RISSIAXS EXPECT LITTLE NEWS
Tim Of Anxiety Comes with Report of
Forward Movement.
BT. PETERSBURG. Oct. 11.-12:46 p. m.
A period of anxiety is ahead. The Rus
sian pupils have been warned that now
the tables are turned and the Russian
army Is advanclng-4hey cannot expect news
which m'sht reveal General Kouropatkln's
plans to the Japanese, and the people
will have to be conten. with meager In
formation concerning what has actually
been accomplished until the Impending bat
tle is In full swing. The same reticence
characUrlsel the Japanese offensive, an-1
the latter, oelng how on the defensive, will
probably furnish the world with more in
formation of tne. Russian, movements than
can be expected from the Russian side.
An officer of the 'general staff, speaking
of the necssslty for secTecy while on the
offensive, recalled how, a private letter
falling Into the hands of . Napoleon after
the battle, of Borodino, betrayed the whole
plan for Barclay de Tolly's offensive move
ments and almost )od to disaster.
With the curtain down, on the war stage
many wild rumors may be expoctel. Whllo
the general staff Intimates, that Kouropat
kln is advancing cautiously and entrench
ing as he goes, most of the military critics '
hold the oplnloi. that his greatest chance
of succes-j Is a quick smnsh at the Japanese
positions north of th Taltse river, which
would drtv the Japanese bock In confusion
back upon the river before they had a
chance to prepare for their "i'thdrawal.
As Kouropatkln's order of tho day was not
given out until seven days after the ad
vance began It would not be surprising if
heavy fighting was already In progress.
Indeed, the latejt newspaper dispatches say
that an artillery . duel Ins cd throughout
Sunday on the carter, and right flank an!
tliit the J a panose are everywhere retiring
before ths Rustin advance
The statement that Kouropatkln is mov
ing on each , side of the railroad In order
to have a.t easy Ilne of communication
would Indicate his Intention to make, a
frontal attack, ' with a possible turning
movement from' the Vent, where the ground
is open, but there the river bars the way
and no decisive victory Is seemingly possi
ble unless he can reach the Japanese line.
A military expert writes: "it Is difficult
to say when Field Marshal Oyama will ac
cept bttle. Perhaps he will resist the ad
vance at various positions north ' of the
Taltse river and then defend the river, but
acoordlr.g to tho latest unofficial reports
our troo-s ari advancing along the whole
line and th cavalry' is even across the
Taltse rive.'.'

Everything points to that district as being
the prospective scene of the decisive strug
gle of this years campaign, strategic,
reasons of the most weighty character
render It Imperative for the Russians, as
well as for the Japanese to bestow their
chief attention upon the country east of the
railway. The Russians are- compelled to
this course because the railroad runs north
eastward and hence linos of communication
are more vulnerable from the cast.
The Japanese are Influenced by a similar
consideration but the railroad no longer
plays a foremost part In their plans. In view
of the approaching close of navigation at
Ylnkow and of the fact that the line to
Piteswo Is long and cumbersome and liable
to interruption they must consider Peng
Wang Cheng and Takurhan as the source
of supplies during the winter, and with
this in view the eastern communications
of Llao Yang are of the utmost import
ance. The Yental trjangle is admirably sit
uate! to protect them. Field Marshal
Oyama must tli ore fore hold this triangle at
alt. costs.- The problem confronting Gen
eral Kouropatkln In the Immediate future la
the capture of the fortified heights covering
this triangle, where the Japanese will have
the advantage of fighting behind breast
works and utilizing their superiority In
mountain guns. The general superiority of
the Japanese In mountain operations la con
ceded. The Russian commander undoubt.
edly, is aware of the difficulties of the task
before him, has measured them well and Is
confident of his ability to overcome them.
If General Kouropatkln possessed an army
of half a million men, he could leave a
sufficient force to attack the triangle, while
he moved with the remainder around the
eastern -and western flanks. This la con
sidered In the best Informed alrcles at the
War office to be Improbable with the num
bers now composing General Kouropatkln's
army, and a frontal advance Is the only
alternative. Operations, however, are likely
to be marked by feints on the light and
left. The Japanese probably will make
similar movements until both armies be
come Involved In a death struggle.

