from the Box.
PROVES SLIGHTLY TROUBLESOME TO HIM
All tha Accompaniments of the Real
Thine, Including- the rlrnle Lunch,
Introduced Into the Com
petition. The applause atltho Horse show Is Ilka
the firing; In a skirmish. There will be
a ripple of scattering; detonations as some
horse dashes by In the open, then three
or (our In some high tier will open up with
a little sputter' of commendatory hand-reports,
then a whole section will burst into
fierce action, firing at will and using as
it were the magazine when some particular
favorite does something particularly fetch
ing In range of that division of the linn.
Finally, when the winner Is announced, if
It be an Omaha entry, such a thunder of
small arm (and small hand also) noise
begins as would send pellmell any desper
ate charge upon an entrenched position.
But the Horse show reports warm the
ear of the target of pleasure and not of
deadly hate, and the bravest outburst
from tiered entrenchments and the boxes
spill no red blood, but only brings the
warm color to the faces of the winning
owners.
Of the sixty horses entered last night
and appearing In the various classes,
eighteen were Omaha owned. The prize
cup for Omaha entries was of course in
the program, but there were only four
horses in this class, so that the rest of
the evening saw rather more local horse
flesh in the ring than has been the case
on former nights.
The show of 1D06 will find undoubtedly a
much larger entry by local fanciers. An
maha man who has had much to do with
the promoting of the show said:
Expects Good It en ii Its.
"I believe people will be surprised at the
effect this horse show will have. Omaha
has been called the least "horsey" city in
the west, and I think not without Borne
reason. There have been 4 few men who
have gratmod their love for fine, animals,
but the greater part of those who are In
a position to own blooded horses, up to
this time, through the pressure of busi
ness, an Interest in automobiles or some
other reason,' have been content to own a
pair of hacks good enough to take them
to the theater and have not ventured intff
horse owning beyond this. But I look for
a change. The show has shown our people
the beauty of the horse. They knew thin
before, of course, but the Impression had
grown dim through lack of dally object
lessons. - Fine horses and vehicles are not
too common on our streets. I look now
to see a great revival of horse owning and
in a few years we may very probably Rave
men here who are becoming known all
over the west as breeders and exhibitors
on the horse show circuits."
The promenade was popular last night.
The railings were crowded. The Interest in
the horses was not quite so strong as on
preceding nights, for the entries by this
time are all familiar to those who have
been regular attendants, and there 14 not
the possibility of the unexpected to keep
the mind centered on the arena gates. So
the boxes came in for more attention.
By far th3 most spectacular event of the
show to date came Jn the four-in-hands,
when the crowd had the pleasure of cheer
ing five spirited horses dashing along be
fore . a ooach, on top of which was a
bouquet of horse show gowns, put together
with here and there a shiny hat. The
Coach, a brake and a drag were all loaded
with young society folk. A lunch served
from the coach was one of the accessories.
SPECIAL FEATl'KES AT IIOKSE SHOW
Blost Interesting Flvenlng 80 Far In
the Week.
Inside the arena it was a night of fea
tures, spirit and surprises generally. Many
unlooked for things happened at unex
pected times. Events not on the card oc
curred with sprlghtliness. If wolthout no
tice. The presence of what was deemed
the largest crowd of the week apparently
Inspired the horses and ' showmen. Cer
tainly the ring performance had particular
snap and seat.
A Veritable sensation was caused with
the road four-ln-hands with coaches, drags
and brakes, the equipages rumbling in
fully occupied by brilliantly gowned women
with a few men. The costumes were
among the most elaborte at the show. To
add to the style of the thing Crow &
Murry' ooach, which carried off the big
pris $300, had a cock horse on before
, the teams, and Peter Roche with the Pep
par brake tried something never before
attempted in a horse show arena in this
country; according to Dr. dray, it was
the five-hitch, or with the cock horse
, driven from the box, dispensing altogether
with the rider. It may be said in the
passing that the arrangement caused Mr.
Peter Roche a. whole lot of troub'.e and
the women on the seats behind him no few
heart flutters. Roche was weak from his
recent accident with Myopia and despite
all the skill he showed with the ribbons
he could not accomplish everything needful
to the cock horse.
But the Crow & Murry coach did the
thing brown and then some. The class
called for full appolntmenta for picnics,
outings or racea, with attires of drivers
and guards and the proper sounding of the
coSch horn, all points counting. All these
the coach, had and a few others in the way
of dr)ik and lunch neatly tucked away
under the "good cheer sign." After ths
line up order bad been given lunch was
spread, corks pulled, the women helped
down and they and the occupants of the
other turnouts given a strictly Impromptu
luncheon by VV. Q. Carllng of St. Paul. The
crowd scarcely believed' Us eyes. The gay
rigs, with the brilliant colors in the coats
of the guards and the softer hues of the
Parts toilettes, made an entrancing plcturs
In the center of the ring near the Judges
stand. The spectators fully agreed with
the Judges where the blue ribbon should
go. Oeorga Pepper's brake, with the flve-In-hand,
took second money and his drag
third.
The occupants of the coach were, with
Mr. Murry driving, and for once doffing tils
antiquated Stetson, but retaining the ter
rier with the ferocious bsrk: Mr. and Mrs.
W. O. Carllng of 8t. Paul, Mrs. MacArdlo

