on this point there was a difference of
opinion. All favored voting for Judge
Gilfallan as longsas there was any hope
for him, but believed that to vote for

antagonize Clapp's many friends in the

RUSSIA'S THREAT

Chicago, Jan. 16.-Walter Wellman,N
in Washington special to the Record
Herald, says:
becoming involved in the troubles in
the far east? In diplomatic circles
this possibility is specialized upon with
the keenest interest. In case China
chooses to avail herself of the latest
Russian diplomatic blunder and to de-
mand boldly the protection of the
United States, situation, already COM
plicated enough, may become much more
complicated, and with possible conse-
quences so tar-reachlng that no one
can foresee the end.
The exact purpose Of Russia in adj
dressing a circular note to the powers
protesting against the violation of neu-
trality by China, charging the Chinese
with having given material aid to ia
pan, and conveying warning to the
powers and a threat to China that Rus
STA intends to use complete liberty of
action in dealing with future abuses
derstood here, and the future cannot
be foretold till the next move is made
by Russia.
One explanation is that Russia is
simply making case against China so
as to have a foundation for demanding
pecunlary or territorial compensation
when the peace proposals are considered.
In some opinions this foreshadows that
Russia soon will seek peace.
Another explanation is that Russia is
trying to intimidate China and brighten
her out Of any intention to ally herself
with Japan.
Should Russia take action now to the
injury Of China there is every reason to
believe that the Chinese government
will appeal to the United States and to
other powers for protection, turning
naturally to the United States first be-
cause Mr.. Hay is the father Of the
! policy of administrative entity :. -
T In case that appeal should be made
and China be able to show that her
hands are clean and that she has done
everything that her obligations impose
it would be difficult, perhaps impossl-
BILE, for the United States and the other
powers to leave her to her fate and the
mercy of Russia. Without doubt the
United States and the other powers
would protest to Russia.
That the future holds possibilities OF
dynamite waiting only spark to ex-
plode it, can easily be seen.

square of the new town. Inc army was
represented by one regiment from each
BRIGADE. The procession which was
five miles long, was three hours passing

Arthur were first made Dec. ~ at
council of war. General Stoessel was
in favor of surrender, but some OF his
general officers were bitterly opposed to
It. The regimental , officers r ana s int
troops were not consulted. me nrsG
news they had of the surrender was
Jan. /, after General Stoessel had COM
muncated with the Japanese.
A Drunken Orgy.
The scenes following the surrender
were disgraceful Drunken soldiers
filed the streets and refused TO OBEY
their officers.
Manv of them destroyed the guns
upon the positions they had defended
and came into the city without per-
mission. The infantry loudly protested
that the fortress had been given away.
They threw their rifles and ammunition
into the harbor and proceeded to break
into warehouses and loot ana drink
vodka until in helpless condition.
It was evident that the surrender was
not necessary, as there were 81 900 eff
fective men in the fortress. The sup
Dlv of ammunition was short, but 1t was
not exhausted. Food was scarce, but
private stores were not requlsltloned
bv the military. There is no difficulty
in getting good meals in the city even
now from the stores in private posses

capable Of defense for months longer.
Stoessel Is Blamed.
1t was the opinion of the non-com-
batants at Port Arthur that the sur
render was unnecessary, as the troops
were willing and able to fight to the
bitter end. General Stoessel was much
blamed for what was characterized as
a dsgraceful conclusion Of a splendid
defense, which ended with the death OF
Major General Kondratenko, who was
loved by the soldiers and was the life
of the defense. .-'~
Memorial to Spirits.
Memorial services were held today

RAYMOND HAS CONFESSED
vfcts COnfesses to Gov. Folk
Reward for ACcOmpIices.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 27.-Gov.
Folk has announced that he will offer
a reward Of $500 for the arrest and con-
viction Of the persons who furnished
the firearms and explosives to the con-
victs which were used in the mutiny
last Friday at the penitentiary.
Gov. Folk has secured from Edward
Raymond a confession regarding the
matter. Raymond told the governor
that Vaughan came to Ryan, Blake and
himself, about a month ago, and told
them that If they would join him he
would enable them to make their es-
cape. Vaughan told them while they
were together in their cell that he had
explosives by which he could blow up
the stockade and they could escape.
Later when it was discovered that
Vaughan did not have a sufficient
amount of the explosives, it was de-
cided to hold up the deputy warden
and make him let them out through
the round gate. Blake was locomo-
tive engineer, and the plan was to cap
ture an engine and make their escape
on It. This apparently explains their
run to the Missouri Pacific yard, where
Blake was killed before they came to
an engine.
Raymond denied to the governor that
he knew of the firearms until the time
came for the carrying out of the plot,
when Vaughan took the other convicts
to the sole leather room of the factory
and showed them the pistols and the
ammunition Vaughan had kept these
hid all the time.

