Fresh Bupolies uf ammunition havo arrived and tho army Is ready to march at a moment's notice. Tho personal treatment of foreign correspondents with tho Japancso has beon com pletely revolutionized." MUKDEN. Many skirmishes and reconnolssances are reported to head quarters hero, but except for these quiet still provails. In tho fighting that has been taking plpco the Rus sian scouts havo almost Invariably shown superiority to tho Japaneso both in riding and fighting. The Japaneso movement up the Taitso river appears to bo a comparatively small force. Raiding parties from the Russian army bring in many prisoners. Beautiful autumn weather con tinues. Rolnforcofments are rapidly arriving, over 1.000 r.nn vnlnsfrmtq having returned to duty. The army is in good working condition. O Ul cers aro distribution the reserve of stores that were brought up from Llao Yang, as adequate supplies are now coming In from the north. Details of the fighting near Inpu, between Bentsiaputzo and the rail road on September 20, shows that General Mistcbenk's scouts, accom panied by a battery of artillery, at tacked a Japancso position, where thero was a battery of artillery, two squadrons of cavalry and two com panics of infantry. The Japaneso were shelled out of their position on a hill and suffered heavy loss. As they retired the Russians occupied the bill until nightfall, when they too retired under cover of darknes-. having lost only three men The Japanese are sending out large par ties of scouts daily with the object of checking tho Russian's continuous raids. Dr. Malvieff, who was captured by the Japanese at Liao Yang, says the Japanese aro suffering severely from dysentery, and that they bogged his assistance in combatting the dls ease. Japaneso o Ulcers of the staff are excellent linguists, and many of them speak Engllsn and German, as well as some Russian. Tho Japan ese army is living almost entirely on rice and preserved foods, but is comfortaby equipped, many o Moors even having arm chairs among their baggage. The principal Japaneso fear is for forage for their horses, for during the winter the country is swept clean for many miles on each side of tho railroad and tho inhabi tants are reluctant to sell nnythlng. Meanwhile both belligerents are strongly endeavoring to gain an ad vantage between tho Tumen river and Gensan. Wants a Slice of Kansas. PUEBLO, Col. -An effort at a solution of the Kansas-Colorado water suit is in progress, and if the efforts of those most interested in the caso are success!) a strip of tho western portion or Kansas about 100 miles wide will bo annexed to the state of Colorado, and the litigation now before tho supreme court at Washington will be thrown out. Agitation along this line has already started and prominent politicians in both Kansas and Colorado are exert lug every effort to get tho passage of a bill through which the lcgls latures of both states, whereby the western portion of Kansas can be taken into Colorado. This, it is thought by thoso who havo given the question much study, will solve the difficulty and both states will be bonlfittod to a great extent. Tries to End Life. CHICAGO, 111. A special from St Louis says: Joseph E. Edward's former mana ger of a plow company's branch a New Orleans, who was brrught here from Denver, enrouto to New Or leans to face charges of embezzle mont of $150,000, attempted to com nilt suicide after leaving Denvor.

PETERSBURG. Tho latest ilfiolal advices from tho front aro lilent on tho question of tho Japan iso Hanking movements east and jvest of Mukden, from which tho ffxr ofllco concludes that Field Mar- fiial Oyama has not yet begun to press his advance from Sianchna or ip tho Liao river valloy, indicating jhat there is still further delay in ;he general advance. Tho only information received from General Kuropatkln, is to tho effect ;bat the Japaneso outposts cast of ;he railroad along tbo Shahko river, jontinue to throw out small detach- ncnts, but thsy are Invariably re pulsed by tho Russian cavalry, which naintains ciosc contact along tho thole Japanese lino. Dully skir mishes are occurring, but nono of an mportant character. A herd of lattlo and a few horses have been :aptured by Cossaoks. According to Information brought n by Russian scouts the main Jap- tnes forces are still concentrated ilong tho Yental branch railroad, ind reinforcements are still crossing jhe Taitse river using two pontoons t Renshu, five miles due east of Yental station. From tho latter lact it would appear that tho propa gations for the Japaneso advance aro noro backward than heretofore sup posed. Information received hero tends ;o confirm the recent Peking report .hat Wu Ting Fang, former Chinese ninister to the United States, will )0 sent on a special mission to Europo and America. Tho state iient that it is China's, purposo to pave him consult Japan and Russia egarding Manchuria is incorrect. His mission will be to sound tne Dourest neutral powers on tho sub ect of the protection of China's In terests in the peace negotiations at jhe clotfe of tbo war. The Russian press has heretofore Uudiously avoided editorial refer ence to President Roosevelt's state ment to tho delegates of the inter parliamentary union ou Septembei 24 on the subject of calling a con ference of nations of the world at the Hayue, to continue tho work of the conference called by Emperoi Nlciiulas in 1899. The only approach thereto is a quotation in the Russ from the Berlin press opinion, say ing that it was evident that th Americans intended to disregard tho question whether or not intervention in the far eastern question at thli time would be agreeable to either of the combatants. Tho Information received at the war office concerning tho situatloc at Port Arthur is not reassuring. The blockade at last seems to be efloctive. Admiral Togo's ships an arresting all the junks which try tc enter the harbor and are sending them to Fort Dalny. It Is feared hat this complete isolation may react on tho spirits of tho garrison. The report from Tien Tsln that a largo force of Chinosu bandlls north west of Mukden Is preparing, to cut the railroad Is not taken seriously by the authorities here. NoL i he slightest doubt is entertained at the war oilico that tho railroad guards will be quite able to protect the line. Undisciplined Chlueso hordes however, are numerous. Negroes Forced to Leave.

