Washington, Nov. 23. Secretary of
I State (iresham. in behalf of the 1'nited
States, and Minister Kurino, of Japan,
in behalf of his country, have affixed
their signatures to a new treaty of amity
and commerce between this country and
Japan. The final formalities in the ex
ecution of the instrument occurred at the
state department yesterday after the
close of oftice hours, and the fact that it
now awaited only the ratification of the
two governments was announced yester
day. Secretary Gresham will now
transmit the new treaty to the Unitd
Stutes senate as soon as it convenes, and
Mr. Kurino will forward it to the Jap
anese foreign office to be approved by
the emperor of Japan and the privy
council. Coming at the present time,
the signing of the treaty is considered
significant beyond its actual terms, as
it establishes cordiality lietween the
countries. When the foreign pow ers are
endeavoring to show that Japan's rejec
tion of the fieace mediation was a snub
to the United States, the signing of the
treaty concludes a labor w hich has been
in progress 15 years, and it was w ith the
special view of closing the long negotia
tions that Kurino was taken from au
! important post in the Japanese foreign
j office and sent to Washington. The
1 event also will cause much comment in
j Great Britain, France, Sw itzerland and
j other foreign countries, as the nction of
I the Vnited States affects similar treaties
! abroad. That with Great Britain is
closed, and the ones with France and
! Switzerland are largely dependent upon
I the close of the American negotiations.

Washinoton, Not. 24. The bids for j
the $."0,0(iC,(KK) bond issue recently of
fered by Secretary Carlisle were opened j
at the treasury department a little be
lore 1 o'clock today. At 4 oY'xk it was ,
stated at the department that a hurried
calculation showed the total numlier of!
bids was fC, aggregating f 154,370.!J0.
The largest bids were those by the syn
dicate of the Cnited States Trust Com
pany, Drexel, Morgan & Co. and others,
at 117,077 for the w hole amount or none,
and $."0,0O0,0O0 at 1 1",,K'.S, for all or a
portion. The first of these was the bei-t
bid offered, as the aggregate on the
bonds above this figure were about $10,
3'.'4,10, leaving about $3'i,07',So0 at a
less figure. It, therefore, seems ijuite
probable that the syndicate bid will be
accepted, although Secretary Carlisle
stated that he could not express an opin
ion as to the result until next Monday,
w hen the aw ards will lie made. Accord
ing to the terms of this bid the govern
ment will pa; 2.S78 per cent interest on
the $-0,000,ih.k., as against 3 jrcent tar
ried by the first issue. There is a possi
bility that a close calculation w ill dis
close the fact that there is a sufficient
number of bids at a better rate than this,
which, with the second syndicate bid at
fllC.H!, or 2.8'J9 per cent, may make a
combination slightly more advantageous
to the government than the other.-al-though
this is very improbable. Alto
gether the result of the bids is eminently
satisfactory to the treasury officials, as it
shows that not only was there a brisk
rivalry lor the bonds, but the rate of in
terest demanded was even lower than
was generally expected. j
The call for these bids w as made by
circular from the treasury department,
November 13, last, and was for a new
bond issue of 50,000,000 United States 5
per cent bonds to bear the date of Nov
ember 1, IH'Ji, and redeemable in coin
at the pleasure of the government after
10 years after the date of issue. This
action of the secretary is taken under
authority contained in the act of congress
approved January 14, 1875, entitled:
"An act to provide for the resumption
of secie payments."

