The French steamship 'Australian arrived here at 8 o'clock this evening, carrying among her other pas sengers General Stoessel, Beven Generals, two Admirals, 13G other officers and 143 artillery soldiers, formerly of the Port Arthur garrison. Mme. Stoessel brings with her six orphans whom she has adopt ed, sons of officers who fell at Port Ar thur.

They said it was a sad thing to return vanquished, but they were conscious of bavins: done their entire duty in holding the fortress as long as they did. Only for Four Days More. They could not have held Port Arthur pt tho most for four da?s longer. The munition and food supplies had been al most completely exhausted. There re mained only COOO loaded shells and 2,000,000 cartridges, which were powerless against the 11-inch guns which rained their lire upon the Russian front, 25 kilometers long. "In the garrison," said General Stocs eol, "there were 30,000 men, of whom 18,000 were in tho hospital and 4030 were non combatants. Of the remaining 8000, SOW were afflicted with scurvy and were obliged to fight down in the trenches. "For several months," said General Btoessel, "the troops received 200 grammes ef horse meat apiece each week. All the food was prepared with machine ouO "After September, the only ships which pucceeded In running the blockade were the steamer King Arthur, commanded by a French captain, and three junks. All brought flour. Last Hope of Relief Fades. "The last news we received from the outsldo world was on September 20, when a telegram from General Kuropatkin said ihe would come to relieve us in three months. The three months having passed and no news of the fleet under Vice-Admiral Rojestvcnsky having been received, the situation became desperate. The gar rison being exhausted and the fleet, whose preservation had been the principal rea son for resistance, having been destroyed after the capture of a high mountain (203 Meter Hill). I considered that further pro longation of the struggle would Inevitably lead to frightful carnage." General Stoessel added that he decided on tho capitulation on his own authority and without consulting any one. He con cluded by saying: Clear Conscience Above Fame. "The Czar and my peers will judge whether I should have prolonged the siego or by a heroic but criminal act have blown up the fortress. I prefor a less trreat name in military annals to having 20,000 lives on my conscience." Alexieff Most to Blame. A number of other officers whom I inter viewed did not share this moral satisfac tion of General Stoessel. They expressed violent resentment toward Admiral Prince Ukhtomsky for his disastrous handling of the fleet, against several incapable Gen erals, and above all against ex-Viceroy Alexieff. The last-named, they declare, had fore seen nothing and prepared nothing. Tt was necessary to reconstruct the greater part of the fortifications -under deplorable conditions and under the Arc of the enemy. Kondratenko the Hero. The officers declared that General Stoes sel' was a brave man, but not a genius. J General Kondratenko, they said, was the real soul of the defense, and was adored by his men. When he died, Port Arthur died with him. Smyrnoff and several other Generals. In splto of the Czar's permission, preferred captivity to a shameful return. In spite of tho sympathy of the passon pers and tho warm ovations they re ceived at Saigon, Indo-China, the Rus- lan officers on the Australian arc all mel-jL ancboly. When thoy wcro asked If they were glad to return, to their fatherland, they replied: "No," and added sadly that If General Kondratenko had been in command at Port Arthur, they would not have been here. The Russians -will leave the Australian at Port Said. One officer, -who Is HI, dis embarked here. BOTH SIDES MAKING FORTS Armies Labor Constantly in Villages, and Snipe at One Another. HEADQUARTERS OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY, Huanshan. February 10. At pres ent the attention of the Japanese Is main ly concentrated on the narrow line east and west of the railway, where also pass the two main roads to Mukden. The armies are closely in touch all allng the lino of Sandiapu, Paohsingtun, Chen lianpu, Liuchangtun and Shakhe. The region is entirely deserted by na tives, but their stone houses and stout walls have been turned into veritable fortresses. The declivities have been Iced and the ascent would be almost Impos sible, even without obstructions and abattis. The approaches to the streets of the villages can be swept by machine guns hidden behind the thick walls. Notwithstanding the number of these quasl-fortresses. the Japanese are not slackening their energy in entrenching, but persist in the work in the day time and in the face of the Russian batteries, and at night the loud noise of the rum bling of carts gives evidence of their un tiring labors. The Russians are equally persistent, and, beside harassing the Jap anese working parties with rifle and can non Are, themselves are fortifying and re fortifying. The Japanese continue to scatter procla mations in tho Russian lines and these papers are openly distributed by Chinese in the 6treets of Mukden. FLEET STILL HUGS THE PORT Rojestvcnsky Quarrels With German Colliers, and His Men Are Mournful. PORT LUIS, Mauritius, Feb. 10. Arriv als trom Nosslbe (off the coast of Mada gascar) report that tho Russian second Pacific equadron was still there on Febru ary 2. A dispute had arisen between Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky and the Ger man companies which are coaling the fleet. The Admiral, who is well supplied with coal wishes the colliers to follow the fleet, "but they refuse to do so on account of the too close proximity, of the Japanese squadron. The Russian ehips will not leave Nos slbe before February 28. They are getting little news from St, Petersburg, and the crews are dispirited owing to the fall of Port Arthur.