 New York. Nov. 2O.-At least twelve lives were lost in a fire in a Brooklyn tenement house early to-day. and the firemen are searching for other bodies, It is believed that the death-list will reach fifteen. Twelve persons were in- jured, none, it is believed. fatally.
 Shortly after 2 o'clock this morning flames were found in the cellor of No. 1S6 Troutman street, a three-story frame tenement house, and by the time the firemen arrived the stairways and airshaft were ablaze and the halls wera filled with smoke. Three, other alarms were turned in, and soon large de- tachment of firemen was at work fight ing the fire.
 Despite the efforts of the firemen, the flames spread to the adjoining tene- ments. Nos. 1S2, 1S4, 1SS and 19O. The occupants of these houses were early notified of their danger. and it is be- heYed that all escaped.
 The firemen found the dead bodies of ten persons shortly after their arrival at the scene. Further search resulted lin the finding of the bodies of man and woman in a bedroom on the top floor of No. 1S6. They were burned se- verely, but death, as in the eases of the other victims, had been due to suffo- cation.
 The first floor of the building where the fire originated was occupied by Arl- tonic Giambalvos as a grocery store, his living apartments being in the rear. The flames were first found, according to those who turned in the first alarm, in the cellar immediately under this store, and they communicated with lightning rapidity to the upper floors of the house. The cause of the fire is unknown.
 Among the dead are members of the families of Maranio Triolo, Carlo Barr nio and Joseph Palivanaro. The occu- pants of the houses were laborers. The money loss is inconsiderable.

Hoyt, who for years had been one of the most prominent citizens of this place, died suddenly this morning of heart disease while riding in his carriage on his way to church.

 Improvements representing an ex- penditure of nearly s2O,0O0,0 are ap- preaching completion or are about to be begun on the New York division of the New York. New Haven and Hart ford railroad. This is in addition to the extensive bridge work and track im- proyement in progress at numerous other points on the lines of the sys- tenn. So important Is this work con sidered and so anxious are the New Haven officials to push 1t to completion as rapidly as possible that Second Vice President Fayette S. Cuetis, who has general charge of all construction work, is about to transfer his headquarters from Boston to New Haven in order to be In direct touch with the extensive projects under way on this division of the road.
 More Passenger Trains.
 One reason why the New Haven offi- cials are anxious to complete the work now in progress as rapidly as possible is that they have announced that q number of additional passenger trains will be put into service on the New York division on December f. Another is to be, found in the serious freight congestion nov prevailing on this sec tion of the road. Not only have hurry orders been issued in connection with the work on the three bridges now un- der construction between New York and New Haven in order to handle the additional passenger trains and to put an end to the delay of expresses caused by the use of temporary bridges at these points, but also to prevent a freight blockade. Urgent requests have also been sent to the locomotive manu- lecturers for the early delivery of en- zines which have been under construc- tion for the road for some time. The force employed in the repair shops at New Haven has been increased in or der to put every available locomotive in shape for service.

 The great increase in the freight movement to New England during the past six weeks has caused freight to accumulate at many points, and the yards of the New York, New Haven & Hartford at Port Morris on the Harlem branch have been almost overwhelmed by the great influx.

UNUSUAL DISAPPEARANCE.

May be in the Prison.
 Ossining, N. T.. Nov. 2O.-A most un- usual event, the disappearance of a prisoner, has occurred at Sing Sing prison. Charles w. Johnson, a life con- vict from Brooklyn, sentenced for kill ing junkman is missing, although he may be inside the walls. The authori- stties are inclined to believe he has se- creted himself in some out of the way part of the prison building. Johnson is said to be somewhat weak minded, and is said also to have threatened sev- eral times to throw himself in the river. The guards whose posts cover the riv- CT declare that he has not done so. Johnson was employed in the cabinet shop Yesterday afternoon when the convicts ceased work the keeper in charge counted his men and found all present. After wait of a few minutes for the appearance of another section of convicts before a start to the cells was made, there was a recount and it was then discovered that Johnson had disappeared. Search for him was at once begun, but so confident were the nrison authorities that the man had not gotten outside the walls that the big whistle used to signalize the disappear ance of prisoner was not sounded. To-day all the lumber piles !n the shop were shifted but Johnson could not be fo1lnd

 SUSPENSE IN ST. PEPERSBURG.
Japanese AttacIx on PontiIoR HiII Falls Significant Movements

