IN PORT ARTHUR.
Released American Correspondent Says
 All is Gay.


 Indianapolis, June 21.-The News to- day received from its special war cor respondent, Hector Fuller, who effected an entrance into Port Arthur, where he was imprisoned five days before he was ordered from the fortress, a spe- cial cablegram, dated Chefoo, June 21, in which Fuller gives his experiences in full. Among other things he says:
 Port Arthur was full of life and gayety, quite out of keeping with the stories of distress that had reached Chefoo. Indeed, nothing of this sort was observed. There seemed to be an abundance of supplies, and fresh sup plies were coming in from Chinese sources. The Japanese blockade has not been effective. The harbor en- trance has been freed of Instructions, the battleships have been repaired and the Notifications are constantly being made stronger. The garrison is larger than outside information has led me to believe. The troops are in excellent condition and the general health condi- tions of the city are good. There seem ed to be no fear that the city was like ly soon to fall.
 The night I was marched into Port Arthur under guard the city was un- usually lively, as the officers were giv- ing ball. Three officers were detailed to examine me, and they made thor ough work of it. After the exanina- tion was completed was lodged in prison. The prison is directly opposite Golden Hill. From the window of my cell had a good view of the inner bay, and could see distinctly the repaired battleships lying at anchor.'

 River Last Night.

River Last Night.

They then pulled the remainder of the four miles, rowing about a thirty stroke Going down the men rowed under thir-1 |ty strokes to the minute. The work was ragged and was decided falling off from the fine work of yesterday. E. c. Storrow and F. L. Higginson captain of the 1900 crew arrived at Red Top to-day and will renlain until after Ithe race. Both said there was consid- erable improvement in the work since the crew left Cambridge.

 The failure of this bank, the acting comptroller says. is due to excessive loans to the president and cashier, prin- cipally to the former. and to enterprises in which they are interested; specula- tion by them in stocks on margin, and wholly or partly worthless collateral.

SECOND POLICE REARING,
IMPORTANT TESTIMONY PRE.
 SENTED BY WITNESSES.

Aldermanic Chamber Filled With List
 eners--Captain S. F. Thrasher of Law
 and Order League Testifies ns to
 Inner Workings of Police Matters-
 Interesting Statement nInde in Re-
 gard to status of Crime in This City
 --City Attorney Webb Gives Infor-
 nation as to Failure of Police in Conducting Raids.
 The second hearing before the special committee of three appointed by May Tor Studley to investigate the city police department was held in the aldermanic chamber of the city hall last evening. The hearing opened promptly at 8 o'clock, with Judge Lynde Harrison, chairman of the committee, presiding. The doors of the room were closed by the police officers as soon as all the seats had been taken, thus preventing such crowding of the room as occurred lat the last hearing. A number of the audience present had been asked to -ap- pear as witnesses.
 Judge Harrison stated that the pro- ceedings would follow the same course as at the last hearing, and called upon Clarence Denaing to continue the testi- mony he gave last week. An attempt was made by Anthony Carroll to enter the same protest against the proceed ings as he tried to enter at the last hearing. MT. Carroll handed the chair man his protest in writing, and also a communication from himself, and start ed to explain his protest verbally The chairman ruled that he had no right to continue his remarks at that time, and asked MT. Carroll to be seated and cease interrupting the proceedings. The gentleman complied with the request, and, with one exception, remained quiet during the meeting.
 MT. Deming said that there was a slight error in the statistics he present. ed last week in reference to the disre- |gard by the police commissioners of the passing marks of those passing the |civil service examinations. He would amend them by adding the case of the appointment of John J. Maloy as pa- trolman on March 15 1904. Maloy had previously been a supernumerary off, cer for seven years, having passed the examination under the old commission board with mark of 53 on scale of 100. Since that time the passing mark had been raised by the examiners from 50 to 70 per cent. Witness stated that the board had violated the spirit of the civil service system by appointing a. man with the lowest passing mark over sixty-five eligibles with higher marks. Witness did not know as to the legality of the appointment, since he had passed the examination according to the old standard of marking, but his mark had been lower than the passing mark ac- cording to the new standard. Witness stated that the appointment of Maloy was further proof of his former testi- mony that the spirit of the civil service had been violated by the police commits sioners.
 On cross-examination by Attorney Gum, who has been retained by the police board, MT. Deming stated that he did not know whether Maloy was the best or the worst patrolman on the force. MT. Gum asked: If Maloy was " |TS---- 4s----- i = rri-i---S

CoRONER,s HEARING.
Startling Evidence-RefusaI to Testify
 --Death List Now s45.


 New York, June 2t-Evidence of a startling nature, which doubtless will have an important bearing on the ul- innate result of the coroner's inquiry Unto the General Sloeum disaster, was forthcoming at the inquest to-day Perhaps the most unexpected incl dent was the continued refusal to an- Iswer questions of Henry Lundeberg, a United States steamboat inspector, who was supposed to have inspected the life preservers and the hull of the ill., | fated steamer. His refusal was based on the ground that an answer might tend to incriminate him, and he acted on the advice of his counsel. | The coroner committed Lundeberg to the house of detention, but latter ac- cepted $500 bail for his appearance at | the hearing tomorrow which was sat- 1 isfactory to the assistant district at 1 torney.
 | Second Pilot Weaver, of the General
 Slocum, testified that he had purchased the fire hose for the boat, and MT. Gar van introduced evidence to show that I the price paid was forty cents foot | less sixty per cent. or sixteen cents per foot net.
 I Don't you know that you can't buy
 good fire hose for less than a dollar or
 Q dollar and half foot?'
 1 T don't know anything about the
 price of hose" responded Weaver. | Weaver also declared that there had
 been no fire drill on the Slocum this
 year.
 | Daniel O'Neill, who, according to his sworn statement had never worked on
 a boat until he was hired on the Slo- cum short time ago, admitted that he | became frightened after the fire had
 gained great headway, and had jumped 1 into rowboat filled with people from ithe Slocum, capsizing it. Asked if he saved any one fTe said there were oth- CTS there doing that and he was not an expert swimmer. He swan ashore him. self, however. O'Neill declared he
 never saw fire drill on the boat. If there had been one would have been ! in it." he added.
 | Miss L. c. Hall, bookkeeper for the hHlCk'ST DOCkeT SlecIn DOaC company, I told of erasures she had made with acid on certain bills and the substitu- ltion of the name General Slocum" for Grand Republic" After various ex- plantations had been made by Miss
 Hall as to the reason for this, MT. Gar Ivan asked her to say when the erasures were made. The witness was uncertain
 as to the date, but denied they were
 made within a month. She used acid, she said, because that had been her
 custom, and she had substituted the name General Slocum" for ''conven- Iience."
 1 By the use of dynamite and heavy | guns fired by men from the Second battery, scores of bodies were brought | up from the shores of North Brother
 Island to-day. From sunrise to sunset
 the searchers along the beach and in
 the boats gathered in 112, bringing the number of bodies recovered to date up
 to the appalling total of S45. Of these 700 have been identified and
