Take him all in all, and a physically sounder an4 mor tally straighter soldier doesn't live or dwell on the face of the globe.

At 9:45 o'clock Sunday night the commissioners completed the singing of the capitulation agreement . Both armies had suspended hostilities five hours earlier.' The city of Port Ar thur will.be occupied by the Japanese. The authorities at St. Petersburg, in the absence of direct official news from General Stoessel that Port Ar thur has surrendered, have no, per mitted the news to become public. Em-, peror Nicholas is in the south bf Rus sia, and his Ministers are for the time being in the dark as to what dis patches have been sent to him, from the front t Tokiq was the scene of rejoibing, people of all ranks finding in the out come compensation for all the sacri fice of life -and money that was en tailed in the ten months' siege. To what extent the fall of Port Ar thur; will make for a restoration of peace is an open question. There is an encouraging note in the expression by Baron Hayashi, Japanese minister at London, of the hope that "In some way it will facilitate final peace," though the pacific note is perhaps lost in the later words of the minister, whicn call attention to the fact that the besieging army will now be free to go. north, where it will be an offset to the rein forcements General Kuropatkin has been receiving from Russia since the battle of Shakhe. The spirit of the Russians may be judged by the state ment of the secretary of the embassay at London that the campaign will be renewed with fresh vigor in the spring, ,and that the nation will not be content to permit Port Arthur to remain in the hands of the Japaese. Both in Paris and in London the opinion is that the squadron under: Vice Admiral Rojestyensky, which started from -JJibau for -tire far East three months ago, will have to retrace its way home, as adherence to the original plans would invite disaster without probability of effecting a junc tion with the warships at pressnt in the harbor of Vladiyostock. That Japan may hot be-permitted to retain pos session of Port Arthur without dispute, is shown; in the fact 'that Fari3 news-: papers are already reviving the fclaim made In 1901 that h holding of that position commanding Uhe Eastern seas by the Japanese would be a uienace to European powers. Chefoo, By Cable Commander Kart zow, or tne Russian torpedo boat de stroyer Vlastnl, which arrived here uuoay, in an interview said: Port Arthur falls of exhaustion, exhaustion not only : of ammunition, but of men . ' . , ; . - " 'The remnant of the garrison left had been doing, the work of heroes for five days 'and "five nights, but y ester- day-they reached the -limit of human endurance. i . :"Jn the casemate of the forts one saw everywhere faces black with star vation," exhaustion and nerve ' strain, You spoke to them, but they did not give answer, "only staring dumbly." "The lack of ammunition alone would have : suggested the seeking of terms. Scant ammunition had long been common' in the fortress, and "dur ing the past month many of the forts had nothing with which to return the fire of the enemy. ; ? v v -: ' :"The Russians saFin the casemates, firing -not more than once to the two hundred shots" sent; by ' the Japanese. When; the assault came they repulsed the enemy with ' bayonets. But the men themselves - having existed, for three months- on reduced rations, were so1 worn 'that it is marvelous they stood the I final strain so long. ; "Yesterday General Stoessel would still fight - His wound which was re ceived early in the siege,- had been bothering him, but his determination to fight while one man Btood had not been diminished. ' ".'Buf we cannot fight,' said his gen erals. Our men cannot move. They sleep standing. They cannot see the bayonets at their breasts. We can order, but they cannot obey.' V'Then ybu generals fight,' said Stoessel.. clinched his fists. r "He seemed fanatical oh the sub ject, 'but fipdlly he was brought to see reason by the insistence of his subor dinates. Admirals Lochinsky and Wiren, Generals Smirnoff and Fock. fend many others, sometimes with broken voices, urged the step which all dreaded so long. "The greatest loss suffered by Port Arthur occurred a fortnight ago, when Major General Krondratenko . was kmed. Officers and men alike re garded him as the brightest; star in Port Arthur's firmament. When his death became known, the fall in the spirits of the soldiers was plainly vis ible. General Kondratenko was seated in. the casemate of a certain fort dis cusing with seven other officers the best 'way of countermining against the Japanese, when an eleven-inch shell burst, killing everybodv in the casemate., "General Nbgi has taken Port Arthur wiin nis artmery an.d his tunnels. His rifle 'bullets were seldom found to be of any use. "We who ame here Monday do not xnow xne terms orf(Surrenaer sugest ed by General Stoessfel to General Nogi nor the answer: having left Port Ar thur even before the .messenger had been dispatched. The general impres sion, no weyer, is that Stoessel has proposed that the army shall go free and that he alone be made a prisoner. "it is a simple story. Had the am munition held out the fortress would have held ouj indefinitely. For months we held Port Arthur bv bavonets alone, until flesh and blood could 'do no more. When a man fell there was none other to replace him. Thus the garrison was gradually worn down. Two hundred and Three-Meter Hill alone cost us 'five thousand men. aThe capture of that hill -was the beginning of the end." TEXT OF THE AGREEMENT Toki Tokio Wildly Joyous. okio, By. Cable. Tokio is wildly joyous over Gen. Nogi's teelgram an nouncing that Gen, Stoessel had sent a letter relating to the surrender of Port Arthur. News ' boys crying ex tras were the center of large crowds. The people grabbed the papers and re peated the cries. Thus was the news carried throughout the city,' and with in a few minutes the firing of aerial and daylight rockets began in various parts of the city. Bands appeared and i a score of small processions formed and surged through the principal streets. Japan has paid a heavy price for the Russian fortress. The pros pect of its early posession cheered the people as no other event of the war has done.

