STILL HAMMERING AT
 PORT ARTHUR FLEET
JAPANESE CONTINUE TO DROP
 SHELLS ON SHIPS

Little Ground Now For Expecting That
 They Ever Again VIII be of Use to
 Russians-The Whereabouts of the
 Torpedo Boat Destroyers still Doubt
 fuI-Japanese Guns Searching the
 NoOks of the Harbor.
 Tokio, Dec. 11-4 p. m.-The battering by the Japanese of the Port Arthur fleet continues, and there is little ground for expecting that they ever again will en- gage the Japanese. The battleship se- yastopol continues at anchor outside. but possibly returns to the harbor at nights and anchors inside the outer boom, which protects her from torpedo boats. The recent heavy weather has given added protection to the vessel.
 Naval experts are discarding the the ory that the Russians themselves sank any of the ships, and the fact that the vessels first showed lists while in ex- posed positions and the efforts made to save the Sevastopol are regarded as conclusive evidence against the theory of their being sunk by the Russians. A majority of the sunken Warships lie headed northward. They received the bulk of the fire across their port sides, and the fact that at least two of them showed lists to starboard gives rise to the theory of Japanese shells exploding | inside fha shine and . apainst fha star board armor, driving the arnor out ward and causing leaks.
 In order to end the question of the future availability of the Russian war ships the Japanese continue to drop shells into the sunken hulks. The whereabouts of the torpedo-boat de- stroyers continues doubtful, but 1t is thought they are sheltering outside the harbor. The weather prevents good observation being made, but the Japan ese are sending searching fire into hooks which are not observable from 2OS-Metre Hill and other heights. The observers report number of tugs, launches, dredgers and small craft an- chored near the hospital ships in the west harbor, where they evidently have gone for the purpose of obtaining pro- lection. It is suggested that the be- siegers notify Lieutenant General Stoessel to separate these vessels from the hospital ships or take the conse- quences. The Japanese are exercising care to avoid hitting the hospital ships, which frequently are in the direct line of fire.

AN ILLEGTTIMATE CHILD.
Mrs. Chadwick Told Fri ReynoIds She
 Was Carnesie's Daughter.

Mrs. Chadwick Told Fri Reynolds She
 Was Carnegie's Daughter.
 Cleveland. Dec. Il. Secretary Fri Reynolds. of the Wade Park bank, de- clared tonight that his implicit belief in the statements made to him by Mrs. Chadwick in which she declared herself to be the daughter of Andrew Carnegie was the impelling cause of his financial dealing with her.
 She told me, said MT. Reynolds, that she was the illegitimate daughter of Andrew Carnegie, and I believed her. I never doubted her story until on the occasion of my last visit to New York, when MT. Squire. came to me and de- clerade that all the securities she had given me, as the notes of Andrew Car negie, were worthless.
 Tt was only then that doubted her. Before that l had refused to say any thing about her affairs because I deem ed it my duty tos protect her in the story of her birth as she had given it to me. never once doubted her until I was shown that the securities she gave me were worthless.
 After that of course I could not be- live her any more. When she told me the story of being the daughter of An drew Carnegie, CT husband, Dr. Chad wick, was present, and he believed the story as I did The stories of her giv- ing large sums of money to her hus- band are false He is now in Europe, and is penniless
 Just to show the methods of Mrs Chadwick, | will tell of what she offered to do for me about one year ago. She came to me in my office here and said that she was grateful for all that I had done for her, and that she wished me to accept a present from her. She then offered me $1O0,000 in four notes of $25,- 900 each. The notes were drawn by her, and she declared that they were as good as gold. They may have been. for l know that her notes for similar amounts had been negotiated in banks in this city and had been taken up at maturity.
 s'Of course, as an officer of the bank, could not accept such a present and remain in the institution. was com pelled either to resign or decline the present of the notes, and I declined the notes.''

 pr. Charles A. Eaton, pastor of the Euclid Avenue Baptist church. whose name has been mentioned in the Chad wick case and through whose good of fees the woman managed to receive a hearing from Herbert, ID. Newton of Boston. occupied his pulpit as usual to- day. Dr. Eaton made no reference, all though it had been rumored that he might do so, to the Chadwick affair. He feels keenly the publicity given his con- nection with the matter and heretofore has refused to make any comment.
 To representative of The Associated Press Dr. Eaton said tonight he could best explain his connection with the matter by quoting from an interview with Banker Newton, from whom Mrs. Chadwick secured large sum. In that statement Banker Newton told how he became financially involved, referring to the Eatons as follows:
 fl believe that both Eatons acted in perfect good faith in the introduction and that their confidences were abused as were the confidence of many other persons. 7
 The introduction of Mrs. Chadwick to MT. Newton referred to resulted from a letter from Dr. Eaton to his brother, John E, Eaton, who pesented the wo- man to the Massachusetts banker.

 "A caflvass by the New York Times of the popular vote at the last presi- dential election, complete except as to. one county in Tennessee and four coun- ties in Michigan, for which estimates are given, shows that President Roose- welt defeated Judge Parker by 2,546. .16S. He polled the largest vote ever given for. a president of the United States 7,640. 560. This is more than 100000 in excess of the vote cast for Mckinley in 1900

Watson, the populist can dfdate. ran strongest in his own state Georgia, where he received 22,635 votes He received most of his votes in the south and west, but only one was cast for him in South Carolina

Them Bruised.

Them Bruised.
 New York, Dec. 11.-With her bow stove in, the marine telegraph disabled and forward windlass twisted, the Bel gravia, of the Hamburg American line, arrived from Cuxhaven to-day with tales of a six-hour experience in a hurricane that threw 1,290 of her 1870 steerage passengers into panic Decem- Der s. The 1,200 were Polish and Russian refugees sent to this country by Lon don societies.
 According to Captain Magin, in lat itude 45 degrees and 30 minutes north, and 50 degrees west longitude, at 6 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, the Bel, gravia ran into a. hurricane, the force of which could not be measured by the wind measuring gauge. Captain Magin estimated that at it's height there was a wind velocity of 12O miles an hour, ranging between that and seventy-five miles.
 A great wave swept over the bow of the vessel at midnight of the 9th, tear ing out the shield, disabling the marine Telegraph, tearing away the starboard hawser port forward and smashing the I.Windlass. It was then that the fear below decks. which had been continu- ous, arose to panic. It was necessary l to send all officers off duty below to quiet them, and these were compelled to remain there several hours, trying to treasure the frightened persons that there was no danger.
 As the refugees left the ship to-day for Ellis island, many of them showed bruises about the face and head, caused when they were thrown about in the storm. The other steerage passengers, who remained quietly in their berths, were not hurt.
