Ihe Russian fleet at Port Arthur, pre
cluding the possibility of its being
able to reinforce the Russian second
pacific squadron, the Japanese have
accomplished the main object of the
desperate assaults against the fortress
-which they have been making for the
past three months.
There is now a strong probability
that, while continuing the siege, they
will avoid losses of the magnitude, al

stead of assaulting, will rely on starv

captured.
HOW JAPANESE FIRE"
SEARCHED OUT SHIPS.
Report Showing the ElTeet of the
Shells* l poll the Vessels*.
Tokio, Dec. 9.—Noon.—The following
report, dated Dec. 8, 10 p. m., h'as been
received from the commander of the
naval land batteries in front of Port
Arthur:
“Eight shells struck the protected
cruiser Pallada to-day and set her on
fire. Simultaneously she began to list
to port, lowering astern. She is deem
ed unfit for navigation.
‘•During the action we discovered the
gunboat Giliak to the landward, north
of the battleship Peresviet and bom
barded her. Eleven of our shells were
effective. This vessel Is also deemed
to be disabled.
“The armored cruiser Bayan caught
fire at 11:30 o’clock this morning. The
fire was not extinguished at 4:15 in
the afternoon. Evidently the cruiser Is
seriously damaged.
The results of our bombardment of
the battleship Sevastopol, the mine
ship (transport) Amur and the trans
ports are not yet known.*’
The above mentioned hits were made
with shells from the heavy guns. Those
made by the small shells are not men
tioned in the report.
Another report from the same eom
fnander, dated 3 o’clock this (Friday)
morning, is as follows:
“As the result of our naval gun
bombardment yesterday (Thursday)
the Bayan was hit six times and the
Amur fourteen times. The Amur is
sinking astern.
“Our cannonade directed against the
storehouses and arsenals at the north
east base of Paiyu mountain result
ed in thirty-six hits, causing great
damage.”
RUSSIAN S~ABAN D 0 N ED
THE SHIPS IN HARBOR.
Tokio, Dec. 9, 5 p. m.—Considerable
astonishment is expressed here over
the fact that the Russians in no way
resisted the disabling of the Port Ar
thur fleet. In (certain quarters, the
opinion is entertained that the Rus
sians opened the seacocks of the sub
merged vessels so as to lessen their
exposure to the Japanese fire.
The recent cessation of mine clear
ing was taken as evidence that the
fleet did not intend to make a sortie.
There was no sign of life on the Rus
sian ships during the bombardment.
Now that the Port Arthur fleet has
•been disabled. It is deemed impossible
for the Russians to overcome the in
feriority of the second Pacific squad
ron to Togo's fleet, unless, at present
unforeseen, the Black sea fleet should
Pass the Dardanelles.
ALEXIEFF MAY GO
DOWN WITH CLADO.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 9.—Capt. Clado
Was arrested this evening by direct
Order of Grand Duke Alexis.
The fact of the arrest and a copy of
the order of arrest were promptly pub
lished for the purpose of showing the
Powers that Russia officially disap
proved of the agitation Capt. Clado
has raised in favor of forcing the
Dardanelles and sending out the Bl’ack
sea fleet, as well as an act of resent
ment of his criticism of the admiralty.
It is rumored to-night that Admiral
■Alexleft, who is generally credited with
having bucked Capt. Clado’s. claim,
has definitely ruined his prospects
thereby and will shortly be relegated
to the Caucasus as viceroy.
SHIPPING IS WARNED

no immediate danger. They also say
that his wound is not necessarily fatal.
However, a thorough examination of
his condition has not yet been made.

