HORRORS OF PORT ARTHUR.

A dispatch from Toxic says it is re-
ported that the japanese have complete
" silenced the forts on Rihlung and Su.
sung mountains, and that their main
strength is now attacking Else Mountain.
A junk, which left Port Arthur on
November 7. has arrived at Cheioo briug-
ing the news that the garrison up to that
time bad repulsed all japanese attacks.
The junk was Intercepted by Japanese
torpedo-boat, which confscated all the
correspondents on board. Two Chinese
who were on the junk, we're executed by
the japanese.
The japanese continue to lombard
Port Arthur, aud the shells are falling
so necessarily that the Russians have
practically abandoned the repairs of the
works protecting the harbor. Citizen
volunteers and the police are now re-en-
forcing the garrisons of the forts, accord
ing to the stories of Chinese arriving at
Toxic, sixty of whom left Port Arthur on
November s owing to the high price of
food
Special dispatches from Port Arthur
aud Chefoo, which are printed in Lon
don newspapers, adddittle to recent news
ofthe besieging operations at Port Arthur
but give terrible descriptions of the con-
dition of the besieged.
The DAILY Nails correspondent before
Port Arthur described the Russians killed
and those taken prisoner as greatly ema-
ciated, and asserts that the men subsist
entirely on a daily ration Of less than two
pounds of black bread.
The Daily Telegraph's Chefoo CORE
spondent declares that the task of bury
ing the bodies of the slain at Port Arthur
is now beyond control, and that the corpses
are simply pitched into the new dock ex-
cavations near Golden Hill, and where
there is only few feet of water
The condition of the helpless women
is heartrending. Several groups Of them
going to market have been blown To pieces.
The street scenes there are said to be
sickening.
Bennett Burleigh slso sends 10 the
Daily Telegraph narrowing picture OF
the condition of the wounded in Port
Arthur. of whom vast numbers are lying
unattended within the inner forts. In
the name ofcommon humanity, he thinks
some effort shou d be male in behalf of
the helpless sufferers. and he suggests
that as soOn as possible they should be
taken upon neutral ships flying the Red
Cross and transferred to hospitals at Che
foo and Shanghai.

Fire andLoss of Life.

New, York, Nov. l0.-In fire at No.
l40 east 9th street, early this morning,
which the police declare was OF incen-
diary origin, three persons we're burned
to death, and many others had narrow
escapes from death. The dead are:
Frederick Webber, aged SO; Blanche
EuhIen, aged Is, and Lillian Euhlen,
aged IS. The damage to the building
is estimated at $4,000. In the cellar
the police found number of partially
burned barrels and boxes, all soaked
with oil.
The flames followed the stairs and the
dumb waiter shaft with great rapidity,
cutting off all means of escape within the
building and a number of daring rescues
were made by the firemen with scaling
ladders and life nets Firemen found
Weber, who is a paralytic, lyingon the
floor near the head of the stairs. He had
evidently crawled out of bed to the stair
way and had there been overcome.
Near him, almost touching him, lay the
bodies of the two girls. They, too, had
been overcome by the smoke aud the r
bodies burned almost beyond recognition.
Ten families, many of whom have a
number Of children, lived in the building,
and it is considered miraculous that more
lives we're not lost.

presidential candidate of the socialist

entire United States. Illinois gave
Debs his banner vote, probably leo, 600.
In Wisconsin the percentages give Debs
from $4,000 to $4,000. These figures
are almost sensational, when COM
pared to the vote of 524 for Debs in
Wisconsin four Years ago. In Indiana,
his own State, Debs had $4,000 votes,
an increase of 10000 over four years.
In Iowa he received 10000 votes. a

votes, whereas four years ago he counted
only 1923. 10 Kansas, the socialist vote
was sweled from 1000 to 5000. In
Wyoming, he received only 500 votes.
Utah, however, gave him 5000, a gain
of 1900 over 1900. Estimates OF the
Debs vote in South Dakota place the
figures at 1000. Four years ago Debs
had only 179. Montana gave Debs,
5. 900 votes. In Colorado Debs received
l, 800. In Nevada he had 700. Idaho

In Vermont his vote is less than 100.
Texas swells the vote in the Debs column

was reflected in extreme irregularity and nu-
merous recessions in prices of more or less

the frequency of the changes. Nothing, how

There was good buying on the decline, and
recoyeries were frequent and abrupt. The

THE OBSERVATION of ex-Mayor
Strauss concerning politics is believed
by some democrats to have been again
verified in the late election. 1t has
been suggested that the party was bun
coed, and that the moneyed interests of
the cOuntry-in sympathy with the
Roosevelt admiuistralion-had as much
to do with nominating Judge Parker as
the democrats. Now that the smoke Of
the battle has disappeared and a retro
spect is taken, some are endeavoring to
persuade themselves to believe that the
gold plank was introduced in the demo-
cratic platform to keep certain elements
out of the told who nestled in it on other
occasions. In tnis way the ranks would
be depleted and Mr.. Roosevelt would
have walk-over. 1t is, they say, a
significant lact that certain Cresuses
were loud in their praises of Judge Par
ker, and it is intimated that had the
latter by any unforeseen upheaval been
elected all important positions would
have been filled from the remnants of
the Palmer and Buckner party. Some
in their sober judgment have suggested
that in future the people of the South
might just as well nominate a man from
their own section, as they would not
have suffered more complete Waterloo
had Senators Daniel or Bailey headed
the ticket. They call attention to the
fact that the North and West are hostile
to this section on general principles,
and no matter who the democrats nomi-
nate, the fact that the candidate is APP
proved by the Solth seems sufficient to
cause his defeat.
