FALL INEVITABLE.
Prediction of Japan's Special Envoy Re-
 garding Port Arthur.

Boston, Aug. 26,-The fall of Port Ar- thur is inevitable according to Baron Kantaro Kaneko, the special envoy of the mikado of Japan to this country, who is now visiting in Boston. Baron Kaneko added in a statement which he made to the press to-day that the cap ture of the fort was certain to come not only because the Japanese planned at the very outset of the campaign to spend, if necessary, from 10000 to 50,0OO men in it's capture, but because also the whole population of Japan regard it as "a point of national honor that the port should be retaken from the Russians and returned to the nation into whose possession it rightly came ten years ago." In closing, Baron Keneko said: From reliable source I have word that Port Arthur has not a building in 1t uninjured: that it is impossible to shelter the wounded: that the ammuni- tion is getting scarce. and that, with the Russian fleet scattered. the de- lenders are cut off from supplies of food as well as of ammunition. The blockade of Port Arthur by land and sea, from the surrounding world, is eff fective. The fortress cannot hold out more than a few days"

ALDERMEN FAIL TO

 tee Listen to Both sides-strike Prac-
 ticaIly over in Every Community Ex-
 cept in Chicago and Omaha.
 Chicago, Aug. 26.-The conference of the aldermanic committee appointed earlier in the week to attempt a set clement of the stock yards strike re- suited in nothing. There is no present that they will result in any thing in the future, and the chances of an agreement between the packers and the strikers appear very meagre. The strike leaders appeared before the conn mittee this morning and stated their side of the case.
 The representatives of the packers, T. J. Connors, Edward Tilden, Thomas T. Wilson and J. E. Maurer, then ap- peared before the committee and after q session that lasted three hours May or Harrison said:
 "The packers have said just what they said beforethat they are running their plants and have nothing to ar bitrate, and that there is no reason why they should confer with the men, 7
 Then it is all off?"
 That Is about what it amounts to-"
 .We heard a review of the entire strike trouble,' continued the mayor, and the packers say that in every community except Chicago and Omaha the strike is practically over, and they claim that with seventy-five per cent. of the men that they employed in Chi cago before the strike they are now turning out ninety-two per cent. of their normal output" <
 It was decided that the aldermanic committee shall assemble at 10 o'clock on Monday to meet the representatives of the strikers in order that the strik- CTS may teel of results obtained in a final effort for peace which they in- tend to make. This effort, the strike leaders say, will be made in general appeal to the packers for a conference.

U. s. ATTACKERS VIEWS.
Situation at Port Arthur Not So Bad as
 Supposed.

Paris, Aug. 26.-Raymond Recouly, correspondent Of the Temps at Liao- { yang, telegraphed as follows to his pa per yesterday evening: T was fortu- nate this morning to travel with an American naval attache (Iieutenant Newton A. McCully), who has just re- turned from Port Arthur after a so- joUrn there of three months The news he gives me is entirely different from the pessimistic reports current lately concerning the situation at the fortress. The American attache left the fortress August IA. The Japanese were then four and a half miles from the city. The Russian positions upon chain of rug ged hills 200 metres high were protected by trenches, mines, networks barbed wire and cannon and according to the American officer it was impossible to take them by assault. Japanese shells fell in the city but each position pos- seased dugout in Whic hthe occupants were able to secure shelter The Jap anese heavy guns ceased firing every night, fearing that tn Russians would detect their exact location by the flashes during the darkness.
 There were considerable stocks of provisions at Port Arthur. The Russian soldiers had fresh meat ration daily The stores were still open and the pop ulation promenaded the streets.
 "The regiments took turns in the trenches. The Russian sailors assisted in the defence of the fortress They made excellent sharp shooters.
 ''The American attache believes that the Japanese losses have been at least ten times those of the Russians.
 .'In short Port Arthur can hold out much longer than people believe.
 When the officer left Port Arthur, the French naval attache was still there"
 Another dispatch to the Temps from Liao Yang, dated yesterday, says that on the previous day the Japanese made a reconnaissance to within about twen- ty-five miles of Liao Yang. After an artillery and infantry engagement, the

