SAYS NEUTRALS FAVOR RUSSIA. Vessels Are Supplied With
 Goal by British BARON SUYEMATSU TALKS Baron Hayashi Thinks Great Britain Will Take Steps to Prevent
 Any Violations of
 Neutrality
BARON sUYEMATSU TALKS

London, November 26--Baron Suye- matsu, son-in-law of Marquis Ito, presi- dent of the Japanese privy council, whose comment was fully indorsed by Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister here dis cusslng the irritation of Japanese at the continued supply of British coal to ves- sels of the Russian second Pacific squad ron, said today:
 we feel strongly that Europe in gen. eral is assisting Russia in a way we never contemplated. Even in England in dividuals are rendering much indirect assistance. Although l do not think the Japanese are unduly nervous regarding the effect of the arrival of the Russian squadron in the far east, 1t would never have been able to put to sea but for the assistance of subjects of neutrals in some cases more or less officially connived at, while without English coal the Russian squadron could not have gone far, and it is my belief when contraband Is being carried on In such a wholesale fashion the government concerned should take steps to stop it.
 There is all the greater necessity for this when the action is prejudeial to the interest of both nations. The value of the alliance to both Japan and Great Britain is undeniable and therefore it is the bounden duty of both to do every thing possible to cement 1t, even to the extent of inviting means for doing so when they do not already exist"
 Baron Hayashi who remarked that his official position precluded discussing de- tails admitted that Baron Suyematsu had correctly interpreted the views of the Jap anese and added that he did not doubt that the British authorities would do ali in their power to prevent a contin- uance of the action complained of.

Democrats in Congress Oppose
 All Such Talk
CONSIDER II RIDICULOUS
Former Leader Richardson Thinks Nothing Can Be Done at Least Until the Official Returns
 Are Tahulated.

Washington, November 26-(Speeial)- It is hard to find among the democratic senators and members of the house who have arrived in Washington a single one in favor of the proposed "reorgan- ization" of the democratic party. Prae- tically every member scouts the idea and many declare 1t extremely ridieu- lous.
 Before we do anything at all said Representative Livingston of Georgia to- day We had better sit down, light some good long cigars and try to find out where we are at. l don't think we know exactly what has happened yet, except that we were showed under unmercifuily. It is entirely too early to undertake any thing like reorganization"
 Senators McCreary of Kentucky and Daniel of Virginia share the general opin- ion that democrats should go right ahead as if nothing had happened and that the events to transpire in the next four years will determine the issues in the next campaign and incidentally the fate of the democratic party. Old-line demo- crats point out the fact that the party has recuperated from defeats as severe as the recent landslide and say cheer fully that the pendulum may swing to the other extreme four years hence.
 Tonight the crowds passing through the
 Representative James M. Richardson of Tennessee, former floor leader of the democrats in the house. is of the opinion that all talk of reorganizing the demo- cratic party is premature, and in fact un- called for. What we want to do first said MT Richardson today. "is to aseer- tain why we were defeated. In order to do this we must wait until the popular vote in the presidential election is tabu- lated, and we can then analyize 1t. 1t IS my present opinion that the defeat oi the democratic party was due largely te democrats staying at home and not vot' ing Then, too. we lost some yotss tc Watson and Debs- It is too early yet tc talk about future policies The events of the next four years will largely deter mine the campaign issues.
 Ut looks now like the only hope the democrats have is that the republicans will fall of their own weight Political history shows that this has happened and we democrats can only hope that 1t Will happen again."

 Mukden, November 26.-At Tinshinpu, of which the northern half is in Russian hands and the southern is held by Japan csc, the trenches are twenty paees apart, and 1t is possible in the silence of the night to distinguish the voices of the Japanese.
 Sometimes men on both sides strike up a conversations many of the Japanese speaking excellent Russian. The soldiers good-natured abuse one another and pass invitations to come and take dinner, or drink tea Often the Japanese tantalize the Russiasn by showing them that they have vodka to drink, while the Russians have none. The Japanese continue to allow the Russians to gather fuel on neu tral ground at Linhesu when they are unarmed.
 They suddenly fired once, killing two Russians and wounding one. While the trenches are 720 paees apart, the Russian and Japanese pickets are now only forty paees from each other, but there Is no firing. One Japanese sentry feel asleep at his post. and Russian soldier left the trenches. crept up and stole his gun and returned without awakening him. The Japanese at one time attempted to dig trenches fifteen paces away from the Russians, but they were driven off.

