These strips were sharpened at both

the state, and I believe should the mat

lature, it would make the necessary APP
preparation for its purchase. It could
doubtless be acquired for a song

YOUNG MAN MURDERED.
Body Found Half Submerged in n New
 crk Ditch.

Newark, N. J., Jan. 1.-With a deep gash on the right side of his head, evil 5dentIy inflicted with a blunt weapon, the body of Leonard M. Vaudeville, a young man living in Woodside, a fash ionable section in this city, and employ ed as g clerk in the main office of the Western Union Telegraph company ill New York was found to-day half sub merged in a ditch of muddy water near the Jackson street crossing of the Cen tral railroad of New Jersey.
 Seven men and a woman, all Poland- CTS, who are suspected of having some knowledge of how young Vaudeville came to his death, have been arrested and are detained at police headquarters pending an investigation. The police found that Vaudeville left home last night to visit friend in Kearney, but finding his friend away, left there, and his movements since leaving eKarney have not been traced.
 County Physician William H. McKen- zie, who examined the body, declared that the wound was not an accidental one, but had been inflicted by some blunt instrument, and that the man was probably murdered The police cannot account for Vaudeville being found in the neighborhood, which is largely pop ulated by Polanders and Italians.

JAPAN FOR PEACE.
Minister at washington Says for Prose- cution of War Rests With Russia.

Washington, Jan. 2.--Kogoro Taka- hira, the Japanese minister, was asked tonight whether in his opinion the fall of Port Arthur would hasten the end of the war with Russia. Without di- rectly responding to the inquiry he re ferred to the fact that while the fall of Port Arthur was impending and its capture by the Japanese inevitable, the Russians had dispatched the second Pa cific squadron to the Far East, and no- tice had been given of the intention to send a third army to Manchuria, The further prosecution of the war now, he said, rested with the Russians. If they should continue it, Japan would be pre-. pared to meet them on sea and land.
 will Japan now welcome any offers for peace that might be made by Rus. sia ?"he was asked
 Japan always has been for peaceP the minister replied. Japan always will be for peace, if justice can be ob- tained for all concerned. Japan start ed in this war fighting for principle, and she will continue to fight for a recognition of that principle, and the just attainment of her rights
 Concerning the fortress at Port Ar thur, the minister expressed the opinion that it would be so cared for by the Japanese as to be prepared for any emergency.

RECALL OF BALTIo FLEET.
British and French opinion That It Is
 Now a Necessity.

@
 Paris, Jan. 2.-The news of the sur render of Port Arthur created a pro- found impression here and was the uni versal theme of conversation in official and diplomatic quarters and with the public generally.
 French military critics regard the sur- render of Port Arthur as rendering General Kuropatkin,s position increas- ingly dangerous, as the besieging army |of S0,0OO men is now released and will reinforce the Japanese army in the north. It is expected that Vice-Admir- al Rojestvensky's squadron will pro- ceed no further in the direction of the seat of war.
 The hope is expressed in some official quarters that the surrender of the fort ress will hasten peace, but the prevail ing view is that the fall will accentuate Russia's resistance.
 Some Paris journals assert that Jap- Eanese occupation of Port Arthur will constitute a menace to all Europe, which the chancelleries should prepare to meet.
 London, Jan. 2.-In British naval cir 5cles the prevailing opinion is that the recall of the Russian second Pacific squadron has now become an absolute necessity.

 Tokio, Jan. 22 p. m.- General Stoesr seTs letter to General Nogi says that further resistance is useless. The em. peror has telegraphed General Nogi commenting General Stoessel, and di- rscting that full military honors be shown him.
 The chiefs of staff met at noon to discuss terms of surrender General Ijichi, representing General Nogi, has plenary power.
 Marshal Yanagata, chief of general staff, under orders from the emperor, has dispatched the following cablegram to General Nogi:
 When l respectfully informed his ma jesty of General Stoessel's proposal for equalization, his majesty was pleased to state that General Stoessel had render ed commenGable service to his country in the midst of difficulties, and 1t is his 1najesty,s wish that military honors be shown to him.

EXHAUSTION THE CAUSE.
stoesseps Garrison Too Weak to Obey Orders.

449 @ Chefoo, Jan. 2.--Midnight: Com mander Kartzow of the Russian torpe- do boat destroyer Ylastni, which arriv- ed from Port Arthur Sunday, in an in telyiew with the Associated Press cor respondent tonight, said:
 Port Arthur falls of exhaustion ex- haustion not only of ammunition, but of men.
 The remnant of the garrison left had been doing the work of heroes for five days and five nights. but yesterday they reached the limit of human en- 5durance.
 Tn the casemates of the forts one saw everywhere faces black with star vation, exhaustion and nerve strain. You spoke to them, but they did not give answer only staring dumbly.
 The lack of ammunition alone would not have suggested the seeking of terms. Scant ammunition had long been common in the fortress and dur ing the past month many of the forts had nothing with which to return the fire of the enemy.
 The Russians sat in the casenates firing not more than once to the 200 shots sent by the Japanese. When the assault came they repulsed the enemy with bayonets. But the men had exist ed for three months on short rations, and it is marvellous they stood the strain so long.
 Yesterday General Stoessel would still fight. His wounds which were re- iceived early in the siege, had been bothering him. but his determination to fight while one man stood had not been diminished.
 But we cannot fight, said his gen.

ADDICKs FIYEG SHORT,
Warning Delaware Republicans Hold Conference-DeadIock Threatened.

'a I
 Dover, Del, Jan. 2.--C Conference com mittees were appointed tonight by the warning republican factions caucusing on the eve of the Delaware legislature biennial session. An offer of two thirds of the sixteen legislative offices was again given the nine regular republI- cans by the twelve union, or ASdicks, republican members of the legisla ature the latter desiring to choose as ,heir two first nominations the president of the senate and the speaker of the house. The regulars conference com mittee simply received the renewed proposition, the same offered and re- jected at last weeks extraordinary ses- sion, and returned to their caucus. The committee representing the Addicks re- isss and both sides then waited for counter- propositions, but none lnaterialized up to midnight.
 The unions can muster seven votes in the set two short of an election mapor- ity, and fifteen in the house, three short of the number necessary to a choice. The deadlock which must follow, un- less a radical change in the situation follows before morning, will show the same test of strength and the same five votes short of the election next week of J. Edward Addicks, the union republic can candidate for United States sena- tor.

ToLsToI TO THE CAR.
Letter written Three Years Ago sug-
 gesting Reforms.

London, Jan. 1.-The Times to-mor- row will publish letter written by Count Leo Tolstoi to Emperor Nicholas some three years ago. when Tolstoi be- lieved himsels to be dying. The letter, which deals with the internal condi- tions of Russia, commences, Dear brother" and refers to the universal dissatisfaction at that time manifest ed towards the government It sug- gests a number of reforms. some of which have been recently granted while others are expected as the out come of the more liberal policy of Rus sia. Count Tolstoi blames the emper- ors advisors. whose strenuous and cruel activity is arresting the eternal progress of mankind" He says the demning the autocratic government, Whicn may answer the demands of a people somewhere in central Africa, but not the demands Of the Russian people, who are becoming more enlight- ened by the enlightenment common to the whole world {
 Count Tolstoi sets forth the desires of the Russian people as:
 First-The working people desire to be delivered from special laws, which place them in the position of pariah, dsprived of all the rights of other cit izens.
 .--.
 Second They desire freedom of re- moval from place to place, freedom of education, freedom of conscience, and, above all, freedom isl the use of land. z
 Tn conclusion Count Tolstoi urges the emperor to consider his duty to God, whose will is that good and not evil should be done unto men.
