Possible Action on the Tariff.

A Washington dispatch says: No dc.

cision will be reached as to such &C.

congress until the subject has been
considered thoroughly by the president

friends. The president is not bound by
any preconceived views on the sub.

most desirable course to pursue. He
is not inclined 10 favor an extraordi.

TO THE BITTER END
RUSSIANS ARE NOT WILLING TO
END THE WAR.
VIII Reject Mediation and Continue
Operations In the Far East Until
the Cars Forces Conquer Japs.

"Russia will pursue the war In the
far east to the bitter end; that is, I'M
Ill Russia has conquered" These are
the opening words Of an emphatic
statement made at the Russian en-
bassy in Washington on Monday by
Count Cassini, the Russian embassa-
dor.
Several times recently the embassa-
dor, in the name of his government,
has categorically denied the POSSIBLE
ity Of any intervention in the war, but
the recurrence of rumors that the
powers contemplated mediation has
caused the ambassador to re.terate on
behalf OF his government its position
regarding Intervention or mediation Of
any kind. The statement continues:

what have so often said, that Russia

ladies thought no gentlemen had been

who persisted in wearing a veil. AS
this young lady was very timid, she
was not introduced to the rest of the
party. She was known only as Annie.
Before the party broke up the girls

there was young man in the party.

READY TOSURRENDER
SOLDIERS At PORT ARTHUR
HAVE HAD ENOUGH.
But General stoeesel, Though Confined
to Hospital, Issues Orders to Men
70 Die at Posts Rather Than
Surrender.

Latest advices from Port Arthur are
to the effect that wound received by
General Stoessel has necessitated his
confinement In the hospital, that he re-
fuses to relinquish the command OF
the garrison, and that he has issued or.
ders to the troops to die at their posts
rather than surrender.
It is said that the spirit of the Rus
sian troops has been dampened by con.
tinuous work, the lack Of supplies and
the hopelessness Of their ability to
make any successful defense OF the
fortress.
It Is said further that many Of the
Russian soldiers are ready to surren.
der, but that they are kept at their
posts by officers, who threaten them
with revolvers, and that several SOL
diers who were suspected of desire
to desert have been shot as q warning
to other would-be deserters.
The Japanese now believe that the
garrison has almost reached the limit
Of human endurance.
Spies and Russians who have sur
rendered report that rations In the
fortress have been reduced. The
wounded found by the Japanese are
emaciated.
Russian artillery shells partly filled
with wood and which would not ex
plode have been found. This shows
that the Russians are short of material
for making heavy ammunition.
The capture OF the eastern fortified
ridge will mean the surrender Of the
fortress in couple Of weeks, unless
the garrison there retires to the iso
lated fort. This seems improbable,
however, and cold weather and the
lack Of food and ammunition render
desperate resistance unlikely.

SINKING OF THE VARIAG.
Russian Warship Could Have Escaped
But for the korietz.

Russian WdTSUIP SOOi0 -SS~rS~
But for the korietz.
A letter from Chemulpo to the Lon
don Standard gives some interesting
details of incidents preceding the de-
struction of the Variag and the Kori-
etz on Feb. 9. 1t appears that when a
Russian transport was sunk in Fusan
harbor on Feb. 6, the first overt act OF
war, the japanese minister in Seoul
heard of it the same day, but no word
reached M. Pavloff, the Russian min
lister. The japanese authorities in
stantly sent word to the captain OF
little Japanese gunboat lying in Che
mulpo harbor under the guns of the
Variag, but his orders compelled him
to remain where he was, and he ex-
pected almost hourly to be blown out
OF the water. He did not dare to move
for fear of exciting suspicion.
Finally, on the night of the 7th, he
slipped his cable and drifted down to
a position between the British cruiser
talbot and the United States cruiser
Vicksburg, thinking the Russians
would not dare to take the risk OF hit
ting either of them. But the Variag
made no sign, having received no hint
OF what was going on. On the 9Th the
Japanese gunboat received orders to
leave port under cover OF darkness
and Join the fleet of Admiral Uriu out
side. This she did. It was her disap-
pearance that first awakened the cap
tain of the Variag to a perception Of
his cruel dilemma. Then came the
Japanese ultimatum compelling him to
leave port. He still had a chance Of
escape, for the Variag was very much
faster than eny Of the japanese war.
ships, but he foolishly determined to
handicap himself by towing the slow
little tub Korietz, instead of taking her
crew on board and scuttling her. I'm
able to avail himself of his ships
speed, he was, of course, helpless, and
went out to certain destruction, as all
the world knows.
