Keep pardaneIIes Closed.

In an editorial article discussing the
question of the Black sea fleet the
London Daily Telegraph declares that
it is impossible that Great Britain
should consent to a modification OF
the treaty which would permit of the
exit of the Black sea fleet. But if at
the conclusion of the war Russian is
willing it is probable Great Britain
would consent to a modification of the
treaty which would open the Darda
nelles to all powers alike.

PRINCE OF ITALY BAPTIZED.
Brilliant Scene at Ceremony in the
Quirinal at Rome.

Quirinal at Rome.
Rome-The crown prince of Italy
was baptized at the Quirinal Sunday.
The weather was showry, but this did
not prevent the gathering of a great
crowd at the palace to witness the
passage of the carriages with their
distinguished occupants.
The ballroom of the Quirinal was
turned into a chapel. The altar stood
at one end of the room, with six gold
en- candlesticks and a crucifix in the
center. Above the altar was a pic
ture which had been taken from the
Quirinal chapel, representing the ma
tivity of the Madonna and child. Above
this was a balcony for the court quin-
tet. On either side of the steps lead
ing to the altar were three pyramids
of exquisite flowers, joined together
by garlands of wall flowers. Before
the altar were rows of gilded chairs
On the left of the altar was a box
for the Princesses Yolande and Mu
falda, and for other children of the
court. Under this, in red brocade
with palms, was another box for diplo
mats whose countries had sent spe
cial representatives such as Great
Britain, Germany, Portugal and Ser
via. The diplomats from other coun
tries were not invited.

THE FIGHT ON METER HILL.
JAPANESE MADE ONE ATTEMPT
AFTER ANOTHER.
Slaughter Was Grim and Terrible on
Both Sldes-Japs, After RepelIing
Fierce Counter Attack by Russian
Reinforcements, Are Left in Pos
session of Forts.

Toxic Dec. 6.-Unofficial details re-
ceived here of the capture of 203
Meter hill show that the struggle be-
gan at l D. m. on November 81, when
the besiegers concentrated the fire of
their heavy guns on the parapets of
Red hill, 300 meters south of 203
Meter hill. After that the infantry,
advancing in widely extended order
from Kinkiatung and Ukistum, reach
ed charging distance. Four consecu-
tive charges were delivered between
and 4 o'clock The fourth succeed
ed but during the night the Russians
made their counter attacks. The third,
which was especially furious, drove
the Japanese back. On the morning
of the 2Sth the Japanese, instead of
advancing by way of Red hill, made a
direct move on 203 Meter hill The
attack began at daylight and was con
tinued with desperate resolution. The
Japanese advanced into the valley be-
tween two hills. They received the
full fire of both forts and were de-
cimated. but sweeping on, stormed the
slopes of 203 Meter hill and captured
the southeast corner of the northern
face.
In the meantime another force
found lodgment near the parapet at
the southwest face. These opera
lions were very costly to both sides
Numerous hand grenades were thrown
by the Russians as well as by the
Japanese. The Twenty Russian
regiment made a furious counter at
tack, and bearing the Japanese back
on the southwest corner, swept down
and poured shells into them which
moved them down.
At 5 p. m. the Russians showed
clear signs of weakening. The Jap
anese made a renewed rush from the
trenches of the southwest corner, but
the Russians did not move. The casu
alties of the assailants were very
heavy. At this critical moment re
serves were sent into the Japanese
fighting line, and with shouts which
rang over the whole of Port Arthur
the assaulters hurled themselve!
against the Russians, who finally. a
1880 p. M, broke into groups of 20 anC
80 retired suddenly. Almost stimuli
taneously the assailants at the south
east angle pushed home their attacl
and the whole fortress was occupied
at 8 p. m.
After this Red hill was carried cas-
lily, but during the same night thu
Russians, whose large reinforcement!
had been summoned by telegraph ant
had arrived just too late, Delivers
six desperate counter attacks, the las
of which continued from o'clock il
the morning until noon. AT first tn
Russians repeatedly closed up to bayo
net distance and there was a serie
of hand to hand struggles, the assai
ants falling back and again advanc
ing. Finally after terrible losses o.
both sides, the Russians retreated t
Ansthan and Estechan, leaving tn
Japanese in assured possession of tn
: stronghold.

