Andrew Carnegie. Esq,
2 East Ninety first ST.,
New York, N. Y.
Ny Dear Mr.. Carnegie:
You have endowed universities,
builded libraries, aided churches,
erected hospitals, all of which rebound
to your honor; but not one donation
that you have made is more appreciated
or will prove more helpful to ambi-

the thousands of skilled workmen who
were trained in it, and especially in
the name of the State of Maryland, /
thank you for your generosity, and
assure you that our state and the City

gift is made effective in the highest

opportunity for everyone in America.
Very truly yours,

A NECKLACE AT AUCTION.
soeeiaI dispatch to Evening Capital.

New York. Jan 4.-The pearl neck
lace. with diamond pendent, that was
taken from Mrs. Phyllis f. Dodge sew
real wears ago by Theobold, former
Treasury agent, was placed on view
for inspection today preparatory TO be-
ing sold at public auction. The sale
il set for tomorrow and will take palee
in the United States Marshal's Office.
The sale is probably the most notable
of its kind that has ever taken place
in this city and will eliminate case
that has attracted national attention.
When Mrs. Dodge disembarked from
the steamship st. Paul in June, 1899,
she said that most of the jewelry she
had With her was bought IN this coun-
try. Two boxes, however, marked
with the names of Partisan jewelers.,
we're found and the jewelry was con-
fscated. A year later the case was
brought up in the United States Dis
trict Court. and on the payment of a
part of the required duty Mrs. Dodge
reoained all the seized jewelry except
the famous necklace. Later the case
was brought up before the United
States Supreme Court, and a decision
against Mrs. Dodge was made She
then brought the case before President
Roosevelt, but he refused TO interfere.

PORT ARTAUR HAS FALLEN.
RUSSIAN STRONGHOLD AT
LAST SURRENDERS.
The japanese Army Has Taken
Foil Possession = The
Provisions.

Port Arthur, whose hills have for
months run red with the blood of the
bravest of two warlike nations, has at
last succumbed to the fierce tenacity
of the japanese attack. General
Stoessel, most stubborn in carrying
out the will of his sovereign, has seen
tine advance of the besieging army
gain in momentum and energy until
TO hold out longer would have been a
crime against humanity.
The conditions of the surrender, it
is certain, are such as an honorable
soldier may accept from q brave and
victorious enemy. At 9.45 O'Clock
last night the commissioners COM
pleted the signing of the capitulation
agreement. Both armies had suspended
hostilities five hours earlier. The
city of Port Arthur will be occupied
by the japanese today. The agree
ment provides II the honorable sur
render of all officers and men of the
Russian army and navy at Port Ar
thur, and all government properties,
including the Notifications and muni-
tions, which must be handed over to
the japanese in their present condi-
ticn.
The Russian officers will be allowed
to retain their side arms and personal
property. They will be permitted to
return TO Russia ON their parole not
TO re-enter the service of the Russian
Government while the war lasts.
The Russian troops are to remain
prisoners of war and their medical
officers will be retained in service for
these prisoners. A supplementary
agreement will be draughted to settle
further details of the capitulation.
An official despatch received at the
Japanese legation last night from
rokio gives the details of the capitu-
lation agreement between Generals
Nogi and Stoelssel at Port Arthur.
The authorities at st. Petersburg,
in the absence If direct official news
from General Stossel that Port Ar
thur surrendered, have not permitted
the news to become public. Emperor
Nicholas is in the South of Russia
and his Ministers are for the time
being in the dark as to what dis
patches have been sent to him from
the front. Tokyo was the scene of re.
joicing, people of all ranks finding in
the outcome compensation for all the
sacrifice of life and money that was
entailed in the ten months siege.
70 what extent the fall of Port Arthur
Will make for a restoration of peace
is an open question.

NEW FILL" BEING MADE.
OLD LINE ROAD CONTEM-
PLATES CHANGES.
Will Reconstruct The Road at The
Water Tank Crossing Near
The 4sY.r

A great many changes are in con-
temptation ON the Annapolis. Washing
on 81 Baltimore Railroad. Ia spite
OF the inclement weather and the many
conditions working against successful
operations. fhe changes will be pushed
TO completion and will be perfected
long before winter has passed.
Principal among these is the erection
of a new trestle and ffill'' at the water
tank just outside of Annapolis, where
the branch connection is made with
the Bay Ridge road. Some time since
a large portion of this "fill, I" which
is on the main line, was washed away.
1t was feared for time that it would
completely block the passage of trains
for some time and that several days
would have TO elapse before the trains
could be again operated. This condi-
tion was obviated, however, by some
very clever work on the part of the
crew in charge of the maintenance of
way.
Temporary repairs were made and
traffic continued withoutiinterrnption.
1t was found, however, that .sooner or
later il would be necessary TO entirely
remake the "fill". Rather than wait
until the need was more pressing, il
was decided to begin work at once.
For more than two weeks work has
been under way in completing the pre-
liminaries. AS the entire 'fill' will
have to be moved and the tracks re-
moved for the question of get
ting around the break presented quite
a problem, owing to the condition of
the ground at that point. All of the
"Ys'' at that point are built on fills
and do not permit of many feats of
engineering.
1t was finally decided. however, to
cut in a new "Y" which would bis
sect an old track which had not been
used flor many years. BY means Ct
this and another short stretch of track
it will be possible to pass around the
opened "fill' without danger or great
loss of time. In few days this will
be completed. and work on tho "fill"
proper will be started. The roadbed,
which has struck its own level by rea-
son of the passage of fast trains, will
soon be in such condition that heavy
ballast oan be used. A large number
of new ties have been purchased by
the company and these are being placed
in position.

Alva Adams is to be Governor of Col
orado during the ensuing two years,
the Fifteenth General Assembly met

troops to preserve order. Governor
Peabody's message to the Legislature
contained many recommendations Of a
radical nature. Among other things
he recommended the abolishment of
the Board of Arbitration and the mill
tarv p,ll tax, new election laws, work

vice rules in all state departments, the

To the average resident of Annapolis

carrying before them flurries of snow
and stinging sleet, were very much
like a Dakota blizzard. In spite of
that fact, however, the tenn
perature was somewhat above 20 de-
grees, the coldest this winter having
been IL degrees. About two inches
of snow fell, but was unable to spread
itself with any degree of beauty.
