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

LONDON, Nov. 15. The subscription

GAIN GROUND AT PORT ARTHUR
Japanese Expect Soon to Capture the
Keekwan Forts.
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

GENERAL KUROKI'S HEADQUAR

Church Dignataries Attend
Consistory at Rome,
TWO AMERICANS PRESENT
Pontiff, In His Allocution, Denfesthe
Charge of France That the
Holy See Has Violated
the Concordat.
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

sistory. preliminary to the cefemony of

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
