SHOCKING SAVAGERY.
A CORRESPONDENT Tells Of ButcherY
Following the Capture Of
Port Arthur.

New York, Dec. 2O.-The World con-
tains letter from its special correspond
ent, james Creelman, who ACCOMPANIED
the japanese army on it's march on Port
Arthur. The letter is dated November
"a. After giving the details of the fall
Of Port Arthur, he says that the nos
session of one Of the most powerful
strongholds in the world was too great
strain upon the Japanese character.
which relapsed in few hours into a
british state from which it was awak-
ened generation ago. Almost the entire
population found in Port Arthur has been
massacred, and the work of butchering
the unarmed and unresisting inhabitants
has been continued. The streets are
choked up with mutilated corpses. In
spite of the vastness of the battlefield
and the strength of the batteries massed
in this mighty chain of land and sea
forts the taking of Port Arthur is robbed
OF its dignity as a battle by the fact
that a large and well-trained army at
lacked mere rabble.
MT. Creelman adds that he can bear
witness that up to the time Port Arthur
was entered both Japanese armies were.
cnlValrous and generous to tie enemy

fort they found by the roadside the hor-
rlbly mutilated bodies of their comrades
who had been in the advance guard.

SUING FOR HER PROPERTY.
Edward II. Poindexter, Hanged for
Murder, Left an Estate
I'm Trust.

Amsterdam, n. Y, Dec. 1o.-J. e.
Mason of West Charlton, Saratoga coun-
ty, has commenced legal proceedings for
the recovery of a large amount of money
and property to which he claims his wife,
Jane Mason, is entitled. Mrs. Mason was
the daughter Of Edward II. Poindexter,
who was hanged under the alias of Ed
ward Earle, for the murder at Sagevil1e,
Hamilton county, on October IA, 1881,
of his wife, the mother of Mrs. Mason.
His daughter Jane was six years of age
at the time of her fathers execution.
She is now 10 years old and was mar
ried recently to Mason.
POlndeIter was q member of q wealthy
Virginia family and was very reticent
after his conviction in imparting infor
nation regarding his family or early life,
claiming that he did not wish to bring
disgrace upon his relatives. He made
some reference to his early career in
confession, which was printed and sold
from the steps of the gallows on which
he was hanged. He also left O. letter in
charge of AlonZo Andrews of Worthwhile,
Fulton county. He charged Andrews
to deliver the letter when the daughter
became of age or when she married In
addition the condemned man left consid-
cradle property, it is claimed, in charge
of Andrews under the same conditions
Mason says that Andrews now refuses to
deliver the letter or property. He is of
the opinion that the letter contains val
liable information in regard to Poindex-
ters early life and his relatives in Vir-
glnla, where he believes a large estate is
located to which his wife is entitled

CHINA ON HER KNEES.
Commissioners Leave pekin to Open
Negotiations with the
Japanese.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 21.-MinisteY
DENLY cabled the state department today
that the Chinese government has ap-
pointed two peace commissioners, Chang
Yin Huah and Fhao, who will proceed
at once on their mission from Pekin to
the Japanese capital.
Shanghai, Dec. 21.--It is reported this
evening on good authority that direct
peace negotiations are proceeding between
Pekin and Toxic. The Japanese fleet
has left Port Arthur and steamed south
ward. It's destination is not known.
Washington, D. O., Dec. 21.-While
the navy department failed to bring any
news OF the events which happened at
Port Arthur during the occupation of
that stronghold by the Japanese, it did
include the first reports which have yet
reached the department from it's intelli-
gence officers at the seat of war touching
the great engagement off the mouth of
the Yulu river on October 80 last. The
naval officers reports confirm in every re-
spect the press dispatches published soon
after the battle and perhaps the most
significant portions relate to the battle
ships of the Chinese as opposed to the
Japanese cruisers. In substance they
show that the heavily-armored vessels
were practically uninjured by the Jap
anese fire, and. as this fact tends strongly
to bear out the arguments in favor of the
battleShip as against the cruiser as set
out in the report of the secretary of the
navy to Congress- without doubt the re-
ports will be exhibited to the House naval
committee in connection with the pending
proposition for the construction of three
more battleshiDs.
It is said that after the action COM
menced the Chinese were unable to make
signals on account of the shooting away
of halliards, ETC., and therefore no tactical
evolutions were performed by them, the
vessels manoeuvering independently. The
Japanese, however, signaled throughout
the action and manoeuvered in concert
The Japanese fire directed against the two
battleships is said to have been terrific,
the Chen Yuen being struck about 400
times and catching fire several times.
None of the japanese ships used tor

