C’ So Declares the Newspapers of the Czar's Empire—How the News of the Surrender Was Received In Rus sia—Other Eastern News. Headquarters of the Japanese Third Army at Port Arthur, Jan. f, via Che Foo, Jan. 4, S p. m.— (Censored)—The flag of the Rising Sun floats tonight over the captured citadel of Port Ar thur! When th,Q news of the surrender of the fortress reached the soldiers yes terday, leaping from mouth to mouth the Japanese drew close to their late enemies and fraternized freely with them. When nightfall came great bonfires a e in tne Japanese camp like a llazin ; halo, while great choruses of “Banzai!” echoed through the hills. The entire garrison and all the non- combatants will march out of the city tomorrow to the village of Yahutwei,, near the shores of Pigeon Bay, where the Russian officers will be transport ed to Dalny, and thence wherever they may desire. The prisoners of war will be de tained at the Russian barracks in the village until they can be transferred to Dalny. London, Jan. 4.—The Japanese cap tured 26,000 prisoners at Port Arthur. The total number of inhabitants is 35,000, of which 20,000 are sick. Newa From Japan’s Capital. Tokio, Jan. 4.—Noon.—General Nog! reports to the army department that on Jan. il::“ commissioners of both the Japanese ami Russian armies ccnclu 1- ed their conference and that from U.e morning of Jan. 4, the actual transfer of war materials at Port Arthur ,.s property of the Japanese government commenced. The Jiji discussing the nature of Port Arthur reviews the price paid !n lives, and says: “We ought to keep Port Arthur in hands so long as our empire exists. Port Arthur is the key to peace iu the Far East and it is our duty to keep the key in our hands.” Commander Pelem and a lieutenant of the Russian torpedo boat desfnyi r Rastoropny, who was captured cn board the British steamer N'gretia, and taken on board of her to Sasebo, have confessed their indent.lty before the naval court there. Before they posed as German supercargos but when confronted with the result s of the Jap anese investigations at Shanghai, con cealment was impossible. They Lave been declared prisoners of war. No contraband has yet been dis covered on board of the Nigretia. Her cargo consists of kerosene, and the prize court is still undecided upon what action to take in her case. It is probable if the ship is condemned, it will be solely owing to connivance in the escape of the Russian officers. House and Senate Reconvene After Holiday R'Scesa. Washington, Jan. 4.—Whan the house reconvened today after the holi day recess, Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio) sub mitted the report of the merchant ma rine committee, the minority being given until Friday to submit thoir views.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 4.—The press here contains absolutely no additional news of the war, but the papers, with one exception, have word of the Port Arthur garrison and record furnishes an object lesson to both Russia and Japan. After be t iwing a tribute on the defenders, the Novoe Vremya says: The uupreparedness of the (fortress, which now stands confessedly before the world, reads as a lesson on what Russia must do and how she must change her methods to achieve victory. It also shows Japan v/hat she has undertaken, when such enormous loss es are entailed in capturing even a small, empty-handed garrison driven to the last ditch. Russia has had eleven months of hard but valuable experi- eti|:e in the art of war under the new conditions imposed by modern techni cal requirements. It has been costly training, but it will be valuable. In an even more strongly worded article, tl;e Russ says: “Had the Japanese been able to cut off the last train which reached Port Arthur, the blockade would have founu the fortress even worse prepared. Well may those few remaining neroes say: “ ‘We have done our duty, but you, O people of St. Petersburg and of Rus. «in, have you done all you could and should have done?’ ” The Russ concludes: “Russia can ill-afford to quit during a losing fight. The time has now come for every one to put a shoulder to the wheed and redeem our presitge in the Far East.’ The paper bluntly attributes to the effect of muzzling the regime under the late minister of the Interior, Van Plehve, the fset that the nation was not fully warned before hand of the real conditions to be faced at the open ing of the war and says the press Is now more fully able to point out the need: and urge the nation to activity. One of the most serious features of the Port Arthur fall, according to the Novosti is the effect on the already questionable neutrality of rffb Chinese. Loss of prestige in the eyes of the O’ '- utnls, says the paper, is much ’ an the strateg.cal value • !:o fortress. Takes Life Soon After Marriage. Charleston, Jan. 4.—The inquest was held Tuesday over the body of Charles G. Welbrock, a wholesale fruit dealer, who shot himself in his private office while under temporary aberration of the mind. The inquest could cast but little light on the tragedy, since there wore no witnesses to the suicide, Welbrock having first locked himself in the office and although the door was forced open and he was found before death, he was unconscious and could offer no explanation for his act. Believed that the Board Has Too Many Members To Be Useful. Washingtou, Jan. 4.—Reduction of the personnel of the isthmian canal | commission, rather than complete abol ishment of the commission Is the plan which probably will be adopted if the ideas of high officials of the adminis- ' tradition including inlluential members of the senate and house are followed, i That the present commission Is ham pered by numbers is generally admit ted. It is declared that the machin ery would move more speedily and with far less f. union if the commission consisted of live members instead of seven, and : omo go so far as to favor a commission of only three men. Re garding the authority to bo vested in the engineers of the canal it is tin opinion of officials high in authority that when tlio engineers should be giv en great latitude and much should bo left to thoir discretion they should, in the main, be a consulting and advisory body and that the commission should reservo to itself executive powers. How these ideas shall take effect or how radically they may be amended before they are adopted Is entirely problematical. NOTED ORCHESTRA LEADER DEAD Theodore Thomas Expert Violinist Sue. cumbs to Pneumonia. Chicago, Jan. 4.—Theodore Thomas, the noted orchestra leader, died of pneumonia at his residence here early today. He was 70 years old. Theodore Thomas, who was the son of an expert violinist, was born at Eseus, Hanover, Germany, Oct. 11, 1835. In 1845, his parents brought him to the United Stages, settling in New York city. Even at this early age. the boy had created an impres sion as a violinist. A concert trip through the southern cities In 1851 proved such a success that when Mr. Thomas returned to New York he be came one of the tlr-st violins in the con cert and operatic performances during the engagements in America for Jenny Lind, Sontag, Bresi and other great opera singers. The real beginning in Mr. Thomas’ musical career was through a series of chamber concerts at New York during the years inter vening 1855 and 1872. rr# ej- r- j THE SAFE, FlEASAKT, NATURAL SURE For Dyspepsta.
