Threatened, Succeeds Assas-
sin s Victim.

Helsingfors, Aug. IS. Prince

New York, Aug. 1S.-A copy Of the
complaint made by Benjamin 3.
Cdell, Jr., governor of the state ee
New York, in his suit for the recovery
Of money lost n the United States
Shipbuilding company has been made
public. The complaint deals with
matters which were left unexplained
by the compromise surrender OF
Charles N. Schwab and others in the
Samuel Untermyer proceedings last
winter.
The defendants in the suit not only
include Colonel John ]. McCook, Al
vim W. Krech, John w. Young, the
Mercantile Trust company and James
T. Boothroyd, but Charles Beatty
Alexander, head of the great law firm
Of Alexander & Green, and author of
the famous letters from Paris bearing
upon the French underwriting OF
shipbuilding bonds.
Governor Odell charges that the
statements made by the defendants to
him to the effect that there was to be
paid to the owners of the various con-
Germs and businesses selling out to the
combination the sum of $6,OOO,OOO III
cash, were fradulently made, in that
as was we'll known to the defendants,
it was understood and agreed between
the defendants and the vendors, that
of said $6,00O,000 in cash the sum OF
at least $2,346,O00 was to be retained
by or repaid to the defendants as
their secret and fraudulent profit:
and in fact was, upon the subsequent
requirement Of the properties by the
new company, retained or received by
the defendants.
The governor also charges that one
of the conditions of the underwriting
| agreement was that the agreement
should not be binding upon the sub.
scribers unless the entire amount OF
| 100000 Of bonds should be under
written, and that this statement was
| false in that the amount Of the exist.
| ing underwriting was stated to be the
entire amount of s9,O00,000, whereas
| the entire issue of 100000 of sale
| bonds had not been underwritten, but
as was we'll known to the defendants
not more than S3,000,000 of said is
sue had been underwritten.
Governor Odell then makes mos
serious charge against the Mercantile
Trust company, one of the largest ane
most highly respected financial insti
| buttons in the world, as follows:
That various of the undertakings con

tent Of over $5,O00,0o0 We're false ant

SENATOR HOAR NEARS
THE PORTALS OF DEATH

Worcester, Mass, Aug. 1S.-No
marked change was marked in the
condition of Senator Hoar this morn
ing. It is evident however, that he
is growing weaker constantly, altho he
may live twenty-four hours or pos
sibly longer.
The senator's mind is perfectly
clear and he thoroly realizes the seri-
BUSINESS of his condition. He awaits
the end with calm resignation. Yes
terday he talked with his son and
daughter and requested them to con-
vey farewell messages to near rela-
tives and intimate friends.
At noon Senator Hoar was resting
easily. He was still conscious and
during the forenoon had taken a little
LIQUID nourishment. There had been
however, no gain in strength, but
rather a slight increase of the weak
ness which developed yesterday.

REFUSES TO SURRENDER
Stoessel VIII Fight to the Last at
Port Arthur.

Toxic, Aug. IS. Noon.-Lieutenant
General Stoessel, in command at Port
Arthur, has refused to surrender and
has declined the offer by the Japan
csc of the removal of the non-com-
batants there. The reasons for this
latter action are not given, but it is
probable that the non-combatants are
unwilling to accept a favor at the
hands Of the Japanese. They confess,
however, that necessity for their re-
moVa1 exists. 1t is expected that the
Japanese attack will be resumed i'm
mediately. It now enters upon its
final stage.
London, Aug. 1S.-A dispatch to
the Japanese legation from Toxic an
nounces that reply was received
from the commander of the Russian
forces at Port Arthur yesterday, re-
fusing either to surrender to the be-
sieging force Of the Japanese or to
send out the non-combatants.
The Express correspondent at To-
k1o telegraphs:
II am informed, tho not officially,
that the Japanese commander outside
Port Arthur has received from the
Russian garrison a reply to the mi
kado's message to demand a surren-
der Of the city. The answer, while
thanking the Japanese commander in
non-combatants to leave, is an I'M
compromising refusal to surrender"
According to the correspondent Of
the Daily Telegraph at Chi-fu, refu-
gees arriving there brings news of a
serious condition of affairs at Port
Arthur. They say that Japanese shells
have ignited lighters in the docks
which contained supplies of coal, re-
sulting in terrific conflagration Many
of the buildings have been demolished
and the hospitals are crowded.
Final Assault Begins.
Chi-fu, Aug. 1S.-General Stoessel
has declined the invitation of the Jap
anese to surrender Port Arthur, ac-
cording to the refugees who arrived
here this morning. The Japanese at
once began g. final assault, In which
the fleet is cooperating.
The right wing of the Japanese line
has penetrated to the vicinity of
Pidgeon bay, while the center has
moved forward from Pa-ling- ching,
which is south of Shu-shi-yen and
two miles north of the town.

