Reasons for the Surrender.

Reasons for the Surrender.
Che Foo, Jan. 3, midnight-Com-
mander kartzow of the Russian tor
pedo boat destroyer Vlastninl, which
is now here, in an interview last night
said:
Port Arthur falls of exhaustion
exhaustion not only of ammunition but
of men.
'The remnant of the garrison left
had been doing the work of heroes for
five days and five nights, but yester-
day they reached the limit of human
endurance.
"In the casemates of the forts one
saw everywhere faces black with
starvation. exhaustion and nerve,
strain. You spoke to them but they
did not give answer: only staring
dumbly.
"The lack of ammunition alone
would not have suggested the seeking
of terms. Scant ammunition had
long been common in the fortress and
during the past month many of the
forts had nothing with which to re.
turn the fire of the enemy.
1.-THE Russians sat in the classmates.
firing not more than once to 200
shots sent by the Japanese. Then.
when the assault came, they repulsed
the enemy with bayonets. But the
men themselves. having existed for
three months on reduced rations, were
SO worn that it is marvellous they
stood the final strain SO long.
Sunday General Stoessel would
still fight. His wound, which was
IL in hn CT hod
bothering him, but his determination
been diminished
"'But we cannot fight said his gen.
erals. Our men cannot move. They
sleep standing. They cannot see the
bayonets at their breasts. We can or
der, but they cannot obey
"'Then, you generals fght!' said
Stoessel, clenching his fists.
"He seemed fanatical on the subject
but finally he was brought to see rea-
son by the insistence of his subordin-
ates. Admirals Lochinsky and Wren.
Generals Smyrnoff and Fook and many
others, sometimes with broken voices,
urged the step which all had dreaded
so long.
"I am sure Port Arthur would have
sought terms a month ago had 1t not
been for General Stoessel, who, with
bulldog tenacity, repeatedly refused to
permit such action to be taken. He
had told his Emperor that he would
never surrender and he meant to keep
his word.
THE greatest loss suffered by Port
Arthur occurred a fortnight ago, when
Major General Kondratenko was
killed. Officers and men alike regarded
him as the brightest star in Port Ar
thurs armament. When his death be-
came known the fall in the spirits of
the soldiers was plainly visible"

New Sugar Factories.

By the opening of the next sugar
campaign in the fall of this year, two
more Colorado factories will be ready
TO begin slicing beets. The American
Sugar Beet Company, which built the
plant at Sugar City, and is owned by
the Oxnards, has already begun the
construction of plant at Lamar.
Machinery for the Lamar factory is
to be brought from an abandoned
plant at Norfolk, Nebraska. which the
Oxnards OWL They find that Colo
rado is much superior to Nebraska for
growing sugar beets.
Lamar farmers for several years
have been raising beets which they
have shipped to the Rocky Ford fac
tory. With the building of this new
factory the Rocky Ford plant will be
relieved of part of its burden and
the farmers of that section will be
able to plant and dispose of a larger
acreage at home. The Lamar farm
ers have contracted with the com.
pany to grow 1000 acres for the next
five years. They marketed some 3d.
900 tons Of beets at Rocky Ford the
past year.
The Morey-Boettcher syndicate of
Colorado capitalists, who already con-
troll six sugar factories in the northern
section of the state. are to build fac
tory at Sterling. They have already
filed articles Of Incorporation with the
secretary Of state, and 1t is promised
that the plant shall be in operation by
next October.
The company is to be known as the
Sterling Sugar Company, and is capi-
talized for $750,OO0 The plant will
have a capacity of not less than 600
tons. The directors are c. S. Morey,
Charles Boettcher. M. d. Thatcher, w.
A. Dixon and Charles Waterman.

Russian Torpedo Boats Escape.

Russian Torpedo Boats Escape.
Che Foo, Jan. 3.-9 a. m.-This
morning four Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyers from Port Arthur arrived
here. There are seven Japanese tor.
pedo boat destroyers in the harbor
The Russian torpedo boats, Skory.
Stratni, Viasthini and Serdity, have
been disarmed and the Japanese de-
stroyers which followed them in have
left the harbor.
sick and wounded at Port Arthur, and
that 5000 able-bodied convalescents
man the forts
Besides the vessels mentioned, the
torpedo boat destroyers Smirli and
Boiki and transport left Port Arthur
last night, the latter carrying 500
wounded soldiers, and, according to a
dispatch from Tsingtau, succeeded in
reaching that German port
The departure of the ships was de-
cided upon at the council of war at
which it was determined to negotiate
for surrender of the Fortress Rear
Admiral Wren asked General Stoes-
sells permission to save the destroyers,
ETC., which was readily granted. The
destroyers, the transport and the
launch crept out of the harbor without
encountering the Japanese. 1t was de-
termined to disarm the four destroy
ers. which lashed themselves together.
In the absence of Chinese warship
the commissioner of customs here took
charge of the Russian craft. The lat
ter ordered the crews of the torpedo
boat destroyers and number Of in
valid Russian sailors who we're on
board of them to go to the Chinese
fort, where quarters for them are avail
able. Tonight the customs men and
details from the guardship are pre-
venting foreigners from going on
board the Russian vessels.
The officers Of the Russian torpedo
boat destroyers there report that the
entire town Of Port Arthur has been
destroyed, including the hospital.

Expect Offer Of Peace.

St. Petersburg. Jan. 3.-In diplomatic
circles, where there Is every reason to
believe there is the best information
regarding the plans of the Japanese,
1t is stated that the fall Of Port Arthur
will be promptly followed by an offer
OF peace from Japan.
1t Is understood that strong ef-
fort will be made to have the offer
come through President Roosevelt. 1t
is even suggested that the terms might
include an arrangement which would
give Russia an outlet through the Per
sian gulf.
There is, however. no indication as
to whether an effort to induce Presi-
dent Roosevelt to move in the matter
would b. likely 70 succeed. y

HABITS CHAIN
Certain Habits Unconseiously Formed

An .ngeLious philosopher estimates
that the amount of will power neces-

If it could be transformed. lift

1t sometimes requires higher de-
gree OF heroism to break the chains
OF pernicious habit than to lead
forlorn hope in bloody battle. A