Japanese AttaclS on PontiIoff HiII Fails
 Significant Movements St. Petersburg, Nov N-A a. m The suspense engendered by the Jap- anese attack on Poutiloff hill continues. This movement has proved unsuccess- full. It aimed merely to capture a Rus sian position, but wether it was inten- ed to mask activity at some other point along the front has not yet been de- veloped. Some correspondents note what they consider significant Japanese movements on the Russian right, and others that a Japanese column is nov ing fifty or sixty miles eastward; but the opinion in military circles seems to be that no great movement is likely to transpire before the fate of Port Arr thur is decided. At the same time it is recalled here that General Kuropat- kin's great aggressive movement of last month was in full swing, a week before the outside world realized what was occurring.
 Mukden, Nov. 2O.-The Japanese at tack on Poutiloff hill has demonstrated the efficacy of the Russian defensive works. Two battalions engaged in the attack occupied the first lire of the Russian trenches, but at the second line were caught in pits and entangie- ments and exposed to a galling fire. A Russian bayonet attack completed their demoralization.
 The weather continues mild with clear nights which are favorable to night attacks.
 There are many run1ors of Japanese activity on both banks, but there is nothing to show that a general engage ment is more imminent that heretofore.

ACCUSES JAPANESE.
Head of Russian Red Cross Work at Port Arthur Makes Charges.

NAeau oA husslan Hea cross Work at !. Port Arthur Makes Charges.
 Chefoo. Nov. 2o.-General Balashoff, the head of the Red Cross society at Port Arthur, sent to the Associated Press on the torpedo destroyer Rastor- opny, which arrived here from Port Ar thur November 16, and which was sunk by her crew in this harbor, personal letter charging the Japanese with U vio- lation of the rules of civilized warfare, Owing to an error the letter of General Balashoff was not delivered to the As- sociated Press until to-day. In his let ter General Balashoff requests the pub ltcation of the charges that the Japan csc deliberately disregarded the obliga- tions of the Geneva and Hague con- ventions He says that they have com- pelled the abandonment by the Russians of three plainly marked hospital ships, and that the wounded who were aboard the half-sunken steamer Andara also had to be removed. These ships, says General Balashoff. were anchored where they did not interfere with the fire of the Japanese against the Russian war ships. He further says that the Japan- csc, who use balloons to direct their fire, and who drop their shells with minute accuracy into the harbor, can not mistake the hospital ships, and he charges they deliberately drive the wounded from the ships for the pur- pose of sinking the vessels.
 This occurred recently" continued General Balashoff, but earlier no- ticed several instances of concentra- tion of fire on portions of the city de- voted almost exclusively. to hospitals. Cs.Sler instances of uncivilized warfare are numerous, but I have no time to write them, scarcely have time to eat and sleep"
 General Balashoff requests that his letter serve as his protest to theNworld against the tactics of the Japanese.
 As an illustration of the difficulty of communicating with Port Arthur, it is learned that of six duplicate let ters which were sent from Chefoo to General Balashoff by various sources only one succeeded in reaching him.

Either Rich or Poor.
 Washington, Nov. 20. = President Roosevelt made an address to-day at the 10th anniversary celebration of St. Patriek's church and the dedication of Carroll hall, the new parochtal building and parish school. The Rev. Dr. D. J. Stafford, rector of St. Patrick's, acted as the master of ceremonies. Cardinal Gibbons, several archbishops and other dignitaries of the Catholic church at tended the exercises, the former making an address immediately preceding that of the president. H. B. r. MacFarland, president of the bcs.rd of commissioners of the District of Columbia was the concluding speaker, #ty .A'.
 The addresses were made from ball. cony on the second floor of the rectory, and the audience gathered in the streets. Dr. Stafford in his opening re- marks said that in the century and more that St. Patrick's church had worked in Washington no honor had come to it so great as the visit of Pres Iident Roosevelt.
 The Knights of Columbus formed a guard of honor for the president, but a squad of policemen was necessary to open the way through the crowded streets. Cheer after cheer went up as the president and his escort appeared. He was met at his carriage by Father Stafford, and as he passed into the reetory a children's choir of 200 voices, stationed in front of the church, sang hymns,
 When the president appeared on the balcony he was cheered loudly, the dem- onstration doubling when Cardinal Gib- bons took place by the presidents s side and invited him to be seated.
 Dr. Stafford, the first speaker, told of the work of St. Patriek's parish, it's growth and it's aim for the future, and introduced Cardinal Gibbons, who tes- tified to the value of the parish and and gave great credit to the efforts of its rector. Dr. Stafford then introduced President Roosevelt. as the "nan of even handed justice; the president Of the square deal" E
 President Roosevelt thanked the rec tor, and joined in the laugh which pro- ceeded prolonged cheering. Then he spoke as follows: Cardinal Gibbons, Father Stafford, and
