II think the farther you get away from the people the greater the danger of abuse, Is the way one man puts 1t. and tliis view of the question appears to be pretty gen eral, but whether. 1t will have any, thing to do i'll determining what shall be done in the premises is something which the public will not know until later on.
 Political advantage, 1t Is thought, will cut quite swath in the, affair, and inasmuch as the republicans hold the key to the situation, both here and at Hartford, 1t Is safe to predict that if the politicians have their own way something will be done towards mak- ing permanent fixtures of as many of the favored ones as can be reached. The only thing standing in the way or q legislative enactment which would disqualify anybody not of the republi- can crowd from holding office in Wa terbury. whether in the schools or else- where, is public sentiment.

RECEIVED WITH CHEERS.

Tokio, Dec 1.-GeneraI Nogi's tele- gram announcing the storming and capture of ..2OS- Meter hills' was re. eeived with cheers by the Japanese people. It reyives the hope of an early capture of Port Arthur proper. The people have never despaired of the success of the besiegers, but the forti- tude of the defenders and the pro longation of the siege which exceeds by months the most liberal preliminary estimate of the time required to ac. rompllsh the reduction of this strong. hold has been a source of deep regret, combined with the loss of life and dis appointments over the fact that the siege has occupied such large force IDf men, decreasing Field Marshai 0yama's strength at a time when le needed every available man.
 To-day was the date set under the Transcription act. when recruits could loin the army. Cheered by the news from General Nogi, thousands of re cruits throughout the elupire marched to barracks and donned uniforms for the first time. Following an honoreo custom the relatives of the recruits carrying flags and banners escorted the new soldiers to their barracks. Ih TOkio to-day there have been scores Of little processions eseorting detach ments of popular conscripts. The number of men who have joined the eolors to-day under the conscriptioh act, has not been made public.

St Petersburg, Dec 1.-The war of ice here Is not yet prepared to accept the report that the Japanese before Port Arthur have taken 23-Meter hill, but if 1t is subsequently officially con firmed the war office admits that It will be. desperate blow for the gal lant defenders of the fortress. Ihe position commands the harbora and IT the Japanese can mount siege guns on its summit they can force out the Rns- sian squadron or destroy 1t nt it's sn-. chorage. Those familiar with the sup. porting plans of the forts think 1t is by no means certain that even though the Russians are forced to retire from 23-Meter hill the Japanese can place ih position heavy guns against the lire which the other forts can bring to bear on 1t. Still the war office officials re- Iuctantly agree that such a breach h the chain renders the position extreme ly critical and though the garrison might be able to mold out in the Golden hill. Tigers Tail and Liaotie forts Tor some time, it may mark the beginning of the end. The war office is convinced that with the approach of the Kusslai. second Pacific squadron the Japanese considered that the elimination of the Port Arthur squadron as fighting Factor was absolutely vital, thus ac- counting for the reckless sacrifice of life in order to secure a position di- ,rectly commanding the harbor.
 UNIVERSALLY COMMENDED. {
 St Petersburg Dec l--There is uni versal 'commendation of the prompt ness with which Russia accepted the American arbitration treaty proposal but beyond expressions of satisfaction at the fact that it will bind the two countries closer together the papers induiged in little comment, the only exception being the Bourse Gazette, which declares. the understanding will dispel the falsehoods regarding Amer ican- Russian relations. Russia's vic tory in the far east. the paper con- 7 tends. is just as necessary for the United States as for Russia's. ally, France, and her friend, Germany. Mutual ties between France, the United States and Russia, argues the Bourse Gazette, will tend to isolate Great Britain, the real breeder of tn- 'ternational strife whose lingo amei-. tons, the paper declares, are the real menace to the peace of the world.
