STILL EXPECTING
GARRISON TO HOLD.

st. Petersburg. Dec. 1S.-Gen. Stoes-
sells latest dispatches from Port Ar
thur were published to-day, but as
given out do not carry the story Of
the garrison's stubborn defense beyond
Dec. 10. thus leaving a gap of at least
five days between the official word of
the military commander and the un-
official story Of Commander Mizzeneff,
which was given out at Che Foo. II
Is not pretended that the dispatches
are published In full.
The story of the operations, as far
as 1t has been given out, Is Intensely
interesting. and shows that there has
been an almost uninterrupted assault
or the most desperate character from
Nov. 20 to Dec. TO- when the Japan
ese, after losing over % 900 men, cap
tured 203 Metre Hill and were able
from that position to shell the squadron
In the Port Arthur roadstead. There
the official account ends: but IL is ex-
planned that the japanese do not &C.
cupy the top Of the hill. which is still
exposed to a deadly fire from the Rus
sian artillery. The japanese are using
a plunging fire from very heavy guns
from behind the crest OF the hill, but
that this fire is efficiently directed is
shown by the damage suffered by the
Russian squadron.
The public reception of Gen. Stoes-
sePs dispatches as a whole Is not bad
The japanese so far have used every
device Of engineering skill in making
approaches, but with enormous sacri-
fees, have been able to take only the
outer line of defenses. II Is declared
the garrison probably will be able to
hold out a considerable time yet.

years old, an inmate of the Polytechnic

time Of his admission to the institu-
ton. Chapman lived as a recluse amid
valuable paintings of his own and a
quantity OF antique furniture in an

remote section OF Pelham, Bay Park.
Chapman was found Ill in the old man
sion.
After his removal to the hospital
g. young man named Eugene McClue

furniture from the house. This incl
dent brought to light the fact that

list and that at one time he was a
member of military staff of former
Gov. Wise OF Virginia.
When McClue was arraigned, Henry
Wise, a lawyer, appeared on behalf

says that he Is a grandson of the
former Virginia Governor upon whose
staff Chapman served. Many years

VOTED FOR ARBITRATION.
Textile Union Makes Recommends
ton to the Unions.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 1S.-The tex
tile council voted to-day to submit an
arbitration proposition for the settle
ment of the strike in the cotton mills
10 the individual unions, and in case
of their approval by a vote on Tues
day to ask the Civic Federation to
choose a board of arbitration.
The arbitration proposition was
agreed upon by the textile council at
three-hour session. when the follow
ing resolution. to be submitted to the
textile unions for their action, was
adopted:
Whereas, believing in the justice of
our cause and always favoring the
grand principles of fair arbitration,
and, whereas, realizing that a contin-
uance of the long and protracted strug-
gle is detrimental to the best inter-
ests of our city, be it
Resolved, that we submit the whole
proposition to the members of our
respective unions, it being identical
with the one submitted to the executive
council of the Cotton Manufacturers
Association. All efforts having failed
W GIl0Cl d satisfactory settlement or
the strike existing in our city, we
agree to submit the whole subject mat
ter in dispute to a board of arbitra-
ton to be chosen by the National
Civic Federation from its executive
board, and agree to accept their decis-
ion as final"
The Individual unions will meet to
act on the proposition at 1920 o'clock
Tuesday morning. A two-thirds vote
of the unions will be necessary to
adopt the resolution, but the labor
leaders say that it is hardly possible
that the members will reject it.
The leaders take the stand that they
are satisfied to submit the settlement
of the strike to arbitration and believe
that it will hurt the course of the man
ufacturers materially if they refuse to
accept the plan.
President Borden of the Manufac tur-
ers' Association was seen tonight and
said he did not know how the manu-
facturers would consider the PROPOSE
ton, and he did not know when the
manufacturers would meet.
The textile council will meet again
on Tuesday afternoon after the unions
have voted.
The strike, which is now entering
upon its twenty-second week, was call
ed when the manufacturers announced
a new wage scale reducing the in
come of operatives 1914 per cent. Thir-
ty-seven mills and nearly $4,000 en-
