heap in the history Of the country.
While the Baltimore fire Of last February
was to be compared ia magnitude only
with the great Chicago fire in 1871, the
record of 1904 without that conhag

all recent years save 1900 and would
have nearly equaled that year.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. THERE'S only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
st;tutiOnal remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result. and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored TO It's
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that con-
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send
for circulars, free.

that when the general assembly con-
venes in joint session to canvass the
vote of the State officers, as required by
the constitution, two sets Of returns will
be presented from the Denver election
commission. The majority report will
show a plurality Of about 4, 900 for Alya

set forth extensive election frauds, and
will declare that Governor Peabody car
ried that county by plurality sufficient
to overcome Adams plurality of about
5000 in the remainder of the State,
The plan is to adopt the minority report

London, Jan. 2.-Barion Haya-
shi, the japanese Minister, an
nounces that General Nogi has reported
to the Toxic government that General
StoessePs proposal has been accepted
The terms and process of surrender will
be negotiated between the respective
delegates at noon today.
Toxic Jan. 2.-The final act of the
japanese, previous to the receipt OF
General Stoessel's offer of surrender, was
to capture Wan-Tai fort on Signal Hill.
The fort was stOrmed and occupied al
$3.50 yesterday afternoon. Seven guns
were captured.
Cheloo, Jan. 2.-Itis believed here thai
General Nogi had arranged for a general
assault on Port Arthur today, and that
Gen. Stoessels offer of surrender arrived
just in time to prevent the beginning OF
of the attack.
Washington, d. c., January 2.-The
Minister OF Foreign Affairs of Japan has
informed Mr.. Griscom, the American
Minister at Toxic, that General StOessel
surrendered Port Arthur at nine O'Clock
Sunday evening. This news came 10 a
dispatch to the State Department this
morning.

PORT ARTHUR has fallen at last.
This Is the second time it has capitu-
lated to japanese arms during the past
dozen or more years. 1t took but a
short time to wrest the Port from its
rightfu! Owners-the Chinese-~bnt the
Mikado's army and navy have been since
early last year in forcing the Russians
u surrender. Japan has accomplished
her purpose by a bulldog tenacity and a
total disregard for human life. She has
achieved a costly victory, after the sacri.
flee of thousands of lives and the expend-
iure of many millions of dollars. Rus
sian proves and valOr have been
impotent so far. at least, to check the
Willy and determined Mongolians, aud
sAe colossus of the north is now suf-
lering an honorable defeat. Taken all~in
all, it is the most serious chapter
81 history that the twentieth cen
fury has made. and the consequences
will probably be far-rsaching. 1t has
been but a short time ago when Japan
was not regarded any more seriously than
Korea or Siam, and her representatives
were looked upon rs curiosities when
;hey stopped at Alexandria on steamer
in 1860. 1t will be remembered that
during the war between the States in
this country an old-time wooden man-Of-
war sileuced several of her forts and
created terrible havoc in a short time in
consequence of an overt act upon the
part of the Mikado's government. But
q mes have changed. The little nation
has so far proved herself superior in
military and naval point of view to one
Of the irst powers of the earth. The
brave Russians who have held out so
rag against terrible odds are honored in
defeat. They have performed their
duty as heroically as any soldiers who
figure in history, and a London paper
today well says that Gen. StOessel will be
accorded as much honor among Anglo
Saxons today as General Nogi, who has
emerged victorious in the contest.

THE PETERSBURG lNDEX-APPEAL IN
referring to an editorial which appeared
in the Gazette last Tuesday concerning
the reckless use OF explosives in certain
portions of the city during the previous
Saturday, Sunday and Monday, says;
whes Q dog has a fit in the street and
foams at the mouth, hue and cry oil
hydrophobia is raised, and the whole
police force of city or town is rallied
for IFS destruction, but nothing is ever
done to suppress the dangerous and
deadly cannon 6re-cracker. We venture
to assert that a great many more deaths
and serious injuries have been inflicted
by these toy explosives than have ever
been inflicted by hydrophobia. The
legislature of Virginia several years ago
made it unlawful for any persons to eK-
plode cannoucrackers in this State. That
was a good law, and it should be en-
forced, and we commend the matter to
the attention of the mayors and the varl-
Gus police forces OF The Commonwealth.
Bows and thoughtless me1 should be
protected against this temptation and
the possible consequences of their own
folly.

For THE calendar year which ended
Saturday the Treasury showed deficit
of S72, 900, 600. The expenditures for
the year were 1000, 900, while the
receipts from all sources were only
$40, 600, 600. The cash 10 the Treasury
exclusive of the gold reserve and gold
and silver coin held against outstanding
certificates, is S24O, 900, 900, which is
$50. 900, 900 less than the amount Of
cash on hand on January of last year.
This looks likes another bond issue Ito

YESTERDAY was one of the most beau
tiful New Years Days ever remembered
in this section of the country. The sun
shone brightly all day; the mercury ran
up to 6O0; the airwas almost balmy, and
altogether the day was delightful, being
more like one in late September than in
January. MeteorOlOgically the new year
opened most auspiciously andi is hoped
that it may be an index of an suspicious
wear in all other respects.

The POLICE of Washington took the

promptly arrested several persons who
disregarded the orders of the Commits
sioners of the District of Columbia
against explosions in the streets during
The holiday season. The Baltimore

in which the obsequies of the dying year
aud the advent of the newwere conducted
an that city. Not IN many years was
there such a reckless use of firearms,
cannon crackers and other noise produc-
ing devices in many sections of the city
as there was at midnight Saturday in the
city of Alexandria. The din began early
and was kept up until after o'clock. In
some instances ear-splitting cannon crack

dOws OF residences, the inmates of which
were compelled to endure the torture I'M

were exhausted. This condition Of af-
