One Thousand Non-Combat-

JAPANESE REFUSE ALL AID
General Nogi Already Has Material On
Hand and VIII Begin Further
Fertilization of Port Ar.
thur at Once.

Che Foo January 5-1OsO p. m.--Sym-
pathy for the sick and wounded Russians
at Port Arthur is widespread. but an Of
fer OF hospital relief for them at Che
Foo, Tien Tsin, Shanghai. Wei-Hai-Wei
and Sintau has led to an inquiry, which
developed the fact that the combined
facilities of the places named are equal
to harborng only a very small percentage
of them.
Some time ago Russian residents at
Che Foo collected fund in anticipation
of this emergency, but at a meeting of
the British and japanese consuls and
the local health officials the fact was de-
veloped that the present conditions at
Che Foo are equal to caring for only
sixty. The conditions at Shanghai and
Tien Tsin are proportionately inadequate.
The general opinion here is that the
great mass of the sick and wounded will
be compelled to remain at Port Arthur
until they are sufficiently convalescent
to return to Russia.
The refusal of the Japanese to accept
the aid rendered by the British cruiser
Andromeda was an error, born of their
ueSlfe 10 snow lne world tnat Japanese
humananess was equal to the occasion.
The statement of the censored dis
patches from correspondents with Gem
eral Nogi's army that the Japanese lost
only $4,000 men in taking the fortress is
declared to be absurd by Russian naval
officers here.
Their lowest estimate, they say based
on both personal observation and in sto-
ries told by prisoners. is that the Japan
ese lost $4,000.
Information from Japanese says that
the condition of Port Arthur is chaotic,
but that Generals Nogi and Stoessel are
rapidly systematizing affairs there.

OFFICIALS CLASH
OVER THE PRISONER
Uncle Sam Claims Jurisdiction
Over Mrs. Chadwick
DEPUTIES ARE ON GUARD
Attorney Dawley Is Refused Admit
tance and Threatens to Throw
the Officer on Guard Out
of the Window.

Cleveland o., January 5.--As the result
of a clash between the federal and county
authorities that has been on since Mrs.
Cassie L. Chadwick arrived from New
York. as to who had jurisdiction over
the prisoners care while she is in the
county Jail, they federal authorities to-
night definitely said that they would as
sumo such control under authority vested
in them by a decision of the supreme
court of the United States in similar
case in another state, and which they
think can be applied in this instance.
The dispute has arisen because of the
privilege assumed by former Sheriff
Barry in permitting her husband and
other persons to call on Mrs. Chadwick
contrary to order of the federal judge
that written permission for such inter-
view, or call, should first be obtained
from that court. Sheriff Barry retired
from office last Saturday at midnight.
He was succeeded by George c. MuIhern
Clash of Opinions.
AS a county officer, Sheriff Mulhern
today obtained from the county solicitor
an opinion to the effect that inasmuch
do Aht jail w etS d tOullS llSlllullDll, q
United States prisoner was no more than
a county prisoner while confined therein
and was under the authority of the
sheriff
An opinion was handed to the sheriff
by District Attorney John ]. Sullivan
later in the day to the effect that the
federal authorities controlled Mrs. Chad
wick's care, and that no persons should
be allowed to see her without permis-
sion 1t was maintained by District At
torney Sullivan that Mrs Chadwick Is
a federal prisoner and the sheriff is for
the time being a federal keeper.
To enforce it's order two deputy mar
shals have alternated In the county jail
today. and tonight. in guarding the way
to Mrs. Chadwick cell Not even her
attorney ]. p. Dawley, was allowed to
sec her today. because he had not obtain
ed permission from the federal officials.
Dawley, who is a very prominent lawyer,
asserted the perogative of his calling to
see his client but the powerful deputy
marshal refused him entrance to the wo-
mans corridor in the Jail. Dawley was
fur6ssy, and sasd ~ the r1arshal. that
IL lie had half as mucn physlc strength
as he had (the marshall he would throw
the marshal out of the window.
Trunk Is Opened.
The trunk belonging to Mrs Chadwick
was opened today by Attorney Louis
Grossman. The trunk contained only
wearing apparel for Mrs. Chadwick con-
sisting of four dresses and an entire suit
OF moeskin, the whole being worth, Mr..
Grossman thought, perhaps, $4,000 or $4,000.
Both the trunk and satchel which were
carefully guarded while Mrs. Chadwick
was in New York city, have been opened
and the contents examined by Mr.. Gross
man. The result shows nothing that will
add materially to Mrs. Chadwicl s as
sets.

Peabody Reads Message.


concentrations concerning reports from
the various state Institutions, referring
the legislature to the report of Adjutant
General Sherman Bell, which was SO
large that the governor declared he could
not attempt to epitomize it. On the
question of elections, the message was
as follows:
THE fraudulent conduct Of elections
under our present system demands your
immediate and concerted action. In a
general way 1t seems sufficient to say
that a modern primary and registration
law should be enacted. and the advisable
ity of introducing voting machines should
be considered.
I'm sorrow we must admit that the
elective franchise, especially in Denver
has been sadly msused and prostitued. A
patient people protest and these outrages
should be ended"
The Governor recommends consideration
of constitutional amendment providing
for compulsory arbitration, and urges
the abolishment of the present arbitra-
ton board, as 1t is without power to
enforce its decisions. OF the labor trou-
bles, the Governor after urging the adop-
tion of a reasonable, just and equitable
eight-hour law says:
EARLY in my administration certain
organization known as the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, claiming public con-
sderation under the name of labor. whose
officers and those in direct charge of its
management are bold. careless, reckless
men, attempted to foment trouble in
several of the industrial sections of Col
orado, to the end that that particular
organization should have recognition In
the operation and management of the
mines, mills and smelters. wherever locat-

ONE MEMBER WANTS WAY
CLEARED FOR QUICK EXIT
Legislature VIII Probably Take Up
Question of Contest In Governor
ship Today-All Are
Expectant.

