laps Will Winter
In Port Arthur

The Chicago Daily News publishes q
cablegam from its correspondent with
the japanese troops outside of Port Ar
thur, reading as follows.
General Kodamn, chief of the Jap
anese general staff, after thorough
inpsection of the operations at Port Ar
thur and a conference with General
Nogi, gave this interview:
"You have seen Port Arthur and
may think it is easy TO take, the gen.
eral said. but il is a difficult task.
"Of course" l said, it has 80
powerful forts ON which the Russians
have spent ten years of engineering
the natural defenses are strong; there
is stubborn army of fghtesr within,
cleverly commanded. Kodama held
out his closed hand into the air, in
terrupting me. 81 hold Port Arthur
here" he said.
"Where will you winter about Port
Arthur" | asked. "You are not build
ing barracks and have only shelter
tents. "
81 shall winter inside, replied the
general. 81 will take the fortress soon.
1 hesitate to use my big guns for fear
of hurting noncombatants. Il can not
say what damage the big guns will
do" resumed the general. 'This is
the first time in history that coast de-
Tense guns have engaged each other. "
How about fo"d?" l asked.
at is reported that you permit trans
potrs and junks to run the blockade,
wishing only the glory of taking the
fortress by assault.
THAT is absolutely false" replied
the general.
"Our blockade is perfect. The Rus
sian forts are we'll built on the Belgian
model. The general situation of the
forts also is similar to Belgian forts.
They are iron plated toward the sea,
toward land they are only earth works,
with some masonry and little concrete.
A clever engineer designed them. We
find them absolutely changed since the
war with China, when we took Port
Arthur in one day. Then one fort,
Etseshan, was the key of the whole po-
sition. When that had been taken all
others fell.
Nov we can not say any single
fort is the key. All are SO arranged
that we must take them In detail. The
capture of one means only the capture
of that individual fort, not of a series
atgs formerly. Study as we may, we
find it difficult to locate their weak
ness, they have carried on. Notifications
to such an extent"

SHARE IN GOVERNMENT.
Citizens of Russia Send Word to Gar
Nicholas

st. Petersburg meeting of rep
resentatives of Zemstvoo, which had
been looked forward to with so much
hope, was held Saturday afternoon at
a private residence in this city, but
at the last moment the government
withdrew the official auspices under
which 1t was to be held because the
representatives declined to adhere to
the original purpose of the conference.
A hundred interested men, included
among which were some of the most
prominent figures in Russia, therefore
met and discussed a carefully prepared
memorandum, practically embodying a
recommendation for a national repre-
sentative body to have a share in the
government. This memorandum will
be presented to Emperor Nicholas

JACK DAVIS REMEMBERED.
Sends His One Time Prosecutor
$4,000.

"Diamondfield" Jack Davis, the Cen
trail figure in one of the most remark
able criminal cases on record, has Civ
en- the man who drew his death war.
rant at Albion, Idaho, six years ago,
mining stock valued at $4,000, says
Salt Lake Herald.
Judge o. w. Powers of Salt Lake is
the recipient of the gift. In 1898,
Judge Powers, with W. B. Borah of
Idaho, assisting the state in prosecut-
ing "Diamondfleld Jack" for murder,
secured a conviction and by order of
Judge Stockslager drew Davis death
warrant.
Afterward, however, becoming con-
WINGED of Davis innocence, Judge
Powers appeared before the Idaho
board of pardons to urge that Davis be
released. This was done, and about
two years ago Davis came to Salt Lake
penniless. Judge Powers loaned him
money enough to get to Tonopah, New,
and Davis departed with the promise
that he would repay the money.
Since then Davis has become
wealthy. At Goldfields and Diamond
field he secured large holdings.
Recently Judge Powers received a
letter from the secretary of the Dia-
mondfeld Gold Mining company, in
closing $500 shares of stock, with the
statement that it was the personal gift
of Davis.
The shooting for which Davis was
thrice sentenced to death was a dou-
BILE killing, committed in Cassia coun-
ty, Idaho, in 1896. The legal proceed
ings ran through six years. The case
at one time reached the supreme court
of the United States and almost attain
ed the proportions of political issue
in Idaho.

WORLDS FAIR BUILDING BURNS.
Missouri Loses Handsome Structure
and Exhibits.

ST. Louis.-The Missouri state build
ing was destroyed by fire Saturday
night, resulting from the explosion OF
a hot water heater in the basement.
Instantly the flames shot up through
the rotunda and the north wing and
cupola were a solid mass of flames
within 10 minutes after the explosion.
The principal loss is in the contents
OF the building. The building cost
S145000, and in the building were $751;
600 worth of furnishings, the most val
liable of which were portraits of for
mer Missouri governors and supreme
judges. These can not be replaced.
NJ T. Davis, president of the world S
fair commission, was in the building
when the explosion occurred. He said;
The building as it stood, with all
the furnishings, cost in the neighbor-
hood of $225,000. There was not a
dollar of insurance. If we had endeav-
ored to sell the building we could prob
ably have realized more than $4,000"
Mrs. Belle Hall Small of Sedalia,
Mo-, one of the state hostesses, rushed
into her apartments in the building to
secure some valuables. A fireman fol
lowed her into the smoke and found
her lying on the floor overcome. Plac-
ing wet handkerchief over her face

prevail in large manufacturing and III
dustrlal centers. where so many thous-
ands of children ruin their lives In grind

Nevertheless there Is child labor In the
District. Instances Of in are the news

ful Characters -
Mr.. Douglass thought these conditions
could be remedied by the enforcement in
the District OF law prohibiting the en-
pioymcnt OF children under fourteen
years OF age, making education compUi-
sorry up TO that age.
