The discussion of the approaching
large issue OF short-term obligations by
the Southern Railway Company was a
significant reminder of the fact that the
same conditions which were made much
Of during the recent market depression
were still I'm force. and that the recent
activity had changed matters more on
the surface than in reality. So far as
the money market was concerned there
was scarcely as much as a ripple TO In
dictate that with the tremendous trading
of the previous two days there had been
the least increase in the demand foi
leans by commission houses.

GENERAL 0KU DRIVES
THE RUSSIANS OUT OF
THE ISLAND OF GUSHAN
Disabled Russian
Fleet at NerCu
Of Enen1y.

TOXIC, Dec. 9.-Since the taking Of
20S Meter Hill it has been possible to
accurately find the range of the bat
tleships in the harbOr of Port Arthur
The bombardment of the Russian fleet
has thus been made effective from va
rlous points apart from the hill itself.
1t is believed that before long every
torpedo boat destroyer, merchantmen
and transport in the harbor will be
sunk. Only the Sevastopol Of the Rus
sian battleshiDs remain above water
Eight destroyers are still untouched
1t is said that the strength of the gar
rlson does not exceed 5000. The jap
anese papers make no secret OF the Joy
over the recent successes at Port Ar
thur.
The following report, dated December
., III p M. has been received from the
commander of the naval land batteries
in front of Port Arthur
Elght shells struck the protected
cruiser Pallada to-day and set her on
fre. simultaneously she began to list
TO port, lowering astern. She is deemed
united for navigation.
During the action we discovered the
gunboat Giliak to the landWard north
of the battleship Peresviet and bonn
barded her. Eleven of our shells were
effective. This vessel is also deemed
to be disable
The hits made by our naval and
siege guns to-day total twenty two
The armored cruiser Bayan caught fire
at 1880 o'clock this morning and the
ire was not extinguished at Ais in the
afternoon. Evidently the cruiser is Sc
riously damaged"
Another report from the same COM
mander, dated at o'clock this (Fri-
day) morning, is as follows
As the result of our naval gun bonn
bardment yesterday Thursday the
Bayan was hit six times and the Amur
fourteen times The Amur is sinking
astern.
Our cannonade directed against the
storehouses and arsenals at the north
east base of Paiyu Mountain resulted
in thirty-six hits, causing great
damage
In disabling the Russian fleet at Port
Arthur, precluding the possibility of
its being able to reinforce the Russian
Second Pacific squadron, the Japanese
have accomplished the main object of
the desperate assaults against the
fortress which they have been making
fcr the past three months There is
now a strong probability that, while
continuing the siege they will avoid
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.
