ObvfOusly UuWtne to Attack Enemy
 His Numerical Superior.
 St. Petersburg. Nov. 2.--(2:15 a. m.)--- The expectation of serious develop ments at the theatre of war again has failed or realization. Todays official dispatches record nothing more serious than the usual skir- mishes The strategists at the War office are generally inclined to believe that the expected battle might be de- ferred and possibly may not occur this year, though the Japanese may make a desperate effort to flank General Ku- ropatkin and compel him to surrender Mukden.
 If General JKuropatkin is convinced that the Japanese are now numerically superior, he may decide to draw of, as 1t would obviously be unprofitable to risk a general engagement until the vast armies to be placed under his com mand can reach Manchuria.
 1t would obviously xzfihwgzzz1bomjg,a u - Whatever happens. however, 1t Is not likely that the Japanese can take Ku- ropatkin unawares. Repeated recon naissancesi beyond the Japanese lines betray the strength and purposes of Field Marshal Oyama's movements.
 If the Japanese. really intend to ad- vance, it is likely they will do so im- mediateIy and not await the arrival of the Sth Russian corps. the first echelon of which Is already at Mukden.

TREATY wITH FRANcE.
Agreement signed For the Natiens by
 Hay and Jusserand.

AAy anu JuSgeKn80s Washington, Nov. 1.-The only per- sons present when the seals were af- fxed to the arbitration treaty with France were Secretary Hay. Ambassa- dor Jusserand. John n. CoughlIn, acting chief of the diplomatic bureau and Secretary Hays faithful messenger. Edward Savoy. The prelIminaries oc- cupied very little time. While the treaty is the briefest ever negotiated here every line of it's short text is full of meaning. Out of deference to the United States Senate. to which this treaty will be submitted when 1t as- sembles in December, the state Depart ment Is not able to make public its text. However, 1t is very much like the treaty which was negotiated Octo- Der 14, 1908. by Lord Lansdowno for England and Ambassador Cambon for France. The important clauses of that convention may. therefore, be recalled to indicate the character of the treaty concluded today.
 The protocol provided that in con- sideration that Article XIX of The Hague convention reserved to the con tracing parties the right to include arrangements with a view to the arbi- tration of questions which they might consider possible to submit to such treatment. the signatories have con- cluded an agreement that:
 Article 1.-Differences which may arise of legal nature or relating 10 the interpretation of treaties existing between the two contracting parties and which 1t may not have been possi- ble to settle by diplomacy, shall be referred to the permanent court of ar- bitration established at The Hague bv the convention of the 29th of July, 1899. Provided. nevertheless, that they do not affect the vital interests, the in- dependence, or the honor of the two contracting states and do not concern the interests of third parties.
 Article 2.--In each individual case the high contracting parties before ap- pealing to the permanent cout of ar bitration shall conclude a special ar- rangement defining clearly the matter in dispute; the scope of power of the arbitrators and the period to be fixed for the formation of the arbitral tri- bunal and the several stages Of the proceedings.
 Article 3.-The present agreement is concluded for a period of five years from the day of signature of this treaty"
 It Is the opinion of the officials here l that this convention does not in any way threaten the predominance in this hemisphere of the Monroe Doctrine.
 The treaty is te be followed very soon by one between, America and AtaaSp

SUCCESSOR TO ELDER.
Henry Moeler Takes the Place of the
 Cincinnati ArchblahOp.

Cincinnati Archbishop.
 Cincinnati, Nov. 1.--Archbishop Hen " Moeler is receiving many cable grams and telegrams of coincidence on account of the death of Archbishop Elder. The bells of St. Peters Ca thedraI occupied the hour from to 7 this morning in toli eighty six times for the dead preIate. The celebration of All Saints" day began with prayers for the dead at all the churches which were attended by un- usual crowds at the early morning services and continued throughout the day.
 The third archbishop of Cincinnati is Most Rev. Moeler. D. D., until the death of Archbishop Elder, the coad- tutor and titular archbishop of Arcop- oils.
 He Is a native born and raised a Cincinnatian. He attended school at St. Joseph's and then went to St (. to enter the American College for his collegiate studies.

