went on the stand in his own defense
during the morning.
His appearance indicated we'll
dressed, prosperous young professional
man. After relating the facts of his
early life he said that he had lived in
New Ulm all his life with the excep-
tion of the time he attended dental col
lege. He declared that he and Dr..
Gebhardt were good friends and had
often exchanged professional cour-

In reply to questions of his attor-

had received the injury to his hands
and emphatically deslared he did not

JApS TAKE <: POSSESSION
VICTORIOUS ARMY MAKES FOR.
NAL ENTRY INTO THE CITY
oFPoRT ARTHUR.
SURRENDER OF PLACE UNNECESSARY
DEFENDERS NUMBERED THIRTY
THOUSAND AND FORTS ARE
IN GOOD SHAPE.

Port Arthur, Jan. II, via Tientsin,
Jan. 1.-THE victorious Japanese
army yesterday formally entered Port
Arthur. General Nogi, with his staff,
entered first through the old town and
took his stand in the public square Of
the new town. The army was repre-
sented by one regiment from each
brigade. The procession, which was
five miles long, was three hours pass
ing the saluting base, after which the
the new town. The correspondents
then visited the captured city for the
first time The old town buildings
were badly smashed by shells, but in
the new town the damage was slight
All the shipping in the harbor was
badly damaged by shell fire, the war
ships being practically useless owing
to the injuries they had sustained by
shells.
Proposals for the surrender of Port
Arthur were first made Dec. 20 at a
council OF war. General Stoessel was
in favor of surrender, but some OF his
general officers were bitterly opposed
to it. The regimental officers and the
troops were not consulted. The first
news they had of the surrender was on
Jan. ], after General Stoessel had
communicated with the Japanese.
The scenes following the surrender
were disgraceful. Drunken soldiers
filled the streets and refused to obey
their officers. Many of them destroyed
the guns upon the positions they had
defended and came into the city with
out permission. The infantry loudly
protested that the fortress had been
given away. They threw their rifles
and ammunition into the harbor and
proceeded to break into warehouses
and loot and drink vodka until in a
helpless condition. It was evident
that the surrender was not necessary,
the fortress. The supply of ammuni-
ton was short, but it was not exhaust
ed. Food was scarce, but private stores
were not requisitioned by the military
There is no difficulty in getting good
meals in the city even now from the
stores in private possession. A portion
OF the fortress was capable of defense
for months longer. 1t was the opin-
ion Of the non-combatants at Port Ar
thur that the surrender was unneces.
sary as the troops were willing and
able to fight to the bitter end Gen
eral StOessel was much blamed for
what was characterized as a disgrace
full conclusion of splendid defense,
which ended with the death of Major
General Kondratenko, who was loved
by the soldiers and was the life of the
defense
The adjourned meeting of the
Northern Securities company, which
was to have been held at Hoboken, N.
