PENSION PORTFOLIO
 RESIGNED BY WARE
TO QUIT RooSEVELT,S CABINET
 NEW FEARS DAT,

Refuses to Discuss His Action in Any
 Way-To Return to His Law Practice
 in kansas-Found Duties of the OfTlce
 Distasteful soon After Accepting the
 PIace-NO Successor Yet Mentioned.
 Washington, Nov .-Cominissioner of Pensions Ware to-day rendered his resignation to the president, and it was accepted to take effect January 1.
 When seen tonight, Commissioner Ware refused to discuss his action in any way, except to state that the news papers of the. country had been "re- signing him for the past two years.
 For at least one year, however. it has been definitely known that MT. Ware would retire from his office soon after the fall elections, and return to his home in Kansas to resume his law practice. It is believed here that Com missioner Wares action was not duo to any suggestion that the severance of his relations with the pension office would be agreeable to the president. On the contrary, 1t has been no secret that Commissioners Ware, soon after as- suming his duties, found the duties of his office distasteful to him, and that this distaste steadily increased. There is no intimation tonight as to who his successor will be.

KONG STATEMENT BY
 RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR
R TO BE PURSUED TO THE
 HITTER END.

orts of Overtures for Peace from pan and Mediation by the Powers arted to Convince Public That End
 Near-AIso to Lead Public to Be- i've Japanese Loans Are Good In- lstments.
 ashington, Nov. 14.-"Russia will Bue the war in the Far East to the er end-that is. until Russia has luered."
 hese are the opening words of an hatic statement made at the Rus
 embassy to-day by Count Cassini, Russian ambassador. Several times ntly the ambassador, in the name his government, has categorically led the possibility of any interven-
 in the war, but the recurrence of ors that the powers contemplated iation has caused the ambassador Eeiterate, on behalf of his govern It, its position regarding interVen-
 or mediation of any kind.
 he statement continues: "I deem it
 duty. to reiterate what I have so n said-that Russia will not sus- d, in any case, her military opera Is in the Far East. All rumors and brts regarding the possible success he direct overtures for peace which an is said to have made to Russia,
 regarding the mediation of the ers, in my opinion, are started for
 purpose of convincing the public
 the end of the war is close at "a. In this way 1t is hoped that the lic may be led to believe that Jap Be loans offer attractive invest hts.
 Russia can no more admit of inter nce than Great Britain could in the nsvaal, or than could the United tes in her war with Spain. Where prestige of a country Is at stake all er considerations are and must be aside. Some people may think that '3llCidl ullllCulllCS W1ll lHHu61Ct ItuS- to end hostilities. Such an opinion ased on a false assumption of Rus B financial resources. There is no lot whatever that Russia, whose an- | income exceeds one rnilliard of ars, cannot be influenced in her at de toward the outcome of the war the amount of war expenditures. Is hot altogether out of the question t Russia, who did not expect war, uld, in the moment when she has bilized her army and is sending ps after corps in fighting readiness the Far East, suddenly call a halt hostilities, particularly after she has nearly a year, without any difficulty recourse to extraordinary measures, |h able to carry all the extra ex- Ise?
 ft is not within my scope to com ht upon the new Japanese loan. It is an affair for the bankers and the public, who are able to decide tt advantages or disadvantages the estment offers. But there can be no essity for commenting upon Rus E credit. Any one acquainted with Paris exchange is able to convince self of the solidity of Russia's tnces."

ASSAULT UNSUCCEsSFUL,
Operations Before Port Arthur-Rus-
 sians stiII Hold Kekwan.

Headquarters Japanese Third Army, before Port Arthur (undated). via Flu san, Nov 14.--The casualties in the at tack of the Japanese on the eastern for tified ridge on October 30 were fifteen hundred. It was an unsuccessful as sault. The powerful East Kekwan fort was gained, but the Russians were re- inforced and drove the Japanese down to the foot of the hill. The Japanese are now sapping toward the crest of the hill. The capture of this fort would give the Japanese the key to the east ern fortified ridge, as artillery mounted there would dominate the forts in front of the ridge and enable the Japanese to place infantry in a position to sweep the ridge.

TO MEET NEW SQUADRON
Jupanese stnns Discuss Approach oi
 Russian warships.


 Tokio, Nov. 14.-s p. in.-The emperor presided at an extended conference of the military and naval staffs in the pal ace to-day. While the proceedings were secret it is understood that plans were discussed for dealing with the Russian second Pacific squadron when it arrives nthe Far East.
 London. Nov. 15. 5.Judging from Tokio dispatches and statements by Japan ese here, the question of the Russian second Pacific squadron Is giving rise to some uneasiness in Japan. This pos sIbly is the outcome of the continued absence of news of the progress of the siege of Port Arthur. An article in the Morning Post to-day, from Japanese sources, comments strongly upon all legged breaches of neutrality on the part of France and Germany in giving the squadron coaling facilities and also contends that 1t will be utterly at vari- anee with Susz canal regulations for the snlpS or the Squturoil lo pe permit ted to take sufficient coal and provl- sions 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 some severity. The river Nova is be- ginning to freeze, and the port of Cron- stadt 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 higher latitudesA of Ell- rope.
