sailant of Mrs. BoKatan of
Ebsntbnrg, Pa.
JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Sept. 22. Crowds at
Tatton and Ebensburg, excltei with the
mob spirit, are hourly expecting the ap

ties, having In custody the negro who yes

RUSSIA MAY NOT PROTEST
Russia's Interests la Thibet Are
Sot Sufficient to Caase
Trouble.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 22.-The Asso
ciated Press learns that Russia's repre
sentation to Great Britain In respect to
Thibet Is based on the apparent difference
in the assurances given Count Bencken
dorff, the Russian ambassador to Great
Britain, June 2. and the published terms
of the Anglo-Thibetan treaty.
It is not expected In diplomatic quarters
tliut the Incident will precipitate "grave
complications, as Russia's Interest In
Thibet is to a largo extent academic. But
It Is Important, from Its point of view,
that Great Britain shall not have such
control over Chinese territory as to prac
tically enabl It to dictate what It shall
and shall not do In respct to dealings
with foreign notions or their citizens.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 22. The Rus
sian protest against the Anglo-Thibetan
treaty, as forecasted in these dispatches
Tuesday, has been presented at Peking.
M. LesHar, the Russian minister. Is under
stood to have called the attention of the
Chinese foreign board to the fact that
China would abandon lis tureralnty over
Thibet if It ratified the treaty, thus creat
ing a British protectorate. The Foreign
office here has not yet received M. Lessar's
report, but the dispatch from Peking to the
Morning Post of London, announcing that
China is not willing to ratify the treaty. Is
believed to be the direct outcome of Rus
sia's protest.

Soldiers Who Assaulted a French
Officer Severely Punished.
PARIS, Sept. 22. The Foreign office has
received a report from the French minister
at Peking saying that China has given the
most complete apology and reparation for
the attack of Chinese soldiers at Peking

nese captain, commanding the assaulting
soldiers made a personal apology to Cap
tain Laribee. The Chinese general con
demned the five ringleaders to punish
ments only one degree short of death.
Owing to the action of the general the

cident and the assault upon the Italian
soldiers September 15 Indicate another gen
eral anti-foreign movement. Therefore the
reparations have been accepted and the In
cident Is considered closed.

sided In Utah.

given me employment.
Some of those who have been attacked

Investors as a result.
The eMltor further declared the firms he

I QUESTIONS DARWIN'S THEORY
Holland Scientist Awakens Interest in
Question of Derivation of Species.
NEW SPECIES MAY BE RAPIDLY CREATED
Revolutionary Proposltloa Awakens
General Dlaenssloa aad Defenders
of Darwinism Take Issue
with the Dutch Professor.
ST. LOUIS. Sept. 22. -Great Interest has
been aroused In the International Congress
of Arts and Science by the theory ad
vanced by Prof. Hugo de Vries, professor
of botany In the University of Amster
dam, Holland, who, combatting In the open
Darwin's theory of the origin of species,
advanced a theory of his own In dlsmet
rlcal opposition to all Ideas of former and
present biologists and phylogenlsts. Prof,
de Vrles asserts that no two of the same
species of animal, from the lowest stages
to man, are alike In any Important par
ticular. Through heredity he claims that
the distinguishing feature or element of
an Individual Is not transmitted to ,the
offspring of that Individual, which In the
theory of Darwin represents the main
principle, and who claims that by heredity,
passing from generation to generation,
the peculiarities of the primogenitor finally
result In a new species.
Prof, de Vrles denies this and offered
proof before the scelentlsts that nn entire
new species may be developed within -one
or two generations. The deeply scientific
points advanced by Prof, de Vrles has
aroused the defenders of Darwinism by
biologists to Immediate Interest and pre
cipitated general discussion among the
scientists In attendance upon the congress.
Skyscrapers Are Doomed.
Skyscraplng buildings are doomed, accord
ing to the prophecy of Prof. Louis Wuarin
of the University of Geneva, who delivered
an address on "The Future City" In the
urban community sectional meeting at to
day's session of the International Congress
of Arts and Science. Prof. Wuarin main
tained that the individual should be sub
servient to the community and declared
that from a sanitary consideration high
buildings were dertlmental to public health
and would, therefore, ultimately disappear
from the topography of the future city. He
asrerted that although property value
would be curtailed the Increase In the value
of property on the outskirts of cities would
compensate for other restrictions.
Prof. T. Jastrow of the University of
Berlin spoke on "The Relation of th Urban
Community to Social Science."
Dr. A. L. Reich of the Blue Hill obser
vatory. In the section of cosmlcal physics,
read a paper setting forth that before the
weather could be predicted with absolute
accuracy the conditions of the upper atmos

