A Description of the Bat
 ting About Port Arthur
WILL BE NO SURRENDER
Prince RadziVii Says the Garrison Is We'll Supplied With Ammunition and ProvisiOns-A Partly Authenti- cated Story of the Killing of NOgi.

Chefoo, Sept. IS, midnight.-Local students of the military situation at Port Arthur, basing their deductions upon recent developments there, are of the opinion that another general as sault is either occurring at the pres ent time or is imminent. This opinion is based on the very heavy lombard ment of the Russian stronghold that occurred on Sept. Is, for such a bom- bardment forms the usual prelude to an assault; on the arrival here of inn portant messengers from Port Arthur at a time when the running of the blockade is extremely perilous; on the recent authoritative statement that the Japanese siege works are completed. and on reports from Japanese sources that at Port Dalny an assault is ex- pected to take place in a few days These reports were received last week
 In addition to the foregoing, there is common knowledge tt at the Japanese realize that their continued inactivity increases the resisting power of the Russian garrison and their consequent desire to make such a period of inac- tivity as brief as possible.

The Most Famous Son of
 the Iron Chancellor
HIS POLITICAL CAREER
Suffered With the Fall of His Father From the EmperOr's FaVOr-An In- cident Which Nearly Wrecked His Fortunes Earlier.

F'riedrichsruhe, Sept. 1S.-Prince Herbert Bismarck died peacefully at 10:15 o'clock this morning.
 Since he ceased to be foreign minister on the retirement of his father in 1880, Prince Bismarck has taken part in public aaffirs only as a member of the Reichstag. His attitude has been more that of a man not appreciated by his sovereign and who was waiting in the background for an opportunity to re- sume his career.
 His delivery as parliamentary speak CT improved year by year. He always declined to join any political group, steaGfaStly calling himself indepead- ent. His naughty and imperious man. nners in early life when he was ever conscious of the fact that he was the son of the most powerful statesman in \EurOpe, sCftened in later life.
 Prince Bisraarcks father trained him for his successor as chancellor of the German empire and advanced him rap idly in the diplomatic service until at the age of forty he was minister of foreign affairs. in which position he took part in nearly every important international transaction.
 An incident that nearly wrecked Prince Herbert's career and that caus- ed the old chancellor great annoyance was Prince (then Count) Herbert's elopement with Princess Carolath Beu- then, wife of Prince Karl. head of a distinguished Silesian house The prince was of the Hatzfeldt family and young Bismarck at that time was his fathers private secretary. Count Her bert lived with the princess in south ern Italy for a few weeks and then at the command of his father, returned to Germany. The princess was divorced and has since died.
 The title of Prince Bismarck and the large fortune of the deceased will go to his seven year old son Otto.
 The late Emperor Frederick gave to Chancellor Bismarck the extensive for est at Friederichsruhe which has since increased in value, and the chancellor gave to Prince Herbert S2, 400, GOO in se- curities and cash. The estate is now estimated to be worth s4,00O, GOO exclu- sive Of lands.
 The cause of death was cancer of the stomach of which the prince had suf- fered for a long time. It had been real ized for months that he could not long survive and within the last two weeks death has been at all times regarded as imminent. The latter hours of the prince were softened by the almost con- stant administration of opiates. Prince Herbert was born December 2S, 1S49.

KANSAS CITY MARKETS
A Review of Prices and Conditions of
 the Past Week.

Kansas City. Mo, Sept. 1S.-The cat tie market last week started out under the influence of a run of 23, 1000 head, largest of the season. Prices we're steady to 10 cents lower. A supply of 10000 yesterday sold at very nearly steady prices, except stockers and feed CTS, and the killing cattle in the supply of 15,G00 today sold steady to 10 cents higher. Stockers and feeders are 10 to 20 cents lower this week. most loss on stock cattle. Prime beef steers sold at $6.1O yesterday, the highest prices for more than a month. Packers are oper- ating their plants to fuller capacity since the settlement of the strike, and canning cattle move more freely, but not much gain in price. Grass steers sell at S5.50 to s4.75, and she stuff at $2.25 to $3.75 for that above canners. Veal calves are 50 cents cheaper, and bring up to $5.5O. Of course, nearly half or the cattle now coming are stock CTS and feeders, and there is always more or less delay in getting this stuff out of the yards, even with a very good demand. Inquiry this week has been only moderate, so there is quite an ae- cumulation of country grades of cattle on hands, and liberal concessions can be secured in many cases. Range of prices for most sales of this class is S2.75 to S3.75, and some very good cat tie can be procured within these limits. The market, however, is keyed up to take care of large runs. and prices are expected to show but little change ili the near future.
 Hog receipts are light at all points, land prices are going upward. Top prices yesterday was S5.75, bulk of sales, s5.6O to S5.7O the highest market since last October, and only a little be- low prices at this time last year. Ned ium and light hogs still command best prices, but heavy hogs are not more than cents below the others. It looks like good prices should rule for the present.
 Sheep markets have been steady to strong, and active, except that lambs were 10 cents lower on Saturday. Best native lambs bring $5.5O, westerns s5.- 50, western yearlings, $3.6O to s4.OO, western mixed sheep up to sS.70 straight western ewes S3.5O. native ewes up to $3.75. A good many orders for feeding stuff are being filled from the liberal runs of westerns, and pri- ces on such are strong at S325 to s3.- 75

sAVAeERY AT PORT ARTHUR.
Both Russians and Japanese Have Be.
 come Barbarians.

