FRANCE THINKS RUSSIA
WILL FIGHT HARDER

PARIS, Jan. 2.-The news of the
surrender of Port Arthur created a
profound impression here and was the
universal theme of conversation in Of
flcial and diplomatic quarters and with
the public generally. The newspapers
discuss the matter at much length and
in tone of sadness. The prevailing
French view is summed up by the
Temps, which says the historic defense
of Sevastopol has now been surpassed,
Port Arthur adding a glorious page to
military annals. which will long re-
main unequaled. The Temps points
out that the surrender will exert
tremendous moral effect favorable to
Japan. The Japanese, the paper says,
are now revenged for the loss of Port
Arthur after the Chino-Japanese war.
French military critics regard the
surrender of Port Arthur as rendering
Gen. Kuropatkin's position increasingly
dangerous, as the besieging army of
$4,000 men is now released and will re-
inforce the japanese army in the north.
1t is expected that Vice Admiral Ro-
jestvensky's squadron will proceed no
further in the direction of the seat Of
war.
The hope is expressed in some Off
cial quarters that the surrender of the
fortress will hasten peace; but the pre-
vailing view is that the fall will ac-
centuate Russia's resistance. Some
Paris journals assert that Japanese
occupation of Port Arthur will con-
stitute menace to all Europe, which
the chancelleries should prepare to
meet.

James 6. Doyle. the new chief of police,
took command of the department. last
night, in succession to E. j. Conroy,
Mayor Haynes chief of police. This was
the only change in. the personnel of the
department. and all the other officers and
men went on in the even tenor of their
ways.
Today there will be something doing.
Letters have been prepared removing or
changing in rank thirty members of the
department, and the changes will take
effect today.
1t was expected there would be some
changes yesterday but Mayor Jones was
SO busy with his inaugural address he did
not have time to give the list careful
scrutiny
1t is doubtful if there will be more than
one or two men appointed to the force
today, but there will be a number OF, pro-
motions and reductions-and these have
been pretty accurately forecasted in T h
G lob e. This is admitted by men close
to Mayor Jones'
The members of the department are
awaiting with anxiety the little list which

action came from Deputy Coroner t. "A.
Sullivan, and the state was unwilling to
proceed without it, fearing that if the
regular return were not made it might
constitute an error on which claim for
new trial might be based.
On the advice of Judge Webber Clerk.
of Court Larson telephoned to Springfield
and secured the names of the jurymen.
After consultation between Kochs at
torneys Senator Somerville proposed that
they try the case with the ten jurors al
ready secured Mr.. Childs answered that
while the state was willing to hasten the
trial as much as possible there had been
no decision on any such action by the SUI
preme court of this state and he did not
consider it safe to agree to the proposal.
Your honor will appreciate our posi-
tion," he said addressing Judge Weber
This will mean a delay of few hours.
but if there is an error it will mean a
delay of weeks and prove great expense
to the county
Another Unacceptable Offer
Senator Somerville then proposed that
both sides waive the Springfield delega-
tion entirely and use the rest of the ven
ire, but the state refused on the same
grounds as before.
However" said Mr.. Childs, 'sif the de-
fense will stipulate that the telephoning
of the names shall constitute a proper
return we are willing to let the trial go
on without waiting
This Mr.. Somerville declined to do on
the ground that 1t would be stipulating
something which is not true While this
discussion between the attorneys was GO
ing on Coroner L. A. Fritsche was tele-
phoning to Springfield and now appeared
in court and informed the Judge that he
had arranged with his deputy to send the
return down by team.
DR.. O. c. Stricken, who attended An
ton Horsak, the witness for the defense
who was poisoned few days ago by
eating sausages, says it was undoubted-
ly a case of ptomaine poisoning, and that
there is no reason to believe that any one
doctored the meat. Both Horsak and his
wife have recovered.

who succeeded in stamping out the small
pox epidemic during the admins of
Mayor Gray. When the head of the Min
neapolis health department seemed par
alyzed DR.. Norred was placed in charge of
the work and for months he labored night
and day and succeeded in stamping out
the plague.

PRINCESS STARTS A CAFE.
But It Is Charity Establishment for
the Poor of Athens.

Society at Athens was invited to the
Inauguration of the new restaurant
for the poor, or "Syssition," estab
lished by the crown princess OF
Greece, near the Acropolis.
The ceremony of the Inauguration
was honored by the presence of the
king and queen and all the members
of the royal family, says the New
York Herald. Princess Sophie her
self was the first TO taste the food
which the poor of the city will have
at nominal price.
A large number of poor people were
waiting outside and entered as soon
as the doors were opened, most OF
them being aged men, women and
children. They were served on that
day by the most distinguished women
of Athens.
The king and members of the royal
family went frequently to the kitchen
and through the rooms and took great
pleasure in seeing the satisfaction
of the poor people.
A similar restaurant for the poor,
called "Syssition," is already in exist
ence in another quarter of the city,
near the market, due to the same
benevolent foundress. Princess Sophie
has already acquired the name of
Good Princess" and has now made
herself more popular than ever by the
new establishment.

FISHES FROM OCEANS BED.
Unusual Characteristics of Inhabitants
of the Deep Sea.


When deep-sea fish Is brought to
the surface, how gradually and care
fully soever, its bones are often like
so much touchwood and its muscles
like rotten pulp, while its eyes are
burst from their sockets and its Wis
cera are often blown out of the body
cavity by the expansion of the air
bladder. 1t frequently happens that
deep-sea fishes are found floating help
lessly on the surface of the ocean.
with large prey in their stomachs.
Their appearance under these circum-
stances Is accounted for by the efforts
of their struggling victims to escape
from their jaws, causing them to as
cend beyond the horizontal zone which
they usually inhabit. Deep-sea fishes
are commonly black or dark brown.
But although it is claimed that light
is essential to the formation OF colors,
some deep-sea fishes are scarlet in
parts, or uniform red or rosy. Others
are silvery white, while, according to
Alcock, the neocopelus is lone daz'
cling sheen of purple and silver and
Furnished gold, amid which is spark