FLOCK TO THE FEDERATION
Anthracite Coal Miners Join the
Unions of Their Bltuminous
Brethren.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 2O-A dispatch
from Shenandoah, one of the principal
coal-producing points in the anthracite
region of this state, says that the news at
Pittsburg that the anthracite miners are
rapidly enrolling themselves with their
bituminous brethren in the United Mine
Workers of America, is received with
incredulity there. Labor leaders ac-
Rim have established about sixty as
semblies, embracing a small membership,
but they say that instead of increasing
the movement is steadily losing ground.
On the other hand, q prominent labor
leader said to reporter of the Associated
Press today that the United Mine Work
ers' organization is rapidly adding to it's
membership in the anthracite regions.
''Sixty-seven assemblies have been organ
lied with an average membership of 200
to $50 EACH" said he. ''This takes in
over 10 per cent. of the 10000 anthra-
cite miners in the state, and the work has
only just begun. The condition of the
anthracite miners steadily grows worse
Statistics which have recently been gath
cred prove that their wages average 30
cents a day, which Is the lowest figure
ever reached"
Massilon, O., Dec 20-The decision Of
the arbitration committee against the min
ers has aroused a storm Of resentment
here, and it Is believed another strike will
be declared. Groups of miners were gath
erd on the street corners today bitterly
denouncing the verdict OF the committee
The men expected at least 65 cents per
ton, and it is claimed that the operators
never hoped for such good terms as the
arbitrators gave them

PICTURED ON HER EYE.
Photographic Science Gives the
First Clue to Mrs. Shear
mans Slayer.

Jamestown, n. Y, Dec. 1.-THE re-
moval of the eyes of Mrs. Sherman, who
was murdered last Saturday, for sec
ond Photographic experiment in hopes
of tbs. retina revealing an image of the
murccTer, was not rewarded with sue
cess The eyes took on coating of film
after eaeir removal from the bOuy, and
all effor>c 30 clear them by the use of
various chemicals failed. Coroner Bow
ers, Fred Marsh and Sheriff Jenner said
this morning that they could take their
oath that the figure of man was plain
ly visible before the eyes were removed.
On the day Mrs. Sherman and her
daughter Mrs. Clinton Davis, were MUIR
dered at their farmhouse, six miles from
this city, they were the sole occupants
of the house. Mr.. Sherman had gone
to town to attend the funeral of his SON.
in-law, who had been killed in a railroad
accident. Upon returning home Mr..
Sherman, who is 20 years old, found
the bodies of his wife and daughter on
the floor. The women were evidently
killed with an axe or Ratchet, but there
was absolutely no clue to the murderer.
Coroner Bowers, accompanied by Fred
S. Marsh, a local scientist, went to the
residence and made a microscopic exam
lnation of the eyes of the dead women.
Nothing was revealed in the eyes OF Mrs.
Davis, but on one of those of Mrs. Shear
man the form of man was distinctly
photographed. The microscope used en-
targed the object viewed 400 times its
real size. The picture as revealed did
not show the face of the man who is
supposed to be the murderer. The mans
position was such, according to those who
made the examination, that the body was
shown only from the breast down to the
feet After the fisst surprise of the start
ling discovery made by Mr.. Marsh was ov-
er he made most careful examination,
which clearly revealed the mans
form. He was apparently big
man with long, heavy over
coat, unbuttoned, and which reached
below the knees The wrinkles in the
trousers could be plainly seen, and one
foot was behind the other, with the knee
bending as if in a STOPPING posture about
to take a step. DR.. Bowers, the coroner,
then made an examination, and says he
saw the picture as distinctly as he could
have seen man standing in front of
him. 1t was then decided to remove the
eyes so that further experiments might
be made, but it is believed that it was
mistake to remove them and that if the
eyes had been undisturbed the photo
graphs could easily have been obtained.
Much interest was taken in this expert
ment and the outcome will be q dlSap-
pointment to many who expected to Sc
cure a photograph from the eyes with
the hope of getting some clue to the
murderer

TEN SHIPS OVERDUE.
More Than 90 Lives Believed to
Have Been Lost in Pacific
Coast Storms.

San Francisco, CAL, Dec 2O.-There are
now ten ships overdue on this coast and
more than 100 lives are at stake on their
fate. Vessels now numbered on the over
