LAPS SEND NEWS
 ON THEIR KITES.
FIRST INITIATION OF PORT AR THURS FALL WAS RECEIVED BY RUSSIANS AT MUkDEN IN THIS WAY.

Huan Chan, January 9, via Mukden.- The news of the fall of Port Arthur was received here first unofficially from the Japanese, who let loose numerous paper kites bearing letters and triumphal in scriptions. These kites were picked up by Russian soldiers long before the tel agraph gave them the news. The army received the announcement doggedly, re- gret being expressed that the troops had been unable to relieve the garrison, but confidence is felt that ultimately the Russians will be able to push back the Japanese and reach the fortress from the north.
 Russian artillery is steadily pounding the section of the Japanese line west of Sinchinpu. and about the villages of Bantoshan and Sintungun. The Japanese are using balloons and searchlights in eff forts to locate Russian batteries which have been causing them great annoy ance.
 The past two days the Japanese have made two unsuccessful attempts to break through the Russian advance lines.
 General Stakelberg, who has been i'll, has recovered sufficiently to return to the front. The weather has been warm and spring-lilke for some days, and overcoats have been discarded by many.

MOODY CONTINUES
 BEEF ARGUMENT
Represents the Government in the Famous Case Against Swift
 & Go.

Washington, January 9.-Attorney Gen lal Moody today resumed his argument on behalf of the government before the supreme court of the Unitde States in the case of Swift & Co.,, vs. the United States, commonly known as the beef trls. case. begun last Friday.
 Mr. Moody said none of the agreements or acts complained of related to man. ufacture or production, but to commerce as distinguished from manufactured pro- duction.
 They don't accomplish fusion of prop erty in this, he said, but are on the con trary simply agreements between strang- CTS to each other because affecting their freedom of action in certain respects and by that considering the case at bar is shown to be devoid of those features from which differences of opinion arose in the Northern Securities case. Thus he said the inqur- Is narrowed down for only question for the determination of the court. Whether the commerce in the case was commerce among the states, and if so whether the agreements constitute a monopoly of any part of it.

DEADLOCK STILL
 I ON IN DELAWARE
LEADERS ARE ALL l ON HAND BUT ADDlCKS AND
 ANTI-ApDIcKS FACTIONS SEEM
 EQUALLY DETERM1 IN ED.

Dover, Del, January 9.-Twenty-one ballots in the house of representatives and thirt.-nine in the senate together with the presence of practically all the state republican leaders today, failed to break or even indent the deadlock or ganization of the Delaware legislature
 One of the leaders on the scene all day was the Wilmingtonian who solidified the republican factions on the state ticket, T. Coleman Dupont. Senator Allee union, and Senator Ball. regular, also wrestled with the problem. but State Senators D. O. Moore and Connor, union republican leaders in the legislature, de clared they would hold out until the anti-Addicks or minority faction had yielded to them the right to the first choice of officers The regulars con tinue in their determination not to give over the presidency of the senate to the Addieks men.
 Adding gravity to the situation, comes tonight a re-affrmaton by the judges of their decision that the legislature must begin tomorrow baloting for United States senator. The democrats threaten to walk out, which will also drive the regulars out for fear that the unions will outnumber them, and elect J. Ed ward Addicl<s. Senator Alice sticks to his opinion and quotes several United States senators in support of it, that bal loting efould not begin tomorrow the extra nary session of the legislature having ,liminated the point of the organ izstion of the legislature from the calcu- fation bv sine die adioHrprnpnt An other disappointing feature of the dead lock is the abandonment tonight of all plans for the inauguration ceremonies next Tuesday night, except of Governor elect Lea's private arrangement for an evening reception and ball.

BIG MOGULS MEET
 AT CINCINNATI. Differences With Minor Leagues
 Are All Settled
HERMANN MAKES REPORT
Several Recommendation Are Made And During Sixteen Months 11o Cases Have Been Adjudicated.
 All Associations Must Agree.

Cincinnati, January 9.-At a long ses- sion of the National Baseball commits sion today various pending differences with the National association of organ ization of the minor leagues were set tied, making possible the settlement of other points of difference which had been much discussed but never yet brought regularly before the commission.
 The serious illness of President Pulliam of the National league for a time threat ened to compel postponement of the meeting for an indefinite period, and then when all had agreed to accept his proxy as presented by Chairman Hermann, the failure of the National Association of Minor League clubs to aequiesee in four decisions of the commission affecting off any action by the commission on mat ters of interest to the minors.
 Annual Report Presented.
 Chairman Hermann presented his an- nual report when the meeting was called to order, this being his first report since the organization of the national com mission in September 1903 He reviewed
 
 able length, and made a number of recom- mendations. During the sixteen months covered by the report, 110 cases had been adjudicated, all but four of which had been accepted by the parties interested, and eight cases are still pending. Of his ten recommendations, several referred to clearing the meaning in disputed sec tions of the national agreement, but the most important was that In regard to fictitious drafting, or covering up of play CTS. He called attention to the necessity for @ revision of this provision. but left the method to the commission. Chairman Hermann called attention to the fact that any action taken by the commission look ing to revision of the national agree ment would be only advisory. as chenges could only be made with the unanimous approval of the National and American leagues and the National association.
 Will First Decide Pending Cases.
 At the opening of the meeting 1t was announced that any demands that were to be presented to the National associa- tion would not be heard until the asso- citation has first agreed to the decision of the national commission In the four cases which have not heretofore been ac- quiesced in. In one of these, the claim of Player David L. Brain against the Buff falo club, the National association asked and was granted rehearlng. In the fol- lowing cases the ruling of the commission was accepted:
 Application of the Chicago American league club to strike the names of cer- tain players from National association bulletins; the claim of the St. Louis Ma tional league club against the Providence club on account of Player Yerkes, and the contention of the Cleveland American league club relative to the names of cer- tain players carried on reserve lists of National association clubs.
 With these points settled the commits sion was ready to consider new business, and the session was then adjourned to the Laughery club house, near Aurora, Indiana.
