Nov. ll.-The dispatch of the Associated Frees from Washington con firming the statement made li these dis patches that the Japanese had Indicated their willingness to entertain peace sugges tions from President Roosevelt or King Edward created much Interest here. Baron.

The Associated Press learns that Queen Alexandra has been in constant communi cation with the dowager empress of Rus sia and Emperor Nicholas himself during the last few days. This Is imerp.eted here as a hopeful sign, and as possibly l.kely to lead, though not In the immediate fu ture, to the establishment ot some modus vlvendt whereby steps looking to arbitra tion might be Initiated without offense to Russia. , The reiteration of the American Stat department's determination not to Inter vene except on request from both of the belligerents tallies with the official atti tude of the British government, but it U thought betoru long some means may be devliel whereby tbls diplomatic barrier to action j will be overcome. Baron Hayashl thU morning had no news from Port Arthur and oLscreulted the ru mors ot.lts capitulation. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 11. It Is con sidered significant that the Russian news papers Ignore Lord Lansdowng s sugges tion regat d ug Russo-Japanese arbitration. They appear to be mare concerned with his utterances on the subject of the pun ishment of the Russian naval officers con cerned' In the North sea incident, which they regard as prematura, declaring It will be time enough to talk of punishment wheu ths commission establishes' their . culpa bility. Referring to Lord Lansdowne'a arbitra tion suggestion, a prominent official of the Foreign office expressed the opinion to the Associated Press that sunn an offer, even coming from Japan, could not posBibly be accepted. . ' "Such a controversy," he said, "cannot be arbitrated. The idea Is not -worth con sidering. , We believe the war has reached the turn of the 'tide and it must go on. The only possibility of peace now, In my opinion, would be on the basis of a proposi tion submitted to Russia by Japan, offering . i .M.nl In., than 1, AmtnanAaA a f r r n Vin tllltles opened. As It is Inconceivable that Japan at this juncture is prepared to offer such terms, I see no chance of ending the war." . Paris dispatches published here say that the French government expressly excluded the Intention of Intervening when It pro posed Its good offices for the settlement of the North sea dispute. French Profess Ignorance. PARIS, Nov. 11. The officials hero pro fess to be unaware of the reported Joint mediation movement in Great Britain, France and the United Stutes. It Is pointed out that the main features of the situation nre these: Japan Is evidently weary of the war and desirous of re-establishing peace. Japan naturally looks to Great Britain and the United States to assist toward a cessation of hostilities. France, as the ally of Rus sia, has no influence with Japan, but has influence at St. Petersburg, whereas Great Britain and the United States do not exert strong Influence at St. Petersburg. Thjre fore France's only activity m such a Joint effort would be at St. Petersburg. But this Involves Important considerations relating to Russia with European powers. France does not desire to exert Influence on Russia which would be distasteful to it or tend to weaken the alliance. In fact, some of the reports of France's Intention to Influence Russia are attributed to certain European political quarters, which are seeking to break the Franco-Russian alliance in order to profit by Frances detriment. There- ore Franc will use the utmost 'clrcuai- spertion concerning any Joint movement. wnerem its roie will De soieiv tn influence itussiu in a manner wntch Russia does not regard as contrary to Its Interests. 8everal newspapers print categorical de nials of the statement of Sir Thomas Bar clay (who has been prominently Identified with the movement which led to the Anglo French arbitration treaty) that M. Cambon, the French ambassador in London, after conferring with Lord Lansdowne, came to Pahs to discuss Anglo-French mediation. The officials also say that Sir Thomas' statement Is purely speculative. One who talked lengthily with M. Cambon while he was at the Foreign office says he discussed a number of current questions, but did not nientlon mediation. The American proposition for another meeting for Tito Hague peace convention is attracting marked attention, the news papers declaring that the election of Presi dent Roosevelt gives It additional signifi cance, France's response has not been made, but the officials say' that the general principle, of the meeting is acceptable, al though It will take some time to consider wbut questions shall be brought up. For eign Minister Pelcaaae's conference stith Ambassador Porter showed that the min ister was most sympathetic upon the prop osition, which he considered to be In the line of France's policy of establishing un derstandings and making arbitration treat lea Independent Company Leases Mill.

