St. Petersburg Denies Reported Capture of His Army

St, Petersburg Denies Reported Capture
 of His Army.
 St. Petersburg, September 13.-Tha War Office has authorized the Associa- ted Press to deny the report circulated by the, Morning Post of London to the effect that three thousand men of Lieut.. Gen. Zassalitch's corps have been captured; to deny the report from the same source that he has been wounded, and to deny also the state ment from Tokio that dum-dum bul- lets were used by the Russians at Lt- aoyang.
 The Emperor has received a dispatch from Gen. KuropatlSin, announcing that a considerable force of Japanese had been seen south of the village of Bianiupuza, whic his thirty-six kilo- metres southeast of Mukden, No fur- ther engagements wer ereported.
 Kuropatkin, in his report, is said to have outlined the military situation and the disposition of the Russian forces and described minutely the stra- tegical considerations. It is also un- derstood that he dealt at length with the political aspect of the situation. The contents of the report will not be pub lished.
 The authorities here are unanimously of the opinion that Gen. Kuropatkin will not withdraw from Mukden with out accepting battle. It is expected that he will leave 50,0OO men to de- fend Mukden while the remainder of his army retires to Tie Pass. It Is be- lieved that Gen. Kuropatkin has over ,O0O men. The General Staff said today that, since the battle of Liao- yang, Gen. Kuropatkin has been re- inforced by two army corps.

CALL FOR INTERVENTION
Resolution Adopted by the InterparIia
 mentary Peace Conference.

@NNSOAAANSAA &hfAVPhSN " NAAN
 mentary Peace Conference.
 St. Louis, Sept 1s.At the second days session of the Inter -parliamenta- .ry. Peace conference to-day Count Gob- let d'olveilla presented this resolution calling for intervention, in tke Russo Japanese war, It reads:
 The nterparliamentary conference. shocked by the horrors of the war that Is being waged in the Far East between two civilized states and deploring that the powers signatory of the convention of The Hague have been unable to have recourse to the clauses thereof which direct them to render their mediation immediately upon the outbreak of hos tilities, asked the powers signatory of the convention of The Hague to Inter vene either jointly or separately with the belligerents in order to facilitate the restoration of peaces or instruct the interparliamentary bureau to bring the present resolution to the knowledge of said powers.
 Count q 'Alviella in presenting the res olution used these words: T trust we shall render Russia great favor in helping her out of her difficulties. As to Japan, am one of those who have thought from tht outset that the exist ance of a strong Japanese empire in the Far East might become factor in the equilibrium of the world, provided such empire stands not as a new factor of 1 was but as an emblem of peace and civ- l ilizatlon.'
 l In closing he urged that the president l of the United States was quite the proper person to tender mediation The only opposition to the resolution was that is was not vigorous enought, but the resolution was adopted.
 The new Hague conference proposi- tion was next taken up. Congressman Burton of Cleveland presented the res- olution and urged its adoption. The resolution was supported enthu-
 siastically and It's adoption was unant- mously voted.
 By this resolution President Roose- welt is asked to call a second session of The Hague conference. The resolution was that drafted by Congressman Bar Ithodlt, endorsed by the legislative coun- loil and announced by The Associated Press exclusively on Saturday last. 4 With the two, important questions of the day disposed of, the real labors of l the conference ended. There will be a final session tomorrow, however.

 FOR HIGGINS

 toned in OppositiOn-PIatt Declares
 It VIII be Presented to the conven-
 ton and the Former Lieutnant Gov
 ernor Says He win be Nominated.
 Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 1s.-Unless the forces behind the candidacy of Ldeuten- ant Governor Frank W. Higgins change portion before a vote is taken, there is every indication of his nomination by the republican state convention to head the state ticket as candidate for gov ernor. But one name is mentioned in opposition. that of former Lieutenant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff. All talk of a third candidate has been abandoned and tonight the contest lies between these two men. Governor Odell and his friends are outspoken in their advocacy of MT. Higgins. and in ia poll tonight claim to have 7O9 votes assured in his favor.
 United States Senator Platt and MT. \ w OOOA Qtl t1lNOCdlcSa QO 1lOl Dy 6tlY means admit this situation. and state most emphatical1y that they will carry the fight to the floor of the convention Many believe, however, that Mir. Hig- gins will be the unanimous nominee of the convention. The convention will hold only preliminary session tomorrow, so that there are at least thirty-six hours in which an agreement may De reached.
 Senator Platt denied with great arn- phasis a report which was current to the effect that he had admitted the probability of Higgins's nomination, and repeated his belief, many times ex- pressed during the day, that Wood ruff's name would go to the convention. and that he would be nominated. 1 MT. Woodruff, when informed that a. poll. of the delegations had been Issued which showed over 7O9 delegates for Higgins, said that he would not make l a poll and had no time to make one. | T am going into the conventions, he said, land expect to be noninateds Michael J. Dady, who has been one of the most earnest supporters of | Woodruff said: 1T think the governor probably has that many delegates for Higgins. It has made no change in our plans. Mir. Woodruff g name will go be- fore the convention"
 Thus are the lines sharply drawn be- tween the Woodruff and Higgins advo- cates. This situationis the continuation of day of increasing intensity of feel Ing, during which rumors of many kinds have met the incoming delega- ltions