Yokohama, Nov. 24. A dispatch from
Tort Arthur says that the second army
formed the light wing and Kumanoto's
brigade the left w ing w bile advancing,
and that heavy guns in the center
opened fire on the citadel. The second
army captured the principal western
fort at 8 o'clock in the morning, enter
ing Port Arthur at 2 o'clock in the after
noon, and had captured the Wogonsan
fort by 4 o'clock. Kumanoto's brigade
meanw hile engaged the eastern forts, all
of which were taken before 11 o'clock in
the evening. The coast forts had not
then been subdued, but they fell the
next morning. The fighting was des
perate throughout the engagement. It
is reported that the Chinese army was
virtually destroyed, the killed and
wounded numbering many thousands.
The Japanese loss was heavy, but far
less than that of the Chinese.
Tokki, Nov. 24. General Uyaiua, in
command of the Japanese forces, has
officially reported from Port Arthur, un
der date of November 2L'd, that Novem
ber 21st the Japanese lorce attacked the
forts near that place. The right di
vision of the army stormed and cap
tured the fort to the westward, with its
artillery and parade ground, at 8 :30 in
the morning, and then advanced in the
dirtction of I'ort Arthur, storming and
capturing the Kokinsau fort en route.
In the meantime, the left division
stormed and captuied the fort to the
southeast. On the 22d all the other
forts were captured. The enemy fought
bravely throughout. The Japanese loss,
in killed and wonnded, will not exceed
200, while the number of Chinese killed
and wounded and taken prisoners is as
yet unknown. The Japanese captured
a great quantity of ammunition and
other materials, as well as many can
nons. The Chinese forces numbered
over 20,000.
Th. .wa at Waahlsgton.
Washington, Nov. 24. Confirmation
of the report of the capture of Port Ar
thur came almost simultaneously to the
state and navy departments ; to the for
mer from United States minister Ienby
at Peking, and to the latter from Ad
miral Carpenter, on board the United
States cruiser Baltimore, at Che Foo,
the admiral at the same time notifying
the navy department that the Balti
more was about to Bail for Port Arthur,
where she doubtless has arrived by this
time,
It cannot be said that the fall of Port
Artuur was unexpected at the state de
partment, although the official supposed
that it would withstand a protracted
siege, particularly in view of the fact
that the Japanese, as known, had no
heavy siege guns and were obliged to
rely on light artillery. It is the opinion
of military experts that the Japanese
attack on Port Arthur was a most peril
ous venture on their part. They could
not afford to sustain any considerable
defeat, for the result would have been,
in the first 0iuce, to determine the Chi
nese to pursue the war, and in the
second place, to retard the Japanese
government in its efforts to float a new
war loan. But, by the victory at Port
Arthur, the success of the latter is now
assured.
As to the effect of this last campaign
of the war, there is but one opinion
here, and that is that the restoration of
peace is almost certain. It is true that
China still possesses the splendid fortifi
cation at Wei-Hai-Wei, said to be as
strong or even stronger than Port Ar
thur, and that the shore defenses there
are strengthened by the presence of the
Chinese fleet. But, with Port Arthur
as a base, the Japanese have practical
control ol the gull of Pe-Chi-Li and the
ability to effectually seal up the vater
approaches to Tien-Tain and Peking,
without being under the necessity ol at
tacking the formidable Taku forts.
Moreover, with the Chines fleet practi
ally bottled up at Wei-Hai-Wei, thw
Japanese are in a position to reach a
portion of their own navy to attack
other Chinese cities and work enormous
damage. So it would seem to lie mad-ne.-s
for the Chinese to persist in the
war, realizing that for every day of the
tlelay they must add to the great in
demnity which they will be obliged to
pay to Jujin.and it is believed that
soon the Chinese will sue for peace,
through the mediation directly or imli
rect I v of Ihe United State.
I In Shanghai.
I 1,on'mn, Nov. 2-5. A Shanghai dis
patch tavs thofallof Port Arthur lias
created great excitement in Shanghai.
i All accounts agree the Chinese fought
gallantly. Some officers and men were
! cut down at their post by the Japanese,
i The Star publishes a dispatch saying
j the Japanese torpedo boats engaged at
1 tention of the fort while the troops
' closed around the forts at the rear.
1 Then the torpedo boats made con
! netted dash and succeeded in getting in
I side the harbor. The Japanese artillery
kept up a continuous fire upon the
! the Chinese forts. After the first on
, slaught by the Japanese the resistance
of the Chinese is said to have been
leeble, and finally the Chinese troops lie
came panic stricken and fled.
The Globe's Shanghai dispatch says
China has sent a special agent to Japan
with instructions to accept any terms of
peace except the cession of any portion
of China proper to Japan.
It is stated that the Japanese secured
at Port Arthur 10,000 tons ol coal and
3,000.000 taels' worth ol ammunition.
It is believed that the Japanese com
niamiers intend to seize forthwith the
railway between Shan-Hai-Kwan and
Tien-Tain, lest the Chineee deetroy it.

Berlin, Nov. 26. It is officially an
nounced that Japan recognizes United
States Minister Dun, at Tokio, as a suit
able channel through which China can
open up negotiations for pi ace. The
powers will simply remain spectators.
It is considered that China is in a posi
tion to pay the Japanese demands if the
war ceases now, Japan to hold Port
Arthur until the demands are satisfied.
The third Japanese expedition, which is
afloat, is opposite Wei-Hai-Wei.
Newspapers Varrea In Turkey.
Constantinople, Nov. 2G. A recent
edict calling for the seizure at the fron
tier of foreign newspapers containing ac
counts of the Armenian massacres, pro-
j hibits the entry of every American news
j paper into Turkey. This action on the
part ol the Turkish government is sup
posed to be due to the attitude assumed
by the American press on the Armenian
question.