HEAVY EXCHANGE OF FIRE Indications Payor an Early Beinraption of Activity in Manchuria. JAPANESE INFANTRY IS DISLODGED Idea Prevails that General Oyama Does Not Intend to Attempt .'' Capture Mukden at Present. .o KriF.w. Nov 11 There was a heavy Exchange of fire yesterday at the Russian right center. The Russian batteries began shelling the Japanese trenches and the Japanese batteiles responded. During last night Russian volunteers dislodged a de tachment of Japanese Infantry from trenches In front of Lone Tree hill. The Japanese continue to show activity on the left flank without, howevtr. engag ing In any serious movement. Comfortable dugouts are being built along the Russian lines and the soldDrs eem t think that they will winter where they are. The Idea that Field Marshal Oyama con templates an attempt to take Mukden is not generally entertained. Both sidc seem content for the present with a eustien.-lon of hostilities. Warm c'othing is being dis tributed among the troops. As a result of the heavy bombardment by the Russians the Japanese have with drawn' some of their batteries from the advanced positions. It Is believed that, not being ready to attack, they are falling back to the hills. The' Russians gained a great advantage when toward the end of the battle on Shakhe river they recaptured Lone Tree hill, which has since been renamed Pouti loff hill. In honor of the colonel who led the last successful attack. This hill com mands a large part of the plain over which the Japanese must advance. The operations are about the same each day. 1 Thero is artillery firing most of the time snd frequent clashes of Infantry at night. As has been the case In most wars, but entirely unexpected In this one. the sol diers of the. opposing outposts In close proximity engage In the exchange of cigar ettes and other luxuries. During the bombardment last night the Russians threw sixty large melinite shells Into the Japanese camp opposite Manalon hill. The Japanese, who during the previous cannonading seemed to have successfully used a searchllgh. directed against the Russian positions for the purpose of cover ing their operations at night In the exten sion of their field works In the region of the railway, did not reply last night when the Russians attacked them further to the east. Japs Savins; Ammunition. The Japanese are notably economical in the use of ammunition, as though anticipat ing an early battle, when great quantities will become necessary. It is known that the Japanese have placed guns of large calibre In the vicinity of the Shakhe railway station, bringing Schlatim, the next station to the north, within the range of their fire. The great precautions taken by the Rus sians, their continued vigilance und the disposition of their forces would seem to guarantee their array against any repetition of disasters of enormous magnitude. The Russian army Is celebrating the dis tribution of presents of food, clothing and confectionery sent by the empress to the officers and men. Regimental bands are playing from camp to camp along the line and the army, which Is now in better spirits, appears to be much more formidable and homogeneous. The soldiers are active In collecting and storing all the crops left, by the Chinese In the fields, which they are conserving for use both as food and fuel. " The demolition of the Chinese houses ap pears to continue only along the firing line, where their destruction Is rendered neces sary for strategical purposes. Owing to the mildness of the weather and the prevalence of sunshine the soldiers aro bathing In the open. The Russians are hoisting manikins for the purpose ot drawing the Japanese fire, and they also make a practice of bantering the Japanese In other ways. Expect Fall of Port Arthur. Reports of the grave condition of the be sieged at Port Arthur have reached Muk den, and as a consequence the Russians will not be surprised to learn ot the capitu lation of the fortress. j The course taken by the government of Great Britain in the North sea incident Is now generally known here and appears to be regarded as highly magnanimous. In the extreme east the Japanese appear not to have advanced north of Salmachl and to have concentrated their forces In their center, The prevailing conviction is that the rein forcements received by the Japanese have bet-a much larger than reported and conse quently tt Is said they will attack. Three imperial Red Cross trains attached to the Manchurian forces remain constantly in the rear of the army on the Fushun railway and on the main railway. Hear Grlppenbera; la Stricken. ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. H.-There It a persistent rumor here that General Grlp penberg, commander of the Russian second army, has been stricken with apoplexy at Vllna. It is said that he had a stroke two year ago, therefore his selection to command the second army created some surprise at the War office. A corrected casualty list of the ten-day battle of the Shakhe river issued by the War office places the killed or wounded I 33.250, of whom 900 were officers. The first I returns, It Is explained, contained dunll- I cations and some of the men were so 1 slightly wounded that they returned to the ranks in a few days. Quiet at tho Front. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 11. A dispatch received here today from General Sak haroff announces that last night passed quietly. He also reports that there were a couple of unimportant outpost affairs the previous day. Want France to Keep Neutral. PARIS. Nov. 11. The Japanese minister.

