stoessel was prepared to discuss terms of
capitulation reached Tokyo early this morn
ing but was not made public until 10
o'clocl- Its receipt sent thrill of pleasure
through the circle of officials who have long
awaited such a communication.
The news is just reaching the general
public and it is expected that the day will
bring ample evidence of popular joy. Be
sides the barest announcement of the re-
ceipt of Gen. Nogis telegram nothing is
known about the terms conditions pro-
posed
The fall of Wantai, popularity known as
Signal Hill, following the loss of Rihlung
Sungshu, II Fort and New Panlung is re-
garded here as a clear indication that the
Port Arthur garrison has lost is power of
serious resistance
The facts do not reveal it, but 1t is prob
able that the back of the Russian defense
was broken when 2e3- Meter Hill was Gam
tured.
The Russians desperately sought to re-
take that eminence, and sent infantry and
marines against it in series of counter
attacks, fruitlessiy losing thousands of men.
Following that. the extension of the Japa-
nese right compelled the Russians to fight
over extended front and made concen-
| tration difficult.
Despite the lack of knowledge of the con-
tents of General Stoessers letter. 1t is con-
| fidently believed that there will be no hitch
! and that there will be prompt capituia-
ton, ending one of the most remarka Bile

CONFIRMED AT LONDON.
Little Disposition for Doubt Over Terms
of Agreement.

LONDON, January AT noon the Jap
anese legation received an official COM
munication from Tokyo repeating the in
formation given out eight hours previ-
ously in the Associated Press dispatches
from Tokyo as to Lieut.. Gen. StoessePs
overtures for capitulation.
This official communication disposes of
the definite announcement of surrender
prematurely published in London by one
English and one American agency No
doubt, however, is entertained in comps-
tent quarters that terms will be arranged
and that the Japanese will soon be in eff
fective occupation of Port Arthur, the
magnificent defense of which is the SUBJ
ject of eulogy on all sides.
Negotiations May BE Prolonged.
At the Japanese legation it was said
that the negotiations over the terms of
surrender might entail considerable
communication with Tokyo and possibly
prolong the negotiations until Tuesday.
or even Wednesday. but there was little
disposition to doubt that an agreement
would be reached. Minister Hayashi ex-
pressed relief at the fact that sacrifice of
life on the part of the garrison and the
besiegers was about to be ended.
The fall of the fortress, the minister
added, would mark the close of an i'm
portant phase of the war and release
large number of troops. which would be
available for the reinforcement of Field
Marshal Oyama. but Baron Hayashi was
not in a position to say that the sur
render would have any definite immedi-
ate influence in the direction of termin-
ating the war. As to mediation, the min
lister reiterated that he knew of no at
temps in that direction.

JAPANESE MAGNANIMoUS.
Believed at Tokyo That Terms Were
Easily Settled.

TOKYO. January 2.-It is believed here
that the Port Arthur garrison has received
liberal terms. There is a general DISPOSE
tion to be magnanimous in view of the gar
rison's marvellous defense. The public has
not been informed of the result of the meet
ing of the capitulation commissioners at
noon today. but it was believed that the
terms had already been agreed upon.
In military circles the opinion was ex-
pressed that the discussion covered only a
few questions including allowing the garri-
son to march out carrying their arms, per-
mitting the garrison to return to Russia,
with without their officers, and requiring
their parole not to take any further part in
the war. 1t is possible that Japan will per-
NIT the entire garrison to return to Russia,
with arms, upon giving their parole

stoessel's Proposals Accepted.

LONDON, January 2. 2;05 p.m.-A dis
patch to the japanese legation from Tokyo
says General Stoessel's proposals for the
surrender of Port Arthur have been ac-
cepted by General Nogi.
Baron Hayashf paid a tribute to General
Stoessel, saying.
The surrender will in no way affect the
glory belonging to him and his men nor
our admiration for their splendid defense.
''The legation" continued Baron Haya-
shi. has nothing confrmatory of the re-
ports of a definite surrender but our in
formation goes to show that the surrender
of the great fortress is imminent. The
terms of surrender, of course, come within
the province of the generals. but it is very
unlikely that Russian troops still at Port
Arthur, who are believed to number nearly
2o,oo0 men, will be allowed to reinforce the
troops in the field"

Minister HayasM naturally was eiated at
the expected surrender, and reiterated: 1T
viii at any rate end the terrible slaughter
there, and l sincerely hope it may in some
way facilitate final peace. This depends
upon Russia, and not upon us. 1t may
strengthen the determination of Russia to
continue the war at all costs. Its effect on
Japan, however. cannot be doubted. Our

sieging army gives US increased forces

Plenty and to Spare.