Denver. Col, January 5.-Tomorrow the
Colorado legislature will commence to do
things When the joint session of the
house and senate was dissolved this after
noon, all the political Intermediates to
the canvassing of the vote for state Of
fcers had been swept away When the
legislature convenes tomorrow morning
the decks will be cleared, the battleflags
will be up and in both House and Senate
ninety-nine gunners will be standing by
an equal number of oratorical guns pre-
pared for action.
The first struggle is likely to come over
the choice of a presiding officer for the
joint session.
The rules provide that the lieutenant-
governor as presiding officer of the sem
ate, shall take precedence over the speak
er of the house when the bodies sit to-
gether. 1t is known that the lieutenant-
governor is of the opinion that the courts
are the proper place for the adjustment
of political contests. and effort may
be made to induce force him to give
way to Speaker Dickson, who is favored
by those members of the legislature who
believe that the contest between the rival
candidates for the governorship should
be settled by the Legislature itself.
A long caucus was held this afternoon
by the republicans. 1t was finally de-
termined to put the canvass over until
tomorrow.

believing my duty to the people of
the state lay in protecting life and prop
ertv In advance of annihilation, / pro-
ceeded to stop the unlawful methods of
this reckless band of men. Suffice 1t
to say. law and order was maintained,
peace restored and prosperity immediate
ly followed.
II recommend the passage of an act
by your honorable body prohibiting boy
cotting, picketng, unfair lists or other
interference with the lawful business or
occupation of others, and providing suit
able penalties therefor.
1.-THE principles upon which stand, and
which have caused me to take the action
I have taken in maintaining law and. or
der in this state, are that the rights of
every citizen to enjoy life and liberty,
and the right to acquire, possess. enjoy
and protect his property are inherent and
indefensible. The right of the working
man to sell his labor to any one wishing
to purchase it for lawful purposes Is
equally his inherent right. Laborers
have undisputed right to organize and
to cease work, either as individuals or as
an organization, for such reasons as may
seem to themselves sufficient, but when
they attempt to prevent others from per-
forming the same work. or to'prevent the
employers from employing others to
carry on this work, their actions are un-
lawful and cannot be tolerated"
There has been so far no indication OF
any violence or trouble likely to come
from either the canvassing Of the vote
or the declaration of the final result.

Causes Roar of Laughter.

Both democrats and republicans insist
that everything will pass off peaceably.
The sole prophet to the contrary was
Representative Bromley, who with comic
seriousness objected to railing being
placed across two Of the three archways
in the rear of the house. Representative
Frewen proposed the railing with the
idea Of protecting the members in the
rear seats from the crowding specta tors.
Representative Bromley. who sits in the
last row, declared that he wished no rail-
ing behind his seat.
"There may be things doing In this
room before long" he asserted, land
may want to get out quickly
The roar of laughter that followed his
words effectually disposed Of the propo-
stion to build the railing.

CAR IS FRUSTRATED
AS RESULT OF DEFEAT


ST Petersburg More bitter even
than defeat is the Japanese claim Of
virtual humiliation OF the Russian
feet with practically no losses on
their side, and many officers cling dog
gedly to the belief that Vice-Admiral
Togo must have suffered heavily.
With every ship OF Rear-Admiral
Nebogatoif's reinforcing division
strike its flag and only six of Rojesr-
vensky's original sixteen fighting
ships absent from the list of vessels
sunk or captured. and with the Japan
csc pursuit still continuing, no naval
authority has the temerity to dream
that Russia can again attempt to wrest
the present war.
The captured warships alone will
furnish Japan with ready-made rein
forcements which will be more than
match for the Fourth Pacific squadron,
now about to sail from Cronstadt.
The emperor was completely pros
trated by the news, and, according to
reports, he broke down and wept.
The effect of the disaster will be
terrible blow to the government. The |
futility of trying to struggle on land is
everywhere recognized. and the cry
for peace at any price" Is sure to be
raised. This time it is believed the
government cannot resist such cry.
Indeed, the radical liberals are openly
rejoicing in this hour of their coun
try's humiliation. They declare that
the disaster means peace and a consti
tuition, and that the deaths of thou
sands of their fellow countrymen and
the loss. of over a hundred million
dollars worth of warships is not too
big a price to pay.

PLANTS IN THEIR sLuMBER.

Species That Remain Dormant
through the Winter.
Plants sleep much the same as ami.
mals. Their sleep is quite real. and
its reality can be shown. Perhaps the
best marked form Of slumber in the
vegetable world is that of the great
winter rest. when so many species re-
tire altogether under the sheltering
soil, and there lie dormant, side by
side with the slumbering animals.
How does the long winter rest of anil
mails differ, after all, from the winter
rest OF the crocus or the hyacinth,
which withdraw all the living material
from their leaves In autumn and bury
themselves inches deep in the soil in
the shape of bulb till February rains
or April suns tempt leaves and flowers
out again. The whole vast class of
dubious and tuberous plants, indeed
the lilies, orchids, daffodils, narcissi,
tulips, squills. bluebels and snowdrops
ARE they. not just alternating crea
lures, which retire underground in au-
tumn with the slugs and the queen
wasps to reappear in spring about
the same time with the return to up
per air of the moles, the tortoises and
the fritillary BUTTERFLIES?

Russian fleet in full force.
A few hours later the scouts report

caused some surprise.
Admiral Togo Immediately steamed

columns He then brought terrific
fire to bear on the flank of the port
column, and as the Russians fell into
disorder he forced them steadily east

vessel that flew the Japanese flag.
Repeated torpedo attacks were de-

success. The vessels which escaped,
