PORT ARTHUR HAS FALLEN

Toxic, Jan. Sc Especial -
Port Arthur has surrendered. Ex-
hausted by months of almost con-
slant fighting. decimated by disease
and casualties, and hopelessly sealed
in its rocky fortress, the gallant gar
rison has yielded to its gallant be-
siegers and the end is now written
of the most dramatic war incident
of modern times.
At 9 o'clock Saturday night Gen.
Nogi. commanding the Japanese ar
my of invasion, received from the
Russian general, Stoessel, a note say
ing that he found further resistance
useless and asking for a meeting to
arrange terms of capitulation. The
note was simple and direct and the
Japanese general Immediately named
commissioners to confer with repre-
sentatives of the Russian command
er. They met at noon Sunday to
arrange the conditions of surrender.
The nature of the terms agreed
upon is not yet known, but dispatch
es indicate that they will be of the
most magnanimous character. The
emperor of Japan, himself, through
the chief of the imperial staff, has
given public his expression that
General Stoessel has rendered COM
mendable service to his country in
the midst of difficulties" and that
it is his wish that military honors
be shown him" Military opinion is
quoted as believing that the entire
garrison will be allowed TO march
out under arms and may be sent
to Russia on parole.
The gallant defense of General
Stoessel and his men has nowhere
been given a finer appreciation than
in the land of his foes, and it is more
than likely that Japan will embrace
the opportunity to show her mag
nanimity and admiration of the gal
lantry of Port Arthurs defenders by
allowing them all the honors which
war permits a victorious army to
bestow upon the vanquished.
The siege and defense of Russia's
stronghold in the far east have been
marked by bravery, gallantry and
desperation unequalled in military
history. The story of the operations

Business Changes Hands.

The business of the Grand juno

chased by the Independent Lumber
Company. The new proprletors took
charge of the business yesterday
morning The change was some
what of surprise in the business
circles of the city. The Grand juno

been one of the strongest lumber
firms of the city.
NJ. w. Blakeslee, II. c. Buclklin
and T. c. Hickman composed the old
firm, and under their management
the business has always prospered.
Mr. Hickman is contemplating, NOV

business Messrs. Bucklin and

around Port Arthur is one of re-
peated fighting, both by land and
sea, of the most desperate and thrill
ing character. Isolated instances of
heroism that would have set the
world ringing under less overwhelm-
ing circumstances have been dwarfed
by the generally magnificent conduct
of both forces. By sea there have
been torpedo boat dashes of superb
recklessness and big ships have
ploughed through mine fields with
heroic disregard to give battle or
in wild efforts to escape. BY land
the Japanese have hurled themselves
against positions declared to be i'm
pregnable. They have faced and
scaled rocky heights crowned with
batteries and crowded with defend
ers, suffering losses that military ex-
perts say would have appalled, any
European army.
In the doomed fortress its people
have lived under devastating rain
of shell and shrapnel. On scanty
rations, besieged on every side,
knowing that hope of succor or es-
cape was vain, the garrison has
fought with stubborness that has
evoked the admiration of the world.
They met the untiring assaults of
the Japanese with a grim valor that
won even the praise of their foe, and
the fighting has been waged with a
relentlessness that often refused tru-
ces to bury the dead and collect the
wounded. over corpse-filled trench
es men have fought hand to hand
with cold steel and dubbed guns,
and at short range have hurled at
eac hother hand grenades filled with
high explosives.
The whole story is one of un-
daunted courage and sublime BRAY
cry. What Port Arthur has cost in
human life and in money no esti-
mate of even approximate correct
ness can be made. The losses have
been appalling. 1t has been reported
that in some engagements leading up
to the recent capture of 203 Meter
hill, the attacking force lost as high
as 40 per cent of the force engaged
while the garrison's losses, of which
no word has come, must have been

the spoils.
The posse opened fire upon them
before their presence was suspected

of the usual electric bulbs, had been
substituted, the ensemble presenting
a very handsome picture.
