WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 6.-Fol-
lowing is the full text of the presidents
message which was read in congress
today:
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tiVes:
The nation continues to enjoy note
worthy prosperity. Such prosperity is of
course primarily due to the high individ-
uaI average of our citizenship, taken to-
gether with our great natural resources;
but an important factor therein is the
working Of our long-continued govern
mental policies. The people have, emphats
ically expressed their approval of the
principles underlying these policies, and
their desire that these principles be kept
substantially unchanged, although of
curse applied in a progressive spirit to
Deet changing conditions.
The enlargement of scope of the func-
lions of the national government required
by cur development as nation involves,
or course. increase of expense; and the
period of prosperity through which the
country is passing justifies expenditures
Tor permanent improvements far greater
than would be wise in hard times. Battle
ships and forts, public buildings, and i'm
proved waterways are investments which
should be made when we have the money;
but abundant revenues. and a large surplus
always invite extravaganza, and con-
stant care should be taken to guard

Try to Recapture the Hill


TOKYO, Dec. 6.-The Russians are
nightly attacking 2O3 Metre Hill in an
endeavor to retake the summit of the
ground in contention. The Japanese
are increasing their defences on the
position and have succeeded so far in
repelling all the assaults. The Russians
have suffered the heaviest losses and it
is estimated that they have sacrificed
three thousand men in their effort to
recapture the ground, which the Jap
anese are confident in their ability to
hold. Observations indicate that the,
garrison is feeling the shortage of men.
The works against Sungshu mountain
and the forts to the eastward are pre-
crossing speedily and all indications
point to an early general assault al
though the date when 1t will begin is
kept secret. 1t is expected that the
next assault will prove successful
The effective bombardment of the
Russian battleships in Port Arthur
which began on Saturday last was one
Of the results of the capture of 203
Metre Hill. Up to that time the war
ships had been able to seek shelter
from the Japanese fire under Peiyu
mountain, but the capture of 203
Metre Hill November 90 80 enabled the
japanese to train their guns on the
Russian vessels with the result that a
number of them have been set on fire
and the others must either put to sea
or suffer irreparable damage.

against unnecessary increase of the ordi-
nary expenses of government. The cost
of doing government business should be
regulated with the same rigid scrutiny as
the cost of doing private business.
In the vast and complicated mechanism
of our modern civilized life the dominant
note is the note of Industriailsm; and the
relations of capital and labor and espe-
eially of organized capital and organized
labor, to each other and to the public at
large come second in Importance only to
the intimate questions of family life. Our
peculiar form of government, with its
sharp division Of authority between the
nation and the several states, has been
on the whole far more advantageous to
our development than a more strongly
centralized government. But it is un--
doubtedly responsible for much of the.
difficulty of meeting with adequate legis--
lation the new problems presented by the
total change in industrial conditions on
this continent during the last half cen
tury. In actual practice it has proved ex-.
ceedingly difficult, and in many cases inn
possible, to get unanimity of wise action
among the various states on these sub
jects. From the very nature of the case
this is especially true of the laws af-
fecting the employment Of capital in huge
masses.
With regard to labor the problem is no
less important, but it is simpler. As long

HFNNEPIN MEMBERS
ARE FOR GILF|LLAN
House Delegation Endorses His
Candidacy and Senators
viii Follow

With one negative vote the Henne-
pin county house delegation of fifteen
last night tied itself to the candidacy
of J. B. GiIfllan for the United States
senate.
J. G. Lund, of the Forty-fourth SEN
atorial district, is said to have been
the only member of the delegation who
voted against the Gilfillan candidacy.
1t is announced that the house dele
cation will meet with the Hennepin
county senatorial delegation of six
tonight, and that the full delegation
viii go to Gilfillan.
The meeting was held at the Office
of ". w. Bardwen, chairman of the
Hennepin county steering committee,
and few people. aside from those direct
" concerned were aware that such a
meeting was scheduled.
Task Was a Hard One
The action of the house delegation
came after a great deal of solicitation,
it is said, on the part of Gilfllan and
his friends among the Minneapolis
men who stand for. his candidacy. The
Hennepin members who have been in
st. Paul during the past few days
meeting country members have all de-
MED that they We're committed to Gill
fillan. They have said they were for
a Minneapolis man, but not necessarily
for Gil6llan, and several of the MEM
bers have insisted that they would
not go into district caucus and pledge
themselves to support him in the joint
caucus which will decide the senatorial
question.
The attitude of a number of the Hep
nepin county members towards Gil-
fllan has been a counterpart of that
of some of the Ramsey county menu
bers toward Senator CIapp. They are
for Gilfllan as against ST. Paul man.,
and the ST Paul men who are luke
warm for Ciapp are for him in pref
erence to a Minneapolis candidate

WHEAT RfIMPORTED.

