topics of discussion. The general sentiment of the club Is in favor of a boulevard not less than 100 feet wide, but a committee Is to meet J. Y. Craig, member of the Park board, and go over the route outlined In a petition which the club Is circulating. Mr. Craig said that the rough work on the boulevard has been done as far as Twenty-seventh and Burt streets, but he is not familiar with the topography beyond that' point. He favored a route that would afford the best view from B. nils park to Prospect Hill cemetery. Several of the members spoke In favor The Price of Pleasure. , It is hard for lovelv woman to forego the pleasures of the life which ahe wag created to enjoy and adorn. She may have to be busy all day in office or in store, yet ahe cannot deny herself the social pleasures which are offered her. But tne fatigue is often too great for her, and she suf fer from headacha end backache as a over-exertion. 4Tf Women who are tired and worn out will find a perfect tonic and nervine in Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription. It cures headache, backache and the other aches and pains to which women are subject. It establishes regu larity, dries weak ening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weak ness. It makes weak women strong and sick women well.

They called attention to the fact that the cost of the boulevart would fall heaviest upon those whose property abutted the proposed Im provement. Mr. Craig called attention to the fact that inasmuch n the boulevard Is for tlin Improvement of Tho localities through which It will go, beautiful views ought not to be sacrificed, even If the course did entail additional cost. The members expressed themselves very strongly ngainst the route from the reservoir to Fontunvllo paik. "This course," said one of the members, "Is Just what wo want to fight against."

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL Few People Know How I'aefnl It la la Preserving; Health anil Ilranty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize Its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the mere you take.-of it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absofba the gone and Impuil ties always present In the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. , Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok ing, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Improves the complexion, It whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic It absorbs the Injurious gases which col lect In the stomach and bowels; It disin fects the mouth and throat from the poison or rather in the form of large, pleasant of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form, tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges wlll'sooo tell in a much Improved condition of the general healtn, beiier complexion, sweeter bieaih and purer blood, and the beauty of it is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit. ' A Buffalo physician In speaking or the benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas In stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daUy use of thorn; they cost but twenty-fly cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than In any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.'