YANKEE WAR ENGINES
TO Be MORE DEADLY

Washington, Aug. 1s.-In the bu-
reau of ordnance, plans are being
drawn for the resighting of all the
guns in the navy. The rapid-fre guns
will be provided with new telescope
sight which will permit Of continu-
Gus aim.
The ships Of the battleship squad
ron are to be fitted with rangefnders

tested and found satisfactory.
Tests also have been ordered of a
new type of shell known as 'tracers,' .
which are used for night firing and
which are illuminated so that they
trace the course of the projectile and
enable the gunpointers to notice the
effect of the firing.

JAPS OFF SHANGHAI
Squadron Commander May Go In
After Russian Warships.

After Russian Warships.
New York Sun Special Service.
Shanghai, Aug. 18.-The COM
mander Of the Japanese squadron
watching off the coast at the river
mouth, twelve miles distant, intimates
that he intends to steam up here and
seize the Russian protected cruiser
Askold and torpedoboat destroyer
Grosovo1 unless those vessels leave
the port forthwith.
The Askold, badly damaged, is in
drydock, and repairs on her are being
rushed night and day. Her officers
say she will go to sea as soon as she
is fit to do so. The Grosovoi, grimy
after battle, but not much hurt, is
also being prepared for sea.
The Japanese consul at Shanghai
and some of his countrymen contend
that both vessels are seaworthy now,
and that the repairs" being made are
really to get them once more in con-
dition to fight. The drydock authori-
ties declare that the Askold is not sea-
worthy in her present condition, as
she leaks badly and several Of her
compartments are filled with water.
When Admiral Prince Outomsky,
who arrived on the Askold was di-
rected to leave port or disarm his
ships, he pointed to the case Of the
Russian torpedoboat destroyer Rye
harbor of Chi-fu last Thursday. dis
armed at the demand Of the Chinese
Admiral Sab, and was seized that
very night by Japanese ships which
sneaked into the harbor with their
lights out, and after a fight forced the
Ryeshitelni's crew overheard, then
towed the vessel away.
The Chinese authorities are con-
fused by the insistent representations
of both sides, and cannot make UP
their minds to adopt a decisive policy
and to enforce 1t.
1t is the opinion in consular and
other foreign quarters here that the
great powers should compel the OBJ
serving of neutrality in the treaty
ports, since China, bullied by both
belligerents, seems powerless to en-
force it.
Japs' Mood Not Gentle.

squadron is coming there in conse-

RUSSIANS TO GIVE BATTLE
Kuropatkin Says Combat Will Be Most
SanguinarY.

Paris, Aug. 18.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Matin says Kuro-
patkin has informed the car that the
forthcoming battle south of Liao-yang
will be of the, most desperate and
sanguinary character. This is taken
to indicate that the Russians have
abandoned their tactics of retreat.
1t Is reported that the Russian Ral-
tic fleet will be on it's way to the far
east before Sept. 1. Eleven trans
ports, laden with $4,000 tons of Eng
lish coal, have already sailed to take
up stations along the route that Is to
be followed by the fleet.

The republican state convention
in Sacramento this week was har-
monious throughout. 1t was per-
functory affair. There was no conten-
tion as to the choice for president,
and the delegates assembled to ratify
the wish of the party for the nomina-
tion of Theodore Roosevelt for pres
ident. Amador county expected to
get one of the delegates from the
first congressional district in the
person of E. G. VOORHEES, of Sutter
Greek. Before the convention as
sembled it was generally conceded
that he would be selected as the rep
resentative from the mining section.
An unwise and ill-timed effort was
made in a neighboring county TO ig-
more Humboldt, and monopolize the
delegation for the mining counties.
1t was intended principally to help
the Amador candidate. No doubt
Mr.. VOORHEES, was the first choice of
Calaveras as well as Amador. When
the convention assembled, ]. C. Bull
of Humboldt and G. Clinch of Nevada
were elected without a contest.
