THE MORNING OREGOIflAiS, T4JES0A1, JSUVJSittBlSR 15, 1904. T fil TIER END Russia Must Conquer in the Far East OASSIHI AGAIN SPEAKS His, Nation Determined to List en to No Peace Overtures. . Her prestige is at stake AH Otier Considerations Must Be Brushed Aside Any Fear That Financial Difficulties Will Be Met Is Declared Undue'. "WASHINGTON, Nov. 14. "Russia will pursue the' war in the Far East to the bitter end; that Is. until Russia has con quered." These are the opening words of an em- nVmtJr? statement made at the Russian Embassy today by Count Cassini, the Russian Ambassador. Several times recently the Ambassador, in the name of his government, has cate gorically denied the possibility of any Intervention in the war, but the recur rence of rumors that the powers contem plated mediation has caused the Ambas sador to reiterate, on behalf of his gov ernment, its position regarding interven tion or mediation of any kind. The state ment continues: "I deem It my duty to reiterate what I have so often said, that Russian will not suspend in any case her military op erations in the Far East. All rumor and reports regarding the possible success of tviA rHrpo.t overtures for Deace. which. Japan is said to have made to Russia, and regarding the mediation of the pow ers. In my opinion, are started for the purpose of convincing the public that the end of the war Is close at hand. In this way. It is hoped that the public may be led to believe that Japanese loans of .for attractive investments. "Russia can no more admit of it than could Great Britain in the Transvaal or the United States in her war with Spain. "Where the Drestige of a country Is at stake, all other considerations are and must be put aside. Some people may think that financial difficulties will Influence Russia to end hostilities. Such an opinion is based on the false assumption of Rus sia's financial resources. There .is no doubt whatever that Russia, whose an nual income exceeds $1,000,000, cannot be influenced In her attitude toward the out come of theN war by the amount of war expenditures. Is It not altogether out of the Question that Russia, who did not expect war. should In the moment when she was mobilizing her army and is send ing corps after corps in fighting read! ness to the Far East, suddenly call a halt on hostilities, particularly ..after she has for nearly a year, without any difficulty or recourse to extraordinary measures. been able to carry all the extra expenses? "It is not within my scope to comment upon the new Japanese loan. That Is an affair for the bankers and for the public who are able to decide what advantages or nonadvantagos the Investment offers, Rut there can be no necessity for com menting upon Russia s credit. Any one acquainted with the Paris Exchange is able to convince himself of the soliditary of Russia's finances." URGES BRITAIN BEWARE. Lord Selbourne Says Russia Is Rap idly Marching Toward India. LONDON, Nov. 14. Lord Selbourne, First Lord of the Admiralty, speaking at Bristol tonight and referring to Russia's having granted Great Britain's just demands, said the crisis just ex perlenced was an occasion for the coun try to take stock of Its defensive or ganlzation, and in dealing with this question it was impossible to ignor the rapid march of the Russian empire toward the Indian frontier. It is use less. Lord Selbourne said, for a business nation dealing with its liabilities to mince matters. Instead of a vast tract of impassable country separating the two empires, Russia had two railway terminating at the Afghanistan fron tier, only a matter of 400 miles from the Indian Railway. He hoped there never would be war between the two countries, but Britons were bound to consider "what the Russian military or ganizations had succeeded in achieving in Manchuria, at the end of 6000 miles of a single-track railway line, and to govern British military preparations in Indian accordingly. BRITAIN MAY INTERFERE. Russians Held to Have No Right to Coal at Port Said. LONDON, Nov. 15. Judging from Tokio dispatches and statements by Japanese here, the question of the Russian Pacific squadron Is giving rise to some uneasiness In Japan. This possibly Is the outcome of the continued absence of news of the progress of the siege of Port Arthur. An article in the Morning Post from Japanese sources comments strongly upon alleged breaches of neutrality on the part of France and Germany in giving the squadron coaling facilities, and also con tends that It will be utterly at variance with Suez Canal regulations for the ships of the squadron to be permitted to take Fufilcient coal and provisions at Port Said to carry them to the nearest port. The article' suggests that Great Britain will interfere to prevent the granting of such facilities. The Russian "Winter has begun with tome severity. The River Neva is begin ning to freeze, and the port of Cronstadt is frozen over. The last Russian steamer from Archangel arrived at Dundee on Monday, six days overdue, owing to the terrible weather that Is raging In the high er latitudes of Europe. SLAVS BEGIN TO DESPAIR. Now Realize- Fully the Enormous Task Involved In Driving Back Foe. GENERAL KUROPATKIN'S HEAD QUARTERS, by way of Mukden, Sunday. Nov. 13. (Delayed In transmission.) Fre quent iflghts between the opposing patrols occurred today. The Russians, with -heavy -howitzer and six-inch gun batteries. shell the Japanese trenches and give the woridng parties little respite. Larce "numbers of Russian officers are arriving at the front to replace those who have fallen. The Russian army Is real izing more fully day by day the enormous task involved In driving back the Jap anese. Great hopes, however, are placed on the Russian second Pacific squadron. The troops are now better fortified than at any previous period and the roads are in good condition, enabling reinforcements to leave the trains at stations higher up the line and march to Mukden, thus re lieving the pressure on the railroad. JAPANESE PAPER IN DEMAND American Half of Loan is Almost Sure to Be Oversubscribed. NEW TORK, Nov. 14. Subscriptions to the American half of the new J60.000.000 Japanese loan, which opened here today. are coming in extensively, according to a statement Issued by Kuhn, Loob & Co., who are financing the loan in conjunction with the National City Bank and the National Bank of Commerce.