TO BEATTHE WOODMEN
Is Alleged to Have Heen the Scheme
of Lennox.
Plattsburg, N. Y., Dec. 9. —Three rep
resentatives of the Woodmen of the
World, a fraternal society of Omaha,
Neb., and two detectives left here to
iright for Cleburne, Tex., with a for
mer private soldier who enlisted un
der the name of Henry Lennox and
who was honorably discharged here on
Nov. 12 last.
B. Wood r Jewell of Omaha, chairman
of the Sovereign Finance Committee of
the Woodmen, who was one of the
party, admitted that Lennox is not the
soldier’s real name.
“This man disappeared from his
home in Cleburne, Tex., in 1901, under
circumstances that led his friends to
believe he had been killed,” said Mr.
Jewell.
“Within the last year a suit was
brought by his wife against the Wood
men of the World on his certificate of
membership in the sum of $2,000. The
association employed detectives and
located the man. He willingly con
sented to return and demonstrate that
he is not dead.”
Lennox, as he was known here, had
a good army record. He was born
at New Liberty, Ky„ in 1872, and is
said to be of an influential family.
Plattsburg, N. Y„ Dec. 9.—According
to the authorities, Lennox is believed
to be O. C. Hiller, whose home is said
to be in Cleburne, Tex. Hiller’s horse
and buggy, it is alleged, disappeared
over a steep river bank in Texas and
he was supposed to have been drowned.
Lennox to-night admitted that he had
lived in Texas, but was uncommunica
tive on other matters.
receivers"named for
SHIP BUILDING CONCERN.
Company That Famished Lumber
Was the Petitioner.
Philadelphia, Dec. 9.—Receivers were
appointed by Judge Davis In Common
Pleas Court to-day for the Neafle &
Levy Ship and Engine Building Com
pany of this city. The receivers were
appointed on application of the S. B.
Vrooman Company, Limited, of this
city, which concern furnished lumber
to the ship building company. The re
ceivers appointed are John Grange, a
retired banker, and Sommers N. Smith,
vice president and general manager of
the Neafle & Levy Company.
The creditors in their application
state that the larger part of the com
pany’s indebtedness has been incurred
in the work done upon vessels under
construction, and that as the work is
completed, either partially or entirely,
upon each vessel, the stipulated con
tract price will become payable there
on. It was, therefore, made neces
sary, the application says, that for the
protection of the creditors of the com
pany Its operations should not be in
terfered with by writs of attachment
or other executions. The monetl ex
pended on the construction of the at.
Louis, which will eventually be return
ed to the company when the govern
ment pays for the cruiser, is given as
the principal cause for the company’s
present financial stress.
The company will be rehabilitated
and continue in business. It Is stated
the assets far exceed the liabilities.

