DEADLOCK IN MANCHURIA
PORT ARTHUR HOLDS OUT.
Northern Armies Exchange Shots-
Hope of Peace Seems Small.
No confirmation of thr rumors of Port
Arthur's fall was received, and the deadlock
in Northern Manchuria continues, with the
usual skirmishes and intermittent artillery
practice. The Japanr.se often fail to reply to
the Russian guns. The defensive positions
of Marshal Oyama's army are said to be ex
tremely strong.
The hopes that some means may be found
to bring to an end hostilities in the Far East
receive slight support. Advices from Paris
csv that France is extremely desirous to do
nothing which would impair her alliancg with
Russia, and dispatches from St. Petersburg
do not foster the idea that terms would be
welcomed.
OYAMA'S LINES STRONG.
Intrenchments Skilfully Constructed
— Cossacks' Successes.
Moukden. Nov. 11.— The positions of the
annlee or. both sides remain unchanged, though
there i« continual skirmishing going on. with the
object of securing minor positions tending to
strengthen the respective lines of defence. The
Russian ecouts are da-ing, secretly reoonnoi

creeping up to the Japanese trenches, lying
concealed there all day and returning at night.

MRS. CLEVELAND LAYS IF.
EX-PRESIDENT SPEAKS.
Cornerstone of Hebrew Technical
School Placed.
Additional interest was given to the laying of
the cornerstone of the new building of the He
brew Technical School for Girls, at Second-aye.
and Fifteenth-et., yesterday, by the presence of
the only living ox-President of the United
States, Grover Clrveland. Attracted by the an
nouncement in the press that Mr. Cleveland
■would not only preside, but would make an ad
dress, a large crowd gathered in Second-aye.
and gave Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland a cordial wel
come as they drove up with Mr. and Mrs. Na
thaniel Myers. Within the tent the expectation
seemed to be general that Mr. Cleveland would
"say something." but he steered clear of the re
motest reference to politics, confining himself
ptrlctly to the general significance of the occa
sion.
A large- canvas tent had been stretched over
the cite of the new building and fitted up with
a temporary wooden floor and platform. Strings
of email flags inside and out gave it something
of the festive air of a country fair, and a high
board fence which had been erected all around
as a screen from the street was profusely draped
with large American flags. A large squad of
policemen was stationed around the inclosure to
keep away the curious. Long before the exer
cises began people were blowing on their fingere
and tucking their hands inside their coats for
warmth's sake.
The opening prayer was by the Rev. Dr.
Joseph Sllverman. A chorus of about two hun
dred girls from the old school in Henry-st. sang
"America." Then Mr. Myers introduced Mr.
Cleveland as "that great statesman who, when
long and eorely tried, showed that in lofty, in
single minded and in all wise devotion to the
welfare of his country, he was as pure and clear
and direct as the sun's rays, and as immovable
as the North Star." Mr. Cleveland, after pro
longed applause, began to read his speech.
MR. CLEVELAND'S ADDRESS
In part he eaid:
It is not altogether a fanciful or pessimistic
notion that leads many of our patriotic and sin
cere citizens to lament the growth among us 0/
materialism. Our people are undoubtedly becom
ing more and more infected with the feverish de
siiti to accumulate wealth and to succeed in under
takings far removed from : alianthroplc Intentions;
but no one can yet say that in the midst of ail
this there does not remain to us charity for the
poor, pity for the eick or wound* £ and a helping
hand far those who need aid in the improvement
of their present conditions -md future prospects.
We who are here have befor-. us at this moment
convincing proof that those, ennobling traits of
our natural disposition have not been entirely
smothered in a heedless rush for rich"?. Thought
ful men muet also regretlully concede that even
in the best and highest civilization, movements
called charitable and benevolent are sometimes
used to cloak self-exploitat;on and purse proud
vanity, or are set on foot to satisfy the whims and
caprice of the restless rich.
are face to fa<*e to-day with a philanthropic
enterprise wboße intent and purpose are abso
lutely free from the slightest questionable adultera
tion which has been most intelligently conceived.
most effectively managed and most steadfastly di
rected toward "the accomplishment of its supremely
important mission.
PRESIDENT BUTLER'S REMARKS.
-President Cleveland was followed by Presi
dent Nicholas Murray Eutler of Columbia Uni
versity, who wore a skullcap and dug his
hands deep Into his overcoat pockets during his
speech in the effort to keep warm. Dr. Butler
began by saying that the rise of such Institu
tions as this marked the advent of a new idea
into education, adding, "not that we wish to
discredit the older learning, but because out of
the great material resources and development
of the country a need has arisen for a train
ing that shall bear directly on life. An 1 we
are no longer ashamed to apply the term 'edu
cation" 10 such training. '
Dr. Henry M. Leiyziger, director of public
lectures in the public schools, spoke next.
• A distinguishing mark 01 modern education,"
he said, "is its application of scientific princi
ples to lines formerly overlooked. We have to
day trade schools, business colleges, commercial
colleges. Education now fits for life, not for
examinations." (Applause.)
The presentation of a silver trowel to Mrs.
Cleveland hy Adolph Lewisohn, chairman of the
building committee, was accompanied by a
little address, in which Mrs. Cleveland was re
ferred to as "foremost in all the charms and
virtues that make woman admired and rever
enced by man — the ideal of American woman
hood." Mrs. Cleveland smiled at this euloglsra.
She wore a tailor-made gown of dull green
cloth, cut with a three-quarter, tight-fitting
coat, a chinchilla collar and muff and a black
toque with a white feather and green cockade
on the side, and white glover. ,
A TROWEL FOP. MRS. CLEVELAND.
The trowel was inscribed as follows;" "This
trowel was used on November 11, 1904, for lay-
Ing the cornerEtona of the Hebrew Technical
School foi Girlr. New-York, and is presented to
Mrs. Grover Cleveland by the trustees of the
school <i& a souvenir of the occasion."
Accompanies by Mrs. Minnie D Louis, who.
with her husband, established the s ho ; . twenty
years ago; Nathaniel Myers, Maurice Htrsch,
Adolph Lewisohn and Maurice Brill, the au
dience rising to their feet, Mrs. Cleveland mount
ed to a Utths nag draped platform bull: around
the cornerstone, which was swinging from a der
2-ick. She watched with Interest the manoeuvres
of the workmen by which, after the copper box
01 records had been placed, the htig-e block was
slowl) warped Into position o.i its neci of cement.
Then, lightly tapping the top of the huge stono
three times for luck with the handle of her
trowel, and laughing, she gave the wet cement
a little pat, saying, "i declare this stone well
and truly la'.J."
While two hundred girls from the old school
were singing a Jubilee song, especially compose 1
for the occasion by Kmily M. Upper, everybody
crowded around ex-President and Mrs. Cleve
land, so that it was with some difficulty that
Frances Speir, a young girl from the school,
pushed her way up to Mrs. Cleveland and pre
sented a copy Of the song, engrossed on white
satin, by some of the pupils of the school. Th<»
ltev. Dr. Maurice H. Harris closed the exer
cises with the benediction.
Mr. and Mrs. Myers later entertained Mr. and
Mrs. Cleveland at luncheon at their home, in
the Osborne. The Clevelands went afterward
to attend the Yale-Princeton game. **
Among the prominent persons in the tent
were Richa: v Watson Gilder, Dr. Joseph D.
Bryant and St. ("lair McKelway, who came ex
pressly to meet the Clevelands; [eidor Straus,
lfnac Stern, Mrs. Louis Erich, Jacob H. SchlfiC
and Professor Beligman.
The new school will occupy a plot 125 by 07
feet, and will be five stories and a basement in
height. When it is fully equipped the cost will
he nearly $400,000. It will have an auditorium
seating 500, a model kitchen, roof garden, swim