HEADQUARTERS THIRD JAPANESE ARMY IN THE FIELD BEFORE PORT ARTHUR, Nov. 4. via Fusan. Nov. 14. By a general attack on the Eastern forti fied ridge on October 30, the Japanese gained the moats of the principal forts assailed. These were wider, deeper and stronger than had been supposed, and were defended by caponleres or galleries running north of the Keekwan forts. The galleries were captured after most des perate fighting undergound. The Rus sians still hold parts of the moat, but the Japanese are engaged In sapping to dis lodge them, after which the capture of the forts should be easy. The casualties on the Japanese side in this engagement were 1000. AWAIT FALL OF ARTHUR. Japanese on the Shakhe Will Then Order an Advance. . BERLIN. Nov. 14. Colonel Gaedke. the Tageblatt's military" correspondent in the Far East, in a dispatch from aiukden. November 14, says: "The situation is unchanged. A decisive battle is improbable before Spring. The Japanese will not attack until several weeks after the fall of Port Arthur, and the Russians are awaiting such an over whelming-superiority In numbers as to leave the question of victory beyond doubt. The Russians are constantly re ceiving reinforcements, and the troops are in good spirits and excellent health. Even the outposts are well sheltered against the cold." RUSSIANS SEVERELY REPULSED Japanese Are Attacked in Neighbor hood of Litiatun. GENERAL KUROKI'S HEADQUAR TERS, Nov. 14. via Fusan. A squadron of Russian cavalry yesterday afternoon at tacked the Japanese In the neighborhood of Litiatun. The Russians were so se verely repulsed that at dusk they were still gathering up their dead and wound ed. There has not been any other change at the front. Plan to Meet Squadron. TOKIO. Nov. 14.

ROME. Nov. 14. Tho festivities in honor of the jubilee of the Immaculate Conception may be said to have begun today with the holding of a brilliant consistory, which was especially inter esting, as the Pope lately has been in disposed and many persons wished to be assured of his recovery. All the cardinals living in Rome, numbering about 25, gathered in the hall of the consistory at the "Vatican half an hour before the ceremony, taking their places in three groups cardinal bish ops, cardinal priests and cardinal dea cons making one of tho Imposing pic tures only to be seen at the apostollo palace. The united States was represented at the consistory by Monslgnor Ken nedy, rector of the American College here, and Monslgnor Soton titular, archbishop of Hellopolis, of Jersey City, N. J. Monslgnor Kennedy at the private consistory received the pallium for Archbishop Glennon, of St. Louis'. The pallium for Archbishop Moon- er, of Cincinnati, was receivea in the secret consistory of Father Haver, private secretary of Cardinal Gotti. pre fect of the propaganda, and the pallium for Archbishop Messmer, of Milwaukee, was received by Mgr. Jauquel. Issue With France. In the secret consistory the pope de livered an allocution recalling the origin of the concordat and the reasons which Induced Pope Pius VII to conclude it with Napoleon, especially referring to the provisions made for the appoint ment of bishops, the budget of the min istry of public worship, which was reg ulated by what was practlcaly a con tract, and finally the free exercise of Catholic worship. He added that the so-called "Organic articles," added in 1802 by Napoleon, had never been rec ognized by the holy see, either as law or being part of the concordat. There fore, the pontiff deplored the fact th;tt the present government of the French republic had. under various pretexts, charged the holy see with not having observed the concordat, adding that the church had never in the case of any country Infringed upon an agreement. The Done concluded by saying that the French government had broken tho fundamental conditions of the con cordat, but which was also opposed to divine and natural law. The pope com Dlalned of the impossibility, due to the existing state ofaffalra, of appointing bishops to the vacant sees in trance. but expressed the hope that an unaer standing would be reached. The majority of the cardinals present considered the allocution rather mil a, nnfl remarkpfl that the none omitted the part upon which he previously had consulted several of the cardinals, in which he was to have appealed to the people of France and to have them urged to be loyal to the church and use their rights as citizens to prevent tne government from persecuting religion. The Dontiff entered the hall of the consistory surrounded by his immediate flanked by the noble and Swiss CTiards and followed by the papal court. He seated himself on the throne and those present advanced to pay their homage, after which the pope delivered a prayer to the holy ghost. Following this, all except the cardinals left the hall, as the consistory was sc eret The nope and cardinals then pro ceeded to proclaim the archbishops, bishops, etc, as already appointed by brief, which was a. mere form, and the pope delivered his allocution. Immediately after the secret consls nrv the none held a semi-public con sistory. preliminary to the cefemony of the canonization of blessed Alessandro Saul!, the Barnabite and blesspd Ger- , takes place next month. All agree that outside of tho lac thnt he has a somewhat careworn ex nrpssion. the noDe. notwithstanding his nttaek of trout, seems to be In good health. NEW MINISTER VICTORIOUS. Czar Blocks Attempts to Postpone the Zemstvo Conference. st PETERSBURG. Nov. 11. Prince Kviatnnolk-Mirsky. the Minister of the interior, has been victorious. The at temnts to force a postponement of the v.omstvn conference, scheduled to meet on Sundav. November 19, have failed. Emperor Nicholas was not frightened by the specter of a constitution presented be- i fore him by the opponents oi me emst I vo, and at the audience which he granted to tho Minister of the Interior this after- i noon he gave his sanction to the confer- i ence. i All true friends of the Zemstvo prln s clnles who are assembling here, are coun selling moderation. The principal thing that is expected to be accomplished by I tho. conference is a provision for a con tinuance of similar meetings In the future and a chance In the method of selecting renresentatlves of the Zemstvos in the DeDartment of the Interior. Heretofore representatives to the number of 15 have been appointed from the Zemstvos by the Minister of the Interior. The members of Zemstvos will propose that these repre sentatives be chosen by the Zemstvos ' themselves, and It Is understood that this ! change will meet the approval'of Prince svIato'polk-Mlrsky w Established 180.
