Believe Port Arthur Can Hold Out.

ST. Petersburg. Dec 7.-Although
the war Office and admiralty are still
without direct news from Port Ar
thur, confidence In the ability OF the
fortress to hold out continues to be
expressed. Reports from Toxic OF the
burning of battleships and OF heavy
losses by Russians in an attempt to
recSpture 2O3-Metre Hill are con
sldered misleading. According TO a
high officer OF the general stan. the
warshlps would be able to seek shell
ter from the Are from 203-Metre
Hill by anchoring behind Tigers tail
peninsular. Reports that the Rus
SLAMS are clearing the mine fields out
side the harbor are regarded as the
best indication that the squadron is
preparing to move ont TO this an
chorage. where Il will be secure un-
der the protection of the shore bat
teries.
An artillery officer who knows
Port Arthur thoroughly, expresses
the belief that the Japanese will be
unable to hold the summit Of 2o5-
Metre hill on account Of the fire at
Antse and Else forts. which are less
than two miles distant. This Officer
declares II will be impossible for the
japanese to mount guns at the top OF
203-Metrc hill until the ammunition
OF Antse and Else forts is exhaust

Mr.. I. o. Walker, a popular Off

is the only Kentucky delegate to an
important conference held night be-
fore last at Louisville. He returned
last night well pleased with the trip.
The Louisville Herald says:
At the session of the committee on
wooden bridges and trestles Of the
American Railway Engineering and
Maintenance of Way Association,
held yesterday at the Gait House,
specifications for bridge and trestle
timber were thoroughly discussed
and tentatively adopted. A report
will be drawn up today to be sub
mitted to the association when it
meets next March in Chicago.
Those present were |. o. Walker.

bridge, Chicago; Job Tuthill. De-
troit; d. b. Dunn, Atlanta; J. B.
Lindsey. West Pascagoula, Miss; II.
S. Jacoby. Cornell University.
The committee will work today
mainly on the ballasted deck trestle,
of which the Louisville and Nashville
railroad furnishes some of the best
examples.
The association to which the COM
mittee belongs, has 500 members in
all parts of the world who have re-
sponsible charge of the construction
and maintenance Of way Of railroads.
The convention next March will be
the sixth annual.
The Courier-Journal interviewed
MIR. Walker, saying: VA
I. o. Walker. the only Kentucky
member of the committee of the
American Railway Engineering and
Maintenance of Way. which is meet
ing at the Gait House, comes from
Paducah. and is chairman of the
committee.
Railroads are now getting away
from the wooden bridges and tres
Ties" said Mr.. Walker. What is
termed the ballasted deck trestle is
being used extensively by the I'LL
nois Central and the l.. & N. is put
ting in many of this sort. The frame
work, Of timber, supports a concrete
box, and upon this bed is spread the
ballast. To look at IL. when COM
pleted. from above. you never would
know that 1t was a trestle. II looks
just like the track on the solid
ground.
Eyes. all track and bridge work \
Increases in cost with the speed Of
the trains which are to be used. IL
costs more to prepare a track for
fast trains. and more to maintain
1t.
"A subject which has been in some
ways disputed, whether 1t is best to
cross a weak bridge at fast or slow
rate of speed. did not seem to puzzle
Mr.. Walker. He said SLOW
That would be case where 1t
would be best to make haste slowly
and that is the way would take a
train over such a bridge. In addi-
ton to the downward pull Of CRAWL
ty, the pull of the wheels on the rail
Is to be considered. This latter force
Is greater at a high rate of speed"

The Toxic estimate that the Rus

The police are in receipt of a let
ter from Louisville authorities ask
ing about Oscar Hymes, a former
Paducahan who has married again
in Louisville.
Hymes was a sort of tough custo-
mer here, an amateur prize fighter
and well known in the courts. II is
said he served a term in the Illinois
penitentiary for a robbery committed
at Cairo, and after several years of
absence showed up here again and
then went to Louisville.
He lived here with a woman and
was supposed to have been married
to her. He had married again in
Louisville, the Louisville authorities
say. and write to know II he was
ever divorced from the Mosley wom-
an. The record of the court here will
be searched to find the divorce judg-
ment, II any was rendered.
Hymes had been in trouble since
lie arrived in Louisville, 1t seems
and the police are looking after him
rather closely there, from every indi-
cation.
Joe Howard, jamie Webb and Liz
zie Weille. colored, are under arrest
on a breach of the peace charge.
They had fight at Ninth and
Washington streets last night in
which the two women used knives
rather freely, the Webb woman be-
ing cut slightly about the body.
The Weille woman's cloak was slit
ted by the Webb womans knife. The
case will be tried tomorrow.

