Hon. Josephus Daniels, on Present
Issues i'm the General Assembly"
Speaking of the convention and its
work yesterday, Mr.. Bailey said that
among the issues which the league
would probably press would be that
on the bin introduced by Mr.. Alex
ander. of MecklenOurg, providing for
a $1,000 tox and early closing for all
bar-rooms in the State; that personal
ly he was not concerned about the
accidental jug law, us whether it is
repealed Or not, enough local measures
will be put through to give the pro-
lection that anti-saioon points are now
enjoying. that Il prominent measure
which would he urged would be a
bill to include in the provisions of the
Watts bill towns of less than 200
qualified voters. In speaking of tenn
perance legislation proposed, Mr..
Bailey called @ttention 10 the strategic
value of the Everett bill To the tenn
perance cause. This bin has already
passed the Senate.
The Temperance Convention which
will meet in Raleigh on next Thurs
day will in All probability attract an
attendance of tive hundred workers

Under its provisions it will if it passes
remove every bar between Wilmington
and 9sheville on the Southern border

As to matters about which there is
doubt Mr.. Bailey called attention to
the bill which win limit the number
OF dispensaries in the county to one,
and TO the movement on the part OF
number OF extreme prohibitionists
to demand that the people of the State
be given an opportunity TO vote on the
question of State prohibition.
From what he has heard from dele

Headquarters of the Third Japanese

Tier Tsin Jan. 1.-THE victorious
Japanese army yesterday formally en-
tered Port Arthur. General NogI
with his staff entered first through the
old town and took his stand IN the
public square of the new town. The
procession, which was five miles long,
was three hours passing the salutinS
base, after which the troops passed
our of the city through the new town.
The correspondents then visited the
captured city for the first time. The
old town buildings were badly smash

damage was slight. All the shipping
in the harbor was badly damaged

they had sustained by shells.

their officers. Many of them destroy
ed the guns upon the positions they
had defended and came into the city
without permission. The infantry
loudly protested that the fortress had
been given away. They threw their
rifles and ammunition into the harbor
and proceeded to break into ware
houses and loot and drank until in
a hopeless condition. II was evident
that the surrender was not neces-
sary, as there We're 81, 600 effective
men i'm the fortress. The supply of
ammunition was short. but il was not
exhausted. Food was scarce, but
private stores We're not requiSitioned
by the military. There is no difficulty
in getting good meals in the city even
now from the stores in private posses
sion. A portion of the fortress was
capable of defense for months longer.
il was tie opinion of the non-com-
natantS at Port Arthur that the sur
render was unnecessary. as the troops
were willing and able to fight to the
bitter end. General Stoesel was much
blamed for what was characterized as
q disgraceful conclusion of a splendid
defense.
