temporarily as result of the audience which

The retirement of Governor General Gerhard
notwithstanding what has passed, is only a ques-

winning the good opinion of the people of Fin
land. the Russian government has been dissatis-
fed at his failure to cooperate more energeti-

KUROPATK[N TEST[FIES
Says the japanese Could Haze
Taken Port arthur Earlier.

St Petersburg Dec 1.-THE trial by court
martial of Lieutenant General Stoessel for his
failure TO hold Port Arthur was attended to-day
by vice-Admiral Doubassoff and General Kaul-
bars who was commander of the Russian sec
Gnd army The appearance of General Kaulbars,
who was accompanied by an adjutant from
Odessa created a sensation in the court, as it
was his first meeting face to face with General
Kuropatkin since the publication of the latters
book which attributed to General Kaubars
large share of the blame for the failure OF the
Russian army in Manchuria- The two generals
saluted in stiff military fashion. but did not
speak
General iKuropatkin's testimony created
sensation in the courtroom. He declared that
the japanese could have taken Port Arthur by
assault in the early days of the war. The de-
fences were then so incomplete, General huro-
patkin went on, that the fortress must have
fallen at the first vigorous attack, but the slow
moss of the Japanese and the resistance made by
the army in the field gave the Russians time
TO improvise defence works which had With
stood the japanese for months. General kuro-
patkfn's evidence was favorable TO Generai
Stoessel.
The conduct Of General Fock, who is charged
with responsibility for the defeat at Nanchah
and the subsequent retirement to Port Afthur'
also was reviewed by the court, and the evl-
Qence or General hufOpdlhiH was iASiPAoA ~ N
officer as well
General Kuropatkin declined to answer sew
eral questions on the ground that TO DO SO
would make known military secrets but ne
did say that the whole plan of the war was
based upon the supposed invincibility OF the
Russian fleet and that the original scheme Tor
the defence Of Port Arthur could not be carried
out successfully after the squadron had been
crippled by the "treacheTous opening attack OF
the Japanese"
According TO the indictment, General Focks
retreat from Nanchan jeopardized the fortress.
but General StoesSel produced orders from
General Kuropatkn and Viceroy Alexieff justi-
flying Focks retirement, and he obtained the
admission from General Kuropatkin that the
position was untenabe without the assistance
of the fleet Over the fleet General Stoessel
had no authority.
The of former Viceroy Alexieff, who
has declined to appear as a witness, men,
toned continually to-day in an ufavorable
light, and a ripple Of merrinent was provoked
by a phrase in of his orders saying "The
chief task of Fock Is to retreat at the proper
time" General Kuropatkiu did not conceal his
animosity toward the former viceroy. and de-
cared that AlexieT had forbidden him to visit
the fortress before the siege.

AMERICAN THIRST FOR GOLD.
Compels London and Berlin to Advance Con-

leader in the Reichstag. delivered speech to-day
on the bill modifying the bourse law. He said that
London is in the same plight as Berlin being COM

rho American thirst for gold. Hence he argued. 1t
was untrue that the German bourse law contributed
to make the Berlin security market more dependent
upon the American money market than upon the
other European centres
Tho pr,,ssIan Minister of Commerce, Herr Del
br,ck in reply admitted that the bourse law had
nowerfuI effect in causing German fnanciers TO
onerate on foreign stock exchanges. and that 1t
also had increased dishonesty among German ousl-
.ss neonle ard thus damaged Germany's business
ho,or abroad The law greatly damaged
German exchanges the Minister continued that its
r.,,sion cannot soon remedy the evils done.
