A small { party. of Japanese gained a roadway leading to the rear of the fort, but was forced to retire. | The attempt: which were first made rush the western part of Rihlung Mountain, officlally called Sungshu | Mountain, also ended in failure.

It has upper and lower levels. The two lower levels were the scene of the most awful struggle, which last- | ed from 10 o'clock until midnight. Un- | der cover of darkness the Japanese | poured over the ramparts and Iurloull)"; attacked the first section of bomb- | proofs. The defenders received them with bayonets and dynamite grenades, while the machine guns on the upper levels poured a deadly hail into the ranks of the Japanese. band. The defenders of the greater! part of the bombproofs on the lower Jevels of the fort were annihilated, and the sections and cross-sections of the bombproofs were plled with corpses. MOWED DOWN BY SLAVS, The Japanese gained practically the whole of the lower section of the fort, but were mowed down by machine | guns and rifies when they attempted to | assault the higher levels. For an hour before midnight the Japanese artillery shelled the higher levels, while the Russian guns shelled the lower levels. A similar struggle was going on all | the time in the west Rihlung fort, | where the arrangement of the defenses | wes the same. i At 11 o'clock a desperate effort was | made by the Japanese to push a foree up the gorge between the east Rihlung | fort_and Hachimakijama to assist the assablters against the supporting fort of Sungshu Mountain, but nm:, n:’zld e again this force was Russians behind the works and by the guns on the ridge behind the fort.

LONDON, D graph’s Tientsin correspondent reports General Oku, after a thvee days’ artillery engagement drove the Rus- sians on Sunday out of the small lofty isiand of Gushan in the river ten miles below Liaoyang. The Russians, it is added, abandoned a quantity of sup- plies and several guns and retired to a position eight miles northwest, whence they heavily bombarded the Japanese, setting fire to kerosene depots and causing a great conflagration ! which did not cease until Wednesday. The Japanese are still gallantly holding the island with a handful of men. Their | casualties, it is alleged, number 5000. According to the Morning Post's Shanghai dispatch the Japanese forces with the excepticn of those manning the forts have already retreated to Laote mountains. Details continue to fiiter capture of 203 Meter hill. in of the The Daily Telegraph's correspondent before Port Arthur explains that the capture was due to a strong feint against the east- ern fortificaticns on the night of De- cember 5, which the position of 203 Meter hill, being an _.enfllading one, forced the Russians to evacuate with- out a contest, to a parallel line of semi- permanent defenses extending east- ward and irregularly over the siopes within a haif-mile noyth of Etse Moun- tain. The Japanese casualties at 203 Meter hiil alone exceeded the total of the bat- tle of Nanshan, according to the Daily Muail's Tokio dispatches. At 2 o'clock in the afterncon of November 29 a To- meyasu detachment with a battalion of infantry and a company of engineers received orders that they must cap- turé 203 Meter hill while a Yosid de- tachment of the same strength had similar orders to capture Akasaka hill. Or November 30 it became necessary to reinforce the attackers with a detach- ment under Major Shizuta. During the operation the cold was so intense that many of the men were frostbitten, as it was necéssary to pass the night with- out sheiter. The Japanese after the cap- ture of Meter hill anticipated a terrible bombardment from the Russian forts and made preparations according- | ly, but the Russians remained strange- ly quiet. The same correspondent says that the Russians at Port Arthur on December 7 resumed mine clearing operations, presumably to enable the torpedeo beat destroyers to atiempt to escape and join the Baltic squadron, 5 S SHIPS GIVEN WARNING.

Moore, H. D. Clark, A. R. Baum. B saulters were compelled to retire to the trenches established inside the parapet walle which they now occupy. The fighting ali the afternoon and night was the most desperate and san- guinary since the siege began. The op- posing forces® were so close together that only the fort walls or a few yards of level ground separated*them, The struggle from start to finish was at close quarters, with bayonets and gren- ades and rifles used as clubs. The fero- city of the attacking Japanese was equaled by the defending Russians, who died at their posts everywhere, fighting till their last breath. At daylight on November 27 quiet reigned, and the silence during the day was broken only by occasional cannon and desultory rifle fire at points along the fortified ridge, where the forces w;r@ far enough apart to use thelr rifles. 10.—The Daily Tele- —_—— Disabled Russian Fleet at Mercy . of Enemu, TOKIO, Dec. 9.—Since the taking of | 203 Meter Hill it has been possible to | { accurately find the range of the bat- | B { tleships in the harbor of Port Arthur. | | The bombardment of the Russian fleet | | has thus been made effective from va- | rious points apart from the hill itself. tIt is believed that before long every {torpedo boat destroyer, merchantman {and transport in the harbor will be sunk. Only the Sevastopol of the Rus- | § | sian battleships remain above water. | t Eight destroyers are still untouched. {1t is said that the strength of the gar- | | rison does not exceed 6000.

