A POSSIBLE EFFECT.
Without Public Building Bill Drafts
men Might Be Dropped.

A new influence in favor of the passage
of general public building bill at the pres
ent session of Congress may be discovered
at the treasury. The supervising architects
office employees force of nearly 300. includ-
ing 100 craftsmen. These will be out of
work, practically speaking, early in the new
year, unless Congress passes new bill.
Craftsmen. unlike treasury employees. can
not be transferred to the internal revenue
bureau to perform routine clerical work
and apparently the force would have to be
reduced. This was the understanding when
the extra men were taken on, following the
great increase in these appropriations two
years ago. Uncle Sam, however, does not
as a rule dismiss his employees. but instead
finds more work for them to do. The
chances of a passage of a general public
building bill are regarded as about even, in
advance of the Speakers disclosure of his
purposes.

JAPAN's CREDIT EXCELLENT.
English Money at Her Demand-Ro-
iestvensky's Mission East.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, December 1o.-A cablegram
from London says that the practical de-
structlon of the Ru sian power at Port
Arthur will enable Japan to borrow all the
money she requires to continue the war
German bankers have maintained that
Japan would be unable to continue the
struggle because her resources could not
hold out But the loss of the Port Arthur
fleet puts an entirely different phase on the
situation. Whether the Baltic fleet reaches
the far east or not the situation Is the
same Japan can now get all the money she
wants In England.
Admiral Rojestvensky's curious process
sion of war craft now excites considerable
amusement In Great Britain. Whlie at
neutral ports en- route to the far east no
one on board the vessels appeared to nave
any Intelligent idea as to the character ana
sphere of their action. They seemed simply
content to know that they were to meet the
enemy, and confident OF rendering excellent
account of themselves.
Port Arthur they declared would hold
out and even supposing 1t did not, Its faii
would be immaterial as far as regards the
opera tons of the Baltic fleet. Officers ana
crews of Russian ships seemed in the best
of spirits They invariably expressed the
settled conviction that they were capaple
of stemminG the tide of their country 3
misfortunes. and that with the advent or
struggle would assume a totally different
complexion.
Togo Ready for Attack.
Whether the car has ordered the fleet to
return or not. all necessary steps are being
taken to enable Admiral Togo to secure
great victory at sea- providing the Russian
ships come within his reach. On supreme
command of the sea. and. therefore, on
disastrous and final defeat thereon OF Rus
slams all future success on land piVots.
If Togo is confident of being able to put
to sea with a force greatly superior to any
thing that Russia can array against MIN
and vet leave watch dogs to keep out sup
plies from the furnishing garrison at Fort
Arthur there seems no need for any hur-
rying siege operations.
Assuming that the story that the besieg-
ers have now resolved to SlaCken in herce-
ness their onslaught and to await slower
process of famine is true. explanation or IL
must be that Tokyo authorities are salts
fled that they will be able to maintain the
blockade and yet deal triumphantly with
an invasion of the sea of Japan.
They may, perhaps, know that actual ex-
haustion of resources Of garrison Is so near
at hand that the place must yield before a
decisive moment for naval action arrives.
