Indianapolis, Ind, June %. - The
Indianapolis News has received spec
ial cable from Hector Fuller, its spec
ial correspondent at Chefoo, giving the
following account of his release from
Port Arthur and the situation inside
the besieged fortress:
"Chefoo-After spending five days
i'll a Russian prison, was released and
put on board Chinese junk and sent
to this place.
THE stories of starvation Port Ar
thur, spread by the japanese, are I'M
true, as stores and supplies are con-
stantly arriving at the besieged city
from Chinese ports. The Japanese
blockade is ineffective.
''The garriosn consists of between
$4,000 and 10000 troops, and the
health of both soldiers mad civilians is
good. The damaged battleships have
been repaired and the harbor entrance
cleared of distractions. Immense new
forts have been constructed, and, in
my opinion, the lpace is IN no immed-
late danger of falling into the hands of
the Japanese.
THE Japanese attack by land made
on the 9th instnat was easily repulsed.
1 was the first correspondent to report
the blockade.
Mr.. Fuller was rowed across to Port
Arthur from the Miaouto islands by
two Chinese in an open boat, and was,
on landing, June 10, seized, blindfold-
ed and thrown into prison inside the
fortress, as was announced at the time
by the Associated Press.

Nelson, b. c. June Gle. A. Hall,
engineer of the Slocum freight train be
gan whistilng for brakes as he ap-
preached SLOGAN Junction. The air
was applied and the train stopped. The
conductor asked Hall why he stopped,
and he replied by saying that he would
get the train through faster than ever
train went before. The fireman
jumped from the cab and said Hall
was raving maniac; that he had been
shoveling coal into the furnace like
fury. The engineer was overpowered
and kept IN the caboose until Nelson
was reached. 1t took four men to take
him to the police station.

Newchwang, June 2l.-A Russian
officer who was wounded in the battle
Of Vafangow, told an Associated Press
correspondent that the losses on both
disc were severe. He places the Rus
sian casualties at least at 1000. He
says no soldier in the world could with
stand the japanese as they have been
fighting lately. Their artillery fire, he
claims, is marvelously effective. The
Russians fought stubbornly, desperate
ly, but were unable to Withstand the
enemy's dashing persistency.

their desire to select him for sooona

commlttal, as usual, his position hot.
that the nomination can naitbon
sought or refused.
The knowledge that he will NOT -
fuse has largely increased tho MO-
poets of his nomination.
The movement today for Ranro.ou
tatlVe Hit seems to have been promnt
ed to some extent by those who fol,
that Senator Fairbanks should mako =
declaration. Then again the Illinois
men feel that in view of the action ~
their state convention they must make
an earnest effort for Mr. Hit.
1t is fact, however, that the recert
illness of Mr.. Hit has dampened the
ardor of his supporters, who ac
knowledge that they will work to his
disadvantage.
Two active vice presidential possi
bilities were about the Auditorium
corridors during the evening. .Iohr
Lee Webster of Nebraska and John
w. Springer of Colorado.
Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts ar.
rived with draft of the platform in
his pocket. He was notified that he
will be recognized to move the an.
polntment of the committee on reso.
lutions and this means his election
as chairman of the committee. All
interest in the platform centers in the
tariff plank and the sentiment is that
there will be straight declaration for
protection without promises for fut.
ure tariff revision or reciprocity.
Senator Hansbrough has a draft Of
resolution promising both, but it met
with little favor among the repub
can leaders. The North Dakota sena
tor will be a member of the commit
tee on resolutions and will urge the
adoption of the resolution he has pre-,
pared. He thinks the committee will
hesitate before voting down such
resolution when offered.
Senator Addison of Iowa has been
consulted regarding the tariff plank
ard has advised against making any
pledges for future action.
1t is also understood that such
course will suit the president.
There is no doubt expressed about
the selection of Secretary Cortelyou
for chairman of the national commit
tee, although many men prominent in
the party are found who do not hest
tate to privately express some dis
appointment that a more experienced
politician was not chosen.

Minneapolis, Mimi June 22.-In a
motely group of swarhy foreigners at
the Union station today were five Rus
sian peasants in racteristic peasant
dress, bound, with Others who came in
on morning trains from the east, for
North Dakota, Monana and Canadian
piotns.
Recent tains brought in many poor
fore igners, all of whom were broght to
the United States on rates made cheap
by the present Atlantic steamship war.
The northern European countries
seem to have furnished a majority of
the newcomers. Those who arrived in
st. Paul are of the poorest classes, per-
haps not so poor as oilers in their own
lands, but much more povertystricken
than even the average run of foreign
settlers who come through the st. Paul
gateway.
Thousands of such people have been
dumped into New York by the steam
ship lines, having been brought over
like cattle at $40 or less a head, TO
sink or swim in the new world. Here
and there was one who could speak a
word of English The remainder re-
lied solely upon the depot immigrant
agent as interpreter and guide to care
for them in strange country where
| there are few of their like.

