gale piling up heavy sea. Peter Mis-

miles of water To the Michigan shore.
Although a watch was kept at every
port from South Chicago TO Grand Ha-

strange craft had been received this
morning. Nissen's friends in Chicago
declared their belief that the man who
went through the Niagara rapids in
small boat had reached the shore i'm

however said the chances were that
the "Foolkiller" and it's skipper had
gone down in the gale.

Report Comes of an Important Posi-

Toxic, Nov. 30.-The emperor for
mally opened the second war diet to-
day. The emperor read an address,
which, after stating that the ministers
of state would submit to parliament a
scheme for meeting the extraordinary
expenditures necessitated by the war,
continued:
Succession of Victories.
Our expeditionary forces have
been victorious in every battle; have
repeatedly shown fresh proofs of their
loyalty and bravery so that the prog
Tess of the war has been so constantly
to our advantage that We expect by
the loyal devotion of our subjects TO
attain our ultimate object, and we call
upon you to discharge your duies
by harmonious cooperation thereby
promoting our wishes and ends
OI>u Has Little to DO.
Oku's Headquarters. via Fusan. Nov.
29.-The position of the two armies is
practically unchanged. There has
been no fighting save outpost scouting
skirmishes and occasi. nal Russian
bombardments which are usually un-
answered. Neither side shows indica-
tions of moving. The Japanese are
not affected by the increasing cold
weather.
Still Battle RaEes.
Chefoo. Nov. 30.-Chinese who left
Port Dalny the 2Sth arrived here to-
day. They say the fighting at Port
Arthur continues. They heard firing
the Goth while at sea.
Japs Command HarbOr.
ST. Petersburg. Nov. 30.-Foreign re-
ports of the fighting at Port Arthur are
accepted here seriously. If the Jap
anese have taken Two Hundred and
Three Meter hill, as reported, and are
commanding the whole harbor, 1t is be-
lieved that the situation is critical.
Experts on Port Arthur topography as
sert, however, that it is more likely
that the Japanese have occupied some
positions at the base of the hill, and
believe that with the concentrated fire
of the covering forts the Japanese will
find the top of the hill untenable, if
they arrive there.
Sail to Meet Russians.
Vienna, Nov. 30.-The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Neue Freie Presse
says three Japanese cruisers and 15
torpedo boats have sailed from Sasebo
under secret orders. They took a
southerly course. II is supposed they
have gone to meet the Baltic feet.
