LATEST NEWS FROM PORT
ARTHUR.

A dispatch from the headquarters
of General Nogi's victorious army at
Port Arthur states that the japanese
during the siege have lost more than
$4,000 soldiers"
The surrender came as surprise to
the japanese, who did not know the
desperate straits Of the garrison. 1t
had been believed that the siege would
last at least month longer.
General Nogi reports that be found
$4,000 persons in Port Arthur, OF
whom $4,000 are soldiers or sailors.
The sick and wounded number 2O,CO0.
"Commcn provisions and breal are
plentiful" he says, "but there is a
scarcity of meat and vegetables.
There are no medical supplies" The
japanese are dong their utmost in
the work of relief.
General Steessel's last dispatch pre-
vious to his offer to surrender is made
public in St. Petersburg. "Only a
quarter of the garrison is alive" he
saws. "Of this number a m"jorit y
are sick, and, being obliged to act on
the defensive without even short in
tervals for repose, are worn to shad
ows."

FINE MARYLAND TOBACCO.

Messrs. j. D. Kremelberger 4 Co.,
of Baltimore, report that the year
1904 brought one of the best Mary
land crops to our market that has
been here for some years. 1t has ex-
cellent quality, light character, good
leaf and color, and was, therefore,
very suitable for the European mar
kets. The number of hogsheads was
some " hat in excess of the crop Of the
previous year, but on account OF its
light chars Ger the number Of pounds
will hardly have exceeded that of the
preceding crop.
The demand was good throughout
the year, and there was at no time
any accumulation of stock to speak Of
Owing to the fact that the French
contract, which called for about TO-,
900 bogsheads, on account of keen
competition was taken at lower fig.
ures than last year, prices ruled low,
er after the French contract was
awarded early in June. This applied
not only to the French, but also tc
the light-handling grades, with the ex,
ception of common grades, which
were very strong. Prices ranged
from 81 cents to 10 cents, with occa'
sional sales below and above these fig
ures. For some fancy tobaccos up to
16 cents has been paid.
Toward the close of the season
when it became evident that the crop
in regard to quantity bad been some
what overestimated: prices hardened
and were from J cent to | cent higher
for all common to good tobaccos.
Although the crop showed good
ri pc colors, bright-colored goods were
comparatively scarce, especially as
far as seconds were concerned. On
account of the dry spring and the late
adjudication Of the French contract,
the bulk of the receipts came on our
IN arket from July to September, in
consequence Of which warehouses
were at times taxed to their utmost
capacity.
The new crop is estimated to be
from 10 to 90 per cent. smaller than
the previous one, that part of the crop
which was cut early being housed in
good time and, having cured well, will
show up satisfactorily, but the later
planting suffered considerably on &C.
count of the drouth, in consequence
of which much short and coarse tobac-
co may be expected. So far about
$50 hogs heads of the new crop have
come on our market, which formed a
rather slow sale.

Mr.. Frank / Duncan, of Baltimore
county, was elected State Insurance
Commissioner Wednesday by the

at Annapolis to succeed Mr.. Lloyd

Duncan was not unexpected, as it was
known that Governor Warfield was
anxious that he should be the next
commissioner 1t was not made
unanimously, however, as State Treas
urer Murray Vandiver, who has been
a firm supporter Of Mr.. Wilklnson's
aspirations to reelection, voted for
the incumbent. Governor Warfield,
however, was supported by State
Comptroller Gordon Atkinson, snd
Mr.. Vandiver was voted down. The
choice was made in the boards exec
utive session, which lasted several
hours, and the result was announced
at it's close by Governor Warfeld.

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. q Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumpt;vc 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food ne consumptive needs
most.
Scots Emulsionis themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough FOR sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