 New York, November 2s-The Financier this week says:
 The official statement of the New York Associated banks last week showed as the most striking changes compared with the previous week, an important decrease m loans, a loss of cash closely correspond- ing with that which was indicated by the estimates that were based on me unknown money market based on the known movements of money i1isposi ton. This amount very nearly aBreeu with the sum of the reduction III ioah9 and the loss of cash, and sho"eu n "' crease in surplus reserve or a itei9 iioi than one million dollars oeio" o amount at the beginning Of the year rho loan contraction was SlOZoJ,2oo max iray s2o se5 72O since October 29' in whlch nrriod there has been abundant speeula- tion in the stock market
 Goss of cash was s5,i246OO net, or N,- ooa soo less than the estimates. but the digcrenancv was doubtless due to the svsten of bank averages, and also to the concentration in the estimates of with rawals of gold for export in November, which occurred on the last day of the nrevfous bank week, and were therefore accounted for in the statement. The loss of cash reported by the banks makes a total since October % of S23, 467,700. The deposits were decreased last week by H, 665 100. making SG02 ,700 since the above mentioned date. The required reserve was reduced by s3,916215, deducting which from the loss of cash, left Sl, ,2OS,365 as the reduction in surplus reserve to Ss,3Sl,375, the lowest of the year. Computed on the basis of deposits. less those of s2s,s7s,So0 public funds, the surplus is Sl4,224,S25; the surplus against general deposits a year aog was it may be noted, S6.l252Q0. The return of bank clearings for the five days of last week was 357,O0O000, or T,o00,00O less than in the previous week of six weeks.

Use o!d.styIe Guns.

Fidaytun, six miles east of Shakhe, Mo- vember 26-Since November 23, there have been light engagements day and night. On November 24 Japanese artillery began firing on Nodgorod Hill using old style cast iron shells with copper bands. Scratches on these shells, Russian artil- lerymen say, indicate that they were fired from worn out guns
 It is evident that the Japanese are exerting every effort to increase the number of their guns, and in view of their lack of quick firing artillery, they are bringing up guns of old construction This is confirmed by statements made by Chinese that large numbers of worn out cannon are in Liao Yang On No- vember "A, an artillery duel took place. The Japanese bombarded Poutiloff Clone Tree) Hill, the Russians replying but not vigorously
 On November 9 an interesting incident occurred near the village of Nangansa For several days figure had been ob- served in a sitting posture in full Rus sian uniform and it was supposed 1t was wounded, but each attempt at res- cue was met with murderous fire rem dering approach impossible. At last men succeeded in creeping up and found a decomposing corpse which they were able, in the face of furious fire to drag fifty feet. Next day the corpse was discovered to be in the same place. the Japanese evidently using 1t as a decoy, knowing that the Russians would make every effort to rescue comrades body. a few volunteers finally rescued the dead man under cover of darkness. He was recognized as a corporal of the Will manstrand regiment who had been killed six weeks ago.
 Japanese prisoners create amusement. They do not know what country St. Pe- tersburg is in, and when they are jok- ingly offered their release. they refuse to accept and leg to be allowed to remain prisoners. They are well but lightly dressed.

Field Headquarters General Kurokis Army. November 26-Via F'usan, No- vember 27-A light snow storm yesterday left two inches of snow on the ground. Along the tops of the hills where is lo- cated in many places the advanced lines Of General Kurokfs army, the snow is deeper. The soldiers are living in earthen burrows and shelters constructed of cornstalks and are able to keep warm through the freezing nights.
 It is impossible to build camp fires in the trenches and bivouac within sight of the enemy. For warmth the soldiers de- pend on charcoal fires in "shibachis' pocket stoves. Some supplies of char coal was brought from Japan. but most of it has been purchased in Manchuria. The army has employed many coolies cutting trees and making charcoal since early last summer, foreseeing the pres ent need of it.

Mukden. November 25.-Via Pekin, No vember 26-The lapse of six weeks with out fighting on any large scale, confirm ing the belief that the opposing armies have rested for the winter together with the unexpected demonstration of force which the Russians have been able to make since the depletion of their army as the result of the fighting on the Shak- he emphasizes conclusively the failure of the Japanese to prevent the assembly of a large Russian army in Manchuria be- fore spring, thus defeating the strategy of the Japanese and their most plausible plans for earliest occupation of Manchu- ria.
 This outcome taken in connection with the general situation appears to guaran- tee that with the opening of spring there will begin contest far more terrible than any yet fought and points to the termipa- tion of the war in the next campaign. T.: Is still possible that there will be a gem eral attack during the winter. but the weather is now broken and uncertain and seemingly renders 1t impossible for the troops of either army to abandon their present shelters.

Movements of Squadron.

Suez, November 26.-The transit of the canal by the Russian second Pacific squadron was effected in the most satis- factory manner and without incident. It is Admiral Voelkersam's present inten- tion that the whole division shall sail Sunday morning at 1 o'clock. In the mean- while seven torpedo boat destroyers have mvoed outside of the three mile limit, the authorities having warned them that their twenty-four hours expired at 4.30 o'clock this afternoon.
 The Russian warships will be escorted as far as Shadwan island, at the entrance of the Red sea by two Egyptian coasting guard cruisers. thus enforcing Egyptian neutrality.
 No coaling will be allowed here. Only water and provision can be taken on board.