to the waste of money in the Philip
pines. putting the cost to us at $780,
00G,000, in addition to the $20,000,000
paid to Spain for the opportunity Of
taking it's place in wasting lives and
money on the Philippines, asserting not
a dollar of it will ever come back to US.
The answers SO far have betrayed de-
. siresto destroy the effect the statement
slfould have To that end an issue is
attempted to be made as to the amount
expended.
'''rhe defenders of this policy of waste
say that | put the figures too high. An
examination of the speeches of senators
and representatives in Congress recently
made, including that Of Senator Hoar
ins the Senate. of the United States May
%, 1892 will show that my statement
OF cost was an under estimate, as it was
intended.
IF they are, then other islands and
other countries may. be added to our pos
sessions until their cost of maintenance
compels every worker in this country to
support soldier and his family as well
as himself and his own.
"The result of this extraordinary in
crease incur expenditures has been to
create deficiency in the annual receipts.
In other words, it is costing more money
now to run the government than we are
taking in. In the last, fiscal year the
revenues fell short over $40,000,000.
I'm the first sixty days of this fiscal
year the expenditures exceeded the re-
cepts by S2A,0c0o0o. How much more
we have run behind since we are not able
to state, owing to the recent administra-
tive orders forbidding government officers
from making public any statement Of es-
Inmates on which future appropriations
are based. 1t is safe to assume from the
making of the orders that there has been
no Improvement; otherwise, the public
would not be denied all information
pending the campaign"
Our administrative officials should re-
turn once more to those sound principles
which formerly were in operation; prin-
ciples which distinguished many adminis-
trations, and now cause us TO speak
with just pride of the admins
tration purity of the fathers; principles
which prompted that portion of Presi-
dent Jackson's inaugural address which
quote in closing, and to which I~beg
your careful attention. He said:
"sThe management of the public rev.
enue-the searching operation in all
Governments among the most deli
cate and important trusts in ours, and
lit wilf Of course demand no inconsider-
able share of my official solicitude. I'm
der every aspect in which it can be CON
sidered it would appear that advantage
must result from the observance of a
strict and faithful economy. This ! shall
aim at more anxiously both because it
will facilitate the extinguishment OF the
national debt, the unnecessary duration
Of which is Incompatible with real in
dependence, and because it will counter
act that tendency to public and private
profigacy which a profuse expenditure
Of money by the Government is but too
apt to epgender.:''

SPEECH TO HUDSOH'S DELEGATION

In the course of his speech to the
Hudson County Democrats, at -Bsopus
yesterday, Judge Parker replied to Secre-
tary of War Taft, who asks that the
| Democrats support their charge of ex-
travagance by specifications.
AS the nominee, standing on the veran7
da Of his home at Rosemount delivered
his charges of mismanagement in yigor-
Gus and eloquentwords, the great throng
of visitors which covered the hillside was
carried away by enthusiasm. Cheers in
! terrupted him continuously and his COM
parsons evoked hearty applause.
Judge Parker's< speech and his person
ality appealed to his hearers. The cheer
ing column of New Jersey men march
ing with beating drums along the road
to Rosemount from the railroad station
had caused the nearby villages to be
emptied The entire countryside flocked
to the grounds, where the band played
Dixie and Rally Round the Flag"
No New York mass meeting could have
presented more stirring picture of cam
paign excitement
Representative Allan Benny presented
the Hudson County Democrats to Judge
Parker. ''The Democrats Of Hudson
County," he said, Journey from home
this morning to pay you a visit. We left
in the most severe rain storm we have
had for years, but the clouds broke away
and the sun came out, just as the smists
that obscured Democracy are about to
be expelled and sunshine is to perch on
our banners
Speaking of the extravaganza of the
present administration Judge Parker
said:A"The figures given not only faise
the presumption of extravaganza, but
they prove it. A further bin of particu-
lars will be furnished as soon as Dem
ocratic Administration has a chance to
look at the books"
The remarks elected cheer after cheer
from the Hudson delegation, and it was
some minutes before the Judge could
continue his address. He added The
inquiry is further made by the admins
tration whether we would dare to reduce
the cost of the army. We answer that
most, assurefly we would, andN> we ask
the people to decide between the admin
istration and the Democratic contention
on that point
In the year 1897 the war department
cost less than $49000,00o, which was
about the average cost per year for the
preceding twenty-six years. This last
year, year of peace, the cost of the
army was Sl15,O00oO0. One of the
questions we now ask the people is,

There are. however. in my mind to-
