REPORTED FALL OF PORT AR
THUR.

De- Nor 1.-THE Toxic cores
.ondant Of the newspaper Message
wires that report has reached there thai
port thur has capitulated. The Agen-
zia Liberia has dispatch from Chefoo
stating that a messenger from General
Stoessel. in command of the Russian
forces at Port Arthur, has arrived at the
Japanese headquarters. 1t is believed
his purpose is to ascertain what condl.
tions the japanese would impose should
the Russians surrender the Port.
London, Nov. ll-Several reports from
private sources were current this morn
ing that Port Arthur had fallen. NO
official confirmation has been received
and Baron Hayashi, the japanese Min
lister, says he has received no intimation
that such an event has occurred.
A dispatch from Berlin quotes the
Lokal Anzeiger as containing a similar
report. The paper says General Stoessei
will evacuate today. The paper adds
that General Nogi, the japanese comman-
der, has been notified by his home govern
ment that he will be held responsible fer
the humane treatment ofthe surrendering
Russians. This injunction has been sent
him as a result of the reports that the
japanese troops were bitter because OF
the alleged killing of japanese wounded
by the Russians, and that the surrender
of the port would be the signal for
wholesale massacre Of the Russians in
revenge Tor this inhuman treatment OF
wounded. The reports of the fall OF
Port Arthur today, while officially
unconfrmed, are believed to presage
what is about to happen if it is not yet
actually fact.
st. Petersburg, Nov. ll.-Lieutenant
General Sakharoff today reported minor
Russian success during the night. He
wires as follows: "Sharp shooters on
our right flank while recounoitering DUR
ing the night, pushed as far as Sandepu,
where they met a considerable force OF
japanese, who attacked them and at
tempted to drive them out of Erthaitsi.
Russian reinforcements appeared and the
.Japanese retired" On our left flank on
Wednesday, our volunteers attacked a
Japanese outpost killing three japanese.
Their weapons and papers were caps
tured."
London, Nov. IA telegram from
ST. Petersburg states that General Grip
peuburg has died suddenly as the result
of an attack of apoplexy. Gen. Grip
penburg was recently appointed to COM
mand the second Manchurian army; and
was preparing to depart for the far East.
General Grippenburg was &C years old.
He distinguished himself in the Polish
instruction Of 1863 and in the Turkestan
campaign of lS67-6S. He commanded
the Moscow guards in the Russo-Tprkish
war

Four Tramps Burned 70 peath.

Altoona, Pa, Nov. Flour trsmps
lost their lives in fire which destroyed
the large barn of o. w. Haggerty this
morning. A fifth tramp, known as
"Soapman" escaped, although badly
burned, "Cornhusker," one of those
who persisted, sacrificed his life for q
horse. Apparently, he was trying to
get the animal out OF the barn when the
roof fell, envelopipg them with flames.
His charred hand still held the halter
chain when the body was found. The
barn which was located just outside the
city was famous the country over as q
tramp resort. II is thought that the fire
was started by strange tramp who
went there to sleep and struck matches
to find his way. Mr.. Haggerty estimates
the loss at $4,000 Six horses were
cremated, all the farm machinery and
the summer crops of hay, straw and
grain were consumed.

Trenton. n. j., Nov. ll.-When a
doctor told Joseph Weber that he would
have TO have a leg amputated, be replied
that be would be 'eserlastingly jims-
wizzled'' il he did. Weber is 81 years
old, and lives at 29 Chapel street. Some
time ago he ran 8 rusty nail in the great
toe Of his right foot and gangrene set in.
After the doctor had left him he began
to think about the operation. 81 need
the leg" be said to himself, "but guess
/ could do without the toes. Maybe it
would be agood scheme to cut them off I"
He got a meat cleayer and, resting the
diseased digits on the footboard of his
bed, chopped them of one by one. Then
he bound up the foot. The cutting was
80 skillfully done with the cleaver that it
is probable the leg can be saved.

