Report That They Now Occupy 2o3.
Meter Hill.
LONDON-According to q Toxic
dispatch to the Standard there is an
unoficial rumor that the japanese
hauled large caliber guns to the top
of 203 meter hill, from whence their
fire has a sweep of the whole harbOr.
This report doubtless goes beyond
the facts. but various dispatches in
dicate the progress the japanese are
making in the reduction of Port Ar
thur. japanese here explain the great
importance of 2O3 Meter hill, which,
besides giving command Of the har-
Dor. will serve as a wide breach made
by the wedge the japanese had pre-
viously driven in between the Else
group and the Russians last retreat
in the ravines Of Ia0tie mountain.
They declare that retreat to Laotie
will be effectively cut of and that 1t
is not unlikely that Laotie will be ST.
multaneously attacked in the final as
sault.
Bennett Burleigh wires to the Daily
Telegraph from Che Foo that in the
last assault the Japanese lost 1000 in
one hours fighting. They claim to
have cautpred two more of the north
eastern forts and a third. which Is
part of the West Kekwan fort. They
claim. MI. Burleigh adds. to have ef'
fected a Judgement at Pigeon bay,
thus turning the fort on 2O3 Meter hill
and that they are now tunnelling from
the gorge below Laotie hill. which
they hope first to damage and then to
rush. The dispatch continues:

CONGRESS AGAIN
NATIONAL LAWMAKERS ABOUT
TO ASSEMBLE.
Message Of President Mott to BE De.
Iivered Until Second Day-Adjourn.
ment in Memory Of Members Who
Have Died.

WASHINGTON-Little in the way
of legislative business is expected the
first week of the session of congress.
The first day will be devoted to call
ing the roll and swearing in new mem
bers who have been elected to ill va
cancies. The usual committee will
be appointed to inform the president
that congress Is in session and the
resolution notifying the senate that .
quorum of the house is ready for bust
ness will be passed. Tuesday the
presidents message will be read, but
It is not expected that any other bust.
ness will be transacted.
There are q number of minor mat.
tiers OF legislation which may be con-
sidered on Wednesday and on Thurs
day, as no special order has been
made for consideration of any general
measure. 1t is possible that the leg
islative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill may be reported We'd
Iesday or Thursday.
Friday is pension day and there will
be more than a thousand private pen
sion bills ready for the house to con-
slider.
Early adjournments each day are
expected during the first week in or
der to give time to shape the ses-
sion business.
An intimation has been given that
objection may be interpOsed against
administering the oath of Office to j.
Thomas Hefiin, who has been elected
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Representative Thompson of the
Fifth Alabama district. on account of
certain language Heflin is alleged to
have used regarding the president Of
the United States. In case objection
is made there is no doubt there will
be a spirited party debate which
would occupy considerable time.
The first act Of the senate after
converting will be one of respect to
the memory of two distinguished SEN
atOrs whose deaths have occurred
since the adjournment of congress.
Senator Penrose. Immediately after
the senate is called to order, will an
nounce Senator Quay's demise, and
then will give way to- Senator Lodge
to perform a like service in the case
Of Senator Hoar. Adjournment for
the day will follow at ono and will
postpone receipt of the presidents an
nual message until Tuesday. The
document will be received early Tues
day and very little If any further bust
ness beyond its reading and the in
ductiop into once of Messrs. Knox Of
Pennsylvania and Crane OF Massachu-
sets.
For the remainder OF the week ex-
ceedingly brief sessions are expected.
| On Thursday an adjournment will be
taken until the following Monday.
Senator Lodge will press the house
! bill for the amendment Of the Philip
pine government law as soon as it is
practicable to get that measure be-
fore the senate. and has announced
his intention not to brook opposition
to its consideration. The bill has the
vast advantage of being on the calen-
dar as unfinished business, SO that it
cannot easily be displaced. 1t is not
probable. however, that Mr.. Lodge
will now attempt more with reference
to it than to give notice of his inten-
ton to press its adoption.
