Japanese soldiers at the fall of Port
Arthur. This dispatch says the govern
ment is not yet in possession Of the full
facts, but has ascertained the following
circumstances: Many Chinese soldiers,
both at Port Arthur and those who came
from outlying Notifications who were
taken by the Japanese soldiers, discarded
their uniforms, and it is now known to
be certain that nearly all the Chinese
in plain clothes killed were soldiers in
disguise. The Chinese inhabitants (pre.
sumably the majority of Port Arthur
left before the engagement, though few
remained, having been armed and order
ed to resist the Japanese and fire upon
them. This they did, and in the confu-
sion Of the fight it was impossible to
distinguish them from Chinese soldiers
Tho Japanese army on entering Port
Arthur wore greatly excited by the sight
of the fearfully mutilated bodies of their
comrades. some of whom had been burned
alive and some crucitied. Notwithstand-
ing this, the discipline of tho army was
maintained. Numbers of Chinese prls-
oners were taken and kindly treated
The wounded who could be moved are
on their way to Toxic aud will arrive in
few days.

Eugene Kelly, the New York Ex-Banker,
Dies at Rare Old Age.
New YORK, Dec. 19.--Eugene Kelly,
the banker, died today, aged 81. Kelly
was born in Trellick, County Tyronne,
Ireland, and at the age of 20 came to
this country. His first position was
that of clerk in Donnelly Bros dry
goods store. He tried gold mining in
1S49 and later started the San Francisco
banking house of Donohue, Kelly &
Ralston. During the war he moved his
business to New York and lost consid
erable money in southern loans. In
spite of this he amassed money at a
great rate until he retired from active
business several years ago. He was
then reported to be worth Sl2,Oo0,OOO to
Sl5,00O,000. His pocket book was al.
ways open to any fund intended for the
benefit of the Irish movement.

SEELEY'S STORY.

The Great Defanlter by Proxy Was II
Victim of Conscience.
New YORK. Dec. 19,-Samuel Z. Seeley,
the defaulting bookkeeper of the Shoe
and Leather bank, was arraigned for
trial in the United States circuit court
today. His attorney, Mr.. Angel. in.
timated that the defaulter would throw
himself on the mercy of the court. The
attorney says Seeley received not more
than $4,000 of the money stolen from
the bank, which was given to him in
sums ranging from s25 to 5000, for which
Frederick Baker took his notes. "Ihave
in my possession" said Angel, "about
half dozen of these notes, their aggre-
gate amount being S305. Seeley told me
that he always thought Baker would
make good the stealings, as Merrill,
Bakers clerk, had told him that Baker
was worth over 100000, nearly all of
which was in real estate. When Seeley
asked Baker to pay up, Baker would put
him off by saying that his property was
in such condition that it could not be
sold except at a great sacrifice" After
time, Seeley says he saw the situation
becoming more hopeless with each pass
ing day, but this seems to have mads no
difference with Baker, who continued
drawing money from the bank until
Seeley warned him to desist. The stories
OF Seeley's flight from this city, his
wanderings before reaching Chicago, and
his meeting with Mcfarland, who de-
livered him over to the police, is one in
which terror and ingratitude are most
strongly blended. Lawyer Angel relates
that Seeley left the bank for the first
time after 30 fixing his books that by
comparison with those of the paying
teller, the exact amount of the defalca-
ton could have been discovered within
half an hour. Seeley then took the mid
night train over the Pennsylvania rail
road for Washington, where he remained
a few hours, going thence to Harrisburg
Pa, which place be reached in the after
noon. He then bought ticket for Chi
cago, whers he arrived the next day
Sunday, at 10 o'clock in the morning
SAT no time during the remainder of his
stay in Chicago said Angel, "did Seeley
make any attempt to disguise himself
He was all the while in a condition
bordering on mental collapse II did
not ruu away" said Seeley, because ]
was utterly crushed in health and
spirits each night being sleepless one
and felt somewhat relieved in mind
when apprehended, although at first
made denial of my identity

YOUNG WILLIAM IN DANGER.

The Reichstag Proposes to Have Say
in Legislation for Germany.
BERLIN, Dec 17.-Dr. Neberling, i'm
perial secretary Of justice, introduced an
anti-revolutionary bill in the reichstag
today. He said it was not intended to
upset public opinion, nor was it an alb
solute anti-socialistic law, but it was di-
rected against classes of criminal ma
ture and against the work OF revolu
tionists seeking to undermine the
state The secretary of justice then
proceeded to refer to several intlamma-
tory pamphlets which had recently ap-
peared. The Interruptions of the 60
cialists we're 80 frequent and OF such a
nature that the president of the reich
stag, Herr Won Levetzow, was compelled
several times to call them to order DR..
Neberling then produced the revolu-
tionarv broad sheet, which, he asserted,
was intended for circulation in the bar
racks of the soldiers He added: "Tne
aim of our opponents can only be OBJ
tanned by overthrowing all order, and l
trust the majority of the house will
support the government against this
enemy, which denies anything sacred to
the people" lApplause
Herr Singer moved an adjournment
of the reichstag, expressing doubt as to
whether sufficient number Of deputies
were present to enable vote to be
taken. After roll call it was found that
Herr Singers point was we'll taken,
consequently Herr Won Levetzow, presi-
dent of the rechstag, adjourned the de-
bate on the anti.revolutionary bill until
Jan. s. The reichstag, by vote of lGs
to So, adopted this afternoon the resolu-
ton Of the committee, which recon-
mended that permission be not granted
the public prosecutor to take action
against the socialist members who re-
fused to rise and cheer for the emperor

Aaron Hershfield Agrees to Pay Dell
Hersh field $31 900 and Call 1t Square.
A recent special from Fargo to Salt
Lake paper says: Aaron Hershtield, the
Helena banker made famous by the re-
cent trial in Fargo, where his wife and
all of his relatives figured in the case,
has made settlement with Mrs. IIersh-
field. which will eventually give him his
freedom. 1t is understood he is to pay
her S3l 900, and she is to drop all fur
ther claims against him. The payment
of the money carries with it the pro-
vision that all expenses incurred by Mrs.
Hershtield during the trial are to be
borne by her. 1t is expected that Judge
Mcconnell will now grant the divorce
separating the two. Mrs llershiield's
original claim against the banker, L.. III.
Horehtield, was $4,000.