FRIDAY EVENING. NOV. II, 1904

THE SUGGESTION that the time mas
come for the rise of new political party
IN tho South is conceded by many. The
fact that certain democratic leaders IN
Nov York city refuse TO be interviewed
IN reference to last Tuesdays election
and decline to make any explanation OF
The procedure by which Judge Parker 1t
ia charged, was numerically knitted by
rTammany Hall, has caused many in this
section to lose interest in the northern
wing of the democratic party. As was
iptimated Yesterday, large percentage
Of people south of Mason aud Dixon
line believe some heather Chinee trick
has been played, and that the st. LOUIS
convention was unduly influenced by
men who who had no idea a democratic
President would be elected and VINO prop
ablv had no interest 10 such result. IL
is hard to prove such charges, out Tie
fact that Tammany leaders have sudden
" become as mute as the Sphynx gives
veieht to them. The southern country
comprises about one-tbird Of the proper
domain of the United States. 1t should
remain, as it has for years, soIidiy ano
inexorably opposed to racial equali'y'
high tariff, miltarism, expansion &C
The time seems to have arrived "hen
another political organization emoody,
ing the above and other principles, should
arise. All parts Of the country could be
invited TO participate in its mission, and
if il remained in the minority, this Sec
ton would be as well of as it is, while the
platform would be standing protest
against all the unnatural appendices the
republicans have attached to the ship Of
State

Attempted Murder and Suicide.

Winsted, Conn, Nov. ll.-Word has
been received here from Otis, Mass, of
an attempt at murder and suicide by
James T. Stevens, aged IS, farmer of
that place. Last night Mr.. Stevens went
to the house where his wife was staying
aud fred a shot at her through the win
dow. The shot entered her abdomen,
but as the bullet struck a corset steel and
glanced, her condition is not thought to
be serious. Stevens thea went into the
road aud shot himself in the temple, dy-
ing instantly. Stevens and his wife had
been separated for some time, and she
recently got divorce on the ground Of
iDtolerabe cruelty. He had threatened
to shoot her. Yesterday he shaved off
bis beard evidently with the intention of
Disgusting himself or preparing for death.

Murderer Still at Large.

Huntington, w. Va, Nov. lid
Jackson, who shot and killed Sheriff
Daniels here, with his brother George
are still hiding in the mountains with
heavily armed posses in pursuit The
early reports that the men had been sur
rounded were premature. BlOodhounds
which were brought to Montgomery
failed to take the trail. Prosecuting At
torney G. w. Ozenton aud 80 deputies
arrived in Montgomery from Fayette-
vile, early today, snd arrested Ernest
and Bob Jackson, two other brothers OF
the fugitives. They we're taken to
Charleston, where they are now in Jail.
The officials expect further trouble, as
the sentiment against the entire Jackson
family is very strong. Before the muir
der of Daniels, the sentiment was with
the Jacksons, as against Policeman
Elliot who killed one of the Jacksons,
which caused the trouble. Elliott is in
the custody of Chief Hundley of Mont
gOmery.

To Eliminate Minor Political Parties.

Boston, Nov. III The returns of the
vote for President from every city 10
Massachusetts, and from all but 20 of
the 800 towns in the State, show an
enormous shrinkage in the votes polled
by all the minor political parties, and
the indications are that for the first
time since the three per cent. party law
was passed there will be but two legal
political parties in the coming year.
The socialist party, which has been
legal party since 1901, and which two
years ago polled nearly 10 per cent of
the entire State vote, polled for its presi-
dental ticket this week only about
2:09 per cent.

IT Is said that President Roosevelt
will make a speech in Georgia next
January to "set himself right" on the
negro question. Republican newspapers
are attempting to be pathetic by refer
ring to the fact that the Presidents
mother was born in Georgia and that
the late President Mckinley made his
lannon's speech in that State when he an
nounced his wish that the federal gov
eminent pay the expense of maintaining
the cemeteries OF Confederate dead. How
Mr.. Roosevelt can set himself right with
Southern people in the face of his record
is hard to understand. His attempt to
fois, Crum upon the people of Charles
ton, his course in connection with the
Indiauola postofii,e and intercourse
with Booker Washington are still fresh
in the memory of all.

The Textile Council.

Fall River, Mass, Nov. 1.-THE
textile council this afternoon issued a
proclamation to the $4,000 striking
operatives, asking them not to return
to work on Monday morning, next, when
the manufacturers propose to open the
mills and make the first real test of
strength of the operatives since last
July. 1t also urges them not to
make any demonstrations, but to
conduct themselves IN an orderly
manner Reference is made to the
many attempts on the part of the
labor leaders to arrange an amicable
settlement, but the failure of all OF them
was due to subbornness Of the agents.
Despite the suffering and restitution it il
now thought but few strikers will return
to work on Monday.