MOST POWERFUL VESSEL BUILT W STATE
For Firs Time In tnlted States
a Warship Is Lannchod
with Steam In Its
Boilers.
BATIt, Me., Oct ll.-The battleship
Georgia was launched at 1:53 p. m.
Everything was ready early today for the
launching from the Bath Iron works of the
largest vessel ever built in the state of
Maine, the twin screw, first-class battle
ship Georgia. Miss Stella Tate, daughter
of the late Major William Tate and a sister
of Congressman F. Carter Tate, who was to
christen the vessel, and other guests of he
builders arrived yesterday. The weather
was cloudy, but conditions generally were
favorable for a successful launching this
afternoon.
Description of Ship.
The Georgia is one of the three battle
ships authorized under an act of con
gress, approved March 8, 1899, and is also
a duplicate of the two authorized and ap
proved June 7, 1900. Bids for these five
battleships were opened at the Navy de
partment November 15, WOO. and in Feb
ruary, 1901. the Bath Iron works was
awarded the contract for the building of
the Georgia, a sister ship of the Virginia,
Rhode Island, New Jersey and Nebraska,
at a contract price of $3,590,000.
The Georgia belongs to the most power
ful type of battleship afloat, and also to
the largest class. It has a trial dis
placement of 15,0u0 tons and is 435 feet long,
76 feet 10 inches beam, and under trial
conditions will draw twenty-four feet,
while it has an extreme draft of twenty
aix feet when fully loaded and equipped
with stores, coal, ammunition, etc.
Both military masts, with fighting tops
and signaling gear, ,are now In position,
and three smoke funnels are set up, and
the Georgia has the distinction of being
the first battleship launched with steam up.
The Georgia is fitted as a flagship. Quar
ters are provided for a total of 700 men,
consisting of one flag officer, one com
manding officer, one chief of staff, twenty
wardroom officers, twelve Junior officers,
ten warrant officers and a crew of 653 men,
including marines.
The big battleship was gaily decorated,
with flags and bunting, as were also the
office and yard buildings, In honor of the
occasion. ( Excursionists from all sections
of Maine had come to witness the launch
ing ani the party entertained by the offi
cials of tin company Included Governor
Joseph M. Terrell of Georgia, Mrs. Terrell,
Judge and Mrs. Hamilton McWhorter, Miss
Camella, McWhorter, Congressman F. Car
ter Tate, Mrs. Tate, Miss Stella Tate ar.d
Congressman W. C. Adamson, all of
Georgia.
Launched with Steam l'y.
Miss Tate was escorted to the launching
platform by Vloe President John S. Hydo
and instructed In her duties as sponsor.
Mr. Hyde also had personal supervision of
the launching. A method somewhat differ
ent from the uauul one of releasing the
hull by severing a cord was employed to
day, when sawers standing beneath the
vessel severed the monstrous shoe pieces
with crosscut saws, and the vessel was
started toward the water.
As the battleship began to move Miss
Tate broke a bottle of champagne across
the bow, naming the craft in "honor of her
own state, and after the stern parted the
surface of the Kenncbea the Georgia was
saluted by numerous craft and manufac
turing plants along the shore, all of which
were acknowledged by its siren whlletle, as
the battleship was launched with steam up.
Both military masts were In position, as
well as the conning tower and the three
smoke funnels, which gave the vessel more
th appearance of a completed battleship
than any previously launched.
Following the launching a luncheon was
served.
Gnnboat Padncah la Launched, .v
NEW YORK, Oct. ll.-The gunboat Pa-
ducah was successfully launched at the
shipyards of the Gas Engine and Power

QAN DRINK TROUBLE
That's one way to aiet It.
Although they won't admit It many
people who suffer from sick headaches
and other alls get them straight from the
coffee they drink and it is easily proved
if they're not afraid to leave it to a test
as In the case of a lady In Connellsville.
"I had been a sufferer from sick head
aches for twenty-five years and anyone who
has ever had a bad sick headache knows
what I suffered. Sometimes three days In
the week I would have to remain in bed,
at other tlmea I couldn't lie down the pain
would be so great. My life was a torture
and if I went away from home for a day
I always came back more dead than alive.
"One day I was telling a woman my
troubles and she told me she knew that
it was probably coffee caused it. She
said she had been cured by sloping cof
fee and using Postum Food Coffee and
urged me to try this food drink.
"That's how I came to send out and
get some Postum and from that time I've
never been without It for It suits my taste
and has entirely cured all of my old
troubles. All I did was to leave off the
coffee and tea and drink wi made
Postum in Its place. This change has done
me more good than everything else put
together.
"Our house was like a drug store for
my husband bought everything he heard
of to help me without doing sny good,
but when I began on the Postum my head
aches oeased and the other troubles
quickly disappeared. I have a friend who
had an experience Just like mine and
Poatum cured her Just as It did me.
' "Postum not only cured the headaches,
but my generul health has been Improved
and I am much stronger than be Tore.
I now enjoy delicious Posium more than I
ever did coffee." Name give by Poatum

