London, Not. 24 A dispatch from
Cbee Foo says tbe backbone ot Chinese
resistance has given way and the moun
tain passes tbat ne between tbe great
naval station of Port Artbnr and Peking
now shelter tbe scattered remnants of the
emperor's forces, Word bas just
reached here that Port Arthur tell afltr a
battie that lasted 30 hours. Tbe reports
of tbe fightiag are very meagre, bat it is
believed that both aides suffered heavily.
China's loss, it is said, exceeds tbat of
Japan, for, undisciplined as the em'
perr's soldiers were, tbey longbt with
tbe desperation ot tigers. Tbe attack on
Port Arthur by Japan's second army.

plannedtso tbat nbeo tire was opened ti.e
Japanese troops assailed tbe city at ever?
point. Tbe fighting was terrible, and
was only ended when tbe Chinese, unable
to ftrurgle any longer, withdrew in re
treat to tbe mountain passes near by.
leaving the t-ity at tbe mercy of their foe.
The fail ot fort Arthur clears the way to
Peking for Japan. Wbetber o- not tbat
city will suffer a like fate must depend
upon wnat action inina win take In a
very few days.
Atter China bas asked for peace on tbe
terms of paying ZdU.UUU.GOO laeis, or
$175 000,000 for it. Wub Peking in
peril, no one can estimate what figure
Japan will place upon peace. Toe plans
of tbe Japanese for an advance upon
Peking have succeeded completely. At
Moukden, tbe advance through tbe in-
tenor was so bazardons as to be almost
impossible, Tbe second army was sent
to silence yon Artbnr. and it bas done
so. With tbe great naval station in Ja
pan's bands, and with Japan's victorious
fleet guarding tbat place on the waterside,
China's fleet is powerless. Japan, on tbe
other band, has a clear road around tbe
Liau Tong gulf.
It is not believed bere tbat. Cbina will
cootioue tbe war any longer. Port Ar
tbnr is regarded by all military and
naval critics as tbe keystone of China's
defense, without which she will be at
Japan's mercy .
A Treaty With Japan.
Washikoton, "Nov. 23 Secretary of
State Gresbam, in behalf of the United
States, and Minister Kurino, of Japao, In
behalf of bis country, bave affiled tbeir
signatnres to a new treaty of amity and
commerce between ' this country and
Japan. Tbe final formalities in tbe eirii
cation of the instrument occurred at the
close of office boars, and tbe fact tbat it
now awaited only tbe ratification of tbe
two governments was announced yester
day. Secretary (Jresbam will now trans
mit tbe new treaty to the United States
senate as soon as it convenes, and Mr.
Kurino will forward it to tbe Japanese
foreign office to be approved by tbe em
peror of Japan and the privy council .
Coming at tbe present time, tbe signing
of tbe treaty is considered significant be
yond its actual terms, as it establishes
cordiality between the countries When
tbe foreign powers are endeavoiing to
show tbat Japan's rejection of tbe peace
mediation was a snub . to the United
Stales, tbe signing of tbesteaty concludes
a labor wbicb bas been in progress 15
years, and it was with tbe special view of
closing tbe long negotiations tbat Enrino

The Bida Were Opened.
Washikoton, Nov. 25 The bids for
tue $50,000,000 bond issue recentlv ot-
lerred by Secretary Carlisle were opened
at tbe treasury department a little before
o'clock today. At 4 o'c'ock it was
stated at tbe department tbat a hurried
calculation showed tbe total number of
bids was 293, aggregating $154,370,900.
The largest bids were those by tbe syn
dicate of the Uuited States Trust Company.-
Drexel, Morg-tn & Co. and others,
at 117.077 for the whole amount or none,
and $50,000,000 at 116,898, for all or a
portion. ' The first of these was tbe best
bid offered, as the aggregate no the bonds
above this figure were about $10,324,150,
leaving about $39 675,850 at a less figure.
It, therefore, seems quite probable tbat
the syndicate bid will be aceepted, al
though Secretary Carlisle stated tbat he
could not express an opinion as to the
result until next Monday, when tbe
awards will be made. According to tbe
terms of this bid the government will
pay 2.878 per cent interest on the $50,-
000,000, aa against 3 per cent earned by
tbe first issue. There Is a possibility rbat
close calculation 'will disclose tbe fact
that there la a sufficient number of bids
at a better rate than this, wh eh, with
the second syndicate bid at 1116 898, or
2 899 per cent, may make a combination
slightly more advantageous to tbe gov
ernment tban tbe other, although this 1
very improbable. Altogether the result
of tbe bid is eminently satisfactory to the
treasury officials, as it shows tbat not
only was there a brisk rivalry for tbe
bonds, but the rate of interest demanded
was even lower tban was generally ex
pected. .
Tbe call for these bids was made by
circulars from tbe tteasury department,
November 13, last, and was for a new
bond issue of $50,000,000 United States
S per cent bonds to bear tbe date of No
vember 1, 1894, and redeemable in coin
at tbe pleasure of tbe govermeut after 10
years from tbe date of issne.

