A SHORT, STOUT MAN
Suspected of the Murder of Miss
Steinigeweg.

Steinigeweg.
Cincinnati, Nov. 4.-The awful death
of Alma Steinigeweg, the telephone
operator, whose body was found yes
terday in a vacant lot near Spring
Grove Cemetery entrance, still re-
mains a mystery.
The one thing certain is that the
girl was murdered. The pool of blood
found on the railway track disproves
the theory of accident, as in such a
case the body would be thrown off the
track
The only thing yet discovered in the
nature of a clew is the story told by
Frank Lille, the conductor on whose
car Miss Steinigeweg rode on her way
home Wednesday night. The girl has
been in the habit of going home on that
car and Lille knew her by sight. He
says that on Monday night, short,
stout man, stranger, boarded the car
with Miss Steinigeweg and sat facing
her. He alighted when she did, with
other passengers. The conductor WON
dered why the man took the car for
such short distance.
Tuesday night the man did the same.
Then, also, other passengers got off
with Miss Steinigeweg but on We'd
nesday night man alighted alone with
the girl. The conductor infers that
this man committed the murder.
Jacob Kollmer, a saloon keeper, saws
that a stranger, dusty and nervous, en-
tered his place few squares from the
scene of the murder Wednesday night
and asked the nearest place to board
a freight train

THINK IT SURE THAT
CITY WILL SOON FALL
Japanese Look for Early Capture OF
Port Arthur.

Port Arthur.
Che Foo, Nov. 4, $3.50 p. m.-Chinese
who left Dalny yesterday evening re-
port that patches of wounded were
passing through Dalny. They report
also during the recent battle fresh Jap
anese troops were constantly going to
the front.
1t is reported that the Japanese kill
ed or wounded in front of Port Ar
thur during the last three months APP
proximately 10000.
There are persistent trumors that
the Japanese have occupied the forts
of Rihlung mountain and certain forts
of the Keekwan mountain group, but
well informed japanese here consider
these rumors as premature. These
Japanese, however, are confident that
the end of the Russian occupation of
Port Arthur is fast approaching. They
admit that they have been disappoint-
ed heretofore, but say that their prev
ious hopes never had such fact-based
foundation as those they at present en-
terrain.
The fact that Gen. Nogi, commander
of the Third Japanese army before
Port Arthur has allowed the Associat-
ed Press dispatches to leave the front
ed upon as strongly indicating the con-
ffdent spirit of the besiegers.
Further tidings OF events at Port Ar
thur are awaited here with an intensity
of interest greater than any displayed
since the beginning of the war.

M'CUE CASE MAY
BE CLOSED TO-DAY
ARGUMENTS ABOUT OVER.
TRIAL OF DEFENDANT FOR WIFE
MURDER LASTED THREE WEEKS.

Judge Morris Promised "A jail SEN
tence to Any Person Who Might
Make Demonstration During the
Recommendations Showed n Desire
to Have Him Make Good His Prom
Use Commemorative Attorney
Will Make the Concluding Argu-
ment This Morning.
Charlottesville. Va, Nov. 4.-Judge
Morris warned the crowd which pack
ed the Corporation Court when the
trial of ex-Mayor McCue was resumed
to-day, that the first person who
might make a demonstration of APP
prevail or disapproval would be sent
to Jail, and kept there long enough to
make him regret his action.
John Lee. chief counsel for the ac-
cused then began the closing argu-
ment to the jury for the defense.
Mr.. Lees appeal for his client gave
full scope to his power of oratory and
command of rhetoric. His conclusions
were forcefully presented, and at times
he was severely critical. Mr.. Lee Of
fered an additional batch of letters
passing between Mr.. and Mrs. McCue,
but they were not admitted. He closed
shortly after 1 o'clock with a perora-
ton marked by eloquence and touch
ing references, which brought tears to
the eyes of the accused and some of
the relatives surrounding. This con-
cluded the arguments for the defense.
A recess was then taken.
Woods Explanation stopped.
When the court convened for the aft
ernoon session Capt. Woods of counsel
for the commonwealth arose to make
an explanation in view of statements
made by Mr. Lee. He had not pro-
ceeded far when he said he had re-
fused a large fee. Mr.. Lee Immediate
ly objected to this statement and NOV
ed for the discharge of the jury and
the accused. The court overruled the
motion and declined to allow Mr.
Woods to continue his explanation.
Mr.. Frank Gilmer commemorative
attorney for the city of Charlottesville
occupied the whole time of the after
noon session making the final argu-
ment for the prosecution. He sum
med up in vigorous manner the case of
the state. When at o'clock he an
nounced that he would require at least
an hour and half in which to con-
clude, Judge Morris ordered a recess
until tomorrow morning.
Court Room Was damned.
The court room was damned at both
sessions, many more seeking adms-
sion than could be admitted. Again
the section reserved for women was
filled to its utmost capacity all day
long and again some who had favored
positions did not leave during the mid
day recess, eating their lunches in
their seats. The defendant in addition
to the large number of relatives who
surrounded him, had his two youngest
children Immediately at his side, with
first one then the other on his lap.
The little daughter, Ruby, frequent
ly gave way to tears.
The accused was under a severe
strain throughout the afternoon ses-
sion, but preserved his composure.
Commemorative Attorney Gilmer
will conclude tomorrow forenoon when
the case will be given to the jury aft
er a three weeks trial.