Will Stevens, plasterer who has
been doing contracting in Paducah,

rion, and says the handwriting is the
same as Stevens although the check
was made payable to another man.

charge and will return without a
requisition, and thinks he will have
no trouble in establishing his limo
cence.
Stevens says he knows absolutely
nothing about tht8heck and the on
ly evidence in the case against him

cab he had lead a quiet life and has

French
 Novelties

Quaint, unique and decidely for eign are these novelties from Paris, which include an almost endless variety of Brooches, Belt Pins, Rib bon Pins, Shirt Waist Sets, Belt Buckles and Hat Pins in both the straight and auto styles.
 To describe these goods on paper would be almost impossible as there are >O many entirely different kinds and they are not at all like the us- ual alleged jewelry.
 Prominent among them may be seen representations of flowers. birds and insects peculiar to France and Germany, besides hundreds of Jeweled articles representing dia- monds, pearls, turquoise, emeralds, 1ubies, etc.
 If you wish to send some distant friend a remembrance that will be very welcome and which at the same time may be easily sent by mail, just look through this show ing.
 The prices are surprisingly low considering the quality.

NO J0IHT STATEHOOD
Protesting Resolutions by the Board
 of Supervisors.

A regular meeting of the board of supervisors was held yesterday at which there was adopted a set of res olutions protesting against the pas ge by the senate of the joint state hood bill. This was done in compliance with request sent by Governor Bro die a week ago. The resolutions are as follows:
 Whereas, there is now pending -n the United States senate q bill providing for the jointure and admission of the territories of Arizona and New Mexico as one state; and
 Whereas, such 5ointure is repugnant to every interest and sentiment of all classes of citizens within the county of Maricopa, irrespective Of political faith or creed, for the following reasons:
 First That all the schools in the county of AIaricopa and in the terri tory are taught solely in the English language;
 Second. That our entire judicial system, including the supreme, dis trict, justice and probate courts, are conducted entirely in the English lan- guage, while q, portion of the educG- tional systems of the territory of New Mexico is conducted in a foreign lap~ guage;
 Third. While the mineral and aSri- cultural resources and development of the territory of Arizona exceed those of the territory of New Mexico, still the population of the territory of New Mexico numerically exceeding that ef the territory of Arizona. those interests which represent and would represent in a new state the great taXpaying districts because of the larger population of that portion Of the new state, now called the territory of Ari- zona, would be dominated and legislat- ed upon by . district whose interests and aims and ideas are foreign to ours; Fourth. That the pee pie of the terri tory of Arizona have labOred arduously and long, wrestling foot by foot from the arid lands, acres upon acres Of fertile pastures and income producing properties and have gtrenuCusly en- deavOred during all these years to raise a high standard Of citizenship of the people of the territory of Arizona and have imbued within our bosoms

BOARD OF GOVERNORS
Demand That Owners of Delinquen:
 Lands Pay Initial Fee.

The board of governors of the Wat CT Users asSociatiOn held a meeting yesterday forenoon at which one mat ter of considerable importance was discussed and action taken that should very seriously concern many who have contracted to subscribe to the stock of the association. That action is well set forth in the following self-explan- atory resolution which was adopted by the board:
 Resolved, that all contracts for sub scription for stock of this association for which the preliminary rayment of ten cents per acre shall not have been paid upon the 18th day of January, 1905, be rejected and returned unac- cepted to the proposed subscribers, and the secretary of the association is di- rected to notify such persons at once of this resolution by mailing them a notice thereof. Provided, that this resolution shall not apply to school lands or lands on the waiting list"
 Secretary Parker says that this reso- lution will affect the owners of about 45, 0G0 acres which are now delinquent or rather on which the initial assess ment of ten cents has not been paid. Payment has been made on about 15O,- O00 acres and the board has net been disposed to press the matter so long as there were ample funds but it is deemed wise now to collect up and get all prospective shareholders on a busi- ness basis.
 A letter was received by the board from President Fowler, written from Chicago. It was partly of a personal nature and partly respecting minor board matters. Mr. Fowler stated that 10 was going on fO aShinptnD
 Another matter discussed was the proposed inspection trip of members of the board over the new Roosevelt road. Several members of the board volun- teered to go at their own expense, af- ter a conference with MT. Hill respect ing the date when the road would be finished and ready for inspection.
