Under the agreement to vote, the bill remains the unfinished business of the iiiumrn until the following Monday md it is o:isidete.l doubtful whether much more business' of general im- I pnrtar.ee will he 'then undertaken until 'after Christmas, as many senators i nave announced their intention of leav- l ing for home immediately after tho j i vote on the Philippine ipieslion.

ARE IN RETREAT RUSSIAN GARRISON AT PORT ARTHUR FLEES TO MOUNTAIN. ;-.., RUSSIAN SHIPS ARE SINKING Details ef the Capture of Meter. Hill. Mikado's Men Unable to Understand Why the Russians Do Not Fight. LONDON According to the Morn ing Post's Shanghai dispatches, the Port Arthur forces, with the exception of those manning the forts, have al ready retreated to Iaote mountain. Details continue to filter in of the capture of 203-Meter hill. The Daily Telegraph's correspondent txnlains that the capture was due to a strong and sustained Japanese feint against the eastern fortifications on the night of December 5. and the position of 203-Meter hill, being an enfilading pne. foreed the Russians to evacuate with out a contest, a parallel line of semi permanent fortifications extending -easi and west and irregularly over tin slope half a mile west of Etse nioun tain. The Japanese casualties at 203 Meter hill alone exceed the total o the battle of Nan Shan, according to the Daily Mail's Tokkrdispatch.es. At 2 o'-clock in the afternoon of No vember 29 a Tomaysu detachment, with a 1 attalion of infantry and a com pany of engineers, received orders that they must capture 203-Meter hill, while a Yosid detachmeut of the same strength had similar orders to. capture Aka&aka hilh On November SO it be came necessary to reinforce the,, at tackers with a detachment under Major Shizuta. During the operation the cold was so intense that many of the men 'were frost-bitten, as it was necessary to pass the night without shelter. The Japanese, after the cap ture of 203-Meter hill, anticipated a terrible bombardment from the Rus sian forts and made preparations ac cordingly, but the Russians remained strangely quiet. The Daily Telegraph's Tien Tsin correspondent reports- that General Oku. after a three days' artillery en gagement. drove the Russians on Thursday out of the small lofty island of Gushan, in the river, ten miles north of Liao .Yang. The Russians, it is added, abandoned a quantity of sup plies and several gun's and' retired to a position eight miles northwest, whence they heavily bombarded the Japanese, setting' fire on 'Tuesday to kerosene depots and causing a great conflagra- .tiou. which did not cease until Wed nesday. The Japanese are still gal lantly holding the island with a hand ful of" men. Their casualties, it is al leged, number 5.000. LONDON A dispatch to the Japan ese legation from Tokio, dated today, says: The naval staff at Port Arthur re ports that, on, Thursday evening the Pallada was set on fire and heeled to port with its stern sunk. Eleven shots Hit the Giliak (gunbdat). The Bayan took fire at 11:30 and is still ablaze at 1:15 p. m. The Amur (transport) -was hit fourteen times and sunk.' Many shots greatly damaged the warehouses, and other buildings near IViyu moun tain and the arsenal. CHINESE EXCLUSION TREATY. Tedious and Difficult Task Presented Negotiators. WASHING f ON The new Chinese exclusion treaty, which Secretary"Hay and Sir 'Chentung Liang Cheng, the Chinese " minister, are negotiating, presents a tedious and difficult task. When the negotiations were begun some time ago.it was with the hope, though hardly with the expectation, that the , treaty could be signed in time' to be sent to the senate at the opening of congress. If the treaty reaches congress before the close of the 'present session tHe negotiators will feel that their work progressed rapidly.. To safeguard the country even more adequately than does the present treaty against the immigration of Chinese laborers "of any class, and to alleviate as far ay can safely be done the alleged hardships which even the best people of China are forced to un dergo at the gateways of this coun try, are two results, which it is hoped may be obtained by the new treaty. It !3 stated on authority that there is no foundation that the new treaty is designed to let- down' the bars against indiscriminate Chinese immigration. Famine in Central Russia. ST. PETERSBURG. The following ofilcial statement was made today in regard to report's of famine in Central Russia: "No famines have occurred. There is a bad harvest In Southern Bessarabia.- and also, but not so bad.

Purpose of the Government to Punish Guilty Parties. WASHINGTON. An official state ment was given out by the Intel i-ir de partment announcing the govern ment's purpose to prosecute every guilty man in the public land frauds to the full extent of the -law and regard less of position in life. The statement follows: "The conviction in Portland, Ore., yesterday of five persons for land frauds, which wilt be fallowed next week by the trial of several others in dicted for the same offense, is but an other step tDwards the consummation of the policy entered upon by the sec retary of the intcrior. when it became known, nearly three years ago, that 'rauds were being perpetrated in con nection with the public lands, to run lown and prosecute the guilty ones to j he full extent of the law, without re sard to their position in life. The de partment has encountered many obsta cles while engaged in this work, but. 'ias ,mo.ed , steadily onward and has nad the hearty co-operation of the De partment of Justice in bringing these land criminals to justice. "These land frauds have been far more extensive-than the public real i.c and the vyork of securing the nec essary proofs has been a difficult one. but there is no abatement of jthe inten tion to secure the conviction of the land thieves. No one" will be shielded, whether high or low, and the work of prosecution' will be vigorously carried on." REVISION OF THE TARIFFF. Matter That Gives Roosevelt Much Concern. WASHINGTON. President Rooscf velt is canfering daily with members of both the senate and the house of representatives on the subject of tariff revision and how the work shall be accomplished. He has found that strong opposition exists to considera tion of the' subject by congress at an extraordinary session to be held next spring, and it can be said that the idea of calling an extraordinary session for next spring practically has been aban doned. It has been pointed out to the president that it- would be nearly im possible for the committee of congress ta prepare a tariff measure for pre sentation to the house before July 1, next. Representative Watson (Ind.) had a conference with the president. While no decision yet has been reached re garding the revision of the tariff, it is pretty well understood now that if revision should be decided upon, an extraordinary session of congress will be called, to meet next fall. The subject will be taken up at that session, and its consideration probably be taken up and concluded at the regular session next December This arrangement, it is believed, will enable congress to dispose of the tariff question at a comparatively early date in the regular session. MONEY TO PAY ALL BILLS. Iowa Exposition Commission Keeps Within Appropriation. DES MOINES Ex-Governor Larra bee, president of the Iowa commission on the Iouisiana Purchase exposition, with Secretary Freeman Conaway of the same commission, arrived home from St. Iottis. where they have at tended the exposition and closed up affairs for Iowa. An executive commit tee meeting was held to go over the accounts and arrange for a settle ment. Secretary Conaway will take an office at the state capitol and de vote his time for two or three months to closing up affairs. The commission will be able tojiay all bills and settle everything without making use of any of the $25,000 additional appropriated for specific purposes, but it was pro vided that none of it could be used until all the other appropriation :was used., While some departments needed the additional sums it was not needed in all departments and none of it was touched. The commission turned" over all'' the Iowa property to the State Board of Control and that board is now in charge. It has already started the work of dismantling -the Iowa building and it is probable that build ing will, be the first to be torn down. The furniture and materials are being shipped to various places in the state. GENERAL NOGI IS CHILDLESS Both of His Sons Have Been Killed in Battle.