CHINESE' MENACE FOREIGNERS
w Society Organised Along Lines
Similar to the Boxers of
iroo.
(Copyright, by New York Herald Co., 1904.)
FEK1NQ, Sept. 29.-(New York Herald
Cablegram Special Telegram to The Bee.)
Since May there has been increasing un
rest among the natives in south Chi LI,
north Honan and west Shan Tung districts.
A new anti-foreign society, the Tsal Y'uan,
has been formed, similar to the Boxers,
with many members. The movement is
spreading rapidly, even during the present
harvesting of good crops. The situation .Is
much the same as in 19no. without the
famine Incentive. The south Chi LI mis
sion of the Canadian Presbyterlnn church
and the mission of the American board are
in the threatened region. The principal
centers of agitation are Chang To Fu, in
Honan; Shun To Fu and To Wing Fu, in
Chi LI, and Tun Oo, in Shan Tung. The
placards of the new society being circulated
are id lcal with the placards of the Box
ers, it he following addition:
"If evx" member will distribute thirty
copies we"sw ecome as numerous as the
Boxers, and ov yber 17, the Chung Yang
festival, all foreigners will be destroyed."
The membership of the Tsai Yuan In
cludes clerks, yamen officials. Buddhist
priests and rich and influential natives. The
fact of yamen subordinates being members
of the society renders adverse action of the
magistrates difficult.
The American, British and French minis
ters have notified the Wai Wu Pu of the
above facts, and the Wai Wu Pu has or
dered Viceroy Yuen to suppress the society.
This same viceroy suppressed the Boxer
movement in Shan Tung In 1900. The for
eign ministers have confidence in his
ability. '
Now the situation Is not critical at pres
ent, but Owing to continued Japanese suc
cesses, and with pro-Japanese sentiment
now preached In all China, the anti-foreign
movement may easily become uncon
trollable. Fortunately there are 8,000 foreign
troops in Chi Li.

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 29.-The funeral of
Prof. Niels Flnsen was held at the Fred
erica church today. Few scientists have
been recognized In death as was Prof. Fln
sen. Two kings, those of Denmark and
Greece, were present, and almost every
other European ruler was personally rep
resented, while princes and high ministers
of state and leading scientists came to
pay a last tribute to the dead man. Among
these famous personages, several more
humble mourners were seen patients
whom Flnsen had cured. Wreaths, carried
by special representatives, came from Em
peror William, King Edward and Emperor

Slgnor Glollttf, the Italian premier, to the
chancellor at Hamburg, is quoted as say
ing it was altogether personal and that it
was not announced in advance in order to
avoid premature speculations. As for their
having discussed mediation in the far east

consideration by the knowledge that
neither Russia nor Japan desired mediation.