Yokohama, Nov, 24 A dispatch from
Port Artbnr says tbat the second army

fire on tbe citadel. The second army
captured tbe principal western fort at 8

thur at 2 o'clock in tbe afternoon, and
had captured the Wogonsan fort by 4

engaged tbe eastern forts, all of wbicb
were taken before 11 o'clock in tbe even
ing. Tbe coast forts nad not then bseo
suLdued, but tbey fell tbe next morning.
Tbe fighting was deSDerate throughout
tbe engagement. It is reported tbat tbe
Chinese army was virtually destroyed,
tbe killed and wounded .mmterinrr many
thousands. Tbe Japanese loss was heavy,
but far less tban tbat of the Chinese.

officially reported from Port Arthur, on
der date of November 22, tbat November

great quantity of ammunition and other
materials, as well as many cannons. The

coast, having gone as far north as Kyokot
sound. The weather during the trip was
too rough to permit much investigation.
and tbe captain bad not beard, before
starting, ot the reports brought by the
steamer Mystery last week. Almost bis
first words on landing were, however, of
the lvanhoe. He said:
I guess there is no further hope for
tbe IcarJioe. She's made another of tbe
long list of vessels battered to pieces on
tbe west coast ol this island. When we
were at Barclay sound, we heard of ber.
Two white miners called last Tuesday at
an Indian's but, near the entrance to tbe
cound, and tbe firat thing tbey noticed in
the place was one of tbe lvanhoe i life
buoys hanging on the wall. There was
no doubt as to tbe identity, for the name
and tbe port were clearly marked. They
waited lor some time for the Indians to
return, so that they mitht question them
regarding the buoy, but all bands were
away fUbiog acd there was do telliog
when tbey would be back.. Tbe men
looked around, but could see no other
sign 8 of wreckage, so tbey came back
and reported what they bad seen to me,
reques'iDg tbat I make known tbe fact on
reacbiog port. As a large number of tbe
Indians along Barclay tound, just now,
bave recently arrived from further up the
coast, it is most likely tbat the Itanhoe't
buoy had been brought down from Kyn
kot or Cape Scott. I bad not beard of
the wreckage here, as reported by the
steamer Mystery $ engineer, but this
would appear to corroborate it aud settle
its identity as tbat of the lvanhoe."

tban tbey would be it tbe other bigbes:

advantage to tbo government in accept

none drawn from tbe treasury. It is also
more convenient and Ites expensive to tbe
department to deal with one part rather
tban with many,"...

A young man named William McLain,
who is of the firm of Atkinson, Ooherty
& McLain loggers, met with a deplorable
accident Saturday last. It seems that
McLain was notching trees for the saw
yers and having completed his task sat
down and yas watching the other men
at their wont. The tree which the saw
yers were working on fell, striking a limb
which changed its course directly towards
the unfortunate victim, and before he
could get out of tbe way, a limb struck
bim on tbe side oi tba head, crushing the
skull, and breaking his jaw bone, killing
bim instantly. The young man was well
liked and honorable in all his dealings
thereby gaining a host of friends and
acquaintances to mourn his death. A cor -oners
inquest was held in the offiVe of
Justice of the Peace Sargent, and the fol
lowing verdict was rendered :
"We the jury impanelled to inquire into
tbe cause ot tbo death ot Wm. McLain,
find on the testimony submitted, that tbe
deceased came to his death by accident,
caused by a falling limb hurled against
him from tbe springing back of a tree set
in motion by the falling tree which the
deceased chopped down, on November
17, 1894. We find his name to be Wm.
McLain, aged about 30 years and unmar
ried. His former residence was. Owen

still resides."

The Kootenai Indians ar rustling for
grub and blankets as they never rustled be
fore. Bad lock at cards is the cause of
their poverty, says the Kootenai Herald.
About a month ago 40 or 50 Calisnet and
Spokane Indians made them a visit for the
supreme purpose of trading and gambling.
Tbey succeeded in doing the Kooteoais up
for nearly everything they had and left about
10 day ago for the return journey. Tbey
succeeded in getting a good supply ef whisky
before they pulled out, and, a they passed
through Elton, they made night hideous in
the extreme with unearthly whoop. On
of them was found by the railroad track
next morning, all cat to piece by a passing
train, tha Indian evidently having had too
ranch whisky aboard to know enough to
get out of the way, -

Astortan.
Early yesterday morning word came op
from the cap that the four-masted ship
Kenimore bad dragged ber anchor and gone
onto tbe sand about 1000 varda east of
Sand Islands. The Escort had already gone
down to the bar, and aa soon aa the news ,
was received of the Kentmort't diffioulty.the
Relief hurried to the scene. It seem that
early in the morning a heavy gale from th
sooth sprung op, and soon the ship began
to drag her anchor. Tha second anohor
was east, but it did not prevent the hugs
vessel from going slowly onto tbe spit.
Both tag soon had hawser to the ship, bat
they were unable to move her from th soft
mod into which she bad become firmly im
bedded. They pulled and hauled until a
hawser (napped, when tbey gave it op, tba
tide having started to ebb. It waa tba
opinion of all who wer on tba spot that the
waa in no immediate danger, and that about
the only thiog left to do was to await calmer
weather wbeo tbe ihtp cod Id be lightened.
During the afternoon the steamer Ilwaeo
landed th Fort Canby life saying crew on
Sand Island, and it was arranged that if at '
any time during the night tba ship should
need a tug, rooket would be fired a a sig
nal. The Point Adam cttw wer over ,
during tbe afternoon, bat returned to tbeir
station before nightfall.
Both Captain McCoy and Captain Howe
of the tugs, say that there is but little dan
ger of the Kenimore sustaining any damage,
unless an unusual gale shoold drift her onto
the bard sands, a thing that is altogether
unlikely.