Though this months crop report in dicates a yield of spring wheat some what smaller than was indicated last month, the total will still be very large. the winter and cpring yields together promising an aggregate pro- ductiOn of about six hundred and eighty-four million bushels. This will not only be ample for domestic con- sumption but will give larger surplus for export than the foreign demand so far indicates will be required. For the present, indeed, Canadian wheat has the preference in the European mar ket considerably underselling the American Our corn crop now seems likely to reach twenty-seven hundred and seven million bushels, of course breaking all records, and the oats crop is computed at nine hundred and thirty eight million bushels, breaking all records but one. These three grains together show an increase of four hun dred and fifteen million bushels over the figures of last year. a very sub stantial addition indeed to the present wealth of the country

Peace by Force.

MT. Carnegie's opinion that five na- tions, or even three. could put an end to war by banding together in a league of peace is perhaps unduly optimistic. Indeed, he proceeds to refute his own proposition by saying that such d league could use force to maintain peace. No doubt agreement between the great powers to submit serious international disputes to The Hague Tribunal would do much to avert war. But it is hard to see how the possi- bility of war could be entirely elimi- mated. Suppose that Russia, Germany, the United States, Great Britain. and France were to combine for purely pacific purposes. Only by force could these prevent Chile and Peru, for ex- ample, or Spain and Italy from fight ing. Of course the powers thus joined together might themselves quarrel and fall asunder despite all their good in tentions.

The Harvest of RascaIIty.

This Is harvest time-harvest time for embezzlers, defaulters, frenzled financiers. and all the guild of grafters who have been enriching themselves and rioting on the property of others. Some are housed in the penitentiary and some are in the grave. ''Whatso- ever a man soweth. that shall he also reap" The story of the Pittsburg bank cashiers suicide after practically wrecking his bank is the same old story. Another Pittsburg case is that of Cunliffe, the express employe who is in jail awaiting trial for stealing S10O,OOO of his employers money.
 Where is the root of this prevailing rascality among men of repute and in responsible positions? With the up to-date man apparently the Decalogue is out of date. It Is a foolish and dis credited old code, founded on what the wise people of our generation esteem a fable. Yet once upon a time it's clear-cut, stern decrees exercised au- thority on business mems consciences and one could trust his bosom friend not to cut his throat in a business deal. apparently because men were grounded in the righteousness of that old Mosaic law.

The smith, a lordly man is he with
 wide and fertile lands. No more his brawny back he bends
 beneath the horses weight; No more his ringing sledge he swings
 in happy strength elate. No more his face is covered OCT with
 blazing forges smut, Nor beaded with his honest sweat, its
 channels there to cut. Adown the street he sits at ease be- fore the wayside inn. And jingles in his custom -mades his
 stacks of easy tin. For wise was he within his day and
 seized the chance that came By charging seven prices when the
 motor cars went lame.

THE HABIT OF SAVING.

Statistics show that nine-tenths of the rich men of this country began life in poverty. or humble circumstances, and it was by saving small sums first, and adding thereto consistently, that the first thousand dollars was accu- muIated. It is the saying that, "the greatest struggle of the prosperous man was saving the first thousand dollars; after that, the road to afflu- ence was easy
 The habit of saving acquir- fixed habit and very few men make a failure who save their first thousand dollars. During the period of saving the first thousand. one forms the habit of Investigating very care fully before investing his money; he counts the probable profits to be de- rived, as well as the chances of loss and when he enters into business for himself with his thousand dollars, he is pretty sure to make no mistake in his investment, and so the first thou sand that required some self denial to save, will add to itself like a rolling ball of snow.
 When the man or woman comes to the conclusion that it is time to quit the foolish habit of spending their

 There is but three investments for small sums of money; Ioaning to your friends or other needy applicant, with promise of large interest but no pay ment of principal; deposit in bank, with small or no income; or taking stock in a well conducted. local build ing and loan association, where you re- ceive the largest interest consistent with safe investment; where you may withdraw your savings on short notice if circumstances require.
