AUTOMATIC MACHINERY.
Not Taken to Kindly by the PeasaDtry
of Russia.

Of Russia.
An incident has recently come un-
der our notice which suggests that
while our industrial success results
largely from the invention Of auto
matte machinery, it is also due to the
readiness with which the American
workman appreciates its value and
the alacrity with which he makes
haste to furnish himself with the
very latest labor-saving improve
ments. We all remember how, dur
ing the great strike in the English en-
gineering trades, it transpires that
one Of the chief grievances ofthe men
was the introduction of automatic
tools into the machine shops-the
trades unions claiming the right to
regulate the amount of output from
each machine That opposition, Of
course, was based upon the exploded
theory that labor-saying machinery
was inimical to the interests Of labor
The prejudice was not against the
machine, but against its supposed
economic results.
Now, however, It appears that in
some districts in Europe there Is a
positive prejudice against automatic
mechanical deYices as such, the la
borer preferr'ng to work by hand
The Russian peasant fayors such au-
tomato machinery as comes nearest
to the hand operations to which he
has been accustomed from time i'm,
memorial, and, as a matter Of choice
in many cases, he will perform la
borious operations on the machine
rather than accept one which ignores
hand labor altogether. A correspond
ent informs us that SO pronounced Il
this prejudice, that he is designing al
automatic harvester which will con
form to the time-honored habits O
the people with as little sacrifice a
possible Of its automatic features

The Democrats of the State have
met in convention, formulated a
state platform and nomin ated can
didate for Governor. In our
opinion a stronger candidate than
Gov. Beckham could have been
selected, but if mistake was made
it is now to late too correct it. The
nominee is fortunate in having the
national ticket to assist him and
give confidence in the result. The

Sensations That Came 0vsr tho Soldier
IN the BattlenaId
Onn of iho mogt VIVID aceonnia of

"""A|"|NNNAN|
In the Battlefield.
One Of the most vivid accounts Of
a battlefield under modern conditions
reaches the public through the medi-
um Of a private letter from one Of the
war correspondents Of the London
Daily News:
AS regards my own feelings in a
fight they are very hard to describe; l
know when the thing is all over and
/ am all right | feel much happier.
ANY man who has been in modern
fight, where men are being knocked
over all around, and says he likes it,
/ isa liar. In former days il must have
been different. The enemy could be
seen, the smoke could be seen, and
the rife had TO be reloaded after every
shot. At 1000 yards you were in
comparative safety. The infantry,
after receiving one volley, could
charge, knowing that until the enc
my had loaded again each man was
practically safe. Nowadays, that is
all changed. Nothing is seen-no
man, no smoke. The only thing seen
is the dust thrown up by the bullets,
| like a rainstorm on the surface Of
lake, the artillery throwing shells,
and the shells bursting. In contrast
to this is the noise, which is internal;
with occasional lulls it sounds as if a
million kettle-drums we're being
played constant tra-ra-ra-ra, with
the boom, boom Of the big guns and
harsher sound Of the pumping Of the
naxims, hotchkiss, mazim-norden-
felts, and machine-guns in general.
The discord is appalling, as every gun
has a different sound, and each she'll
going through the air huns or whis-
ties according to its breed After a
time you can tell what is coming, or,
if it is one Of your own, what is going.
The most terrifying Of the enemy's
guns is a sort Of hotchkiss, which fires
about five rounds a time, and throws
one-pound shell, which bursts. You
are safe nowhere, as a bullet fired at
an object at 500 yards which misses
hits and kills at 1000 or 5000. 1t
practically means with these rifles
that a bullet is never spent until it
hits something and remains there.
When a bullet strikes you hear
nothing; it goes right through man
and probably travels on another 1000
yards, You hear a grunt or a gurgle,
and the man collapses and doubles
up; sometimes if hit in the arm or leg
he spins round and falls, and proba-
bly, gets up again, as it is only the
shock which knocks him down, and he
hardly feels it. At Modder river l
went down with three guns Of the
Eighteenth battery to within 1900
yards, and saw five men go over, one
after the other, but only one killed.
The worst thing is bullet-wound in
the stomach below the navel, which
is mortal. The pain is excruciating,
and they howl like shot hare; it
sounds like a child screaming, and is
horrible. But you see such a lot of
beastly Sights and hear such lot Of
heart-rending sounds that you be-
come accustomed to it and callous.

