in Copenhagen, naturally did not fail
to communicate to her father the in-

Tokio, Nov. S.—A statement issued
from imperial headquarters charges
the Russians defending Port Arthur
with the misuse of Red Cross badges
and with the maltreatment and killing
of Japanese wounded.
It is charged that the Russians sent
armed men wearing Red Cross badges
Into tbe Japanese lines, ostensibly for
the purpose of seeking taelr wounded
but really with the object of recon-
poitering the Japanese positions, and
that for this reason the Japanese de-
cide to- consent to short armistices
in order that the wounded might be
succored and the dead buried.
The statement instances the case of
a Japanese hospital orderly who was
wounded and left an the field, where
the Russians stripped" hint of his
badge and killed him. A wounded Jap-

RUSSIAN DEFENSE DETERMINED
RELIEF AT ST. PETERSBURG FELT
Shanghai, Nov. 7.—Advices reach-1 en information from Chinese sources
ing Shanghai say that the Japanese as-
sault on Port Arthur continues with
unabated vigor and that the Russian
defense is dogged and determined. The
northern portion of East Keekwan
mountain has been captured by the
Japanese, who hold it under a fur-
ious Russian fire.
A fort on the Inner line of defenses
whs destroyed by the explosion of a
magazine on November 3.
The casualties of the Japanese are
reported to be enormous. A belief
prevails that tbe Russian warships
will make another attempt to escape.
St Peterburg, Nov, 7.—Great re-
lief is felt In view of the reports Indi-
cating that the Japanese assaults on
Port Arthur have been unsuccessful.
A direct report from the Russian con-
sul at Cbefoo says that he has recelv-
that the Japanese finally relinquished
the attempt on November 3, .the Mi-
kado’s birthday, after losing enorm-
ously. Tbe consul says the carnage
was awful. The bombardment con-
tinued six days without intermission.
The Chinese breached and took Fort
No. 3, but according to the Chinese,
were forced to abandon it. owing to
the concentrated fire from the aup*
porting fortifications.
No confirmation has been received
here of the report that General Sto-
essel was wounded.
Among high officers at the war office
where tbe true conditions inside the
fortress of Port Arthur mre known.
General Stoessel’s ability to hold out
against the efforts of Japanese con-
centrated on it during the last ten days
is regarded as marvelous, but no doubt
of the ultimate result Is entertained.

Topeka, Kas., Nov. 8.—State Ac-
cauntant Rowett today completed the
report of his examination of the Ok-
lahoma warrant and interest fund and
he finds an actual shortage of $1,464.77.
The shortage was $2,731.71, hut on
August $1,266.34 was turned Into the
treasury with no report where it came
from.
The Oklahoma warrants are receiv-
ed by Kansas for earing for Oklahoma
prisoners at the Kansas penitentiary.
They run from two to three years be-
fore they are paid, and Oklahoma pays
6 per eept interest on them. I'p to
February 5. 1899, a month after F. E.
Grimes became state treasurer, all
Oklahoma warrants were held in tbe
state treasury until paid and tin (till
amount of interest accounted for.
Since that date they have been s«> d by
the state treasurers to hanks and re-
ported as paid by Oklahoma The
face of the warrants has always •-< en
accounted for. but the shortage occur*
on the accrued interest.
Accountant Rowett questions the au-
thority of the state treasurer to sell
the warrants, but he says this Is a
question for the legal department to
determine. He figures thes late has
lost $19,383.36 by the sale of warrants.
It is said that 6 per cent Oklahoma
warrants are worth a premium and
banks are eager to get hold of them.