LONDON, Sept. 29. Charlea Wilson
Rivers, presldlng-at the semi-annual meet
ing of the shareholders of the Grand Trunk

working expenses of the first part of the

weather and the depression which exlBted
In the United States, as well as in Canada.

and a hea.vy wheat harvest In Canada
prophesied a period of great commercial
activity in those countries.

SENATOR HOAR IS DEAD
Distinguished Massachnsetts Statesman
Passed Away Earlj This 1'o'ning.
LONG PROMINENT IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS
He Was Seventy-Eight Years Old
and Had Been a Member of the
Vnlted States Senate
Since 1877.
WORCESTER, Mass., Sept. 30. George
Frlsble Hoar, senior UnltedvStatea senator
from Massachusetts, died at his home in
this city at 1:33 this morning. The end
followed a period of unconsciousness that
had continued since early Tuesday and
came so gently that only the attending
physicians were aware of the exact mo
ment of dissolution. The attending phy
sicians despaired of the senator's life six
weeks ago, but such was the vitality ex
hibited by their distinguished patient that
even they were- surprised and the public
was at times led to cherish a faith in an
ultimate recovery. On Sunday lust, how
ever, all hope was abandoned after a last
unsuccessful attempt to administer medi
cine and nourishment. Brief lucid Inter
vals were followed by longe rdu rations of
unconsciousness until Tuesday morning,
when the venerable statesman sank into a
state of coma from which all efforts to
rouse him proved futile.
George Frlsble Hoar was born August
29, 1826, and was therefore over 78 years
of age. Upon hlB graduation from Harvard
college in K46 he began the practice of
law, gradually drifted into politics and for
over half a century has been a force In
Massachusetts statecraft, representing the
Bay State in the United States senate since
1S77. In a pen sketch of the distinguished
senator from Massachusetts, written sev
eral months ago, VSavayard," a noted
Washington correspondent, said of him:
"Senator Hoar is a man of thought, not
of action, a speculative statesman rather
than a constructive He has been a con
spicuous figure In the national councils
for a third of a century; but his name Is
associated conspicuously with none of
the great measures of that period, other
than as an accomplished debater, an
erudite scholar, a learned Jurist, a con
summate master of his mother tongue,
and a sincere lover of his country and his
fellow-man.
"The Forty-fourth congress Is famous
for Its statesmen and renowned debaters.
There were giants In those days. Who can
forget the most brilliant parliamentary en
gagement of the post-bellum period be
tween Benjamin H. Hill and L. Q. C. La
mar against James G. Blaine and James A.
Garfield, with amnesty and the 'bloody
shirt" for theme? It was the congress that
retrenched expenses, that Investigated
Blaine, that created the electoral commis
sion, that Impeached the secretary of war.
Though overwhelmingly democratic, the
houss appointed George F. Hoar one of the
managers of that Impeachment. The ac
cused had for counsel the very elite of the
American bar Black, Carpenter, and Blair
"and the trial was second to but one of
our state pageants, if we may so name It,
and it is only truth to say that the most
vivid memory of that trial, the finest thing
connected, with It. the one beautiful classic
In that abundance of eloquent speech, Is
the closing sentences of George F. Hoar's
speech summing up for the accusers. It
has survived all else of that Imposing spec
tacle. "During the life of that congress Mr.
Hoar was one of the commission that de
cided the disputed presidential election of
1876. He voted with the mnjorlty.
"One of the greatest political convoca
tions of history was the republican na
tlonnl convention at Chicago In 1880. Mr.
Hoar was a member of that body and was
chosen to preside over Its deliberations.
It was a splendid tribute to the man, a
testimony to his parliamentary skill, high
personal character, and Judicial rectitude.
The wavering balance was rightly adjusted!
His was a clear head, his a tranquil breast,
!n that arena of human ambitions and hu
man passions. Tho grandeur of Conkling's
wonderful eloquence, the splendor of Gar
field's perfect sentences, moved him not.
No doubt he hnd a choice among those
suggested for that first political station of
the world; but It was never apparent In
his speech or conduct as president of that
brilliant assembly. To have presided over
such a body Is a testimony of the most
exalted citizenship."
Senator Hoar has always been a repub
lican, though notably differing with his
party in recent years. He Is one man who
has not profited by public life, having
stated only recently that during his life
In Washington he had the whole time been
getting a little poorer, year by year. It
was only last year that he completed his
autobiography. He haa been an overseer
of Harvard university, president of the
Harvard Alumni association, a member of
numerous historical and similar societies,
a trustee of Clark university and the Pea
body museum, and a fellow of tlie Ameri
can Academy of Arts and Sciences, besides
being active In other similar Interests.

