SINK ALL WARSHIPS'
Japs Completing Their Devastating
Work at Port Arthur.
TO DESTROY ALL VESSELS IN HARBOR
After Torpedo Boat Destroyers Have
Been Put Out of the Way Guns
VIII be Directed Against
Steamers and Transports.

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 dispatch from
Toxic and Shanghai giving unofficial
reports the crews of all the Russian
warshibs in the harbor Of Port Arthur
were landed and apparently no effort
was made to move the vessels. The
Japanese will now turn their atten-
ton to the torpedo boat destroyers,
and when these have been destroyed
the guns will be directed against
steamers and transports in the har-
Dor.
Mail advices to Japan describing the
capture of 203-Meter hill state that
the Japanese drenched the timber
works Of the trenches with kerosene
and started furious fire, which was
famed by a strong gale. The Japa-
nese advance was very slow. They
were obliged to make roads with bags
of earth. 1t was sudden decision
to make a night attack that brought
victory to the Japanese.
In the fighting Of November 30 the
second son of Gen. Nogi was killed
on 2O9-Meter hill. Gen, Nogi's eldest
son was killed in the battle of Nam
shan hill and he is now childless,
Russian Shrapnel Defective.
Mukden, Dec. 9.-The Russians have
experienced much difficulty with their
shrapnel, which should have effectu-
ally checked the Japanese attacks dur
ing the battle of Shakhe, but failed
In many cases. Some of the consign-
ments of shrapnel sent to the front
appear to have been almost worth
less-not from any radical defect in
the Russian time fuse, as that has
proved throughout the war to be a
very satisfactory device, but from
poor construction Of the shells.
Russian soldiers are living under
ground in preference to the filthy Chi
nese houses. Complete quiet prevails
and the general expectation is that
the present quarters will be main
tanned for the winter.
st. Petersburg Papers Are Frantic
st. Petersburg, Dec. 9.-The newspa-
pers here are still urgently pressing
the campaign in favor Of the immedi-
ate reinforcement Of Admiral Rojest-
vensky's squadron. he proposition to
send out the Black sea feet meets
with popular favor, irrespective OF the
diplomatic difficulties in the way, and
in this fashion sentiment is being
adroitly directed against the foreign
office and admiralty, which is evidently
the real object Of the promoters OF the
agitation.

Reviews Enterprise appreciated.

Commenting upon the quickness with
which this paper gave the city election
returns to the people last week the
Mankato Daily Free Press says: It
was the New Ulm Review that came to
the front on Wednesday with the news
of the election in that city. The cleo
ton occurred on Tuesday and on
Wednesday morning The Review came
out with full account of the battle of
the ballots and the result in each ward
tabulated in up-to-date style. Several
columns of interesting reading matter
were put between the rules, and all
followed by numerous spicy paragraphs
which must have read we'll to the VIC
torious candidates, but to the defeated
we'll, why dwell upon things that are
sad to some folks. The New Ulm Re-
view certainly displayed a good deal
of enterprise on this particular oc-
casion. It is frst-rate newspaper
every week.

MAYOR TALKED TO THEM.
Newly Elected Executive Visits
With Aldermen.
Wants Peace and Harmony in His
Administration.
Discussion of Telephone Matter is
Without Result.

Mayor Charles Silverson attended
the city councils April meeting last
Wednesday evening and he and the
aldermen exchanged courtesies. On
behalf of his associates President Wd.
Eibner congratulated Mayor Silver
son upon his election and promised
the cooperation of the council, and
then the city's new executive responded
with brief address. He declared his
intention to do everything in his power
to work in harmony with the aldermen,
as he desired to maintain the most
friendly relations. He considered him
self, and they as we'll, as servants of
the people, and for this reason they
should cooperate and all work for the
interests of New Ulm.
The most important thing up for
consideration at the meeting was the
matter Of granting the franchise to the
company which purposes competing
with the Minnesota Central. Apropos
of this the council rendered the follow
ing report:
''The undersigned, as a committee Of
the whole to investigate the matter OF
the application of the Farmers Mutual
Telephone company for certain fran.
chise privileges in the city of New Ulm,
respectfully report that after investi'
eating said matter in detail, we deem
it for the best interests of the city OF
New Ulm that said application be
denied.'
This report was signed by all the
aldermen and adopted but upon the
arrival of City Attorney Jos. A. Eek
stein later in the evening that official
criticized the action of the council. He
gave as his opinion that an excellent
opportunity was presented to the coun-
ell to enact an ordinance which should
compel the Minnesota Central to grant
certain concessions. Thereupon the
aldermen rescinded their action and
reOpened the matter.
Reports of the waterworks, electric
light and the fire departments, and the
financial statement of the city, were
read and Clerk Schilling requested
that a committee be appointed to ex-

PAID DEARLY FOR DUCKS
Comfrey Men Fined For Violating the
Game Laws. $3.50

Last Sunday afternoon Messrs. acob
Thompson, the Industrious and popu-
lar buttermaker at the Farmers Co.
operative Creamery, and j. G. Holm,
our equally popular and, well-known
stock-buyer and farmer, drove into the
country for little recreation, taking
along their shot guns and dogs. Hunt
ing was not very good that afternoon,
but while endeavoring to entertain
themselves as well as possible, they
were confronted by what proved to be
duly appointed officer of the law,
known to the public as game warden.
The boys realizing that they were
on the wrong side of the game law,
turned over what state property the
law would say they had secured, which
was one duck, shot by Mr.. Thompson,
and four ducks shot by Mr.. Holm, and
according to promise, went to Spring
field Tuesday afternoon and settled
for the birds before Justice Peterson,
the fine being $1,000 for each bird, and
the costs, which amounted to $500.
While no officer of the law should
be criticised for doing his duty, the
report is generally circulated that the
warden who was so vigilant in looking
after the states interests as above
mentioned, is credited with being
something of hunter himself, but in
this instance appears to have beer

Very general satisfaction is ex-

it is conceded that Mr.. Bobleter's VIC

the fact that this party's wounds still
rankle is a source of anything but re-

with neglect of duty and failure to
support Schilling, deceives no one but
himself. During the fight it was COM
