The Tucker Trial Brings Gut a Number of Con.
 tradictory Opinions.

Cambridge, Mass, Jan 1S.--The con- clusion of the testimony of handwrit- ing experts for the defence in the trial of Charles L. Tucker, for the alleged + murder of Mabel Page, was expected to be reached to-day, and if was aii- ticipated that medical experts would immediately thereafter take the stand to give evidence regarding the blood stains found on the clothing of Tucker and of Mabel Rage and on the knife alleged to have been found in Fuckers pocket when he was arrested. w. E. Kingston. the last of the experts in handwriting for the defense, was scheduled to be the first witness to. day.
 When Tucker came in he smiled pleasantly at his counsel and nodded to Attorney 1nnes. who had returned after weeks illness.
 Mir Kingst0n's testimony was brief. He said he had made q thorough ex- animation of the standards of the writ ing cf Tucker and of Mabel Page ana of the Morton note. He was unable to connect Fuckers writing with the Nor. ton note. In response to a question by MT Eahey. witness said he was of the opinion that the Morton note was writ ten by Mabel Page. He arrived at this conclusion entirely independent of his conclusions arrived at in connec- ton with Fuckers writing.
 It was agreed when the govern !nent's expert took the stand that he should not be cross-examined by the defense and in return that the last writing expert of the defense should not be submitted to cross-eXaminatiOn hy the government. MT Kingston therefore was excused at the conclu- sion of his direct examination. Dr Timothy Leary. professor of pathology and bacteriology at Tufts 1 college, was the next witness. Dr Leary said he had performed at least 6O0 autopsies for the purpose of determining the exact cause of death. although previous to this case he had aot to any considerable extent made a study of blood corpuscles. He de- ScrlDed examinations made in the , laboratory of Prof. Wood. the govern ! ment's expert. of sta ms on clothing said to be that of Miss Page and of "ucker He had also examined the knife alleged to nave been found in Fuckers pocket on the .light of his arresr.
 pr Leary identified the overcoat sad to have ben worn by Tucker on the
 lay of the murder and said that he found blood spots on it. On the knife. ,n addition to blood spots, he had found .ilst. Witness said the material at his disposal was small and exhaustive tests were impossible.
 Dr Leary said the blood spots on the knife might have been caused by the blood from any one of a number of animals, including rabbits. rats and squirrels. Blood on patton of the overcoat undoubtedly came, witness said from human . ing. A spot on tie lapel had been so thoroughly scraped by Prof Wood that tests to which Dr Lesry submitted it gave no result.

WHY THE FORTRESS FELL.

LONDON, Jan. IS.-A Nagasaki dis patciii says that General Stoe<sei. who left that port yesterday with his fam ily for Odessa. when interviewed be- fore his departure. said:
 The equalization of Port Arthur O. curing on New Years day vas merely a ooincidence. The loss of Tvs Hun alred and Three Meter hill snd the sub teGuent capture of forts. combined with the deadly msrksmsnsbip with the terrible eleven inch shells. the de pressing ehect of the death of General koniratenko and the fearful increase of scurvy. really fixed the time of cap ifulation- It Is quite untrue that dis sented from the unanimous decision of the finaI council of war.

Boston, Jan 1S.--Hopc for the final settlement of the strike of the cotton mill operatives at Fall River was cen tered to-day in a second conference arranged for this forenoon at the state house by Governor William L. Doug lass, between committee of the stflkerS and committee representing the manufacturers. For about eight hours last Saturday these committees had sat with the governor trying to reach some kind of an agreement. At that time Governor Douglass submit ted a proposition, which provided in substance for the return of the stsib- CTS pending a settlement of the mat terS at issue by arbitration, but this suggestion was not satifactory to the parties to the strike. At the earnest request of Governor Douglass 1t was arranged that another conference should be held. Both sides recognized that to-day's meeting would probably be the last effort, so far as. q harmon ious meeting of employer and employe was concerned. to end the strike. and on this account the greatest interest was attached to the outcome of the conference.
 The committees were the same as those which participated in last week $ conference with the exception that c. C. Townsville was with the manufac- turers. President N E. Borden headed the mill men and the strikers repre- sentatives were led by President liof, den and Secretary Hibbert of the Tex, tile council. As before the conference was secret. '
 The strike began July 25. 1904. when the manufacturers posted no tlces of twelve and one-half per cent reduction in wages. 4 conference held here last Saturday was without results. but both parties came to-day authorized to make settlement.
 By the settlement the operatives will return to work at once under the reduction. The question of the mar gin between raw material and manu- factured goods, which shall be re- quired by the manufacturers is left to be adjusted by Governor Douglas.

CONFERENCE TO TALK
 ABOUT PEASANT LAWS.
Russian Minister Has Sent Circular to Governors of The Provinces-The Japanese Losses When Torpedo Boat Was Destroyed Accommodations Al Tokio for Russian Prisoners

Generally commanding officers stuck with their men and chose imprison- ment. Most of the naval officers also chose. captivity. many probably heinz influenced by the fear of impending court martial"
 There were actually surrendered at Port Arthur between nine and ten thou sand soldiers and sailors, of wboul many were unfit for duty. The sick and wounded numbered 16 900. Fifty per cent of the officers of the garrison were killed, and only 2S probably per cent went through the siege unscath- ed
 The fortress could have held out for some time longer but for the fire of the Japanese eleven inch howitzers, which destroyed the food depots, the workshops and the ammunition stores and made the repair of the defensive works impossible.
 Interviews with other Russian off, ficers revealed great bitterness against and denunciations of Admiral Alex eieff for his failure to properly fortify Port Arthur and "his cowardly flight by the last train from the fortress. They say the torpedo boat destroyers that escaped before the surrender car ried all the regimental and naval colors to Chefu. The junior officers denounce the incapacity and folly of the govern ment in entering upon the war and declare that all the men who return to Russia from Port Arthur are revolu- tionists in spirit. These opinions were openly expressed in the presence of General Stoessel, who remarked: "Let them talk. They have earned the right to think as they please by braving un. told deaths for our country"
