st. Petersburg, Nov. 16-The forth
coming meeting Of the presidents OF
the thirty-eight provincial zemstovs
is absorbing public attention to the ex-
clusion of other questions.
The continued suggestions from
abroad regarding peace are treated
like their predecessors as unworthy Of
serious consideration The mere men
ton or mediation arouses the ire OF
those in authority. The reiteration of
the statement that President Roose-
velt, having the support Of Gleat Brit
ain and France, had already been ap-
preached by Japan and was ready to
offer his offices in view of Russia's
position is not considered to be a
friendly act. Russia will push the war

Trouble with the army reserve men
continues in various places especially
in Poland, but the authorities are
making efforts to allay the causes OF
discomfort and many Of the abuses
complained of have been corrected.
The problem of caring for the families
of the reserve men, many of whom are
left almost destitute, is receiving ear
nest consideration.

BIG BLAZE AT JERSEY CITY.
Abattoirs and Several Hundred Feet
of Docks Destroyed.

New York, Nov. 16.-sthe abattoirs
at the foot of Sixth street, Jersey City,
burned during the day. Trains Of cat
tie cars belonging to the Erie Ilallload
company were drawn out OF the fire
zone. The flames ran rapidly along
the water front toward the north end
and soon communicated to the docks
of the Berwyn-White Coal company.
The fire on the coal company's docks
did not get much headway. 1t caught
on the top of the chutes and was quick
ly quenched by ireboats.
The wind, which was from the north
east, carried the flames along the 300
foot pier running out from the abat-
toirs and as the engines could not ap-
proach the pier was soon ablaze from
one end to the other An iron covered
warehouse in which there was a great
quantity of produce and meats was
gutted and the roof fell in.
The fire spread along the water front
from Fifth to Seventh streets and
burned the entire length of the 300
foot pier running out from the abat-
toirs.
w. A. Herman, manager of the stock
yards, said that about 1000 dressed
hogs and sheep were consumed by the
flames and that about 200 live hogs
and 200 live sheep perished.

iNvEsTlGA ORDERED.
Rural Carriers Who Mixed in PoIitic,
Will Lose Jobs.


Washington, Nov. 16.-Summary &C
tion is to be taken by the administra
ton in case of officers of the Rural
Carriers National association, charged
with partisan activity during the past
campaign.
Chairman Cortelyou of the Republic
an national committee and Secretary
Overstreet of the Republican congress
SiOnal committee were approached
some weeks ago and were asked to
make certain pledges concerning leg
islation in which rural carriers are in
terested Chairman Cortelyou declined
to enter into negotiations with the or
ganization, and Secretary Overstreet,
who is chairman of the house commit
tee on postoftices, absolutely refused to
make any pledges as to his position
on measures providing increased sal
aries for the carriers.
The president, it is announced, has
directed the civil service commission
to make thorough investigation.
One charge made against the rural
carriers organization is that it's rep
resentatives endeavored to encompass
the defeat of members who voted
against the proposition introduced in
congress last winter, permitting car.
riers to act as agents and solicitors for
hire on rural routes. If evidence can
be obtained to substantiate these
charges, every carrier involved will be
dismissed from the service.

cAssINl ISSUES STATEMENT.
Russia Will Pursue the War to the
Bitter End.


Washington, Nov. 16.-"Russia will
pursue the war in the Far East to the
bitter end, that is, until Russia has
conquered"
These are the opening words of an
emphatic statement made at the Rus
sian embassy by Count Cassini, the
Russian ambassador The statement
continues:
81 deem it my duty to reiterate what
have so often said, that Russia will
not suspend in any case her military
operations in the Far East.
Russia can no more admit of inter-
ference than Great Britain could in the
Transvaal. nor than the United States
could in her war with Spain. Where
the prestige of country is at stake,
all other considerations and public
matters must stand aside.''
