Quick Action Necessary to Capture

troyers at Che Foo.

Mukden, via Pekin, Nov. 17.-If
there is to be any activity at the front
in the near future, it is apparent that
the initiative must be taken By the
Japanese. 1t is reported that the Jap
anese are concentrating strong fore
es on their left and center, undoubted-
ly with the realization that they must
be assured of speedy success before
attacking, as it will be impossible for
the armies to remain in the field with
out shelter, owing to the bitterly cold
nights. The Russians have greatly
strengthened their positions and hope
to hold Mukden through the winter.
Cold Weather Stops Fighting.
Mukden, Wednesday, via Tien Tsin.
-Four days of sharp, cold weather
has silenced the artillery and infant
ry fire between the opposing forces
and has driven the soldiers into their
dugouts along the entire line. The ap-
parent impossibility of either side to
eject the other from their burrows and
the fact that if either side succeeded in
advancing it could not dig the other
out of it's cantonments on account of
the frosts, seems to promise a winters
inactivity, although the Japanese,
three days ago, made a small recon-
Nuisance towards the extreme east as
though they were Investigating the
possibilities for a flanking movement.
1t seems impossible that either side in
any case could do more than occupy
their opponents winter quarters.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 17-As a result
of the dispatches received from Gen
eral Stoessel, the war Office expresses
entire confidence that Port Arthur
will be able to hold out until the arriv-
al of the Russian Pacific squadron.
Sailing of African Coast.
Dakar, Africa, Nov. 1.-THE Rus

for the far east, sailed from here last
evening.
Feeling the Powers.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 1.-THE Rus
sian formal reply says the Circular
Note, regarding the convening of the
Hague conference is not expected until
next week. In the meantime views OF
other powers are being ascertained
through the Russian representatives
abroad. While there is no reason to
believe that Russia can agree to par
ticipate in a conference during war,
there is every Indication that Russia
will not resent the proposal, but that
her reply will be of cordial character.
Peace Still Reiens.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 17.-Facts do
not warrant the sensational report that
Count Benkendorff, Russian ambasso-
dor to Great Britain, may be recalled
on account of the present hitch in the
North Sea controversy, Gas intimated
in the London Daily Telegraph this
morning from st. Petersburg). Rus
sia has taken exception to the Ian
guage of the English text of the ar
ticle relating to the fixing of the blame
and has reposed some notifications,
but there is no evidence yet that a
deadlock has been reached. The ad-
miralty is undoubtedly exercising
some influence on the foreign office in
the matter
Wild Reports Not Justified.
London, Nov. 17.-The Associated
Press learns that there is no justifica-
ton whatever for the sensational de-
ductions made in the London Daily Tel,
egraph's dispatch from st. Petersburg.
published today from delay in sign
ing the Anglo-Russian North Sea con-
vention articles. Russia accepts in
the international commission,
but the exact text of the convention
must be the subject of the agreement
between the two powers. The present
difference concerns only small details
of the wording of the agreement, as
submitted by Great Britain for Rus
sia's consideration.

River where the soldiers approach un.
armed and get water under the rec
ognized mutual sanction not to fire on
soldier. Here the noble art of war
is confined to fisticuffs and swapping
cigarettes, jackknives and food, all of
which are priced. Familiarities are in
evitable where the long lines are in
continuous contact The armies have
been stationary so long that they are
drawing supplies, fuel and horse for
age from the rear, all other supplies
being exhausted.
Wanted to Make Sure.
Che Foo, Nov. 17.-Three Japanese
torpedo boat destroyers entered the
harbor here today to ascertain if the
Russian torpedo-boat destroyer, Ras-
torpony, was there. They were in
formed by the Japanese consul that
the vessel had been sunk. The consul
says this was the first the Japanese
knew of the blowing up of the boat and
the news was sent by wireless tele-
graph to the Japanese flagship. The
destroyers then disappeared in the d.
rection of Port Arthur.
Again RepuIse All Attacks.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 17-General
Stoessel in his recent dispatches to the
