SUFFERS NIGHTMARES
NAN PATTERSON IN ANGUISH
OVER REFUSAL OF BAIL.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, January 7.-Alarmed by a
night of terror which Nan Patterson suf-
fered last night. in which dreams of electric
chairs ended in Mysteries, the Tombs keep
ers were instructed by Warden Flynn to-
day to keep the closest watch Of the pris-
oner. He fears that at last the strain
which the actress is undergoing will cost
her insanity. Nan Patterson has borne her
burdens without her health being affected
until the news that bail had been refused
was carried to her by Lawyer Levy, when
her nerves gave away. She moaned and
suffered the greatest anguish, refusing to
be cheered. She tried to sleep last night,
but the nightmares, which she described
today as terrifying in their nature, contin-
uaily awakened her. and it was necessary
for one of the matrons to visit the girl q
half dozen times during the night.
Sees Electric Chair.
Once she awakened with a great start
and cried piteously, Take it away, 1 don't t
want to see it; take it away" Take what
away?' asked the matron, when she ar
rived. 'The electric chair" she gasped, and
fell back exhausted.
and again she started in terror, with beads
of perspiration on her brow.
Il see Rand she cried, sobbing hyster-
ically. He is crushing me. Spare me,
spare me. Don't be SO cruel
All through the night the prisoner had
less and her face is so lacking in expression
that Warden Flynn fears she has given
herself up to despair which will result in
her complete mental breakdown.

NO ALLOWANCE FOR CLERKS.
Purchasing Agent Cockran's Assistants
Taken From Other Offices.

The clause in the urgent deficiency bill
which provided for chief clerk to the
purchasing agent of the Post Office De-
partment made no allowances for any
other clerical aid for that office, and no
more clerks will sbe formally allowed
until the first of the coming fiscal year,
July 1, 1876. AT that time the clerks who
are now detailed from other Offices in the
department for work in that of the pur-
chasing agent will, in all probability, be
permanently transferred to the office
where they now employed.
Chief Clerk Briggs, whose regular ap-
pointment and the salary of $1,000 a year
attached thereto became effective Janu-
ary 2, has removed his clerks to the fifth
floor of the post office building, SO as to
have them near the purchasing agent,
whose new offices are on that floor.

NO RUSSIAN SURPRISE

The dispatch from Mukden today,
recounting the first reception of the
news of Port Arthur's fall, also fur

death of General Fock.
Admiral Togo has issued an order
raising the blockade of the LiaotuEg g

Capitulation was first generally known here
today, it was surmised by the Russian army

The news created no surprise, because the
army had been accustomed to the possi-
bility of Port Arthur's fall from before the
battle of Liaolang and since.
While concerned at the disaster the Rus
slams are lost in admiration of the wonder
full and uneXampled defense. Although the
deaths of Generals Fock and Kondratenko
were not published here. the facts regard

before the war that Port Arthur would
doubtless resist for eighteen months as be-

RoJESTvENSKY'S RECALL
Tokyo Naval Opinions of Russia's Flu.
ture Sea Plans.

TOKYO, January 7-Noon-In naval cir
cles here the recall of the Russian second
Pacific squadron is not regarded as a sign
that Russia does not hope for final success
on the seas. 1t is considered that the
authorities at ST. Petersburg have realized
the improbability of the second Pacific
squadron alone defeating Vice Admiral
Togo, and have recalled 1t to await REIN
forcements and to further train it's officers
and men preparatory to supreme effort
for the mastery.
A naval officer said to an Associated
Press correspondent today:
Japan has confidently awaited the arri-
val OF the second Pacific squadron of the
Russian navy in the far east 1t would
have been a splendid fight. Now We must
prepare for the future, of which we are
not afraid"
