A Rough Game.
Especial to the Palladium. J

Anderson, December 12.-In a
rough and scrappy game here to-
night which was characterized
throughout by fights, Anderson de-
feated Richmond, to 4. Lyons, who
jumped from indianapolis today was
at center for Anderson and played
fair game although there is room
for considerable improvement. In
the second period Of the game Do
herty was penalized three times for
rough tactics. In the third period
Jessup and Mercer came to blows
and clinched. 1t took the combined
efforts of the members of both teams
to separate them and Referee Arun-
del ordered them from the floor.
They left the floor together, but as
soon as they had gotten off they
clinched again and were separated
by the police before any damage was
done. After this mixup Cunning
ham, ST., went to goal, Doherty to
center and Paddy Moran to half
back. Wodtke took Mercer's place
at. first rush and Miller relieved
Wodtke. Cunningham did not have
stop after he went in front of the
cage.

has seen real fighting in front Of
Port Arthur at the beginning of the
campaign. But in spite of all his
honors the prince is said to be man
of democratic demeanor, dearly loved
by his people.
Standards of democracy have ever
been variable, however, and it is not
ed that this democratic prince has
in his suite a count, lieutenant col
onel, a master of ceremonies, a re-
tainer Of the imperial household, an
attendant physician and more secre-
taries than Caesar could keep busy.
After leaving Washington this
prince of purely Jeffersonian princi-
pies will go to ST. Louis. What ca
pacity and titles he will wear while
there are not stated.
Like the great ma jority of his fell
low countrymen, the prince is of
small physique. and has heavy,
though pleasant features. What the
nature of his mission to Washington
is has not been made known, but that
is had to do with the Russo-Japanese
war there can be no doubt.
This is the princes second visit to
America, he having toured the United
States in 1884.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-With
honors due to his rank Prince Sada-
nura of the japanese imperial house
of Fushimi was formally received by
the president at the White House at
10 o'clock this morning. The dis
tinguished visitor delivered to the
president a personal message Of good
will from the emperor of Japan, his
half-brother. After the ceremony he
called at the state department to pay
his respects. Later in the day he
exchanged visits with the ambassa-
dor.
At o'clock this afternoon the
president returned the princes visit,
visiting him at the Arlington hotel.
Tonight the prince is to dine at the
White House. The Russian ambassa-
dor will not take part in any of the
ceremonies connected with the
princes visit.
A prince of Japan, real live prince
of the royal blood, has arrived in
America.
Prince Fushimi is his name and
ne IS the adopted brother of the en-
peror of japan, a general in the army,
a diplomat and a special envoy. He

So long as heroic deeds and great
sacrifice, indomitable courage, forth
tude and tenacity are honored and
revered, recorded in story and song
and written upon the enduring pages
Of immortal fame, so long will the
scenes that have been enacted at
Port Arthur be mentioned as one of
the events in military history.
1t will take It's place among the
annals of war, either mythical or
historical, which give an account
of the prolonged and bitter sieges of
Troy, Babylon, Carthage, Jerusalem,
Constantinople, Sevastopol, Plevna,
Vicksburg, Richmond. Metz, Paris,
and in some respects for surpasses
in tenacity of endurance that OF any
that has preceded 1t, for never has
a garrison been under such pro-
longed fire of the most destructive
engines of war from land batteries
and battleships.
1t has been attacked by n most
powerful army. skillfully handled.
The attacking force has manifested
all the courage that Christians or
pagans possess. Their discipline
and loyalty to the oldest dynasty Of
the world has only been equaled by
their blind fanaticism.
On the other hand, the fortitude
of the Russian garrison will ever be
one of the glories Of that race and
nation.
Much depends upon the skin and
character of the commander. Btoes-
sci appears to be the man most suit
ed to the hour. He has written his
name high UP on the scroll of fame.
He has inspired his command with
his own undaunted spirit.
How much longer 1t can endure, it
is impossible to anticipate. Sum-
moned many times to surrender, an
equal number of times 1t has defed
the elements Of death.
There must, however. be an end to
it's endurance. If that garrison shall
be massacred a. the close Of that
long and desperate struggle,as there
is a chance that 1t may. 1t will be
blot upon the record of their con-
querors. How long it will take Rus
STA to retake Port Arthur is a still
more serious problem.
The general results of the cam
paign thus far have given the ad-
vantage of position to the Japanese.

There is no more representatively
cosmopolitan meeting place in city
than the street car. In no other place
can as many kinds of human nature
be seen. The following incident IL
lustrate this:
While the young couple on the
Union Park car was discussing do
mestic problems, the baby, sitting on
its mothers lap, was coquetting with
everybody In the car. And everybody
save one-was coquetting with the
baby. 1t was a gay Irritation in which
the washerwoman with the basket
of clothes, the old gentleman who
was reading the financial column, the
exquisite with the balloon trousers.
and the drunken man took part.
The only one who didn't appear in
terested was dried-up middle-aged
man, with bachelor written all over
him, who sat next to the baby's
mother. He was reading a magazine.
The baby's chubby hand clutched the
