town buildings were badly smashed by

was slight. All the shipping in the har-

to the injuries they had sustained by

Proposals for the surrender of Port Ar
thur were first made December %, at
council Of war. Gen. StOessel was in
favor of surrender, but some of his gen
eral officers were bitterly opposed to it.
The regimental officers and the troops
were not consulted. The first news they
had of the surrender was after Gen.
Stoessel had communicated with the
japanese.
The scenes following the surrender
was disgraceful. Drunken soldiers filled
the streets and refused to obey their Of
ficers. Many Of them destroyed the
guns upon the positions they had de-
Tended and came into the city without
permission. The infantry protested that
the fortress had been given away. They
threw their rifles and ammunition into

MAY CARRY WAR INTO CHINA.
Cars Army VIII No Longer Confne It
self to Manchuria

Washington, d. c., Jan. 16.-Russia
declares that the Chinese government is
guilty Of fragrant disregard of its duties
as a neutral. The Russian notification
of this was sent to the powers so that
they might make strong representations
both in Pekin and in Toxic, in the inter
est of Chinese neutrality.
The moving reason for Russia,s action
is the apprehension of an uprising by the
Chinese as result Of the fall of Port
Arthur. The Chinese were greatly inn
pressed by this and now look upon the
Japs as invincible.
That the Russian warning will be
sufficient is doubted. IN order that no
charges Of violation Of faith could be

PREPARE FOR COAL STRIKE
United Mine Workers Convention at
Indianapolis Will Plan for
War

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 14.-Miners of
bituminous and anthracite coal are ar
irving for their national convention,
which will begin Monday morning. On
account of the two-year agreement no
joint meeting with operators will be held
this year to fix a scale. William Abra-
ham, member Of Parliament and treas
urer Of the Miners Federation Of Great
Britain, is here to address the conyen-
ton.
Prepare for Strike.
It is anticipated that precautionary
preparations for another great struggle
between the anthracite coal operators
and the United Mine Workers will be
laid. The convention will devote a part
of its time to planning for q war foot
ing for the organization, so that 1t will
be able to meet and make demands of
the anthracite operators on April l,
1906. The miners want:
/. Recognition Of union.
:. joint contract, such existing IN
the principal bituminous districts, covering
at least 4 year.
8. The adoption of the check-of system
by the anthracite companies by which they
as the bituminouS operators now do, Will
collect the union dues at the mine.
Million Dollar War Fund.
The plans to put the organization on
a war footing provide for a full 81 ,0OO,-
900 treasury fund, a thorough organiza-
ton In the anthracite districts and the
pitting Of the bituminous operators
against the anthracite operators.
BY changing the southwestern district
contract SO that it will expire on April /,
1906, instead of July 1, 1905, the miners
organization now has its working con-
tracts i'll the districts that produce fully
80 per cent. Of the steam and bituminous
coal Of the country, expiring on the same
day that the anthracite strike award
expires-April 1, 1906.
Can Shut Down All Mines.
1t is now in such a position that with
out breaking and working contract it will
be able to pit the bituminous operators
against the anthracite, or in case OF Il
strike, bring about practically q suspen-
sion of coal mining in the United States,
shutting down the anthracite and btu
minouS mines alike.
1t is not unlikely that the convention
this year will impose a strike fund tax,
or some other special assessment by
which funds will be gathered in during
the next year for any emergency that
may arise in the bituminous and anthra-
cite districts beginning April 1, 1906.
German Mills Forced to Close.
Essen, Germany, Jan. 14.-Several of
the steel works are preparing to shut
down because of the increased scarcity
of coal and the prospect of a long strike.
Gendarmes who were dispensing strik-
ers at the North Star line in Horsten-
mark today were stoned. They sabered
some Of the rioters. A number of
gendarmes and strikers were injured, but
there were no fatalities.

HORSES ON A MOLASSES DIET.
Explanatian of the Fine Teams Of {
Brooklyn Sugar Refinery.

The trucking horses used by a big
sugar refining firm in Brooklyn are such
tine, big, sleek-looking animals that their
passage through the streets attracts at
tentlon ana horsemen generally believe
that the cost of keeping them in such
condition must be considerably above the
average.
That is not the case, however for, in
the stable Of the firm an experiment Of
mixing molasses with the feed has been
made and the plan has been found 10 be
not only extremely economical but also Of
exceptional value in producing nourish-
ment. 1t costs only 81 cents, a day to
feed these fine horses which range from
100 to 1900 pounds in weight. This, ac-
cordIng to experts, is from ~ TO q per
cent. cheaper than the old system of
maintaining the stock on cats and hay
entirely.
This is what the sugar refinery horses
eat: In the morning they get quart and
a half of Indian cOrnmeal, q quart OF
wheat bran, seven pounds Of cut hay and
a quart and a half of sugar house syrup
which remains after all possible crystal
llzatlon of sugar has taken place.
AT noon each horse gets four or five
quarts of oats and the night ration is the
same as that in the morning, except that
hVe pounds of loose hay is placed in the
stall in addition
The hygienic value of the moIassas.
feed formula is proved by an experiment
which was made on two rundown horses
that had been kept upon ordinary ra-
lions. Their weights were 800 anu 925
pounds when they were put on the mo-
provement in weight and health At the
end of six weeks the smaller had gained
200 pounds and the other was 1S1
pounds heavier.-New York Sun.

WATCH rs MARKED B. Il.
Question as to Whether It Belonged to
BENJAMIN or BrittOn Harrison.

The old-fashoned gold watch found
many feet below the bed of the Wabash
river by workmen on the Big Four
bridge at Terre Haute, Ind, and which
bears the engraved name OF s'B. Harri-
SON. and is supposed to have been the
property originally of Benjamin Harrison
of Virginia, signer of the Declaration OF
independence and father of Gen. Will
liam Henry Harrison, VINO was supposed
to have inherited the watch and lost It.
is now believed to have been owned by
Britton Harrison, second mayer of Terre
Haute. 1t was found by the men in the
caisson by the side of an Indian toma-
hawk. Near the site of the bridge was
Fort Harrison, built by Gen. Harrison
when he was moving up the Wabash
river in his campaign against Tecumseh
in 1881. Gen. Harrison was at the fort
for a year and was succeeded by Maj
Zachary Taylor. The fort thus had the
singular distinction of having been under
the command of two men who afterward
became Presidents of the United States.
If the watch was lost by Britton Harri-
son it was lost not less than sixty years
ago. Relatives are trying to ascertain
if he owned such a watch. A son In Du-
luth has been written to for information.

MINERS FEAR WAGES
WILL BE LOWERED.
Convention at Indianapolis Hears That
There Is a Great Scarcity
of Work

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 16.-The six
teenth annual national convention of
the United Mine Workers Of America
was opened today by President Mitchell
in Tomlinson hall. Nearly 600 delegates
we're III their seats, representing every
one Of the twenty-five districts. The larg-
est delegations were from the central dis
tricts.
Reports from the districts show
shortage in work compared with previous
years. The approaching joint confer
cnce of the Central Pennsylvania district
at Altoona is being considered with some
anxiety by the mine workers. 1t is be-
ieved the operators will endeavor TO
force heavy reduction in the scale.
The convention is expected to take some
action anticipating such a condition.
