Scranton, Pa, Feb. I'm a sermon
on "Child Labor" at st. Peters cath
edral, Right Rev. Hoban, bishop of
Scranton, came out unequivocally for

GENERAL SToESSEL HOSTILE.
Charges That Port Arthur Surrender
Was Premature.


Colombo.-General Stoessel, the for
mer commander of Port Arthur, and
the Russian officers, prisoners, accom-
panying him, have arrived here from
Japan by way of Shanghai on board
the French line steamer Australian.
In an interview the general denied
the statements published to the effect
that Port Arthur was surrendered pre-
maturely. He was especially indignant
at the statement made by a newspaper
hat there were at the time of the sur
"ender 25,0UJ able bodied men in Port
Arthur capable of making a sortie,
hundreds Of officers, all well nourish-
ed, plenty Of ammunition, the largest
magazine being untouched and full to
the roof, and that there was an ample
supply of food for three months, even
if no fresh supplies were received. The
general viewed the statements as I'M
justified and unsupported by facts.

New York, Feb. 6.-Ice -floes COM
pletely filled New York harbor Sun
day, completely rendering the passage
of vessels into and out of the port
slow and difficult. In the narrows the
ice pack was SO dense that even the
powerful transatlantic liners had trou-
BILE in forcing passage. One of the
serious results of the presence of vast
foes in the lower bay during the past
four days has been the breaking and
carrying away Of great numbers of
spar and can buoys in the various
ship channels. Captains of coastwise
steamers and Sandy Hook pilots have
reported number Of narrow escapes
from grounding caused by the displace-
ment of buoys.
All the steamers Of the sound feet

occasions the fleet of New York bound
steamers was compelled to unite and
attack the ice in wedge formation. Ow-

clear of ice during the day, and the fer
ries were operated with little Interrupt

Narrow Escape of Crew Of 80.
Lewes, Del, Feb. 6.-Thirty men
narrowly escaped drowning Sunday In
the icy waters of the Harbor Of Ref
uge at the Delaware breakwater, and
after being rescued with the greatest
difficulty by the crews of two tugs
they were forced to make their way
to shore afoot over the heavy ice foes
with which the Delaware river and
bay is blocked. The men whose lives
were imperiled were Captain Jacobs
and his crew of 20 men OF the Phila-
delphia city iceboat No. 8, which made
it's way from Philadelphia in an effort
to make a channel for vessels ice
bound at the breakwater.
The icehoat collided with the sunken
barge Santiago, the masts and buoys
of which had been carried away by the
ice jam. The iceboat had become
wedged in the mass of ice between the
Harbor Of Refuge and the old break
water and was unable to proceed.
While drifting in this manner the ice
boat struck the barge and large hole
was stove in her hull. Captain Jacobs
signals of distress were answered by
the tugs Teaser and Boxer. The tugs
experienced much difficulty in reach
ing the rapidly sinking iceboat. The
ice jam prevented the tugs from dock
ing and the crew Of the iceboat, after
being taken off, stiff from exposure
and nearly exhausted, managed to
complete perilous afoot across the
ice fields to shore.
Navigation is almost at standstill
on the Delaware because of the ice
which is jamming from the stream
from Trenton, N. j., to Breakwater
and extends nearly 10 miles out to sea
There is a large fleet of vessels Of all
kinds at the breakwater unable to
make any Roadway against the jam.

THE PAST WEEK or THE WAR.
Battle OF Hun River Was a Fiercely
Fought One.

Fought One.
Last week witnessed the close of
what will probably be known as the
battle Of the Hun river. The Russians
had shown activity all along the line,
but the most aggressive work was
done against the Japanese left wing.
Oku's defenses were heavily lombard.
ed for several days and there were con-
slant clashes between advanced bodies
Of troops that were attempting to Sc
cure strong positions. The Japanese
finally took the aggressive and the re-
suit has practically been failure of
Kuropatkin to gain a single advantage
by his winter movement.
The fighting has been fierce and I'M
der the worst conditions possible. A
low temperature and binding snow
storms have subjected both sides to
great suffering and such misery Of war
has probably not been endured since
some Of the Napoleonic campaigns.
Wounds Of every sort have been agon-
izing and the impossibility of giving
quick relief in the freezing atmosphere
has resulted in large mortality.
Despite the adverse conditions, the
activity has continued in a desultory
way all through the week. The Rus
SLAMS have been driven to the right
bank of the Hun, and while the Jap
anese may not feel like following up
any advantage they have gained, the
moral effect of this Kuropatkin fail
ure has been bad. It has shown that
the boosted Russian superiority in win.
ter campaigning is as much myth
as many other things have been shown
to be, and the news of the failure
comes to European Russia at the most
inopportune time.

LAYTON MATRIMONIAL MARKET
Is Dull. Better Business is Expected
Next Month

The Lawton State Democrat
gives the following write up on
local matrimonial conditions:
The matrimonial market has
struck another dull streak, and the
marriage license clerk, in the pro-
bate court, has not issned a license
for two days past. The indica-
tions are that the market will be
weak and sluggish during the
remainder of this month While
there is steady demand for
pretty young girls, there are but
few on the market Young and
good looking widows, free from
membranes, and with a little
ready cash, find a ready market
Alfalfa widows and old maids
rank with Gamers, while The old
bachelors are graded as scalawags
consigned to the quarantine pen.
By the first Of next month things
will begin to pick up in the matri-
monial market, particularly just
before and after the fourth as all
holidays have a vigorous and
healthy effect upon the matrimon.
tally inclined person.
This article may seem a little
ambiguous, as it was written BY
the market reporter Of the State
Democrat and naturally he is more
adapted to handling cattle and hog
market than he is to handling
matrimonial market.
