no ammunition on BOARD the llaW4er

NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUE.

No Indications Of Deadlock in North
Sea Affair.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 18.-The facts
do not warrant the report that Count
Benkendorfi, the Russian ambassador
to Great 81 italn, may be recalled on
account OF the present hitch in the
Anglo Russian North sea convention.
Russia has taken exception to the Ian
guage Of the English text of the ar
ticle relating to liking the blame and
has proposed some notifications, but
there is no evidence yet that dead
lock has been reached. The admiralty
is undoubtedly exercising influence
upon the foreign office in the matter.
The Novoe Vremya contends that the
English text goes beyond The Hague
conference, which only provides for .
commission to determine the facts and
in no sense to make an arbitra1 award.
London, Nov. 18.-The Associated
Press learns that there is no justihca-
| ton whatever for the sensational de-
auctions made in the London Daily
Telegraphs dispatch from ST. Peters
burg from the delay in signing the
Anglo-Russian North sea convention.
Russia has accepted in principle the
international commission, but the eA-
act text of the convention must be the
subject of agreement between the two
powers. The present difference con-
Germs small details of the wording OF
the agreement as submitted by Great
Britain for Russia's consideration.

Russia, However, Cannot Participate
in Peace Conference.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 18.-The Rus
sian formal reply regarding the con-
vening OF The Hague conference is not
expected till next week. In the mean
time the views of other powers are
being ascertained through the Russian
representatives abroad. While there
Is no reason to believe that Russia can
agree to participate in a conference
during the war there is every indica-
ton that Russia will not only not re-
sent the proposal but that her reply
will be Of a cordial character.
In the course of q conversation on
the subject between Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff and Charge d,Aftairs Eddy
of the American embassy the former
spoke feelingly Of Russia's great inter.
est in the work and the aim Of tho

Nicholas and the important fact de-
veloped that 1t had been Russia's In
tention, had the war not interviewed
to herself invite the powers to q sec

in progress, however, Count IIamsdorn
explained it was q patent difficulty

Chicago, Nov. 18.-A mob of sympa-

attacked several wagons of the John.
ston Chair company in the heart Of the
business district during the day and
for time traffic was blocked by a
mass of struggling rioters. The driv-

reinforcements of police arrived.
Similar trouble occurred when two
wagons loaced with chairs drove up

A crowd of 1000 persons followed

disappeared Tor time, but reappeareu
in the AFTERNOON. Inc Japanese consul
sent q cutter out to meet them and
informed the nearest destroyer, the
Kasuml. that the hastoropny had been

first the ships knew OF the sinking OF
the kastoropny. The kasumi trans

The sinking OF the Rastoropny by
the Russians relieved the Japanese Q,
an embarrassing position. A repeti:

stroy or cut the RastorOpny out would
have appeared like admitting previous
wrong doing.
