very possible that there was consid-
cradle muscular action. There was
a great deal Of hemorrhage. The
conclusion expended on the front
portions of the brain-which was
great-to the same extent lessened
the conclusion on the vital portion.
Ny opinion in this case is that life

maybe not more tnan one-but if
it existed for Is seconds it would
give opportunity for considerable
muscular action. Witness here

in this case is that there was very

Life (of Krause) might have contin-

Cross-examination There was

A Second Russian Army.

Acting upon the advice of his military
advisers, Emperor Nicholas has decided to
form second Manchurian army. 1t will
be formed of the corps which are being sent
to the far East, and Lieut.-Gen. Linevitch
probably will be given the command Of
the second army. Gen. Kuropatkin will be-
come chief of both armies, but probably
without the title of Chief.
1t Is this impending reorganization which
seems to have led to the countless rumors
and reports afioat here of Kuropatkn's
suppression of Viceroy Alexieff as Com
mander-i Chief of the army, the latter's
resignation, etc., but Investigations indi-
cate that the above is the real situation.
The Associated Press is informed that
Alexief will continue to be Viceroy, and
that as such he could not be subordinate
in title to the Commanding General which
would happen if Kuropatkin was given the
title of Chief. Nevertheless,
it is stated. Kuropatkin will virtually be in
complete, untrammeled command.
As has been heretofore stated on high
authority, the stories Of Alexieffs inter-
ference with Kuropatkin are entirely with
out foundation. On the contrary, Alexieff
has always shown the utmost appreciation
OF the peculiar delicacy of his position as
kuropatkln's superior, studously avoiding
even the semblance of interference with
the operations Of the Manchurian army.
GUARD OFFICERS CALLED.
There is a story afoat that a sudden
call has been issued to officers of the guard
regiments stationed at st. Petersburg to
report for service at the front According
to report, the order directs that eight ont Of
total of So officers of each regiment
should be chosen by lot and drafted to serve
with regiments now in the far East. 1t is
stated that the order has aroused great
discomfort. Whole regiments are anxious
to go to the theater of war, but the officers
intensely dislike the prospect of the organi-
cations being split up.

the other men who were inside the fort
agree in saying that the first men who

found We were coming in, they retreated
round the big traverse and fought those
trying to enter the river half of the fort,
and were fired on while doing that by our
men, who mounted the traverse and shot
at them from its top.
The idea of the movement against Fort
Harrison seems to have been either to so
take the enemy by surprise as to enable
US to reach Richmond by the north bank
Of the James, or to cause such a with

pose the movement as to materially assist

OTHER MOVEMENTS.
The movement of the Tenth Corps to-
ward the New Market road amounted to
nothing, although there were some 10000
men there, and the attack on Fort Gil
mer failed disastrously because those who
undertook it made successive charges with
small numbers. regiment or two at
time, instead of massing a sufficient force
to walk over it. Whatever was the in
tentiOn of this movement to the north bank
of the James, its result was simply to place
us in possession of Fort Harrison, from
which we extended lines north and south,
and to oblige the rebs to make q new line
connecting Fort Gilmer and Chaffin's
Bluff. and partial new line from the same
fort toward the New Market road.
On the Both of September Gen. Lee
brought Hoke's Division and other troops
in front of Fort Harrison. across the open
rear of which breastwork had been
thrown up on the night of the 18th, and
five brigades made two desperate charges,
from both of which they were driven back
with frightful slaughter, losing 1000 men.
GEN STANDARDS GRIT.
The Adjutant-G General of our brigade,
who was there, told me that when we
halted at the edge Of the wood and saw
Fort Harrison standing on it's hill three
quarters of a mile off, Gen. Ord, after
looking at it through his glass, turned to
Stannard and said:
General, that is too strong for us. We
must wait for the other division"
ooh. blazes! General. My division can
take that fort" Stannard replied.
Every well. then" said Ord; 'go ahead"
He went ahead. and the fort remained in
our possession from that time to the end
of the war.

Public Feeling in japan.

An increasing feeling of sobriety and
seriousness marks the attitude toward the
war. 1t is doubtful that the masses APP
preciated in the beginning the seriousness
of the task of expelling Russia from Man
churia. They had an easy confidence in
the ability of the army and navy TO re-
duce the fortress of Port Arthur, destroy
the Russian fleet, and crush Gen. kuro-
patkin. @ -. y
The prolongation of the siege, the losses
before Port Arthur. and Gen. -Kuropatkin's
escape at Mao-Yang have brought gem
eral appreciation of the magnitude of the
national task and dissipated the growing
hopes of an early peace, based on the con-
fdence of sweeping victories. Events at
Port Arthur and Liao-Yang have impress
lively warned the japanese people to pre-
pare for a long and trying war Conf
dence in the final outcome, however, re-
mains mistaken, and the nation has reso-
lutely and determinediy settled down, pre-
pared to make sacrifices and pay the price
that success demands.

nearest Mukden. and their progress will