CREW OF FREIGHT TO BLAME
Oaronai Concludes His Lrmrtigatioi of

CHARGES TRAINMEN WITH GOING TO SLEEP
Two of the Brakemen Arrested on
Charge of Stealing Star froaa
Bear of Man Who Waa
Killed.
WARRENSBURG, Mo., Oct. 11. The crew
of the extra freight train which collided
with the Missouri Pacific World's fair train
yesterday, resulting In the death of twenty
nine persons, Is held responsible for the
disaster by the coroner's Jury, which re
turned a verdict tonight. . The verdict
charges the crew with disobeying orders
and with being asleep at their post of
duty. No recommendation was made as to
the prosecution of the train crew.
County I Prosecuting Attorney Morrow
said after the Inquest that he would Im
mediately begin the prosecution of the per
sons charged with the responsibility of the
wreck by the coroner's Jury.
At the hearing this afternoon Engineer
Horton of the extra freight acknowledged
that he had mistaken train No. 50 for the
second section of No. SO. He was positive
that four trains eastbound had passed and
if he was asleep at any time while the
train was on the siding, he did not know
it. "I waa drowsy," he said, "but don't
think I was asleep. If I was asleep I was
sitting straight up In the cab of my en
gine."
Following is a list of the members of
the freight crew: John D. Horton of Be
dalla, engineer; J. W. Preston of Jefferson
City, conductor; R. G. Dawson of Sedulla
fireman; L. A. Hayncs and E. Zlegler of
Jefferson City, brakemen.
The examination of W. W. McVey, night
operator at Montserrat, brought out the
fact that the train dispatcher at Sednlla
ordered out wrecking crews, section men
and doctors before the two trains came
together.
Julia A. Wood of Oxford, Kan., who was
Injured in the wreck, is not expected to
live. Others of the Injured who were
brought to the railway hospital here for
treatment are progress'ng favorably.
The unidentified woman among the dead
proves to be Mrs, T. H. Alley of Cedar-
ville. Kan., whose husband also was killed.
Brakemen Charged with Theft.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Oct. 11. E.
Ziegler and L. A. Haynes, brakemen on
the freight train which crashed Into a
Missouri Pacific World's fair train near
Warrensburg, Mo., yesterday, killing
twenty-nine persons, were arrested here to
day on warrants charging them with steal
ing 837 from tho body of a fellow brake-
man named Seldel, who was killed. A
bloodstained railroad ticket. Issued to James
England of Dexter, Kan., was found In
the pocket of one of the men under arrest
Ziegler and Haynes are among those ac
cused by the Warrensburg coroner's Jury

train remained. At Iowa Falls Senator
Fairbanks dwelt . upon the prosperity of
the farmers. He said: ""'
Something- for Farmers.
An eminent democratlo authority some
time ago. in the hone of winning the sun-
port of the great agricultural vote, asserted
that the republican party had done but
little for the farmers of the country. He
contrasted the expenditure of 85,000,000 or
86,000,000 for the support of the agricultural
department with expenditures for the sup
port of other branches of the federal ser
vice. The statement waa not entirely ac
curate, though he did not mean that It
should fall short of the absolute truth. The
republican party has not only appropriated
86,000.000 for the support of that depart
ment at the head of which is the great
secretary of agriculture, James Wilson of
Iowa, but It appropriated more than 820,
000,000 at the last session for the support
01 me rural rree aenvery service through
out the United States. That service is one
of the fruits of republican administration.
More Important than these are the benefits
coming to the farmers of the United State
through the beneficial operation of the poli
cies of the republican party. The fact is
that our farmers have been benefited by the
operation of these prices during the last
seven ana a nan years more than they
have ever been benefited In all of tho his
tory of the republic.
At Waterloo, Senator Allison and former
Speaker Henderson ocoupled seats on the
platform, while Senator Fairbanks spoke
and both made speeches there after the
vice presidential candidate took his de
parture. He was accompanied during ths
day by Governor Cummins and other prom
inent Iowa republicans. Senator Fairbanks
made his night speech at Marshulltown
and there spoke in Green's opera house to
a large and appreciative audience. He
waa introduced by Attorney Henry Stone,
an old college mate.
