Minister Lawnsdorfi has through Charge d'AfE ican proposal for a second peace rence at The Hague to procecid the work begun in 1899, espec ing to the rights and dutie and other questions, like the ardment of undefended coas left undecided by the forme: ce. The note, it is understood, ns to avoid the appearance of iring to wound the susceptibilities of Russia, the action of the United States having been prompted by the itiative of the St. Louis peace con- 6 o response has yet been made, but there is strong reason to believe that although Russia cannot show offense at the proposition from the United States at this time, inasmuch as the United States was actually at war with Spai® when Emperor Nich- olas proposed the original conference, Russia will decline to participate so long as the war lasts. At the foreign office the opinion has been that a con- ference after the war would be profit- able, enabling the powers to agree upon many vexed problems, but that it is impossible for Russia to participate during the war in a conference whose tendencies will be to limit the activity of belligerents and in which questions with a bearing on part of the struggle are sure to come up for discussion. RUSSIANS NEED OFFICERS. About 1,300 Killed and More Are Being Mobilized. St. Petersburg, Nov. 9.—The neces- ity for officers for ser at the front resulted in the mobilization of all reseive officers in St. Petersburg, Vil- na, Warsaw, Kieff, Odessa, Moscow, Kazan and the Caucasus. The loss of oific at Liaoyang and below Muk- den was about 1,300. The mobilization, whil intended to supply the de- ficiency, is also necessitated by the grand scale on which the war in the Far East is to be prosecuted. The news from the front indicates that General Kuropatkin is devoting his. attention chielly to keeping the Japanese busy along the line of their fortifications below the Shakhe river. The Russians apparently are enjoy- ing some superiority in the matter of artillery, as many of the heavier field trains and mortar batteries are now ng and being brought into serv- tiver, Mass., Noyv. 9.—Repre- of the Fall River cotton manufacturers and the striking op- eratives held another conference dur- ing the day, but were unable to reach an agreement, so that as far as the negotiations are concerned the situa- tion is unchanged. The mills will be opened Nov. 14, as previously deecided upon, to give the strikers an opportu- nity to go to work under a 123 per cent cut. MANY TWO DEAD, Freight and Work Trains Collide at Clinton, Ind. Clinton, Ind.,, Nov. 9.—In a collislon between a work train and a freight train John Blot was killed, an unrec- ognized body is pinned under the wreck and twenty-five other men were injured. Willlam West will die. Xd- ward Harrington, James Kelly and John Cooley are believed to be fatally injured. All the injured were taken to Danville, I11. The wreck occurred on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad. HURLED TO THEIR DEATH. Three Bridge Bullders Killed at Steu- benville, O. Steubenville, O., Nov. 9.—Three workmen were instantly killed in a buggy used to wrap a wire cable on the new Steubenville suspension bridge. The tope supporting the buggy broke, throwing it against a pier and hurling the men to death on the gronnd below. INJURED. JAPANESE WARSHIP SUNK. Report Current in British Naval Cir- cles at Shanghai. Shanghai, Nov. 9.—It is reported in British naval circles that a Japanese man-of-war has been sunk by a mine oft Port Arthur. + Upon hearing the prisoner’s story Gen- ! eral | der the light of a bicycle lantern, draft- MAY BEGIN ANY HOUR DESPERATE BATTLE TO DECIDE CONTROL OF POSITIONS ON SHAKHE RIVER. EACH SIDE WAITING FOR THE OTHER ENGAGEMENT PROMISES TO EE’ THE MOST INTERESTING OF | THE CAMPAIGN. Mukden, Nov. 9.—Artitlery firing ‘was continuous all along the lthes on Monday and intermittent Tuesday morning. A battle might commence | at aay hour, It will be a question of many days, if not weeks, to decide the position, which is the most interasting since the commencement of“ihe*war. Each side is waiting for the other to attack. IGKORES RUSSIAN OFFICERS GENERAL NOGI OFFERS TERMS QF SURRENDER TO GARRI- SON AT PORT ARTHUR. Chefoo, Nov. 9.