ST. PETERSBURG PLEASED;
PORT ARTHUR STANDS.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 5. 2:40 a. M
Great relief is felt here in view of re-
ports indicating that the Japanese as
saults on Port Arthur have been I'M
successful. A direct report from the
Russian consul at Che Foo says he has
received information from Chinese
sources that the Japanese finally re-
linquished the attempt on Nov. 8. the
Mikado's birthday, losing enormously.
The consul says the carnage was
awful. The bombardment continued
six days without intermission. The
japanese preached and took Fort No.
3, but according to the Chinese, were
forced to abandon it owing to the con-
centrated fire from the supporting for
tifications.
No confirmation has been received
here of the report that Gen. Stoessel
was wounded.

Governor Brodie IS getting pretty close to President Roosevelt and has been commissioned to organize a squad. ron of Rough Riders which is to be
 the personal escort of the president on
 the occasion of his inauguration on March f. This is an honor to Gov ernor Brodie which will be highly appreciated by his many friends in Arizona. Of course in choosing the squadron the governor cannot take the entire number from Arizona, but all may be assured that our territory will be well represented in the squadron. We expect to see Major McClintock. of Phoenix; George Wilcox, of Tomb stone; Captain Rynning, of Douglas, and several others of the territory, called to the side of the governor on inauguration day. The attention paid to the governor by the president is also sufficient to encourage the hope that tn people ofArizona will reach a soft spot in the breast of the executive in the matter of joint statehood which Brodie is combating with such vigor.

ADJUrANT GENERAL MILES

ALL U 1AN1 IEN 6hA h MILES
 The news that Governor-elect Doug las, of Massachusetts. has rendered to Gen. Nelson A. Miles the position of adjutant general of the state and that he has accepted it, has been the sub iect of good deal of comment. Some have chosen to take the position that the acceptance of position as a mere officer of militia is an astonishing act of condecension on the part of a man who has been commanding general of the United States army. They appear to think that taking such 8 place is in derogation of the dignity of one who has held position so much more ex- alted. The opinion. how ever, comes mostly from those who have never liked Gen. Miles, and who in the past have abused him for having too high an idea of his own dignity and impor- tance.
 To those disposed to do justice to a man who has done the state good deal Of service, and who has been rather hardly treated in official circles, it does not seem difficult to account for his acceptance of this office. Long before he was retired, Gen. Miles was condemned by his superiors to life of comparative inactivity, very galling to a man who had won his reputation by services in a field fuIl of opportunities for action and achievement. Though sumewhat advanced iD life, he did not feel incapacitsted for usefulness, in his chosen profession. We all know that old age is relative, and that the num- Der of years one has lived is not sure criterion of what he is able. to accom- plish. Gen. Miles had demonstrated his capacity for a a degree of exertion beyond the reach of much younger men, and it is not strange that he should want an opportunity to do something useful when he feels quite competent to undertake it., Tn the office of adjutant general of Massachu setts he thinks he sees an opportunity to serve the people ot his native state in way profitable to them and agree able to himself. It is altogether to his credit that he allows no exaggerated notions of dignity to stand in his way.
 The friends of Gen. Miles in Massa- chusetts point out that another distin- guished son of that commonwealth, John Quincy Adams. thought it no derogation of his dignity as ex-p1esi- dent to serve his congressional district in the house of representatives. What was open to MT. Adams. they say, can hardly be cited to the discredit of Gen. Miles.
