sToESSEL'S FRIEND.
General Kuropatkin Gives Evidence
Favorable to Officer.

ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. l3.-Gencral
Kuropatkin testified yesterday at the
court martial OF General Stoessel and
other army officers charged with need
lessly surreniering Port Arthur to the
Japanese, that the japanese could have
taken Port Arthur by assault in the
early days Of the war, as the deienses
were then incomplete. On the waolc,
General kuropatkins evidence was ia
vorable TO General Stoessel.
The conduct OF General Fock, who Is
charged with responsibility for the de-
feat at Nanshan and the subsequent
retirement to Port Arthur, also was re-
viewed BY the court, and the evidence Of
General kuropatkin was helpful to this
officer as well.
General Kuropatkin declined to answer
several questions, on the ground that TO
do so would make known military &C.
cfets, but he said that the whole plan
OF the war was based upon tho sup
posed inyineibility OF the Russian lleet
and that the original scheme for the
defense OF Port Arthur could not be
carried out successfully after the squad
ron had been crippled by the treaeherous
opening attack Of the japanese
According TO the indictment, General
Fock's retreat from Nanshan jeopar'
died the fortress, but General Stoessel
produced orders from General kuropat'
kin and Vieeroy Alexieif justiiying
Fock's retirement, and he obtained the
admission from General Kuropatkin that
the position was untenable without the
assistance OF the fleet Over the fleet
General Stoessel had no authority.
The name of ex.viceroy Alexieff, who
has declined to appear az witness, was
mentioned continually yesterday in an
unfavorable light, and ripple Of merri'
ment was provoked by phrase IN one
OF his orders, saying:
"The chief task Of Fock is to re-
treat at the proper time"
General Kuwpatkin did not conceal
his animosity toward the ex.viceroy'
and declared that Alexieff had forbidden
him to visit the fortress before the
siege.

CITY POLITICS NOW DUE
ELECTION IN NORFOLK is LESS
THAN MONTH AWAY.
cAUCUSES WILL COME SOON

The City is Just Beginning to Think
of the Coming Campaign and No
Candidates for Offices Have as Yet
Been Announced.
A nearly complete list or city Off
Gals will be chosen at the election on
Tuesday, April 2. The officers whose
terms of service expire this spring
are: Mayor John Friday, Councilman
p Crotty, p. Stafford, A. II. Kiesau
and j. S. Mathewson, Clerk j. H.
Huff, Treasurer j. e. Haase Police
Judge |. G. Westervelt, City Engineer
II. Salmon, and Dr. II. j. Cole and c..
j. Hibben, members of the board of
education.
Mayor Friday, who is serving his
second term as mayor of the city of
Norfolk, has not made a public state
ment as to whether or not he desires
a denomination. Two other men who
have been discussed about the city in
connection with the mayoralty nomina-
ton are Albert Degner and w. r.
HOFFMAN. Mr.. Degner, who has been
subjected to annual pressure in this
connection on the part of his demo.
cratic friends, is as positive as ever
that he does not desire the nominal
ton. Mr.. Hoffman has also frowned
on those who have approached him in
regard to heading the republican tick
ct this year.
The Norfolk city election, falling on
April 2, is less than a month distant.
Probably within the coming week the
voters of the two parties will be called
on to hold caucuses and conventions
for the purpose of placing the city
tickets in the field for the spring cleo
ton. Despite the rather short time
at hand in which to take action along
political lines the men who are inter-
ested in party affairs and the city gov
eminent are only just beginning to
canvass the situation. AS usual in
municipal elections in cities the size
of Norfolk most of the Offices will have
to pursue the men as candidates are
not evincing any strong disposition to
announce themselves to the voters.

The Riqht Kind OF a Friend.

Advice is cheap; almost anyone is
willing to give it gratis but when a
man backs 1t up with hard.carned dol
lars then you may count him as a real
friend. Lucy Suddreth, of Lenoir N.
c. had been troubled with very bad
cough for over year. She says: "A
friend told me about Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, but as had tried sew
eral cough medicines and none Of them
did me any good, | had no faith in it.

Later on my friend bought "A bottle Of

surprise 1t helped me. Four bottles Of
it cured me of my cough" For sale

pot. II this is done, then the driver
might go another block south. but
here again he finds another maze of
switches and in all probability an en-.
CINE dancing back and forth with n
string of cars. These then are the
crossings over railroad tracks between
the east and west sides of town, and
/ ! submit to you that the business men
of the city should protest against the
closing of the best OF these available
to people who live on the west side
and those farmers who must come
through the west side of town to reach
the stores.
While railroads should be given ev.
cry opportunity to handle their bust
ness advantageously, yet some rights
should be reserved to the public who
make 1t possible for the railroads to
have business to do. When Philip av-
enue Is closed, which IL may be If the
supreme court decision Is favorable.
then the only really safe street to
cross from east to west has been taken
away from the public. If the COM
panies can be induced to locate a
union depot on Norfolk avenue and
leave some of the other streets avail
able to the driving public at all times
except when trains are actually pass
ing, 1t would be much better than to
have the Northwestern depot rebuilt
in the street near its old location.
