WILL LEAVE PORT ARTHUR.
The Russian Garrison Goes to Japan As
Prisoners Of War.

TOXIC, Jan. 3.-General Stoessell
has cabled the emperor of Russia ask
ing permission for the officers to give
their parole. The capitula alton terms
insist that the Russian rank and file
of the garrison of Port Arthur will
come to Japan as prisoners of war.
The japanese took possession OF a
number Of the forts of Port Arthur to-
day. The Russian officers and off.
cials will be permitted to return to
Russia under parole, the officers re-
tanning their side arms.
General Stoessell is being sharply
criticised for destroying the Russian
warships, attempting to choke the en-.
trance to the harbor of Port Arthur,
and dispatching the torpedo boat de.
stroyers to Chez Foo subsequent to
his offer to surrender the fortress.
CHE Foo, Jan. 3.-Some interesting
statistics concerning the defense Of
Port Arthur were brought here by the
8otilla of Russian torpedo boat de.
ssroyers which carried numerous
chests containing complete records of
General Stoessell's army.
Originally the army numbered 3d.
600. Eleven Thousand have been
killed, $1,000 are wounded or sick,
while 5000 remained in. the forts, of
whom, however, 1000 we're unable to
fight.
1t is learned that when General
Stoesse.y wrote TO General Nogi re-
gardlng she surrender OF the fortress,
be said:
II have 5000 men in the forts and
5000 of these are able to fight. Myou
do not accept my psoposal. these men
will die fighting, bus it will cost you
three times their numbe. to kill
them"
During the siege 65' per cent.. of the
garrison we're put out Of action. This
remarkable fact "a due to wounded
mez returning to the irons. Cases
have been reported where men have
.gope. TO the hospitals seven times, al
,ways returning to the f,ont. The num-

Alleged Land frauds. E1 Montana

~ASHINGTON. Jan 5.-To provide
an additional safeguard against pub.
Nc land frauds, the general land. Office
is seeking as far as possible to have
its special agents investigate every
lana entry case before it passes to
pasent. This policy, which alnsady is
in full practice, has borne good re-
suits, and patents have been withheld
wherever the slightest ground. for sus-
picion has been found. The public
land services vas not long ago divided
into nine Inspection districts, with ar
agent in charge of each. In cOnnec-
tion with the recent land fraud devel-
opments, some interest att aches to tEs
investigation of alleged fraudulent
desert land entries on Montana, on
which special agents Nave been an-
gagged.
Senator Gibson, Of that state, many
months ago, sent two letters to the
commissioners OF the gcnerel lana Of
Zee, forwarding complaints of citizens
that there were frauds in this class OF
entries. The matter was taken up,
and desert land entries since then
have been rigidly investigated. The
complaints were that the lands entered
were not taken in good faith. were no,
being irrigated and were not entered
for cultivation purposes rs required
by law. 1t was stated at the general
land office tina, the complaints were
more general thar specific, but tina
cases of this sor have been under in,
ves,iya,ion in Montana aud elsewhere
for some months.

The Healthiest Cities.

The mortality table compiled by the
census bureau show that about seven.
teen out Of every 1000 of the popula.
tion Of the United States die each
year. If these figures are correct,
then the United States is q of the
healthiest countries on the globe, be.
ing excelled ia this respect only by
Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The
most healthful part of the United
States seems to lie in the Central
West and in the northern regions OF

rate of thirty.owo per 1000 is due to

REGULATING RAILROAD RATES.

Just now congress is up against q
question which promises to he very
much u live one until it is settled and
settled right. 1t involves the control
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion or by congress of railrOad freight
rates so far as fixing reasonable
charges for service is concerned. The
public press of the east through their
special correspondents at Washington
and the associated press, have been
telling their readers that II battle
royal is to take place in the national
capital this winter between powerful
interests on two sides of this question.
There are to be high priced railroad
attorneys galore who will represent
the great company interests which are
opposed to any new legislation which
will tend to add to the powers OF the
Inter- Estate Commerce Commission in
controlling rates or interfering In
their business. There are also wealthy
stock interests and other business
combinations only less important as
capitalists than the railroad cOmpan-
les that are quite as much determined
to obtain legislation that will result
in a practical control OF railroad
freight rates. There is the Inter
State Commerce Commission itself,
which in repeated annual reports to
has stated its absolute in
ability under supreme court decisions
to do much of anything in the way OF
regulating railway affairs, even to ad'
hitting that they cannot stop the Civ
ing of secre, rebates to favored II
toners by the railroad companies.

GOVERNOR TOOLE's MESSAGE.

The message delivered to the ninth
legislative assembly by Governor
Toole 10 the subject of criticism BY
some of bis political opponents, who
complain that it lacks detailed in
structions 10 Montana lawmakers a:
to what the state executive believes
should constitute the work of the SEES
sion. As the political campaign is a
thing of the past and Governor Toole
represents the choice of a majority OF
Montana voters, his official acts
should be viewed from q non.partis an
standpoint.
1t will be admitted by honest repub-
hcans that the platform pledges upon
which their party candidates were re.
Gently elected were suggested by the
evident popularity of the reforms
urged by Governor Toole two years
ago. Most of the citizens of Montana
who take an active interest in the
aft airs of this commonwealth are
familiar with the views expressed by
Governor Toole at that time, and
which he has reiterated in public
speeches of more recent date. Mem.
bers of the legislature are assumed to
be conversant with the governors
position 10 these matters, and to have
given them careful consideration prior
to entering upon their official duties,
and it was not necessary for the state
executive to make a grand stand play
by delivering an extended speech upon
subjects about which his views are so
we'll known.
In referring to the desirability Of
reform legislation promised in the
platforms of both political parties,
Governor Toole con%gratulates Mon.
tana lawmakers upon the unanimous en- |
dorsement of the several propositions.
Having been recognized as needed
and m%eritorious legislation, the pro.
posed reforms receive brief mention
only in the governors remarks. 1t is
for the members of the legislature to !
devise and enact measures that will
effect the purpose desired.
One of the features of the governors |
message deals with the financial re.
sources OF the state government, and
conveys the information that, while
the constitution permits an indebted
ness of 800, 600 to be incurred, there
has been a deficit of considerably
more than that amount. In dealing
with this problem, republican mem
bers of the Legislature will remember
that their state platform promised re.
duced expenses in the administration
of public affairs, and q decrease in
the tax burden.
There are some things in the plat
form upon which majority members of
the legislature we're elected, that do
not receive any mention in the gov
ernor's message. 1t is believed, how.
ever, that they will not be forgotten
by representatives. of the political
party which made these pledges, aud
that the promised legislation will be
undertaken.
