st. Petersburg, July 1S.-5.56 p. NJ
The war Office has not received an Of
fetal report of the Russian attack on
the japanese positions at Mo Tien
pass, but it Is not regarded as imprOb-
able that such an attack has been
made, as Gen. Keller Is very active.
II it turns out to be true, however. the
war Office declares 1t is impossible that
the attacking force could have consist
ed of two divisions as reported. and
more likely the force was composed of
two regiments.
According to the general staff's
latest reports. the Japanese seem to
have suspended their advance from all
points. but they may only be temper
arily resting their forces. although it
is considered possible that they may
have decided to await the result of the
operations against Port Arthur.
New Chwang is still in possession of
the Russians.
A dispatch from Gen. Sakharoff, to-
day. confirms the dispatch of The AS
ISOLATED Press to the effect that the

the Port Arthur or the Vladivostok

TO ELIMINATE PACED RAGING,
sentiment Manifest at Annuat Meeting of National Cycling Associsttom.

New York, Feb. 23. Emphatic senti-
 ment against paced racing, and partic-
 ularly motor pacing, was manifest at the annual convention of the National Cycling association held here to-day, and it was determined that the associ- ation this year will favor sprint racing and work toward the elimination of the paced race on the ground that it does not give a fair test of the ability of the riders and destroys their vitality for a
 series of races during the season. The following officers were elected: President, A. G. Batchelder, of New York; first vice-president, O. B. Bloc mecke, of Newark, N. J.; second vice. president, P. T. Powers, of Jersey City, secretary, R. Vandyke, of New York; board of control R. F. Kelsey (chair- man), of Boston, F. R. Wendelschaefer,
 of Providehce, N. E. Turgeon, of Buf- falo, c. Ross Kloserman, of Baltimore,
 Harry Hartley, of Jacksonville, J. N. Sharp, of Salt Lake City, c. w. Carpen- ter, of San Francisco, and Frank L.. Kramer, of New Jersey; board of ap-
 peals, Abbott Bassett (chairmarl), of Boston, M. L. Bridgman, of New York, S. A. Miles, of Chicago, Albert Mott, of Baltimore, and Walter w. Wilson, of Buffalo.
 It was decided to hold national anna teur championship meets at the coming St. Louis fair in connection with the professional championship and motor championship meets.

TREATY WITH FRANCE
Convention Of Arbitration soon to be
 Signed.


 Paris, Feb. 2S.-According to informa- ton conveyed by Baron d'Estournelles de Constant. to the members of a par liamentary group on international arbi- tration at a meeting held at the baron S residence to-day, a treaty of arbitration between France and the United States will be signed shortly.
 The baron told his hearers that he had news which showed that under the in structions of President Roosevelt, the state department at Washington was engaged in studying an arbitration treaty with France. He said that three important steps taken recently in the interests of international arbitration were due to the initiative of President Roosevelt. These were, first, the sub- mission of the Pious fund case to The Hague arbitration tribunal; second, the reference of Venezuelan questions to treaty with France. President Roose- welt deserved great credit, he said, for what he had done for the cause of ar bitration and the advancement of civil lization. He referred in terms of grati- f1cation to the growth of interest in ar filtration. The group has decided to publish brochure setting forth the re- suits os it's work in Europe and the United States.
 So far as is known here the treaty re- ferred to above will not differ in any important particular from the treaties for arbitration signed with Great Brit ain and Italy

AGAINST "ALv ADAMS.
"PoIicy King" must Serve Out His
 Sentence.


 Washington, Feb. 22.-The supreme court of the United States to-day decid- ed the case of Al Adams, the so-called policy king'' of New York, now under going sentence at Sing Sing prison, against him, the opinion being by Jus tice Day.
 Justice Day said: We think there was no unlawful search of seizure or compelling of this man to testify against himsels in the giving in evidence of what the police officer found in execut- ing the search warrant for the policy tickets
 Justice Day took up the contention set sorth in the petition that the statute was unconstitutional because it made these tickets when found in the posses sion of man prima facia evidence against him, the claim being made that they might be given to a blind man or an innocent man. In giving his conclu- sions on this subject, Justice Day said: We think the possession of these tickets may well be prima facia evil dence against. d man in order to give him full right and opportunity to show how he came into possession of them, and in any event it is within the power of the state in cases of this character to say what shall be prinaa facie evil dence in it's courts. We find no error in the judgment of the court of appeals of New York; and the same is affirmed. ;

SPECIAL REPORT MADE.
Mayor Harrison Not Held Responsible
 fn Any Way for Iroq quois Fire.

- - - =
 in Any Way for Iroq uois Fire.
 Chicago, Feb. 23.-The special grand jury which investigated the fire at the
 Iroquois theater made it's report to-day to Judge Chytraus. The report says:
 Tn fixing the liability oru first ir-
 quiry was necessarily to ascertain upon
 whom rested the responsibility of fur- nishing the apparatus necessary to ex- tinguish fire. as upon him or them alone, in our judgment, rested the di-
 rect duty of protecting the lives of those in the theater Our interpreta-
 ton of the ordinance made this plain duty of those connected with the man |agement of the theater and the evidence
 disclosed that full authority to procure
 the necessary apparatus was vested in
 Will J. Davis, manager: Thomas ].
 Noonan, business manager, and James
 E. Cummings, stage manager. These
 three men were indicted for nanslaugh- |ter).
 As to the liability of public officials this subject involves a clear elucidation of the duties of each as defined by law. That the city ordinances with respect to the inspection of tlleaters for the purpose of determining their safety and whether they were equipped with the appliances required for extinguish- ing fires were not compiled with was fully evident and that such inspection devolved primarily upon the conmis- sioner of buildings is clearly manifest- ed"
 (Building Commissioner George Wil- Hams and Building Inspector Edward Laughlin were indicted for palpable omission of duties).
 ''The mayors duty under the building ordinances, said the grand jury, is to revoke theater licenses when a report of noncompliance with the ordinances is made to hi neither by the depart ment of building or fire narshal There
 was no evidence before that violation of the city ordinances by the Iroquois theater was ever reported to him. The contingency, therefore, upon which his liability would arise never happened so far as we were able to ascertain. We
 are unable to construe the law which requires that the mayor shall take care that the laws and ordinances are faith fully executed to mean that he is to
 be held liable and personally responsi- ble for it's violation in respect to mat ters of which he has no personal knowl- edge and which are by law and the city ordinances placed under the control and supervision of some head of a depart ment."
