THE WAR FROSTED.
Cold Weather Condemns Manehurian
 Armies to Inactivity.

Mukden, Nov. 16.-Four days of sharp cold has silenced the artillery. The infantry fire between the oppos- ing positions has driven the soldiers into dugouts along the entire line. It is apparently an impossibility for either side to eject the other from their burrows and the fact that in the event that one side succeeded in ad- vancing it could not dig the other out of it's cantOnments on account of frost. seems to promise a winter of inactiv- ity, although the Japanese three days ago made a small reconnaissance to- ward the extreme east as though in Vestigating the possibilities of a flank ing movement.
 It seems impossible Tor either side in any case to- more than occupy it's
 opponents winter quarters. Wells on
 both sides are dry and the opposing armies use the Shakhe river which the soldiers approach unarmed to get water under a recognized mutual sanction. Here the noble art of war is confined to fisticuffs, swapping cigarettes | jack knives and food.
 If there is any activity at the front in the near future it is apparent that the initiative must be taken by the Japanese. It is reported that the Jap | anese are concentrating on the right and left and center, The Russians have greatly strengthened their posi- | tiOns, and hope to hold Mukder l through the winter.

Breaks the Harmony of the
 Federation Convention
HOT SESSION YESTERDAY
Fate of RehelliOus Windy City Body Will Be Decided Today - The Eight Hour Day Question Promises Con- sumption of Time.

San Francisco, Cal. Nov. 1.-The Chicago federation fight was threshed out cn the floor Of the convention in the afternoon session Of the American Federation of Labor today. but after debate lasting two hours and half, the matter was finally referred on mo- tion to a committee on local and feder- atiOn bodies with instructions that the repOrt be made-at the earliest possible moment.
 Delegate Mole made an impassioned speech in behalf of the federationt The leaders seemed disposed to side track the question, John Mitchell, who OccC- pied the chair in place of President Gompers saying he would consider any measure to refer or defer the matter. The point at issue rested upon the re- fusal of the Chicago federal tion to com ply with the demands of the American federation to expeH two local Chicago unions. The basic principles of the whCle dispute rested on the question of trade jurisdiction OV CT the two Chi cago unions in question, which were not affiliated with the national body. They were upheld by the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, but the Chicago federation per sisted in disregarding the ruling and allowed the two seeding unions. to affiliate with the central body. The Chicago federation was thereupon ex- peIled from the national body until such time as it saw fit to comply with The edict of the executive council. The fight on the proposition was the hot test that yet has been Waged on the floor. The Chicago delegates stated that the members of the executive council of the American Federation Of Labor had refused to permit them to introduce new evidence in the case and each member of the council in turn took the floor and decidedly stated that such was not the case.
 The question, therefore, resolved into one of Veracity. The Chicago del eEates were desirous of making mo- ton to the effect that the convention appoint a special committee to journey 10 Chicago as soon as rossibie after the adjournment of the convention anC there study the situation at first hand In the interim they desired that WI liam Schardt, president of the CAi cago federation and Delegate Otter bury, be seated. This was designated by the opposition as mere subterfuS, and a cheap political trick and wa overruled. The debate was finali! stopped by a motion. which carried b. q big majority, setting 4:20 o'clock a the limit, after which no speeches ol the question could be delivered.
 Resolutions regarding Japanese ex clusion and the eradication of tuber cuIosis were tabled that they might b reconsidered.

A Panama Revolution Was Getting
 Will Under Way.

Panama, Nov. 1.-The treaty be- tween the United States and Panama has prevented one more revolution on the isthmus. The rumored coup d'etat by the military element, it seems, was more serious than it was at first thought to be. Minister Barrett, after consultation with the Panama govern ment and General Davis, commander of the canal zone, decided to ask Ad- miral Goodrich to leave one Of the war ships of the United States Pacific squadron here to prevent any possible disturbance.
 This morning two hundred marines arrived here General Huertas, min ister of war, has announced his inten- ton to resign. which will clear the political atmosphere. Though distur- bances~are not feared in the present circumstances Panama is greatly ex- cited.

 Windsor Castle.

LCndon, Nov. 17.-One of the most brilliant performances Windsor Castle has ever seen occurred tonight when Beerbohm Tree, by the Rings com mand, took down a special company to reproduce A Mans Shadow" The stage was erected in the historic Waterloo Chamber, and the audience was worthy of it's setting. Tn the front row of gold ard red plush chairs sat King Edward. Next to him was Queen Amelie of Portugal. then King Charles of Portugal with Queen Alexandra at his left. They were fianked on the other side by the Prince and Princess of Woles and the Duke and Duchess of Connaught. All wore the Windsor un- form, namely, evening dress with red cellars and lapels. The orders worn by the men and the jewels on the wom- ems dresses added brilliancy to an au- dience such as has seldom gathered in England.
 King Edward and King Charles both followed the performance vivaciously. Mrs. James Brown Potter especially attracted attention while another Amer jean. Geraldine Wilson. a small child of nine, upon whom this Jekyll and Hyde melodrama hinges, also won frequent applause. The cast includes such well known players as Lionel BIough, Gerald Dumaurier, Clarencs Blakiston and Kate Cutler.

RUSSIANS NEW HOPE.
stoessePs Message Reanimates St. Pe-
 tersburg.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 17.-The rejOic- ing over the undaunted spirit display ed by General StOessel in his telegram of congratulation to Emperor Nicholas on the anniversary of his ascension to the throne and officially announcing the failure of General Nogis nine. day attempt to present Port Arthur to the mikado as a birthday gift, is tempered
 by private information that the gal
 lant commander of the garrison had
 been wounded.
 General Stoessel was struck in the
 head by a splinter from shell while
 he was personally directing the repuIse of a particularly desperate assault, but fortunately the wound is not considered serious and General StoesseI has no, been obliged to relinquish command ] General Stoessel is regarded as the | heart and soul of the defense, and his ! death O. disability which would cause him to relinquish command would bC regarded as an irTemediable misfOr- tune.
 1 Other information sent by Genera | StoesseI, which has not been divulg l ed for strategic reasons, it is said by l the war office, is by no means unfav- orabIe. While the garrison is now hem med in the citadel itself not one o ! the main forts has been taken. The ] town is well supplied with provisions and General Stoessel expresses con ] fdence that it can be maintained un. | til the arrival of Admiral ROjestvens- l ky's second Pacific squadron.
 The report that the armOred cruisei
 Gromoboi had been injured at Vladi
 vostok is confirmed The vesse | grounded as she was returning to tn, harbor from a trial trip after the re fpair of injuries received in the figh | with Admiral Kammimura's squadron
 but at the admiralty the injuries ar
 said to be slight.

Fighting Will Probably Be
 Resumed Today
IN SPITE OF WINTER
It Is not Believed That the Fight Will Be Decisive but That the ViCtOrS Will Only Have Their Choice of Winter Quarters.

The Japanese army south of Muk- den is reported to be concentrating on the left and center, presumably with the intention of attacking, and a re- newal of the fighting is expected to- day.
 The statements given out at St. Petersburg regarding the situation at Port Arthur are more hopeful and represent that the garrison may be expected to hold out until the arrival of Vice Admiral Rojestvensl1y's squad ron. The report that General Stoessel has been wounded is confirmed, but it is said his injury is not sufficient to prevent him from directing the defense of the fortress.
