JAPANESE CRUELTY.

Almost Every Male Resident of Port
Arthur Killed.
LONDON, Dec. 4-The correspondent
of The Times telegraphs as. follows
from Hiroshima, Japan: / have just
returned from the seat of war and had
Q conversation with Viscount Mussa
Munemitzu, the foreign minister, in
regard to misconduct Of the Japanese
at Port Arthur. / informed him that ]
had watched the Japanese army enter
the town. The Chinese resisted to the
last. / saw Chinese in plain clothes
with firearms concealed on their per-
o I also found explosive bullets.
The japanese reported civilians fired
upon them from the houses and they
therefore deemed it necessary
To Extermtnate Them.
The Japanese were further excited by
finding the mutilated remains Of Jap
anese prisoners. Some Of the prisoners
had been burned alive. I saw no re-
sistence in the town during the next
four days. The japanese pillaged the
town and killed almost every man.
Very few women or children were
killed. Those who were killed were
probably killed Enthusiastically. I saw
cores Of Chinese prisoners pinioned,
stripped and shot. hacked with knives,
ripped open, disemboweled and dis
membered. Many bodies were partially
burned

The commissioner of pensions is of the

sion roll, and after q year 1t must begin to
decline.
The claims pending in the bureau have
increased more than 10000 during the
year. Al large proportion of the new claims
filed are for increase of pension by those
now ON the rolls.
The number of certificates issued was
S0.2l3.
The names dropped from the rolls for all
causes during che year numbered 81, 951.
Among our pensioners are Q widows and
8 daughters Of soldiers of the Revolution
and As survivors of the war Of 1919.
Purgation was Necessary,
The barefaced and extensive pension
frauds exposed under the direction of the
courageous and generous veteran soldier
now at the head OF the bureau leave nc
room for the claim that no purgation OF
nj pension rolls was needed or that con
tinued vigilance and prompt action are
not necessary to the same end.
The accusation that an effort to detect
pension frauds Is evidence of unfriendli-
ness toward u worthy veterans and q
denial OF Their claims to the generosity of
the government suggests an unfortunate
indifference to the commission of any Of
fsnse which has for its motive the secur-
ing of q pension and indicates a willing
ness TO be blind to the existence of mean
and treacherous crimes which play upon
demagogic fears and make sport Of the pa.
triotic impulse of a grateful people.

My wife committed suicide in the city
jail last night, and they think l did It.
/ got away frem the boys. but the old
man and the other boys are after me
and VIII kill me II they catch me"
This and much more was told in
frantic. lncoherent manner that indl-
Gated the man was either suffering
from dcllrum tremens or was insane.
He was taken In charge by the officer
and City Physician j. ". Mcknight was
sent for.
After the stranger had somewhat
quieted down he give his name as j.
II. Walker, and said he came from
Dallas. where he had worked In a
barber shop for the past FIVE years He
said his wife left him about year and
n half ago ana went to live with a
family named Curtis In Oak cum; n few
weeks ago she came to the city and
made her home with a woman named
Worley at 1853 Llveoak street; that
few days ago Mrs. Worley had her
arrested and put In jail where she COM
mitted suicide. and now her people
thought he did II and wanted to kill
him.
He is a genteel looking fellow, about
1--WE feet seven Inches high and APP
parently about 81 or 80 years old. He
has round face, with long red
moustache and blue eyes. His clothes
were neat and OF fairly good material.
He writes a good hand and conversed

When taken In charge he had little

Dr.McKnight ordered him kept quiet

His appearance indicates that he has
been drinking heavily recently, and
there was an odor Of chloroform about
him when he appeared at the station

CHEF DOLPHIN ON nEBS.
RELATES. OF HIS PERSONAL
KNOWLEDGE, DEBs' TRAITS.
Debs opposed the strike with All
the vehcmence of His Nature,
but Fought Like "a Fighter,
the strike Declared.

Michael Martin Dolphin. assistant
grand chief OF the order of Railway
Photographers, who has been in Fort
Worth for several days. Is a personal
friend OF Eugene V. Debs. and talks
interestingly OF the famous boycotter.
Though Mr.. Dolphin does not APP
prove of the recent strike and boycott
by the American Railway union, and
his order refused to take part in IT,
he does not think President Debs is
the terrible man he was pictured In
fact. he says Debs was opposed to
the strike and opposed 1t with all the
vehemenoe of his nature in the con-
vention which ordered it.
In that convention Debs made
speeches and used all his influence to
have 1t refuse to take upon itself the
fight Of the Pullman shopmen. But
the radical forces led by man named
Hogan of Great Northern fame, were
in the majority and outvoted Debs
and his friends.
The constitution Of the American
Railway union required the executive
NTlffIA 10 curry hhA AiAN wa -
majority, and nothing was left Tor
Debs to. do but order the strike or re-
sign his office. He chose the former
course, and here Is where, In Mr.. Dol
phtn's opinion, he made u mistake.
lie thinks Dcbs should at once have
rendered his resignation, and believes
had he done so the convention would
have refused 10 accept IT, and as
result would have resclnded the strike
resolution rather than lose MS presl-
dent the man who had founded the or
der and in whom they all had such
implicit confidence.
Having chosen to abide by the ac-
ton of the majority OF the conven-
ton, Mr.. Debs went into the fight
with all the vim and earnestness of
his nature, determined to win.
The outcome Of the great boycott,
Mr. Dolphin thinks, could not have
been different. The American Railway
union had no grievance against the
railroads, and for a strike to be sue
cessful there must be substantial
grievance.
He discredited the stories about Debs
ordering the strike to enrich himself,
and as an evidence of his unselfshness.
related an Incident in Debs' history
which occurred only few years ago,
After he had declined to serve longer ns
secretary of some benevolent assOcia-
tion. he was offered and urged to ac-
cept the edltorshlp of the Fireman's
Magazine He told the committee who
waited upon him that he would accept
Il on one condition, only which was
that he be allowed to name his own
salary. The committee thinking the
present salary not large enough to
suit him, and being willing to pay
more, readily agreed to the condition.
Mr.. Debs' first act was To cut his own
salary from $500 to $1,000 yenr,

He Was.

The petition in the suit for divorce
filed in the Seventeenth district court
Yesterday by Hattie Smith vs.. A. y
smith alleges that the plaintiff is
resident OF Tarrant county and that
the defendant Is OF Colorado county,
Tex. The plaintiff and defendant were
married in Coplah county, Miss, March
Fl. 1883 The plaintlff during their mar
rled life discharged all wlfely obligh-
lions, but that defendant about one
year after the marriage commenced
a course OF unkind, harsh and tyran-
meal conduct that continued until April
2 1892, when they separated The de-
PENDANT was guilty Of excuses, cruel
treatment and outrages that made Nv
ing together impossible. In February,
1872 the defendant had assaulted her
with n knife to take her life, but was
prevented from accomplishing his pur-
pose. On divers occasions the defend
ant had publicly accused the plaintiff
Of unchastlty and adultery After the
separation he had threatened her life.
Since separation the defendant had
failed to support or provide for plain
tiff, wherefore plaintiff pruys for
Judgment dlssolving the marriage con-
tract with defendant at his cost.
