SITUATION IN FAR EAST
ALARMIST REPORTS ARE STILL
 BEING SENT OUT.
sian and Japaaese officials Has Thus Far Been FutiIe-Japan Has Troops in corea-Indicstions That Japanese Army Has Been Quietly Reorganized.

London, Oct 17.-Special correspond ents continue to send in alarmist re- ports of the Russo-Japanese situation. The correspondent at Chee Foo of the Morning Post has gone to Wei-Hai-Wei, whence he cables:
 T am informed in trustworthy quar- ters that Japan has landed troops at Ping Yang, at the outlet of Corea Bay. It is currenly reported that the confer ence of the Russian and Japanese au- thorities has been futile" ....
 The correspondent at Hakodate, Japan, of the Daily Mail announces un- usual military activity there, saying that 100000 men have been concentrated at Hakodate in readiness for embarka- ton in the event of hostilities. The correspondent adds that torpedoes are being laid in the ports of western Japan.
 Other of the Daily Mails correspond ents report the recall by Japan of her military commission which has been examining the Swiss hospital system, and the uneasiness of Russian authori- ties as to the capability of Port Arthur to resist attack from it's land ap- breaches.
 The Daily Mail points out that Hako- date is the port which would be used in the event of Japan sending an expedi- ton against Vladivostock, and says that such a large concentration of troops there shows that part of the Japanese army has been very quietly mobilized
 It was rumored on the Cardiff Coal exchange yesterday that both Russia and Japan were seeking large pur- chases of Welsh coal.
 Cabling from Tien Tsin, core spondent of the Standard says a visitor at Yongampho Corea, reports one Rus sian fort already built there and an other in course of construction. The Russians are said to be extending the boundary of their leased territory south of Taisan.
 The Morning Post, discussing the ru- rnors of the partition of Corea and ot the erection of Russian forts at Ton. gampho, etc, declares that under nc circumstances would Japan consent to the partition of Corea, because to per X init Russia to absorb a portion would only be prelude to the annexation oi the whole of Corea, The paper adds that the Anglo-Japanese agreement provided expressly for the maintenance of Corean integrity, and it is therefore unlikely that Russia has erected the forts referred to.

CUTS IN STEEL MEMS WAGES
Reported to be Impending at Home stead-ExpIanatIon at PIttsburg.

Pittsburg. Oct. 16.-The visit of the United States Steel corporation officials on their inspection trip has started a very important report relating to the situation in the steel mills at Homestead and Braddock. It is believed to have been practically decided to cut the wages of operatives all the way from 10 to 25 per cent, some classes suffering the minimum and others the maximum reduction. The corporation doubtless had this in mind when it was definitely decided several weeks ago to re-enter the export trade on a large scale, as present prices of labor would not per init of such policy. The men at these works have been anticipating just such movement, even prior to the readjust- ment notice served on October l.

 New York, Oct. 16.-The Restoration Host" under the leadership of John Al exander Dowie, garrisoned Madison Square Garden to-day and completed preparations to sally tomorrow on the works of the enemy. The first detach- ment, numbering about four hundred, arrived early in the morning, and re- maining trains followed during the day and evening. Leaving the ferryboats, the crusaders boarded special cars which were in waiting and proceeded
 direct to the Garden to the music of their bands and the singing of hymns. The general oyerseer himself, accom- panied by his family and staff, arrived in his special train at the Grand Gen. tral station, where, owing to a nlisun- |derstanding, his private carriage failed to meet him and heswas compelled to go ! to the Plaza hotel in hack. From the Plaza Dr. Dowie went to the Gar den, where he restored order out of the general confusion that prevailed, and outlined his plans in an interview with the newspaper men. He denied that he intended to raise a fund of S50,000,00t while here and declined to say whether he was going to found another Zion city | here.
 It is intended to begin the house-to. house visitation tomorrow, and the first public service will be held in tht 1 Garden on Sunday.

BY NARROW MARGIN
Metal Workers Vote Against striking
 to Enforee Demands.

Meriden, Conn, Oct. 16.-A statement given out from headquarters of the Metal Workers union late this after noon contained figures differing very materially from those obtained earlier from seni-official source. According to the statement the strike proposition failed to pass by only small margin. The vote was 1,1O2 in favor of a strike and $50 against it. As the union rules require that 75 per cent. of those voting must vote "Yes'' in order to pass a strike order, there were 137 more votes needed and the order failed of passage by that margin only.

It had been reported that Boris Sara foff was killed october 12 in skirmish at Pruva, near Florina.
 Boris Sarafoff was the life and soul of the insurgent operations in Macedo- mia. All his life Sarafoff was an active enemy of the Turk. When he was a boy of fourteen he saw his father and grandfather tortured and dragged in chains to dungeon. He has been de- scribed as the most romantic figure in the Balkans. He was popuIarly believ- ed and stated to be the real instigator |of the abduction of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary, in Septem- Der, 1901, in order to procure, through her ransom, funds to enable the Mace donian revolutionary committee to or ganize the insurrection. In 1899 Sara foff, after serving as an officer in the Bulgarian army, formed band of des- peradoes to raid Turkish territory. Since then he headed nearly four hum dred daring raids into Turkey. Once he captured the Turkish town of Melnik with forty men, putting the garrison to flight. Throughout the recent dispatch es recounting the revolutionary move- ments in Macedonia his name had con- stantly recurred. He was more than once previously reported to have been killed. He was only thirty .years.o .old.---

PENNELL TRAGEDY RECALLED
ACTION TO RECOVER THE LARGE
 INSURANCE.
Actions Stricken from Day caIendrr
 and Have Not Been Restored-seu. sstionaI Testimony Likely to be Dee veIoped if Case Comes to TriaI-stand
of the Insurance Companies.


 of the Insurance Companies.
 Buffalo, Oct. 16.-The actions brought by J. Frederick Pennell, as administra- tor of the estate of his brother, the late Arthur Reed Pennell, to recover the large insurance carried by him were stricken from the day calendar soon after the opening of the supreme court for the term, and up to this time have not been restored.
 While there may be some sensational testimony developed should the case come to trial, the Burdick cases will not figure directly. The situation, it is said, is simply this: The Pennell estate wants the insurance money, and the insurance companies refuse to pay on the ground that Pennell killed his wife and himself by deliberately riding his automobile over the Jammerthal quar- ries in Kensington last March.
 At the calendar call in the supreme court this afternoon 1t was announced that the suit of Henry ". Lamb, as administrator of the estate of his daughter, the late Carrie l.. Penneli, to recover an insurance policy of $1O,0OO was not ready for trial and the case was held until the next calendar call, which will take place some day next week. ...+..~
 Buffalo, Oct. 16.-It was stated to- might on good authority that all the life insurance companies which carried poll licies upon the life of Arthur R. Pennell lhave decided to join with the Aetna Life Insurance company in the defense of the action brought by the adminis- trator of the Pennell estate to recover on the $1O,00O policy.
