WAR RUM0RS ARE RIFE.
WILL RUSSIA FIGHT THOUGH HER
PEOPLE ARE STARVING?
Her Troops Drilling ON the Plains Along
the ePruth-RoumaniaS seriously Alarm
eds it IA Move Against Turkey that
is Really Meditated?

vienna, Austria, Sept. 26.--The war
rumors are again rife and this time appar-
emily there is ground for grave apprehen-
sion. For some time Russia has been con
centrating troops along its European
frontiers and strengthening its fortifca-
tions on the Black Sea. For the past few
days the Russian troops have been drilling
almost incessantly. On the plains opposite
Rumania extending along the river Pruth,
the infantry and cavalry have been prac-
tising forced night marches aud other
night military tactics by the aid OF cleo
trio lights
The Rumanian government officials
have become very seriously alarmed over
the situation, and fearing an attack arc
making all possible efforts To put their
forces In position 20 repel Russian in
vasion. The kumanlan infantry are be-
ing rapidly conveyed from the interior
points 10 the frontiers opposite Russia,
and "A large force of cavalry have been
ordered to report at once In Upper Mol
I davia.
The two facts OF the concentration OF the
Rurmanian forces aud the forced night
drills of Russian troops are vigorously
commented upon by the continental jour
mails. War rumors have been abundant in
the recent past, but actual overt steps
looking toward that end have not been SO
plentiful as now. On the one hand IL is
said that the discomfort in Rumania has
been tostered by Russian intrigues and
TINS show or force iS made 10 test TIE
strength of the popular feeling toward the
government. On the other hand IL Is said
that it is ruse of Russia 20 attract atten-
tion from an attack which is To be made
against Turkey and the Black Sea
provinces. The Porte il now in
serious dilemma because Of the
Arabian insurrecton and the fact
that a number OF the Caliphs stand ready
10 defy the Sultan should occasion offer.
In event of such "A course the Sultan would
be left almost wholly without popular sup
port as the Caliphs would independently
possessMecca, the stronghold Of the religion
Of Mohammed, Of which the Sultan is sup
posed To be the special protector Deserted
by his people the Sultan would be an easy
prey TO Russia, and the outlet for Russia
from the Black sea, the dream Of Alexan-
der the Great, would be AN accomplished
fact. "
The two conditions initiating against
such an overt attack are the poorly
equipped force, of Russia-her army snow
practising with "a rifle with which il will
REQUIRE two years 10 equip the infantry
and the poor crops, rs a result of which
starvation is staring thousands of the
peasants in the face

LODGE ACCEPTS THE CHALLENGE.
He VIII Discuss the Issue of the Day with
Gov. Russell.

BosToN, Mass, Sept. 26.--To q we'll
known Democrat. Henry Cabot Lodge said
this morning that he should accept the
challenge of the Democrats TO discuss with
Gov. Russell the State and national issues
during the coming state campaign.
Mr.. Lodge thus shows himself more In
touch with the feelings of Massachusetts,
voters than the State Central Committee
which officially refused to consider the
challenge three days ago. The alleged
ground was that such challenges had uni
formly been refused before and no new
departure would be made now
Mr. Lodge believes that the Republican
principles are right and that they will
bear the test of public controversy. Ii is
thought that he will be more than n match
for Gov. Russell whose large promises to
the labor element Of his constituents have
been so signally neglected