Special to The Globe
z NEW YORK, Dec. 6. - The most
striking evidence yet received of the
scarcity of milling wheat is contained
in the announcement that 10000 bush
els of American wheat, now at Ant
werp, are to be reimported into this
country by McLaren & Muir. The sale
was on private terms.
This sale is said to be the first trans
action of the kind on record when, as
the result of. market conditions and
not of a corner, American grown wheat
is brought back, and this time the
grain is brought back for milling pur-
poses. and not to fill contracts.

WILL PUSH WORK ON
RIVER AND HARBOR BILL

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. 6.-An
effort is to be made to perfect a river
and harbor bill during the next ten
days and to get it into the house before
the holidays Representative Bede was
informed today that it would be un-
necessary for the Mississippi river i'm
provement people to appear before the
committee. A bin of moderate dinen-
sions will be framed and it is hoped to
get it through.
The best opinion at present is that a
bill will be framed to carry about $780,
100000, the disbursement of the funds
to extend over a period of about three
years. The prospect of favorable ac-
ton on the scheme for improving the
Mississippi river above st. Paul is not
very bright. Walter E. Clark.

FIVE FOUND GUILTY
OF LAND FRAUDS
Butthe JuryAcquits Miss Ware
on Instructions by the
Court

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 6.-The jury
in the land fraud case, which has been
occupying the attention of Judge Bel
Gnger's court for over two weeks, to-
day brought in a verdict of guilty for
: all the defendants with the exception
of Miss Marie Ware, after forty-five
minutes deliberation. No recommend
ations as to punishment were made.
Miss Ware was acquitted following in
structions by the court. The verdict
|. follows:
1--WE. the jury, find the defendants
Emma Il. Watson, S. A. d. Puter,
Horace G. Mckinley, D. w. Tarpley
and Frank Fl. Wolgamot guilty of the
crime of conspiracy to defraud the
government out of a part of its public
lands situated in township IL south
of range east, as charged. We find
the defendant Marie L. Ware not
guilty"
Mr.. Hall asked that the defendants
be placed under additional bonds in
this case, but the court decided that
would be ample, and therefore ordered
that such security be given. This will
place the defendants each under $4,-

RUSSIANS CALL LATE.
REPORTS MISLEADING
They Declare Their Fleet Can Still
Find Shelter Even If the Japs Do
Possess 2O3 Meter HiII---Prospect
of a General Engagement Near
Mukden Is Considered Past

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. Al
though the war Office and the admir-
atty are still without direct news from
Port Arthur, confidence in the ability
of the fortress to hold out continues
to be expressed. The reports from
Tokyo of the shelling of the battle
ships and of heavy losses by the Rus
slams in an ineffective attempt to re-
capture 203 Meter hill are considered
misleading. According to high Of
fieer of the general staff. the warships
would be able to seek shelter from the
fire from. 203 Meter hill by anchoring
behind the Tigers Tail peninsula. Re-
ports that the Russians are clearing
the mine fields outside the harbor are
regarded as the best indication that
the squadron is preparing to move out
to this anchorage, where it will be Sc
cure under the protection of the shore
batteries.
An artillery officer who knows Port
Arthur thoroughly expresses the belief
that the japanese will be unable to
hold 4he summit of 203 Meter hill on
account Of the Antse and Else
forts, which are less than two miles
distant This officer declares that it
will be impossible for the Japanese to
mount guns at the top of 203 Meter hill
until the ammunition of the Antse and
Else forts is exhausted.
The Tokyo estimate that the Rus
slams lost 5000 men in the attempt
to recapture 203 Meter Hill is declared
to be absurd. and it is pointed out
that such loss would imply the yir-
tua1 Gripping of the resistance, yet
the reports from Tokyo admit that
Gen. Stoessel continues ito make coun
ter attacks.
Jap Defeat Not Confirmed
MUKDEN, Dec. 6.-The report that
Gen. Rennenkampff has administered
a heavy defeat to the Japanese con-
tinues to circulate among the Russian
troops. but has not yet been officially
confirmed. To the earlier rumor men
toned above there is added the report
that the Russians have succeeded in
carrying off twenty -four guns which
they captured in the rout of the Japa-
nese, but were at first unable to re-
move owing to a cross fire from the
Japanese forces.
