 St. Petersburg. December 3.-With the nese have occupied 2OS Meter hill, and the report that the Russians unsuceessfully attempted it's recapture, officials at the war office are beginning to prepare them selves for the inevitable Golden Hlll and l.iaoti Hill are higher and dominate 2OS Meter Hill, but the officials say that if the Japanese succeed in mounting heavy guns upon the latter it probably will be only question of days or weeks before the fortress falls.
 Still there is not the slightest idea among General Stoessels friends that he will surrender, even if he should be or dered to do so. It Is hinted that 1t is pos sible that if the fall of the fortress is shown to be inevitable, the emperor may direct its adrreraei order to prevent the unnecessary sacrifice of the remnants [ of it's brave defenders bu. it is believed by those who know General Stoessel best that he will literally make good his threat to hold out to the last man and the last cartridge in Port Arthur.
 The ships in the harbor 1t can now be stated on high authority are in no con- dlton to attempt to break through the in. vesting squadron The guns of the war. ships were long ago landed. and the ma. rines and sailors have participated in the land defense. Some of the ships also have been injured by shells If the fortress falls it is understood they will be taken out. side and sunk in deep water in order tc ba of of service to the enemy.
 Want to Send More Vessels.
 The question of the advisability of re. inforcing Vice Admiral Rojestvenslxy' l squadron with the Black Sea fleet is again being agitated by some of the pa | pers. notably the Novoe vremya, which points out that with the addition of the Black sea vessels, Rojestvensky will have a superiority which will insure vic. | tory over Admiral Togos fleet. The Novoe Vremya calls attention tc | the fact that Japan was not one of the 1 signatories of the treaty closing the Dar- | daneles, and asserts mat if Japan had l the power she might force an entrance | into the Black sea and engage the Rus l sian fleet. Conversely, the paper contin- ues, with the consent of the porte, there | is nothing in the treaty to prevent the exit of the Black sea fleet to fight some 1 power which is in no wise involved ir | the treaty It Is argued that Great Brit ain is the only power which might att | tempt to make trouble over the juncture | O. the two fleets. The project was warm | lS advocated by some officers of the ad- miralty before the war, but It never was | sanctioned. and the admiralty does not | admit that the subject has been revived oft bon f ha afors, off aHv l that any pressure is being exercised to secure the consent of the porte for the passage of the -Jardanelles by the Black | sea fleet.

Affairs Will bt Closed Up by Federal Court Under the
 Bankruptcy Law
MUCH TALKED OF WOMAN
 MAKES TRIP ID WALL ST.
Curious Crowd Follows Her and She Makes Escape From Them By Climbing Across Roofs of
 Buildings.

Cleveland. O., December 2.-Jacques Krakauer of New York. filed petition in involuntary bankruptcy against Mrs. c. L. Chadwick, in the federal court here today. Krakauer is a dealer in faces and embroidery He claims $500 to be due him from Mrs. Chadwick.
 The names of George Couch, a livery man of this city, and H. F. Potter, merchant were also assigned to the pe- tition on claims of $500 and $2OO respec- lively.
 Later in the day Latham Loeser was appointed receiver for all property of every kind and description belonging to Mrs. Chadwick The receiver was ap- pointed by Referee Harold Remington. who was empowered to act in the absence of United States District Judge Wing. Referee Remington fixed the bond of MT. Loeser at S10,0G0. The latter is an attor- ney of this city. The plaintiffs in their petition declare that within four months preceding the filing of this petition, while insolvent Mrs Chadwick paid to D. Wheaton G. Son, of Cleveland, with in tent to prefer Wheaton over other cred itors"
 The Wheatons are neat dealers.
 Will Close Up Affairs.
 The adjudication under bankruptcy law of Mrs. Chadwick's affairs will mean their full closing up. It will force 2. settlement and complete stoppal of further opera tons by Mrs. Chadwick, and involve complete investigation, exposure and final distribution of her property among the various creditors.
 The petition filed today against Mrs. Chadwick in behalf of Jacques Krakauer of New York and others in Cleveland for involuntary bankruptcy, makes the claim that Mrs Chadwick had committed an act of bankruptcy, indicating insolvency four months ago by transferring to the Savings Deposit Bank and Trust company of Elyra chattel mortgage Upon her personal property at her home on Euclid avenue Cleveland. Under the bankruptcy law any money paid upon debt within six months previous to the filing of the petition in bankruptcy Is consit cred to mean chat the bankrupt prefers them to other creditors. The law also allows the receiver to collect from such creditors any money or va1uables received, and dis tribute them among other creditors, all being alike, receiving the same percentage of the assets found according to the amount of their claims.
