laps ENTER PORT ARTHUR.
Conditions Were not SO bad as Painted
Disqraeeful Surrender.

Headquarters of the Third Army at
Port Arthur, via Tien Tsin, Jan. l6,-The
victorious Japanese army yesterday for
mally entered Port Arthur. General Nogi
with his staff entered first through the old
town and took his stand in the public
square Of the new town. The army was
represented by one regiment from each
brigade.
The procession, which was five miles
long, was three hours passing the saluting
base after which the troops passed out of
the city through the new town. The COL
respondents then visited the captured city
for the first time. The old town buildings
were badly smashed by shells but in the
new town the damage was slight. All the
shipping in the harbor was badly damaged
by shell fire, the warships being prac-
tically useless owing 10 the injuries they
had sustained by shells.
Proposals for the surrender of Port
Arthur were first made December 20 at
council of war. General Stoessel was in
favor of surrender but some of bis general
officers were bitterly opposed to it. The
regimental officers and the troops were not
coDsuIted. The first news they had of the
surrender was January 1st after General
Stoessel had communicated with the Japa-
nese.
The scenes following the surrender were
disgraceful. Druken soldiers filled the
streets and refused to obey their officers.
Many OF them destroyed the guns upon
the positions they had defended and came
into the city without permission. The in
fantry loudly protested that the fortress
had been given away. They threw their
rifles and ammunition into the harbor and
proceeded to break into warehouses and
loot and drink vodka until in helpness
condition. 1t was evident that the sur
render was not necessary as there were
81 900 effective men in the fortress. The
supply of ammunition was short but 1t
was not exhausted. Food was scarce but
private stores were not requisitioned by
the military. There ls no difficulty in
getting good meats in the city even now
from the stores in private possession. A
portion Of the fortress was capable of de-
tense for months longer. 1t was the
oninion of the non.combatants at Port
Arthur that the surrender was unneces-
sary as the troops were willing and able TO
fight to the bitter end. General Stoessel
was much blamed for what was character
lied as a disgraceful surrender after
splendid defense.

RECEIVERS FOR
SOUTH-W WESTERN
Federal Judge GOff SIGNS Restraining
Order and Appoints Receivers.
CANNOT DELIVER TO GEO. L. CARTER
ANY Of the Property Owned BY the Clineh-
field Corporation, Including Cranes
Nest Coal Co. and s. W. Railway.

Baltimore, Jan. 14.-Judge Nathan
Goff in the United States circuit court, at
Clarksburg, W. Va, signed an order to-
day upon application of the Union Trust
Company Of this CITY restraining the
officers, directors and attorneys OF the
Clinch6eld Corporation from delivering to
George l.. Carter, vice-president of the
corporation. Of any property owned by it.
George Blackstone, president Of the Union
Trust Company and William F. Donovan,
were appointed receivers for the South &
Western Railway Company Of Virginia,
and the Cranes Nest Coal & Coke Com
pany, which comprise the properties OF
the Clinchfeld corporation.
The courts order is the result Of suit
brought by the Union Trust Company to
protect the interests of the stockholders Of
the corporation. A syndicate represented
by the Union Trust Company offered
S2,65O, 900 for the properties. Mr. Carter
also made an offer Of about $2,44S, ,SS3. .33
and claimed to have signed contract on
December 10 last with the directors for
the Clinchfeld corporation to buy the
property. When this became public,
proceedings were begun to prevent the
delivery Of the stock to Mr.. Carter.
The properties IN dispute include the
Cranes Nest Goa, Company, which owns
about 100, 600 acres of land in Wise and
Dickenson counties, Va, and the South
& Western railway.
The project Was gotten together by
George Blackstone, president of the Union
Trust Company, and a syndicate including
that company was behind it. The inanc-
ial depression overlook this syndicate, and
it was unable to raise the money required.
The Identification of the Union Trust Com
pany with It proved burden for q while
to that company, but recently it was able
10 hand the properties over to other in
teresls and protect its investment.
The order requires that cause be shown
on January 80 why Sthe preliminary IN
junction should not be made permanent.
