three months on reduced rations, were
SO worn that 1t is marvellous they
stood the final strain so long.
Yesterday General Stocssel would
still fight. His wound. which was re.
ceived 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.
erals. Our men cannot move. They
sleep standing. They cannot see the
bayonets at their breasts. We can
order. but they cannot obey
Then you generals fight said
Stoessel, cllnched his fists.

reason by the insistcnce of his subor-
dinates. Adnirals Lochinsky and
Wiren. Generals Smirnoff and Fock
and many others, sometimes with
broken voices, urged the step which
all dreaded SO long.
'The greatest loss suffered by Port
Arthur occurred fortnight ago, when
Major General Krondratenko was
k..ied. Omcers and men alike re-
garded him as the brightest star in
ioTs arthur: armament When his
death became known the fall in the
spirits or the soldiers was plainly Wis
iDle. General nondratenko was seated
in the casemate OF q certain fort dis
cusing with seven othor officers the
best way of countermining against
the Japanese. when an eleven-inch
shell burst, killing everybody in the
casemate.
General Nogi has taken Port Arthur
with his artillery and his tunnels. His
rine bullets were seldom found to be
of any use.
We who came here Monday do not
know the terms of surrender suggest
! ed by General Stoessel to General Nogi
nor the answer, having left Port AR.
thur even before the messenger had
been dispatched. The general impress
sion, however, is that Stoessel has
proposed that the army shall go fraa
| and that he alone be made prisoner
1T is simple story Had the am.
munition held out the fortress would
nave held out Indefinitely. For months
| we held Port Arthur by bayonets :
alone, until flesh and blood could do
no more. When man fell there was
none other to replace him. Thus the
garrison was gradually worn down.

ICrt Arthur, whose nils nave Tor
months run red with the blood of the
oravest of the two war-like pations,
has at last succumbed to the fierce
eenacity OF the Japanese attack Gen
eral Stoessei, most stubborn in carry
ing out the will OF his sovereign, has
seen the 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 inc surrender are not yet known,
but in all quarters 1t is anticipated
that they are such as an honorable SOL
der may accept from a brave and Vic
torious enemy.
At 9:45 o'clock Sunday night the
commissioners completed the sirgina Of
the capitulation agreement. Both
armies had suspended hostilities five
hours earlier. The city of Port Ar
thur will he occupied by the Japanese.
The authorities at st. Petersburg, in
the absence OF direct Official news
from General Stoessel that Port Ar
thur has surrendered. have not per-
united the news to become public EN-
peror Nicholas is in the south of Rus
sia, and his Mipisters are for the time
being in the dark as to what dis
patches have been sent to him from
the front.
Toxic was the scene OF rejoicing,
people OF all ranks finding in the out
come compensation for al. The sacri-
flee OF life and money that waS en-
tailed in the ten months siege.
To what extent the fall of Port Ar
thur will make for restoration of
peace is an open question. There Is an
encouraging note in the expression by
BaIon lIayashi. Japanese minister at
London, OF The hope that I'm some way
1t will facilitate lnal peace" though
the pacific note is perhaps lost in the
later words OF the minister, whicn call
attention to the fact that the besieging
army Will now be free to 60 north
where it Will he an offset to the rein
foTcements General Kuropatkn has
been receiving from Russia since the
battle OF Shakhe. The spirit of the
Russians may be judged by the state
mcnt OF the secretary OF the embassy
at London that the campaign will be
renewed with fresh vigor in the spring,
and that the nation will not be content
TO permit Port Arthur to remain in the
hands OF the .Japaese.
Both in Paris and in London the
opinion is that tho squadron under
Vice Admiral Rojcstyensky. which
started from Libau for the far East
three months ago. will have to retrace
Its way home, as adherence 70 the
original plans would invite disastei'
without probability of effectiag juno
fion with the warships at presxIt in

may not be permitted to retain pos

is shown in the fact that Paris aews-

made in 1901 that the holding oi that
position commanding the Eastern seas
by the Japanese would be a ri,nace

Mrs. Chas. Dietzel.

Mrs. Ida Louise Clark Dietzel,
wife of Chas. Dietzel of this city,
died of typhoid fever last Friday,
the 18th inst, at g.. 20 p. m.
> Mrs. Dletzel was a cousin of
Mrs. 0. B. Radebaugh and niece
of Mrs. M. Glasscock who are resi-
dents of Union City. She was born
at Tiptonville November %, 1878.
Her father was Mr.. Joe Clark, a
Tiptonville merchant and promi-
nent citizen of Lake County who
died many years ago. Mrs. Dietzel
was reared in Tiptonville. She
came to Union City with her aunt,
Mrs. Glasscock, whose home was
her home. On December 81, 1901,
she became the wife of Charles
Dietzel, son of Herman Dietzel, one
of the most extensively known and
highly respected citizens of Obion
County. The wedding was the
crowning event of happy court
ship. They were blessed with a
bright little daughter, who has
not yet reached the age to realize
her great loss. The bereavement
of the husband and child is indie
scribable and the death calamity
to the church, the society and entire
community of this city. Lofty and
pure in character, gentle and kind
in disposition, affectionate and
warm in nature, all these crowned
with the blessings of intelligence,
she was naturally popular and uni
versally admired. Mrs. Dietzel
suffered for several weeks of ty-
phoid and malarial fever. At one
time she was thought to be recov-
ering, but the death angel had not
left his vigil, and on Friday after
noon the gentle soul calmly and
took its fight.
Mrs. Dietzel was a member Of the
Methodist Church and a conscien-
tious Christian. The remains were
inferred at East View last Sunday
afternoon under bank of flowers
in the midst of large concourse of
people. Rev. Mccoy conducted fun
eral services at the residence at 3
o'clock.

Bob Taylor is the logical candi-
date for the United States Senate.
A desperate effort will, Of course,
be made to defeat him with all
sorts of spurious charges, but it
will be as powerless and futile
as the spectacle of a drowning
man grabbing at straws. Cover
nor Taylor never took a more
sensible step than his action in de-
clining a joint canvass with his
opponent for the Senate. This
sort of politics is coming into dis
repute. In the first place there is
no issue between them and no ex-
cuse for joint canvass. 1t is not
only considered undignifed, but
contrary to the code of political
ethics for Presidential candidates,
who have strong issues between
them, to appear in joint discus
sipns. Why not for Senatorial
candidates having no difference at
issue9 Joint debate for nomina-
ton is not the rule, and the
Governor IN his letter has pointed
out instances to this effect. The
campaign between Senator lsham

jackson is set up to cripple this
argument. There was very live
issue between those parties the
settlement Of the State debt and a
wide difference of opinion of the
way it should be done. Other
wise there would have been no
Joint canvass at that time. Cover

wisdom and craftsmanship in this
step.
