st. Petersburg, Sept. 2G.-1:O5 pm.
The reorganization of Russian forces
in the Far East by the appointment OF
General Crippenberger to command
the second army, has been received
with much satisfaction by the press.
Even the Novoe Vremya, which has
been urging the promotion of General
KurOpatlxin to the rank of commander.
tn-chief, recognizes the impossibiIity
of confiding the vast host now to be
assembled to the commander of the
forces actually in the field Other
papers warmly endorse the motives for
the formation of the second army and
the evident determination to prosecute
the war with increased vigor.
The Sviet, whose editor, M. Kama.
rolf, formerly was colonel in the
army, and therefore peculiarly fitted
to appreciate che significance of the
new departure, says:
hitherto General Kuropatkin has
been chief of all the land forces In
the Far East. Although enjoying the
fullest independence as a matter OF
fact, he wa sappointed in the charac.
ter of the viceroy's assistant.
"The name Of Grand Duke Nicholas
Nicholsaevitch, inspector general OF
cavalry early in the war, was on
everybody's lips as likely to be made
commander-in-chief, and it continues
to be reported that he will be placed
in command of the Russian forces in
the Far East, but no paper here ven.
lures to publish the rumor pending an
official announcement of his appoint.

Washington, Nov. 30.-An important
meeting Of the cabinet was held dur

have arisen between Great Britain and
Russia over the firing by Admiral Ro.
jestvensky's Baltic feet upon the Brit
ish trawlers in the North sea, and the
other being an opinion rendered by
Attorney General Moody regarding the
legality. under the lottery laws, of
guessing contests" which have been
conducted by many newspapers ana
magazines. A..
The invitation extended to the pres.
ilent by Great Britain and Russia to
name a member of The tribunal was
considered carefully, especially by the
president and Secretaries Hay and
Morton. When the cabinet adjourned
no definite conclusion as to who should
be selected had been reached: but it
was settled definitely that the ap'
pointee would be a rear admiral of the
navy. 1t is practically certain choice
would. be made among the three Off.
cers-Rear Admirals Davis, Chadwick
and Sands. Admiral Dewey was con-
sidered for the appointment and the
desire was generally expressed that he
should have it, but he has let it be un-
derstood that he does not are for the
honor. Announcement of an appoint
ment may be expected in a few days.
Some time ago, on the request OF
Postmaster General Wynne, the presi-
dent directed the attorney general to
submit to him an opinion as to the
propriety, under the law restricting
the operations of lottery enterprises
through the mails, of guessing con
tests Of various kinds which have been
features of many publications for sew:
eral years. That opinion was submit
ted during the day and was turned
over by the president to Postmaster
General Wynne, who hereafter will be
guided in his direction of the depart
nlent by it. The opinion is of a most
sweeping, character and, while the
postmaster general has nc inclination
to work hardship upon anybody. he
will put the attorney generals judg
ment into effect as soon as may be
practicable.
The attorney general says the
schemes are in effect lotteries under
the .guise of guessing contests.

AT GATE OF JERUSALEM.
Active Business Is Carried on by
Small Hucksters.

JeroRe Hart gives the following
sketch of street scenes in Jerusalem:
Just outside the gate on the Jaffa
road. there is a multitude of booths of
small dealers and rows of native cafes
where laborers sit on stools smoking.
There are also large numbers of don
key drivers waiting with their ami
mails for hire Although the wall is a
massive structure and the gate some
fifty feet high, the entrance is narrow,
with a rght-angled turn-one of the
methods adopted in the old days for
defense Through this narrow gate
way there pours an endless stream of
camels, donkeys and footmen all day
long. Without the gate you see JOS
thing camel drivers and camels kneel-
ing to receive their loads. Scores of
hucksters are squatting on the ground
behind their heaps of oranges, dates,
lemons. onions, radishes and other
vegetables There are also many
vendors OF hread-a staple in Jerusa-
lem. as in all the eastern world; 1t is
piled up in stacks, very much as we
handle eordwood here, and with about
as much attention 70 cleanliness.
Many of these hucksters have stock
so small as to be pitiful-some two or
three pounds Of wormy figs, for ex.
ample. worth perhaps five cents