TO GO ON HER BOND
MEANT NOTORIETY
SO MRS. CHADWICK’S IN JAIL.
HOW HER LAWYERS EXPLAIN HER
STAY IN THE TOMBS.
It Is Said a $13,000 Rond (or the
Wouinu Could Have Been Seenred
Had tt Not Been for the Fear ot
Notoriety—Mr*. Chadwick Want
ed to Go to Cleveland, But Her
Lawyers Would Not Consent to
That Move,
New York, Dec. 9.—After a day full
of disagreements with her counsel as
to whether she should waive examina
tion and go to Cleveland. Mrs. Chad
wick finally consented to remain an
other night in the Tombs, but ex
pressed the hope that she might leave
there to-morrow.
Mrs. Chadwick had made up her
mind to ignore the advice of her local
counsel, Messrs. Carpenter and Pow
ers, and go to Cleveland to stand trial
there, when late in the afternoon she
received a telegram from her Cleveland
counsel. Judge Albaugh, asking her not
to return to Cleveland just yet. This
telegram caused her to remain over
night.
Lawyer Carpenter then notified Mar
shal Henkel of her intention, and the
marshal and United States Commis
sioner Shields announced that they
would not remain at their offices after
the usual closing hour on her account,
as they did last night.
Lawyers Carpenter and Powers had
a conference after leaving Mrs. Chad
wick, and Mr. Carpenter said that
nothing further would be done for the
night.
In regard to what would be done to
morrow, Mr. Carpenter was non-com
mittal.
WiUlug to Take Any Rmidumnn.
“Nothing will be done before noon,”
continued Mr. Carpenter. “I do not
care to say whether we have given
up the question of securing bail or not,
but if you know anybody who is will
ing to go on her bond send him along.
We could have obtained bail to-day
were it not for the notoriety attached
to the case.”
Mr. Carpenter declined to discuss
the alleged Carnegie notes, or say
positively whether Mrs. Chadwick
would waive examination to-morrow or
not. Neither would he say anything
about the report that the alleged se
curities of Mrs. Chadwick had been
examined and found to be worthless.
Mrs. Chadwick spent the greater
part of the time from 7 o’clock this
morning until 4 this afternoon in the
corridor in front of her cell. Here
she talked with her lawyers and oth
ers who called to see her. including her
son, Emil and her nurse. Freda. Most
of her visitors remained with her as
long as the prison rules would per
mit.
“Behind These Avrfnl Bara.”
Mrs. Chadwick was led to her cell
in the Tombs prison by an attendant
about 4 o'clock. To the matron, Mrs.
Chadwick said:
“I am glad I -am not going to
Cleveland to-night. I am tired enough
to sleep well, I think, even behind
these awful bars. It has been an ex
tremely trying day, and I am thank
ful it is over. I do not care to go
through many more such ordeals.”
In her cell Mrs. Chadwick ate a
hearty supper. She had chopped beef,
sprinkled.with grated onion, coffee and
oranges.
The matron said Mrs. Chadwick
showed a marked improvement over
her condition in the morning. After
eating Mrs. Chadwick lay on her cot
and said it was her first peaceful mo
ment since 'her troubles in New York
began.
Warden Flynn of the Tombs was so
nervous over the welfare of Mrs. Chad
wick and the possibilities of her doing
herself bodily harm that to-day he
enforced the rule applied only In ex
ceptional cases of not allowing her
either knife or fork with which to
eat. Consequently the lamb chop
which she ordered had to be cut for
her and she ate it with a spoon.
Qnestlnn of Her Sanity.
A report was current about the
Tombs that a request for the appoint
ment of a commission to examine Mrs.
Chadwick as to her sanity will be
made. Lawyer Powers was asked if
there was any trjith in the rumor.
“I am not prepared to talk on that
point just now," he replied after some
hesitation. He was asked again if
there was any foundation for such a
rumor. He laughed and said:
“It would irfake a pretty good de
fense in a criminal action, wouldn’t
it?”
When Mr. Carpenter was asked as
to the probability of securing bail, he
said:
"The situation is exactly the same as
it was last night. Men are willing to
give the bail, but as in the Patterson
case, they fear notoriety.”
HER SISTER UNFOLDS
MRS. CHADWICK’S HISTORY.
Says the Woman Was a Bit Queer
When Yunna,
San Francisco, Dec. 9.—Mrs. Alice
M. York of this city has reiterated her
statement that she is the sister of Mrs.
Chadwick, despite the latter's repudia
tion of the relationship. She said:
"My sister, Elizabeth Blgley, now
Mrs. Chadwick, was born ne%r London,
Canada, about 42 years ago. Her girl
hood day* were spent at Eastwood and
Woodstock, which was the home of our
family. She was not a great reader,
and as for having read books on mes
merism and the like, that is ull non
sense.
"There was nothing peculiar about
her ag a girl, save that she was a deep
thinker. She always seemed absorbed
In thought and would sit In silence by
the hour. She seemed In a trance, and
never would pay attention to any one.
She would come out of those thinking
spells a* if bewildered. She would
never discuss her strange actions nor
the many troubles In which she be
came Involved.
“She never Indicated that she was
possessed of any hypnotic power. At

