been awaited with keen interest
by the cotton trade. both because

Japanese Big Guns Dominate
Port Arthur Harbor.
STOESSEL trieste TAKE METER HILL
Defenders Have Landed Many Heavy
Caliber Guns From War Vessels
Russian victory Reported
mt Mulkden.

LONDON, Dec. GA dispatch from
Chefu this morning says: Heavy fir
ing continues at Port, Arthur. The
Japanese are making most determined
and persistent efforts to capture the
northern forts"
Advices from the japanese forces be-
sieging Port Arthur say that the troops
have mounted siege. and naval guns on
Two Hundred and Three Meter hill,
the emincnce west of the town which
was captured last Wednesday night.
With these they are heavily lombard
ing the Russian fleet in the harbor.
Thirteen shells have struck the Rus
sian battleship Peresviet. Other war
ships of the squadron are in flames.
The Russians are still attempting to
%rccapture Two Hundred and Three Me-
ter hill They are now apparently
massing their forces in that direction
from the eastern and northern forts.
Evidently the position, though it was
not a permanently fortified one, is o n
sidered worth the risk of diminishing
the garrison to the utmost in attempts
to recover it.
An officer who has just returned to
Tokyo from Fort Arthur says that
when he left the Russians were land
ing the heavy guns from the ships of
war in the harbor preparatory to blow
ing up the ships.
Tokyo advices say that preparations
for meeting the'Russian warships are
progressing on a most extensive scale,
particularly in the case of the navy,
which is confident of solving the prob
lem under fair conditions.
A special from Mukden says that the
force of Japanese sent to turn General
Rennenkampf's flank has been re-
pulsed with great loss. The story is
not yet officially confirmed. 1t is stated
that General Rennenkampf. who knew
the movement vas maturing, awaited
the Japanese at the mouth of one of
the captured passes and that the Japa-
nese turning force threw themselves
unsuspectingly into the ambuscade,
where after the fight the Russians col
lected 800 japanese corpses. 1t is add
ed that there are a thousand more Jap
anese corpses which it has been impos-
sible to collect owing to the fire of the
Japanese. This does not include the
Japanese loss in wounded. The Rus
sian loss, according to this account,
was only thirty or forty men.
The reports that France has given
adhesion to Russian overtures for a
modification of the treaty of Paris so
as to permit the Black sea fleet to pass
through the Dardanelles are officially
denied.
A cable from st. Petersburg says
that the Russians are clamoring for
the release of the Black sea fleet
whether the powers assent to its pass
ing the Dardanelles or not.

SOCIALIST VOTE
IN new JERSEY.
Canvass of Returns Furnishes
Food for Reflection to the
Tnoughtfu'.

The over whelming puralities for the
Presidential electors and the Gubernatori-
al candidate on the Republican ticket were
not-the only surprises of the recent cleo
ton In this State. Another factor which
furnished food for reflection to the
thoughtful since the vote as officially
capvassed last week was the great stride
forward of the Socialist party, which
cast 9,5S7 votes, and hereby becomes
tie undispute1 third party in this State.
1t is difficult to compare this vote with
that Of four years CO., because there was
no distinctly Socialist ticket In the field
in 1900. There was, however, a Social
Democratic ticket and a Social Labor
ticket, which together polled 1888 votes.
Moreover, there was a Socialist Labor
ticket i, the field this year, which polled
1850 votes. If this is added to the vote
of the Socialists it will make 12s267 votes
cast by those of all shades of Socialism,
or 5, 5s4-almost 100 per cent. more thar
the polled four years ago. And this gain
OF almost 100 per cent. was made when
the increase in the number Of names on
the pollbooks.-was only..a trifle over eight
per cent.
The Socialists secured their largest vote
In Hudson, where they polled 1850.
They were not far behind in Essex, where
they secured 2, 40, while Passaic came
next with 1,017. They polled some ballots
In; every county, and the smallest number
they obtained was cast in Salem, where
the vote was is.
The Prohibitionists failed to maintain
their claim to being the third party by
not only polling Z, 1874 votes less than their
Socialists opponents did, but by falling
below their vote of four years g %. 10
the Presidential election of 1900 the Pro
hibitionists cast 7,1s3 ballots, while this
year they polled 6,845. Their vote ran
more even throughout the State than the
other smaller tickets, their highest being
$50 and the Iowest.l22. Essex was the
banner Prohibition county, casting the
highest vote for that ticket. while Cape
May polled the smallest. Camden was
second, with $50, while Hudson gave
37a for the electors and 401- to the Guber-
Material candidate. This no d u5t was
due to the fact that the G~ubernatorial
candidate is a popular clergyman OF Jer-
sey City. Passaic. the home of the
Modern Father Mathew" as Dean Me-
Nulty is sometimes called, gave the cold
