About year ago the REFLECTOR in
an editorial told Of the possibilities Of
a wholesale grocery II it could have
the kind of support at home that q
home institution deserves. That
article set several capitalists to think
ing and the result was that the Rice
Johntz-Nicolay Wholesale Grocery

to note the beginning Of this institu-
ton and to see what has been accom-
plished.
A visit to the new building that has
been erected and is now occupied sur
prises everyone. 1t is a modern
cement structure 1870 feet long and
80 feet wide, with basement 30xS0
feet, stored supply Of every sort Of

bad FOR STOESSEL.
The Russian General Accused Of
cowardiee in Presence Of
the Enemy.
DIsREGAROs THREE ORDERS
Gen. kuropatkIn Repeatedly Instruct
ed Him to Turn Oyer Command
Of Fortress to Smyrnoff
But He Refused.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 19.--Lieuten
ant General Stoessel was accused
Wednesday Of having shown the white
feather under fire on two different oc
casions. This accusation was made
by Colonel Gurko, who was on the
stand as a witness before the court
martial which Is trying the general
for his alleged failure In the proper
defense of Port Arthur. At the mo
ment the court was investigating
the circumstances Of Gen. Kuropat-
kin's order dated June is, 1904, in
which Gen. Stoessel was told to turn
over the command of the fortress to
Gen. Smyrnoff and join the Man
churian army. Gen. Stoessel disre-
garded this order and it was repeated
three times. He suppressed the copy
of the order addressed to Gen. Smyr-
noff and finally was allowed to re-
main at Port Arthur.
Gen. Kuropatkin testified that early
in May doubts had arisen as to the
ttness of Gen. Stoessel to command
the fortress owing to his nervousness.
This idea was strengthened by COM
munication sent by Gen. Smyrnoff to
his aide, Col. Gurko, that Stoessel
was coward and apt to lose his
head during an assault and that 1t
might be necessary to place him I'M
der arrest to prevent the fall of the
fortress. Gen. Kuropatkin, after OBJ
tanning confrmatory details Of the
statement from Col Gurko, sending
the order supersetling Gen. .Stoessel.
Answering Gen. Stoessel's query as
to what grounds he had for making
such a statement to Gen. Kuropatin,
Col. Gurko related two instances in
which Gen. Stoessel had ordered his
staff to scatter under fire, himself
heading the dash for shelter
Col. Golovan, who was in charge Of
the coding Of messages to Port Ar
thur, established the receipt by Gen.
Stoessel of Gen. Kuropatkin's orders.
He said he gave the order for Gen.
Smyrnoff to assume command of the |
fortress to Gen. Reiss, who after con-
ferring with Gen. Stoessel directed
him to move the copy from the files
and suppress the record thereof. Only
FIVE men in the fortress knew Of this
order.
The testimony brought to light the
fact that Gen., Kuropatkin,
before the war, had recommended the
of Port Arthpr and the
restoration Of the Kwangtung PENN
sula to the Chinese, who were to pay
S125, 100000 for it. He considered
that the opening Of Port Dalny de-
stroyed the strategic Importance Of
Port Arthur. Gen. Kuropatkin said
10 had finally decided not to inter
ERE with Gen. Stoessel on account Of
lis unexpected success in holding the
ortress, which theoretically required
39, 1000 men to be defended success
ully.
