London, Dec. 9.-The Daily Tele,
graphs correspondent before Port Ar
thur telegraphs that all of the Rus.
sian battleships and cruisers, together
with the gunboats Giliak and Fusad-
neck, were sunk or destroyed and that
only the torpedo boat destroyers re-
main intact
According to special dispatches from
Toxic ard Shanghai giving unofficial
reports, the crews of all the Russian
war vessels 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 tc the torpedo boat Destroy
ers and when these have been destroy
ed the guns will be directed against
steamers and transports in the harbor.
The same correspondent states that
Russians at Port Arthur on December
z, resumed mine clearing operations,

destroyers to attempt to escape and
joir the Baltic squadron.
London, Dec. 10.-The Daily Tele-
graphs Tien-Tsin correspondent re-

Russians, it is added abandoned a
quantity of supplies and several guns
and retired to a position eight miles
northwest from whence they heavily
bombarded the Japanese, setting fire,
on Tuesday, to kerosene storehouses
and causing great conflagration
which did not cease till Wednesday.
The Japanese are still gallantly hold
ing the island with a handful Of men.
Their casualties, it is alleged, number
5000

FLOCKING INTO CANADA
IMMIGRATION FROM DAKOTA
AND ADJOINING STATES.
Major Edwards, United States Consul
General at Montreal, Describes
the Movement as Due to
Scarcity Of Land.

Montreal. Nov. 15.-Major Allison
Edwards, United States Consul Gen
eral, who returned to-day from a visit
to his home at Fargo, North Dakota,
said in an interview: "The proper.
way to describe the manner in which
the people of North Dakota are COM.
ing over into Western Canada is to
say they are coming over in droves.
Among the people there did not seem
to be any thought Of there being a
boundary line at all. 1t is simply a:
question" added the major, "of there
not being any more land in North Da-
kota and the surrounding States, and
the people are fiocking to Canada to
get good farms. Naturally the num-
Der that will come over will increase
all the time, and may say the people
you are getting are the best people in
the west. They are we'll supplied with
money and are well acquainted with
the conditions under which they will
have to work" The agents of the
Government located at different pointa
in the United States are prepared to-
give the fullest information regarding
homestead and other lands.

HlDEous CRIME.
An Entire Family Murdered and the
Dwelling Set on Fire.

Augusta, Ca, Dec. "a special
from Edgefeld, S. c., says: A most
hideous crime occurred at Trenton on
Wednesday night, equal in horror to
the Statesboro affair, if the generally
accepted theory be true that the vic
tins were murdered before the house
was fired At 5 o'clock Thursday
morning the residence of B. B. Hughes,
centrally located in the town, was dis
covered to be on fire. Neighbors rush
ed to the scene, but the fire had pro-
gressed so far that entrance to the
house was impossible. AS soon as the
fire had died down searchers found the
charred and almost unrecognizable
bodies of the entire family, consisting
of Mr.. Hughes, his wife Eva and two
young daughters, Emmie, aged 10, and
Hattie, IA years of age. Mr.. Hughes
body lay just below where had been
situated the door leading from his
room to the hall with a bullet hole
through his head. A pistol with one
empty chamber lay nearby. Part of
his charred clothes were on his per-
son, showing that he was dressed at
the time he met death. The body Of
his wife was on the bed springs while
those of the young ladies were SINH
larly situated.
The skulls of these three were crush
ed as if hit by an ak or some blunt
instrument. The bodies occupied
most natural position with nothing to
indicate a struggle, showing that they
had been killed in sleep.
A coroner's jury was impaneled but
as yet no testimony has been taken,
it being thought best to await further
developments. 1t was said that three
tracks were discovered leading from
the field up to the rear of the house.
The county bloodhounds were secured
and put on the trail, but this has avail
ed nothing. One theory is that the
house was entered for the purpose of
robbery.
Excitement runs high, but nothing
rash will be done. Upon the request
of Solicitor Thurmond, Gov. Hayward
has offered reward for the apprehen-
sion of the guilty parties.

creased allowance Of $4,000 for bring
ing home criminals is asked, also $780,
900 for carrying on the work of delim-
iting the boundary line between the

the minister to Argentine, Mr.. Hay
submits a letter written from BuenOS
Ayres by Mr. Barrett, while minister
to that country, saying:
After being here five days and
pricing hundred things from house
rent down to collar, am convinced
that this is one of the most expensive,
if not the most expensive capitals in
the world
Houses that rent for $3.50 month
i'll Washington, he said, are held at
$3.50 there. He quoted prices of a list
Of articles as obtained at depart
ment store in Buenos Ayres, among
which the prices of linen shirts are
given at $44 to $66 gold per dozen.
Mr.. Barrett said he paid $110 for a
dozen that proved very inferior.
Among other articles mentioned and
prices were rubber boots, $13 to $95
gold, derby hats $6.3S, silk hats 1920.
with other things in proportion. In
creases were recommended in the sala-
ries of large number of cOnsulates.
