WILL SINK FLEET.
Port Arthur Squadron Will Be De
stroyed by Russians.
With the confirmation of the news
that the Japanese have occupied 203
Meter hill, and the report that the
Russians unsuccessfully attempted Its
recapture, officials at the war office
are beginning to prepare themselves
for the inevitable. I
Golden hill and I.laoll hill are high
er, and dominate 2o Meter hill, but j
the officials say If the Japanese suc
ceed in mounting heavy guns upon the
latter, it probably will be only a
question of dnys or weeks before the
fortress falls. Silll there is not the
slightest idea among Oen. Stoessel's
friends that he will surrender, even
if ho should bo ordered to do so.
Togo Preparing,
The London Daily Telegraph a cor
respondent at Chifu hears that many
of Admiral Toco's vessels are being
docked and repaired in preparation for
eventualities. .
The progress of the Russian see-'
ond Pacific squadron excites daily j
growing interest. A Japanese cor
respondent of the Morning Post, dis
- cussing possible preparations to meet .
the squadron, suggests that Japan
rely upon the older warships to main
tain the blockade of Port Arthur (in i
fact, the correspondent, asserts they ;
already are so employed) and thus en-
able Togo to release his more modern
vessels for overhauling at Sasebo pre
paratory to meeting Admiral Rojest-1
vensky. j

WORLD'S FAIR CLOSED.
Wat the Greatest Exposition on Rec
ordFinancial Report.
The Louisiana Purchase Exposition
ended December 1. From its Inception
to Its close the greatest World's Fair
of history represented work covering
seven years, the actual duration of the
show being as many months.
The man probably most prominent
ly known In connection with th-i
World's Fair is the President, David
R. Francis, and In his honor the final
day was designated as 'Vrnncls day."
"This Exposition has been the work
of my life," said President Francis.
"It has consumed my entire time for
the past four years, but every hour
has been an hour of pleasure to me."
The closing exercises were held at
the base of the Louisiana Put chase
mounnient In the Plaza of St. Louis,
where were held seven months ago
the ixerclscs that formally opened the
gates to the world. The principal
speeches delivered were by Governor
Pockety of Missouri nnd President
Francis. Mayor Wells spoke briefly
and Introduced Governor DoeUery.
That every citizen of St. Louis
might participate In the last day of the
Exposition the day was proclaimed a
holiday by Mayor Wells. Governor
Dnckery likewise had proclaimed
throughout the State that today was
especially set npnrt for paying final
homage to the Exposition.
In round number. the exposition
company has expended $22.Hk.';imi
since the Inception of the World's fair
project, and the expenditures of th?
several States and Territories hnve
reached a total of $0,000.1)00. The re
ceipts since the opening day, April ISO,
have amounted to about $10,000,000.
consisting of admissions and conces
sion royalties. While It is Impossible
to state exactly the financial condition
of the exposition compnny on this, the
closing day, it can be authoritatively
announced that all debts against the
company have been paid, with the ex
ception of a few current accounts,
such as salaries, etc., and these will
If. Is thought consume nearly all the
surplus, so that there will only be a
very small amount left for the stock
holders. From the amount of royalties
collected by the exposition company,
if Is estimated that the concession
aires of the "Pike" and other pens
of the World's Fair grounds have tak
en in at least $10,000,000.
NISSEN'S BODY FOUND.
Features of the Dead Adventurer In
dicated Great Suffering.
Peter Nlssen, who started across
Lake Michigan in his boat called the
Fool Killer No. 3, was found dead on
the beach, two nnd one-half miles west
of Stevensvllle, Mich. Nlssen is sup
posed to have been washed ashora
during the night. His Fool Killer was
about 20 rods down the beach from th?
body, and was considerably damaged.
A life preserver and his overcoat were
fastened to the basket-shaped car In '
the boat. The hands and face are
frozen and the foaturen reflect his
suffering. I
It is almost certain that Nisecn '
practically reached shore alive, niter j
he had been out f Chicago 24 houm.
The Fool Killer was then seen about
200 rods from shore, off Livingston,
six miles south of Stevensvllle. A
heavy gale was blowing, and, It is
presumed he was unnble to land, nnd
was probably tossed about up shore i
all night. i
It is believed that Nlssen was either I
unconscious or so badly chilled that
ho was unable to save himself when
the Fool Killer finally collapsed, and '
thnt he was drowned. '
When the wrecked aquatic balloon j
was examined one of Nlssen's busi- j
ness enrds was found, on the buck of j
which was a note from the dead ad-'
venturer, saying an air hose upon
which he depended to renew his sup- '
ply of air had broken, nnd that he was
doomed to die of suffocation.
Bishop Horstman Settles Strike.
The strike of the 800 or more em
ployes of the Kelley Island Lime and
Transportation Company at Marble
head and Kelley Island, begun last
Tuesday, has been settled through
the mediation of Bishop Horstmann
of the Romun Catholic diocese of
Cleveland.
JAPS REPULSED.
Russians Claim That the Enemy Suf
fered Enormous Loss.
The Wur office at St. Petersburg
has received information from Chifu
that the Japanese assault on Port
Arthur Saturday was repulsed with
enormous loss.
General KouropntUin reports that '
there has been active skirmishing on
the left flank for three days. The j
opinion Is now expressed by tho gen- j
(ml staff that Hie Japanese intend j
taking tho offensive, as, they cannot j
afford to wait until the Russians are
further' reinforced. It is held that'
the fifrhtlng to the eastward Is doubt-j
less with the purpose, of feeling out
the Russian positions preparatory to
un advance in Hint direction, but, as
there are about 7.000 Russian troops
southwest of Slntsintln, where fight
ing occurred on November 2G, and
probably twice as many more in the
mountains between llentsiaputze and
Slntsintln, any Japanese move from
this quarter would entail serious
fighting. At the same time corre
spondents at the front continue to
scout the idea of serious fighting be
ing imminent. -
General Kouropatkln also reports
that the Jupunese movement which
began November 24 near the village
of Tsinkhetchen, on the front of the
left flunk, was of an indecisive char
acter up to 4 p, ni. November 2G and
was checked by the Russiun fire.
Dynamite Exploded.
One man Is dead, two are dying
ond two more are in the hospital as
a result of an explosion of 50 pounds
of dynamite which some Italians were
thawing out over a fir J at Keel Ridge,
several miles eaBt of Sharon, Pa.
The man who was killed and one of
the others came from Pittsburg.
T
Japs Take One on Metre Hill
which Overlooks Inner Line.
FALLING BACK IN MUKDEN FIELD
The Attempt to Execute a Turning
Movement Apparently Has Been
Failure.
The Imperial army headquarters
announces that the Japanese troops
besieging Port Arthur are In posses
sion of 20n Metre Hill. The follow
ing dispatch has been given out:
"The army commenced a bonihnrd
mmt against 203 .Metre Hill at
dawn November "0, and made several
charge s before 4 o'clock In the after
noon. Owing to the enemy's stub-
born
At 5
force
rcslstnnce the charges failed,
o'clock In the afternoon our
advanced against the south
eastern portion oi tne niu, made a
fierce charge and reached within 30
mr-trtn of the summit. At 7 o'clock,
with relnlorcements, we i barged to
the top, which was occupied by our
tores. Against the northeastern
part of the Mil we also charged, and
at 8 o'clock the entire fort on the
Htiiuntli fell Into our hands.
"The Hupsli.ns left heaps of dead
bodies on the eastern side of the
hill, but we have had no time to In
vestigate further."
The emperor opened the second
war diet today with the following
address:
'Our expeditionary forces have
been victorious in every battle nnd
have repeatedly shown fresh proofs
of their loyalty nnd bravery, so that
the progress of the war has been con
stantly to our advantage. We expect
by the loyal devotion of our subjects
to attain our ultimate object and we
call upon you to discharge your du
ties by harmonious cooperation,
thereby promoting our wishes and
ends."
The Japanese ore withdrawing to
the TFiinchau, and the district be
tween Tslnehecheu and Slntsintln Is
clear of them.
Official and private dispatches re
ceived at St. Petersburg indicate
thnt the Japanese are falling back
below Slntsintln, where, for several
days, they had apparently been at
tempting a turning movement. After
four days of tolerably severe, but un
successful fighting, they are now re
tiring, with the Russians in pursuit.
It Is impossible as yet to tell
whether either movement has real
strategic significance.
The Russian consul at Chefoo tele
graphs that the Japanese captured
two forts in the storming operations
against Port Arthur on November 23,
but the news is not confirmed from
nny
the
nnd
other quarter. The consul says
Jananese losses were enormous
that 5,000 men
were sacrificed
in
wo hours.