FAIRBANKS N0W IN SPOKANE
Adresses Large Crowd on Republican
Attitude Toward the Philip
pines. SPOKANE. Wash., Sept. 29.-From Hel
ena to Spokane, Wash., Senator Fairbanks
traveled today, crossing the northern point
of Idaho enroute. The day was more
marked for its devotion to the sight-seeing
than for speech-making snd the beauties
of the Bitter Root and Cabinet ranges, as
well as the swiftly-flowing Clarks Fork of
the Columbia and Pend D'Orellle lake were
fully appreciated by the vice presidential
candidate and his colleague. Senator Dol
llver. In Idaho the train was stopped at Sand
Point and Ratladrum for speeches and at
both places the talking was from the rear
platform. Sand Point being a lumber
point. Senator Fairbanks devoted himself
largely to the duty on lumber, contending
that the republican policies are necessary
to proper protection of that Industry. He
made no reference to. Senator Dubois' chal
lenge to discuss polygamy at the stopping
places In Idaho, but at Sand Point spoke in
praise of Senator Heyburn.
The Spokane committee met the Fair
banks train at Sand Point. It consisted of
a number of leading republicans of Spo
kane, Including Mayor Boyd and State
Senator Crow, the former a classmate of
Senator Fairbanks at college. In his
speech tonight Senator Fairbanks made an
exposition of the republican policy in the
Philippines, his leading topic. He also
discussed the tariff and urged a contin
uance of the republican policy as necessary
to the welfare of the people at large.
Senator Dolllver spoke on the general
issues of the campaign. Both senators
urged the election of the republican state
ticket.
The theater was crowded from start to
finish and both senators had tho most
careful attention. Their points were en
thusiastically applauded and the meeting
was considered a success from every point
of view.
MISSOULA, Mont., Sept. 29. With a stop
of an hour at this point Senator Fairbanks
concluded his four days, speaking tour of
the state of MontsnHis special train
arrived at 8:30 a. m, and was met at the
railroad station by a committee of promi
nent citizens and escorted to an immense
tent near the depot by the Young Men's
Republican club and a brass band. The
tent In which the meeting is held is used
as a theater and the orators spoke from a
platform used by the troupe. The early
hour at which the meeting was held did
not have the effect of preventing a large
attendance or of diminishing the ardor of
those who were there. The meeting was
thoroughly appreciative ana there were
cheers of greeting as Senators Fairbanks
and Dolllver were taken to the meeting
place. This being the residence of Con
gressman Dixon, he presided at the meet
ing. Senator Fairbanks made an argument for
the retention of the republican party in
power, "saying that it had shown Its capa
city by the record already made and urg
ing that Its record in the past is the best
guarantee for the future. He contended
that all Its policies had been demonstrated
to tho Interest of all classes of our people,
hence the unwisdom of n rhangs, which
could but lead to experiments along lines
that had already proved disastrous.
While he was speaking a nearby locomo
tive Insisted In blowing off steam, .where
upon Mr. Fairbanks said It was like the
democratic orators capable of making a
great deal of noise, but of doing little else.
When the party left here it was still fif
teen miles from the state line on the west,
but the schedule called for no more speak
ing until Sand Point, Idaho, should be
reached late in the afternoon.
PARKER WORKING FOR HARMONY
Leaders of All Democratic Factions
Confer with Candidate,
NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Ind!eatlve of an
effort on the part of Judge Parker to unite
both factions and bring together individ
uals whose personal differences might In
terfere with harmonious work for the na
tional ticket, his callers during the three
days of his present trip to New York have
Included representatives of every wing of
the democratlo party.
In this connection conspicuous among
those who visited the candidate today were
Dr. John H. Glrdner, who has been the
host of William Jennings Bryan whenever
he came to New York, and Alexander C.
Troop of New Haven, who served as chair
man of the Connecticut state committee
and conducted an enthusiastic campaign
for Colonel Bryan four years ago.
The Incident that has created the most
notable comment was the meeting between
Senators Gorman and Rayner of Miry
land, accompanied by an announcement
from their close personal assistants that
whatever differences heretofore existed be
tween the Maryland leaders have been dis
sipated, at least so far as the present
campaign Is concerned.
Former Representative Ben T. Cab'e of
Illinois, who called on the judge, Is an
other whoso coming Is said to mean a
unit of effort from opposing organisations
of the Illinois democracy.
Senator W. A. Clark of Montana made
an appointment to see Judge Parker to
morrow. Few callers were admitted to
Judge Parker's apartments tonight.

