ing the Moslem faith and the expul-
sion of native Mohammedans.'
This mission is considered impor-
tant, as the Mohammedan chlefs
unite in appealing to Raisul not &c
endanger their religious supremacy IN
Morocco. The French government
relies much upon this appeal to MO
hammedan sentiment.

MORE SHIPS FOR RUSSIA
Five Armored Cruisers Said to Have
Been Ordered.

London, June 2.-The Morning
Posts correspondent in Vienna learns
that the Stabilimento Teonico, at
Trieste, has engaged to deliver five
armored cruisers to Russia, the first
two within year, the others subse-
uuently at intervals of two months.
Commenting on the report, the
Vienna correspondent Of the Times
says 1t Is argued that the building Of
the cruisers will not constitute a
breach Of neutrality on the part Of
Austria, since their guns and amnu-
milton will be shipped in Russian
ports.
If the contract for building the ves-
sells is signed, 1t will involve the sum
Of s12,500,000.

WAS IT MURDER
BY HIGHW MEN?
Robert Grady Found Unconscious
Under Second Avenue Via
duct-Dies Soon After.

Robert Grady, 525 Summer street
ME, aged 80, was found under the
vfaduot at Second avenue and Second
street NE, unconscious at a. m. to-
day and was taken to the city hospi-
tai, where he died at SIS. His father
thinks that he was slugged by high
waymen and thrown over the bridge,
as all his money was gone.
Grady was employed by the Nation
al Stock Food company and was paid
last Tuesday. When he left home
last night he had about $40 In cash,
but when picked up this morning
3 there was not cent in his clothing.
Coroner U. G. Williams is investi-
eating the case. He has found that
the young mans coat and hat were
left on the bridge, and this Is the
only thing that causes him to hest
tate in pronouncing 1t a murder. Of
ficers think that Grady may have
fought with his assailants and taken
off his coat at that time.
Grady left his home last evening
and told his father that he was go
ing to see his best girl. He was in
good spirits and there Is no reason
to believe that he would commit sui
eide.

FUGITIVE SHOT
AT Fl. SMELLING
RIDES THRU THE
JAPANESE LINES
Russian Officer Gets Away With
Important Information From
Port Arthur.

Mukden, Wednesday, June Ode
layed in transmission -Lieutenan
Colonel Gourgo has driven here from
Port Arthur after safely crossing the
Japanese lines.
St. Petersburg, June 2, 1888 p. NJ
Lieutenant Colonel Gourko, who sue
ceeded in eluding the Japanese on the
Liao-tung peninsula and reaching the
Russian headquarters is attached to
the staff of General Fock and was the
bearer Of important information re-
garding the fighting at Kin-chau and
the situation at Port Arthur.
A long dispatch is now being deci-
phered at the war office. It probably
contains the intelligence brought by
Lieutenant Solonel Gourko and it is
believed a portion Of it will be given
out tonight.
According to information in possess
sion of the general staff, the enemy
corps, about $4,000 men, on the Lao
tung peninsula and at least seven d.
visions and seven reserve corps, or
about $4,000 men, in southern Man
churia.
Altho the impression prevailed
among the members Of the general
staff that General Kurokis purpose
Kuropatkin from moving, but not to
attack him until the result of the
campaign against Port Arthur is de-
termined, there is now apparently
more inclination to believe he will try
a demonstration in force which might
result in decisive engagement.
The Japanese commander is con.
stantly shifting his columns back anG
forth to conceal his real purposes, the
latest reports received being that hi
has again abandoned Saimatsza, north

Kuropatkin's headquarters from tn