in which he paid high tribute to the
deceased who lost his life in perform
ance of his duty. Among other things
he said:
"The greatest honor that q man can
attain is to die at his post of duty.
This brave man, whose mortal re-
mains this afternoon we return to
mother earth, achieved that distinc-
tion. When the desperadoes in their
wanton break for liberty came upon
him, he had the option of being recre-
ant to his trust and saving his life or
being faithful to duty and to die. He
chose the latter, and he choose well;
for it is better, far better, to fill he
rO's grave than to live the life of a
coward. would rather. far rather, be
this man in this grave than the
richest man in all the world with a
towards heart. I want the state Of
Missouri, through the next general as
sembly, to erect a monument here and
at Clinton, where the courageous old
confederate who gave his life for his
state is now being laid to rest, and on
each Of these monuments I want in
scribed the words: He died at his post
Of duty A greater eulogy than this
can not be paid to any man. I want
the names of John Clay and of Ephriam
Allison to live in the hearts of CRATE
full people; I want their bravery to be
enshrined in song and in story, though
their bodies are in the dust"

The following appeal has been issued:
To the Methodists of Mississippi
Erecting: With confidence we call upon
you to make liberal Thanksgiving Of
fering to the cause of the Mississippi
Metb.dists' Orphan Home on this our
1ay of national thanksgiving.
For eight years we have called on
you in the maintenance and care of the
orphans placed in our charge. We have
never called without receiving a liberal
response. Our needs increase year by
year as the work expands. God has been
very gracious to us. While we conf
IDENTIFY expect the usual liberality from
our loyal friends of the cause, we beg to
remind you of the expense necessitated
by the rebuilding of the home and its
furnishing. Starting little over year
ago with $500, proceeds of insurance
on old building, we have been enabled to
care for the home with 100 inmates and
accumulate fund nearly sufficient to
erect building fully equipped with
modern conveniences, at cost of $685.
900, counting all good subscriptions. In
order to make the final payment it viii
be necessary for us to have $4,000 more.
For this amount we earnestly appeal to
the Methodists of Mississippi as u
thank offering to the God of all mercies.
Your brethren in the work,

CATTLE THIEVES
Operating Extensively Around Chat
tanooga.

CanOOSa.
Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. 28.-Oper-
ating much after the style of Western
bandits, two white men, whose names
are not yet known by the officers, have
been stealing cattle from farmers in
the vicinity of Ooltewah and Tyners,
ten miles from this city. Yesterday
about 10 o'clock the daring thieves
rode through farm owned by man
named MCGEE and drove away ten
Jersey milch COWS. It is said that the
bad men were riding dashing horses
and both carried guns.
The office of Sheriff Shipp was noti-
fed and several deputies, heavily armed,
were sent from Chattanooga with the
hope of capturing them. After hunt
ing for miles around Coltewah the depu-
ties gave up the chase.
1t was first thought the cows were
being driven to Chattanooga, but from
the best information ootainable last
night it was presumed that the robbers
escaped by going into the rugged hills
of North Georgia. Some of the border
counties have had trouble previously
on account of the depredations of cattle
thieves. Officers think that the gang
operating at present is a determined
set of men and will probably give a
stern resistance asreal Western rangers
when brought to bay.

GEO. ADAMS REGULATIONS
Instead of $4,000, to which He Has
Confessed, 1t is Believed They
Will Reach 100000

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 25.-Late devel-
opments in the arrest of George Ed
ward Adams, late cashier in the United
States assay office here, for emttzzle-
ment, indicates that instead of steal
ing $4,000 in gold dust, to which he
has confessed, his peculations may
amount close to 100000, and that in
stead of covering a period of six
months, they will run farther back
than 1903. Adams bondsmen have
withdrawn from the $4,000 bond, and
Adams was remanded to jail to await
his preliminary hearing
Several Alaska men have already in
formed the federal officers that they
believe they have been defrauded by
some one in the assay Office. One man
declares that out of $4,000 in gold dust
deposited there, only 5000 was re-
turned to him.
Friends of the family have not dared
to inform Mrs Adams of her husbands
trouble, for she is very i'll and the news
might kill her. Mrs. Adams was Miss
Emily Clary, a well-known society
girl. A few days ago she became
mother.