Sr. Petersburg, Nov. 20. Before 7
o'clock this morning large crowds were
assembling in the Newsky prospect to
secure places along the route of the royal
wedding procession. From Anitckoff
palace to the winter palace the avenue
was lined with troops. '1'here was not
an inch to spare along the grand Mars-
kaija prospect, and on the square in
front of the winter palace. Atll:l" a.
m. ia the distance were heard the strains
of the national anthem, and the multi
tude uncovered in anticipation ol the
approach ol the bridal party. Soon after
they appeared in an open state carriage
drawn by lour white horses. In this
vehicle were the car and his brother,
Grand Duke Michael. They both wore
uniforms of the Hu.zara ol the guard,
and were greeted with a vociferous burst
ol cheering, which was renewed again
and again. The czar's equipage
was preceeded and followed by a
detachment of chevaliers and guards, all
in brilliant gala uniforms. Then came
a superb landeau, also drawn by tour
while horses, in which was Princess
Alix and the czarina. They received, if
possible, even a more hearty popular
greeting than the c.ar himself. Hand
kerchiefs and hats were waved in the
air and the most intense enthusiasm
prevailed. Alter the carriage ol the
princess, and czarina followed a long
train ol carriages with the royal guests,
including the Prince and Princess ol
Wales, Princess Irene of Prussia, Grand
Duchess Sergius and other prominent
members of the imperial families, as
well as the wedding guests. Military
bands were stationed at various points
along the route, and each struck up the
national anthem as the cortege appeared.
The national hymn sounded in the ears
of the Imperial party along the entire
route. The wedding procession entered
the winter palace at 11 :15 a. m., where
as soon as possible afterwards were as
sembled all those invited to the wedding.
Along the prospects there was a magni
ficent scene, thousands of cavalry and
infantry lining the roadways, aud be
hind the troops were immovable multi
tudes of spectators, all waiting patiently
for a view of the procession on its return
from the winter palace, where the im
perial party will alight and enter the
cathedral of Kazan, where the protec
tion of the Almighty will be invoked
upon the new czar and czarina. The
ordinary theatres today received per
mission to recommence their perform
ances. According to current reports the czar
has caused consternation among the of
ficers of his household by leaving the
palace unattended, and walking through
the streets in a military mantle, arm-in-arm
with the first officer w ho recognized
him. Saturday the czar went for a walk
with Princess Alix, entered a glove store
and made several purchases. On leav
ing he was recognized by the people and
loudly cheered. His majesty has olso
received the ministers very graciously.
When M. De (iiers, minister of foreign
affairs, tendered his resignation, he said
he hoped they would work together for
a long time yet. lo this De (iiers re
plied : "But, your majesty, look ut my
feet: they cannot carry me." Where
upon the czar replied : "I do itt want
your feet ; I only want your head."
On the return to the Anitchkoff palace
after the wedding ceremony the czar
and czarina were greeted with tremen
dous enthusiasm by the Immense crowds
all along the route, The czar and czar

AC&OWTELY PURE
II Id Accepted hjr Herrelary Carlisle.
Washington, Nov. !!'. Secretary Car
lisle hat decided to accept the Stewart
syndicate bid for the entire issue of o0,
000,000 bonds. The figure offered by
the syndicate was 117.077. The follow
ing official statement was made at the
treasury: The secretary of the treasury
has accepted the proposal of John A.
Stewart, president of the United States
Trust Company, and his associates, to
purchase the entire issue ol the a per
cent bonds, amounting to $.0,000,000, at
f 117,077 and accrued interest Irom No
vember 1st. The proceeds of the bonds
under this bid will be $40,517.62 greater
than they would be il the other highest
bids were accepted. A very important
advantage to the government in accept
ing this bid is the fact that all the gold
will be furnished from the outside, and
none drawn from the treasury. It is also
more convenient and less expensive to
the department to deal with one party
than with manv."
Three More Witnesses Testify.
Wooiu.Axi), Cal., Nov. 26. Among the
witnesses examined in the Hatch trial
this morning were J. T. Bryant, boiler
maker; George Averill, machinist, and
G. A. Kneblaugb, mechanic, none of
whom gave testimony at the preliminary
examination o' the Wonlen trial. These
witnesses testified they were sent to the
trestle ostensibly to guard railroad prop
erty. One went under orders from
Harry Knox, and the other two under
orders from the A. R. U. When they
learned that a train was to be derailed,
Averille wanted to flag it, but was told
that if he did so he would be shot.
When the explosion occurred these three
witnesses became frigiitened and ran
away, hiding in the tules. They after
wards crossed to Sacramento in a boat.
Attempt to Swindle a Hank.
San Fkancisco, Nov. 20. An unsuc

telephoned the alleged mdorserg, and
they disclaimed any knowledge ol the

up the police, who arrested the sender ol
the check in the Btret. The lorger waa

resistance, but was finally handcuffed
and taken to prison. The police refuse

Maasacre of the Armenians.
London, Nov. 20. A Constantinople
dispatch says the sending of a commis

Armenians will have the ell'ect of letting
the local officials know that foreign en-

report of the commission when published
is not likely to have any value. The
mufti of Moosh has been decorated, al
though he is one of the officials impli
