rected Against Steamers and Trans
ports
ports

Mukden, Dec. 10.-Numerous Jap
anese prisoners are being brought in
as result of constant night sorties
The Siberians especially delight in
this sort of work and seem to regard
the stalking and capturing Of pickets
and sentries as exhilerating sport
Some of the prisoners declare that
the prevailing inactivity is having a
greatly depressing influence upon the
masses of Japanese troops. Others
of the captives refuse to answer ques-
tons. The Japanese evidently are not
short of food, but the cold is extreme
ly trying on them.
Lieutenant General Linevitch had
narrow escape from death recently.
He had approached within a thousand
yards of Japanese battery when a
shell dropped near his staff and killed
an enlisted man.
London.-The Daily Telegraph's
correspondent before Port Arthur telc-
graphs that all the Russian battleships
and cruisers, together with the gun
boat Giliak and Fusadneck, were
sunk or destroyed, and that only the
torpedo boat destroyers remain in
tact.
According to special dispatch from
Toxic and Shanghai, giving unofficial
reports, the crews Of all the Russian
warships in the harbor of Port Ar
thur were landed, and apparently no
effort was made to move the vessels.
The Japanese will now turn their at
tention to the torpedo boat destroyers,
and when these have been destroyed
the guns will be directed against
steamers and transports in the har-
Dor.
Mail advices to Japanese describing
the capture of 203-Meter hill, say that
the Japanese drenched the timber
works of the trenches with kerosene
and started a furious fire, which was
famed by strong gale. The Jap
anese advance was very slow. They
were obliged to make roads with bags
of earth. 1t was a sudden decision
to make a night attack that brought
victory to the Japanese. Nothing is
yet officially known as to the extent
of the Japanese casualties.
Paris.-The Temps this evening
published the following dispatch from
Mukden under today's date:
II have just returned from ride
along the Russian front. The soldiers
are living underground in preference
to the filthy Chinese houses. Com
plete quiet prevails, and the general
is that the present quart
ers will be maintained for the winter.

ter Won PhIsve.
BELONG TO REvOlUT|0NARIES.
The Indictment Is Dated November
is and Is Signed BY the Proeura-
tor of the Court of Appeals-The

st. Petersburg, Dec. 12.-The In
dictment on which Sasoneff, the as
sassin of Minister Of the Interior Won
Plheve, and Sikorifsky, his accomp
lice, will be tried on December 10
is a formidable document reciting the
history of the assassination plot and
details of the crime, and revealing
for the first time interesting facts
about the accused and confessions
made by them, winding up with the
formal charge.
The indictment says that Sasoneff
and Sikorifsky, after long refusal,
confessed. the former and the latter
as an accomplice. Sasoneff in his
confession declared that the fighting
organization aims to secure political
liberty, with the object Of establish
ing socialism and the removal of the
existing regime by the destruction OF
the most earnest servants OF the
autocracy who are constantly the
worst enemies of the people, He
also stated that Pokatiloff, one Of his
associates in the fighting organiza-
ton, had lost his life at the time OF
the murder of Won Plheve.
The Indictment states that the gov
eminent undertakes to prove the
case as recited by the production OF
2S witnesses. 1t will also place in
evidence publications of the social
revolutionary. Photographs of the Ho-
tel Du Nord explosion caused by
Pokatiloff, a photograph of the scene
of the Won Pleheve murder, revolu-
tionary proclamations subsequently
issued, the police Investigations at
Ufa, the proceedings in the trials of
the assassin of Minister Sipaguine
and of those who attempted the MUIR
der of Governor General Bogdano-
witch; the post norton examinations
on the bodies of Won Plehve and his
coachman, and expert reports on the
explosives. The indictment con-
cludes:
'Sasoneff and Sikorifsky, for hav-
ing formed part in 1904 of secret
society styling itself the fighting or
ganization of the Social Revolution

of was to forcibly change the existing
form of government in Russia as es-
tablished by law, overthrow the eX-
listing statue of the empire and also
murder persons in Office by means
Of explosives, the same Sasoneff hav-
ing, on June %, in st. Petersburg,
deprived Won Plehve of life by
throwing an explosive engine filed
with dynamite, from the explosion Of
which Won Plehve was killed and the
lives of others endangered. the coach
man being killed and injuries being
inflicted upon several others, but not
depriving them of life, said Sikorif-
sky for having on the same day
agreed with the accused Sasoneff to-
gether to bring about the murder Of
Won Plehve."

FARMERS IN the LEAD.
FIity-Nlne Of Them In The Kansas State
Legislature.

Topeka. Dec. 1.-THE legislature
this winter will be composed OF SO
farmers, 80 business men, 81 law
yers, 10 bankers, 10 doctors, 5 edi-
tors, Q capitalists, mechanics, 1
school teacher, miner and l auc-
tioneer.
The farmers are strong in the
house, having fifty-five members, but
they are weak in the senate, having
only four. Some Of the bankers in
the senate are also farmers, or, rath-
err agriculturists, but banking is
their chief business. The house has
eighteen lawyers and the senate
nine. The house has twenty-six bust
ness men and the senate nine. BY
business men" is meant those who
are engaged in merchard ising,
wholesaling contracting and the like.
In the house the farmers can COM
bine with the lawyers, business men
or doctors and control things. But
no other class of men can combine
with any one other class and control.
II combine is to be made against
the farmers in the house on any
proposition it will take four other
classes to get a majority. In the SEN
ate business men predominant. They
can combine with either the lawyers
or the bankers and control by a ma
jority Of one. But to beat the bust.
ness men out on a proposition three
other classes will have to combine.
The farmers don't hold much power
in the senate.
Editors are not very numerous.
There are three in the house and two
in the senate. The house has one
miner to do the digging, eight doctors
to heal the wounds inflicted on the
floor and an auctioneer to close the
house out in case it becomes worth
less. The senate has two, doctors to
heal the wounded there and a couple
OF capitalists to bank on, in case of
a financial stringency. There is not
a preacher in either branch. So it
will be necessary to hire chaplains.

Kansas Worlds Fair Board Has a
Surplus on Hand.


Topeka, Dec. 12.-The Kansas
Worlds Fair board expects to have
all of its work cleaned up by Deem
Der Is and report filed. Senator
Morrow is now in st. Louis dispos-
ing of the odds and ends of the ex-
hibits, furniture and fixtures in the
Kansas building. Senator Crum, Of
Garrett, bought the building for $500
and will tear it down and move it to
Garrett. The electric furnishings
brought $500 The furniture and 9TH

piece"
Some of the exhibits have been
shipped to the agricultural college,
to the agricultural department, the
horticultural department and to the
academy of science. The school edu.
cational exhibit has been restored to
those who loaned it. Much of the
agricultural and horticultural exhib-
it was made up of perishable stuff
and is of no use to anybody.
The commissioners expect to turn
back into the treasury about $4,000
of their appropriation. This is most
unusual thing. Such commissions
usually spend all that is appropriat-
ed and then have some deficiencies
for the legislature to make up Gov
ernor and Mrs. Bailey will entertain
