On Dec. 10 the East Keekwan fort

City a Smoking Ruin.

Nogi's officers report the fortress and
CITY OF Port Arthur a chaos of destruc-
ton. On all sides are the hideous evil
dences of the accurate gun fire of the
japanese artillery. Hardly a house is
intact. Roofs are blown off. The smok-
ing ruins of buildings appear Oh all
sides. In the harbor are seen the smok-
ing hulks of the vessels Gen. Stoessel
ordered destroyed after he made the offer
of surrender. In the streets, Uttered
with debris, are the decaying carcasses
of animals. Many of them show how
the starving people have been compelled

Toxic is wildly joyous over the surren-

extras were the messengers who carried
the news to the holiday crowds in the
streets. Crowds grabbed the papers and
repeated the cries. Thus was the news
carried throughout the city and within
few minutes the firing of aerial bombs
and daylight rockets began in all parts
of the city. Bands appeared ard score
of small professions formed and sursed
through the principal streets. Monday
night the celebration was continued With
the burning of much red fire. Japan has
paid a heavy price for the Russian for
tress. The prospect of its early posses
sion cheered the people as no other
event of the war has done.

Daniel Tuigg, who was brought from
Warsaw, Ind, and placed in Longclitfe
hospital for the insane several weeks ago,
made his escape and all search for him has
been in vain 1t is supposed he got away
on freight train. Tuigg is the man who
shot three men on Pennsylvania passen-

ago, and he is dangerous man to be
at large. He seems sane on all subjects
except being under the impression that
enemies are pursuing him for the purpose
of killing him.

Ships i'll Harbor Destroyed.

In accordance with Admiral Wiren's
orders the disabled battleship Sevastopol
outside the harbor was blown up. and
the other large Russian ships inside the
harbor were destroyed as thoroughly as
possible. The half-sunllen ships Retzi-
van, PoItava and Pallada caught fire as
the other ships were blown up inside of
and near the entrance to the harbor. Dur
ing the siege it is estimated that the
japanese lost more men than the total
number Of the fortress defenders.

Toxic Opinion on His Blowing Up
Russian Ships.
In Toxic Gen. Stoessel is being sharp
ly criticised for destroying the Russian
warships, attempting to choke the en-,
trance to the harbor of Port Arthur and
dispatching the torpedo boat destroyers
to Chefoo, subsequently to his otter to
surrender the fortress. The Nichi Nlchl
says that while Gen. Stoessel made
gallant defense, his action in blowing
up the ships after he had offered to sur
render leaves a lasting blemish upon his
military reputation. His action indicates
a want Of sincerity and leaves no room
for an extension of treatment of him

by the bravery and gallantry of his de-

nhiparn Chicago trade, published

This period ordinarily is marked by
Iessened effort in production, stock
taking, repairs and fresh plans involy-
ing most attention. Commercial de-
velOpments, however, are seen to car
ry encouragement upon which to de-
pend for continued improvement. Re
action in retail activity after the rec
rd-breaking holiday trade was provid-
ed for, and its effect was made less
apparent by the renewed demand for
seasonable goods induced by stormy
weather, The depletion of stocks has
been very satisfactory in heavy wear
ing apparel, household needs and foot
| wear.
| Wholesale trade was no lighter than
! expected, there having been good buy
ing of woolens, blankets and mems
F., furnishings. Orders for spring ship
ments of dry goods, cotton goods and
| boots and shoes came forward salts
factOrily. and country advices reflect
steady sales and increasing consump-
ton in staple lines.
This makes firm basis for future
jObbing operations. Recent purchases
| have been discounted to larger ex-
! tent than formerly; mercantile coi.ec-
hons remain steady, and are attended
with q smaller proportion Of defaults.
| Western railroad earnings make an
improved exhibit over year ago, and
would be larger were difficulties or
transportation less hindered by snow
storms and lack of cars. Manufac-
tured products of the mills and fur
naces are offered in enormous quanti-
ties for prompt shipment, and the
movement of grain mas doubled. High
er prices again appear for iron and
steel and building materials show
much strength, particularly cement,
which has become dearer. New de-
mands aggregate satisfactory tonnage
for rails, wire and pig iron, and rail-
way commitments included many cars
and locomotives.
Receipts of lumber were 25.9o9OOO
feet, against 15,217OOO feet year
ago. Yard dealings were fairly active.

tributiye trade generally is marking
time, while past results and future
prospects are subjects of consideration.
A period of marked, even unexpected,
activity in holiday goods Of higher
than usual quality has bought to a
closed a year which, because Of marked
improvement in the last quarter, has
ended better than it began, and GER
tainly in far better shape than seemed
possible at the turn of the year.
Wholesale trade Is naturally of the
lightest at this season of stock taking
and inventory, and stormy weather
and the furry in raw cotton have been
additional chilling influences. Rather
less than the usual annual clearing
sales have occurred because OF the no.
table absence of stocks of finished
goods pressing for sale. Collections
