Several Men Seriously Injured Dur ing the Game Other Inter esting News. Associated Press. Washington, Nov. 24. By the victory of the Japanese at Port Arthur, the success of the war loan is assured. As to the effect of this last campaign of the war, there is but one opinion 'here, and that Is that Japanese restora tion of peace Is almost certain. It Is true that China still possesses splendid fartlfloaitions at Wei-Hai-Wei, said to be as strong- or even stronger than at Port Arthur, and that there the forti fications are Strengthened by the pres ence of the Japanese fleet. But with Port Arthur as a base, the Japs have practical control of the Gulf of Pe.Chi Li, and It is the Intention to effectually steal up the water approaches to Tien Tsin and Peking without being1 under the necessity of attacking the formid able Taku forts. Morover,. with, the Chinese fleet practically bottled up at Wei Hod Wei, the Japanese are In a position to reach out with a portion of their own navy to attack the other Chinese cities and work enormous dan age. It would seem to be madness for the Chinese to persist In war, realizing that for every day of delay they must add to the great Indemnity which they Willi be obliged to pay to Japan, and It Is believed there, that soon the Chin ese will sue for peace through media tion directly or Indirectly of the United States. THE LATEST ACCOUNT. How the Japanese Took the Chinese Stronghold. Tokohama, Nov. 21. The Japanese attack" upon Port Arthur commenced at dayibreak Wednesday. It wag direct ed against the forts in the rear of Port Arthur. The first army advanced from the right side and the brigade advanced from the left, while a heavy artillery ftrgi was concentrated Jn ' the center in order to bombard the castle. The first army captured the fort on the west side at 8 o'clock in the morning, and entered Port Arthur at 2:08 in the afternoon. Wagonsen fort was cap tured at 4 o'clock In the afternoon. The Kumimammoto brigade took the westward fort at 11 o'clock Fighting Was continued through the night and until the next morning, when all the coast forts were In possession of the Japanese. The Japanese losses were heavy, but it Is thought the Chinese lost 20,000. STORT OF THE PORT ARTHUR FALL. London, Nov. 24. A dispatch from Shanghai asserts that 32 Japanese tor pedo bloats made a concerted rush upon the entrance of the harbor of Port Arthur, and at the same time the Jap anese and forces attacked the place In the rear, while a heavy artillery fire was poured into the Chinese forts. The Japanese Infantry then stormed! de fense after defense. The Chinese re sisted feebly. There were a few hand to hand fights, but finally the Chinese fo'eeame panic stricken and the Japan ese carried everything before them. NEWS FROM MINISTER DENBT. Washington, Nov. 21.

The Tales Defeat the) Harv&rds After a Rough Encounter. Springfield, Mass., Nov. 24. After each Marvard-Tale football game for 20 years now, writers of news hlutory. have been obliged to open the annual record of these encounters with a trite statement that "Tale again defeats Harvard." This, to be sure, Is not literally a fact, because Harvard has since 1875, when the record began, wrenched two victories from the New Haven men, and tliough again defeated today, the ejaculations of hopeless disgust over Harvard's performances are not al together fair. Harvard though defeated today, played good football against fates that might well-nigh be seen In the air. "... j A Tale partisan tonight said: "If I never before believed In Tale luck," said this man, "I believe In It now. I assure you that while Tale had the Dener leaim, Harvard played better football, if anybody can understand what I mean by that." I In spite of the rules the time consum ed this year was greater than last,1 owing chiefly to the examination of nu merous Injuries rsceived by the play-' eia. Wrlghtlngton'B collar bone was' broken; Hallowell was carried from the field disabled; Murphy lay bleeding and insensible on the ground, the result of a hard punch In the stomach; Brewer was hurt In the first half, but was! able to resume the play, though sub sequently retired by physician's order.
