v
Conditions of (ien Nogi Accepted
by (Jen Stoesse^?Terms Not
Known.
Tokio, ?Jhu 2 10 p m.?The
text of Gen Nogi's telegram an
nouncing the capitulation of tbe
Russian forces at Port Arthnr is
as follows:
"Tbe plonipotentiarie? of both
parties concluded thou* negotiations
today at 4.30 o'clock. The
Russian commissioners accepted
on the whole the conditions stip-J
ulntud hv us and consented to I
capitulate. Tho document has '
been prepared and signatures are
now beiug ullixed. Simultaneous
ly with tho conclusion of negotiations
both armies suspended hos- !
tililics. It is expected tho Japan
esc army, will enter the city of
Port Arthur tomorrow. "
Port Arthur, whoso hills havo |
for months run red with the blood
of the bravest of two warlike nation*,
has at last succumbed to
tho fierce tonucity of tho Japanese
attack. Gen Stoessol, moat stub-!
b.rn in carrying out the.will of
his sovereign, has seen the advanco
of tho besieging army gain in momentum
and energy until .to hold
out longer would have been a
ctime against humanity. The
conditions of tho surrender ars 1
not vet known, hut in all quarters
; anticipated that they aro such
as an honorable soldioi may accept *
from a brave and victorious enemy.
At 0.45 o'clock last night the <
I commissioners completed the signing
of iho capitulation agreement.
! tfoih armies had susponded hos|
tililics live hours earlier. The
; city of Port Arthur will bo occu'
pied by the Japanese today,
i Tho authorities at 8t Petersburg,
in tho absence of direct official
now from Gob Stoessel that
Port Arthur has surrendered, have
' not permitted the news to become
public umipoior isicnoias ib in
llio south of Russia, unci bis ruinintern
uro for ^the time being in
tbo dark na to what dispatches

Tokio wae the scene of lejoic..
ing people of all ranks finding in
the outcome compeasation for all
tho sacrifice of life and money
that was entailed in the tan
months siege.
To what extent the fall of Port

Ginnors' Meeting at Atlanta.
Atlunta, Dec 30' ?At a meeting
of a number of ginnera of
Gcoigia and Alabama beie two
vice presidents wore nuQ.ed for",
Georgia to attend the next con-j
vention of cotton gmners to be
held in Dallas, Toxas. President
J A Taylor, of the National
GinneiV Association, wus prosent
at the meeting and made an address
urging ginners to retaining
formation regarding cotton produced.
Among other things be saic*:'
"The government roport of the
cotton crop is totally incorrect.
Theso reports are as far wrong as
anything I know. Many ginnord
did not count their bales correctly,
often udding ninny hundred bales
more than tboy hud in reality ginned.
In many instance* tho num-i
her of hales ginned was guessed J
at. I have come to the conclusion!
that I and tho othor ginners were j
chumps for giving out tho repoits |