CANNON AT CAPITAL CITY
Climax of Speaker's Nebraska Tout Comes
with Lincoln Meeting.
DRIVES HOME SOME PROTECTION TRUTHS
Seward Also Gives the Visitors a
Great Welcome, Congressman
Watson Making; Principal
Address.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 9.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) Lincoln went wild tonight over
Joseph G. Cannon, speaker of the house.
I The oecusion was his closing speech in a
campaign tour of Nebraska in company
with Congressman James E. Watson of In
diana. The large Auditorium was too small
to hold the crowd, which after filling all
the seats and all the standing room, ex
tended clear out Into the street, all eager
to hear the distinguished visitors talk.
The two congressmen In their private car
arrived over the Burlington from Seward
at 6:50 o'clock and were met at the station
by a number of citizens. Both, however,
were tired from their extended trip and
did not leave the car until time to go to
the Auditorium.
Speaker Cannon and Congressman Wat
son began, their tour of the congressional
districts of the state at Falls City last Fri
day and In every congressional district
save the Second they have made a plea for
the retMrn to congress of Its present repre
sentatives. Everywhere they have been
royally received. and everywhere they have
been greeted by good crowds.
t'pon reaching Lincoln Mr. Cannon said:
"Nebraska Is all right. If the vote was
taken tomorrow every republican congress
man would be returned. But the repub
licans of Nebraska must see that It stays
right."
Given Grent Reception.
Members of the Veterans' Republican
club, over 100 strong, carrying clubs and
banners with the inscription, "Speak softly,
but carry a big club," acted as escort to
the hall and upon the entrance of Speaker
Cannon and Congressman Watson the largo
audience arose enmasse and gave a demon
stration that lasted several minutes. It
was a demonstration such as Nebraskans
have not seen since the days of long ago.
Congressman Burkett, who met the train
at Seward, presided at the meeting and in
a short speech complimentary to the
speaker Introduced Mr. Cannon. When the
speaker rose men and women In the au
dience Jumped to their feet, cheered and
waved flags and hats and handkerchiefs,
and It was several minutes before he could
proceed. He discussed the tariff, the trusts,
reciprocity and the Parker letter of accept
ance. At the conclusion of Mr. Cannon's speech
the audience demanded a talk from Con
gressman Watson and they got It. Mr.
Watson was at his best, and as he told of
Parker's declaration to rescind the Roose
velt pension order and accepted the Invi
tation of the democrats to fight the cam
paign on that Issue the audience cheered
him to the echo. He tried to stop several
times, but the audience refused Its permis
sion until , he had talked for almost an
hour. "
Speaker Cannon said :
Principal Issne of Campaign.
I come to take counsel with the good peo
ple of this community touching the proper
policies for tint republic for the coming
lour years. The Master sail: "By their
fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather
grapes off thorns or tigs off thistli-s?'
In this campaign, while there are many
l.Httues that our friends, the enemy, hint at,
there is but one great issue between tile
parties, and that protection, obtained by a
majority of the people under Lincoln ana
continued practically for foriy-lour yeais,
is the proper policy still and the one upon,
which our great nation has been built. Our
friends, the enemy, nay that protection is
robbery and unconstitutional.
The republican party meets questions as
they arise and tries to solve them In har
mony with the opinion of the majority and
as they ought to be solved. We present
Theodore Roosevelt upon the record of the
republican party as our candidate. Touch
ing his candidacy and his record we are
at issue with the democracy, who denounce
him, his policies and his record.
Now.1 I will go back a little-. When we
came Into power under Lincoln we needed
money. Our government was threatened.
Half our people had stepped out and taken
everything with them. Our treasury wxs
empty, and under the power of our pirty
and Its representatives we wrote upon the
statute books a taxing law culled a tariff.
Two and a half millions of men went
into the great war. But those who stayeJ
at home and provided the necessaries lor
those at the front took advantage of the
tariff law and began to diversify their In
dustries. This diversity In labor and enter
prise led to enormous results in producing
opportunities for people to labor, thus cre
ating a home market that If further fos
tered would lead to a larger production of
everything that the farmer cnulil raiao tn
i supply It.
Hetore that time our nation was fifth or
sixth among thope of the earth In manu
factures, though we were first in agricul
ture. We then manufactured eighteen hun
dred million of dollars worth of ptol icts

