NEWS IN PARIS.
Newspapers Discusss the Surrender With
 Sadness.

Sadness.
 Paris, Jan. 2.-The news of the sur. render of Port Arthur created a pro- found impression here and was the universal theme of conversation in of. hcial and diplomatic quarters and with the public generally. The newspapers discuss the matter at much length and in tone of sadness.
 The Russian officials here learned the situation from Associated Press deSpatches from Tokio while the Jap- anese legation received a brief official summary of the progress of negotia- tions. The prevailing French view is summed up by Che Temps which says the historic defense of sevastopoI has now been surpassed. Port Arthur add ing a glorious page to military annals which will long remain unequaled. Continuing. The Temps points out that the surrender will exert a tremendous moral influence favorable to Japan revenged for the loss of Port Arthur after the Chino-Japanese war.
 French military critics regard the surrender of Port Arthur as render ing General Kuropatkin's position in- creasingly dangerous as the besieging army of S0,000 men Is now released and will reinforce the Japanese army in the north. It is expected that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron will proceed no further in the direction of the seat of war.
 The hope is expressed in official quarters that official surrender of the fortress will hasten peace; but the prevailing view Is that the fall will accentuate Russia's resistance.
 Some Paris journals assert that Japanese occupation of Port Arthur will constitute a menace to all Eu- rope. which the chancellories should prepare to meet.

FOUGHT TO THE END.
Desperate RussIans Exploded aII of
 Their MaRaNInea.

London. Jan. 3.-The Daily Mails correspondent with General Nogi says the capture of Wantai involved six hours of the fiercest fighting while the attacks on the forts to the southeast were carried on simultaneously. De- scribing the final scenes, the corre- spondent says:
 ''rhe slacked fire at points in north ern and eastern fts'ts seemed to show that the Russian ammunition was fail- ing. The position was now desperate. Great explosions around the forts pro- claimed that the Russians were explod- ing their magazines. Flames and smoke in the harbor were followed by explosions after explosion, which re- vealed the destruction of the Russian ships. The Russians also apparently blew Up two of their own forts. The battleship Sevastopol was blown up and the other warships were destroyed as thoroughly as possible. The battle- ships Retzivan and Polatava and the protected cruiser Pallada caught fire"

NOgt Reports on Message Received
 From St0essel.
 Tokio. Jan. 2.--General Nogi reports as follows:
 At o'clock in the afternoon of January 1, the enemy's bearer of a flag of truce came into the first line of our officers. The same reached me at o'clock at night. The letter Is as follows: Judging by the general conditions held by you, I find further resistsnce at Port Arthur useiess, ard for the purpose of preventing needless sacrifice of lives, I proposes to hold negotiations with reference to cap. itulation. Should you consent to the same you will please appoint commits sioners for discussing the order and conditions regarding equalization and also appoint a place for such commlR- sioners to meet the same appointed by me.

Admiration of Roberts.

London, Jan. 3.-General StoesseTs defense of Port Arthur has excited the admiration of Earl Roberts, command er-in-chief of the British forces. l 'It has been a magnificent defense ,'' said the veteran fighter enthusiastic- ally. What splendid fellow he is, to be sure. How all the world must admire him"
 Fild Marshal Viscount Wolseley and Major General Baden Powell also pay enthusiastic tributes to General Stoes- sel, General Baden Powell saying, Tt is an honorable surrender after a splen- did defense"
 The opinions of public men of all ranks have been canvassed; but few of those questioned would venture beyond similar praises of the bravery and tenacity on both sides in the great struggle. Major General Sir Alfred Turner. however, thinks that in face of such a great blow to her prestige, Russia. to reinstate herself, will turn her attention to the northwestern frontier of India.
 The London papers this morning dis cuss the fall of Port Arthur in all it's bearings on future events besides pub fishing every available item of news and make quite an exceptional display of portraits of the heroes of the siege together with maps and pictures of the scenes enacted.
 Lessons of the Siege.
 The sympathies of the British press naturally flow in the direction Of Great Britain's ally, but nothing could ex- ceed the generosity of the tributes paid to General StoesseTs defence. There Is considerable difference of opinion concerning the lessons to be learned from the siege, but the majority of the editorial writers take the view that the defence of Port Arthur was tactical error and that the fortress ex- ercised a fatal fascination for the Rus sian army and the Russian fleet and that had Russia abandoned Port Arthur

PORT ARTHUR EXHAUSTED.
Russian Commander Says Human En
 durance Was Passed,


 Cheefoo. Jan. 2.-(Midnight)-Co mander Kartow of the Russian torpedo boat destroyer Vlastnl. in an interview with the Associated Press correspond ent, said:
 Port Arthur falls of exhaustion exhaustion 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 yester- day they reached the limit of human endurance.
 "In the easements 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.

