The MinIsterminunatleing the sources of revenue, said it -would be necessary were now brought up. When they trenched. the fighting lino at dawn, Nov. :30, they renewed the attackon the 'southwest face. The fighting was con- tinuous during the forenoon. The Rus- sians displayed no sign of yielding. The Japanese artillery got the exact range early in the afternoon and shells mowed down the defenders on the southwest face, the 'warships- in Pigeon Bay, sliding by their indirect fire. At 6 p.m. the Russians showed clear signs Ibleteeveakening. The Japanese renewed their rush from the trenches, but the Russians did not neve. The casualties of the Japanese ever° heavy. At this critical moment the reserves were pouring into the Jap - nese fighting line and with shouts •svhich rang over the whole of Port Ar- thur, hurled themselves i•epeatedly at the Russians, who• finally at 7.30 broke into groups of 20 and 30 and retiree sullenly. Almost simultaneously the Japanese at the south-east angle push- ed home their attack and the whole for- tress' was occupied at p.m. Then Red /Hill was easily carried, but the same 'night the Russians whose large rein- forcements summoned by telephone, had arrived just too late, delivered six desperate • counter-attacks, tho. sixth lasting from 4 a.m., until noon on De. 1. The Russians eepeatedly closed up to n bayonet distance, and their was a ser- ies of hand-to-hand struggles, the as- sailants falling back and then .advanc- ing. Finally after terrible losses, the Russians retreated to Antszhan and lftszshan, leaving the Japanese in as- sured posession. It has been noticed that the Russians lbave diligentlly renewed their operations 'for clearing tbe entrance of the harbor, from which it is inferred that the war- ships intend to make a sortie. MAY TAKE MONTHS. '''w*aelnala. mit Forte Still Confront General Nogi. St. Petersburg, Doc. 4.—A high. officer 'of the general staff, who es intimately familiar With the fortifications of Port Arthur, insists that the importance of the capture of 203 -Metre Hill has been overestimated. He explains that this hill, which the Russians call Visokaia, is situated west of the railroad ancl. be- longs to the outer and not to the inner Line of defences, which aro composed of permanent forts on Canonia Hill, or Sungelm Mountain; Hawk Hill, or Van- tas Hill, aud Woodcock Hill.: The Japanese. aro now only able to attack the umin line, just as happened in the case of Dragon Hill, after the cup- ' ture of Wolf Hills. The Japanese took Wolf Hills July 30, but it was not until four months later, Nov. 30, that they were able to read; the permanent forts on the north and northeast of Port Ar- thur.. "How long the permanent defences will hold out after the loss of the others I do not venture to predict," continued the informants "but it is not unfair to compare the situation with what oc- curred at Seba.stopot The last outer defence at Sebastopol was eat•ried in tine, but the capture of the Malakoff dower did not follow till three months later. Sebastopol had the, advantage of never having been completely invest- ed, rind continued throughout the siege to receiVe reinforcements and supplies. "On the other hand, the natural strength of the 'positions at Sebastepol wee inferior to those of Port Arthur! 203 -Metre Hill is 25 metres higher than the permanent forts on the northern aide, but it is 2,000 ructees distant from them, evliefeati the distaeee between 1110 Malakoff and the outer defences of Se- bastopol was ohly 500 metres.

Russia Buying Groat Quantities of Meat and Coal. Loudon ,Dec. 5. --The Shanghai care- spOndent of the Morning Post says that Russia is practically turning Shanghai into a depot for inilitai•y and naval stores. A local German butcher has received an order for Seven million pounds of meat, and he has made' re- purchases from firms which he previous. ly supplied. Large quantities of coal are held in Shanghai. on Russian ac- count. A well-known British blockade runuer is frequently seen in company of Russian officers who are interned here. The Infringement of Shanghai's neuteelity is arousing great incligu- atio.. In consequence of the drunken- ness and disorderly conduct of the Rus- sian sailors at Shanghai the Japanese consul has asked the Chinese authorities to keep them under more strict dis- cipline, as there are about 2,000 Japan- ese residents in Shanghai. • LEFT IN TRENCHES. Remarkable Endurance of Two Wounded Russians. St. Petersburg, Dee. 4.—Gen. Kouro- pritkin telegraphs, under date of Dec. 3, reporting unimportant skirmishes. He states that Russian scouts found at one point on' the left flank seventeen Japanese corpses entirely stripped of clothing, probably by local inhabitants. Gen. Iouropatkinalso relates the discovery of two wounded Russians, who had been overlooked and left in the trenches since Oct. 16. One of them, who had been less severely wounded than his fellow, procured food. by searching the bodies of the slain, and upon this they bad subsisted for 45 days. Report From Sakhatoff. St. Petersburg, Dec. 4. ---Gen: Sisk- hitroff, telegraphing on Friday, reports a successful recounamance by sharp- shooters on Thursday night in the direction of the Japaense entrench- ments southwest of Tunganon. The Russians first bayoneted a Japanese outpost of thirty men, sm•mounted barbed wire entanglements, entered the entrenchments and bayoneted twenty Japanese. Reinforcements coming up attacked the sharpshooters with hand grenades, forcing the Russians to re- tire. The Russians carried off five dead and fourteen wounded, some Jap- anese rifles and equipments. BALTIC FLEET AT JIBUTIL.

Market in Japan for C anathan Sugar as Well as F Ottawa, Ont., Dec. 5.—(Special.)-- There was a meeting in the Governor - General's office, in the Eastern block, on Saturday, to Make arrangements for re- ceiving Earl Grey, Canada's new Govern- or-General. There were present Sir El- zear Taschereau, Administrator; Sir Richard Cartwright, Col. Hanbury Wil- liams, Col. Pinault, Col. Vidal, - Sherwood and the Mayor of Ottawa. It was decided to meet the new Governor at the railway depot with a military es- cort and accompany His Excellency to Ridenn Hell, Later in the day, at an hour to be arranged for, the Mayor and City Council will wait on Earl Grey and present him with an address. our. The Canadian commercial agent in Ja- pan, Mr. Alexauder MacLean, in a report to the department here, asks the Cana- dian sugar refiners to make an effort to obtain the Japanese trade; that is, if they have not got all they can do at home. In Japan the 'price of sugar is from ten to fifteen per cent. higher than in Canada, and there is general com- plaint among the consumers that the sugar trust is furnishing them with an inferior class of goods. This year's hil- ponations of Canadian flour to Japan will be about 7,405,910 pounds. Canada's flour sales lune been doubled this year, and a still larger business could be clone if Canadians would pnrsue better busi- ness methods. BRUTALLY BEAT PASSENGER.
