The report that the Husalfwis have oecu'
pledBlnmlntln, about thirty mllea west of
Mukden la denied. A large foro of Chl
n bandits Is displaying activity in the
vicinity of Slnmlntln, but it Is supposed
that the Russians will not take action un
less compelled to do so.
It is now apparent that the heavy fight
Ing reported by numerpus Chinese refugees
as having occurred before "Port Arthur be
tween August 27 and 31 occurred chiefly
on the first (wo days mentioned, the Japa
nese thereafter directing their effort al
most entirely to holding the,-positions they
had obtained. That these positions were
of considerable Importance is evidenced by
the fact thai: 'the Humlans risked .the lives
of valuaole ifien in open fighting In, their
efforts to disledgo the Japanese from them'.
The Kovi Kra.1 of August 81 devotes oon
slderable space to an account of smalt
Russian reconnoiasancos which started
from Palungshan and reached a point near
BhuKhlyen without encountering any Japa
nese. Returning to their own lines on the
night of the 29'.h, this party came upon a
trench .la an., open 'field, -garrisoned by a
solitary Japanese soldier, 'Who abandoned
his rifle and fled upon seeing the Russians.
The Russians Wp tyred some trenching
tools, but they discovered the Japanese In
force behind, a barrier thrown across the
Mandarin road a ad returned swiftly to the
fortress..,,. . . .
Another reeonnoiterlng party found the
Japanese vangaftjrd ""trejiohes" at Shushlyen
to- be unoccupied!' The Russians remained
in the tranches a while and presently dis
covered a eompany. of Japanese troops.
There was an exchange of rifle fire, during
which a number of the Japanese, - who had
been surprisaM,' were kllledr The remainder

KOUROPATKIX OUT OP DANGER
Analysis of' Situation by a Russian
ST. PETERURa.- 'Sept' 1.002 . m.--The
generalfttaff Is not displaying great
anxiety Q.verj'tevalarmlHt report that Qen-
eral KouropailUa Is, 1 serious darigor of
being cut of, put If they had any Informa
tion from the; front Wednesday they have
not revealed tt. The members decline, to,
say, even If'they know, whether General
Kouropatkln propose ' taking his,' army
north of Mukden. ,-.,,. .' '
An officer 'xt the general staff said to
the Associated Press Wednesday night:
"I believe It. is safeto say that General
Kouropatkln's army fs now .out of danger.
Our advices since Mohday Indicate that the
fighting. is of an Insignificant character.'and
I da not believe the tired Japanese troops
are capable of. seriously, threatening the
line of retreat. ' The raatest difficulty -our
army is now; having to contend with is the
terrible roads owing Jo, the rain of Monday
and Tuesday.-.,i .
"Our information is that the bulk of the
baggage has passed through Mukden. This
la the usua)r procedure In the case of any
retreat." .
Kourcpatklc's movements after all must
, depend chleftjf pn the taciioa of the Japa
nese, with whom lies the initiative. If
the Japanese. cDntJoue ,to press north In
the hope of cutUn&ittVthaOtusslan, .then
Kouropatklp will be obliged to move north.
Both armlet are already terribly exhausted
and If the again come into grip the result
will depend largely upon which of them is
able to throw the most fresh reserves
Into the light. If there is a race north
ward N it Is apparent that the greatest
danger wlfj come at the narrow defile of

