Siege Profitable to Mime. stoesseI.

St. Petersburg. Jan. 23.-Testimony showing the straits of the civil popula- tion at Port Arthur during the siege was given at the court martial of Lieutenant General Stoessel by Colo nel Vershinin, who was civil commis- sioner of that place. According to Colonel Vershinin, mere existence was luxury for civilians. Provisions were enormously expensive. A COW cost $500. a pig $500. eggs S1 apiece and other things correspondingly. He testified that Mme. Stoessel had a large herd of cattle and flock of chickens and charged exorbitant prices. Shortly before the surrender, he said, she summoned merchant and at- tempted to dispose of these, the sup position being that she had hint of the coming surrender.