express agent, who was arrested with
her. The papers were full of it at
the time, and all the talk was hypno
tism. The hypnotism talk, I repeat,
was nonsense.
"It seems to me that my sister had
a mania for doing Just such things that
have noiv involved her in this trouble.
She did not need money, as she had
plenty of it. After that affair in To
ledo, when she was released from
prison, she came to live with me at
my home.'*
FACE VALUE $5*000.000;
ACTUAL VALUE NIL.
Such Wan the iMselnniire ot the
Chadwick “Securities.”
Cleveland, 0.. Dec. 9.—'According to
a story published here to-day. the
package of securities belonging to Mrs.
Chadwick and in the possession of Irl
Reynolds, supposed to contain $3,000,-
000 worth of collateral, was opened to
day. It is declared that while the face
value of the securities was $5,000,000,
the actual value is not 1 cent.
It is also stated that this package
was in a safe deposit vault in Jersey
City until yesterday, when it was tak
en out and brought to this city by Iri
Reynolds.
Mr. Reynolds refuses to either deny
or confirm this report.
DIPHTHERIA GERM
THE ANTITOXINE.
Believe* He Known How to Trent’
Spinal Men ins it in.
Hartford. Conn., Dec. 9.—A solution
of the method of treating cases of cero
bro-spinal meningitis, commonly
known as spotted fever, which, should
it prove successful, will be a great
aid to the medical profession, is an
nounced by Dr. Arthur J. Wolff, bac
teriologist of the Hartford Board of
Health.
Dr. Wolff believes that the anti-tox
ine of spotted fever is found in the
diphtheria germ. When the epidemic
of spotted fever was at its hight in
this city Dr. Wolff, assisted by Dr.
Allen H. Williams, began experiments
with pure cultures obtained by punc
tures made in the spinal canal, and
all these lymphs' so obtained were
found to contain the typical germ
which is the canty of the disease. He
reached the conclusion that the diph
theria bacillus imgy be the much want
ed antl-toxine inf the following man
ner:
First, at the time when spotted fever
was at its hight diphtheria died out.
There was not a case reported while
spotted fever was at its hight.
Second, microscopic examination of
the germ taken from the spinal canal
of the victims of ccrebro-spinal menin
gitis showed hardly a trace of the diph
theria germ. In some cases there was
no trace at all, which is wholly un
usual.
Before experiments to ascertain the
truth of Dr. Wolff's theory could be
attempted the epidemic of spotted fev
er died out.
TRIAL OF NAN PATTERSON.

New York, Dec. 9.—The testimony
of the several witnesses who were to
day examined at the trial of Nan

By R. M. Lamer.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 9.—There
Is consternation among federal officials
who are members of state committees
over an order issued to-day by Post
master General Wynne, at the in
stance of the President. Now that the
elections are over an<J pernicious ac
tivity Is practically over the President
announces that he is opposed to fed
eral officeholders retaining political
positions on state and other commit
tees and remaining active in partisan
politics.
The issue was made on postmasters
In Virginia at Fredericksburg, Peters
burg and two other places. They were
JnJformed that it was against the
policy of the President and the Post
office Department for postmasters to
take activo part In politics, and it is
understood that they have sent in
their resignations to the State Com
mittee, preferring to do this rather
than lose their*positions.
This leaves only one federal office
holder on the Republican State Com
mittee of Virginia, Park Agnew, chair
man of the committee and Internal
revenue collector of the Second Vir
ginia district, which has headquarter*
at Alexandria. It Is understood that
he will not give up his position as
chairman, although there Is a demand
from the Slemp faction that Agnew
be forced to resign. Agnew's friend*
declare that he would resign his col
lectorshlp before he would give up hi*
position as chairman of the State
Committee.
The Postoffice Department has given
postmasters everywhere to understand
that the President will be rigid in the
enforcement of his policy against ac

by federal office holder*.
It remains to he seen how the Pres

The Atrocious Heeit of a Woman
Near America*.
Amerlcus, Ga.. Dec. 9.—The most
heinous murder committed in this vi
cinity in years was revealed this aft
ernoon 4n the discovery of the dead
and charred body of 'Melton Wright,
a negro, 90 years old, concealed behind
a pile of burning pine logs with his
head, arms and legs already burned
away.
The discovery was made by a negro
woman visiting at Wright's house on
a plantation four miles south of Amer
lcus. Wright's wife, Anna Wright, has
since confessed the killing and was
jailed here to-night. She shot her
aged husband as he lay In bed and
afterwards dragged the corpse away
and burned It In an effort to conceal
the crime. The woman’s statement
was that she had been drinking recent
ly and whisky may have caused the
murder, although a white tramp has
been living with the couple recently
for whom the woman conceived a ten
derness.
The deliberation exercised In well
nigh destroying the body by fire causes
much astonishment here.
