SW0RDSMEN ARE
NOT EFFICIENT
Russians Evidently POited the

TRIED TO RETAKE METER HILL
REPORT THAT RUSSIANS MET
WITH HEAVY LOSS.

TOXIC, Dec. . C1 a m)-Imperial
headquarters makes the ANNOUNCE
ment that seventeen officers have
been killed and sixty-four wounded in
the field, but does not mention the
place. 1t is presumed that it was at
Port Arthur
The details of the attack Of the
swOrdsmen at Port Arthur are un-
known here. ana a difference Of opin-
ION exists as TO whether any OF the
attacking parties were armed exclu-
sively with swords Possibly many of
the soldiers carried swords in addition
to their bayOnets, for the Japanese
retain much ancient respect for the
sword and continue training with it,
despite the opposition of the ofictrs
Of the newer school.
The results of this sword attack were
evidently negative. The wounded leg
OF General Nakamura has been ampu-
tated. The party under General SaitO
retired and did not press the attack
IL Is reported here that the Rus
slams have attempted 10 retake 203-
Metre han. They assembled d strong
force and assaulted the position, but
were repulsed with a heavy loss.
The Japanese. finding sailors among
the Russian dead, believe that if men
from the feet are employed in making
sorties the complement Of the forts
must be falling short.
The fact that the Russians are for
trying the positions available between
Lao tt and MantaO mountains in
creases the belief thar they viii make

GROWING DEFICIENCY.
Rural Free Delivery Service Is Held
Responsible.

Washington, Dec. Am increase in

previous year rs shown by the finan-
cial statement for the postal service
incorporated In the annual report of
z. G. Madden. third assistant post
master general. for the fiscal year end
ing June 30. 1904 The report shows,
however, that the increase in eXpendi-
lures is on account of the rural free
delivery service. Were il not for this
extraordinary expenditure the postal
service now would be about self-sus-
tanning. The total receipts from all
sources for the fiscal year we're S143,-

go. 116. leaving a deficit OF SS,719, 1872
The deficiency FOR the previous year
was $4.J60.444. Mr.. Madden says:
1T is believed that DIS soon as the
rural free delivery service is fully es-
tablished the increase in the expendi-
lures on account of that service each
year will not be more than the nor
nal increase for other items Of the
service. and that within a short time
