the Information contained in the official

the battle Of the Shakhe hiver. appears
to have answered thea Russian advance,
with . counter often iye movement, but
no great disposition was shownsto carry
the war far into the territory held by the
Russians.
The news of this defeat, coming at
this time, is especially hard for the gov.
eminent. The popular idea continues
to be that the advance was undertaken
in order to divert the attention Of the
people from the events in European Rus

London, Feb. ACCORDING to the
Daily Telegraph s Toxic correspondent,
the Russian casualties in the engage
ments from January Is to January % are
now estimated at between &c, 600 and a.
900, and those of the Japanese at 1000.
Toxic, Feb. /. - Manchurian head
quarters report that in the fighting
which has occurred since January Is, at
Likajentan. Chenheipao and Heikoutai,
the Russians left over 1900 dead on the
field.
Russian Headquarters, Huan Noun
tain, Feb. 2.-The five days. battle on
the Hun river has yielded no palpable
result. both sides practically maintain
ing their former positions, though it is
true that at heavy cost the Russians
succeeded in driving the japanese out
OF their advanced positions and repell-
ing their f1anking column. The Russian
cavalry proved extremely efficient.
There is again lull in the campaign,
and it is possible that military opera
lions will be suspended until the end of
February.

pletion Of First stages-Will Be
One Of Finest Church Edi-
aces In the World.

New York.-The gift Of $500, 900 to
the building fund Of the great cathe-
dral Of st. John the Divine. now rising
on the crest Of Morningside Heights.
overlooking the broad Hudson, brings
within sight the completion Of the
first stage Of the work on what will
be one of the most remarkable church
edifices in the history Of the world.
Former Vice President Levi P. Nor
ton, whose identity as the donor of
this splendid contribution has just
been disclosed. divided his gift into
$45O,OOO for the construction of the
choir and $4,000 for the instaila-
ton of the reredos. choir stalls and
other furnishings. which will finish
that part Of the structure. OF the
100000 required for the crossing"
the trustees already have $150, 900 out
right. while 100000 more is pledged
10 be forthcoming as soon as the re-
naming $4,000 necessary is raised.
When this is done, in place OF the ir-
regular pile which is now all that ia
visible of the beautiful cathedral. there
will be on the summit of Morningside
Heights the largest church in the city
of New York. Even this will be but q
small part of the gigantic structure
that is ultimately to stand there.
The statutes and canons of the cath
edral of ST. John the Divine were
adopted on December q. 1904, thus
creating a complete cathedral organi-
zation-an organization which in he
minds of most Americans Is associated
rather with some sleepy English pro-
vincial town than with the great bust
ness center of the new world. Just Is
years before these canons were de-
clared in force Bishop Potter formally

on st. Johns day, 1891. The visible
results of these years of building seem
remarkably small to the man who is
accustomed to watch modern sky
scraper shoot 20 stories from the
ground in the course Of a few months
A better idea of the progress that has
already been made 10 obtained when
one stops to consider how different is

of steel Office building.
The Gothic Romanesque cathedral OF
St. John the Divine. which will bear COM

the most famous edifices on the other
side of the Atlantic, has already ad-
vanced an appreciate distance toward
completion and three or four years
should see the choir and the crossing"
ready for services. This will make the
structure, in technical language. about
20 per cent. completed, but the rest of
the work. 1t is believed, can be pushed
far more rapidly. Even II It should be
40 years before the last stone is In place.
st. Johns would be among the quickest
In erection as 1t Is among the largest In
size Of the cathedrals Of the world.
Towering above the heights along the
Hudson, st. Johns will occupy in the
cosmopolis Of America much the same
position as st. Paul's does In London.
Old st. Paul's. which took matte.
of two centuries to complete. was burned
in the great fire of 1866, and eight years
were devoted to clearing away the
rubbish. OF the new building. on which
work was begun in 1875. only the walls of
the choir had been finished by 1886, and
It was IL years later before any services
were held in 1t. In ITO, IS years after
the beginning of the work. st. Paul's
was finished. With the exception Of
Salisbury, 1t is the only English cathe-
dral designed and completed in one
style of architecture. The others, grow
ing slowly from generation to genera

men who worked upon them.
The most pretentious churches Of the
world are in large measure the result
Of civic pride as we'll as religious enthu-

Moving Ice In Ohio River Crushing
Everything Before II.

Cincinnati, Feb. 14.-The sudden
drop in temperature brought the river
ice to stand, gorges forming at a
number of points. The ice moved
slowly all day Sunday, crushing every
thing before it, and the new freeze
only postpones what riyermen believe
will be the worst final breakup of the
river in many years. The damage al
ready is estimated at from 100000 to
100000, the amount depending on the
possibility OF saving some of the
barges and steamers which are now
caught in the ice or pushed upon the
shore. In addition to the more than
100000 of loss already incurred ves-
sells and property valued at more than
100000 Is in serious danger of total
destruction.

PRESIDENT WILL NOT PRESENT
AMENDED CONVENTIONS TO
FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
SENATE CHANGES VIRTUAL BEJECTI0N
SAYS ACTION OF UPPER HOUSE
is SERIOUS BLOW TO GEN.
ERAL ARBITRATION.

Washington, Feb. IA. - President
Roosevelt will not present the arbitra-
tion treaties, as amended by the SEN
ate, to the countries with which they
were negotiated. In reply to numerous
inquiries by representatives of the
press at the state department Secre-
tary Hay made in substance the fol-
lowing statement:
"The president regards the matter
of the general arbitration treaties as
concluded by the action of the senate
on Saturday. He recognizes the right
of the senate to reject treaty either
by a direct vote in that sense, or in
directly by changes which are incom-
patible with its spirit and purpose.
He considers that with the senate
amendments the treaties not only
cease to be a step forward in the cause
of general arbitration, but are step
backward, and, therefore, he is unable
to present them in this altered form
to the countries with which we have
been in negotiation"
The arbitration treaties which were
amended and ratified by the senate on
Saturday were sent to the president
during the day. Each treaty was ac-
companied by the usual resolution set
ting forth the action taken by the
senate.
Action Nearly Unanimous.
The vote of 80 to in favor of the
adoption of the amendment to the
treaties does not give the full strength
of the senate on the question of in
sisting upon its prerogatives in treaty
making. There were five pairs record
ed, but in each case it was stated by
the senator announcing his pair that
he believed that If his pair were pres
ent he would vote for the amend
ment There seemed to be lack OF
information as to whether general
pairs covered the subject of amend
ment to treaties and on that account
number of senators refrained from
voting. Senator Alice, who was record
ed as voting for the amendment, was
not present. His name was confused
with that of Senator Alger, who was
present and voted for the amendment.
The pairs recorded were Depew and
McEnery, Proctor and Mallory, Clark
of Arkansas and Millard, Pettus and
Crane and Simmons and Clapp. No
record was made, however, as to the
manner these senators would have
voted.
The treaties were received at the
White House during the day and, fol-
lowing the usual procedure, they will
be recorded and forwarded to the state
department. They will then be sent
to the library, where, in accordance
with the statement issued by Secre-
taIy Hay, they will remain.

cULLoM DISCUSSES DISPUTE.
Says President Must Take Senate Into
His Confidence.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Senator Cul-
lom, chairman of the committee on
foreign relations, after reading Secre-
tary Hays comment on the action of
the senate in amending the arbitration
treaties, said:
'The senates position is right abso-
lutely. III anything is done hereafter
the president will have to take the
senate into his confidence. 1t might
require little more time, but other
wise can see nothing in the senate's s
course inharmonious with the presi-
dents Interpretation Of his treaty max
ing power"