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Feb. 10. Negotiations are well undor way for the purchase of the prop erty and vested rights of the Klamath Ditch Company, In Klamath County. Orr fon.' II satisfactory terms of 'sale' are agreed upon and the Government buys out this company, as seems probabie, the P.eclamatTon Service will be ready to proceed with the construction of Its pro posed Irrigation project, all other ob stacles having been removed. President Hawkins, of the Klamath Company has had numerous conferences RETURNING with officials of the Reclamation Service and has made what ho deems a reasonable offer to sell out- to the Government, -on condition that the Government will give him exclusive .right to navigate in it canals, and will pay him $230,000 for the works he has already constructed and in compensation for losses he will sustain by being deprived of his vested rights. He originally demanded $300,000. Tho Reclamation Service insists that the property of the Klamath Canal Com pany and tho work actually done Is not worth more than $50,000, but admits that the company is entitled to a margin on account of the losses It will sustain by stepping aside In the interest of the Government. These officials - finally con sented to pay Mr. Hawkins and his com pany $150,000 If they will sell out. This is as close as they can get, but both parties havo agreed to submit the matter to a board of arbitration, consisting of Senators Fulton and Bard and Represent ative Needham, and to abide by whatever terms tho board may deem just and equitable, It being assured in advance that the price to be paid shall be between $150,000 and $230,000, with.. the further stipu lation that the Klamath Canal Company shall havo the exclusive navigation rights on the Government canal. It Is believed that in a short time the board will agree upon the terms of sale, which both the Government and Hawkins are pledged to. accept. WILL FIGHT HENRY L. WILSON Ankeny, Foster and Piles All Oppose His Promotion. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Feb. 10. Notwithstanding- that the President has announced his intention to appoint Henry L. "Wilson, of Seattle, Min ister to Brussels, "Wilson appears to be some way from being confirmed. Senator Foster and Senator Ankeny havo both Indicated their Intention to defeat his nomination, if it is sent in before March A, and from recent telegraphic advices from Seattle it Is lcdbied that Senator Piles expects to co-operato with Ankeny after that date to prevent Wilson's con firmation. Wilson Is now Minister to Chile, and his record there is highly satisfactory to Secretary Hay and the President. His transfer to Brussels is in tho nature of a deserved promotion, and is made with out any political influence or significance. In view of this fact, the Washington Sen ators, If they oppose Wilson, will array themselves against the administration, and will In the end fail in their attempts. New Oregon Rural Carriers.'

COMMANDER OF A CAPTURED FORTRESS GEN'KItAL ANATOLI M. 6TOESSEL. YIELDS NO POINT House Caucus Decides on Statehood. STANDS BY ITS BILL Republicans Will Fight Amend ments of Senate. BRING -OBJECTORS INTO LINE Decision of Former Caucus Sustained, and All Members of Party Are Bound by It, Though Some Are Very Restive. WASHINGTON. Feb. 10. Statehood for Oklahoma and New Mexico will not be granted during tills session of Congress, unless It be on the lines provided In the House statehood bill. This was decided today at a conference of Republican mem bers of the House. The following resolution setting forth this position was adopted, 112 to 33, after three hours of debate; Resolved. That it is the sense of this confer ence that the caucus decision of Republicans, held April 15, touching: the statehood or New Mexico and Arizona, as provided in the bill of the, House, which lias been amended In the Senate and is now pending in the House com mittee on territories, be Insisted upon, and that we insist on such parliamentary proceedings as can be had by a majority of the House, or such a special order as can be ordered and adopted by a majority of the House, under which the aforesaid policy of the Republicans of the House will be worked out. Cannon Carried His Point. Speaker Cannon is the author of this resolution. When the conference con vened three proposals were laid before It, none of which was adopted. The first was a resolution offered by Dalzell. re citing the history of tho statehood legis lation in the House and reaffirming the caucus action taken at that time. An other was a resolution by Sibley of Penn sylvania, providing that the statehood bill be made the subject of .conference, be tween the two houses. The third wa3 an amendment to the resolution offered by Tawne recommending that In such con feronce the House conferees be instructed to insist on the House provisions of the hill. Delegate Rodey, of New Mexico, made a strong appeal for concurrence In the Senate bill. However, he did not make any motion to this end. Other speeches were made by Representatives Dalzell (Pa.). Hamilton (Mich.), chairman of the committee on territories, and Powers (Me.). Delegate McGulre, of Oklahoma, pleaded for action whereby at least Okla homa and Indian Territory might be ad mitted. Speaker Cannon