employment bureau, with large, light class
rooms. Adolph Lewisohn. first vice-president,

U. S. Refrigerator Ship Sinks
Schooner Off Barnegat.
On Wednesday night, ten miles off Barnegat
Light, the United States refrigerator ship
Culgoa rammed the schooner Wilson and Hunt
ing, from Norfolk to New- York, and sunk her.
Captain Robert I. Walton. Jr., of the schooner,
hia wife and two seamen went down with the
ship. The eurvivors. consisting- of the mate,
steward and two seamen, arrived here on Thurs
day night on the Culgoa, and were sent ashore
yesterday at Tonapklnsville. The mon were
taken to the offices of the lav.- firm of Alexander
& Ash, at No. 9'_" Willlam-st., where they told
the story of the accident. The steward said:
I was In the galley when the schooner v.-as
struck. We were holding '»'.ir course or. a port
tack off shore. Shortly before i went below I
saw the lamp on top <>f the cabin burning
brightly. Thr- steamer came on us appar"iitly
at full "speed, and struck us to starboard, af: of
the forward rigging When I reached the deck
I climbed up the rigging and got aboard the
Culgoa, the bow of which was wedged well into
the schooner.
Soon after I got aboard the mate followed my
plan of escape, but when he reached the rig
ging the steamer reversed her engines and the
boats swayed apart. The mate plunged into
the sea and the Culgoa lowered a boat to get
him. They threw him a line, which he fastened
around his v.-aist. and dragged him Into the
small boat. The schooner was laden with pil
ing, stored on the deck Hghi fei-t high. Th^
captain and his wife were on deck, and cou!c r
hnve been rescued had not the Culgou backed
away.
The instant the boats separated the schooner
filled, her deck load shifted and she listed to
starboard and sank, taking the captain and his
wife with her.
I paw our mate trying; to get a line to the
captain as the steamer backed away. Several
of the crew of the Culgoa told me that thej sav
our lights. I understand that whe-r the Culgoa
rammed us one of the men in the engine room
was knocked down and seriously hurt.
Captain Walton came from a seafaring family.
He was Lorn thirty-five years ago at Tuckerton,
N. J. His wife, Etta Walton, was the- daughter
of a New-Jersey farmer, and for six years had
sailed with her husband.
On September 15, 1003, while Captain Walton
was in command of the throe masted sch
De Mory Gray, ho encountered a hurricane ten
miles northeast of Winter Quarter Shoals. Us
wife was with him at th* time and fearing for
her safety Captain Walton lashed her to th< miz
zen eross treea She remained there for one hour
through a terrific storm that almost wrecked
the vessel. Captain Robert i Walton, jr., gav-j
up command nf the schooner on her return to
port, and his brother Clarence was made rap

