WHAT OF THE SQUADRON?
Will Proceed No Further-Ex-
pense of War to Russia.

Paris. Jan. 3.-French military cirt'
les regard the surrender of Port Arthur
as rendering Gen. Kuropatkin's posi-
tion increasingly dangerous. as the We
sieging army of $4,000 men is now re-
leased and will reinforce the Japanese
army in the north. II is expected that
Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron Will
proceed no further in the direction OF
the seat of war; The hope is expressed
in some official quarters that the sur
render of the fortress will hasten
pace, but the prevailing view is that
the fall will accentuate Russias resist
ance. Some Paris journals assert that
Japanese occupation Of Port Arthur
will constitute menace to all Europe,
which the chancelleries should prepare
to meet.
The expenses of the war to Novem-
Der 90 amounted to S23S000. 900, Of
which $161 100000 was for the army,
SAL 200, 900 for the navy and $35,5OO,O0O
for various military requirements,
making about $22.5OO.0OO per month.
The outstanding credits up to the same
time were S126.O00.000, of which $685.
100000 was Off the army, S31 900, 900
for the navy and $12,000.00O for mis-
cellaneous expenses. That makes the
total war expenditures for the year
$346 ,000, 900.

Policy of Give md Take.

Some of the railroad presidents ex-
press their belief that If the interstate
commerce commission is authorized to
change rates, found to be unjust, pool
ing should be made legal. With such
a change in the law they would per-
haps be satisfied. AS long as the in
terstate commerce commission could
change the rates there would be less
objection to pooling on the part Of
the public.

LIEUT.. GEN. COUNT NoGI.

lessly sealed in its rocky fortress, has
surrendered. At nine o'clock last night
Gen. Nogi, commandig the Japanese
army Of investment, received from the
Russian general, Stoessel, note say
ing that he found further resistance
useless and asking for a meeting to
arrange terms of capitulation. The
note was simple and direct. The Jap
anese general Immediately accepted
the offer to surrender and named COM
missioners to confer with representa-
tives of the Russian commander.
The defense of the position which
fell to 1t as a heritage after the Chi
nese-Japanese war has cost Russia
practically its entire fleet in those wa
tiers. Its ships lie from Port Arthur's
inner basin to Chemulpo in Korea and
along the Shantung peninsula, bat
tered hulks of once proud vessels, or
ANONYMOUSLY dismantled, informed in
neutral Chinese harbors. Save the
three or four cruisers and some lesser
craft that lie in the icebound refuge
of Vladivostok, not warship now flies
the Russian cross in the waters of the
northern orient. And Japan, too has
had its losses in the long drawn out
operations. Mines have struck from
Admiral Togo's fleet list many fine
ships and smaller vessels since Feb
ruary s, when he hurled his feet at
the Russian ships in Port Arthur's
roadstead.
Dead md Wounded In Heaps.
Chefoo, Jan. 3.-The Russian officers
who arrived here from Port Arthur
upon the torpedo boat destroyers which
escaped from that place have single
word for what the fortress has been
for the last five days, during which the
Japanese have bombarded and assault
ed 1t ceaselessly night and day. They
use that word unprofanely and con-
vincingly, declaring that the horrors
witnessed were beyond description.
There was not single spot in the
town which was safe from shrapnel.
Many of the hospitals were hit and the
wounded refused to stay in them.
Some lay in the streets on heaps of
debris, exposed to the bitterly cold
weather, and some staggered back to
the front, hurting stones and defying
the Japanese till taken prisoners or
death came mercifully to end their
sufferings. There were five days and
nights of this state of affairs. The
stock of ammunition which had been
carefully husbanded for months was
almost gone and 1t was all too evident
that Japan was about to grasp the
prize which had cost IL an army of
men and countless treasure. The cap
ture Of 203-Meter hill by the Japanese
was the garrison's first vital wound.
Then came the capture Of Rihlung,
Sungshu and Panlung mountains.
There was no stopping the Japanese,
who lived in droves and fought with
the last instructive twitch of the
nerves, with eyes fixed upon the
Liaotie mountain. Stoessel had killed
a Japanese army and exhausted his
ammunition, but they became more
furious, ferocious and fateful than
ever. So the white flag went up"
All Russian warships Destroyed.
Chefoo, Jan. 3.-Advices reaching
Chefoo say that the Russian battle
ships Retvitzan and Poltava and the
protected cruiser Pallada caught fire
Monday morning and are still burning
an dthat in the afternoon the Russians
blew up the battleship Seyastopol.

Real Hero of Port Arthur.

When the time shall come for the
dispassionate pen of the historian to
write the record of the war between
Russia and Japan one grimly gallant
figure must stand forth in bold relief.
In all the stark story Of bloodshed
from the first battle of men there has
never been a more pathetically heroic
chieftan than Stoessel, the defender OF
the torn fortress at Port Arthur. The
songs of the troubadours and the state
