Chefoo, Nov. 8.--The Japanese be-
sieging Port Arthur. ignoring Lieuten-
ant General Stoessel, have offered
terms OF surrender TO the Russian
soldiers. according to advices leaving
Port Dalny yesterday. In the mean
while the ceaseless activity Of picks
and spades continues. The Japanese
are gradually advancing their trenches
which spell an inexorable fate to the
watching Russians. A Russian pris-
oner captured October rs said the
troops composing the garrison Of Port
Arthur were In want and dispirited.
They saw the uselessness OF the strug-
gle and In the end the Japanese vic-
tory was ultimately inevitable.
The soldiers, according to the pris-
oner, see no reason to prolong the re-
gistance which brings glory to their Of
hcers. but chiefly hardship and death
to them. Upon hearing the prisoners

having promised to deliver 1t In mercy

Kuropatkin's retreats aud his inabil-
fly to make an impression on the army
of Field Marshal Oyama, to say noth-
ing about the thought Of his forces

pointed out that the second Pacific
squadron had just started on It's slow
voyage. Continuing it called attention
to the resistless advance of Japanese
trenches making it a matter Of weeks
when the Japanese would walk into thu
main Russian strongholds. In conclu-
ment to all who surrender, saying it

darkness Of the early morning of No

prisoner, who regained the Russian

comrades would answer within a few
days. He said the temper Of the men

to dispel among the Russian troops
the impression fostered by their Off
GERS that massacre would follow VIC
tory.
The company to which the prisoner
belonged, originally numbered 500 and
now totals about thirty men. AS the
Japanese are sufficiently near the sum-
nits of the hills to render tunneltng
highly practicable, much of this work
is now being done. The Russians are
building counter tunnels. Whichever
side finds it's tunnel under the enc
my's, blows UP the latter's tunnel. To
prevent explosives being rolled down
into their trenches the Japanese have
made ranges or hillocks of earth above
the trenches. Five Russian mine

Topeka, Kas., Nov. 8.--Returns COM
ing In after a dragging fashion support
the republican claims. There is no
doubt of the success Of the national
republican ticket and the republican
state ticket is conceded to be safely
elected. The fight has been made on
state issues and in legislative districts
to the exclusion Of national issues and
local feeling and interests have been
involved to an extent unknown hereto

may be some changes In the legisla-

would the present general assembly re-
fer that task to the Legislature which
meets less than go days before the end

worthy that the amendment extends
the terms of all the members, both OF

The terms of those senator's who were
elected last year will be by the amend
ment extended to five years instead of
four, and they will be members OF the

until the cold weather comes. Good
weather is quite az apt to bring out
u big vote as poor weather. and the

merit will not be materially affected by

wetumpka, Nov. 16.--(Special. )--
 Wetumpka's fires are occurring with
 such frequency it Is thought very few
 votes, If any, will be cast against 8
 bond issue for the installation of wa-
 ter works.
 In the fire Tuesday evening the sta-
 ble owned by Stathan Goree and rent
 ed and run by Warren DeBardelaben
 was burned to the ground, as was also & new cottage owned by Judge H. J. Lancaster and occupied by Mir. and Mrs. Warren DeBardelaben. It was
 only by heroic effort that a large cot
 ton warehouse of Hohenberg's was
 saved. Four horses were burned, three
 of them owned by MT. DeBardelaben.
 one by Will Cousins. Five or six tons
 of hay and other feed stun were con- stunned. The contents of a ware room
 connected with the stable were con-
 sumed. In this ware room country
 merchants had stored flour, neat goods, farming implements, moving
 machines, etc., which had been ship
 ped to them by rail. All of the ve-
 hicles were rolled out of the stable.
 Mir. and Mrs. DeBardelaben's house.
 hold effects were nearly all saved. :.
 Mrs. DeBardelaben and a child, less
 than twenty-four hours old, being car- ried to the nearby residence of Mir. Collier.
 MT. and Mrs. Claud Thomas have been routed by fire twice within 8 month. They were boarding at the Riverside Inn when it burned October IS. since which time they have been with MT. and Mrs. DeBardelaben. In- surance on the stable to the amount of $2,000 was carried, the residence being insured for S1,000. MT. DeBardelaben carried about $1,500 on his stock and
 feed stuff.
 Vast quantities of cotton were rolled out of the warehouse, for the fourth time from fire the hearses and under taking supplies of C.. K. McMorris were moved, many of the court house furnishings were carried out, and all this traffic together with wild loose horses caused much confusion in the streets. A well known negro, Nat
 Langford, dropped and was reported to be dead. After being revived from an apparently lifeless state, he became frantic. requiring a number of negroes to hold him while two doctors at- | tended him. M. J. Ramsey, whose residence was
 in imminent danger of being burned. | stepped on something which went through his shoe and cut his foot bad | ly. thereby disabling him.
 During the progress of the fire the | warehouse caught repeatedly, being in
 each instance put out by the bucket | brigade.
