in NIGHT
AND DAY
Port Arthur a Hill of Shot
and Shell During
Past Week.

Chefoo, Jan. 3.-The Russian off.
GERS who arrived here during the day
from Port Arthur on the torpedo boat
destroyers which escaped from that
place have a single word for what the
fortress has been for the past five
days, during which the Japanese have
bombarded and assaulted incessantly
night and day. They use that word
unprofanely and convincingly, declar-
ing that the horrors witnessed were
beyond any description. There was
not a single spot in the town which
was safe from shrapnel. Many of the
hospitals were hit and the wounded
refused to stay in them. Some lay in
the streets on heaps Of debris, exposed
to the bitterly cold weather, and some
staggered back to the front, hurting
stones and defying the Japanese till
taken prisoners OF death came merci-
fully to end their sufferings. There
were five days and nights of this state
of affairs. The stock of ammunition,
which had been carefully husbanded
for months, was almost gone and it
was all too evident that Japan was
about to grasp the prize which had
cost her an army of men and countless
treasure. The capture of 203-Meter
hill by the Japanese was the garrison's S
first vital wound. Then came the cap
ture Of Rihlung, Sungshu and Panlung
mountains. General Stoessel had an
nounced that he would fight to the
last.

INSURANCE CASE.

Boston, Mass, Dec. 15.--A decision
establishing the validity of the so.
called incontestable clause, in life in
surance policies was handed down
yesterday in the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals.
The case came before this court on
an appeal by the Mutual Reserve
Fund Life Insurance Association from
the Judgment of the circuit court in
favor of Sylvia Austin, executrix of
the will OF Jonathan w. Austin, to the
amount of $1G,990 on three life in
surance policies. The company claim
ed that the agreement as to the in
contestability was purely conditional
upon the insurance having been in
force and that insurance was not in
force because at the time of the de-
livery of the policy the insured was
not in good health, The court finds
that the argument as to the absence
of continuous force is predicted upon
the fact not appearing in the policy.
The court declared that If the defend
ants argument is adopted the policy
instead of being incontestable is con.
testable always,

CASTRO RETRACTS.
President of Venezuela Follows Out
His Declaration of Policy of Uni
versal Friendship.

New York, Dec. ia cable dis
patch to the Herald from Caracas,
Venezuela says: president Castro
withdrew Wednesday not only the OBJ
jectional phrase but his counter pro-
test, thus avoiding the necessity Of
an answering reply of France to Vene-
zuelan memorandum which would
have made settlement impossible.
This act is in confirmation of the
announcement of the policy of Pres-
dent Castro in the line of resumption
of universal friendship.
The trouble between President Cas-
tro and the French government arose
indirectly out of dispute with the
French Cable Company.
The company's concession was an
nulled by the Venezuelan courts and
further suit was brought for alleged
completely in the Matos revolution.
The company through it's resident
director M. Brun protested. He was
expelled and President Castro order
ed the company's land lines closed.
Then the French charge d'affaires,
protested in terms derogatory to the
Venezuela courts and the charge was
declared persona-non-grata.

HORSE NOT DISAPPEARING.
Neither Automobiles Nor Locomotives
Affect His Usefulness.

In the early days of the locomotive it was
predicted that the fate of the horse was
sealed. Later the appearance of the bicy-
Gle renewed that prediction. Still later 1t
was the automobile that was to displace
the horse entirely. Experience has demon
strated that the predictions miscarried IN
each case At least such is the case In
England, where, according to United States
Consul Mahin at Nottingham, horses are
now dearer than before the coming of the
automobile, especially carriage horses, che
kind that one would expect to be most at
fected.
THE fact seems to be- says the consul.
that automobiles have created a new
school of travel. Many people Who use
them did not keep horses and people using
them who did keep horses-wealthy country
families for Unsuccessful retain their
horses for emergencies. In point of fact,
it is believed that the automobiles will af-
feet only the railways in their receipts from
passenger fares.
The use of motor omnibus .s vans, etc,
which has begun in this country, ard is
likely to become general will displace many
horses; but well-informed persons express
the belief that the displaced horses will be
in other lines of business. 1t would seem
that the natural increase would sup
ply the latter demand, but this Is
denied. 1t is stated that neatly all the
horses needed could once be bought in this
country, but that English farmers have
generally ceased breeding them and even
the Importation has declined. A large buy
er of horses says on this point: Lately we
have had to go to America, and it has now
become no easy thing to buy horses there.
The Americans are today paying almost as
much for their horses as we used to lay fer
them when shipped across oare. American
dealers, of course, are not going to pay the
cost of shipment when they can ge: good
prices at home.'

DIVORCE IN ENGLAND.
Report of Consul General Evans Shows
RAND Increase

Interesting statistics concerning divorce
proceedings in England and Wales are con-
tanned in an official report from United
States Consul General Evans at London.
The number of petitions for dissolution of
marriage filed in 1902 was 1850, as against
900 filed in 1901. Of the petitions filed in
1902, 600 were filed by husbands and AL
by wives. The prompt action of the courts
is shown by the fact that of the total num-
Der of petitions filed $50 were set for trial
during the year. Judgments were rem
dered as follows: For husband, plaintiff,
in 397 cases; for wife. plaintiff, in 2S4 cases;
for husband, respondent, in seventeen cases,
and for wife, respondent, in ten cases. The
annual number of petitions filed during the
past five years was S53.
The population of England and Wales is
about 33,0O0OO0, showing, says Consul Cen
eral Evans, that there was one petition for
dissolution of marriage in some form filed
in the courts in 1902 for about each 80, 500
population. He adds that experimental or
trial marriages, seemingly, are not en-
couraged by the ease of securing divorce,
and that the sentiment of the people, sus-
tanned by the courts, is clearly against di-
yorces or the divorced. The established
church, he says, is against performing the
marriage ceremony where either party to
the proposed marriage is divorced person.