pinerent Tone in yYashlngton.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-The develop ment of the day 50 far as it related to the Russian cruiser Lena at San Francisco was the clearing up of the official muddle arising out of the doubt as to which of the five departments of the government should deal with it. It was finally decided by the president that the state and navy departments should treat the case, acting jointly. decision calculated greatly to slmpli- fy it's handling.
 A telegram from Admiral Goodrich at San Francisco, showed that on his own initiative he had caused one of his ex- pert officers to make preliminary ex- animation of the Lena and that tenn porary repairs would occupy six weeks time and new boilers would involve eight months delay.
 The president approved the admirars $ action and decided that he should corl- tinue to handle the case in San Francis l leo under instructions from the state and navy departments. This involved a further expert examination of the ship. The Russian government did not lobject, at least the Russian consul at San Francisco gave that understanding and within a day or two, with the assistance of expert mechanics from the Union Iron works, Admiral Good rich will be able to report more close i ly on the repairs.
 The admiral also adopted the pre- caution of guarding the Lena with his own vessels, a course also approved by the department
 According to the presidents instruc- tions Acting Secretary Adee for the state department and Captain Pills bury for the navy department had two conferences during the day and the re- suit was the preparation of instructions to Admiral Goodrich, which 1t is un- derstood were first wired to the presi- dent for his approval There is good ground that these instructions con l template the allowance of sufficient I time to the Lena to make temporary repairs. However. there is growing a belief here that the vessel will be l obliged to intern in the end, for 1t is altogether likely that by the time she could be made ready to go to sea orle or more Japanese cruisers would be off the Golden Gate ready to sink ol capture her. Fereseeing such an event as a request for the right to intern, the officials have been considering what

Calling of the Session.

Providence, R. l., Sept 1S.-The effort os Gov. Garvin to obtain three amendments to the state consti- tution, the first to provide for consti- tutional initiative; the second. a mod crate veto power for the governor; and the third, permitting registry voters to vote for city eouncilmen, was frustrat- ed today by the failure of the general assembly to act on any of them. all though there was a spirited debate in both branches. Both branches, how ever, passed a resolution conforming the action of the governor in calling the extra session and calling for an ad- journment until Nov. 15.
 The desires of the governor were em- bodied in a message which was pre- scented to the senate after the call for i the session had been read.
 The resolution condemning the gov [ernor was introduced by Senator Stin- ess, Republican, but the debate was carried on almost entirely by the Dem
 ocratic members, as the governor failed to recognize any of the Republicans.
 Senator stiness was continually on his
 feet raising points of order, all of which were promptly overruled. The resolu- ton was finally adopted.
 The concurrent action of the house 1 on the resolution brought the session to l a close.

Remarkable Interview Given Out D;
 Cortelyou,s Press Bureau.

New York, Sept 1S.The republican press bureau to-day turned it's atten- tion to corsets and gave out an inter- view with Ian executive officer of d corset company. He declares that the American corset had advanced with giant strides under republican rule, that the Belgian and French invaders are now held in check, thinks to the tariff, and that the very life of the American corset depends on the main tenance Of the present tariff schedules. He added naively:
 We now retail at s2.00 and $2.50 corr sets that are equal or superior to those imported, They are superior because they are adopted to American wants. We also can adopt foreign styles when we approve them, but they no longer control the fashion. He concluded, still more naively: When a foreign corset manufacturer visited an American fac- tory and saw the employees he express ed his surprise at their happy faces.

DRANK CONTAMINATED WATER
second Regiment sIen Could Not Resist
 Temptation.

According to stories told by some of the guardsmen in Waterbury who took part in the military manoeuvres at Manassas last week there is much like lihood of typhoid fever breaking out among them. owing to the fact that they drank water from a well that had been declared infected with typhoid fever germs.
 According to one story members of company M of Torrington and a few members Of company G of Waterbury drank from such we'll On the march back to camp after the first battle the men were so thirsty and tired that they would drink almost anything. They came to a well with sign above it de- claring the water unfit for drinking purposes. Nevertheless the Torrington men. according to the story, rushed to it and drank heartily. One member of Co. c, private, is known to have talk en some of the water Just what the result will be is a matter for conjecture.
 &dpldln 4utlit00 O6A- mental assistant surgeon, when asked about the case said there might be some truth in it.
 There were hundreds of such wells around the camp grounds he said. 'Nonths ago government experts an- alyzed the water In many places they found it unfit to drink and in such places they erected signs warning the men to keep away.
 "The men didn't do this, however. An instance of this was afforded when an artesian well in our camp gave out The men went to well which had not been used for years and began drinking out of it and specific orders had to be given to make them stay away. '
 That the men complained about in sufficient water has been known all week. A well known officer said that the best water near the camp was prac- tically unfit to drink, and that most of the water the men used should never have been given to them. Several mem bers of the two local commands are still suffering with lips cracked because they didn't get sufficient water.
