PORT ARTHUR CONDITIONS.
The Notifications and Shops in Better
 Shape Than Expected.

Tokio, Jan. 15.-A naval officer who has returned from Port Arthur, discus sins conditions there, today said: "The condition of the Russian war vessels and the town was much better than was hoped for Evidently there was much fortifying of the place after the siege commenced. Two hundred and three Meter hill had no permanent works. The trenches were similar to those used by the Boers in their late war with Great Britain.
 ''It seems that the Russians had no general electric scheme, movable en- zines or dynamOs or powerful fort searchIights. Russian naval officers yet say little and it is impossible to as certain whether our fire or the open ing of sea cocks by the Russians them selves sank their ships in the harbor T3e hospitals were scattered and fair ly we'll kept. They are still being used for wounded prisoners"
 It is understood that up to the cap .itulation of the fortress the garrison received only a special allowance of money and before the surrender Gen eral SUOessel had paid them off. This. together with the constant purchase of supplies by the Russians from the tulkmen, may explain the Unreported finding of q treasure.
 The treatment of Japanese prisoners at PoIt Arthur did not compare with that iven the Russian prisoners here. At Port Arthur the Japanese prisoners were giN en poor food and were not gwen fuel and only twice were they peI9nittAd outside of their prison. It k repoI ted that hundreds of Japanese fishermen have been sent to Port Ar thur to assist in clearing out the mines.

Thus far the opponents of the meas ure have held out stubbornly against naming a day for vote and while they do not say in explicit terms it is their intention to flibuster against the pas sage of the bill, it is evident that un- less a compromise can be reached for the elimination of Arizona from the

the democrats can arrange a perma- nent quorum of their own by the seating of Bernard, which they would lose no time in doing.
 It is understood that the republicans have determined to hold things in check by their absence until they can secure some reasonable concessions from their opponents. They do not want everything, nor a half of every thing, but there are some things which they will no doubt strenuously insist upon.
 It was given out this morning that the house apportionment committee had conciuded it's work and that the names of the clerks and other attaches of that body had been written on a slip of paper, but that it would not be made public until after the organiza- tiOa.
