 chefoo. July S1--2 D m.-A Japanese merchant has received word from a Chinese. whom he trusts, to the effect that the Japanese have occupied every position surrounding the besieged for tress of Port Arthur, with the exception of Golden Hill. The Chinese stated that both sides suffered tremendous losses in the operations necessary to bring about this state of affairs.
 The members of the Russian intelli- gence bureau here, while denying the report that Port Arthur has been cap- tured, are inclined to believe the re- ports true to the extent that the Japan csc have made great progress in their operations about the besieged fortress. The party of Russian refugees expect ed here to-day have not as yet arrived.
 London, Aug. 1.-The Tokio corre- spondent of the Times sends a publish ed translation of the reply of the Port Arthur garrison to the Japanese sum mons to surrender. This reply shows that the garrison is under the impress sion that Field Marshal Oyama and all his staff were sunk with the transports Hitachi and Sado, and that the Rus sians wholly disbelieve that General Kuropatkin has ever been defeated.

FINAL AWARD SIGNED
Italy Gets ssOO,OOO from venezueIa-
 Claims for ss,OOO,O0O.

Washington, July S1. = Jackson s. Ralston of this city has just signed his final ward as umpire of the Italian Venezuelan commissions, and this com pletes the labors of all the recent Vene- Guelan mixed commissions. About 36O claims aggragating s6.OOO,OO0 were filed with the Italian commissioner, there being many more Italian claimants than of any other nationality, and the aggregate awards were about S6O0, 900.
 The largest claim was that of the Corvaia heirs for over S, ,000, ,000. The or igina1 claimant was born in Sicily. but passed a large part of his life in Ven ezuela, acting abroad, however, at diff ferent periods in various capacities for that country. The umpire held that acc cording to the law of his native land he had forfeited his original citizenship | by his diplomatic employment and his heirs, therefore, could not be heard be- fore the Italian commission.
 Several cases of expulsion from Ven ezuela came before the commission. The umpire recognized the govern mental right of expulsion but found in particular instances that it had been exercised in disregard of the law and granted damages. For the unlawful killing of two Italians by, or in the presence, and with the sanction of, gov ernment officials. awards of sSOOO and $10,000 were given.
 The question most debated before the commission was as to the responsibility of Venezuela for-tile acts of unsuccess- lful revolutionists. The umpire follow ling many precedents, held in number of cases that such responsibility did not exist.
 The government will soon publish a complete report of the decisions of all iof the venezulan commissions.

 St. Petersburg. July sl.-M. von Plehve the minister of the interior, who was assassinated Thursday morn ing last, was buried to-day and in every city and hamlet of this vast em- pire church bells were tolled and mass es and prayers said for the repose of the soul of the murdered minister.
 The services here, which were ac- oc-aing to the rites of the orthodoz church, were of an impressive and irn- posing character. At II o'clock thix morning high mass was said in thR stately chapel adjoining the ministery of the interior. Emperor Nicholas and the dowager empress stood with the broken hearted widow and the children of the minister at the foot of great mound of flowers on which rested the casket. To the right, on gold embroid~ cred cushions before mass of wreatllg banked to the ceiling were ranged the decorations which had been worn bx \ the statesmen during his notable careen To the left were the metropolitan of St Petersburg and the officiating bishopf land priests in their embiazoned vestments. A screen of flowers con- lcealed the famous imperial boys choir. l Among those present were other members of the imperial family, the foreign representatives, including Spen- cer Eddy, charge d'ahaires of the Am lerican embassy, ministers of the ern- pire, generals, adnlirals. nobles, gov- ernors of distant provinces, like those of Astrakhan and Irkutsk-in fact all high oficialdom, not even emitting Ganghiz Khan, a lineaI descendant of the Napoleon of Asia, who is now major general in the Russian service.
 The entire assemblage was in uniform and on the arm of each was a badge of mourning. All held lighted tapers throughout the service, and the air was heavy with the perfume of flowers and incense from the censers.
 l At the most solemn moment, when aall knelt and many were affected bv ltears, the widow was overcome and ifainted. The emperor came 10 her as- sistance, and she was carried out by gentle hands.
 The emperor was visibly moved and lupon the conclusion of the mass he fol- lowed the casket, which was taken up- on the shoulders ot the ministers, and borne down the broad marble stair case to the street. There the funeral procession was formed, and the bedy Twas placed in a great white open Ihearse drawn by six coal-black horses, (which were blanketed from their ears Ito their tails in sombre trappings of woe.

GEN. sAEARoFF REPORTS.
No2 Change at Front, He Says Up to
 July 30.

