ing, and perhaps to be subjected +
horrors and excuses, does not meet
with a word of criticism In Russia.
Even in defeat, Gen. Stoessel's Won
derful defense of Port Arthur has
earned for him an imperishable name
in Russian military annals. Ever since
confirmation was received Of the de-
struction Of the Port Arthur squadron
it had been felt both at the admiralty
and at the war Office that the main
reason for the sacrifice of the last man
in the defense Of the fortress had gone,
and the progress made by the besieg-
ers during the past fortnight. culmin-
ating in the capture of Wantai (Sig-
nal) hill, which broke the chain Of in
ner eastern forts, made 1t certain that
the end was at hand.
Given Discretionary Powers.
1t has been learned that the last tele-
gram sent BY Emperor Nicholas to Gen.
Stoessel vested the commander OF the
Port Arthur forces with discretionary
powers, and urged him to exercise them
rather than allow the defense to go to
the last ditch. This may account for
the apparently brief time to conclude the
negotiations between the Russian and
japanese commanders, no time having
been occupied in communicating with
Emperor Nicholas. 1t is equally certain
that Gen. Stoessel did not surrender
without previous authorization.

to confirming the reports of the death

Should be Stopped.

There was a general complaint
by those who attended Robinson's
band concert Tuesday night that
they could not heat the music on
account of the noise made by the
children playing around the band
stand. They were all around and
on the stand while the band was
playing, shouting, some of the boys
making other kinds of noise to
drown the music. This should not
be allowed. If the officers can t stop
it we are in favor of the band having
a special deputy for the occasion to
keep the children quiet and away
from the stand, The band can
paw the expense if the officer can
be secured. There are many who
come from other towns to hear
these concerts and il is shame to
disappoint them by this sort of
hubub. 1t should be stopped.
