LONDON, Nov. 2.-The dispatch from
WeI-Hai-Wei, announcing war prepara-
tions, officials here announce as grave,
coupled with the Anglo-France war
preparations. 1t is surmised that Rus
sia, profting by the present strained
relations between Great Britain and
France, has decided to forward her aims
in the Far East by seizing the valuable
treaty port OF Niu Chaung, which Great
Britain cannot permit, it is said.
A dispatch from London to the Asso-
ciated Press October 20, said cable
message had been received there from
Shanghai as follows:
ga Russian regiment occupied the
town of Niu Chaung tprvoince of Leo
Tong), aud the forts at the mouth
of the River Liaou, October Is, thus
securing complete possession of Niu
Chaung. The native troops fled without
making any opposition, under orders
from the empress dowager and Ii Hung
Chang. A British gunboat was in the
river at the time. This nonresistance
is regarded as virtual abandonment of
Manchuria to Russia, and gives Russia
an invaluable strategic point. Great
Britain is certain to loose the Niu
Chaung trade, of which it has about 80
per cent.

POSSIBLE FAILURE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 1a-The
difficulty which is being experienced in
the construction of the proposed COM
mission for the investigation of the
conduct of the stan branches OF the
army during the war with Spain has
excited some discussion in military cir
cles as to the possibility of the prac-
tlcal failure OF an investigation by
commission. It develops that there Is a
decided dIsapproval among army off,
GERS OF the proposition to have the con-
duct Of the war investigated bH a civil
commission which cannot be clothed
with any judicial authority. The OBJ
lection Is not on account OF any pre-
judlce against civil authorities, inter-
ferIng in military matters, but Is due
to the fact that testimony before

thority would be In a manner voluntary

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Sept. lS.-An
OF the parts Of the dismembered body OF
the young woman SO mysterIously muir
dered and mutllated and cast Into the
waters of the Yellow Mil river have
been found. The trunk was discovered
to-day. The upper half. with the arms
attached, was in one package, while the
lower part of the body was in a second
package.
The upper half of the body was wrap
ped In what appears to be half of .
black rubber carriage blanket, There
we're two eyelet holes in 1t.
The abdominal part of the trunk was
swathed in a white rubber sheet, such
as IS used in surgical operating rooms.
This latter circumstance. together
with tho plain evidence that the body
was severed, like the legs and head, by
an expert using a keen knife and per-
feet edged saw, leads the police to the
conviction that the mutllation and pre-
sumably the murder was done by SUR
genn.
The upper half of the trunk is Intact.
The stomach. liver and other organs lo-
Gated in the upper part of the human
anatomy are all in place, but the abb
dominal portion of the body has been
despolled of nearly every organ. This
suggests that the young woman was the
victim of criminal operation at the
