WEST SCORES ANOTHER
VICTORY ON WALL STREET.


the feeling which prevails iu New York at
this second failure TO secure Philippine
bond issue. There are quite a number OF
Westerners In the city. 10 whom Mr. Tur-
ner is known, and they ali share with him
the enthusiasm over the victory OF the
West. To-day's transaction Is big thing
for that section as 1t shows beyond the
peradventure OF doubt the growing
power OF the West.
While 1t is realized that New York is
the place for handling the bonds. having
all the facilities for so doing, yet for the
West to get the prestige that goes with
so large q transaction Is a very consider
ablo achievement.
Mr.. Turner expects TO dispose OF the
entire issue IN New York and viii depart
for that city tonight. He stated to The
Republic to-day that the first man he
went 20 in New York offered to take a
half million of the certificates providing
he couldn't dispose Of them to one arm
Should he fail to dispose OF them in
New York. Mr.. Turner stated that a wes-
ern bank had promised TO take the entire
but It was inferred that he had reference
with the officers and directors OF which he
is well acquainted.
NATIVE OF MISSOURI.
Martin L. Turner is not a stranger to
st. Louisans, having spent many years in
that city, to which he went as a boy of
is from his fathers farm IN Greene Coun-
ty, Missouri, to get business start He is.
rSan Nj nj mr. nd
by his friends now in this city is consid-
cred a fine type Of the Western business
man. The unbounded confidence which led
him to take over the entire issue OF s. .o00-
COO Of Philippine certificates Is surely de-
cidedly Western product.
Mr. Turner has been a resident Of Okla
homa City for little more than five years
He first went to the Territory many years
ago and established a bank at Guthrie.
He was Territorial Treasurer during Cleye-
lands last administration.
He conducts a large bond business in
the Southwest and Is well and favorabIy
known throughout that section. He had
been spending some time at Narragansett
Pier with his family before coming to
Washington to be present at the opening
of the bids today.
Mr.. Turner is brimful Of enthusiasm over
the transaction. Owing to the big price
paid for the Issue. his profits will not be
exceptionally large. which however. IS a
secondary consideration. The prestige CIV
en- the West, and Oklahoma in particular,
Is OF far greater value.
It is believed here that to-day's trans
action will have weight in disposing of the
question of statehood for Okla ahoma. which
is 10 come up again next winter when Con-
gress convenes. 1t is expected to prove a
Strong argument.

DEFENDERS KEEP UP SPIRIT
IN SPITE OF CLOSE SIEGE;
WARSHIPS IN BAD SHAPE.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington. Aug. 22.-That the Port Ar
thur garrison continues 10 keep up its
spirit in spite of the increasing stringency
OF the siege is the tenor Of news received
in Washington from Chefoo.
Advices received presumably through the
United States Naval Attache who was
among those to leave the fortress most
recently are to the effect that there are
still three months provisions IN Port Ar
thur.
On their return to the harbor after the
last sortie and their engagement with Ad-
mirai Togos feet. the batt.eships were
found to be IN a deplorable condition.
Great damage was done both to their
machinery and guns. and the dockyard ar
tiflcers and equipment are hardly able to
make the necessary repairs. 1t Is. there
fore. doubtful, whether the battlcships can
be depended on to make a fresh sortie.
The cruiser Bayan. however is reported
to be in fair condition, and out of the
twelve torpedo boats ten are in an eff
cient state. This is almost the only trust
worthy Information received lately from
the inside OF Port Arthur.
