Regiment Failed to Advance and Its
 Gallant Leader Lost Life.
 London. Jan. 16.-The correspondent at Port Arthur of The Daily Mail de- scribes an incident of the siege of the fortress when, after a disastrous at, tempt to capture a Russian position, a Japanese reserve regiment was ordered to renew the attempt. Not a man stir red The major in command advan- ced alone, vainly calling to his men to follow. He was soon killed. and af- ter time the regiment, apparently struck with remorse. advanced to the assault. which completely failed.
 The regiment was sent back to the rear, punished with forced drills and compelled to listen to services in mem ory of its dead major before 1t was allowed to go to the front again.
 Exchange Of Prisoners Agreed To.

 Inasmuch as the arrangements are not yet complete. MT. Peters refused to divulRe the name of the firm mak- ing the offer. but he declared that 1t was a thoroughly reliable and respcn- siblo banking institution of the South.
 The plan proposed is that the cotton shall be placed In the custody Of trus- tees who will pay the money. and see that the cotton is stored in ware house acceptable to insurance compa- nies. The cotton is not to be sold un- til the owner Is willing.

MINERS IN CONVENTION.
Session at Indianapolis Listens to the
 Reports of Oficerr.

70 Indianapolis, Jan. 16.--The seven
 teenth annual national convention of the United Mine Workers of America | was opened today by President John
 Mitchell in Tomlinson Hall. Nearly 600 delegates were in their seats, repre- | senting every one of the twenty-five
 districts. The largest delegations were from the centr'l districts.
 Reports from the districts show a shortage in work compared with pre-
 vious years. In Indiana the average has been less than three days in the
 week.. It is said present conditions
 would tend toward a further reduc- tion in wages were there a scale to
 be fixed this year.
 The approaching joint conference
 of the central Pennsylvania district al Altoona Is being considered with some anxiety by the mine workers. It is believed the operators will endeavor to force a heavy reduction in the
 scale. The convention is expected to take some action anticipating such a condition.
 Vice Persiedtn Lewis made his annual report. He gave brief account of his work during the year and in summing up said:
 During the year there has been kept in the field a large force of organizers, in addition to the national board mem-
 bers. On account of general strikes in some districts and many local troubles in others, the time. of the board mem- bers and organizers could not be de- voted entirely to the work or organiZ- ing. Consideration the numerous diff faculties to overcome, the report of my colleagues will show that numerically the organization has held its own.
 "The opposition to the organization
 has become so pronounced that in some districts the organizers have been
 viciously assaulted by guards who are
 employed by the corporations antagon- istic to labor unions. Some methods should be provided for the protection of those entrusted with the work of organizing"
 Following the speech of Vice-Presi-
 dent Lewis, Secretary-Treasurer W. B. Wilson read his annual report. No time was lost by Mir. Wilson in reach ing the vital point of his report-the large expenditure of money during the
 past year for the aid of strikers.
 "we have never furnished as much
 support" he said, "in proportion to the
 number of men involved. in any of our
 previous strikes. It would have taken
 a per capita tax of ST cents per month
 per member to have paid the expendi-
 lures of the organization during the
 year. Our present weekly expenditures
 are much greater than the average
 weekly expenditures of the year just closed, and if continued will require
 nearly 50 cents per month per member
 to maintain them"
 The convention adjourned until to-
 morrow

Russian losses during those two days were three officers killed and ten woun- ded and fifteen soldiers killed and forty mine wounded"
 The general adds that the cavalry captured a quantity of stores and pris- oners and says that the Japanese stores at Yienkow were ablaze for nearly the whole night of January I2.
 The text of Genera lKuropatkins re- port follows:
 During the evening of January 10, one and a half companies of Japanese infantry and a half squadron of Japa- nese dragoons were defeated with great loss.
 January Il, a Japanese company and two squadrons which were occu- pying New Chwang were driven out by our Cossacks, who occupied the place and afterwards pursued the com pany. defeating it and inflicting heavy loss. The same night our patrols damaged the railroad line. telegraph line. a train and two locomotives.
 During these two days our cavalry defeated several small attachments and captured one officer. fourteen soldiers and 500 carts with stores. Our casual ties were three officers killed and ten wounded and fifteen soldiers killed and forty-nine wounded.
 January 12. our patrols damaged the railroad six miles from Ylnkow. At D. m. January 12, a Russian detachment reached Yinkow. Our artillery con nonaded the station, set fire to the stores and later stormed the station. The Japanese opened fire with rifles and machine guns and our men sought shelter in ditches and again attacked until they reached the railroad line, when a strong column of the Japanese infantry appeared, advancing from Tashikiow. Our forces being inferior retired. carrying away nearly all the killed and wounded. The stores at Yinkow were ablaze nearly the whcle night.
 Tt is now cold at night time but warm and bright during the day.

and the blood-surged face of the one
who had led the charge caused Peter

fell limp TO the floor. A glance

work was ended, he quilted the room
without so much as a glance at the