NEWS IS WITHHELD.
Emperor Had Invested StoesseI With
 Discretionary Power.


 St. Petersburg. Jan. 3.-(2 a. m.)- While there is no longer any doubt in omclal circles in St. Petersburg that the fate of Port Arthur has been deS cided and General stoessers long and gallant defense ended, news of the sur render has not yet been allowed to reach the public.
 Foreign telegrams regarding the matter have been withheld from the newspapers pending the issue of the official announcement here The Gov ernment Is following the dictates of It's own judgment in this course, but the public so far is entirely unprepared for news which must prove a serious blow when It comes. The newspapers so far merely intimate that the defense of the garrison Is proceeding as usual but every one has realized for some time that the end was approaching. and there is no question but that the ma Jority, if they were prepared by a pre- lininary announcement by the Govern ment, could forgive the loss of the fort

southern People Entertalned.

There was a great gathering of Southern people at the Southern States reception at Mount Vernon Place Meth odist Episcopal Church. South this evening.
 The audience chamber of the long edifice was tastefulIy and profusely adorned with Southern flora and ever greens.
 Nearly 1,500 people. representing ev. cry Southern State, were there. re- newed acquaintances. made number of friends and got to know each other more agreeably.
 The coat of arms of each State sur mounted a green and towering grotto in which were Southern women, songs and recitations sentimental of the Southland, all cleverly rendered, touch ed tender chords and woke enthusiastic responses.
 Alabamians were there in plenty from the Tennessee line to the Gulf. It was a memorably pleasant occasion.
 A happy Southern incident of recep- tions today was the greeting accorded the veteran Confederate General and Senator. William B. Bate. of Tennes- see. Senator Bate received a host of Confederate Veterans at his apartment at the Ebbitt House this afternoon, who congratulated him upon his reelection by the Tennessee Legislature.

at once she probably would have been able to crush the Japanase advance in Manchuria. On the other hand, 1t Is agreed that its enormous strength compelled the Japanese to waste their energies for many months and prevent ed them from employing their full forces against General Kuropatkin and that the immediate effect will be to revo1utionize European ideas of the value of the art of permanent fortifica- ton.
 The question whether it will be pos sible to raise and repair the Russian warships is also discused. It is be- lieved that the Japanese may succeed in doing so.
 Another point exciting keen inter- est is the status of Weihaiwei, which according to treaty, was only to be held so long as Russia remained in possession of Port Arthur. The idea is, however, that Great Britain will continue to hold Weihaiwei. Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridges holds this view and thinks there is nothing to prevent Great Britain from making a fresh convention with China.

SHAKE UP
 IN ALABAMA Removal of Hughes is But the Beginning. DEMANDS DECENT MEN
Gossip About Appointments Of
 a Judge in Tennessee.
President Would Like to Appoint Gen- eral Luke Wright if He CouId Be Spared from PHIL
 ippines.

Washington, Jan. 2.--(Specfal. )-- The removal of Postmaster Hughes at Birmingham is regarded by those here who have been closely watching the disposition of the administration assthe beginning of a shakeup in Alabama Federal patronage affairs which will ultimately close out the business of the firm of referees.
 Every Federal office in Alabama. as in other Southern States. Is to undergo careful scrutiny. The administration Is determined that men holding office shall not only be decent in fact but in fame. not only that. but shall not be permitted to transgress any depart ment regulation, no matter how good a fellow the incumbent may be.
 An incident of the exceptional con- cern of the administration in South ern affairs Is the attention just now devoted to the appointment of a judge for the Western District of Tennessee in the place of the late Eli s. Ham mond. The chances look best for John E. Mccall, now Internal Revenue Col lector for the Western and Middle Dis trict of Tennessee. As he has the ep- dorsement of the entire Republican ma chinery in the State. Republicans urge that the Democrats in Judges Lurton and Clarke already have two Tennes- seeans on the Federal bench.
 Still President Roosevelt wohld at once appoint Governor Luke E. Wright but for the difficulty of finding a fit head of the Philippines administration.
 Attorney General Moody has said in- cidental to this judgeship that it was desired, fin view of impending ques- tions concerning the trusts that the judiciary should be strengthened by men of the highest character and wide ly acknowledged legal attachments