The Recent Election.

Practically complete returns from the
election of Tuesday show that it abound
ed ia broken precedents. For the first
time in our history an accidental Presi-
dent was returned to power, for the
first time a plurality exceeding one mill
lion was given and for the first time the
victor received over 800 electoral votes.
President Rooseyelts electoral vote was
343, representing 33 States. His plural
ity: over Judge Parker is approximately
/ 500, 000 and his majority over all may
reach 1000, 900.
President Roosevelt broke the hitherto
inyincible solid South, capturing the
electoral vote OF Missouri by about 20
900 plurality. and be very nearly cap.
iured the electoral vote of Tennessee.
DR.. Silas Q. Swallow, the prohibition
candidate, received over 300, 900 votes,
greater than ever polled by his party
before, and as stated yesterday, Eugene
Debs, social democrat, ran strong in the
Northwest, having a larger vote than
the democrats in Milwaukee. Not until
the official count is completed in the
various States will it be known how
greatly Thomas Watson, populist, cut
into the democratic vote. but he is be-
lieved to have cut very small figure in
the election.
The results in many States show how
much stronger President Roosevelt was
than the State republican machines.
The notable examples are Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Minnesota, West Vir-
GINA, Montana, Nebraska and Missouri,
where democratic Governors were cleo
ted, though each Of these States gave a
plurality for Roosevelt and elected re-
publican legislature.
Only few of the counties in Virginia
have as yet sent in the official returns
from Tuesdays election. Owing to the
onc-sided character of the vote, there
was entire lack of interest and the
election officers are slower than usual in
forwarding the returns. The indications
are that when the entire vote is counted,
it will show republican gain.
The defeat of Gov. James II. Peabody,
rep, by Alya Adams, dem, for Governor
Of Colorado is conceded by republican
State Chairman Failey. The democrats
have elected John F. Shsiroth Congress
man-at-large and have a majority Of II
in the Legislature on joint ballot.
Complete returns from almost every
county in West Virginia and careful esti-
mates on the others give w. NJ. o. Daw-
son, republican nominee for governor,
majority of 1850.
Upon the face of unofficial returns.
Roosevelt has carried Maryland by 8 plu.
rality of l26. The actual result will not
be known until the official count now in
progress, has been made. Both republican
and democratic chairmen are now claim
ing the State. Another situation result
ing from the closeness of the vote IN
Maryland is the probability of mixei
electoral vote from the State, and the
definite facts in this respect will not be
known until the official count has been
made.

st. Petersburg, Nov. lit is learn
ed that conference Of high importance
between representatives of the govern
ment, the various 5ourses and leaders IN
the agricultural world of Russia will
meet here shortly to discuss the check
ing of the expectation of grain. The
government desires to limit the exporta-
ton on the ground that it is immoral to
send grain from the country while mil
lions of Russians are suffering the ravages
OF famine. The spectators and farmers
oppose the idea of limitation, as they
fear they will thereby lose their present

Atrocious Triple Murder.

Auburn, California, Nov. ll-Last
night, at the home of Julius Weber, a
wealthy brewer, Mrs. Weber and her 10
year-old daughter, Bertha, AID son Paul,
aged years, were attacked by an un-
known assassin with knife and revolt
yer. Immediately afterw ards the house
was set on fire and the bodies left to be
cremated. The fire was discovered by
neighbors who rushed to the assistance,
and found Mrs. Weber lying in the en-
trance hall with bullet wound in her
breast. She died a few minutes later.
While one OF the fire fighters was search
ing room, Paul with his face and arms
sashed to shreds, rushed to him. The
lad was also terribly burned, and he
died soon after being removed from the
house. Bertha was found about an hour
later. She was terribly burned and had
bullet hole in her breast. Adolph
Weber, 20 years old, was down town at
the time of the terrible affair, and es-
capped. Nothing has been seen of the
elder Weber, and his body is thought to
be in the rufus. Officers believe the
fiendish deed was the work of mailman
as no evidences of robbery are at hand.
The Weters were very prominent, social
", and were leaders in the community.

sour, against Mr.. Roosevelt; hence the
latter's sorrow.
