EVERYTHING OF VALUE DESTROYED
RUSSIANS COMPLETELY WRECK
THE PLACE BEFORE OFFER
ING TO SURRENDER.
WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED.


4 number of the Port Arthur forts
have been surrendered to the Japa-
nese.
Toxic dispatches say that the terms
of capitulation have been signed and
that the Russian officers will be per-
mitted to return to Russia on parole,
retaining their side arms The rank
and file are to go to Japan as prison
erS.
Further details Of the negotiations
and of conditions at Port Arthur have
: been brought to Chetoo. The fortress
and town are described as complete
wreck and the harbor entrance has
been blocked by the sunken ships, It
Was a mere handful OF men who sur
rendered and the Japanese have won a
desert strewn with debris.
General Stoessel's dispatches TO the
Russian general staif tell OF the raw
ages of scurYy among the garrison,
which increased enormously the lists
OF the disabled increasing casualty
lists and finally of the exhaustion or
the ammunition supply. He says that
10000 men under arms and there Were
14,0O0 in the hospitals.
AdviceS received by the French for
eign Office indicate tnat Russian opin-
ion is against peace and that media
tion as result of the fall OF Port AT
thur is unlikely.

VICTORY FOR J. ]. HILL
HARTMAN LOSES CONTEST FOR
CONTROL. OF THE NORTH
ERN PACIFIC ROAD.
NEW JERSEY IhlUkCTCa DlSS0Ls WE'D
STOCK HELD BY SECURITIES CON-
PANY TO BE DISTRIBUTED
fAS HILL DESIRES.
NEW JERSEY IhJUkCTCl DISSOLVED

Philadelphia, Jan. 4-The United
States court OF appeals for the Third
judicial district. in an opinion fled
here. reverses a decision Of the New
Jersey circuit court which restrained
the Northern Securities company from
distributing certain stock Of the North
ern Pacific
The decision is defeat for the in
terests represented by e. II. Harri-
man In a decree OF the New Jersey
court the Northern Securities com
pany was restrained from dfsposing of
370, ,23O shares of the common stock of
the Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany, alleged to have been received
from Z. II. Hartman and Winslow 5.
Pierce, and of 1890 shares of the
common stock of the Northern Pacific
Railway company received by the
Northern Securities company from
the Northern Pacific Railway company
The decision of the higher court, how
ever, gives the Northern Securities
company the right TO dispose of the
stock. Hartman and Pierce, when the
Northern Securities company had
UStI uSGldIGu ny the OultCu obdtCo
supreme court to be an illegal com
bination, demanded the return OF the
original stock they had contributed at
the time of the organization Of the
combination. The Northern Securities
company, it was claimed, intended to
make pro rata distribution OF the
stock of the contributing company.
The opinion was written by Judge
TlnIIac raViputinp nrCaDtzl-
tion of the combination and its subse
Quent history the decision says;
Synopsis of the Decision.
Hartman averred that the shares
of railway stock in question were ac-
quired by the Securities company;
that it would hold them as custodian,
that the owners of said shares were
the parties who originally exchanged
the same for stock in the Northern
Securities company.
The Northern Securities company
claimed that ii acquired the stock by
purchase and that it owns the stock
outright
After quoting the resolution under
which the stock was acquired the
opinion says The resolution contem-
plated a purchase and not trust and
that the resolution was adopted at
meeting at w&ch Hartman was pres
ent. The opinion continues:
The Northern Securities company
is the owner OF ,537, 594 shares of the
stock of the Northern Pacific Railway
company. which has been restrained
from voting or receiving dividends,
and in view of this restraint all pal-
ties agree that it should not continue.
The Northern Securities company ac-
cordingly proposes to assign them pro
rata to its shareholders, including not
less than 250,0 900 persons whose shares
are unquestionably acquired by pur-
chase and who are not parties to this
suit. and, as such disposition of them
would effect a ratable, and therefore
equitable, division of them among all
who are entitled TO participate in
distribution of the corporate assets.
we are of the opinion that the injunc-
tion which prohibited it should no
longer remain in force"
Judge George Gray of Delaware filed
4 dissenting decision.

New York, Jan. 4.-James J, Hill,

TOWN COMPLETELY RUINED
RUSSIANS DESTROYED EVERY
THING OF VALUE BEFORE
SURRENDERiNG.