A relative of Jackson appeared at the hotel and attempted to reach the room of the pollcciban. He was prevented by the at taches.

Tu JOHN HAY WILL STAY Secretary of State Will Continue is Office During Roosevelt's Second Term. PRESIDENT MAKES THE ANNOUNCEMENT lie Declines to Talk About Probable Changes in the Cabinet i DINNER AT THE EXECUTIVE MANSION President Entert&int in Honor of John Morley, the British Historian. TROOPS FOR THE ST. LOUIS FAIR Elwht Companlr of the Sixteenth Infantry Will Guard Government, Philippine and Forelcu Exhibits. WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. President Roosevelt made tho announcement today that John Hay would continue as secretary of state during the four years beginning March 4, 19(16. "You may state positively," were his won.s, "that Mr. Hay will continue as sec retary of state up to the 4th of March, 1909." The president was asked regarding other possible cabinet changes, but indicated that thero was nothing to bo said at present His announcement regarding Secretary Hay was made to a number ot newspaper re porters In his office. This fixes the most important placo In the new cabinet, and In the fltst and only step so far taken In that direction. President Roosevelt entertained a number of quests at dinner at the White House tonight In honor of John Morley, British parliamentarian, who Is now visiting him. Those Invited to meet Mr. Morley were: Secretary Morton, Carroll D. Wright, James R. Garfield, F. P. Sargent. Rev. William 8. Ralnsford, Rev. A. P. 'Doyle and J. J. Hannahan, F. H. , Morrlssey, Warren S. Stone, E. E. Clark, J. B. Reynolds, IL It. Fuller and J. B. Bishop. Troop for St. Loul Fair. President Francis of the Louisiana Pur clin.ve exposition recently made application to the War department for the sending of troops to the exposition grounds for the ! protection of government property and tho i property of foreign nations contained In the j exhibits, and also of the exhibits of the Philippine government. This request was based on the ground that It had been the j experience In all great expositions, as they 1 have drawn toward a close, that the de 1 structlve tendency on the part of visitors and others has resulted in great loss to government, foreign and domestic exhibits. Accordingly the secretary of war directed thut headquarters and eight companies ol the Sixteenth Infantry be sent from Fori McPherson, near Atlanta, Ga., to St. Louis, there to remain for forty-five days to as sist In the protection of property ln the exposition. : ".,-, Change In Philippine Tariff. President Roosevelt will recomfhenl to congress that It authorise thai authority will be given to the Philippine commission to revis th tariff now. In force In those Islands. This decision was the principal and about the only accomplishment of the cabinet session today. The matter was' brought up by Secretary Taft and his recommendation In the matter was approved. The present tariff in the Philippines was the work of the Philippine commission. It was put Into effect by executive order and afterward approved by congress. Since it hits been in effect many changes have be come necessary for the development of tha Islands. The act of congress approving the schedules, however, waa so worded aa to preclude future revision by the com mission. The commission has already pre pared a scheme of revision which has been made public for the purpose of securing criticism and suggestions from the buslncsi interests of the United States. In this plan, some pf the schedules are raised and some lowered. The revision Is planned, with a view more to the development ol the business of the islands than from a revenue standpoint. Secretary Taft has decided to lay before ci Tigress . at the approaching session the project for the reduction of customs duties on goods entering the United States from the Philippines from the present rate, which Is 75 per cent of the Dlngley tariff rates, to 25 per cent of those rates, the re duction to apply to sugar and tobacco, while all other Philippine product are to be placed on our free list. This subject was discussed at length at today's cabinet meeting. The secretary's proposal last yesr was to cut the Dlngley duties on sugar and tobacco to 60 per cent of the regular rates, but he argurs now that in view of the addi tional burden placed by congress on Philip-' pine trade, through the requirement that -Philippine goods shall be carried In Amer ican bottoms only. It la only fair to reduce the American Import duties on Philippine goods to the point indicated. Requirements of Kary Yards.
