New York. December 29.-Chaun-
cey Depew of New York, will succeed
himself for a term of six years as
United States senator from the state
OF New York continuing as the col
league Of Senator Thomas c. PIatt
who has still four years TO serve. The
formal announcement of this conclu-
sion was made late this afternoon at
the Fifth Avenue hotel by Governor
Odell as chairman OF the Republican
state committee and came as the cul-
mination Of a series Of conferences
by prominent Republicans extending
over several weeks and practically
continuous during the past three days.
Purport OF the announcement is that
the candidacy of former Governor
Frank S. Black of Troy, which has
been warmly pressed by his friends
that up to the past fortnight or more
is to be withdrawn and that the name
OF Senator DepeW will be the only
one presented to the caucus Of Re-
publican legislators which will select
the Darty's candidate for senator.
Governor Odelrs formal announce
ment which is regarded as closing the
controversy on the subject, gives it
as his conclusion that party harmony
will be best subserved by the re-eIec-
ton of Senator Depew', comedies that
the sentiment favoring his selection
is very strong throughout the state
and declares that "It would have been
the worst kind Of party generalship
to have run counter to: this expressed
public opinion. .--.,.
Later in the afternoon a letter was
given out addressed by Mr. Black
himself to Senator Depew in which
the former governor withdraws his
name from further consideration for
the senatorship and declares that ir
this course his duty as a Republican
and his private sentiment coincide
for he protests that his private inter-
ests and personal tastes have both
been distinctly against entering a
contest or even accepting public Of
flee even if it came withous contro-
versy."
In graceful letter of reply Sen
ator Depew thanks Mr.. Black for his
cordial sentiments and declares that
the former governors action places
the party under great obligation to

THE FALL RIVER STRIKE.
Various Unions to Meet and Vote on
Question of Ending or Continuing
the Struggle.

Fall River, Mass, December 2s.-
Renewed interests in the great cotton
mill strike which has been in ezet-
ence here since July 25th. was Great
ed today by an announcement from
the textile council that it had called
mass meetings Of the various unions
for tomorrow afternoon when they
will be asked to vote by ballot on the
question of ending or continuing the
struggle.
The union leaders said they called
the meetings not because the opera
tives were weak but because of their
desire TO obtain a direct expression Of
opinion on the situation.
f Joseph 6. Jackson, secretary Of the
slasfer tenders said great restless
ness among the operatives has re-
suited from the American Federation
Eof Labor assessment affairs. '"Ihe
strikers" he said, believed the fed
Grafton would carry the strike along.
The s!owness of the federation in the
matter of sending money caused many
to become disheartened.'
The manufacturers are still firm on
their determination TO enforce the re-
duction of 12 1-2 per cent but should
the cut down be accomplished IL is un-
derstood the mill owners will agree
to adjust minor grievances.

that Charles E. Dodge the former hus~
band of Mrs. Clarence Dodge Morse,

ment. since Dodge's arrival here from
Texas he has been held practically q
prisoner in the Broadway Central Hotel,

ing perjury In connection with the
Dodge-Morse divorce case.
In his announcement today District
Attorney Jerome said:
"As yet Dodge has made no confess
sion and We will not take any state

| dition warrants him in making one.
He is not a state witness yet and until

Rihlung Fort, situated on Rihlung
mountain, formed part of the inner cir
Gle Of the chain of forts defending Port
Arthur. Rihlung IS situated about two
miles from the outskirts of the town OF
Port Arthur, from which it bears due
northeast. The fort just captured is a
mile and half southeast of Keekwan
fort, recently captured by the Japanese
The possession of these two forts make
an important breach in the fortifica-
tions of Port Arthur and cut off COM
munications between the Golden Hill
forts and those of the western section
of the inner circle Notifications.
From Rjhlung mountain, which is
nearly opposite 203 Meter Hill, it will
appear that the Japanese fire viii be
able to reach anything in the harbor
and town which the Japanese heavy
guns on 203 Meter Hill are unable to
hit, thus making it apparently impos-
sible for the Russian second Pacific
squadron to make any use of Port Ar
thur even should the Japanese content
themselves with holding the strong po-
sitions they now occupy.
Toxic, December 29.-Noon-After
months Of fighting, sapping and mining
the japanese forces finally occupied
Rihlung mountain last night December
2Sth).
A report received from headquarters
of the third Japanese army before Port
Arthur received here on Wednesday,
December 18th at midnight says:
"On "wednesday, December 18th. at
10 o'clock in the morning the left center
column of our army. following some
heavy explosions on the frontal parapet
OF Rihlung mountain charged and occu-
pied the parapet under cover of fire
from heavy and constructed defense
works despite the enemy's fierce fire.
T'At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when
our occupation was practically assured,
we charged and occupied the inner lines
of heavy gun positions, subsequently
dislodging a remnant of the enemy's
force stubbornly holding the gorge fort,
we occupied and captured the entire
works.

little things are just as essential to
make success as the greater things.
So do not let us become discouraged
because we cannot do more, but do
with all our might the little things
assigned us by a loving Fathers
hand. It is easy to speak a few
words of sympathy and encourage
ment to one who is burdened with
sin and in despair. [ believe God
would have us as His children to
strive to lift up the fallen and lead
the erring ones to Christ who died
for us, and will give us strength to
perform every duty He gives US and
will bless every effort put forth for
His glory. So let us, with His help,
keep our hearts pure and our con-
science clear, so that our heritage
shall be true hearts to love us here,