Governor Cunningham has received the report of the military court of Inquiry to Investigate the conduct cf Company F, Alabama national guard, that was overpoworod by tho in 3b at Huntsvllle, Ala., which lyncbsd Hcrace Maples, a negro.

ITiigh Gur ney, third secretary of the British embassy, was fined In tho pnlloo court at Lee on two charges. For contempt of oourt ho was fined $25. A similar fine was Imposed In tho case charging him with speeding bis automobile in Stockbridgc. Special Justice Phelps said he did not recognize international law in 'a Is court, and informed tho dofend int that ho must enter a plea. Mr. 3urney persisted in his refufsal. Then a fine was Imposed for con tempt of court. Threatened With Atttark. MUKDEN. Tho Russian cavalry vest of tho railroad reports an Im portant Japaneso movement and a threatned attack.

PETERSBURG.-Tho dlvl slon and reorganization of tho Man churlan army, regarding which then have boon rumors ever slnco tin battle of Liao Yang, was officially announced todav in an imperial re script appointing Gonoral Grlpcn berg, now commander of tho Thlrc army corps in tho provlnco of Vilna as commander of tho second army now being mobilized for imrnedate dispatch to tho far oast, leaving General Kuropatkln In command ol tho first array. Tho emperor ii personally convinced that tho poli tical, as well as the military, prcst- Igo of tho empire is at stake, and that very other consideration tnusl give way for the exigencies of war. Tho resources of tho omplro in men and money must be dralnod if neccs sary in order to turn the scalo and vinaicato tho power cf Russia. , The reorganization amounts to for mal notice to the world, as tho em peror frankly explains in his rescript, that no Intends to vastly increase the number of troops at tho theatei of war in ordor to forco tho struggle to a successful issuo In the shortest posslblo time. It is intended to sll onco definitely all talk of foreign intervention by tho announcement that Russia means to fight out thli Issue with Japan on the field ol battlo. Probably 300,000 men will bo placoc) in tho field. Five corps, the third, fourth, fifth, eight and sixteenth, aro already destinod for tho front and it Is expected that fivo more corps will be sent forward. Eventually tho creation of tbit second army involves the selection ol a commander-in-oblef. Not only 1 thcro no intimation in tho rescript that General Kuropatkln will com mand both armies, but he is placed on the same footing as General Grip, penberg. In tho best Informed cir cles tbero is little idea that Viceroy AlcxiefT, tho present nominal com mander-in-chief, will oxorclso the actual functions of commander ol the 000,000 or 700,000 men. that Rus sla nas resolved to put in tho field. It is the best opinion that Grand Duke Nicholas Micbaolovitch, in spootor genoral of cavalry', will at tain tho high command, occupying in the war with Japan the position held byhls fathor in the war with Turkey. Thero aro various roports regard ing Viceroy Aloxieff's, destiny. 11 is claimed in somo quarters that he will bo recalled and Grand Duke Nicholas become vlcoroy, as well at commander-in-chief. It is also said on apparently equal authority thai Alexleff will return as chancellor of the empire, succeeding Count Lams doff. None of theso reports aro de finitely confirmed. Giand Duko Nicholas is still f young man, not yet forty-five, wit! much of his father's rash energy and resolution. There is roason t bellevn that even with tho memories of the horrors of tho Shlpka cam palgn agalns'c tho Turks of whloh he was the witness as a young captain of cavalry, ho would favor a wintci campaign against the Japanese. Tho dispatch of the grand duke ai commander of both armies would accord with tho traditions of tin Romanoff dynasty a member o which Imperial family has alway. been in command in all of Russla'i great wars.
