RUSSIANS DON'T KNOW II.
News Of The Fall Of Port Arthuris Kept
From The Public.

st. Petersburg, Jan Awhile there
is no longer any doubt in official cir
cles in ST. Petersburg that the fate OF
Port Arthur has been decided and
General Stoessels long and gallant
defense ended, news of the surrender
has not yet been allowed to reach the
public. Foreign kilograms regarding
the matter have been withheld from
the newspapers, pending the issue OF
the official announcement here. me
public is following the dictates OF its
conscience in this matter, but so far
is entirely unprepared for news which
must prove serious blow when it
comes. The newspapers SO far mere
" intimate that the defense Of the
garrison Is proceeding as usual but
everyone has realized for some time
that the end was approaching and
thore is no question that the majority
il they were prepared BY a prelimln'
ary announcement by the government
could forgive the loss of the fortress
in admiration of the garrlson's heroic
defense.
Possibly some of the hesitation OF
the authorities here to make the an
nouncement of the fall of Port Ar
thur is due to threats and rumors OF
radical demonstrations, coupled with
the absence of the emperor, but 1t is
certain that no demonstration is like
" which could assume serious pro-
portions, and the radical leaders
would be sure to ALLEVIATE the SYM
pathy of even the more liberal Rus
SLAMS il thy chose such moment fol
a revolutionary demonstration.

TO keep STREAMS CLEAR.
Representative Bird Has a Bill Touch
Ing Waterways.

Topeka, Jan. 4, - Representative
Bird, of Shawnee, has formulated a
bill relating to distractions in
streams which, If passed, he says will
save a vast amount of property. 1t
prohibits riparian property holders
from throwing rubbish Of any kind in
creeks or rivers under penalty Of fine
or Imprisonment. 1t also prohibits en-
croachment along waterways. In
January and September Of each year
property owners along waterways
must clear the banks Of all rubbish
and il they fail to do so the road over
seer of that district, or street COM
missioner, if it is In city, shall re-
move the stuff and report 1t to the
county authorities, together with the
cost of removal, and they shall tax
the cost up against the property.
No pile bridges shall be allowed,
except for temporary use, and before
any permanent bridges Of any char
acter are constructed, approval Of The
plans must be secured from the
county commissioners, If in a rural
district, or from the city council, II in
city. This not only reaches public
bridges, but also private and railroad
bridges. Corporations, as well as
people in general, shall be prohibited
from encroaching by filling in or de-
veloping acretions. The rivers and
streams must be left in the condition
prevailing when the law takes effect,
In order to make things definite the
county boards are authorized to have
the banks of all rivers and streams
surveyed and established.
This bill, If enacted into law, will
save the people of Kansas thousands
Of dollars annually" said Mr.. Bird
at isn't the high water that takes
bridges out; It is the drift. Eliminate
the drift and water would run over
most of the bridges ten feet deep and
not sweep them away. The only oppo

H0N0RS TO RUSSIANS
That Is Tho Orders Of The MIkado For
Their Bravery.
they HELD OUT UNTIL THE LAST,
It Is Believed That Admiral Rojest.
vensky's Squadron viii Turn Back
Now That Arrangements For Sur.
render of Port Arthur Is Made.

Toxic, Jan. 4. - The Russian and
Japanese commissioners appointed to
arrange the terms Of the capituation
Of the Russian forces at Port Arthur
signed the compact of surrender at
y.45 o'clock last night.
Port Arthur whose hills have for
months run red with the blood of the
brayest Of two warlike nations, has
at last succumbed to the fierce tena-
city Of the Japanese attack. General
Stoessel, most stubborn in carrying
out the will Of his sovereign, has seen
the advance Of the besieging army
gain N momentum and energy until,
to hold out longer, would have been
crime against humanity. The condi'
tions of the surrender are not yet
known, but in all quarters it Is antici.
pated that they are such as an hon.
orable soldiery may accept from q
brave and victorious enemy.
The authorities at st, Petersburg,
in the absence of direct official news
from General Stoessel that Port Ar
thur has surrendered, have not per.
mitted the news to become public.
Emperor Nicholas is in the south of
Russia and his ministers are for the
time being in the dark as to what dis
patches have been sent to him from
the front.
Toxic was the scene Of rejoicing,
people Of all ranks finding in the out
come compensation for all the sacri-
flee Of life and money that was en-
tailed in the ten months siege
To what extent the fall of Port Ar
thur will make for restoration Of
peace is an open question. There is
an encouraging note in the express
sion by Baron Hayashi, Japanese min
lister at London, of the 'hope that in
s1me way it will facilitate final
peace" though the pacific note Is per-
haps lost in the later words of the
minister, which call attention to the
fact that the besleging army will now
be free to 80 north, where it will be
an offset to the achievements Cen
eral Kuropatkln has been receiving
from Russia since the battle OF
Shake.
The spirit OF the Russians may be
judged by the statement of the secre-
larry of the embassy at London that
the campaign will be renewed with
fresh vigor in the spring and that the
nation will not be content to permit
Port Arthur to remain in the hands
Of the japanese.
Both in Paris and in London the
opinion is that the squadron under
Vive Admiral Rojestyensky, which
started from Libau for the Far East
three months ago, will have to retrace
its way home, as adherence to the Or
iginal plans would invite disaster
without probability of effecting a
JUNCTION with the warships at pres
ent in the harbor Of yladlvostok.
That Japan may not be permitted
to retain possession OF Port Arthur
without dispute is shown in the fact
that Paris newspapers are already re-
.yiving the claim made in 1901 that
the holding of that position com
imandng the Eastern seas by the ia
ipanese would BE- a menace to Euro
pean powers.