Miss Elizabeth Howe of Pittsburg, one
of the wealthiest Of the city's wealthy
young women Some months ago this
wedding was announced, but for some
reason not then explained, it did not take
place, the understanding being that all
was off. Now it has been announced
again, and gossips are busy. The Pitts
burg girl out of her vast estate has
agreed to pay all the debts OF the count,
providing they do not run over $4,000,
and to guarantee him $4,000 a year for
life. About a month ago there was a
bitter setto when the count came to
Pittsburg. Like others of the nobility
coming here for rich wife, Count Cini
was broke and heavily in debt. He ask
ed that $4,000 be handed to him with
which to settle his debts and also that
he be given $4,000 per year for life.
This the Pittsburg girl and her relatives
refused to think of, and in a rage Count
Cini went to Canada. Lately, however,
another statement was issued, and the
count decided that he might worry along
with his creditors on $4,000 in hand
and a life annuity of $4,000. This was
agreed to and they will wed in London.

WAR FOR THE WEEK.
LITTLE INFORMATION FROM THE
FAR EAST.
Great Port Arthur Fortress Remains
Unconquered ssapping and Mining
Now Taking Place of Direct Assaults
s--Sfoessel Believed to Be in Distress.

The lack Of information from jap
Port Arthur is sufficient evidence thar
the great fortresses are still uncon-
querabIe, and that further sapping
and mining by the besiegers has taken
the place of direct assaults. There
have been neither official nor semi
official statements from Toxic, nor
censored dispatches from General
Nogfs headquarters, which bring in
formation down later than Nov. Z. At
that time the japanese were retaining
the Keekwan moat, but were suffering
heavily from Russian fire.
On the other hand, it is clear that if
General Stoessel had had any success
i'll driving the japanese out of posi-
tons they won in attacks at the end
of October we would have heard of il.
The arrival of the Russian torpedo
boat destroyer Rastoropny at Chefoo
was the event of the week, but, what
ever dispatches it may have brought,
the authorities at St Petersburg have
not seen fit to make public any con-
tanning facts of later date than Nov
The RastOropny was sunk by The
Russians themselves, and such sac
rifice of valuable vessel justified the
inference that its mission had been
one of the gravest Importance. 1t was
natural to think that General Stoessel
was asking the Gar for permission to
surrender. At st. Petersburg it is in
sisted, however, that General Stoessel

New York the Day Before Election.
Never before was there such betting
on the day preceding election as there
was in New York Monday. The total

on Wall street the amount put up was
more than 100000
There seemed to he 20 end of money
in the hands of those anxious to back
Roosevelt at almost any odds. The pre-
vaiIing figures were to j and to i.
On Herrick the odds ranged at about 2
to l. Thousands of dollars were wag-
cred that Roosevelt would carry the State
of New York, the odds being to ].
Plenty of money was covered even that
Roosevelt would have 10000 plurality in
the State.
That tLe election does not always go
with the odds has been repeatedly dem
onstrated In 1884 the odds ranged from
5 to / to 10 to on Blaine, but Cleveland
was elected In 1883 the odds were 2
to in favor of Cleveland, but Harrison
was elected In 1892, when Cleveland
was elected, the bets were even. Dur
ing the 1896 and 1900 campaigns the
odds were in favor of Mckinley.

ROOSEVELT SAYS GUARD HOME.
Makes Address at Washington Catho-
lie Church Anniversary,

Makes Address at Washington Catho-
lie Church Anniversary.
Speaking at the 10th anniversary of
the founding of St Patrick's church in
Washington President Roosevelt said:
''While in this country we need wise
laws, honestly and fearlessly executed
and while we cannot afford to tolerate
anything but the highest standard in
public service of the government, yet
in the last analysis the future of the
country must depend upon the quality
of the individual home, of the individual
man or woman in that home.
''We have grown to accept it as an
automatic truth of our American life that
the man is to be treated on his worth as
a man, without regard to the accidents
of his position that this is not gov
eminent designed to favor the rich man
as such, or the poor as such, but that it
is designed to favor every man, rich or
poor, if he is a decent man, who acts
fairly by his fellows.
''The field for charitable, philanthrOpic,
religious work is wide and that while
corner of it remains untitled we do
dreadful wrong if we fail to welcome the
work done in that field by every man, no
matter what his creed, provided only
he works with a lofty sense of his duty
to God and his duty to his neighbor."