occupied the floor at length on two different occasions. Other speakers were Representatives Hepburn, Tawney, Burkett, Needham, Brick and Gaines. The debate was keyed to a high pitch at all times. The ground was taken by thoso who favored the House provisions or nothing that the Republicans of the bod" would be sacrificing their position taken heretofore to a few Republican Senators who had seen lit to unite with the minority of the Senate. If the bill as amended was accepted. Bound by- Previous Caucus. A definition of what Is regarded as the binding feature of a caucus was made to those Republican members who have in dicated an intention to vote with the Democrats, should opportunity arise for the acceptance of the Senate bill. This definition was that, unless a member give3 notice in caucus that lie will not be bound by the action taken, he must hold himself bound thereby. At the Repub lican caucus on April 13. when the House bill was agreed to as the measure to be supported, there was no member who in dicated his unwillingness to be bound by tlie caucus. This binding feature of the caucus, it was declared, was in force throughout the Congress in which the caucus occurred, and the statement was made that no Republican member of the House can now feel himself free to sup port the Senate statehood proposition. There is some talk among House mem bers that the Senate might accept the House bill and negotiations with this end In view have been in progress. To niake it impossible for the House committee to take any action until some understanding has been reached, the committee at Its last meeting adjourned to meet at tlie call of the chairman, and no meeting will bo held until a call shall have been issued. SENATE PLAYS FOR MORE TIME Elkins Tells Roosevelt It Can't Pass Rate Bill This Session. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. (Special.) Senator Elkins, chairman of the committee on interstate commerce, called upon President Roosevelt this afternoon and informed him that the Senate could not at this session of Congrress give him the railroad legisla tion desired. He discussed the situation in all its phases and suggested to the President the possibility of hi3 commit tee not making: much greater headway than to continue Its hearings and later report! the resolution offered by Kean (N. J.)' providing- for a Congressional investigation of the subject during- the recess. Tho Esch-Townsend rate bill, which passed the House yesterday, was re ceived by the Senate before adjourn ment this evening, and immediately re ferred to. Elkins committee, which will hold a special meeting- tomorrow for its consideration. It is understood that at today's meeting- of tlie committee an in formal poll disclosed ten members op posed to action at this time to three in favor of it- Tho President has not changed his belief -that the Senate should pass tne f Esch-Townsend bill at this session. LEAVES IT ALL TO PRESIDENT House Considers Panama Canal Bill and Passes Pension Bills. WASHINGTON. Feb. 10. After main taining its record for the rapid disposal of private pension bills, 433 being passed in an hour and a half, tho House today con sidered for a short time the bill providing a government for the Panama Canal Zone. An early adjournment was taken to enable the Republicans to confer on the statehood bill. The House passed a bill to provide for a land district in Wasatch and Uintah Counties. Utah. The bill providing for the government of the Panama Canal Zone, which among other things abolishes the Panama Canal Commission, was then considered. In ex plaining the measure. Mann (III.) said that It was not intended as a reflection on the present commission, but that it was nec essary to separate the engineering prob lems from the administrative problems in constructing the canal. The bill, he said, left the President authority to appoint any of the present commissioners as con sulting engineers. The measure was, still under consideration when the. House .ad journed until tomorrow. NEW TARIFF FOR PHILIPPINES House Committee Favorably Reports Secretary Taft's Bill.' WASHINGTON. Feb. 10.

Details of Alleged Conspiracy. The story of the first Indictment has been told- before and the details are well known. It is alleged that on February 15. 1902. the defendants entered Into a con spiracy to defraud the Government by preventing the use of a portion of the public lands situated in Wheeler County. It is alleged In general that the B.utte Creek Land, Lumber &. Livestock Com pany, through Its employes, acquired the use and benefit of a large portion of the public lands in Wheeler County. It is charged that the employes of the com pany and those secured for the purpose by the company would take up claims scattered alons the line of a large circle through Wheeler County. These claims would then be fenced in. thus- inclosing thousands of acres of Government land in a large pasture, which would then be used by the company in pasturing its Hocks. Many of these claims were fraudulently gained, so it is said, and are now being held unlawfully by the company. The men who filed on them were hired to do so by the company with the understand ing that the xJalms should be deeded to tho corporation as soon as secured by patent from the Government. The claims were so taken that, with the aid of the rlmrock and the streams, forming nat ural barriers across whlch no cattle could pass, fences could be. built from claim to claim, leaving no, point of egress from the land inclosed. After having, fenced up the land, it is, iConcIuded- on' Page 11.) f I I .0 - jra
