The expe | may be decisive circumstances, News" received by constantly rein- or not, according to the general staff is to the effect that the Japanese are advanting very slowly in—two lines, on efther side of the railroad. The western line extend ling, whe an so far as Timin- ‘ngagement probably will take place. On the other side the line reaches as far as Taeling, whera engagements ady have taken place. The Novoe Vremya prints a remark- | able article, in which it says: “Cold weather is settling down and our troops are in the direst need of clothing, overcoats, blankets and felt | boots. | It also severely criticizes Russia’s marine impotenee and asks: | “Are we ever going to right our old faflure 2" {a MUKDEN, Sept. continue their advance northward with | extréme slowness. eneral Kuroki's | headquarters is cloge to Pensihu, about forty-five miles east of Liaoyang.

Report That Supplics Have Reached Garrizon Causes Joy in Russia. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 25, 1:50 | a.sm.—The report of the afrival of | several shiploads of provisiens, medi- | cine and ammupition at Port Arthur :n causing® the liveliest "satisfaction | 'here” and strengthens the “conviction | that the fortress can hold out. The news of ‘theZarrival of a new supply of ammunition isespecially. gratify- ing, as the expenditure of shot and powder, according to all accounts, | must have been enormous and the lat- | est reports having indicated that the | garrison was beginning to fall back | upon home-made powder, which is entirely unsatisfactory. The authorities have all along ex- preszed confidence that the fortress would not be captured so long as the ammunition held out, and the replen- ishment of the supply is therefore con- sidered of most vital importance. The ability of vessels to enfer Port Arthur is taken here to indicate that the Japanese blockade is by no means 80 cffective as in the earlier stages of the siege. The capture of a vassel coming out of the harbor after having !dellve;ed her cargo is believed to be contrary to international law nnd likely to lead to protest. (2 SRR PATHETIC: WAR INCIDENT.

It i | nations of the a matter of | gratification to all Americans that we have had the honor of receiving you here as tha nation’s guests. You are men skilled in actical work ‘of government in ye ral countr and this fact weight to your championship of inter- national ju f your kind allusions to what the Government of the United States has ace 1 ed for the policies you have at heart, and 1. agsure you that this Government's attitude will continue unchanged in reference thereto. We are even now taking steps to secure arbitration treaties with all| other governments which are willing to enter into them with us. “In response to your resolution I shall at an early day ask the other natio to join in a second congress ateT Hague. (Applause.) I feel, as [ am sure you do, that our efforts should take the ward c i pletion of the work already begun at The Hague, and that whatever is now done should appéar not as something divetgent therefrom, but as a con- tinuance thereof. At the first con- ference at The “Hague several ques- tions were left unsettled and it was expressly provided that there should be a second ‘conference A reasonable time has elapsed and I feel that your union has shown sound judgment in concluding that a second conference should now be called to carry some steps farther toward completing the work of the first. It would be visionary to expect too imme- diate success for the great cause you are champloning, but very substantial progress can be made if we strive with esolution and good sense toward the goal of securing among the nations of the earth, as among the individuals of each nation, a just sense of respomsi- bility in each toward others and a just recognition in each of the rights of others. The right and the responsibilty must go hand in hand. Every effort must be unceasinz both to secure in each nation full acknowledgment of the rights of others and the bringing about in each ndtion an ever-growing sense of its own responsidilities. At an early date I shall izsue the call for the conference you request. ¢Applause.) I again greet you and bid you welcome in the name of the Ameri- can pecple and wish you geodspeed in your efforts for the common good of waniind.” ’