the situation and are confident of its ultl-

BAPTIST CONVENTION BUSY
State Association Transacts Some Bua
laesa and Matena to Many
Addresses.
Testerday morning at the Omaha Baptist
association, convention the exercises were
largely of a devotional character. Rev.
B. C. Batten of Lincoln preached a sermon
from the First Epistle of John, which was
followed by a report on state missions by
General Missionary C. W. Brlnstad. The
report showed the missions to be In a
growing and an encouraging condition. '
District Secretary T. U Ketman, D. D., of
the Publication society, reported favorably.
The morning services closed with prayer
service led by Rev. J. A. Bingamon of Zlon
'church. " '
The afternoon program was greeted with
an Increased attendance. Rev. S. C. Batten
continued his address. He was followed
by a paper on Christian Endeavor by Mlse
Florence Hopewell of Tekamah. A feature
of the afternoon waa the address of Mis
sionary Arthur Carson of Burmah on
"World Missions." "Home Missions" was
tha theme of an address by Rev. Chris
tian Petersen of Wahoo, which waa foU
lowed by a general discussion on "That
Boy."
One of the features at last evening's
meeting of the Omaha Baptist association
at. Grace church was the address of A. G.
Wolfenbarger of Lincoln on "The Devil
Fish of Civilisation." He likened the
liquor traffio to at devilfish and made a
strong appeal for the obliteration of the
evil, which he represented as the only real
national Issue before the people at the
coming election.
Rev. S. C. Batten of Lincoln was the
first speaker of the evening. He took for
his subject "The First Epistle of John."
He said, In part: "John laid down his life
for the cause of Christianity. .Are you
Willing to lay down one'stna-le thins: for
the ;same '.caJuseT.- 'He who - "hatei "hla
brother is a murderer. People are often
jlka , black and white cattle." It is diffi
cult always to tell whether It is a white
cow spotted with' black or a black cow
spotted wltn white. We" car.' serve two
masters, ft we are. not srrvlna) - God we
are servipg the devil. .It is foe us to
choose which master we are to serve."
Mr. Wolfenbarger was warmly applauded
when he arose to speak. He began by
drawing, descriptions of the devilfish.. - He
described it as having neither claws, nor
teeth nor venom, but it has numerous
tentacles which, he said, it uses with
frightful ce'.erity and dexterity and after
strangling the luckleea victim In these long
feelers, ..begins Its feast.
i ne aeviinsn or civilisation." he said, ;
"has thousands of such tentacles. 'It-has'
feasted in Its deadly attack upon tha Amer
ican people. Its tentacles extends to the
center of our government and it. fastens
upon our social and political system. Not
a man, drunk or sober, ia free front thla
monster. It has transformed men Into
slaves and' turned millionaires into beg
gars. Its loathsome tentacles are fastened
upon our political, social, church and com
mercial . life. 'Its tentacles are here In
Omaha. It Is the devilfish of civilisation.
The bloody footprints of this monster trail
throughout history. No man has tha In
herent right to sell liquor. It Is an acquired-
rl"ht . and for $2$ the. fc-overnment
gives any man, regardless of. what hie
reputation may be, the right to start one
pf these, drunkard factories .and murder
The speaker said- the heart of the liquor
traffic is politics and that the republican
and democratic parties are the arteries
which feed the devilfish of civilisation. . He
also blamed the railroads for hauling a
freight which it forbids Its own employes
to use. .

PARKER'S, MESSAGE A FAIvE
Governor Jennings sf Florida 80 Character
ises Famous Telegram.
AMERICANS DESPOTS IN PHILIPPINES
Cansla ( William Jennings Bryan
Gives His Vie Vis of tho Present
Political conditions la
Plain Terms.
"I believe the telegram, purporting to
come from Mr. Parker Just sfter the dem
ocratic convention had adjourned. In which
he declared himself In favor of the gold
standard, was never sent by him. I believe
It was a fake."
These are the words of W. 8." Jennings,
governor of Florida; who was at the Pax
ton hotel last night on his way to the
Yellowstone park.
"But In a letter afterwards Mr. Parker
said he sent the telegram. Do you think
that was also a fake?" was asked.
"No," replied Governor Jennings, "I be
lieve that letter was from him. But I
hold now and always did that the tele
gram was faked."
"Who do you think faked the telegram?
"Who else but the men behind Parker,"
said the governor.
"Will you give Parker your support?"
wss asked.
"I think," said the governor, "that Par
ker ought to have the support of the dem
ocratic party, now that he has been nom
inated by the convention."
"Would you have liked to have had the
silver plank adopted by the democratlo
convention?" was asked.
"Y-e-es," said the governor slowly, "I
should like to have seen It adopted. But
I think the party has- done well by elim
inating the money question."
"But don't you think the democrats of
the country would like to know how the
party stands on a question so Important
as this?"
Will Herlr Silver Later.
"Well, I don't think the question Is of
much Importance Just at present. The In
creased output of gold from Alaska has
settled the problem for the time being.
Later on I sincerely believe the question
will be revived and conditions be much
the same as they were In 1890."
When asked his opinion- in the far east,
he said that the Philippine Islands ought
to be dealt with hi the same course as
tuba.
"The American rule In the Philippine
Islands," said the governor, "Is despotic;
nothing more or less than despotic, and
not allowed by the constitution."
"Do you think that the United States
ought to stand firm for the Integrity of
China?" was asked.
"I believe we' ought to remain neutral
as long as we can," was the reply, "but
later events may force us to Interfere.
These events are so far off that I would
rather not answer the question."
"Regarding the Panama canal, governor,
do you think it will benefit the south?"
"Yes, it Will benefit the south, but I
will never for an Instant acquiesce in the
manner this country grabbed It from Co
lombia." "Then do you think that the United
States was In secret accord with the Pan
amanian rebellion and Instigated It for the
purpose of having an excuse to obtain trie
canal?"
"Unquestionably," was the reply. "Thre
Is no other way to look at the matter.
American warships . were In Colombian
waters, ready to take action. We could
have, got, lhe canal, by peaceful methods if
we wished, but the men In charge of the
project were totally Incompetent for the
work and dallied along without making
headway for months."
"Don't you think that Colombia did the
dallying?"
"No, sir, the men of this country who
had charge were Incompetent. That Is
the reason of the delay."
Not for the Toms.
"Will Watson's aspirations affect tha
democratlo vote in the south?"
"No, sir," said Governor Jennings, "there
Is not a single organisation for Watson in
either Florida or Georgia. He will not
split the democratic vote in the south."
The governor then went on to speak of
the stato of Florida and Its recent progress-,
saying that wealth and population are con
stantly ' and .rapidly ' increasing. When
questioned about the Swayne Impeachment
case, he said that the affair Is now in the
hands of a eommlttee in congress and that
the matter would bo settled some time this
month.
Governor .Jennings Is traveling with his
wife and son and expects to visit his
cousin, Mr.' Bryan, on his way back home.
TALK OF INJUNCTION SUIT
County Demotratr Threntea to Go to
Conrt to Hend pit Jack
aoniaas.
The Jacksonlans may be enjoined from
taking the course developed Toesday even
ing. Considerable talk of this nature
has been heard from the ' oppo
sition. Another course of action, which
la intimated in some places as much more
probable, will be the nominating of both
the democratlo and a republican candidate
by some non-partisan organisation. Wil
liam A. Paxton is mentioned by several
and Is understood to be suitable to various
elements. He has not been a candidate,
but the popular Idea Is that he would
accept the office If It should be offered.
' It was said an Injunction would be sworn
but today by the county democracy and It
was Intimated Lysle AbbqU, one of the
unterrlned, would aot for the dissatisfied
element. - Mr. Abbott acknowledged having
heard talk of an injunction, but said be
would take no such action unless employed
as an attorney to do so. Moreover he
thought an Injunction Improbable.
"What seems more probable to me than
an Injunction," said Mr. Abbott, "is the
nominating of other cndldates by a non
partisan body. The law says the water
commission shall be nonpartisan. It does
not say, however, the democrat must be
nominated by democrat or the republican
by "members of his own party. Nothing
prevents both candidates being ut up in
dependently by a body of men from the
ranks of both parties. If the unfair and
Illegal aotlon of Tuesday night Is per
sisted In; I think this thing will be Mono.