There will be arraigned to-day a man who,
having failed to commit suicide in Germany and
having heard that Hbboken was a good place in
which to end one's life, travelled .Irs! class on a
steamer and then made a failure. •
He is Adam Kncke, m. ■ seven years old, of
Frankfort-on-Maln. Germany. He is not at all
pleased that his life was Raved, and says that
it the first opportunity he will kill himself.

Frau Nuncben, of Frankfort, but for some rea
son he cannot wed. As a result Eccke auya he
does not care to live.
His first attempt at suicide was in Bremen.
He took phenacetine, enough, he says, to kill,
but he swallowed a bottle of champagne as .1
(baser, and the two did not agree. He wa« very
ill for a day or so, but that was all.
He arrived at Hoboken on the Kaiser Wllhelm

CONSUMPTIVES' ANNEX.
>
Anonymous Gift to the New-York
Post-Graduate Hospital.
Through the generosity of a friend of the in
stitution, the New -York Post-Graduate Medical
School and Hospital. It was learned yesterday,
has been able to open an annex to its dispen
sary for the treatment cf pulmonary tubercu
losis. The annex has accommodation for
twelve beds, and for the first tim-j In the his
tory of the hospital and medical schco!, poor
patients in the advanced stages of pulmonary
tuberculosis will be able to receive constant in
dividual treatment and attention until the crisis
of their cases shall be past.
Gratified at the way h«s friend had been
cured of incipient tuberculosis at the dispen
sary th» anonymous giver haa leased a board
ing house at No. H22 East Nineteenth-st.. an<i
at a co?: o( several thousand dollars overhauled,
refitted ami completely converted it. ;>nd has
also promised $6,000 yearly for its maintenance
for a ceitain term of years. To-day, instead of
a common boarding house, the premises at this
number form an up to date modern hospital for
the treatment of this dreaded diFea?.-\ The an
nex will be of especial benefit to poor patients
who are unable to afford the coat of leaving the
city to take sp?ei::l treatment elsewhere.
The spec**] facilities of the new annex, which
is in charge of highly competent physicians
and nurses, include a constant circulation of
fresh air. which is filtered through absorbent
cotton, and a simple ' hyper-nutrition" regimen
of emulsion, egge, rni'k, ci.,., that has long
pass°i? the experimental stage. There are al
ready throe patients in the annex, and three
more will be taker, in to-day.
The annex makes possible constant intelligent

children were rescued from the burning house.
An examination <>f the bodies showed that
Mrs. Weber and the children had been murdered
before the fire had b?en started. Mrs. Weber
and her daughter had been killed by pistol
wounds. On tht* boy's head were several deep
CUta. He had al?o been shot.
All efforts to reach Julius Weber, the father.

