StoesseI Gives Up the Fight to Nogi at

Scene Of Bloody Conflicts

erals. "Our men cannot move. They
sleep standing. They cannot see the
bayonets at their breasts. We can or
der, but they cannot obey
""Then you generals fight said
General Stoessel, clenching his fists.
He seemed fanatical on the subject,
but finally he was brought to see rea-
son by the insistence of his subordi-
Mates Admirads Lochinsky and Wren,
Generals Snlyrnoff and Fock and many
others, sometimes with broken voices,
urging the step which all dreaded SO
long.
81 am sure Port Arthur would have
sought terms month ago had it not
been for General Stoessel, who with
bulldog tenacity steadily refused to
permit such action to be taken. He
had told his emperor that he would
never surrender and he meant to keep
his word.
'@The greatest loss suffered by Port
Arthur occurred a fortnight ago when
Major General Kondratenko was
killed General Kondratenko was
seated in the casemate of certain
fort discussing with other officers the
best way of countermining against the
japanese when an eleven inch shell
burst, killing everybody in the case
mate.
General Nogi has taken Port Ar
thur with his artillery and his tunnels.
His rife bullets were seldom found to
be of any use.
1--WE constantly endured lombard
ment fiercer than any in history. The
Japanese periodically assaulted, and
then, if repulsed, calmly resumed the
bombardment.
1--WE who came here today do not
know the terms of the surrender sug-
gested by General Stoessel to General
Nogi nor the answer to them, having
left Port Arthur even before the
messenger had been dispatched"
Garrison Gradually Worn Down.
Continuing his story the officer said:
"Had the ammunition held out the
fortress would have held out indefi
Initely. For months we held Port Ar
thur by bayonets alone, until flesh and
blood could do no more. When man
/ fell there was none other to replace
him. Thus the garrison was gradually
worn down. Two hundred-three Meter
hill alone cost us 5000 men. The cap
ture of that hill was the beginning OF
the end"

Japs to Offer Peace.

In diplomatic circles where there is
every reason to believe there is the
best information regarding the plans
of the japanese, it is stated that the
fall of Port Arthur will be promptly
followed by an offer of peace from ia
pan. 1t is understood that a strong eff
fort will be made to have the offer
come through President Roosevelt. 1t
is even suggested that the terms
might include an arrangement which
would give Russia an outlet through
the Persian gulf.
Pope Hopes for Peace
Rome, Jan. 3.-News Of the fall OF
Port Arthur was received here yester-
day at first with incredulity. Pope
Plus, on hearing the news, exclaimed:
Let us hope it is an augury that
the end of the war is near, now thai
both nations have proved THEN
mettle."

Rejoice in Toxic.


Toxic was a scene of rejoicing, peo-
lie of all ranks finding in the out
come compensation for all the sacri-
flee of life and money that was en-
tailed in the ten months siege.
To what extent the fall of Port
Arthur will make for the restoration
CT peace is an open question. There
is an encouraging note in the ex-
preston by Baron Hayashi, the
Japanese minister at London, of hope
that in some way it will facilitate
final peace, though the pacific note is
perhaps lost in the later words of
the minister, who calls attention
to the fact that the besieging army
will now be free to go north, where
It will be an offset to the reinforce
ments General Kuropatkin has bee
receiving from Russia since the ba

Long Siege Ended.

London, Jan Port Arthur, whose
hills 81 months have run red VITA
blood CT tie LIayest o. mo WaI.iAe
nations, has at last succumbed to
the fierce tenacity of the Japanese at
tack. General Stoessel, most
stubborn in carrying out the will of
his sovereign, has seen the advance
of the besieging army again in mo-
mentum and energy until to hold out
longer would have been crime
against humanity.
Authorities at st. Petersburg, in
the absence of direct official news
from General Stoessel that Port
Arthur has surrendered, have not
permitted the news to boone public.
The emperor is in the south of Rus

timebeing in the dark as to what

The Warren Construction company,

Archambeau, the Walla Walla repre-

Mr.. Archambeau said this morning.
There is considerable preliminary

DIVORCE NOT so EASY TO GET
Judge Brents Says That Other Cause
for Complaint Must Be Filed.

In the divorce case begun by Mrs.
Louise Rhymes against Curtiss
Rhymes, Judge Brents decided this
morning that Mrs. Rhymes must show
further cause for action other than
the mere fact that she and Mr.. Rhymes
are not suited to each other and can
not live agreeably together. Mr..
Rhymes filed a demurrer to the orig
inal complaint, alleging that there was
not sufficient cause for complaint to
entitle his wife to divorce and Judge
Brents sustained the demurrer this
morning Mrs. Rhymes alleged that
she and her husband had a mutual dis
like for each other; frequently quar-
reling and that it was impossible for
them to live together as man and wife.

MUCH PAINTING THIS SPRING.
Paint Should Be Bought and Painters
Engaged Early.

Preparations are being made that in
dictate extensive improvements to town
property this spring. The paint deal
ers and the painters are looking for
ward to a busy season this spring.
A prominent paint dealer, who car
ries the products of one of the largest
paint and varnish manufactures of
the country, stated yesterday that
never before had he had so many in
quiries regarding paint at this time of
the year, nor had he known so many
property owners to be contemplating
painting. He was confident that the
coming season would be big one, and
he had put in an especially large stock
to take care of his trade.
Other dealers and painters in town
have mad practically the same expert
ence.
1t is notable that both paint dealers
and painters strongly advocate the i'm
portance Of property owners figuring
on their painting early, before the reg
ular painting season opens. The rea-
sons put forth are sound.
Early preparation, the deciding on
the kinds Of paint, the colors to be
used, engaging practical painter, in
sures getting the work done on time.
and having the benefit of the improv-
ed appearance of your house from the
beginning of the season.
The combinations of colors used on
house are Of considerable moment,
and should not be decided upon hur-
riedly A single trimming not in far-
mony will often make a house an ag-
gravation. Several paint manufacture
ers, approaching the value of this fea-
ture, have an organized party of ar
lists and architects, whose sole duty
is to specify good color combinations.
Local dealers report that it is a COM
mon practice now for paint buyers to
give them photo or drawing Of their
houses to submit to paint makers for
color specifications.
Another point in connection with Sc
Letting colors is that an early decision
will enable the dealer to order any
special colors he may not regularly
carry in stock.
There is economy, too, in engaging

When the season is in full swing and
the painter has many jobs ahead, it is
often a speculation when your work
can be taken care of. Painting should
be done early in the spring, as soon
as the moisture is out Of the lumber
and the weather settled. The careful
householder has all the details Of the
work arranged many weeks ahead.

Ere At Heath Springs.
Mr.. J f.. Cieed's store and
stock of goods at Heath Springs
were destroyed by fire about 3 a.
M, Wednesday morning. The
fire was Of Incendiary origin, and
the supposition Is that The store
was robbed and then burned TO
cover the crime. Some goods,
identified as goods from the Creed
store, were found concealed in a
thlcket near tho town. A negro
who stole u cow from Bill Rut-
ledge the same night of the fire is
suspected as the iucendiary. Mr..
Creed's loss ls fully 5000, with
only 81, 500 insurance. Only a
few months ago Mr.. Creed suf-
fered heavy losses by a fire which
destroyed almost the entire bus
iness portion of the town. We
are told that this is the seventh
time he has suffered loss by fire.