or I will say In the year 1900, the time of
our last census, we are what In manufac
tures In the world? First, and still first
in agriculture. In 18 and 19' the demo
cratic platforms said the same, and thN
year In their platform Just adopted they

doubtedly that question will be the only ono
really in this campaign
Growth of Manufacture.
You will rememoer that I said the mm
ufacturod product of this nation In the
year 1S60 was $1 800.000 000. In the year 1900
: it was i3,ijuu,miu,iitiu, xou can hardly com
i prehend the enormity of that sum, but It
Is more than seven times what It was In
1860, when the tariff Jaw wbs first enacted.
I Our Industries grew and grew and grew,
i until the number of mouths to be ftd were
1 engaged In and directly connected with our
great industrial progress was enormus
that Is, the great market. Our Industries
are protected; our market i created.
Now. where do we sell our great produc
tion, both of the factory and farm? Prac
tically 92 per cent of it right at homo; 8
per cent went abroad. And any revision of
the 'tariff made by our enemies l. for the
Purpose of affecting, and must affect, that
per cent that is marketed abroad, so far
as Intention for economic benefit Is con.
cerned, while In reality It would affect the
larger percentage by reducing it. And
when you reduce that you'reduee prosper
ity. Our manufactured product now is
greater than that of Great Britain, Oer
many and France combined and equals
one-third of the world's product.
Another fact. Some of you know It and
a'l of you would know It If you had time
to sit down and figure It out: but I am
going to tell those of you who do not
know It. Beginning with the adoption of
the constitution In 1789, 114 years ago, d'.wi
to the time William McKlnley took the
oath of office, and adding up all that we
sold In the world and all that the world
sold us, the balance in our favor wss about
170,000,000. Recollect that I70.fli0,000. Now,
from the time William McKlnley took thf
oath of office, March 4, U97, to June of this
year, we sold In the world llO.OOO.Oyi.iKW
worth of our products, while we only
bnuKht of the world S6.000,OlM.OuO worth. The
world therefore fell In our debt during
that period, under those two administra
tions M,Ou,000,(KiO, as against f70.oii0.0iio for
the 10 years before that time; and our
friend", the enemy, are still not happy.
In 1893 we were at the high tide of pros-
fierlty and our democratic, friends nom
nated Grover Cleveland upon a platform
that denounced protection as unconstitu
tional. Vnder Cleveland we barely kept house.
There Is such a thing as having bir'lv