AGAINST WAGGAMAM
Further Legal Action Brought by
 MaryIanders.

e. /
 Washington, Aug. 2e Further legal action against Thomas E. Waggaman, treasurer of the Catholic university, against whom bankruptcy proceedings recently were instituted to prevent his making the university a preferred cred Iitor, was taken to-day, when number Iof citizens of Maryland filed suit in equity asking for the appointment of a receiver for certain of his property. The compliments allege that they at various times placed in Mr. Wagga- mans hands certain money for invest |ment and received nothing in return, which caused him to become as to each of the compliments a trustee, and that he was bound to hold the notes for the benefit of the complainants. Believing. that MT. Waggaman was insolvent, the petitioners asked the court to remove him as trustee and to appoint receiv- CT to take charge of the notes, with the title deeds and other securities relating thereto.
 The Columbia National bank entered suit against Thomas F. Waggaman and John L. Waggaman, his son, now living lin California, on a demand note for $1O,- 700 held by the bank and the National Capital bank brought suit against John l.. Waggaman for twenty thousand dol- lars represented by two notes of eigh- teen thousand dollars and two thousand |dollars. Attorneys representing the two banks proceeded to levy attach ments on the property of John l.. Wag- gaman in the District. Marshal Par mer by virtue of the writs of attach- lnent took possession of the Hotel Lin- coin and some improved and unim- proved propedty. This action is taken under the secti0n of the code which aI- lows an attachment before judgment in a suit against nonresident defendant.

Two Men stabbed as Result of Its
 schemes.
 Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 26.-The Black Hand" of the Mafia society struck a blow of vengeance in Athens, Pa, to- night and two men are lying in the Robert Packer hospital at Sayre. They are Dominica Mostello and Giuseppe Scirona. Some time ago Mostello re- vealed to the Lehigh Valley railroad de- teetives the identity of the three mem- bers of the Mafia gang who held up a large number of Italians at Lake Carey and levied tribute on them. The three were arrested but it wa sinpossible to convict them, as Mostello and all the other Italians were afraid to testify against them in open court. Soon af- rewards two of the three men robbed Mostello of $100.
 Last night one of the three, said to be a member of the Mafia band of New York, at the head of a gang again at tackled Mostello and Scirona and rob- bed him, after which the .leader of the band deliberately shot Mostello twice and stabed him several times with 8 stilleto. The other was shot through the face. Mostello will probably die. Owing to the refusal of the Italians to give any information the police have been unable to make any arrests.

R. Miknatis of this city was made to-day by D. T. Callahan, a secret service man. Rocco A. Figlinolo, an interpreter employed by the departmental justice, was with Callahan when he made the arrest.

It is alleged that Miknatis swore falsely before the clerks of the courts here which grant the papers, and that he had secured a large number of certi- ficates from which he was able to make Ia good profit. Secret Agent Callahan and the interpreter have been in this city several days working on the case. coming here from New Haven, where long consultation was held with the federal authorities in that city.
 In some way not known to the fed eral authorities other papers have been granted and after all the necessary for malities were over were forwared to Haytien agents, who received in pay ment therefor large sums of money. It was oneof these papers issued from this city that led to the arrest in New York some time ago of Alexander Seferchak- an, a Haytien, who had with him nat uralization papers issued November 10. 1903 The holder could give no descrip- tion of this city, and he was arrested on suspicion.
 Another arrest that led the alithori- |ties to investigate the naturalization frauds was that in New York of Habar J. Afiak, a wealthy syrian merchant of Hayti, August 16 Papers were found on him when he landed from the Prince Wilhelm IT.
 Secret Service Agent Callahan, the Interpreter and the prisoner left this city for New York tonight, going to New Haven, where they boarded the i 9:10 train.
