NO CRITICISM OF sToEssEL
Has Earned Imperlshable Name in
Russian Military History

Russian Military History
BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 2.-The
news that General Stoessel, after sus-
tanning eleven months siege, has at
last yielded to the inevitable, is not
yet known to the Russian public, the
announcement being forbidden until IL
is officially confirmed from Russian
sources. But the best informed circles
at the war office, which are in posses
sion of unpublished portions of dis
patches taken by the torpedo boat de-
stroyers to Chefoo describing the
state of affairs in the beleaguered gar
rison, accept the news as true, and 1t Is
not too much to say that 1t was re-
ceived almost with a sense of rellet
and the fact that the remnant of the
heroic defenders is not reserved for
sacrifice at a final storming and per-
haps all be subjected to the horrors
and excesses incident on the entry Of
the victors in the passion of battle
General StoessePs surrender does not
meet with a word of criticism in Rus
sia. Even in defeat General Stoessefs
wonderful defense of Port Arthur has
earned for him an imperishable name in
Russian military annals. Ever since
confirmation was received of the de-
struction of the Port Arthur squadron
it had been felt both at the admiralty
and at the war Office that the main
reason for the sacrifice of the last man
in the defense of the fortress had gone
and the progress made by the be-
siegers during the past fortnight, cul-
minating in the capture of Wanta1
(SgnaD Hill. which broke the chain
of inner eastern forts, made it certain
that the end was at hand. 1t was con-
sidered almost certain, however, that
Stoessel would not surrender without
the emperor's authorization, and that
he probably asked to be allowed to
communicate with his majesty through
Toxic. AS the emperor is in the south
Of Russia the nature of any dispatches
sent to him is not known at the war
office.
All portions of the dispatches for
warded from Chefoo describing the ter
rible straits to which the garrison was
reduced are not published here. The
report that General Stoessel, in addi-
ton to confirming the death of General
Kondratenko. had announced the
deaths of General Fock and General
Smyrnoff, had bad effect. The news
was reflected ON the bourse by a fall
in imperial 4-per-cents to SO, the lowest
point since the war began.
At the admiralty good deal of con-
fusion exists, but it is not admitted
that the fall of Port Arthur will alter
the plans of Admiral Rojestvensky.
such an event being iully anticipated
when the Russian second Pacific
squadron left Russian waters. The
squadron is not bound for Port Ar
thur, but for Vladivostok. Neverthe-
less, the feeling is one OF gloom and a
decision to order Rojestvensky to
await further reinforcements before
proceeding would not greatly surprise
shrewd observers.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE TODAY
Pardee VIII Also Present AppoInt-
ments for Ratification
BY Associated Presa


BY Associated Presa
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 2.-One Of the
features of the proceedings in the Leg
islature tomorrow. will be the transmits
sion Of Governor Pardee's message
The document, which is being awaited
with considerable interest, will be pre-
sented to both houses shortly after they
convene.
At the same time the governor VIII
present his appointments that have
been made during the recess for rati-
fication.
Interest in legislative circles is now
divided between the appointment oi
committees and the fight for the United
States senatorship. The hotel lobbies
are now buzzing with excitement at
lendant on the efforts Of legislators TO
secure places for themselves and FRIENDS
on important committees or to attain
rich plums that will fall from the
patronage tree.
A principal part of the session tomor-
row will be devoted to the distribution
of offices among the army of attaches.
The Democratic minority, consisting o.
four members in both houses. are dill
gently seeking to secure the same
patronage that has been allotted by the
Republicans.
The campaign of the aspirants for
the senatorial toga was opened in ear
nest today. Through >ut today's ses-
sions George A. knight was con-
spicuous figure in both houses, making
a personal canvass among the mem
bers Tonight he renewed his work
about the hotel lobbies and for several
hours busted himself greeting the men
on whom his fate depends. He ex-
pressed himself as being greatly
pleased with the outlook and intimated
that there would be a. number of with
drawals before the battle was over.
Frank Flint's headquarters was the
scene of unusual activity. Throughout
the afternoon and evening he was en-
gagged in holding conferences with nu-
merous members of both houses who
sought his apartments. He said that
he had been suffering from a slight
attack of ptomaine poisoning produced
by eating oysters.
81 am perfectly satisfied with the
way in which the Legislature has been
organized" said Flint when sought for
will be elected on the second ballot
and perhaps on the first unless there
are too many complimentary votes"
DR.. Chester Rowell, the senator from
Fresno, said no new developments had
occurred in Senator Bard's fight, but
expressed his satisfaction at the way
things are progressing.
Postmaster Arthur Fisk of San
Francisco is on the ground making
whirlwind fight. His adherents have
given it out that he has more votes
up his sleeve than he has been given
credit for.
Henry I. OXnard has gotten out some
campaign literature. which has been
mailed to all the members. The cir.
culars contain his portrait and the
statement of his candidacy.
There is considerable speculation as
to the length of duration of the vot
ing for senator. Opinion is equally 5i-
vided as to whether the contest will
be brief or long drawn out and ther.
even are some who venture the asses-
ton that there is a possibility of a
deadlock.

day. Both the defending and chal.
longing clubs are putting in every eff

from which single representatives
must be selected. Trials for the pur-
pose of determining the craft best
suited for the work are to be held by
the defending organization off Char

Yacht club has put up $500 in prize
money, the three new creations only
being eligible. Other events, however.
