HAVENEVER DESPAIRED REVIV«D HOPE-OF EARLY OCCU- PATION OF PORT ARTHUR. Thousands of Recruits Marched to Headquarters at Tokyo for Enlist- ment—Russian Opinion. Official announcement comes from Tokyo today that the Japanese have occupied the summit of 203-meter hill. This fmportant position has been the object of severe and continuous fighting, and cable reports from time to time have indicated that many men havé been sacrificed in the effort to capture it. Two hundred and three-meter hill is dominating height in the range which les to the westward of the town of Port Arthur, and acording to reports it com- mands artillery range of the harbor and a portion of the main town. Its approximate distance from the citadel or main defense 18 three to four miles. Reports from both Tokyo and St. Peters- burg Indicate that isolated engagements ot a more or less severe nature are occurring along the front of the Manchurian armies but it is not apparent that the main forces are engaged. TOKYO, December 1, noon.—Gen. Nog telegram announcing the storming and cap- ture of “203-meter hill” was received w cheers by the Japanese people. It re the hope of an eariy capture of Port thur proper. The people have never spaired of the success of the besiegers, “Are de- but the fortitude of the defenders and the pro- longaiion of the siege, which exceeds by months the most Mberal preliminary ¢s mate of the time required to accomplish the reduction of this stronghold, have been a source of deep reg combined with the loss of life and disappointments over the fact that the siege has occupied such a Jarge force of men, decreasing Field Mar- shal Oyama’s strength at a time when he needed every available man. Today was the date set under the con- scription act when recruits could join the army. Cheered by the news from General Nogi, thousands of recruits throughout the empire marched to b s and donned uniforms for the first time. Following an honored custom, relatives of recruits, carry- ing flags and banners, escorted the new sol- diers to their barrac In Tokyo today have been scores of little processions orting detachments of popular con- scripts. The number of men who have joined the colors today under the conscrip- tion act has not been made public. Russians Slow to Accept Report. ST. PETERSBURG, Pecember 1.—The war office here is not yet prepared to ac- cept the report that the Japanese before Port Arthur have taken 20¢-meter hill, but if it is officially confirmed the war office admits that it will be a desperate blow for the gal- lant defenders of the fortress. The position commands the harbor, and if the Japanese can mount siege guns on its summit they can force out the Russian squadron or de- stroy it at its anchorage. Those familiar with the supporting plans of the forts think it is by ain that even though the Ru: retire from 203-meter hill the Japanese can place in position heavy guns against the fire which the other forts can bring to bear on it. Stil the war office officials reluctantly agree that such a breach in the chain ren- ders the position extremely critical, and though the garrison might be able to hold out in the Golden hill, Tiger’s Tafl and Liaotie forts for some ‘time It may mark the beginning of the end. The war office is convinced that with the approach of the Russian second Pacific squadron the Japanese considered that the mination of the Port Arthur squadron a fighting factor was abs thus accounting for the reckless life in order to secure a position directly commanding the harbor. Injured at Port Arthur. TOKYO, December 1.—Reports from the Japanese army besieging Port Arthur say that Lieut. Gen. Thuchiya is among the wounded and that Gen, Nakamura, the leader of the specially trained body of swordsmen which charged into the Russian forts November 26, was injured in both legs. ST.

