whose writ of habeas corpus was dis
missed by the United States supreme
court declares he will not return to
New York. Meanwhile detectives con-
tinually dog his footsteps. officers
Herlihy and jesse, of New York, who
were placed under arrest Monday
night. were released by District Judge
Kdttrell Wednesday after the court
had expressed an opinion concerning
District Attorney Jerome Of New York
and his assistants. The count said the
action OF Mr.. Jerome in sending detec-
tives to Houston to hound Dodge's
footsteps after he had given bail was
a gross insult to the state ofTexas and
1t was to be regretted that Dodge had
not resented the Swallowing" in a
forcible manner. Dodge will remain
here. 1t Is said until the mandate of the
supreme court arrives.

An Officer Says Firing From Two oil
the Forts will Prevent Japs
From Retaining the Top OF
203 Metre Hill.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 7.--Although
the war office and the admiralty are
still without news from Port Arthur,
confidence in the ability Of the fortress
to hold out continues to be expressed
Reports from Toxic Of the Smelling OF
the battleships and of heavy losses by
the Russians in an ineffective attempt
to recapture 203 Metre hill are consid-
cred misleading. According to high
officer of the general staff, the war
ships would be able to seek shelter
from the fire from 203 Metre hill by
anchoring behind the Tigers Tail pen
insuia. Reports that the Russians are
clearing the mine fields outside the
harbor are regarded as the best indi-
cation that the squadron Is preparing
to move out to this anchorage, where
II will be secure under the protection
Of the shore batteries.
An artillery officer, who knows Port
Arthur thoroughly. expresses the be-
lief that the Japanese will be unable to
account of the fire Of the Antse and
Etz forts, which ara less than two
miles distant This officer declares
that 1t will be impossible for the ia
panese to mount guns at the top OF
203 Merte hill until the ammunition OF
the Antse and Etz forts is exhausted
The Toxic estimates that the Rus
slams left 5000 men in the attempt to
recapture 203 Metre hill is declared to
be absurd. and it is pointed out that
such a loss would imply the virtual
Gripping of the resistance. yet the re-
ports from Toxic admit that General
Stoessel continues to make counter at
tacks.
Emperor Nichols will start on Dec
