The Japanese Score Another Job Lot Of
Victories-China Anxious to Quit on
Any Terms--This About Settles the war.
The United States will Arbitrate.
CHEZ Foo, Nov. 23.-Dispatches have
been received here stating that the Jap
anese captured Port Arthur on Wednes-
day last after eighteen hours fighting.
The second Japanese army under the
command of Field Marshal Count Oay1na,
Minister Of War, consisted of about 10000
men, and when this force arrived off the
Regents Sword promontory, it was divid-
ed into two detachments, one of which
aided by a part Of the japanese fleet, op-
Grated against Tallenwau, while the other
directed it's movements az eainst Kin Chow,
on the western side of the promontory,
some miles north of Port Arthur,
Thirty-two japanese torpedo boats
made a concerted rush upon the entrance
of the harbor Of Port Arthur, and at the
same time the Japanese land forces at
tackled the place from the rear, while at
the same time heavy artillary fire was
poured into the Chinese forts. The Jap
anese Infantry then stormed defense
after defense. The Chinese resisted
feebly. There were few hand-to-han
fights, but finally the Chinese became
panic stricken, and the Japanese carried
everything before them.

the treasury officials that deposits Of gold
for the payment Of the bonds will be
made very promptly, and as the under.
standing is that none Of the gold is to be
taken from the treasury, an early resto-
ration of the gold reserve to above the
100000, 900 mark will be the result. The
bonds, including premiums, will realize
to the government about $58,500,000.
The gold balance, which is now in round
numbers, $57, 100000, will, if the expec-
tations Of the officials regarding the de-
posits of gold are borne out, be increased
to about $116,000,000.

The Mines Near DrummOnd About to be
Put i'll Active Operation.
During the past few years considerable
has been said in regard to the coal pros
poets of Granite county. These deposits
lie in the vicinity Of Drummond and
Stone Station, and during that time have
been opened up to a greater or less de-
gree. The properties south of Drum
mond have been developed to a consider
able extent and Mr.. Thompson now has
them in hand and is showing up a fair
quality of coal. Experts aver that there
is an immense amount Of coal in sight
already with only limited amount Of
development work done. It is Of fair
quality already and, at the price at which
it will be sold, will doubtless supplant
wood in the various industries and for
domestic use. Several Of our people
have ordered carload in order to make
thorough trial, and in a short time The
Mail will be enabled to give a more au-
thoritative statement as to its value as
compared in price and quality with other
coal. The mines are located only about
a mile and quarter from the railroad

Intense Excitement at Shanghai.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 24.-The fall Of Port
Arthur has created great excitement in
the native quarter of the city. All &C
counts agree that the Chinese fought
desperately. Some Of the officers and
men in the forts refused to surrender
and were all cut down by the Japanese.
After the first onslaught, resistance of
the Chinese is said to have been feeble,
and finally the Chinese troops became
panic stricken and fled. ."..

Silver Bow and Ravalli are the only
two counties in the state whose assess
ments are more this year than they were
last. Gallatin and Choteau counties
stand next in rank, their assessment this
year being less than $4,000 under that
of 1898.
The decrease in the valuation Of course
means decrease in revenue from taxes,
and it is estimated that the receipts on
this account will be over $21 700 less
than last year. The falling off comes at
a bad time, for the expenses Of the state
government, with the meeting of the
legislature and it's incidentals, will be
greater the coming year than they were
this year.

The Field OF Waterloo.
In July, 1914, Wellington was ap-
pointed ambassador TO France, and
in that capacity went to the Congress
OF Vienna. While this body was sit
ting Napoleon escaped from Elba,
and the sessions were broken up. 1t
seemed probable that Napoleon would
go to Belgium, and to this cOuntry's
defense proceeded an army under
Wellington and one from Prussia un-
der Blucher. The battles OF Ligny
and Quatre Bras were succeeded,
June ls, 1915, by the great engage
ment of Waterloo. 1t was undoubt-
edly the greatest battle in modern
times. The invincible Frenchman
and the undaunted Engllshmen met
TO try conclusions, and on the issue OF
that contest, it is not too much 10
say, hung the fate OF the world To

After the battle Wellington
marched on Paris and there, at the
request OF the allied sovereigns, re
mained for three years in command o.