Washington, i SpeciaL Director of the Census North, in a letter, to Repre- seniauve JOUneBUii, uioue jiuwn;, ua.M.i;a notice of the situation presented by the cotton statistics given out for publica tion Thursday, and expresses his ; sur nrisai TiflfTiprn at theTeceirt alleged movement in the Southern States "ap parently L approved and t augmented by the cotton .growers- themselves," to de- . stroy the census reports by concerted refusal, of the ginners to make returns. Director North asserts that a continu ance of the cotton ginning reports is impossible without the systematic and . Whole-hearted co-operation of the gin-, ners of the South. Immediately, after the receipt of the letter,' Mr. Burleson, a member of the House census-ieominit-tee, and the author, of the provision, making appropriation for the gathering of cotton statistics, gave out" an" inter view in which he upholds the director in the work, now being done by his bureau. The letter is as follows: "Washington, Dec 1904. "Hon. Albert S. Burleson, House of Representatives. ;-V ' "My Dear Sir: It seems proper.' t invite your attention to certain anom alous conditions which confront - the Census Office in carrying out the pro visions of section 9 of the act to es tablish a permanent Census Offices di recting the periodical collection of ; the statistics of cotton, productibn through the agency of the ginners. This pro visioi was inserted in the law at your urgent request ' and ' that of other. Southern Representatives on the ea that it was necessary for the - pf oteo tion of the cotton producers against the speculators -and others interested in depressing the price of thev staple for their own profit It was stated that enormous losses resulted fronv the untrustworthy estimates -' put forth every year by speculators and agents of the Liverpool market and that early and trustworthy official information regarding the. size of the crop 'would protect the grower,' disarm the specu lator and market manipulator!, and per mit the law of; supply a4d demand to regulate the price. s ACCURACY UNQUESTIONED, i "Since the law was passed.

"The ginning reports of the Census Office have crowded out the specula five and interested estimates referred to, and the single object which the Southern Representatives had in view in urging this legislation has been successfully accomplished.

Thus far the move-f ment has not seriously affected ourj work, but if it continues and spreads,' it will necessarily , destroy its value during the coming year. . It appears to have . been suddenly discovered that ' these reports, undertaken solely at the demand of the cotton grower,! are highly detrimental to his interests. Mr. E. F.
