When Clark began his reply he
said but a few words until he began
a vicious attack on Gov. Taylor.

Bill Taylof-Gov. VIM. L Taylor.

Taylor a murderer and said he
ought to be hung, and if be was
hung as he ought to be he would
be in at the hanging. This TRADE
was vigorously Kissed. "You ad.

Fer the moment great excite

did his cause no good and left his
opponent in full possession Of the
field. Lands had decidedly the
best of the argument and the SEN

ASKS VIEWS
FROM HAY
British Officials Will Consult the
American Secretary AS
To COntraband.
United States and English GOV.
ernmentS Continue to
Act ldentically.

London, Sept. 22-Before making
further representations to Russia re-
specting the character of the goods in
cluded in the list of absolutely con-
traband of war the British govern
ment proposes to ascertain the views
of Secretary Hay in order that the
two governments may continue to act
identically in the matter. Mr.. Hays
note, the contents of which we're
known and thoroughly approved by
the foreign office, calls forth flattering
comments from all quarters. The
press is especially complimentary, the
st. James Gazette calling it "a re-
markable specimen of that directness
which habitually characterizes the
government at Washington in dealing
with other governments and that ca
pacity for plain speaking-however
disconcerting it may be to the tradi-
tional habits of diplomacy-on which
might be cultivated to advantage by
Downing street, for it rarely fails to
produce effects which are not always
the result from suaviter in modo."
The Westminster Gazette describes
the note as very firm and pointed
declaration, adding:
Happily Russia had given way as
regards food. But it is quite as i'm
portant that the doctrine should be
made sure in the case of such articles
as cotton

BOTH ARMIES NOW RESTL D
IMPRESSION GROWING AT Tox.o
THAT GREAT BATTLE is I'M
MlNENT AT MUKDEN.

Toxic, Sept. 22.-An impression is
growing generally that an engagement
will soon take place at Mukden. Gen
eral Kuropatkin is evidently preparing
to make determined resistance 10
any attempt to dispOssess him ana is
entrenching and constructing defenses.
He has an immense force available,
but the opinion is expressed that Tie
pass would be more favorable loca-
ton for defense. The Russians, how
ever, are unwilling to suffer the loss
Of prestige which would be involved
by the abandonment Of Mukden Both
armies are now rested and have recov-
cred from the effects of the fight at
LiaOyang. They are in condition to
fight and the weather is favorable for
military operations. The roads are
drying and the Japanese are speedily
restoring the railway. A party of mil
itary attaches who recently came to
Liaoyang from Toxic were dragged
for 100 miles in open trucks by coolies.
The army is now forwarding rolling
stock with captured cars and engines
and the service will soon be thor.
oughly organized.
With the Lao river open the task
OF transporting men and supplies to
the advanced base of operations at
Liaoyang is simple.
There is much speculation now as
to the extent Of the fall and winter
campaign. 1t is generally thought that
Field Marshal Oyama will continue
pressing Kuropatlin back until the
winter falls and will then strongly
guard his advance line until spring
The Japanese carried on an aggressive
campaign against the Chinese during
the winter, but conditions are differ
ent in this war.
A renewal of the attack upon Port
Arthur on newer and more aggressive
lines is expected this week and it is
predicted in well informed quarters
that the reduction of that fortress will
be accomplished within ten days or a
fortnight.
The authorities continue silent con-
cerning operations there The publ
cation of small list of casualties in

Russians Repulse a Small Force OF
JaDaneSe,

st. Petersburg, Sept. 22.-General
Kuropatkin, telegraphing under Tues
days date, declares that the situation
at the front is unchanged. He de-
scribes an outpost fight Tuesday at
Da pass, half way between Bentsiap-
utze and Sintsintin. A Japanese force,
consisting Of four companies, marched
up from Dziantchan, twenty-three
miles northeast Of Saimadzi and tried
to capture the pass and turn the Rus
sian left flank, but the Russians re-
pulsed the attack and the turning
movement was checked by Russian
cavalry, supported by machine guns.
The receipt of the news at Toxic of
the march Of the Japanese from Dzi-
antchaE was the probable origin of the
rumor that Kuroki had crossed the
Hun river, which runs twenty miles
north Of Da pass.
The most reliable information does
not indicate the resumption of the Jap
anese offensive for some days.

Japanese are feeling out the strength

KING PETER CROWNED.
Coronation of Servian Monarch Occurs
at Belgrade.


Belgrade, Servia, Sept. 22.-Peter
Karageorgevitch was crowned king Of
Servia during the day. There was no
hostile demonstrations and no attempt
to carry out the numerous threats
against the new kings life. In the
solemn ritual Of the Greek church and
in the elaborate state procession which
preceded and followed the coronation
the tragedy of Servia's previous ruler
found no echo. Amid the thunder of
the saluting guns from the royal pal
ace and the garrison King AleXander's S
murder was at least outWardly for
gotten.
Here and in every garrison town in
Servia the dawn of day was marked
by salute of twentyone guns and
before the sun was well up King Peter,
on horseback. rode out from the pal
ace. The brilliant procession then
started for the cathedral through the
troop lined streets. Behind the sol
diers were packed dense crowds who,
in spite of the rainy weather, stood
patiently awaiting to see the king.
Beside King Peter rode his two sons,
George and Alexander. The cathedral
was reached shortly after o'clock
There the representatives of the for
eign powers, the cabinet ministers and
others had already been waiting for
some time. AS King Peter entered
the metropolitan consecrated him and
more artillery salutes were fired. The
king then took his position under a
canopy and the metropolitan, assisted
by many bishops and other clergy,
commenced the solemn service, the
choir singing "Thank Thee, Our Lord y
After the prayer the premier and other
ministers handed the crown and re.
gala to King Peter He kissed the
crown, placed it on his head and robed
himself in the royal garments. An ar

COTTON STRIKE MAY END.
Manufacturers Buying Large QUAINT
ties of Raw Material.

Fall River, Mass, Sept. 22.-An in
timation of a settlement of the strike
in the cotton mills in this city, which
was begun on July 25, came during
the day, when it became known that
one of the manufacturers had bought a
large quantity Of raw material to be
delivered the latter part of October
and that other manufacturers were
trying to place similar orders. 1t is
the general belief that any settlement
of the strike within the next two or
three weeks would be in favor of the
operatives. The strikers still express
their determination not to return tC
work under the wage reduction of 12h
per cent, which was the cause of the
strike.

BRITISH OFFICIALS SILENT.
Decline to Discuss Russian Protest
Against Tibetan Treaty.

Against Tibetan Treaty.
London, Sept. 22.-The foreign office
here declines to discuss the Russian
communication respecting the Tibetan
treaty. Russia is seeking to establish
whether the published version of the
treaty is correct and if SO she will
lodge formal protest at the British
foreign Office, as announced from St.
Petersburg Tuesday, and energetically
object to it's ratification and recogni-
ton by other powers.
1t is claimed by the British foreign
Office that it is essential that Great
Britain should have guarantee for the
faithful performance by Tibet of the
obligations incurred as a result of the
expedition and it is again asserted
that the permanent occupation of Tibet
is not intended. The Russian inquiry
thus far has not been supported in any
quarter. Germany has no interest in
Tibet, SO it is said at the German en-
bassy here, and it is not expected that
she will take any action in the matter.
