Some Final Scenes,

London. Jan. 3.-The Mails cor
respondent with General Nogi says
the capture of Wantai involved six
hours of fighting, while attacks on
the fort TO the southeast were carried
on simultaneously. Describing the
final scenes, the correspondent says:
THE slackened fire at points in
the northern and eastern forts seem
to show the Russian ammunition was
falling. Great explosions around the
forts proclaimed Russians were ex-
ploding their magazines. Flames
and smoke in the harbor were follow
ed by explosion after explosion, which
revealed the destruction of the Rus
sian ships. The Russians also APP
parently blew up their own forts.
The battleship Sevastopol was blown
up and other warships were destroy
ed as thoroughly as possible. The
battleship Retvizan and Poltava and
protected cruiser Pallada caught on
fire."

SLIPPERY TON Is
BEHIND THE BARS
Was the Man Who Robbed Post
office at West Toledo.
Is Also n Desperate Man and Broke
Jail When He Escaped From
Ohio.
SEVERAL CHARGES ARE FILED.

Deputy U. s. Marshal George San
ders, who, with Constable l.. w. Cos
by, of Mayfield, took Tom Stewart
convict, to Toledo, o., to answer the
charge of robbing the post Office al
West Toledo, and for Jail breaking
returned to the city this morning.
Stewart told you, see." Marshal
Saunders laughingly remarked, as
he read an account of what Stewar,
,said about his arrest when waiting
here for the train to take him to
Ohio, that he didn't know anything
about where West Toledo was, and
that he was the wrong man. Well
he proved to be the right man, and
is tough customer to boot. Stew
art is railroader and when he reach
ed Toledo knew as much of the place
as any one possibly could. He took
us to the Hoffman house, where he
said he was well acquainted, and al
so showed us other places of inter
est, and when we got TO Marshal
Waggener's Office, the marshal said,
'Howdy, Tom, l see you're back with
us Tom returned the greeting and
sat down"
"He proved to be desperate man,
as l later learned, and was shot
at over 100 times after the robbery
by federal officers and others who
were after him. He returned the
shots and besides being wanted for
robbery, is wanted for resisting an
officer. The first thing he said after
he was seated was, well, l hear you
have got a charge against me for
resisting an .officer?' Well, yes,
Tom. we have the marshal replied.
You see I saw you shoot twice at us
myself This seemed to be enough
for the prisoner, and he lapsed into
silence"
Stewart broke jail at Toledo over
three years ago. He is the man who
caught the jailer in vice-like grip
and held him while the others es-
capped and then he ran. They chased
him many miles, firing at him as
they ran, but he escaped"
Stewart is known in the east as
slippery Tom" and was taken from
the Eddyville penitentiary here
Christmas night by Marshal Saun-
ders after, he had served three
year term tor having burglars tools
on him. He was arrested in Bowling
Green and while in the pen" made
a good prisoner. the officials say.

In DOUBT
As TO THE VACANCIES IN THE
COUNCILMANIC BOARD.
Mr.. Rice's Eligibility to BE lnvesti-
gated This Afternoon.

Mayor Yelser said today that he
had done nothing towards appoint
ing a councilman in place of Mr.,
Broadfoot, of the Sixth ward, who
declined to serve. The mayor said he
understood from what the city So
licitor said that Mr.. McCarty was en-
titled to hold the office.
II the solicitor holds this view of
the case, 1t is probably on the pre-
sumption that there is no vacancy
because no one has qualified as Mr.,
McCarty's successor. and Mr.. McCar-
ty may hold until a successor does
qualify. There Is considerable doubt,
however, as to whether this is cor
rect, and whether the law intended
any such thing, II there is a vacancy
the charter seems plain that the
mayor must appoint man TO MI 1t
until after the next November cleo
ton, The question now is, is there a
vacancy?
The committee appointed by the
board of education last night to in
yestigate the eligibility of School
Trustee-eleet Lyeurgus Rice, win
hold a meeting this afternoon and in
yestigate the claim that he does not
own any property. II seems that he
had property and sold Il about the
time of the election and bought more

have 10 be determined by an inyes-
tsatIon of records at the court
house.

INV|NCIBLE FORTRESS A MASS OF RUM

Generals Smyrnoff and Fock and
many others, sometimes with broken
voices, urged the step which all had
dreaded so long.
81 am sure Port Arthur would have
come to terms a month ago had 1t
not been for Stoessel, who, with bull
dog tenacity steadily refused to per-
NIT such action to be taken. lie said
he told his emperor that he would
never surrender, and he meant to
keep his word.
"The greatest loss by Port Arthur
occurred fortnight ago when Ma
jor General Kendratenko was killed.
Kendratkeno was seated in the case
ment of certain fort discussing with
other officers the best way of counter
mining against the Japanese when an
eleyen-inch shell burst, killing every
body In the easement.

Finale of the Siege.

Chefoo, Jan. 3.-Commander Kart
gov of the Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyer Vlastni, just arrived. said:
Port Arthur falls of exhaustion
exhaustion not only of ammunition,
but OF men. The remnant of the
garrison left there has been doing the
work of heroes for five days and
nights. but yesterday they reached
the limit of human endurance.
I'm the easements of forts one saw
everywhere faces black with starva-
ton, exhaustion and nerve strain.
You spoke to them, but they did not
give answer, only staring dumbly.
Lack of ammunition alone would not
have the suggestion of seeking terms,
That scant OF ammunition had long
been common in the fortress and dur
ing the past month many of the forts
had nothing with which TO return the
fire of the enemy.

Japs Lost 10000 Men.

Kartzow declares IL cost the Japa-
nese 10000 men to take the fortress
and said that some placed il at a
hundred thousand. He said the Rus
sian loss was not known, even to the
officers. AS showing the merciless-
ness of the fighting Kartzow relates
an incident of the capture of RShling
mountain, where he says five hun
dred men occupying a easement were
not able to emerge, so thickly came
the rush of the japanese. The Rus
slams tried to emerge by the use of
bayonets in the face of a machine gun
fire. Every man died. Concluding
his story, he said
picture a fort strewn with shells
and you have a picture of the end of
Port Arthur"

When an assault came they repuls-

velous they stood the final strain SO
long.
Yesterday Stoessel would still

ed early in the siege, had been both
ering him, but his determination to
fight while one man stood had not
been diminished.

can order but they cannot obey