SUMMARY OF WAR SITUATION
Japanese Reported to Re Slowly Ad
vancing I'pon Mukden tiulet
' at Port Arthur,
While the Japanese are reported to be
slowly advancing upon Mukden, there has
been no fighting worthy of note between
the opposing armies under General Kouro
patkln and Marquis Oyama. The latter,
according to the military critics at Rt.
Petersburg, Is likely to pursue tactics quite
different from those essayed by the Japa
nese at Llao Yang and It Is expected that
the attack will come on the Russian front
and flanks rather than In the form of
an enveloping movement.
Definite Information from Port Arthur
is Very Inconclusive. Russian spies allege
that a considerable force has been de
tached from the Japanese army which
captured Llao Yang and sent bnck to aid
In tho operations against' Port Arthur.
The formation of seven Russian rifle
brigades for service In the far east has
been ordered.

of Dynasty Free from Conditions.
SHANGHAI, Sept. 22.-U continues to be
reported here that the Manchus at Peking
are anxious to secure the assistance of for
eign powers to compel Japan to restore
Manchuria to China without conditions and
that they are still urging that a ?peclnl
mission be sent to the European courts
with this object In view. It is, added that
if these representations are not successful
a renewal of the anti-foreign agitation Is
not Impossible, and that the mission of Tie

(Copyright, by New York Herald Co., 1904.,
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 22.-(New York
Herald Cablegram Special Telogram to
The Bee.) Knowledge that General Ku
rokl's army has been reinforced by two,
If not three, fresh divisions, outnumber
lug considerably the reinforcements Gen
eral Kouropatkln has been able to receive
since the battle of Llao Tang, causes a
belief here that General Kouropstkln will
again avoid anything approaching a de
cisive battle.
Seeing tho advantageous results of tha
recent retreat from Llao Yang, aa re
flected In the consequent disastrous fall In
the price of Japanese bonds, the policy of
retreat, which at one moment threatened
to become unpopular, Is now fully ap
proved In the highest quarters.
The fact thnt the crops have been gath
ered Is of great Importance to Russians,
giving th'-m open ground, more suited to
the tactics of a strong cavalry force.
Two-thirds of the distance to Tie Ling
is an open plain, easily defensible.
Utmost confidence prevails here that Port
Arthur can resist all present and future at
tacks, the only doubt existing Is to th
quantity of ammunition.

TERS IN THE FIELD, Sept. 17. (Via,
Fusnn, Sept. 22.) The Russians are re
colnnolterlng along the Japanese frontier

Port Arthur Short of Coal.
TSINGTAU. Sept. 22.-3 p. m. Several
colliers arrived here within the last ten
days. It Is believed the cargoes are In
tended for Port Arthur. '
S. Davidson, an Amuiican merchant who
had a Russian coal contract and was or
dered to leave Port Arthur on February
16 last, Is now at Tsingtau. He tells the
Associated Press correspondent that when
he left there was less than 200,000 tons of
coal there. Tho -Russians are offering
stupendous price Inducements for deliver
of the coal.
On aocount of the Russian warships ha
lng been compelled to keep up full steam
day and night for nearly eight months
and the enormous quantities of fuel re
quired for the water condensing plant,
there must be a coal famine there now, un
less coal has arrived. (
The Japanese have since cut oft the water
supply, when the garrison would have to
depend entirely upon the condenser. If a
coal famine prevails th town must be get
ting water from Impure water wells, which
would also have to be served to the sick
and wounded Iceless. ,

He admits the mis Ion of these vessels Is to
