FEMALES
 IN COURT.
Prisoners From The
 Tenderl0in.
The Number of Arrests The Past Year is Startling Ninety Per Cent of Ahe Victims Were Women.

New York. Jan 14.A startling in- crease in the number of women ar rested within the jurisdiction of the Jenerson Market court, which in cludes the Tenderloin precinct, is shown in the figures for 1904 made public to-day. The total number of persons arraigned in the court during the year was 26,T ,T23. Oh the $22, ll9 paid in fines, S1S,2O3 was imposed for disorderly conduct, and ninety per cent of the persons charged with this offence were women who had been ar rested in the Tenderloin precincI In this connection, the records show that more arrests for all offenses were made in the Tenderloin precinct dur ing the year that in all the other pre- cincts of the district combined. The records show also that during tue past eleven months when Captain John J. COttrell has been in command of the Tenderloin station, more arrests for disorderly conduct, burglary, main taining disorderly houses and gamb- liz" ,"us's haU been made than in any similar period in the past.

GOOD DIN.
 ING TABLES
Hampson.Sellew Sell the
 Fest Tables.

When one buys a dining table, the kind that is made the best and has the best materials in the construction is the table that they are after. There are all kinds of tables on the market as well as there are all kinds of any thing else and therefore it is well to go to some reliable dealer and see the best that there is. The Hampson- Sellew Company has always made 1t . point to give its customers the bese tables there are to be had and is most eyacting with the manufacturers who supply them with tables. The con struction of dining table ought 10 be such as to permit it being taken apart easily: 10 be easily frightened when- ever there is a tendency to grow shaky and eoose. The Hampson-Sellew tab'es are not put together with screws. but are bolted together with heavy bolts. They can therefore be frightened up aiid made just as solid twenty years from now as the day they were first made

FRENCH CRITICIZED.

Tokio, Jan 14.-The French. are sharply criticized for permitting the shirs of the second Pacific squadron of the Russian navy to make a pro loIged stay at Madagascar. Hereto fore the Japanese press and people, realizing the peculiar position in which France was placed, were not disposed to judge her action too severely, but the Asahi to-day says:
 Tt is no longer possible to overlook the French non-observance of neutral. ity nor her disregard for the Obliga. tlons of neutral nation.
 ''Coaling the ships of the second Pa cific squadron in French ports has culminated in allowing Rear Admiral Rojestvensky to remain for twelve days awaiting achievements and in the use of Madagascar as base of op- erations against the Japanese fleet, now reported in the Indina ocean.
 ''Such action is little less than hos tile. and if France is sincere in her promises of strict neutrality the ships of the second Pacific squadron ought long ago have been sent away or dis. armed.
 Further temporlzing for the pur- pose of rendering assistance to the Russian vessels must be considered n serious breach of neutrality"

EMPEROR ADDRESSES ARMY.

St Petersburg. Jan 14.-EmperO. Nicholas has addressed the following rescript to the army and navy:
 "Port Arthur has passed into the hands of the enemy. During eleven months the fight had been going on in its defense. More than seven months its noble defenders had been cut off from the rest of the world. Without any positive assurance of relief. they continued to fight and did everything in their power to check the progress of the enemy. sparing neither life nor hearts blood to uphold the honor of the Russian people. -...-......---....-.---
 Russia. with pride and admiration, followed each move In the contest, TEo whole world was astounded by their saIlantry. but daily their ranks were thinned. their powers of resist. ance diminished. and. under repeated attacks by the enemy, they were obliged to give way.
 Peace. honor and undying memory will be the portion of you Russians who have fallen in the defense of Port Arthur. Far from home. you have laid your bodies upon alien soil-a sacrifice to the dictates of your own honor and the demands of your emperor.
 Peace and honor be your portion. Always will you he So ileld in our hearts and memory.
 Honor to the living! May God re store you to health and strength. and give you patience to face this disaster will which you are confronted.
 'My gallant troops and sailors Do not let this sorrow dismay you. Our enemy is strong and daring. This fight agaiDst them occurs 1.Gd0 miles fr0m oui home: but Russia is powerful. In the thousand years Of it's existenre there have been still heavier trials. worse and more threatening danr.Ts, but Russia ever arose from trial with renewed force and strength. Du no: lei your souls be troubled by lack Of success and heavy losses. Russian strength grows with adversity.
 With all Russia. join in the be- nef that the time is coming when God will give strength to our glorious army and navy to arise and break the forces of inc enemy.

DOUGLAS BUSY.
Bay State Governor is Try. ing to Settie rail River
 Strike.

Boston, Mass, Jan 14-The outcome of the conference to be held to-day at the once of tIO\ ernor William l.. Dougias, at the state house. Ue,ween Committee or the cotton goods manu- factulers of Fa4l River and reprcsen- tau>es of the operatives who have been on strike nearly six months was awaited With considerable interest. i,
 Governor Douglas is extremely de- Sirous of bringing the manufacturers and operati> es together in an amicable and honorable settlement of their off 1erences. To this end he delegates his personal representative, H. T. Drake, or Brockton, to investigate conditions in Fall River and arrange, if possible, for conference at which the governor shall hear claims of both sides and en- ueavor to bring about settlement.
 The textile unions of Fall River last night voted to give committee from the unions full power to act in the matter of ending or continuing the strike, and the manufacturers associa- tion also delegated d committee to act authoritatively for thenf in fixing terms for a settlement These com mittees planned to meet in the govern- or's office this. forenoon.
 Mir Drake stated to the Associated press last night that he was very much pleased with the progress made in the negotiations.
 The labor union representatives and inc manufacturers were prompt, and before 10 o'clock the hour set for the conference. nearly all of them had ar rived at the state house. No one would discuss the situation beyond saying that the indications were hopeful for settlement. It was expected that the meeting would be protracted as it was the purpose of the governor to discuss the situation thoroughly. The con- ference was private. It was held in the governors office
 The last thing before the governor went into the conference. John P. Coughlin mayor of Fall River, called upon him. Mayor Coughlin was pres ent at Thursdays conference at Fall River at which to-day's meeting was planned. Mayor COughlin had decided not to attend the conference to-day, thinking it best to limit the attendance to the persons directly interested. A. ter Governor Douglas has formerly opened the conference he submitted his pronosition which was. it is under- stood. that the strike be declared off at once and the operatives go back to work immediately leaving the issues to be disnoSed of in some manner to be decided unOn at to-dav's conference
 The committees of the mill men and the labor representatives retired to separate rooms to discuss the matter.
