Expects Port To Fall.

Philadelphia. Pa. Dec. 30.-Mr.
Matare cuzuka. master engineer and
the leading transportation oficial Of
the japanese government. believes
that Port Arthur's fall Is only a ques-
ton Of a few days now. He made
this assertion at Broad Street station
where he called TO pay his respects
to A. J. Cassatt. president OF the
Pennsylvania road yesterday.
II am satisfied from what I know
OF the plans Of the Japanese generals
and the progress OF the siege 10 date
that Port Arthur will. In all proba-
bility. fall within a week" were the
exact words OF Mr.. Cuzuka.
II am satisfied also that the fall OF
the fortress will not end the war as
many expect" added Mr.. Cuzuka.
THE japanese government Is too prac
teal TO look for any such result.
The problems OF transportation are
too serious 10 permit OF any heavy
lighting or important movements OF
troops In Manchuria until spring sets
in"
Mr.. Cuzuka. who is in receipt Of
recent advices from Japan. had much
to say OF the Russian fleet now on the
way to the scene OF war.
From what ! have heard Of the
movements Of the Baltic fleet I ex-
pect It to be struck by a japanese
squadron" declared Mr.. Cuzuka.
They may be exchanging shots at
this minute. | am satisfied by reason
OF my knowledge OF the marine re-
sources OF Japan that our feet must
come on victorious.
Even II the opposing fleets should
be OF equal strength the long practice
in the handling OF guns and ships
should give the japanese an adyant-
age that could not help but make for
victory"

NEGRO KILLED OYER
A TEN CENT PIECE
Jesse Ingram Shot byRufe Neece
Last Night.
Killing Occurred Near Oaks I'm the
COunty-Neece Managed
to Escape.
WARRANT ISSUED FOR MURDER

Jesse Ingram. aged 81, was shot
and killed last night by Rufe Niece.
aged 23, at a church entertainment
near Oaks Station, down the ", C..
and St. l.. about twelve miles from
Paducah. Both are colored and In
sram was shot twice in the left
hreast. one ball penetrating the
heart. -
The news of the tragedy was
brought to the city this morning by
Isom Parham. an uncle of the dead
man. He did not see the killing. and
seems TO know little about the case
except that the original cause Of the
trouble was a ten cent piece. Tues
day night, 1t seems from what Par
ham says, a church party was held al
the school house, and Ingram and
his wife attended. At the conclusion
Of festivities Ingram would pay but
one dime, declining to pay for his
wife. Niece was the collector. and
they quarreled over Ingram's failure
to pay the other dime.
Last night another entertainment
was held in a house near Parham's
home. The quarrel was renewed. and
fight ensued. Niece had a pistol
and shot Ingram through the breast
twice. ingram had no weapon except
rock, HIS uncle claimed. but Niece,
who is slightly cut, says the dead
man had knife.
The shooting broke up the dance.
and the dead man was left where he

This afternoon at 1880 o'clock
Niece was arrested by Officer John
Eessian who met him coming to the
city hall with a friend to surrender.
He refuses to make a statement 9TH
er than that Ingram cut him on the
left arm. Niece had him arm dress
Ell this afternoon when he appeared
at the city hall. He has employed at
torneys and his lawyers have in
structed him not to make a state
ment. He says the shooting was done
in self defense and when he was
brought into the presence of Judge
Sanders and informed that he was
for killing a man. replied,
'Yes Judge. that's right"
He appeared to take the matter
very lightly and was not in the least
about his arrest. He is in
Jail pending a preliminary trial to-
morning.
Coroner Grow left this afternoon
at 1890 o'clock TO hold the inquest.
Neece's story, 1t developed this af-
ternoon after his arrest. is probably
a fabrication.
County Physician Pendley, who
dressed the wound, says that it is
from a pistol ball, and that the ne
sro's coat is burned. showing that
he shot himself. possibly trying to
shoot through his arm, or possibly
with the hope of making out case