Chefoo, Jan. 4.-Midshipman Eliso,
rich, commanding a launch which left
Port Arthur al s o'clock Monday
night, said during the day:
NO shot has been fired at Port Ar.
thur for two days That which Chi.
nese heard Monday night was the Rus
slams blowing up forts, ships, ma ga
zines, warehouses, dochs ana cie-y-
thing valuable. When | left Pot AZ
thur the fortress and the to.,n was
almost completely wrecked Inc war
ships died hard. Several explosions
Were necessary TO complete the Wa y
ing OF them. The Seyastopol, after
catching fire. exploded anu tn. ned tui-
tie. The harbor entrance is bIochei
with sunken ships. The only naVl.
gable craft now al Port Arthur are the
hospital ships Kassan and Mongolia.
You need expect no more ships
from Port Arthur as these are unable
to leave on account of the blocking
OF the harbor.
THE statement that there remained
5000 fighting men at Port Arthur is
misleading, because majority OF
these are sick or slightly wounded,
There has been for some time no
proper bandages and wounds have
been dressed with hemp. Ihc news
that General Stoessel was prepared TO
treat for surrender was received by
the soldiers with the feeling of utmost
relief For the past month severe
wounds have been gladly received by
the soldiers because they were al
lowed to rest When the men were
not fighting they We're tunneling on
half rations.
THE bombardment of the last day
or SO was terrific. Everybody remarked
that even General Stoessel must see
the futility of further resistance when
our guns are unable to reply
We might have surrendered a
month ago with the highest honor.
That resistance has continued effec-
lively since is scarcely less than a
miracle.
1T is a mere handful of broken men
who surrender and debris strewn
desert which the Japanese gain. Not
one of Port Arthurs magnificent pub
lie works remain"

RUSSIAN PUBLIC STUNNED
COVE ERNMENT ALLOWS NEWS Or
PORT ARTHUR'S FALL TO
BE PUBLISHED.

St Petersburg, Jan 4-The public
seems stunned by the announcement
of the fall of Port Arthur, which the
government authorized i'm the shape
of the publication of foreign kilograms.
Little had been done to prepare The
people and the impression produced,
despite the heroic nature of the de
fense, almost stupefaction. What will
be the immediate effect of the an
nouncement on the internal situation
remains to be seen, although it is fully
expected to be followed by big demon
strations on the part of elements when
spare nothing to embarrass the gov
ernment. 1t is affirmed, although posi-
lively denied at the admiralty, that t
has been decided that the government
cannot now take any chances with
Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron and
that it will be recalled to await The
making ready of third squadron III
order TO insure superiority over Ad-
miral Togo. In view OF the situate on
Emperor Nicholas, who was reported
to be at Minsk, is now on his way TO
ST. Petersburg, where he probably Will
have an immediate consultation with
his advisers But at both the war
Office and the admiralty all talk OF The
possibility of peace at such time
meets with nothing but expressions OF
indignation. In spite OF this, dipln-
matically the situation is extremely
interesting and. in diplomatic circles
it is regarded as certain that Japan
has awaited this moment TO submit
proposals for peace and that she in
tends TO do so through the United
States. Intervention, or even the offer
of good offices by the United States,
without the request of Russia, is not
admitted to be possible.

ROOSEVELT WILL NOT ACT.
No Steps at Washington Looking to
Mediation.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Whateyer ef-
feet the fall of Port Arthur may have
on the ultimate Issue of the war the
attitude of this government toward the
belligerents has not undergone the
slightest change. More than once the
American government has let st. Pc
tersburg and Toxic know that ii stands
ready at any time TO render neighbor-
ly assistance whenever both belllg-
erents are prepared to welcome it,.
Further than this the governn- Mt has
not gone.
Reports that President Roosevelt is
likely TO initiate negotiations of friend
ly mediation between Russia and
Japan are premature, at least, and en-
tirely unauthorized. 1t is stated most
positively that no negotiations lock-
ing to mediation on the part of this
government are pending and IL is
not known that such negotiations Viii

READY 70 DISCUSS PEACE.
Japan Wi',1na to Make Terms Said to
Be Reasonable.

Be EeaSonGDfS.
Toxic, Jan. 4.-Some OF the foreign
diplomats here believe that there VIII
be an early renewal of efforts looking
to the securing of peace. Outwardly
the Japanese government gives no IN
dications of its desires in that direc-
tion but it is known that it is pre-.
pared to- discuss the question and to
make terms which are characterized
as reasonable.
Those who predict movement for
peace declare that the Japanese EN-
perors commendation OF General
Stoessel and the determination of the
Japanese TO give honorable terms TO
the surrendered garrison will soften
the blow TO Russia and create an open
ing for the discussion of peace.
The United States, Great Britain
and France are named as possible di-
rect or indirect Intermediates, though
ii is not improbable that Japan will
broach the subject directly.
The fall of Port Arthur immensely
strengthens the hand of Japan. In the
actual conduct of the war Port Arthur
has been a stumbling block to Japan
which for six months has had engaged
there over 100000 troops and prac-
tically her entire navy. This fact com