YOUNG APPOINTED WILL BE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DEAD LETTER OFFICE. Formerly Was Representative in Con- gress, Executive Clerk of Senate and Newspaper Correspondent. The . Postmaster General has appointed former Representative James Rankin Young of Philadelphia superintendent of the dead letter office, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of D. P. Liebhardt last Septem- ber. Mr. Young’s appointment will gratify a great many people in this capital and in Philadelphia, in both of which places he is widely and favorably known. He has been a familiar figure in official and social \cir- cles of Washington for many years, and every politician of prominence in Pennsyl- vania knows James Rankin Young. Mr. Young represented one of the Phila- delphia districts-in the national House of Representatives in the Fifty-fifth, Fifty- sixth and Fifty-seventh Congresses. His friends hoped he would continue, but the { exigencies of Pennsylvania politics demand- ed his retirement to make place for another, and Mr. Young, who is nothing if not a dis- ciplinartan in politics, acquiesced cheerfully. Prior to his coming to Congress he was editor of the Philadelphia Evening Star, which paper he had assisted in founding in 1866, Mr. Young, after he came out of the Union made a tour of the southern states as jondent of the New York ‘Tribune, and subsequently was chief of the Wash- ston bureau of the Tribune, serving from 70. From March, 1873, to March, he was executive clerk of the United 's Senate. He was chief clerk of the Department of Justice from 1882 to 1883, and from 188% to 1892 was again chief ‘executive clerk of the Senate Mr. Young has divided his residence be- tween New York and Philadelphia, and is as well known in one city as in the other. He has a charming family, who move in the older exclusive social circles of both cities. Mr. Young is eligible for appointment under the Civil service rules because of the fact that he at one time was chief clerk of the Department of Justice and also is an ex-Union soldier. GOLD FOR JAPAN. It is Assumed That a Shipment is in View. An inquiry has been received at the ‘Treasury Department from one of the lead- ing banks of San Francisco as to the terms at which gold bars could be! supplied from the mint there. This fs taken to mean that gold exports from that city are contem- plated, something which is very unusual. The gold movement is usually in the other direction, Australian gold coming in at San Francisco in the course of the settlement of international balances. Several years ago, when Japan was putting her monetary re- forms into operation, there were some ex- ports of gold from San Francisco, and it is assumed that the contemplated export to- day is intended for Japan. on Russia’s Conditional Acceptance. Official announcement was made at the State Department today of Russia’s condi- tional acceptance of the American govern- ment’s Invitation to join the other powers at The Hague for a second peace confer- ence. Russia's suggestion for a postpone- ment of the congress to the close of the war with Japan must necessarily delay further steps for the present for the reason that not only is it desired that Russia shall participate in this conference, but because several powers might be unwilling to at- tend the conference if Russia were not rep- resented. —_+____ Capt.

Keene, 24th Infantry, has been relieved from duty at the Maryland Agricultural Col- lege, College Park, Md., and ordered to join his regiment in Montana.

R. Burton! of Kansas against conviction of violating the United States statutes. Mr. Hoyt contended that this was an ordinary criminal case, and that the questioning of the jurisdiction of the court which tried Mr. Burton could not be suc- cessfully maintained. Mr. Hoyt said Mr. Burton's name appeared on the Rialto Com- pany’s circulars, but at what time he could not say. Justice White replied that as the depart- ment was investigating the case the time seemed very material. Mr. Hoyt argued that Senator Burton knew just what he was doing when he ac- cepted service with thé Rialto Company.

A large number of business houses ceased operations today and the public schools were closed.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, December 1.—When the receivership case brought by Herbert Newton of Brookline, Mass., against Mrs Cassie L. Chadwick, was called in common pleas court today Attorney Carr of the law firm of Carr, Chamberlain & Stearns, rep- resenting the plaintiff, requested the ‘court to again postpone the hearing. Judge Bab- cock granted the request, with the consent of counsel for Mrs. Chadwick, and the hear- ing was fixed to take place at 9:30 a.m. next Saturday. The action is taken, it is understood, as a result of negotiations which it is said will probably result in ele the claim of Mr. Newton out of court. Ira_ Reynolds, secretary aia treasurer of the Wade Park Banking Company, who is reported to have securities in his possession belonging to Mrs. Chadwick to the value of from $750,000 to $1,000,000. stated today that if the Newton claim shouldbe settled, the other claims would doubtless be lqui- dated within a few days at the most. Mr, Reynolds again declined to make any state- ment concerning the bonds. stocks or notes alleged to be in his Possession, owned by Mrs. Chadwick, A force of experts are still at work on the books of the Wade Park Banking Company, preparing’a financial statement of the insti. tution. Mr. Reynolds declared today that this statement would show the bank in first-class condition, and also that the in- debtedness of Mrs. Chadwick to it to be only about $17,000, This indebtedness, it is said, is secured by collateral of undoubted value and more than ample to cover the claim of the bank.
