AT PORT ARTHUR
At Any Moment the Fight May Begin
Near Mukden.-Each Side Appears
to be Waiting for the Other to Be-
gin the Attack.-Peculiar Condition.

Che Foo. Nov. 8.-The Japanese be-
sieging Port Arthur, ignoring General
Stoessel, the commander in chief of
the Russians there. have offered
terms of surrender to the Russian sol
diers, according to advices leaving
Port Dalny yesterday. In the mean
time ceaseless activity of picks and
spades continues. The Japanese are
gradually advancing their trenches.
Goth said the troops composing the
garrison were in want and dispirited.
Hopeless of relief, with food scarce
and medicine and hospital supplies
insufficient it was admitted by the
Russians that Japanese victory was
ultimately inevitable. The soldiers, ac
cording to the prisoner see no reason
to prolong the resistance which brings
glory to their officers but chiefly hard
ships to them. Upon hearing the pris-
oner's story a letter was written 10
the Russian soldiers themselves pro-
missing humane treatment if they
would surrender. The prisoner carried
the letter into the Russian ranks in
the night and returned later with the
that the soldiers would
answer in a few days

The views of the Socialistic elem

The City Council met last night
in the Clerks office with Mayor Hin
kle presiding, and the following alder
men present: Brooks, Church, White

and Kinsinger. The only member alb
sent was Alderman Johnson The

much business of importance was
transacted.

18th street.
A. J. Nisbet appeared before the
Board and protested in no uncertain
language against the proposed exten-
sion of cement walks on the west
side of Main from 7th street north
to the Military school. He said that
not one of the property owners had
asked that the Council act in the
matter, and that the walks they had
now were adequate as very few peo-
pie walked to the hill. He stated that
many of the property holders had com
piled with the orders of the Council
in putting down gravel walks and
had done so at a recent expense, and
he thought it an injustice against the
property owners to force them to put
down cement walks at the present
time
Ordinance No. 222 in regard TO ce-
ment walks was passed. 1t provides
for walks in many parts of the city.
The vote on it's adoption was to 3.
Ordinance No. 224, providing for
abating open irrigation bitches was
passed unanimously.
The special committee in regard
to removing wrecked buildings re-
ported and asked for legal advice on
several questions The City Attorney
advised that it was necessary for the
committee to require the owners to
remove the buildings. and that If
they did not comply to prosecute
them
1t was the opinion of the Mayor
that a test case should decide any
legal question in the matter, and the
City Attorney was ordered to make
a test case at once in the Justice

| Throughout the entire East ideal
weather prevails from Maine down
the coast line and back into the inter-
| or it is sunny and crisp, and as the
result an extremely heavy vote is be-
| ing poIled. This is particularly true
| in the rural districts where a long
spell of dry weather has put the
roads in excellent condition and ena-
bes the voters to reach the polls with
ease. In fact up to noon today the
reports indicate that good weather
extends over the entire country and
this leads the experts at headquarters
to predict that the vote of the East
will be the heaviest in many cleo
tions. In New York state the wealth
err conditions and the earnest efforts
of both parties to get the voters out
early are having decided effect, and
from many places upstate it was re-
ported that one-third of the vote had
been cast by nine o'clock. An unusu-
ally heavy vote was reported in every
city and town heard from during the
morning.
ly serious nature had occurred. AS
the day progressed arrests for alleged
illegal voting became more numerous.
Four of those arrested in New York
were Federal employees in the Treas
ury department at Washington. They
were subsequently permitted to vote.
New York, Nov 8.-Almost perfect
weather prevails in Greater New York
and early indications point to a very
heavy vote While perfect order pre-
vailed in most sections of the city,
trouble began in some quarters al
most at the start and arrests for al
legged illegal voting began almost 81
multaneously with the opening of the
polls. In some cases the arrests were
strations and at least two persons,
policeman and one citizen were in
jured before the voting had been in
progress twenty minutes. The first
surprise of the day was sprung by
State Superintendent of Elections Nor
gan when he distributed nearly three
thousand deputies representing his
Office through the election precincts
of the city. 1t was expected that he
would employ about eight hundred.
but it developed that he had discov-
cred that under the state laws he IS
empowered to call on any person to
assist him in the performance of his
duties The presence of the deputies
was early in evidence and hundreds
of men were challenged during the
first few hours.
Nearly one-third of the normal vote
had been cast during the first two
hours and the party leaders predicted
a record vote before the polls closed
at five O'Clock. Magistrates were Sit
ting in all parts of the city to give
| immediate hearing to men arrested
on charges of illegal voting and the
prisoners were arraigned as soon as
| they reached the station housees. At
| West 18th street station fourteen ar
rests were made before eight o'clock,
but the deputies were unable to pre-
sent sufficient evidence to hold any
of them and they were discharged.