WEATHER OF SEPT.
Unusually Warm, Cloudy and Rainy,
Chancellor Snow Saws

Lawrence, Kansas Oct. l.-Chan.
cellor +. II. Snow of the University of
Kansas issued the monthly weather
report this morning, giving a resume
of the weather for September. He
says the month just closed was un-
usually warm, cloudy and rainy for
September. Only eight Septembers
in the last thirty-three years have
been warmer, only seven have been
cloudier and only one rainer. The
mean temperature was 6S.96 degrees,
two degrees above the September
average. The highest temperature
was % degrees, September 6, and the
lowest was 45 degrees, September 81.
The range was less than usual, but
the mean of the last half of the month
was fourteen below that of the first
half. The rainfall was S.26 inches,
five inches above the September
average, and more than twice the av-
erage amount of rain fell on thirteen
days, and there were six thunder
storms. The entire rainfall of the
nine months of 1900 now completed
has been 80 inches, which is 6.13 in
ches above the average for the same
months of the thirty-two preceding
years. The mean cloudiness was 5
per cent above the average for the
same months of these preceding years,
and the relative humidity was some
what higher than usual. In other re-
| spects the month was normal.

BASE COUNTERFEITERS
Intended to lOod > Galveston With
Bogus Relief Money

New York, oct. l.-Chief Hazen. of
the secret service, stationed in this
city, was to-day placed in possession
of two molds for silver dollars which
were discovered in somewhat re-
markable manner. While George f.
Hayes, nurse who left New York
with the New York journal and Ad.
vertiser relief expedition was busy
sorting supplies on the deck at CAL
weston few days ago, he came across
a package which had some peculiar
mark on it.. He threw it into wagon
which was taking medicines to relief
hospital. Here it was opened and the
molds discovered. There was also
the half of $50 bill pasted on slip
of paper. Hidden in the paper pack
age there was a note which read;
BE sure and see that --- gets
plenty of drugs. If you don't she
won't be able to do anything"
The package turned out to have
been sent from this city to Galveston
on a steamboat that had left New
York and touched at no other port.
Chief Hazen said in regard to the
matter:
"The counterfeiters undoubtedly in
tended to take advantage of the ex-
citement in Galveston and run off a
large quantity of bogus silver dollars
to circulate in the food of money fol-
lowing the relief of the distress"
The discovery of the molds is re-
garded as important by secret service
people, in that it denotes that there is
a counterfeiting gang in New York
and possibly with branches all over
the United States.

ARR GOING TO MANILA
Cavalry Bound for China Ordered
to Change Route.
NO MORE TROOPS WILL BE SENT
Policy of the Administered, Ia Being
Carried Out. Official Messages to
General Chaire are
Delayed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.-Action has
been taken by the war department car.
rying out the recently announced pol
icy OF the government to send no more
troops to China at present. An order
was sent to the department agents at
Kobe, Japan, to divert the First United
States cavalry and their animals from
that port to Manila, instead of allowing
them to proceed to Taku according to
their original orders. The department
was informed that the Chrome, with
eight companies of the First cavalry
and the Packing with the animals OF
the organization, had arrived at Kobe.
Another important development over
night was General Chatfee's statement
that he had not heard from the war de.
partment since Aug. A. fortnight
ago. News has come from China
within that period of time and the fact
that nothing has gone forward to Chat
fee and without doubt Minister Conger
is IN the same state, goes to confirm
the officials here in the conviction that
the wires are being manipulated,
Probably by Chin. Sc Agents
between Che Foo and Shanghai, the
cable connection. The discovery cer-
tainly will tend to hasten the construc-
ton of projected cable connections be-
tween Shanghai and Che Foo, thus
placing the entire control Of the circuit
from Washington to Pellin outside OF
Chinese officials at any point. The
subject may also be made the basis Of
some strong representations to Sheng,
the Chinese director of posts and tele-
graphs at Shanghai.
A casualty list from Colonel Wint
was the only communication received
at the war department from China. 1t
referred to the engagement of the 10Th
near Tien Tsin. A dispatch was also
received by the war department. from
General Chatfee stating that he had
offered assistance to Baroness Won Ket-
teller, wife of the late German minister
to China, and would furnish her trans
portation and escort to Tien Tsin; also
transportation to Nagasaki. This dis
patch seems to indicate that Chaffee is
in Pekin and not in Tien Tsin, as some
have asserted