It seems to me the men who put up Mr.
Benson for mayor would be likely to take
the lead. If not, these, some other or
ganisation composed of men from both
parties.
"The action attempted Tuesday night was
decidedly unfair to a laraw portion of the
democratic voters. We favored putting the
question to the vote of the party In a pri
mary. a.4he republicans will do, and let
ting the best man win. Tuesday night's
work gave the settlement of the nomina
tion of the delegates who nominated How
ell, and as their existence as an official
body had ceased, the action was Illegal.
I waa told they figured by that course to
have Just enough votes to place Dr. Hip
pie. "If Independent nominations are made,
as I believe they will, be, I am sure Wil
liam A. Paxton will be the strongest man
to be found. I feel In case of such action
he would be selected as the democratic
nominee. The position calls for a man of
well-known business ability, for It calls for
the control of a great amount of property
and money. Mr. Paxton is known to all to
be such a man."
WEDDINGS SOCIETY WATCHED
Hamllton-Bnrtoa nnd Doorly-Hltch-coek
JVnptlals Celebrated
Last Evening.
Two truly charming weddings, the first
of the several In which the fashionable
contingent are especially interested this

church, at 7:30.
St. Matthias, with Its quaint architec
ture, waa never more charming and, though
It has been the scene of not a few fashion
able weddings, none have been more Im
pressive and yet more simple In detail.
The body of the church was without deco
ration, but great clusters of pink and white
asters trimmed the altar and palms and
ferns were massed about the chancel.
While tb guests, about 600, were being
seated,'' Mrs. M. A. Benjamin of Council

maids, MIbs Louise Hamilton and , Miss
Mary Wood bridge, gowned In white Paris
muBlln over pink, and each carrying a
bunch of pink asters.' Miss Jessie Barton,
sister of the bride, as , maid of honor,

lin over green and carrying white asters.
After these came, the bride with her father,
her long silk tulle veil falling almost to
the floor over the bridal . gown of white
crepe-de-chene and a shower of white
clematis that hung to the foot of the skirt.
The groom, with his brother, Mr. Allan
Hamilton, met the bridal party at the
chancel steps and Rev. Philip Davidnon,
rector of St. Matthias, read the marriage
service. Following the benediction the
chplr sang Sir. John Stalner's ""Sevenfold
Amen" and then followed the bridal party
out, singing the last half of the "Lohen

with palms and .ferns and . tall vases of
white roses and overhead In bower effect,
ropes of plumosus fern and trailing clematis
extended from the chancel arches to the
side walls. Over the chancel steps Was
suspended a wadding bell of white blossoms
and the whole was Illuminated by a diffused
electric light, concealed above.
To the bridal chorus from "Lohengrin"

white summer gown with wreath and carry
ing the feathery green and white. Last,
walking with her father,' came the bride.
The Wedding gown was a handsome Im
portation of panne chiffon with trimmings
of chiffon applique. The bouquet was a
loose cluster of bride's roses from which
a shower of swansonla and white puusles
dropped to the foot of her skirt and over
all hung a long veil of silk tulle. The
groom, with his- best man, Mr. Will Val
entine, took the bride at the chancel steps,
Father John Williams performing the cere
mony. A reception to the relatives and
nearer friends followed the wedding at the
