WANT STOKES'S SHOES.

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News'')
TRENTON, Dec. 5. 1904-Among
the political guesses as. to the probable
successors to E. c. Stokes as Clerk in
Chancery two new names are mentioned.
They are those Of Charles n. Codding,
Deputy Supreme Court Clerk, and G. E..
Breckenridge of Bergen County, mem
Der Of the Republican State Committee.
Mr.. Codding, it is said. has the sup
port of former Governor Voorhees, and
Congressman Fowler, both of whom are
close to Governor-elect Stokes, personal
ly and politically. Mr.. Codding is a
lawyer by profession and distinguished
himself in the Legislature by champion
ing the anti-race track law.
Mr.. Breckenridge is said to have the
endorsement OF former Assistant Post
master General William NJ johnson,
chairman Of the last Republican State
Convention.
The intimate relationship existing be-
tween Governor-e1eet Stokes and Mr..
johnson is such that any candidate
whom the latter favors can be consid-
cred in the running.

ENGLAND STOPS COAL.

LONDON, Dec. 4, 19o4-The Ger
man steamer which was ordered TO cease
taking ON board coal at Cardiff is the
Captain W. Mcneil. She already has
400 tons on board, portion of which
will have to be discharged. IT is under
stood that the Government received
proof that the previous cargo taken from
Cardiff by the steamer was delivered to
the Russian Baltic fleet at sea. and the
vessel is now regarded as a store ship
and an integral part Of the Russian fleet.
The question of contraband is not in
direct, when the coal is not delivered to
warships, are not affected.

FORCED BACK.
Russians Repelled by the
Japanese in Their At
tempts to Retake
Metre Hill.

TOXIC, Dec. 4, 19o4-The Russians
are still attempting to retake 203-Metre
Hill at Port Arthur, but their latest at
taeks have been weaker, and the storm
ing parties apparently smaller.
The Japanese occupation is now se-.
cure.
LONDON, Dec. 5.-The Toxic cores
pondent of the s.Times'' sends unofficial
accounts of the capture of 2O3 Metre
Hill. He says the struggle began at i.
p. NJ, Nov. 27, with an attack on Red
Hill. The Japanese were successful af-
ter making fourth charge at s p NJ.
The Russians drove them out at night
after three furious attacks.
On Nov. .2S, the Japanese made a di-
rect move against 203 Metre Hill At
daylight they advanced along the valley
between Red Hill and 2O3 Metre Hill,
and We're deeimated by the fire from
both positions. They swept on, however,
and captured the southeast corner and
northern face of 2O3 Metre Hill. Mean
while another force effected lodgment
near the parapet on the southwest face.
The operations We're very costly, both
sides throwing numerous hand grenades.
AT dawn on Nov. % the Russians
made furious counter attack and bore
back the japanese from the southeast
corner, sweeping them into the valley be-
tween Red and 203-Metre hills. They al
so dislodged the japanese on the south
west face. The latter, however, chung to
their trenches, thirty metres below the
crest. Strong japanese reserves We're
now brought up.
When they reached the fighting line at
dawn on Nov. 30. they renewed the at
tack on the southwest face. The fight
ing was continuous during the forenoon.
The Russians displayed no sign of yield
ing. The Japanese artillery got the ex-
act range early in the afternoon, and
shells moved down the defendeds on the
southwest face, the warships in Pigeon
Bay aiding by their indirect fire.
At 5 p. M. the Russians showed clear
signs of weakening. The Japanese re-
newed their rush from the trenches. but
the Russians did not move. The casual
ties of the japanese were heavy. At this
critical moment the reserves We're pour
ed into the japanese fighting line, and.
with shouts which rung over the whole
of Port Arthur, hurled themselves re-
peatedly at the Russians, who finally,
at 7.30 o'clock, broke into groups of
twenty or thirty and retired sullenly.
Almost simultaneously the Japanese
at the southeast angle pushed home their
attack and the whole fortress was oecu-
pied at s P. NJ. Then, Red Hill was
easily carried. but the same night the
Russians, whose large re-enforcements,
summoned by telephone, had arrived just
too late, delivered six desperate counter
attacks, the sixth lasting from 4 A. NJ.
until noon, December /.

TRENTON, n. J., Dec. 5, 904.-The
New Jersey lawmakers who are as much
interested in securing lucrative legislative
appointments for expectant constituents
as in prospective legislation, were disap-
pointed last Tuesday when informed that
Governor-elect Stokes would insist on a
strict compliance with the law which des-
ignates the number and salaries of all
such officers. Leaders of both Houses
We're given to understand that such
course is necessary to check the unwar-
ranted growth of the legislative officers
payroll, which has increased more than
fifty per cent. in few years, reaching
last session to a total Of $40, 800 or $15.-
$50 in excess of the $3o,15e allowed by
law for this purpose.
This subject was not regulated by
statute until 1895, when, during the SEN

The Jersey City news., 1904-12-05

The act of 1895 provides that the com
pensation named shall be payment in
full for all service rendered. vet pages
are given an additional allowance for
service as postmaster duty perform-
ed by a regular State House employe
who is paid for that work.
During the session, notwithstanding
this large increase in the force of EN-
ployes, members and Senat ators were CON
stantly complaining of lack of attention,
and business on more than one occasion
had to be suspended while neglected files
were being put in shape and missing bills
furnished to the solons.
Another. peculiar feature Of the stu
alton is fhat while the volume Of laws
in 1904 fills only 800 pages (pamphlet) it
required one more assistant in each
House TO handle the bills already printed,
than in 1898, with almost double the
volume Of 900 pages, and all bills en-
crossed By hand, instead Of being print
ed.
To meet the added expense Of the last
session it was necessary to include $16,-
I75 in the supplemental Or deficiency
bill, $l5,35o for salaries
and 1896 for stationery and supplies.
