A FORECAST OF

most nremediable.
Japanese Forces Seen Northeast
Of Mukden That Town in
Grave Danger.

Special to The Journal.
Paris, May 18.-Figaro says
that the czar has received from
General Kuropatkin dispatch
giving a gloomy forecast Of what
is likely to happen in the immedi-
ate future. General Kuropatkin
tells the czar that it is almost i'm
possible to remedy by the con-
centration Of troops the strategic
mistakes that have been COM
mitted.
A month ago General Kuropat-
kin sent a message to the car,
from Mukden, saying that every
thing was in chaos. Since that
time the conditions have grown
much worse, owing to the defeat
on the Yalu and to the semi
decentralization Of the Russian
forces.

.BURKETT TO GET
DIETRICH'S PLACE
Nebraska Republican Convention
Meets Without Any Slate
Being Fixed

Lincoln. Neb., May 1s.-The nomi-.
nation Of a senator is an innovation in
Nebraska state conventions, but there
will be no contest, it being conceded
that Representative q. J. Burkett Of
the First Nebraska district will be
named without opposition by the re-
publican state convention to succeed
Charles e. Dietrich.
Conferences between friends OF
candidates for state offices lasted thru
the night, but no agreements were
reached, and on everything save sena-
tor, governor, treasurer and attorney
general, the republicans Of Nebraska
went into convention at. 2 o'clock to-
day without hint as to probable re-
suits.
The most vigorous contest was over
the office Of secretary of state. The
attendance was one Of the largest in
the history Of the state. Chairman
Balbpidge called the convention to
order.

Fargo, N. D., May 18.-The repub-
1tcan state delegate convention was
Gale dto order this forenoon by
Chairman Hanna of the state central
committee. Nearly all Of the 500
delegates were in their seats. Just as
Mr.. Hanna called to order a big cur
tain was dropped on the back Of the
stage, showing a picture Of President
Roosevelt on horseback as a cowboy
as the central piece and a. San Juan
hill scene on the other side. The
audience went wild and the demon
stration was remarkably enthusiastic.
Bishop Cameron Mann of the Epfs-
copal church invoked the divine bless
ing and State Senator La Moure Of
Pembina was selected as temporary
chairman, with M. III. Jewell as tenn
porary secretary.
After the appointment Of the COM
mittees a recess was taken.
The executive committee seated the
"reorganizeFs'' In Ward county and
turned down Major Murphy's faction
by vote Of % to eight. The P. j.
Lyons faction In Kidder county was
seated.
The decision is thought by some to
end Murphys political career In
Ward county Both decisions have
some bearing on the Gubernatorian
race as the reorganizers In Ward were
pronounced for Sarles while Murphy
was for white and in Kidder Lyons is
a strong Sarles man.

DEADLOCK IN ILLINOIS
Candidates Remain Firm CoTven-
ton Takes Recess After Balloting.

Springfield, ILL.,, May 1s.-R Restless
ness was on the increase to-day among
the delegates to the republican state
convention. Many announced an in
tention Of going home, leaving a few
of their associates to vote their re-
spective delegations.
In the rank and file there was
growing inclination for recess Of
thirty days, but none Of the candi-
dates favors such a course.
All night Governor Yates and his
campaign committee remained at
work. comforting alternately with the
Deneen and the Lowden leaders. It
is stated to-day that nothing had been
accomplished.
Neither Yates, Deneen nor Lowden
is willing to concede that his chances
are less promising than those of rivals.
Chairman Cannon called the con-
vention to order, and the thirty ninth
ballot was substantially the same as
the last ballot yesterday.
The forty-f1rst ballot, as officially
announced, was as follows: Yates,
484; Lowden, 800; Deneen, 433; Ham
lin, III; Warner, Al; Sherman, q;
Pierce, 81.
A recess was taken until o'clock.
Several delegates shouted Make it

"STANDPATTERS"
HAVE LONG END
Iowa Factions Counseled to Fight
Shy Of the Tariff Delegates
Elected.

Des Moines. Iowa, May 18.-Every
seat in the auditorium was occupied
to-day when Chairman Spence of the
state committee raped for order in
the republican state convention to Sc
lect delegates for the national con-
vention. In the boxes were Secretary
Shaw, Senator Allison, Senator Dolli-
yer and IoWa's delegation in the lower
house of congress.
The one theme for discussion among
the delegates was the wording Of the
resolution upon the tariff. The issue
Of the campaign preceding the con-
vention had been whether the tariff
should be revised and as to a declara-
ton for Canadian reciprocity. The
"standpatters' having control Of the
convention, their leaders proceeded to
define their wishes regarding the
wording of the plank under discussion.
Irwin's "Pat" Speech.
John M. Irwin, temporary chair
man, said:
Let us make no platform on the tariff
question beyond announcing our ale
glance to the principle of tariff for pro-
lection. Let US raise no ghosts from past
conventions and platforms Of the party,
but let us quietly and decently ask that
in the mellow richness of the present the
dead past shall bury its dead. Let us
leave the tariff plank to the wise men Of
| the republican party when it meets in ma
tiohal convention, where all needs will be
considered and all interests heard.
| Democracy claims that the tariff Is the
mother of trusts. By the same token the
women are the mothers Of measles. The
mothers of the land have children and the
| children have the measles.
| Kill all the Industries of the land and
you will surely kill all the trusts and
abolish all the mothers Of the land and
you viii just as surely abolish all the
measles. r...
The republican man Of to-day Is well.
He is exceedingly and exasperatingly well.
Why, then, the need to give him pills?