clothing, barely enough fuel to 'keep from

SUMMARY OF WAR SITUATION
Russians Do Sot Expert Kouropntkln
to Make a Determined Stand
at Mukilen.
There continues a dearth of news from
the armies In the far east. Reports .from
Russian sources toll of terrible ravages by
disease In the Japanese armies.
The Liao river is said to have been
dammed abreast of Liao Yang, In order
that the Hooded country may protect the
left flank of tho Japanese army threatening
Mukden. In St. Petersburg It seems to be
the expectation that General Kouropatkln
will not make a stubborn fight for the
possession of Mukden.
Vladivostok has heard that the Port
Arthur garrison Is confident of being able
to hold out at least tliree months longer.
Another stroke of 111 fortune has befallen
the Russian navy In un accident to the
cruiser Oleg, which was ordered, to be
ready about this time for sea with other
ships of the Baltic squadron. Repairs to
the Oleg will probably detain it at Cron
stadt for six weeks.
RI SSIAN PAPER 19 S VRQASTIC
Xovosti Sees but Little Good In So
Called International Un,
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 29. The No
vostl. In a bitterly sarcastic editorial, re
fers to the conference of the Institute of
International Law, which closed at Elln
burgh yesterday, and to the proposal from
the United States to reassemble The Hag le
tribunal. The paper declares that in
ternational law Is a polite myth, under cover
of which the strongest nation takes what
it wants without regard for Its opponent's
rights and feelings, and says there is not
a tenet In the so-called code which hn
not been broken whenever It suited the
convenience of some nation able to defy it.
The only nations ever appealing to the in.
ternatlonal code, the editorial asserts, are
too weak to stand up for their demands,
and they have always found that the law
was administered by the strong arm of the
most powerful nation always fixing the
Interpretation before the court.
Tho Russ makes an Intricate calculation
of Japan's fighting strength, from which
It concludes that the Japanese have a re
serve of 1,100,000 men upon which to draw
to fill up their battalions decimated In the
field. It says the- critics have been all
along deceived, both by the difference In
the Japanese army on a war and on a
peace footing, and by the statistics of the
able-bodied men fitted to respond to a call
for military service. Russia, the Russ
says, must reckon upon a foe over 1,000,000
strong when organising Its forces to meet
the Japanese In the far east.
While considerable public interest has
been aroused by the reports that President
Roosevelt is sounding the powers as to the
advisability of calling another peace con
ference at The Hague no intimation of such
a purpose has yet been officially conveyed
to Russia, neither through Ambassador
Cassini or Ambassador McCormlck. In offi
cial circles the proposition Is not consid
ered to be exactly opportune. The Russian
government naturally Is greatly interested
in the tribunal, which owes its existence
to Emperor Nicholas' Initiative, and under
ordlnarv circumstances would welcome any
thing to forward Its alms, but, It Is pointed
out that during the war It would hardly
be received with favor. The neutral powers
would of course desire to limit the activity
of the, belligerents. Russia admits that
there are many questions growing out of
the war In the far east which It would
profit all the powers to definitely settle
and it Is in favor of a conference at the
close of the war.
KANSAS -COLORADO LAWSUIT
Proposal to Settle Matter by Annexing
Portion of Sunflower State to
Ceutennlal State.
PJEBLO, Colo., Sept. 29 An effort at
a soultion of the Kansas-Colorado water
suit Is in progress and If the efforts of
those most Interested In the case are suc
cessful a strip of the western portion of
Kansas about 100 miles wide will be an
nexed to the state of Colorado and the
litigation now before tho supreme court
at Washington will be thrown out. Agita
tion along this line has already started and
prominent politicians In both Kansas and
Colorado are exerting every effort to get
the passage of a bill through the legisla
ture of both states, whereby the western
portion of Kansas can be taken Into Colo
rado. This, it is thought by those who
have given tho Irrigation question much
study, will solve the difficulty and both
states will be benefited to a great extent.
The strip of country in western Kansas
which it la proposed to annex to Colorado
is that most affected by the water suit. It
is the arid region of the state, and the ir
rigation problem is of the greatest impor
tance to the residents. To the eask of
Dodge City practically no water la taken
from the Arkansas river for Irrigating pur
poses and the suit against Colorado was
brought for the purpose of securing a
sufficient amount of water In that portion
of the state extending westward from
Dodge City to the Colorado state line.

