HAPPENINGS Of
A WEEK IN BRIEF
SUMMARY OF MOST INTEREST
ING EVENTS OF PAST
SEVEN DAYS.
WHAT CONGRESS is DOING
Progress Of the Russo-Japanese War
in the Far East-News from All
Parts of the Union and the Latest
Foreign Intelligence.
RUSsO-JAPANESE WAR.

The final arrangements for the sur
render of Port Arthur have been COM
pleted, Gen. Stoessel accepting the terms
proposed by Gen. Nogi. Russians blew
up all the remaining forts, ships, maya
zines and arsenals. There are $4,000
wounded Russians in the city. Toxic is
wild with joy. The mikado instructed
Gen. Nogi to show military honors to
Gen. Stoessel, whose gallant defense he
commends.
Terms of the surrender of Port Ar
thur provide that the officers may re-
turn to Russia under parole, bearing
their side arms, but the privates and
noncommissioned officers will be taken
to Japan as prisoners of war. Japan is to
possess everything left in the citadel.
Russian officers arriving in Chefoo say
the garrison Of $4,000 at Port Arthur was
reduced to 5000 effective fighters, II 900
of whom were killed and they estimate
the cost of the siege to Japan at $780,
100000.
The Russian hospital corps will re-
main in Port Arthur to assist the Japs
to care for $4,000 Russian sick and
wounded.
News of the fall of Port Arthur causes
all Russians to resent the talk of peace
which comes from outside sources.
Gen. Stoessel wished to die at his
guns in Port Arthur, but his generals
persuaded him to surrender.
Mukden reports a fierce attack on the
Russian center repulsed with heavy jap
anese loss.

HEALTH OF WHITE PEOPLE,
According to Naval Authority Is Apt
to Suffer in the PHIL
ippines.

Surgeon w. II. Bucher, Of the navy,
stationed at Olongapo. p L.. has made
an interesting report to- the navy de-
partment regarding certain peculiar
physical results of prolonge1 service
in the Philippines. There are certain
changes" he says, that take place in
those individuals who are compelled to
live here which are worthy of noting
Some show evidences of this change
early, while in others it does not APP

elapsed. 1t comes TO all. however, in
greater Or less degree. The first symp-
tom is loss of memory and the neces-
sity of using a note book TO cot down
almost everything. About the same
time an Indifference, so common
| among the natives, made inroads on
the foreigner and daily battle against
! 'manana' tendency is necessary to keep
It from interfering with his duties
This Indifference is not confined to
himself. The dogs in the street move

Very Few Official in Charge of Pub

Fred w. Atkinson, who was the first
superintendent of education in the Phil
ippines under the American control,
writes of the Filipino in Worlds Work:
AN experience of three years in the
Philippines has brought me to the con-
clusion that the Filipinos are incapable
of self-sovernment. They are managed
by few ambitious leaders. They have
not yet cultivated a sense of fair play
and tolerance for those who differ in
opinion, and yet, although the gift self
government in full measure was not
possible. the United States bestowed il
to degree by granting practical al-
tonomy in provincial and municipal af-
fairs. There are some 600 towns in which
natives have in the main the same con-
troll over their local affairs as is en-
joyed by the residents of towns of cor
responding size in the United States
but concentration of government pow
ers has been found.
VERY few of them, however. show ex-
eeutive ability. and some of them betray
obstinate inefllciency and inactivity

In the direction of one-man power, and

at ten minutes before six O'Clock
Wednesday morning at the family home
in this city, after a brave battle of less
than two weeks against a severe attack
ot pneumonia.
For hours before death claimed the
distinguished musician he had lapsed
into a semi-conscious condition, and the
end came without his regaiIing con-
sciCusness. AT the bedside were Mrs.
Thomas, two sons, the nurses and DR..

this splendid temple consecrated to the
art OF music.

debut as violinist in Germany at the
age OF ten years. The same year, 1915,
he came to America and gained repu-
tation as solo violinist at great New
York concerts and in tour of the south
He inaugurated orchestral concerts in
1864 and three years later in 1867, he
founded the Thomas orchestra, MAIN
tanning the organization until 1883
Previously, in 1862, he had been elected
leader of the Brooklyn Philharmonic
society, and, in 1877, of the New York
Philharmonic society, and he held these
posts too. until 1891 almost contin-
uously. From 1885 to 1887 he was con
ductor OF the American Opera company
and from 1873 to 1898 conducted the BIZ
ennial Cincinnati musical festivals. He
was musical director of the worlds fail
