TERMS OF THE SURRENDER
The Fate of Port Arthur Being Sealed, the.
Japs Take Possession Under General
Nogi.

lug lSinIorcemenIs General huro-
patkin has been receiving from RUS
STA since the battle of Shakhe river.
The spirit OF the Russians may be-
Judged by the statement OF the secre-s
tary Of the embassy at London that
the campaign will be renewed with
fresh vigor in the spring, and that the
nation will not be content to permiE
Port Arthur to remain In the hands
Of the Japanese.
Both in Paris and in London the
opinion is that the squadron under
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky, which
started from Libau for the far East
three months ago, will have to retracei
Its way home, as adherence to the
original plans would invite disaster
without probability of effecting juno
ton with the warships at present in
the harbor Of Vladivostok.
That Japan may not be permitted to
retain possession of Port Arthur with
out dispute is shown in the fact that
Paris newspapers are already reviying
the claim made in 1901 that the hold
ing Of that position, commanding the
eastern seas, by the Japanese would
be menace to European powers.
There is an expectation in diploma
tic circles in st. Petersburg that some
one of the powers may make tender
| of friendly Offices, and the intimation
Is conveyed that the United States
may take the initiative Should this
be the case it could only be upon as
surances from both the warning pow
ers that the tender would be received
by them in good part st
| Early Tuesday two Russian torpedo
launches arrived at Chefoo and there
were then seven Japanese torpedo
boat destroyers in the harbor Later
In the morning four of the destroyers
departed.
: Russian officers who have reached
Chefoo relate that the Port Arthur
garrison was completely worn out by
five days of continuous fighting, that
supply of food was about exhausted,
and that the limit of resistance had
been reached when General Stoessel
made his offer Of capitulation.

u. S. COURT DECIDES
FOR SECURITIES co.
Company Given Right To Dispose OF North
ern Pacific Stock-Defeat For Harri-
man Interests.

Northern Pacific railway company re
ceived by the Northern Securities com
pany from the Northern Pacific rail
road company. The decision of the
higher court gives the Northern
Securities company the right to dis
pose Of this stock. Hartman and
Pierce, when the Northern Securities
company had been declared by the
United States supreme court to be an
Illegal combination, demanded the re.
turn Of the original stock they con.
tributed at the time of the organization
and combination. The Northern Sc
curities company, it was claimed, in
tended to make pro rata distribution
of the stock of the contributing com.
pany.

Port Arthur, whose hills have for
months run red with the blood Of thu
bravest Of two warlike nations, has al
last snccnmbed to the fierce tenacity
of the Japanese attack. General
Stoessel, most stubborn in carrying out
the will Of his sovereign, has seen the
advance OF the besieging army gain in
momentum and energy, until to hold
out longer would have been crime
against humanity. The conditions of
the surrender are not yet known, but
in all quarters it is anticipated that
they are such as an honorable soldier
may accept from a brave and vic
torious enemy. hs..y
At 9:z5 o'clock Monday night the
commiss. oners completed the signing
of the capitulation arrangement. Both
armies had suspended hostilities five
hours earlier. The city of Port Ar.
thur will be occupied by the japanese
Tuesday. s@
The authorities at st. Petersburg
in the absence of direct official news
from General Stoessel that Port Ar.
thur has surrendered, have not per-
mitted the news to become public.
Emperor Nicholas is in the south OF
russia, and his ministers are for the
time being in the dark as to what dis
patches have been sent to him from
the front.
Toxic was the scene of rejoicing
people of all ranks finding in the out
come compensation for all the sacri
fee Of life and money that was en-
tailed in the ten-months' siege.
To what extent the fall of Port Ar
thur will make for restoration Of
peace is an open question. There is
an encouraging note in the expression
by Baron Hayashi, Japanese ministe;
at London. of the hope that in soIle
way it will facilitate final peace,

in the later words of the minister

Ninth Legislative Session Is Convened At
the State Capitol and Two Houses Are
Organized.
States For Organizations Are Carried
Through In the Two Houses and the
Bodies Adjourn Early. III.

There were the usual scenes of the
opening Of the legislative session about
the capitol building. With the activity
Of carpenters and decorators about the
house chamber and in the halls was min
gled the activity Of the legislators and
two classes Of workmen, architectural
and legislative Wed with each other in
the celebrity Of their efforts. In both
houses there was q large crowd present
to witness the opening ceremonies, al.
though the house had probably the
greatest number, attracted by the nov
city Of tho new hall and the interest that
attaches to the house over the staid and
formal proceedings Of the senate. The
carrying out Of the slated organization
was accomplished without hitch in
both houses and early adiournments
were taken until today, when both
houses met in joint session to witness
the inaugural ceremonies and hear the
messages Of the retiring and incoming
governors. The state officers will meet
in body in the governors office shortly
before 2 o'clock and will proceed from
there to the house chamber where the
houses in joint session will be waiting to
receive the messages.
