READY SURRENDER
SOLDIERS AT PORT ARTHUR
HAVE HAD ENOUGH.
But General stoessei, Though Confined
to Hospital, Issues Orders to Men
to Die at Posts Rather Than
Surrender.

Latest advices from Port Arthur are
to the effect that wound received by
General Stoessel has necessitated his
confinement In the hospital, that he re-
fuses to relinquish the command OF
the garrison, and that he has issued or.
ders to the troops to die at their posts
rather than surrender.
1t is said that the spirit Of the Rus
sian troops has been dampened by con-
tinuous work, the lack of supplies and
the hopelessness of their ability to
make any successful defense OF the
fortress.
1t is said further that many of the
Russian soldiers are ready to surren-
der, but that they are kept at their
posts by officers, who threaten them
with revolvers, and that several sol
diers who were suspected of a desire
10 desert have been shot as a warning
to other would-be deserters.
The Japanese now believe that the
garrison has almost reached the limit
OF human endurance.
Spies and Russians who have sur.
rendered report that rations in the
fortress have been reduced. The
wounded found by the Japanese are
emaciated.
Russian artillery shells partly filed
with wood and which would not ex-
piode have been found. This shows
mat tne Russians are short of material
Tor making heavy ammunition.
Inc capture of the eastern fortified
ridge will mean the surrender of the
fortress in couple of weeks, unless
the garrison there retires to the iso-
lated fort. This seems improbable
however, and cold weather and the
lack or food and ammunition render
desperate resistance unlikely.

congress until the subject has been

friends. The president is not bound bv
any preconceived views on the sub.
)ect, and is open to conviction as to the
most desirable course to pursue. He
is not inclined TO favor an extraordi-

taxing up the tariff or any other suh-
Ject, but 1t is said to be too early vat

liberated would not only carry its own
but also a copy Of messages sent by
the birds first liberated II must be
understood that the flight Of the pigeon
would be seriously Impeded were II to
be burdened with any great weight,
and consequently dispatches are writ
ten on speciallyprepared slips of rice
paper. These. contrary to the general
impression, are not tied round the
birds neck, but are rolled and placed
in a celluloId holder. fastened by two
clips to the birds leg. and are thus
carried close under the tail OF the bird
when 1t is in flight The total weight
Of this carrier. which is manufactured
by a Belgian firm, is under four
grammes.
The speed Of the pigeon is another
point which may be easily misunder-
stood. Although it is true under GER
tain circumstances pigeon will fly
200 yards per minute. or nearly
80 miles per hour. yet this is only
accomplished under exceptionally IA
yorabIe conditions: 400 yards per
minute, or fifty miles per hour. being
a fairer average. This. however. must
not be taken to mean that the pigeon
normally flies the distance between
two places fifty miles apart in an
hour. as owing to its not fiy1ng in an
absolutely straight line It would prob
ably take seventy-five minutes TO ac-
complish the distance. For this reason
forty miles per hour is the speed usual
ly credited to the birds. Distances up
to 300 miles 1t would cover at the
"a me rate, but above that the average
would often be much lower. owing to
the birds not being able to fly after
dark. Whenever possible they are

Russia has long established military
lofts at her fortified towns in Man
ehuria. and has more recently accept
fanciers TO organize a service OF these
birds in outlying districts This last
move on her part has already borne
fruit, messages having been carried
out Of beleagured Port Arthur by
these birds. The Russians were en-
abled to accomplish this owing to their
having previously collected the pigeons
from outside lofts and stored them
within their stronghold, to be liberated
as occasion reqdired. Birds from the
Port Arthur lofts were at the same
time taken out OF the port. and thus
the Desieged city will be kept In
formed of events happening outside.
With a far-seeing forethought, the
necessity of which is only now appar-
ent. the Japs some five years ago es-
tablished their military and naval
lofts. and by repeated experiments
since then they have organized a sys-
TEN calculated to bring forth the high
est qualities Of the pigeons with which
their lofts were stocked.
With an army on the march the use
Of pigeons as messengers has so far
proved a failure, all experiments to
get these birds to return TO loft con-
tinually on the move having been void |
of success. Japan has, however, with |
the tenacity of purpose for which she |
il famous, scored success with /
travelling lofts, Of which the ilustra-
ton will give a general idea. Such /
lofts are stocked with birds as soon as
they are old enough to leave the nest,
and the birds are kept confined with
il. il until required for use The whole
loft is then transferred to the military
base, or temporary post near the scene
vf operations. and the birds, then sew
eral months old, are given their liberty
for the first time. Not having flown
to another locality, they quickly settle
down to their new surroundings. and
in few days are familiar with the
for miles around. Every
is seized to give them
additional experience before being
Ictually used in the service, and to
