THE STOESSEL
TRIAL BEGINS
ACCUSED OF SURRENDERING
PORT ARTHUR BEFORE RE-
SOURCES ARE EXHAUSTED.
SIDE LIGHTS ON the SIEGE
Russian General VIII Also Be Tried
or Charge of Lacking Initiative
and with Having Exceeded
His Powers.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 10.-The final
stage of the court-martial of Lieut..
Gen. Stoessel will begin in this city
today. There have been p~rotracted
delays In taking the testimony in the
far east, but now this material is in
order and proceedings will go ahead
rapidly.
General Stoessel is accused of hav-
ing surrendered the fortress at Port
Arthur before he had exhausted all
the of defense. The punish
ment for this, under the Russian
code, is death. He is to be tried also
on the charge of lacking initiative and
with having exceeded his powers. Gen
eral Fook and General Reiss are CO
defendants with him. The first is &C.
cused of having conspired the sur
render of the fortress and the second
with having executed the order of sur
render. General Smirnoff, General
Stoessels most bitter enemy, is to
be tried on a minor count. The court
will be composed of nine generals un-
der the presidency of Vice Admiral
Doubassoff. 1t will include Generals
Kuropatkin, Bilderling, Myloff and 9TH
ers. General Garsky will be judge ad-
yocate. General Stoessel will be de-
| Tended by Deputy Syrtlanoff and Col.
Veliamoff. The trial is exciting the
most intense interest in army circles.
NI.I kLe End lie Near
General Stoessel is in a pitiable
| state of excitement over the final hear
| ing of his case and the doctors are
apprehensive of the effect upon the
veteran officer, who has suffered two
paralytic strokes since the fall Of the
fortress. The general told the repre-
sentative of the press that he was glad
that the trial was at last coming to a
| close. He expects to be fully rehabill-
tated.
General Fook is considered to be re-
sponsible for the evacuation of vitality
important forts between Dec. IL and
Jan. | and the evidence on this point
is incontrovertible. The indictments
give a terrible graphic description, to
which the defending forces were re-
duced by shell and rifle fire, mines and
hand grenades. The losses We're enor-
NOUS; on one position alone the cas-
ualties exceeded 400 in a single day
and at another point there were but
80 survivors from a detachment OF
over 800 men. Nevertheless, neither
General Gorbatowsky nor General
Smirnoff admitted the possibility OF
voluntarily evacuating the defense
and they both bitterly %upbraided Gen
Fook, when they heard of his order tc
do so. The last military council be
fore the capitulation was held at Por'
Arthur on the eve of Dec. 20.

Leyee Tax Exemption.

The announced intention of the dis
sissippi board of levee commissioners
to secure a cancellation of the five-year
tax exemp ion granted to new railroads
built in that section of the State has
aroused considerable opposition among
prominent landowners, who claim that
the repeal of such exemption would act
as a check on the construction OF new
railway lines, so badly needed for the
proper development of that territory.

Goldfeld, New, Dec. 10.-The mines

Thursday next. The wage scale is TO
be reduced. No member Of the west

ment. Meanwhile men will be brought
here to the number of 500 to take the
places of the strikers.
Such is the decision of the executive
committee of the Mine Owners Asso-
citation. The change from Wednesday
to Thursday was made to allow time
to get men from other points here to
replace strikers. Governor Sparks will
come to Goldfeld on Thursday. The
troops now here will be scattered
through the camp and will practically
guard the mines. The card system
as used at Cripple Creek will be in
troduced. Frank A. Keith, generai
manager of the Tonopah Mining Co.
and other prominent mining men from
other camps are here in consultation
with the Goldfield owners.

that a traction engine is a vehicle, and

that roads and bridges must be bull