—The Japanese be- sieging Port Arthur, ignoring Lieuten- ant General Stoessel, the commander of the Russian military forces there, have offered terms of surrender to the Russian soldiers, according to advices received here. In the meanwhile the ceaseless activity of picks and shovels continues. The Japanese are gradually advancing their trenches, which speil inexorabl® fate to the watchers amoug the Russians. A Russian prisoner captured Oct. 26 said the troops composing the garri- son of Port Arthur were in want and dispirited. - They saw the fruitlessness of the struggle. Hopeless of relief, with food scarce and medicine and hos- pital supplies insufficient, it was ad- mitted by the Russians that a Japanese victory was ultimately inevitable. The soldiers, according to the prisoner, see no reason to prolong the resistance, which brings glory to their officers, but chiefly hardship and death to them. Nogi assembled his staff, dis- cussed the matter briefly and then, un- TEXAS HOTEL BURNED FOUR PEOPLE PERISH IN FLAMES AND TWO OTHERS PROBABLY FATALLY INJURZD. ORIGIN OF THE FIRE IS UNKNOWN 'BUILDING FILLED WITH GUESTS AT THE TIME BUT MOST OF THEM ESCAPE. Houston, Tex., Nov. 9.—The Silver i Quecen hotel in the Sour Lake oil field was destroyed by fire during the day and four people burned to death. The dead are: C. E. Lewis, Spindletop, Tex.; Lee Hamilton, Spindletop, Tex.; Jack Smith and wife, New Hanover, Tex. Jack Sullivan, Sour Lake, and Benjamin Tucker, Sour Lake, were probably fatally injured. The hotel was filled with guests. The origin of the fire is unknown. TWO HUNTERS DROWN. Qvercome by Cold and Exposure While Wading Ashore. Detroit, Nov. 9.—James H. Foote and Alfred Gaines, electricians, were drowned while duck hunting at the St. Clair flats and their bodies were recovered in the mnorth channel in shallow water about 150 feet from shore. They, with Alex Lempke, were in shallow water when their boat began to leak and filled. They started to wade ashore, Lempke sticking to the boat and the other two setting out on a different course. All three were overcome. by cold and exposure, but Lempke had reached the shore before he fell unconscious. TROLLEY CAR COLLISION. One Man Killed and Several Injured at Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Nov. 9—One man was killed and several injured in a trolley car collision on Gilbert avenue. The trouble began by a car ascending Gil- bert avenue becoming unmanageable and running backward. It struck an- other Gilbert avenue car, which be- gan backing and struck a third car behind it. Joseph Christian, a passen- ger, was killed. Among the injured ‘were Peter Campbell, William Storms, Mrs. Isadore Ivison and Motorman William Ferris. In all six cars ran backward and struck each other. ed a letter to be circulated among the soldiers themselves, the prisoner hav- ing promised to deliver it in mercy to his comrades. The letter related General Kuropatkin’s retreats and his inability to make an impression on the army of Field Marshal Oyama, to say nothing of breaking through his forces end relieying Port Arthur. The letter also pointed out that the second Rus- sian Pacific squadron has Just Started on its Slow Voyage. Continuing, it called attention to the advance of the Japanese trenches, making it @ matter of weeks when the Japuuese would walk into the main Kussian strongholds. in conclasion the letter: oitered humane ticatment to all who surrendered, saying 1t was in the inteiest of humanity to prevent useless slaughter. In the darkness of the early morning or Nov. 4 several copies of the letter, written in Rus- sian, were given to the prisoner, wiho regained the Russian lines unobserveu by his officers. That night the Russian returned, saying his comrades woulu answer within a few days. He said the tewtper of the men seemed to show that while they were mutinous toward fate they aiso did not like the idea of an unofiicial surrender. The letter did much, however, to dispel among the Russian troops the impression fos- tered by their officers that a massacre would follow a Japanese victory. The company to which the prisoner be- longed originally numbered 800 and now totals thirty men. As the Japanese are sufficiently near the summits of the hills to render tunneling highly practicable much- of this is now being done. The Russians are building counter tunnels. Which- ever side finds its tunnel under the enemy’s blows up the latter’s tunnel. To prevent explosives being rolled down into their trenches the Japanese have made ranges, or hillocks of earth, ahove the trenches. Five Russian mine sweeping: steam- ers have been sunk by Japanese shells. EXPLOSION IN BOILERROOM. One Man Dead and Two Seriously Scalded. Detroit, Nov. 9.—One man is dead and two others are seriously scalded as a result of an explosion in the boilerroom of the tug Warnick of To- ledo as she lay at the plant of the Great Lakes engineering works in Ecorse.
