RESULT or DAY BATTLE
Stoessel's Retreat Said to Be
Cut Off Mikado Rejoices
at Victories.


TOXIC, Dec. i, 1901 The Imperial
Army Headquarters today announced
that the Japanese. troops besesing Port
Arthur are now in possession of 203-
Metre HilI and have General stoessel
and his forces completely at their
mercy.
203-AIetre Hill is the highest point to
the west Of Port Arthur, and the Jap
anese, who have mounted guns of heavy
calibre, cannot only sweep the harbor.
but command the city and every position
held By the remnants of the Russian
forces.
The following is the official report Civ
en- out at Imperial headquarters:
''I'he army began bombardment
against 2o3-AIetre Hill at dawn Novem-
ber 30 and made several charges before
4 o'clock in the afternoon. Owing to the
enemy's stubborn resistance the charges
failed. At O'clock in the afternoon our
force advanced against the southeastern
portion of the hill, made fierce charge
and reached within thirty metres of the
summit. At o'clockss with reinforce
ments, we charged and at s o'clock the
entire fort on the summit fell into our
hands.
"The Russians left heaps of. dead bod
les on the eastern side of the hill, but
we haveshad no time to investigate fur
ther''
It is believed now that General Stoes-
sci will attempt to retreat to the Lao
Tishan forts, the last point Of defense,
but experts here declare he will be cut
off and be compelled to surrender.

BARTENDER DRINKS ACID.

Pedestrians passing along Newark
avenue yesterday afternoon were startled
by the appearance of well dressed man
sitting in an arm chair in front of for
mer Mayor Hoos's furniture store, No.
21 Newark avenue, apparently dying in
great agony and still clutching an empty
vial that smelled strongly of carbolic
acid A policemans attention was called
to. the man and an ambulance summoned.
The man died before reaching the City
Hospital and the body was taken to
Iiughes's morgue. A bank book of the
Provident Institution for Savings, con-
taining the name of James Roe, was
found in one of the inside pockets of the
mans coat. The dead man proved to
be Roe.
For some years Roe had been bar
tender in saloon at Tonnele and st.
Pani's avenues. He was single man
and about thirty years old He had
money deposited in the Provident Saw
ings Bank. For some days past he had
been drinking heavily He gave his
friends no intimation of his intention to
take his life. An hour before he took
the dose Of carbolic acid he entered a
down town cafe, and though he was ac-
quainted with the bartender, he ordered
a drink, drank, and paid for it and
walked out without saying anything.

TRENTON, Nov. 80. 1904. The an
nual report of the State Board Of Tax
alton has been presented to Governor
Franklin Murphy and the document con-
tains an unusual amount of important
information concerning the work of the
department for the past year. The re-.
port was presented to Governor Murphy
by the members Of the commission in
person. The members of the board are
Henry J. West, of Gloucester City;
Charles G. Black, of Jersey City; Carl
Lentz, Of Newark; Joseph Thompson, of
Atlantic City, and Thomas B. Usher, Of
Trenton, secretary
After resume of the organization and
powers of the board the report launches
forth in full explanation of the taxable
and exempt property Of New Jersey. 1t
sets forth that the total amount of as
sessed valuations, exclusive of railroad
and canal properties, is 81 ,055, 379, ,023,
which represents an increase over last
year of S47, ,186, ,SS1, and Of this amount
$912, ,1S2, ,594 represents real estate and
S153,244,9 ,987. personal property. The
amount of personally returned shows an
increase of nearly $4,500,000 and this is
explained by reason of the new tax law
which exempts mortgages as no longer
|tHxabie to the holder as personal prop
erty, the whole tax on mortgaged land
being paid by the mortgagor. This with
draws mortgages from the list of per-
sonal property and credits them to real
estate.
A notable decrease is shown in the
llamount of deductions allowed for in
Idebtedness, the total amount allowed by
the assessors throughout the State for
1904 being only $5,s90,s97, as against
$16,327, 1868 returned for the previous
year. 4 HIS ID Il ueCItdS6 Ol IuuIe tiIdl
S10,000,Oo0 in~ deductions for debt and
is principally due to the change in the
law which allows the deductions to be
made only from personality.
The amount Of exempt property in the
State for 1904 is:--Public schools, S17,-
541 ,S20; other school property, $7,539,-
$50; public property. $43, ,s31. .613y church
and charitable property, $33s7e1, ,644;
cemeteries and graveyards, $4,6T 900;
total, 112,446, ,307.
Sussex County is the only one in the
State which shows decrease in the
valuation Of property during the past
year. In 1903 the valuation in Sussex
was 4,359. .294 and this year the total
is $12.341, 1893, a decrease of $2,51T, ,901.
This total represents the entire decrease
in valuation in the State for the year
1904. The valuation of taxable prop
erty in each county for the years 1903
and 1904 and the gross net increase in
raables is shown by this table,