18. HAY WILL REMAIN
IN NEXT ADMINISTR. I TION
The President's Announcement Re
garding the Secretary of State.
fFROM THE TSIB'NS BUREAU. 1
Washington, Nov. 11 —John Hay will be Sec
retary of State throughout the term for which
President Roosevelt has just been elected. This
announcement was made to-day by the Presi
dent, who regards the intention of Mr. Hay to
retain the portfolio of State as promising much
for the success of his next term.
"You may state positively," ■w»re the Presi
dent's words, "that Mr. Hay will continue as
Secretary of State up to March 4, 190&.
The President feels that Mr. Hay's decision is
of the utmost importance, not alone to Ameri
cans, but to the nations of the world. For some
years Mr. Hay has been one of the most prom
inent figures. if not the most prominent, in the
diplomatic world, and his efforts have always
been directed toward universal peace, in which
cause he has already accomplished much.
To the United States, and in a measure to
other nations, the advantages which must ac
crue from the continuous maintenance by the
United States of the same wise foreign policy
which has proved so successful In the pant for so
long a period are of the utmost importance
While Mr. Hay has communicated his inten
tion and the reasons therefor only to the Presi
dent, it is easy to surmise that, aside from a
patriotic desire to serve his country, and an even
broader desire to promote the cause of Interna
tional peace and harmony, the Secretary's deep
affection for the President has proved an Im
portant factor in determining him to retain the
heavy responsibilities of his presi nt high office.
There has been some apprehension that Mr.
Hay might relinquish the portfolio of State at
any time to enjoy the easo his borne and family
afford to one of h'.s tastes and temperament.
When Mr. Roosevelt succeeded President Mc-
Klnley it w:<s known that Mr. Hay 'red to
be relieved •■! the onerous unties; o? his oftloa,
and. that he continued to serve only on earnest
solicitation. Of the three Presidents with whom
Mr. Hay has been cflosely associated. Mr. Rcose
vel: is the >•.... one '.:: called by bis Christian
name. It !s also true that the work on which
Secretary Bay has recently been engaged has so
stimulated his energies that he looks forward to
a continuance of his labors in the Slate Depart
ment with enthusiastic Interest.

In fact, the extent to which certain other-oriso
sensible editors are begullsd into attributing
rash and ill considered intentions to him i* a
source of arrus»*'m'*nt to the President, who?*
confidence in the good judgment of the Ameri
can people is so comprehensive that he does not
believe many of the readers of these reports re
gard them as anything but absurd vagaries de
slgr.'.i to nil spac* and afford entertainment.
It Is fully expected by the administration that
from now until the next message to Congress
is made public th-» newspapers will be ftTie<i
with more or less sensational reports regarding
the President'!" intentions, and it is Just a3 fully
expected that the Intelligent public will rec«»lv»
them with ffcs same incredulity a3 It receive^
the reports circulated for partisan purr be
for* the election.
WORK ON THE MESSAGE
Just what the message to Congress will cos
tain is not known even to the President himself!.
Some points have been decided, of course, and It
has been determined that It will not contain
certain others, but so far as the great body of
th«- Executive communication Is concern^ it re
mains to be decided, and will so remain until
the President, has had an opportunity to consult
leading members of the House and Senate*
This has been Mr. Roosevelt's policy since he be
came President, and if has proved so successful
that there will be no deviation from It hereafter.
From row on the President will avail himself
of every opportunity to confer with members of
Congress. He will discuss tariff revision witli
all Its pros and cons, and will discuss every sub
ject of sufficient importance to be worthy of
consideration in his message. Whether or net
these subjects will be Incorporated in this year's
message or any future . message will depend
largely on the temper and judgment of Congress
as they can be ascertained in the prospective
conferences. There is, therefore, no occasion for
"Intelligent anticipation" of radical policies a?
startling deviations from the platform on which
the President and the Republican party have re-»
.celved such an overwhelming indorsement.
DIPLOMATIC APPOINTMENTS.
It is. of course, true that there will be a num
ber of changes among the diplomatic representa
tives of the United States, but that does not
mean that there will be sweeping chang**."*
Neither is there the slightest reason to look for
bizarre appointments. Men will be chosen pie)
the more important missions because of their
previous and prf-"minent fitness to r^preacat
this country abron-7. Minor plan* wsjea va
cated, will be filled by the proraotlon, M far aJ
practicable, of tho«K» who ha\- sh<^!i «»ualltt»s
entitling them to all inn swanf

llkely thai there will be any Innovations i.x
ih it direction at this time. r.ega.-'img the ru
mors of .-I renewal of the investigation of tha
railway ..,' service, they are without foun ia
tion. As outlined ■- theat dispatches of May
I!?. Assistant Attomoy General Robh took withi
him t<> the Department of Justice for revision
certain evident o sntliered in the formal investi
gation of the Postotf.ce Department, and in
croded in this was the testimony given in th»
Investigation of the office of th»: Second Assist
ant Postmaster Qeneral, under whose jurisdic
tion the railway nail service is conducted. That
there v. as no evldenc* showing wrongdoing Is
made clear hy the fact that no recommenda
tkmfl Tor il:srr!iss.:l have been made, nor has any
radical reorganization of the bureau been con
sidered necessary. 1 o;igh it is likely that som->
changes in the methods of this branch of tha
ijoatal service wfQ b^ undertaken at th» r.ext
session of congress.
POSSIBLE 'ABINET CHANGES.
Even the consideration ct Cabinet material
will giv? place, fur tne present, to prenaratlesa
!of the annual message. That many changes la
t^v <'ci;'!:.9t will oi:.'ci- is not unlikely, As told