ChefOo, Sept. 1S.-According to Lieu tenant Prince Radzivil of the Russian army who reported here today from Port Arthur bearing dispatches from Lieutenant General StoesseI. command CT in chief of the forces of the Russian stronghold, to General k uropatkin. the temper of the belligerents at Port Ar thur has reached an absolutely merci- less stage.
 Prince RadZivil served with the Brit ish in the BOer war and he says until he became aware of the state of affairs at Port Arthur he had no idea that war could be so horrible It was set forth in these dispatches some weeks ago that there was suspicion by both belligerents that the other was misus- ing the Red Cross flag These suspi- eions have Teen increased by the com mission Of various acts by the soldiers of both armies until now even flags of truce or surrender are not respect cd by either side.
 Prince RadziviI declares that the men of both armies are absolutely venom ous in their antagonism. Lieutenant General StOessel has addressed his gar rison saying that the mood of the Jap anese indicates clearly the necessity of resisting them until the last Russians S blood is spilled, because if the Japanese soldiers entered the fortress, it un- doubtedly would be impossible for their officers to control them and prevent a massacre. For this reason General Stoessel is making no objection to civil ians leaving Port Arthur. When three hundred women who are in Port Ar thur engaged in hospital work were ad- vised to leave they replied that they would rather face the possibility of q massacre than to desert their posts.
 In consequence of the fact that flags of truce are ignored, numerous of the Japanese dead which have been lying on the slopes of the hills of the north east defenses for weeks past, are still unburied and the stench from the de- composed bodies when the winds are in the right direction is almost unendura- ble. Russian soldiers. who in some eases are posted only fifty feet from heaps of the decaying dead. have con- stantly to wear over their noses hand kerchiefs soaked in camphor. as oth- erwise they would be unable to remain at their posts.
 In the course of the assaults which took place in the four last days of Au- gust, two companies of Japanese sol diers, according to Prince RadzivfI found themselves at the mercy of the Russians and hoisted a white flag. To this, however. the Russians paid no at tention, and fired volIey rapidly into the helpless ranks of the enemy. In the meantime the Japanese troops in the rear of the companies that had raised the white flag, saw what their comrades had done, expressed their

Judge Barnes of Tucson
 Has a Change of Heart
TURNS TO REPUBLICANISM
The St. Louis GlObe.DemOcrat Yes- terday Printed a 5000 Word Inter- view With Him in Which He Tells Why He Left His Party of Lifetime

St. Louis, Sept. 1S.-(SpeciaD.- The Globe Democrat this morning publish ed 5000 word interview with Judge William H. Barnes of Arizona, who comes out for Roosevelt and gives his reasons therefor. Judge Barnes is a life long democrat, was appointed by President Cleveland a member of the Arizona supreme court and is now gen eral counsel for the Greene Consolidat- ed Copper company. The chief reason he gives for making the political change is that he believes the policies of the republican party are better for the country than the programme of the democratic party which really promises nothing beneficial
 The republican party, Ee says, is a party of action and accomplishment. The United States has grown great un- der it's administration and Judge Barnes says that if any of the policies by which it has attained greatness had not been carried out its growth and prosperity would have been retarded. He believes that further prosperity depends upon the retent; on of the republican party in power.
 Speaking of safe and sane democ- racy, Judge Barnes says that while it is an improvement upon Bryanism and populism, it offers to the country no reason why there should be a change of administration. There is nothing in the St Louis platform, nothing in the speech of acceptance of Judge Parker to attract the independent voter, the businessman, the laborer or any other class O. voters.
 Judge Barnes pays glowing tribute to President Roosevelt and especially comments him for hi| stand in the matter of reclamatioD. of the arid lands

disapproval of the surrender by firing into their rear. As results of the fire from friend and foe 600 men were an- initiated. The dead fell among the de- composing bodies of the previous as saults.
 For days afterward the wounded men in this area raised fiuttering handker- chiefs in their hands in plea for help, but the Russians were afraid to ven 'ture out to give succor. Within a week the last of this stricken force had made it's last unregarded prayer for help and the shambles were a quiet but ghastly field of horror Among the heaps of dead the prince saw two sol- diers, one a Russian and the other a Japanese, lying locked in q death em- brace. The teeth of the Japanese were sunk in the Russians throat while the Russian had forced two of his fingers into the eyes of his antagonist" The prince cited this as merely an icident denOting the ferocity of the conflict before Port Arthur.
 ''The garrison" he says, "is main taining strong and devoted martial spirit and has great faith in General Stoessel, who is cheered by the men when he rides along the lines"
 Prince Radzivil gives another yer sion, from hearsay. concerning the two companies of Japanese troops that surrendered. According to this yer . sion, Japanese battery fired on the two companies when the white flag was raised, whereuDon the two com panies turned and charged battery. According to this same versoin General Nogi, who happened to be in that vii cinity, was killed in this charge of his own men. as were several of the Jap anese gunners.
 Persistent Chinese reports have been received here lately to the effct that a successor to General Nogi has arrived at Port Dalny but this is denied by local Japanese.
 In an interview with the Associated Press correspondent the prince said: Stories if circulation concerning the shortage of ammunition and provisions at Port Arthur are net true. There is an abundance of ammunition for both large and small arms and plenty of preserved food.
 T left General Stoessel in the best of spirits. He is encouraged by the he roic example set by the wounded men, of whom 5000 out of the original S.OOO in the hospital have returned to the front.
 There has been no fighting since Sept. l, with the exception of artillery and outpost exchanges. Japanese shells, however, have done great dam age to the hospital and other buildings in Port Arthur, but the logs of life from these bombardments has been very slight"
