.SPOILS RUSSIAN CHRISTMAS
FALL OF PORT ARTHUR TAKES
ALL THE HEART OUT OF
FESTIVITIES.


st. Petersburg, Jan. 5.-The fall Of
Port Arthur has taken all the heart
out of the approaching festivities of
the Russian Christmas. 1t is even pro-
posed to dispense with the illumina-
tions which are always features of the
holidays. The churches are filled with
mourning friends and relatives of the
fallen heroes of the fortress.
The zemstvos and town councils of
many cities, including st. Petersburg,
have adjourned as testimony of treir
grief as result of the public calam.
ity and subscriptions have already
been started to erect monument to
General Kondratenko, who was killed
at Port Arthur Dec. Is.
But the unmistakeable grief of the
people is also accompanied by unde-
niable mutterings against the gov
eminent. The papers are openly blam-
ing the military censorship for keep
Ing the public in the dark as to the
true situation of the fortress and al

LIFE OF THEODORE THOMAS.
Brief Sketch of World Famous Or
cI1estra Leader

hfieT Sketcn OF WoflQ Famous Or
chestra Leader.
Theodore Thomas, who was the son
of an expert violinist, was born at
Eseus, Hanover, Germany, Oct. IL,
1895. In 1916 his parents brought him
to the United States settling in New
York city.
The real beginning Of Mr.. Thomas
musical career was through a series
OF chamber concerts at New York
during the years intervening between
1855 and 1872. In 1864 Mr.. Thomas
first symphony concerts were given at
New York and these were continued
until he left. that city in 1878 to take
charge of the College of Music at Gin
cinnati.
Returning to New York he was
elected conductor of the New York
Philharmonic society in 1879 and this
position he held until he left New
York in 1891. In 1883 Mr.. Thomas
and his orchestra made tour from
New York to San Francisco, appearing
at all of the principal cities en- route.
On his return to New York Mr..
Thomas conceived the idea of a per-
manent orchestra in that city, but
after seven years of endeavor he came
to the conclusion that Chicago would
be a better place for his future work.
He removed there in 1891 and formed
the Chicago Orchestra association. On
Dec. Is, last year, Orchestral hall, the
permanent home of the Chicago or
chestra, built at a cost of more than
100000, was formally dedicated. 1T
is monument that bears witness to
the llntiring efforts of the dead mu-
sician.

HARD BLOW TO RUSSIA.
st. Petersburg Press Praises Heroic
Work Of Defenders.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 5.-The press
here contains absolutely no additional
news of the war, but the papers with
one accord praise the heroic work of
the Port Arthur garrison and say it's
record furnishes an object lesson to
both Russia and Japan.
After bestowing tribute on the de-
tenders the Novoe Vremya says:
'sThe unpreparedness of the fortress,
which now stands confessed before
the world, reads as a lesson on what
Russia must do and how she must
change her methods to achieve VIC
tory. 1t also shows Japan what she
has undertaken when such enormous
losses are entailed in capturing such
small, empty handed garrison, driven
to the last ditch. Russia has had
eleven months of hard but valuable
experience in the art of war under the
new conditions imposed by modern
technical requirements. It has been
costly training, but it will be valua-
ble"
One of the most serious features of
Port Arthur's fall, according to the
Novosti, is the effect upon >-the al
ready questionable neutrality of the
Chinese. Loss of prestige in the eyes
of the Orientals, says the paper, is
much more serious than the strateg-
ical value of the fortress.

ssoME INTERESTING STATISTICS.
Siege Of Port Arthur Abounued in
Surprises.

n s. i : L b
Chefoo, Jan. 5.-Some interesting
statistics concerning the defense Of
Port Arthur were brought here by the
hotilla of Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyers, which carried numerous
chests containing complete records Of
General StoesseIs army.
Originally the army numbered 35,-
900; 1000 have been killed; 10000
are wounded or sick, 5000 remained
In the forts, of whom however, 1000
were unable to fight. It was ascertain
ed that when General Stoessel wrote
to General Nogi regarding the sur
render of the fortress he said:
81 have 5000 men in the forts, and
5000 of these are able to fight. II
you do not accept my proposals these
men will die fighting, but it will cost
you three times their numbers to kill
them
During the siege 265 per cent of the
garrison were put out of action. This
remarkable fact was due to the fact
that wounded men after leaving the
hospitals would return to duty. The
number of officers killed was proper
tionately greater than in any battle
known in history. This was due to
the frequent lethargic condition of the
men, who without food and without
sleep moved only when ordered by
their officers. The Russians estimate
that the taking of the fortress has
cost Japan $100.000,000.

SUFFERED FEARFUL LOSSES
TEXT OF GENERAL sToEssEL's
/ LAST DISPATCH TO EN-
[ PERoR NICHOLAS.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 5.-General
Stoessel's last dispatch, dated Jan. 1,
prior to the surrender of Port Arthur,
details the Japanese attack of Dec. 81
and concludes as follows:
5 I'VE shall be obliged to capitulate,
but everything in is the hands of God.
We have suffered fearful losses.
Great sovereign, pardon u.s. We
have done everything humanity posi-
BILE. Judge us, but be merciful Nearly
eleven months of uninterrupted strug-
giles have exhausted us. Only one
quarter of the garrison is alive and of
this number the majority are sick
and, being obliged to act on the de-
fensive without even short intervals of
repose, we are worn to shadows. y

the trouble was only a slight touch of
the grip. Saturday his condition was
grave. Sunday he improved and Mon
day the physicians felt hopeful of a
recovery. Tuesday evening while Mr..
Thomas was sanguine as usual there
suddenly occurred change for the
worse. Without note of warning a
severe chill seized the patient. Al
though there was slight rally he was
never again conscious. Through the
night his breathing gradually grew
fainter and death was so peaceful the
watchers did not know the exact mo-
ment. According to those present his
spirit passed like music shading off
into final silence.

TWENTY THOUSAND RESIDENTS
OF FALLEN TOWN ARE ON
THE SICK LIST.

Headquarters of the Japanese Third
Army at Port Arthur Jan. 8, via Che.
foo, Jan. 5.-The flag of the Rising
Sun floats tonight over the captured
citadel of Port Arthur.
When the news of the surrender OF
the fortress reached the soldiers yes.
terday, leaping from mouth to mouth
the Japanese drew close to their late
enemies and fraternized freely with
them.
When nightfall came great bonfres
rose in the Japanese camp like blaz.
ing halo, while great choruses OF
"banzai'' echoed through the hills.
The entire garrison and all the non
combatants will march out Of the city
Jan. 5 to the village of Yahuthwei,
near the shores of Pigeon bay.
The prisoners of war will be de-
tanned at the Russian barracks in the
village until they can be transferred
to Dalny.
Thus has Japan won the great Rus
sian stronghold in the Far East after
five months siege, in which she lost
over $4,000 soldiers, who were put out
of action lin the most sanguinary and
desperate fighting the world has ever
seen.
The surrender of the fortress at the
present time came as a surprise even
to the Japanese, as the desperate de-
termination and courage of the Rus
SLAMS, even in the last assaults, indi-
Gated that the struggle would be one
to the bitter end.
