Russian Forces Were Preparing to En.
 gage Each Other.

Mukden, May 15.-CDelayed in trans mission)--Iieutenan Colonel Schuyler. U. s. A.. military observer with the Russian army, left for Liao Yang in the afternoon.
 It appears that Capt William B. Jud- son of the United States Engineer Corps, who is an observer with the Rus sian army. helped to avert a clash be- tween parties of Russians during the Russian reoccupation of the railroad after the Japanese had cut 1t at Po- landien.
 When the Japanese had temporarily retired from the railroad, a train with two companies of sappers was sent south from Liao Yang. Captain Jud- son was aboard. When the train reached a break in the line a body of troops was seen, and they were sup posed to be Japanese.
 Sharpshooters were thrown out and preparations were made to swoop down on the enemy. Captain Judson. through his glasses recognized the Russian uni forms and the troops proved to be party sent up the line from the south.

 1t appears from signs today that the chairmanship for the Republican Nation- al Committee will go to George Bruce Cortelyou. Secretary for the Department of Commerce and Labor.
 Efforts have been made to obtain the service of prominent men of political ex- perience and financial influence without satisfactory results.
