Nov. 10(10:-A. it) It Is re ported that General Stocssel, commanding Port -Arthur, has asked the Japanese for an Armistice, the-purpose of which is not stated. A confirmation of the report is unobtainable. It Is hoped here that Gen eral Stpessel will capitulate before the xlty proper is taken. The Japanese soldiers are angry and In flamed on account of the alleged abuse of the -wounded, .by the Russians. They be lieve they will be murdered If captured. Under these conditions, It will possibly be difficult to avoid a massacre when the troops meet In the final combat. BOTH SIDES SUFFER HEAVILY Dead at Port Arthur Cannot Be Burled, for Several Days. CHEFOO, Nov. 9. The Japanese con tinue to bombard Port Arthur, and the shells' are falling so Incessantly that the Russians have practically abandoned the repair of the works protecting the harbor. .Citizen volunteers and the police, are now reinforcing the garrisons of the forts, ac cording to .the stories of Chinese arriving here, 60 of whom left Pprt Arthur on No vember 7, owing to the high price of food. So many men were killed on both sides during the last assault that many bodies lay unburied for days, "and in some in stances dogs which had been driven from the town, assuaged their hunger by eating the dead. In a few cases where this was seen, the horror-stricken Russian sharp shooters killed the dogs. Some months ago the Russian authorities ordered that all dogs seen on the streets should be shot, with the result that half famished -creatures have been roaming the hills, becoming savage. The Chinese say that the forts on Golden Hill have done practically no firing for months past, and it is believed that their ammunition has run short. The demolition of the Chinese new town Is. '.almost completed, a thousand nouses having been destroyed lor the valuable firewood they contained. The town Is constantly catching on fire and the majority of the warehouses and stores belonging to foreigners have been burned to the ground. . RATIONS RUNNING LOW. Russians Subsist on Less. Than Two Pounds of Black Bread Per Day. XONDON. Nov. 10. Special dispatches from Port Arthur and Chefoo. which are printed In this morning's papers, add little to the recent news of the besieging opera tions at Port Arthur, but give terrible de scriptions of the conditions of the be sieged. The Daily Mall's correspondent before Port Arthur described the Russian killed and those taken prisoners as greatly emaciated and asserts that the men sub sist entirely- on a dally ration -of leas than two pounds of black bread. The Dally Telegraph's Chefoo corre spondent declares that the task of bury ing the bodies of the slain at Port Ar thur is now beyond control and that the corpses are simply pitched into the dock excavations near Golden Hill, where there is only a few feet of water. The condition of the helpless women Is heartrending. Several groups of them going to market have been blown to pieces. The street scenes there are said to be .sickening. Benne.tt Burleigh also sends a har rowing picture of the condition of the wounded In Port Arthur, of whom vast numbers are lying unattended within the inner forts. In the name of common humanity, he thinks, some effort should be made in behalf of the helpless suf- icrers ana. suggests mat as soon as possible they should be taken upon neutral ships flying the Red Cross and transferred to hospitals at Chefoo and Shanghai.

Stevens In World's Work. It Is not easy to form an accurate esti mate, from a prosaic Western standpoint, of the reasons for the romantic domina tion of that personality In Japanese af fairs today, however patent may be the effects of the Influence it has exercised upon the progress of Japan in the past. One difficulty, and not the least, arises from the fact that. In Japan, there Is no exploitation or advertisement of the Sov ereign's personality along the lines which the modem newspaper has made familiar even, in the most conservative Western communities. But gossip concerning their ruier, even that seemingly harmless gossip about personal tastes, habits, and the like, which apparently affords pleasure to the loyal subjects of other monarchs, Is tabu In Japan. This la not the result of law restricting liberty of speech, but of a maat&l attltuta etwees ta all c1mm. plainly Indicative of repugnance to the familiar discussion of a personality which Is to them, in fact as well as in theory, the fountainhead. of all that has made the nation great and prosperous. To sagacity of this high order is united a capacity for hard work, and the habit of devoting close personal attention to public business. As one Japanese writer says. "His Majesty makes his appearance In his place of official business at 8:00 A. H-, ready to attend, to affairs of state, and be will sometimes continue at work till midnight." His Ministers always have ready access to his presence at all hours, and I have the highest authority for the statement that the attention he gives to important matters Is of no perfunctory nature, but that, on the contrary, the Imperial sanction of any measure implies a careful exaxntaatlon of the details as well as of the principles Involved. The Emperor has always manifested deep Interest la military affairs. In times of peace, he shows this by participation la military reviews and m&Mevers. and in the graduation ceremonies of military and naval coUsges, and by Ms IndefarJga h) persoaal eeoeera , ail tiiees ia. the success of the policy which has brought Japan's military and naval establishments to their present efficiency. What They Drink. New York Sun. Brandy Is mostly a French or Cali fornia product, but, with exceptions, It Is Englishmen who drink it in New York brandy and soda being a recog nised English drink, most popular with tourists. If it were not for New Ens landers, there would be little call for rum, except by West Indians and sail ors. Bum New Englandcrs, when they drink, drink Medford when visiting New York; others drink St. Croix. In hotels or saloons near a. railroad or ferry there Is a demand for cider. It is the drink of the "York State" folks when In town. New York elder de serves its high reputation and its pop ularity among up-state, visitors, and has withstood the competition of faacy drinks, beer and highballs. In the few neighborhoods where Hollanders or Swiss resident are numerous thr is call for gin; "Rhine, wins," either from J&iftela&d, CWa .or XlMowle k a ariak of Germans. Irish visitors are the chref patrons of old and new ale (mixed ale), the divider and disturber of many an otherwise friendly and. neighborly party of the well disposed. The popu larity of highballs has superseded much of the demand for brandy and mixed drinks in New York. Vermouth has largely superseded brandy as an appe tiser. The tradition which ascribes to Southerners and to Virginians a mo nbpoly of mint juleps is a tradition, and nothing else. Martial strangers from Tennessee and Kentucky retain, their preference for corn whisky. Hun gariaas drink sllvovitz, and tEe few Mexicans hereabouts disregard their own national drink, pulque, for some-' thing or anything more distinctively Amerleaa. Perceptibly the amount of liquor im bibed la New York City declines, but reeeat disclosures do not Indicate that as the qwaatlty consumed declines the quality Improves. Czar and Kaiser May Soen Meet.