In 1879 he became chancellor to Bishop Chatard, at Indianapolis, but a year later Archbishop Elder called Dr. Moeler to be his chancellor and secre- tary. For twenty years he occupied this position. being the closest com panion to his superior.
 On August 27. 1900. Dr. Moeler was consecrated Bishop of Columbus, and on April 27. 1903, he received the pa- pal bull from Rome appointing him coadjutor to Cincinnati with the right of succession.
 Archbishop Moeler was born Decem- Der II, Is49. In physical Appearance he is in ta'rect contrast to the de- ceased prelate. He is of large. impos- ing stature. a. forceful speaker and a rasarvaH man.

HURaYINo TO sr. PETERSBURG.


 OMcers Desached at vise Expectes
 to Arrive in Two Dayn.
 St. Petersburg. Nov. 2.--(2:1B A. M.) The four ofacers detached from the Baltic squadron to testify regarding the North Sea affair are expected to reach St. Petersburg in two days 1T Is hoped they will be able to throw clear light upon this mysterious in- cident. v
 The news of the departure Of Vice Admiral Rojestvensixy and his ships from vigo has considerably relieved the tension here. The grcat mass of Russians are quite hs suspicious of Great Britain's motives as Britons are of Russia's purposes and there has been considerable apprehension here that Great Britain might use the trawier incident as q pretext for detaintns the Baltic squadron,
 This apprehension Is now largely ale layed. though fears are expressed in some quarters that there may be fur ther complications before the Fleet gets through sues canal or around the Cape of God Hope. The situation, however, is being more dispassionate- iy discussed and charges against the fishermen are no longer being de- claimed.
 Allowance Is also made for the sx- asperation of Great Britain over the seemingly callous, action of Admiral Rojestvensky in going on his way after firing on the trawiers and In not re- porting the incident until he reached vfgo. The explanation offered in the highest source seems to acquit the Ad- miral of all blame. It is pointed out that he could not send dispatch by torpedo boat. all craft of that de- seription being ahead of the battle ships and cruisers and that7he had no alternative except 10 detaph a cruiser, Admiral Rotpstvepsky was too appre. fensive of revealing his whareabouts tto do this, fearing an attack in Brit ish waters, and so. 1t is theofized. de- cided to proceed to vigo with the whole of the squadron.
 From another reliable source the As- sociated Press learns that the ctrcum- stances of the firing, as detailed by the Russian officers. closely resemble the facts reported by the Admiral of the fishing fleet. When abreast of the trawlers the Russian squadron was formed in two divisions. the cruisers steamed east and the battleships west, the latter getting among the fishing fleet and opening hre.
 When nearly clear of the fishing craft, which were heading towards the battIeships. some Russian shells flew oyer the trawlers and struck cruisers, one of which. the Aurora, was hit several times and some of her men were wounded. including a priest, who died.
 The transport Anatoia apparently be- came entangIed among the trawiers, which she mistook for torpedo boats and signaled for aid. thereby leading the officers of the battleships to believe the trawlers were attacking the Anatola. This coupled with the ap- ,pearance of two mysterious torpedo boats steaming towards the battleships resulted in the fatal cannonade.

 From other sources the Associated Press learns that the King privately expressed keen displeasnre with the tone adopted by certain section of the London press towards the agree ment to submit the North Sea case to an international commission.
 It is expected that at the Cabinet meet ing tomorrow decision will be reach ed as to the date. place of meeting and personnel of the commission.

FLEEING FROM kC $50 \.

With the arrival of the North German
LLOYD steamer Breslau at Baltimore comes
another story Of the wholesale destruc-
ton of the Russians by the Japanese IN
the war in the far East and the sudden
departure of the Cars young men to
other countries. The war, according to
some who arrived on the vessel, has
caused indescribable fear to spend over
the entire Russian Empire, and hundreds
are leaving their homes to save their
lives every day. There were 800 Rus
slams of in thesteerage Of the Breslau, and
those who landed at Baltimore told hor-
rible stories of the slaughter and empha,
sized the fact that the war is far from
drawing to close. One young man said
that the government had no mercy Oh
those old enough to go to the front, and
even those who show plainly that they are
physical distress are forced to join the
ranks and are hustled off to the battle
fields that are stained with the blood of
thousands who have already been slain.
1T is a hopeless case," continued the
Russian, "and My government, from the
manner in which the armies have been
conducted, might as well quit fighting
and accede to the Japs" The steamer
arrived at New York few days ago, and
the greater number of the Russians land
ed at the metropolis. They all declared
that they would never return to their
native land
