REPAIRING STORM DAMAGES.
Telegraphic Normal Conditions Are
Not Yet Attained

NEW YORK. November 1j-While con-
siderable progress has been made in re-
pairing the damage wrought by Sunday
nights gale, conditions today had by no
means become normal. After more than
thirty-six hours of steady work the re-
pair crews sent out by the telegraph and
telephone companies when the serious
nature of the storm was first realized had
succeeded in patching up the main lines,
but the wires in many cases were work
ed under most discouraging conditions
and were unable to handle the great mass
of matter that had accumulated during
the hiatus.
Good connections had been established
between New York, Philadelphia and Bos-
ton, but beyond those points emergency
circuits were still In use. Wall street was
in much better condition than yesterday.
Direct communication between the cotton
exchanges of New York and New Orleans,
which were entirely cut off yesterday,
had been established by the Western
Union, and there were two wires between
New York and the cattle and grain mar
kets in Chicago. The Chicago wires were
working slowly, however and were hours
behind in handling the regular routine
business.
In eastern Maine where more than 200
telegraph and telephone poles were blown
down during the storm, the wires were
still out of service

GERMANY's ATTITUDE.
Reports Sent to the Embassy in Lon
don-Nihilists Released.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, November 15.-The Bir-
mingham England Post asserts that long
and important reports. regarding the Ger
man attitude toward the international Sit
uation growing out of the departure OF the
Baltic feet for the far east and incidents
attending that voyage thus far dealing par
tcularly with the supply of coal. have been
reported to the German embassy In London
for presenta ton to Lord Lansdowne.
The greatest Importance is attached to
the report In diplomatic circles.
The Berlin Tokalanzeiger says that
Russian torpedo boat stopped German
steamer off Saigon and compelled her to
deliver fourteen tons of coal. The captain
of the steamer, who is an Englishman. re-
turned to Saigon and laid before the British
consul a formal complaint against the
action of the torpedo boat.
cablegram from St. Petersburg says
Three famous nihilists, Col. Aschenbren-
ner. Basil Ivanoff and Vera Figner, were
today released from Peter Paul fortress
after serving twenty years of solitary con-
finement there. All three emerged physical
and mental wrecks. Their position has
been little improved by release, for they
were at once condemned to spend the rest
of their lives at Pustozersk, within the
Arctic circle.

Bank and whether in any event the Rus
sian ships were justified in firing.
The Associated Press learns that Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky's detailed report
shows that some shots from the battle
ships hit the Russian protected cruiser Au-
rora, one of the shells entering the ward
room and wounding priest, who afterward
died at Tangier from the injuries which ne

that this is additional proof of the goou
faith of the vessels which fired on What

own ships of the cruiser division.

CAANOhAOE
Begun Early This Morning
in Shakhe Region
FROM THE SIEGE GUNS
SO TO go SHELLS RAINED HOURLY
AGAINST JAPS' POSITION.
Most Serious Attempt Yet Made by the
Cars Large Ordnance-Heavy
Artillery Fire.

MU-kDEN, November 13, via T1en Tsln,
November 15.-An unbroken cannonade or
seige guns, throwing fifty or sixty shells
hourly against the Japanese position in the
region of Shakhe station, begun early TINS
morning, ended only at nightfall, when
more than half a thousand big contact
shells had been thrown into the Japanese
army's strongest position in the plain, for
the purpose of demoralfzing the work or
fertilization concentrated at that point for
the past four weeks
Todays bombardment was the most Sc
rious attempt yet made by the Russians
large guns, and it was made on account
of the apparent determination of the Jap
anese to make Shakhe station an impreg-
nable defense of the railway behind. Both
sides have so dug themselves into the
ground, night and day, that artillery fire
at Port Arthur is practically Ineffective
and the ammunition is nearly wholly
wasted.
Both sides, recognizing this, are resorting
to the competition of big guns, and regular
field artillery is only occasionally engaged
Peking Refuses Passes.
The abuse of the Chinese imperial GUS
toms transit passes for merchandise and
baggage into Manchuria via Sinmintin,
thereby making recent traffic an abuse OF
contraband regulations and neutrality, has
caused the Peking authorities to refuse
further passes. This has cut off large sup
plies of foreign food and other products
and has raised prices
A reign of mercantile lawlessness exists,
but is controlled by the care of the Rus
sian authorities in their transactions to
keep prices and internal conditions normal.
The distress of the natives has so In
creased as to render the previous incon-
venience and loss of profits caused by the
extinction of foreign trade and the total
annulling of communication between the
north and south of Manchuria insignificant.
Efforts to Relieve Distress.
The native officers here and also Viceroy
Yuanshaikai, at Tien-Tsin. working in
harmony to relieve distress and are also
working with the foreign aid societies and
feeding 10000 refugees daily at Mukden.
Owing to obstacles in the way of filing
and proving claims for damages by the
Russian forces most deserving refugees
have not received compensation provided
in Gen. Kuropatkin's proclamation. Even
the weathiest farmers and gentry are eat
ing inadequate charity cruel from the pub
lie kitchens.
The largest shops chief sales consist of
a few foreign commodities sold to the sol
diers such as timed milk, tobacco and
candles. Conservative Chinese have pre-
vented lawlessness or anything resembling
popular feeling and conditions are entirely
unlike what they were in Chilli province
during foreign occupation at the time Of
the Boxer trouble.
The epithet foreign devil' is hardly ever
heard in the streets, notwithstanding the
present warning of two superior powers in
a neutral country.

WIRE SERVICE CUT OFF.
Remarkable Expedients Of Chicago
Brokers to Reach New York.

CHICAGO, November l5-Cut on from
the east by the storms destruction of tele-
graph and telephone wires. Chicago brok-
ers have resorted to extraordinary means
of communicating with their New York
Offices.
Messages were sent around the world by
way Of Yokohama, but no replies were re-
ceived in time to be of value for the days
trading. In other instances messengers
were dispatched to New York on the
twenty-hour flyers which leave Chicago
just after noon, the hope being that the
fast train would be able to reach the me-
tropolis before the opening of the stock ex-
change today. Still another expedient was
to telegraph orders to Rochester or Buff
falo. to which cities wires were in opera
ton, and from which the orders were
mailed TO New York city.
1t was the most complete tie-up of wire
service that the stock exchange has known
IN the last sixteen years. There was no
time during the day when any broker knew
the condition of the New York market at
the moment. quotations being so far be-
hind time as to be valueless

TO CUT DOWN EXPENSES.
Notification Regarding Telephones Is
sued in the War Department.

In the general interest of economy, As
sistant Secretary Oliver of the War Depart
ment today notified all the chiefs of bu-
reaus and other officers of the army sta
toned in this city who have telephones in
their homes that these instruments will no
longer be maintained at public expense. The
telephone service in the department and its
branches in this city is also to be reduced
to the lowest possible limit compatible with
the interests of the government
1t is understood that similar action will
be taken In other government departments
and that a great saving will be made in
the governments telephone expenses in this
city. Secretary Morton. who has been in
vestigating the subject for several weeks
past, will probably submit his report to the
President In a few days.
There is no immediate prospect OF the es-
tablishment of an Independent government
telephone service in this city. the necessity
for such service having been removed 1t
is said by satisfactory arrangements with
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company for service.