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, May 18.-Secre-
tary Shaw delivered an address before
the Polk County Republican club last
night on. the subject Of the tariff and
reciprocity. Congressman Hepburn
and Smith also spoke.
Secretary Shaw declared that Nc
Kinley's utterances on reciprocity had
been misconstrued by some of the re-
formers in the republican party, and
that 1t is impossible to take them to
mean free trade with Canada or any
other nation. Competitive products
must be protected.
He said Canada would consent to
no such arrangement on competitive
products. He was not sure it would
be harmful to the United States, were
such reciprocity possible and prac-
ticable, but he said it was an impos-
sibility; that Canada realizes the adj
vantages Of protection.
He defended the tariff on iron and
steel, which had been assailed by Gov
ernor Cummins, tho he was not pre-
pared to say it should never be re-
4vised. His address ,,as taken as sound

COST OF LIVING
IS MUCH HIGHER
Carol D. Wright Makes Interest
ing Comparisons Covering the
Past Decade.

Washington, May 1S.-Carroll D.
Wright, commissioner Of the bureau
of labor of the department of COM
merce and labor, who Is one of the
recognized statisticians of the world,
has undertaken in a bulletin, which
has just been issued, to throw light on
the question of the increased cost
Of living in 1903 over the preceding
thirteen years.
Wright has made his comparisons
with wholesale figures since they are
regarded as the more substantial basis
and his report includes ESQ series of
quotations, covering farm products,
food and clothing, fuel and lighting,
metals, implements, lumber and build
ing materials, drugs and chemicals,
house furnishings, and miscellaneous
goods.
In making his report the statistician
adopted the method pursued by all
leading authorities of the world, and
in comparing prices for 1903 with
the preceding thirteen years to the
average price for that period. He
places this average price always at
100. The difference between 100
shows the decrease or increase in cost
for 1908.
All Commodities Higher.
The first table SHOWS the average
relative prices Of all commodities
higher in 1908 than at any time since
and including 1890. Farm products
reached the lowest average in 1896
and the highest in 1902. Cloths and
clothing were the lowest in 1897 and
the highest in 1890. Fuel and light
ing were the lowest in 1894 and the
highest in 1908. Metals and imple-
ments were the lowest in 1898 and the
highest in 1900. Lumber and build
ing materials were the lowest in 1897
and the highest in 1898.
Raw commodities and manufac-
tured commodities have been separ.
ated for further examination. In the
group designated as raw" are includ.
ed all farm products, beans, coffee
eggs, milk, rice, nutmegs, pepper, tea
vegetables, raw silk, wool, coal, crude
petroleum, copper ingots, pig lead, pig
iron, bar silver, spelter, pig tin, brim.
stone, jute and rubber, a total OF
| fifty articles. The average price of al
| these commodities during January ant
February 1908 was 33 per cent above
the average price the preceding ter
years. The average price for the veal
was 22.7 per cent higher than for thu
same period the preceding years.
Manufactured commodities have ad

NORTHEAST OF MuKDEN
japanese Forces There Place Kuro-
patldn in Grave Danger.

egram received from Toxic, two Jap
anese divisions have arrived near
Mukden with the object of cutting
General Kuropatkin's line of retreat
northward.
London, May 1s.-That General Ku-
ropatkfn's position is one Of danger is
the inference drawn from the news
that a Japanese force has appeared
thirty miles to the northeast Of Muk-
den, which is considered the strategic
center Of southern Manchuria, since
upon it all roads converge.
The Japanese, by gaining a position
we'll to the Russian flank and rear.
threaten the Russian force at Lao
yang with development, and their ap-
pearance at this point, in the view Of
the Daily Mails expert, must compel
instant retreat from Liao-yang unless
General Kuropatkin is prepared to
meet the fate that overlook Marshal
MacMahon at Sedan, and to be shut in
by the converging move Of the Japan
csc from the southeast and northeast.
Everything from the Russian point
Of view depends on whether he knew
Of this movement and already has
taken steps to remove all his baggage
and the bulk of his forces from Lao
yang.
According to the Standards Tien-
tsin correspondent, General Kuropat-
kin has left for Hardin, Viceroy Alex
Jeff still being at Liao-yang with TO-
900 troops.

 to Secure Quick Action.

Huntsville. Oct. 2S.-(Special. )-- Before Judge Jones left here, counsel for two of the defendants in the Ma pies lynching case applied to Judge Jones for writ of habeas corpus, on the ground that the prisoners held under the indictment for the murder of Naples were restrained of their liber- ty contrary to the constitution and laws of the United States, and that the court was without Jurisdiction to try the oirense.
 The matter was submitted on the return of the marshal. showing the in- dictments under which the defendants were held. Juge Jones discharged the writ and ordered the prisoners return ed to the custody of the marshall
 Counsel for the prisoners prayed an appeal, which was allowed, to the pres ent term of the Supreme Court of the United States. the case being one in which an appeal lies directly to 1t, as 1t involves a question of Jurisdiction of the court and of construction of the constitution of the United States.
 Judge Jones also agreed with the counsel to certify the question to the Supreme Court. and he and District Attorney Roulhac stated that they would request the Attorney General to advance the hearing. If that is done, the case will probably be decid- ed in three of four months.
