The Loss of Port Arthur Will
Hasten Feacc.
YALE DEFEATS HARVARD.
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 state de
portment has received a cable from
Minister Denby saying that Port Ar
thur fell on the 22d inst. The navy de
partment has received a cable from
Admiral Carpenter, In command of the

patch from Shanghai a large Chinese
cruiser broke her propeller while Mr
Ing to haul the war ship Chart' Tuen
oft the rocks at Wei Hai Wsf, and the
cruiser Is now said to be Jlr.g helpless
at that place. It Is adVed that China
has only four effective 'warships left
INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.
Salt Lake, Nov. 24. A special to the
Tribune from Butte, Mont, says: The
O&naHJan Creek Jndians camped 10
miles west of hsre are robbing and
committing other depredations and the
sheriff and force are powerless to han
dle them. They are a remnant of the
Indians that participated In Jhe Reil

ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE.
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.
THE BANK IS SOUND.
The Defaulting Bookkeeper was Con--sidered
One of Their Safest Men.
New Tork, Nov. M. The clearing
bouse committee report that notwith

keeper of the National Shoe and Leath
er bank to the prtit nt !.ir,4 nan ha
bank is sound and able to pay Its de-j
positors.
President Crane, of the defrauded
batik, in speaking of the affair, said:
"The defaulting bookkeeper Is Sam
uel G. Seeley. He has been In the em
ploy of the bank for the past fourteen'
years, and was one of our trusted em-J
ployrs. On last Friday afternoon See

Sunday, promising to return Monday
morning. A substitute was put to work
on the books on Saturday, and as See
ley failed to appear on Monday morn
ing, the same substitute resumed work
on the books. These were discovered to
be In such a condition that examination
of them was made by the officers of the
bank. This finished, the amjunt of the
defalcation was i known by Tuesday
night. . On Wednesday we sent for the
national bank examiner, who furnished
Ms labor and verified our statement to-
day. Seeley was guaranteed by the
United States Guarantee Company for
$7,500. and' officers of that company con
sidered him one of their best risks.
Seeley was a man of very quiet habits
He has a wife and two children. The
whereabouts of Seeley are unknown.
HE WAS A COWARD.
ShootB a Boy a Second Time for Steal
lng Apples.
Redwood City, Cal., Nov. 24. George
Carter, and another student from Stan-
ford University, entered an orchard
owned by a man named Gibson, to pick
some apples.' Gibson came out with a
shotgun and fired at them, striking

the Iobs being $100,000. - The work was
done by a daring gang. The mercantile
house of A, G. Wangeman was known
to con tail n a large sum of money. The
robbers placed a charge of dynamite
under the big steel vault and ignited
it. The vault was torn to atoms, and
the fire began to devour the buildings.
A gang was detailed to guard and keep
back the people while two men sacked
the boodle. The exact loss cannot be
ascertained, although not less than
$25,000. About $15,000 In books and ac
counts were also burned.
THE BONDS SOLD.
Taken at a Premium of $116898.
Washington, Nov. '24. Bids for the
new Issue of $50,000,000 five per cent
bonds were opened today. The main
bid was by a syndicate of bankers of
New Tork, London, Philadelphia and
Boston, and was for $50,000,000 at 1116,
898. The bidders Include Drexel, Mor
gan & Co., the United States Trust
Company, and large New. Tork banks.
At 12:45 a large number of bankers
and representatives of the press had
assembled to hear the bids announoed.
Reading of the bids closed! at 1:50 p, m.
The aggregate, including both bids of
Drexel, Morgan & Co., amounted to
about $155,000,000; counting; only one of
their bids, $105,000,000.' Of. the fifty mil-'.
Hons the syndicate bid provides that
forty millions are to be delivered in
New Tork, three million at Boston,
three millions at Philadelphia, two mil
lions at Chicago, and two millions at
San Francisco.
At 4 o'clock It was stated at the de
partment that a hurried calculation,
the total number of bids was 297, ag
gregating $154,370,900. The largest bid
was the syndicate bid of the United
States Trust Co., Drexel, Morgan & Co.,
and others at 117.07 for the whole
amount of fifty million or none. This
was the bast bid offered. .It therefore
seems quite probable that the syndi
cate bid will be accepted, although

not express an opinion as to the result
until next Monday, when the awards
will be made. According to the terms
of this bid, the government will be
required to pay 2 878 per cent Interest
on the $50,000,000 as against three per
cent carried by the first issue.
TACOMA'S HARBOR LINES.
An Effort Made to Have Them Set
Aside, i
Taooma, Nov. 24. City Attorney
WlckerBham this afternoon filed a suit
prepared by Attorney General Jones of
this state, asking that the location ot
the harbor lines for Taooma, barton
be set aside on the ground that they
had been fixed through collusion and
fraud on the part of the state land
commission with the Taooma Land Co.
and the Northern Pacdflo Railway com
pany. The suit attacks the constitu
tionality of the law creating the state
land commission. If the law la found to
be Invalid, the harbor lines of over a
dozen cities and towns on Puget Sound
and Gray's Harbor and Wlllapa Harbor
must be set aside.

observation I should Bay that the situ
ation has brightened up considerably
west of Denver, but east through Kan
sas and Nebraska I still find a de
pression due largely to a failure of