There is | now a strong probability that, while continuing the siege, they will avold losses of the magnitude already attend- ing their efforts, and, instead of as- | saulting, will rely on starving out the garrison until it is finally captured. P Aty RUSSIANS ARE SILENT. Do Not Reply to Fire of Japanese on the Port Arthur Fleet. + TOKIO, Dee: 9,8 p. m.—The latest ab- ‘servations of the Japanese commanders in front of Port Arthur show that there is no activity in the west harbor or in the visible portions of the east harbor. The Russians, strangely, are not reply- ing to the japanese fire. Considerable astonishment is ex- pressed here over the fact that the Russians in no way resisted the dis- | abling of the Port Arthur fleet. In cer- tain quarters the opinion is entertained that the Russians opened the seacocks of the submerged vessels, so as to ;;.snen their exposure to the Japanese re. There was no sign of life on the Rus- | sian ships during the bombardment, | and from this fact it is concluded that | the blue jackets took refuge on land | or that they are engaged in the land defenses. With the Russian second Pscmc! squadron approaching, those in Tokio | cannot comprehend the failure of the | Russians to die hard and to inflict all | possible damage on the Japanese fleet, even at the cost of weakening the ef- fective garrison. Now that the Port Arthur fleet has been disabled, it is deemed impossible for the Russians to overcome the in- feriority of the second Pacific squad- ron to Togo's fleet, unless, at present unforeseen, the Black Sea fleet should pass the Dardanelles.

R R T O S B R BLIRE i W PP AT TR T TR towing at sea of more than one barge at a time was adopted, also a resolu- tion urging the passage by Congress ot the bill (H. R. 12,534) prohibiting the towing of log rafts on the Pacific Ocean. 57 An amendment to the constitution was adooted providing for a more ex- peditious method for collecting assess- ments from the affiliated bodies in aid of unions on strikes or lockouts. A paper entitled “Seaman,” written by Representative Livernash and in- troduced by him in the last session of Congress, was indorsed as a correct statement of the seamen’s position. The following resolutions were con- curred in by the committee: ‘Whereas, Passenger steamers in the Panama trade on the Pacific. passenger steamers on the Great Lakes and passenger steamers on | he Atlantic Coast are both inefficiently and l‘n:\l(flclflnuy ‘manned In this respect, that such men as they carry are mostly landsmen and thelr number is so small that even If they wore skilled seamen there would not be suf- ficient of them to place one in each lifeboat in case of dimaster to the vessl; and, Whereas, Boats, or other life-saving appli- ances, are of no use without men knowing how to_handle them; and, Whes Recent disasters in San Francisco harbor, on the Puget Sound and in New York rbor have unnecessarily and for the above ted reasons cgused a gruesome loss of hu- e, be it Resolved, By the International Seamen's Union of America, In convention assembled, that we hereby protest against the liberty (?) which permits ohe man on shore to wantonly risk thousands of human lves in order to save the few dollars which an effective crew of skilled men would cost in addition to the present cost of manning the vesscl; further Resclved, That we urge upon Congress the ssage of H.

A resolution was adopted that no member of the afflliated unions who is also a member of an organization not affiliated with the International Sea- men’s Union is eligible as a delegate to any convention. A resolution was introduced by Dele- gate Archie Long providing that a del- egate to the Ameriean Federation of Labor convention shall be chosen from two or more organizations representing the International Seamen’'s Union of America. A resolution introduced asking for the improvement in the living quarters of the employes of the steward's de- partment on vessels, in accordance with the terms of H. R. 13,771, was adopted. ‘A resolution urging the enactment of legislation prohibiting the use of fish- traps or fishwheels, and requesting the co-operation of packers to that end, ‘was adopted. A resolution was adopted asking Con- gress for the passage of a law abolish- ing the punishment by imprisonment of seamen for desertion in foreign ports. The present law allows a seaman to de- sert his ship in ports of the United States and nearby ports, as Canada, Mexico, West Indies, Bahamas and Newfoundland. The resolution l‘ggnl- to Congress to amend section of the Revised Statutes and the treaties with foreign nations so as to give to the seaman the full and inalienable right of ownership in his own body. .
