that Hutchinson shot first, then that

a strong speech in opening, and many
witnesses testified that Merchant was
abused and kicked. Merchant has not
vet been on the stand and it is thought

pated here of a third naval engage
ment which has taken place at Port

on the Corean coast there is no ques-

most of the advantage. The steamer
Wenchow from Port Arthur reports
that the Japanese bombarded Port Ar

do not hesitate to attack. The Chun-
chus are we'll armed and are urging

RUSSIA WILL FIGHT TO
 BITTER END.
Country'S Prestige Considered
 First of All.

Washington. Nov. Russia will pursue the war to the bitter end-that is, until she has con- quered."
 These are the words of Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador. He added:
 II make it my duty to repeat what I have often said, that Russia will not suspend in any case her military operations in the East. All rumors regarding the possible success of direct overtures for peace which Japan is said to have made to Russia, and regarding the posi- tions of the powers, in my opinion are stated for the purpose of con- vincing the public that the end of the war is close at hand. In this way it is hoped the public will be led to believe that Japanese loans offer good investment.
 Russia can no more admit of interference than Great Britain could have done in South Africa or could the United States in her war with Spain. Where the prestige of a country is at stake all other con- alterations are and must be put aside.''

 Hold on just a little longer. said Harper; and he ran to the sled and with leaden fingers undid a rope and threw it to his unfortunate friend. The current snatched it away. Again, again, and again and the precious cord hung over Paxson's chilled and nerveless arm. He took it between his teeth. Slowly he moved his hand around in circle and the rope--in truth a veritable lifeline-was wound and crossed many times around the wrist. Harper hauled the almost lifeless body out and away from the water. The frozen rope had bruised the flesh cruelly-but Pax sons life was saved.

MAKE WAR IMPOSSIBLE
Coming Arbitration Between Britain
and America May Be the Best
Vet M ada

London. Dec. ?.-In discussing the An
glo-American arbitration treaty, Sir
Thomas Barclay. prominently identified
with promoting amity between nations,
said:
1T Is possible the treaty will be moro
far-reaching than the Anglo French
treaty The treaty of 1897 provided for the
settlement of all differences between Great
Britain and the United States by arbitra-
ton. 1t need hardly be expected that the
new treaty will be in the same terms, but
it is desirable that a treaty between peo-
Piles speaking the same language should
go further than the Anglo French treaty
good loan from the treaty of 1877 would
be the clause providing that If one of the
parties raises the objection that national
honor or vital interest be involved the ar
bitrators should consist of an equal num-
Der of the nationaities Of the parties in
volved, and that If j decision by a ma or-
ity should become final if not protested
within thee months.
THE treaty of 1887 was defeated by
twenty-siX senators, many influenced by
Michael Davitt to believe that such a
treaty would delay home rule for Ireland.
Today no one can possibly couple home
rule with peaceful. businesslike methods
for dealing with international difficulties"
