BITTER CHAPTER ENDS
RUSSIAN OFFICIALS ADMIT PAR.
TlAL WREckINe OF PORT
ARTHUR WARSHIPs.
NEEDS SAILORS AND HEAVY GUNS
GENERAL sToEssEL SAYS FOR.
TREss WOULD FALL ONLY
/ FOR SHIPS AID.

et. Petersburg, Dec, 22.-While de-
clining to give details the admiralty
admits that Russian advices from Port
Arthur sent by General Stoessel sub
stantially confirmed the Japanese ad-
vices of the partial wrecking of the
Russian ships in the harbor and the
censor has been instructed to permit
the publication OF the dispatches. 1t
is claimed that several of the larger
ships and a respectable number of tor
pedo boat destroyers are still seawor-
thy, but they are not being considered
as factor in the coming fight between
Admiral Togos ships and the Russian
second Pacific squadron. The whole
series of misfortunes which has at
tended the Port Arthur squadron is a
bitter chapter in Russian naval annals,
but since the arrival of the latest ad-
vices there has been less disposition
to critioise Rear Admiral Wiren's fail
ure to make a sortie, General Stoessel
having decided that further defense of
the fortress would be impossible if the
guns Of the Warships and the sailors
landed were re-embarked. Had the
ships been able to go out under the
conditions existing they would have
been at the mercy of the Japanese and
have been sacrificed without hope of
inf1icting commensurate damage. If
the fortress is relieved it is believed
that most of the ships will be raised
and saved.
The reports that a Japanese squad
ron of forty vessels had already sailed
to meet the second Pacific squadron
is regarded at the admiralty here as
being incorrect and circulated for a
purpose.

PARDON FOR COLONEL AMEs.
Former Minneapolis Police Superin'

st. Paul, Dec. 22.-Fred w. Ames,
the former Minneapolis police super

years ago to serve six and half years

unconditional pardon at special

Fred w. Ames was convicted of hav-

but the case was appealed to the SUI
preme court and it was not until July
10, 1903, that he commenced serving
his term. His conviction grew out Of

MOST EXTENSIVE OF THE WAR.
Mobilization of Reserves in Seven Rus
sian Districts.


sian Districts.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 22.-Mobiliza-
tion of the reserves has been an
nounced in seven military districts.
This is the third and most extensive
mobilization of the war and will add
about 100000 men to the army in the
Far East. It Is thought that the whole
force can be placed in the field by
spring, when the problem Of food and
fuel will be more easily met and the
transportation Of the troops will create
less stress upon the Transsiberian
railway. 1t will bring General Kuro
patkin's effective force, roughly esti
mated, to 680,e00 men.
The mobilization affects portion of
about half the military districts of
Russia. While some OF the reserve
men called to the colors will be used
to complete the strength Of the regi-
ments going to the front by far the
greater portion will be formed into re.
serve units to replace troops which
have already gone to the Far East.
This year the conscripts taken number
about 100000 men, being about double
the number usually called to the col.
Ors. The number Of young men an
nually liable to military service is over
100000. The new mobilization will
entail additional relief measures for
the families of reserve men, which will
probably be met by increasing the
credits of the ZemstyOs.

Proposed Minnesota Law on Killing

Man fer a Deer.
st. Paul, Dec. pa state law MAX

for hunter TO kill man, mistaking
him for deer, is recommended by the
state game and fish commission, which
adopted it's annual report to Governor
S. r. Van SAINT. The report calls at.
tention to the large number of deaths
each year resulting from the careless
ness of hunters and expresses the
opinion that law of this kind would
reduce the number of such accidents
to a minimum.
"The public is becoming aroused be-
cause of the deaths from accidents by
careless hunters" says the report
while Minnesota has Jared we'll as
compared with some of her sister
states, still the accidents are alto
gether too numerous and our board is
Of the opinion that a law ought to be
passed making it penitentiary Of
fense, manslaughter in the first de-
gree, for one man to kill another in the
woods, mistaling him for a deer, and
that the defense that such killing was
an accident ought not to be considered

twentieth round. 1t was wonderful
fight, with a hurricane pace main
tanned throughout. Both men fought
like tigers throughout the long mill,
Nelson doing most of the leading.
Britt's superior skill earned him the
decision, which was strictly on points.
The San Francisco man was Knocked
down once and received far more pun
fshment than his opponent. Britt re-
peatedly reached Nelson in vulnerable
spots, but the Chicago man always
came back for more, fresh and strong.
Roche's decision was objected to by
Nelson, who declared after the fight
that George siler is the only referee
who is capable of Judging fight on it's
merits.