3st. Petersburg, July S1. Lieutenant- General Sakharoff, in a dispatch to the general staff dated July 30, reports that as.there has been no change in the front Of the Manchurian army up to midday to-day. The Japanese are concentrat- ing strongly on our southern front" Y General Sakharoff then refers to Gen. eral Oku's account of the battle of Tatchekiao, declaring that the Russian forces were not so large as General Oku represented, adding:
 "Our position was occupied solely with a view of keeping the enemy in check and with no idea of obstinately defending it. We did not throw up any special defenses. We held all our posi- tions against the Japanese attacks and then retired because the commanding officer did not deem it possible to ac- cept battle the following morning while defending a position with a front of ten miles. The evacuation of our position was complete surprise to the Japan ese.''

MR. PUNDERFoRD ATTENDS.
General Manager of Trolley Road at
 Meeting and Makes statement.


 General Manager J. K Punderford ac- cepted the invitation sent him by the Trolley Mems union to attend their meeting early this morning and he made the following statement to the men:
 Gentlemen: was greatly surprised to read in the papers Sunday that meet ing had been called to forestall the meeting I had asked for on Tuesday morning, as the committee which had waited upon me considered had slight ed them by having a meeting prior to giving the committee my answer to the different requests made and which an- swer had agreed to give on Wednes- day afternoon.
 The meeting I had called had abso- Iutely nothing to do with the requests of the committee to me. but will cover an explanation of the rules and their necessity. Had I been discourteous enough to give my answer on Tuesday morning at the meeting called by me, then 1t would have been time enough to criticize my methods and not to oblige me to come here and explain myself at a special meeting, which must have a tendency to lessen the number of men present on Tuesday morning. Gentlemen, wait until l have treated you unfairly and then take such steps as you see fit and you will have the public with you: without this it will be very difficult to succeed.

POLITICAL POEM BK K1pIIse.
.'Things and The Mans Prompted By
 Joseph Chamberlain.

London. July S1.-Rudyard Kipling. who is known as strong admirer of Joseph Chamberlain and an earnest supporter of his political views. and who believes that his tariff proposals will contribute largely to weld the em- pire, has written a striking poem which will appear here tomorrow and which is sure to cause much interest and dis cussion in political circles as was as in the literary world It is entitled Things and The Man. and is of five stanzas, each ending with the itaIiciz- ed refrain "once on time there was a man."
 The final stanza is an enthusiastic suggestion that, even in these days, there is a man who is capable of great things. Following are the first and last stanzas of the poem:
 Oh ye who hold the written clue
 To all save all unWritten things. And, half a league behind, pursue
 The accomplished fact with fiouts Look! To your knee your baby brings
 The oldest tale since earth began The answer to your worryings,
 Once on time there was a man. A bolt Is fallen from the blue,
 A wakened realm full circle swings, Where Dothan's dreamer dreams anew
 Of vast and far borne harvestings, And unto him an empire clings,
 That grips the purpose of his plan. My Lords. how think you of these
 things?
 Once, in our time-is there a man? The allusion When Dothan's dream- CT dreams anew will be made clear by reference to Genesis xxxvii. 5. 1T. 19.l

 less Money Is Paid by That Time :. Surprise in Washington at the News -,-General Impression That venezueia :. Was Meeting obligations. r..
 wiIlemstad, Island of Curacao, July s1.-H is reported that Herr Pelldam. the German minister at Caracas, has delivered an ultimatum demanding the immediate payment by the Venezuelan government of tne interest," on the Iamount of the award to be paid to Gel many as stipulated In the protocols signed by Herbert W. Bowen, repre- sentlng Venezuela in, February, 1903. If this demand is not complied with, the report says. the minister will leave Csracas. August 4.
 Washington, July S1. Not little sur prise is evidenced here over the news from Willemstad, as the general im- pression has been that President Castro was meeting the demands of the pro- tocol signed by MT. Bowen. Germany Italy and Great Britain, according to the decision of The Hague tribunal, were to have preferential treatment in the payment of their claims against Venezuela, after which the non-block- ading powers were to be paid. All the payments were to be made out of 30 per cent. of the customs receipts of the ports of La Guaira and Porto Cabello, which were to be set aside for that pur- pose. There has been a feeling of dis
 satisfaction among some of the mem
 bers of the diplomatic corps at Caracas over various acts of President Castro, and some reports which have reached here have irtimated that g full 30 per lcent. of the receipts at the two ports named were not being set aside for the
 payments of the claims as provided in
 the protocol. This may have a bearing on the action which Is said to have been taken by the General minister.
 l At the same time provision also was made that if Venezuela failed to keep
 the terms of the protocol the Belgian
 government was to take charge of the
 customs at the ports named and admin ister them until the claim of the powers Iwere settled along the lines agreed on.
 This, the ofiicials think, should remove K the necessity for any arbitrary action by any of the powers signatory to the
 protocols.