(Copyright, by New York Herald Co.. 1904.)
ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 29.-(New York
Herald Cablegram Special Telegram to
The Bee.) A feeling of uneasiness aroused
here owing to the lack of definite news
from Port Arthur and General Kouropat
kln Is growing rapidly. What adds to tha
tension is the fact that all reports coming
in are of an unfavorable nature.
Thus It Is reported that enormous bands
of Hunghuses, well ecpulpped, are only
awaiting the moment when General Kouro
patkin( Is engaged, to work havoc In his
rear, while the Chinese have developed
an organized night and day spy service In
favor of tho Japanese. These spy services
extend even Into Port Arthur, whence
every movement of the ships is forthwith
reported to the Japanese. The latter have
no perfected their blockade that not even
a Junk can pass. Reinforced by all the 1
ships that can possibly be placed at his
disposal. Admiral Togo has taken measure
to prevent Admiral Wlren's fleet from es
caping even to neutral ports.
It Is stated tonight that the Japanese
have countermined Port Arthur and an
nihilated 100 Russian.
Such are some of the disquieting; rumors
which now depress the public and tha
bourse was very weak today.
Reports which have been published In
some papers to the effect that General
Kouropatkln had been instructed to glva
battle at Mukden are untrue. A further
contest here Is unlikely.
Japanese Capture Pass.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 29.-5:20 p. m
News has been received here from Mukden
to the effect that the Japanese have at
last begun the offensive. They hsMf cap
tured Da Pass and are pressing on Gen- '
eral Kouropatkin's left flank. The War
office Is unable to confirm this officially,
because Kouropatkin's dispatches are fol
lowing the emperor, but the Associated
Press is informed by the general staff that
all indications point to the news being
correct. It is believed the Russians aban
doned Da Pass without serious resistance.
Several other passes of the Da rang',
eastward of Bcntslaputse (twenty mile
southeast of, Mukden), are also in tli
hands of Japanese.
Kouropatkln is evidently drawing in
forces to the less mountainous country
westward, where he may decide to glv
battle. In the meanwhile sharp fighting la
regarded ns Imminent southeast of Mukden,
whence the Japanese are expected to deliver
their main attack, the flank movement of
the west being of secondary Importance.
Da Pass, or Ta. Pass, meaning great pass.
Is situated about forty-five miles southeast
of Mukden and about the same distance
northeast of Liao Yang. It is about twenty-five
miles south of the Hun river.
The Japanese attacked Da pass, which
was occupied by the troops of Generals
Mistchenko and Samsonoff on September
24, but according to dispatches from Har
bin were twice repulsed.
Grlppenbergr Command Selected.
The emperor will return here from
Odessa tonight. There will be considerable
delay In giving out official telegrams dur
ing his absence. The emperor stopped his
train at Vllna in order to receive In aud.
ence General Grlppenberg, who Is to com
mand the second Manehurlan army, who
went there to hand over the churge of the
military district. "
General Grippenberg's chief of staff, Gen
eral Rousesky, served with distinction dur
ing the Turkish war and was woundei at
Plevna. General Schwanka, chief of start
of the Sixth corps In Poland, has been
appointed quartermaster general of the
second army, which will be composed ot
six corps, Including the Eighth Odessa
corps and the Sixth Siberian corps. Tna
latter Is now with General Kouropatkln.
The remaining corps are not yet desig
nated, though It Is understood they will
Include one corps from Klrff, one from
Caucasus' and one from the Sixth eauRft)
front Lomja.
Epldemle Among Japanese,
TIE I'ASS, Sept. 29. The if panose armies
around Liao Yang are reported to be dost
mated by epidemics, due to decaying
corpses. ,
The Japanese are said to have damned
the Liao river above Liao Yang, flooded
the country In order to protect their left
flank.
Winter clothing is being received by tha
Japanese from America.
Japan Increases Military trenarlh.
TOKIO, Sept. 29. 10 a. m. The emer
gency ordinance amending the army con
scription law was gazetted today. It ex
tends the service of the second reservist

tired at the age of 87.
A contemplated Increase In the army In
volves a new scheme of divisional organi
sation, the plan of which has not yet
beca disclosed.
At the Foreign office this evening it li
stated that the new conscription regula
tions will augment the available Japanese
fibhllng force by ubout 2C,jO men.