RU68IA NOt WILLING.
Refuses to Participate In Hague Con
ference Until War Is Ended.
Russia Is unwilling to Join the
Powers In a second peace conference
at The Hague until her war with Ja
pan Is ended. The Russian reply to
Secretary Hay's note to the Powers
Inviting them to reassemble In con
ference at The Hague "to complete
the postponed work of the first con
ference" was delivered verbally to
Secretary Hay today by Count Cas
slnl. the Russian Ambassndor.
The Ambassador was requested by
his Government to sny that Russia
heartily accepted In principle the
invitation to a second conference et.
The Hague nnd gladly associated
herself with the American Govern
ment In Its efforts to complete the
mission of tho first great assembly
convened under the leadership of the
Russian Kinperor.
The Ambassador was further re
quested to sny that, while the Rus
sian Government very sincerely
cherished these vlews It did not con
sider the moment opportune for the
convening of such n conference and
It therefore must withhold Its formal
acceptance of the Invitation tintll
the war in the Far Kant was at un
end.
Although different In form the Rus
sian reply does not differ In effect
from that of Great Britain, France
and the other European Powers,
prnetlenlly nil of which alrendy hnve

sia Is the first Power specifically to
suggest a postponement until the

Royalty In Inches.
King Edward represents .fully the
average heipht in British stature,
which Is five feet seven and seven
eights Inches, his actual height In
his boots being five feet eight and a
half Inches. The Emperor William
falls slightly below his royal uncle,
but not below the average German
height. Of the elected rulers Presi
dent Loubet represents the French
average, which is five feet six Inches.
On the other hand, we find the
Emperor of Jnpnn to be far above the .
national standard of height. His
majesty Is a taM man for a Japanese
five feet six Inches. Tho tallest
royal personage is King Leopold, six
feet six Inches, which places him next
to Peter the Great, who measured six
feet eight and a half Inches. Phila
