ATTACK WAS NOT? RESUMED.
Japs Making No General Assault Upon
i~'Port Arthur.
Chetoo. ."Nov. 22.A Japanese of
ficial among the latest arrivals from
Dalny states positively that the gen
eral attack upon Port Arthur has not
been resumedr Rumors to that effect
in Dalny have arisen because fresh
troops, including the Seventh divis
lob recently landed, are being sent to
the front.
It Is believed that the explosion
which took place on Nov. 16 occurred
in some counter tunnelling work.
The recent explosion, which was
beard on Nov. 19, was much heavier
and it is reported upon tbe best au
thorities was due to the' blowing tip of
a Russian magazine.
It is expected that the next attack
upon Port Arthur will be a tremen
dous affair. More reinforcements are
coming to the support of General Nogl
than those dispatched to Field Marshal
Oyama. ^T-
The Japanese are now constructing,
coast defense forts at Pigeon* bay,
which is accepted as an indication
that they expect to be defending Port
Arthur themselves some day.,.

AS MOR E POWE FO COMMISSION
WOULD HAVE INTERSTATE COM-

?Ww FREIGHT RATES
-Washington, Nov. ^22.Interstate
transportation matters with specific
reference to the fixing of railroad
freight rates, formed the subject of an
Important conference at the White
House during the day. By previous
appointment Governor Samuel R. Van
Sant of Minnesota, Governor Comtnlns
of Iowa, E P. Bacon and Frank Barry
of Milwaukee and R. A. Higbie, an of
ficial of the National Lumber Dealers'
association, called on the' president to
urge him to use his influence to secure
the enactment of a law which would
confer upon the interstate commerce
commission power to fix railway
freight rates in the commerce between
states. The conference was arranged
by Chairman Bacon and by his invi
tation Governors Van Sant and Cum
mins were present. Governor IJafol
lette of Wisconsin was to have been a
member of the delegation, but was un
able to come to Washington. 7
The subject was considered by the
president and the delegation at some
length, the members of the party pre
senting their views as individuals and
the resolutions -adopted by the inter
state commerce law convention, which
was held in St. Louis in October. The
convention included delegates from
more than 300 commercial and bus
iness bodies throughout the country.
It was pointed out to the president that
for ten years prior to 1897 the inter
state commerce commission had exer
cised the power to adjust railroad
freight rates in order to prevent dis-.
crimination, but that since that time,
by reason of a decision of the United
States supreme court, that power had
been denied the commission. It was
urged by the delegation that a law be
enacted by congress conferring upon
the commission the authority to ad
just rates when they were found to be
discriminative in their operation or
in violaton of the interstate commerce
act. *~?i|
The delegation also suggested to
the president the desirability, as the
members viewed the matter, of dis
cussing the subjectin his for^teomiti^
message to congress. The president
did not indicate, however, *&iat his
personal views were, contenting him
self with giving a careful hearing to
the statements made.
f:RACEv^WAR IN IOWA.if&%J.
White Miner Shot and Fatally Injur-
,}vV^ ed by Negro.
'Des Moines, la,, Nov. 22.Race war
is regarded as imminent at Fraser, la.,
where Thomas Albright, a white
miner, was Saturday night shot and
mortally wounded by James Price, a
negro. The white miners held a meet
ing during the afternoon and voted to
refuse to work longer with the ne
groes. They accused the negroes of
having aided Price to make his es
cape and the feeling is intense. There
are from thirty-five to fifty negroes in
the mining camp and about 1,200
whites. Both sides are heavily armed.
A negro, thought to be Price, was
seen near Ogden, seven or eight miles
from Fraser. He answers the de
scription of the man wanted and on
seeing that he was discovered con
cealed himself a corn field. A
posse from Ogden is searching for
him and another body of miners from
Ogden is working the river in that di
rection, while still another body is
making a thorough search of all the
negro huts in Fraser.
If Price is caught it is believed that
the miners, in their present fframe of
mind, will do him violence." -"v"-".
Albright is still alive, but the doc
tors say be cannot survive.

REMARKABLE CONDITION OF JFFAiRS

^GOVERNMENT.
St Petersburg, Nov. 22.The. inter
est in the meetings of the zemstvos
representatives is intense. The war
and all other questions are temporar
ily forgotten. Nothing else .is talked
of. Liberals from all parts of the em
pire, are flocking hither, including
many from Poland and Finland. Tho
hotel lobbies "are crowded, almost re
sembling convention time in American
oities. The permission granted by In
terior Minister Sviatopolk-Mirsky vas
for an assembly of 300. i.
,The participants' friends display
complete confidence in the protection
afforded" by the minister and his most
outspoken sentiments. The situation
altogether is unparalleled. Nothing
approaching such a gathering has ev
er before been permitted in Russia.
As evidence of the remarkabe state of
affairs, it is suificient to mention that
one oi the' most prominent speakers
Sunday was M. Pettrunkeivitch of
Tver, who spent twenty-four years in
exile and who had only been allowed
since Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky's ad
vent to come to the capital.
Nevertheless the most able men in
the assembly are counseling modera
tion and dping everything possible-to
prevent demonstrations which might
compel interference. One of the strong
est members of the conference said:
Will Avoid Demonstrations.
"We want to make our position plain
to the government, but we desire to
avoid every appearance of lawlessness.
I sincerely hope the meeting will be
productive of great good. We hope
and expect that all provincial and. dis
trict zemstvos will follow our lead
and demonstrate to the government
that the voice of the nation is unani
mous in asking for a direct share in
the government by the people."
At the meeting of the delegates
Monday Section nine of the memorial,
by a vote of 105 to 3, was strength
ened into a practical recommendation
for a parliament, the language being
changed to a specific declaration in
favor of an elective body, not to par
ticipate In legislation, but to make the
country's laws. S-ympatheiie demon*
strations are reported in various parts
of Russia.
