ENTIRE RUSSIAN ARMY MAY BE
COMPELLED TO RETREAT
TO THE MORTHWARD.
JAPANESE ARE PRESSING FORWARD
THREATEN kuRoPATkiN's FORCE
AND ALSO HIS LINES OF
COMM UNiCATlON.

st. Petersburg, July 30.-Since the
Russian retreat from Tatchekiao and
the taking of Newchwang by the Jap
anese the feeling here has grown sud-
denly more pessimistic. With the
Japanese able to get around General
Kuropatkin's right from Newchwang.
with their forces pressing in upon Hal
cheng from the east and a Japanese
column threatening the Russian COM
munications above Liaoyang the with
drawal of the entire Russian army
northward may be absolutely neces-
sary. In this connection the orders is
sued TO the foreign war correspond
ents to go to Harbin, as well as the
report from Vladivostok that Viceroy
Aleyieff is going there, are highly sig
nificant, as indicating that General
Kuropatkin may have already decided
that his present position is untenable.
The temper of the soldiers at the
front over these continued retrograde
movements Is shown by the state
ments of two Russian correspondents
with General Herschelmann, who re-
port in identical language that the
soldiers are tired of retreating," and
the statement of another Russian cor
respondent who says "our men retired
from Tatchekiao with heavy hearts.
Still another correspondent says:
1--WE are all wonderstruck at the
strategy and genius of General ku'
roki Everything he plans is executed
with clockwork regularity. although
he has no railroad and must march
his men over mountain roads"
Perhaps the rain, which again seems
to have begun, this time in earnest,
may save General Kuropatkins posi-

MANY OFFICIALS ON LIST
ASSASSiNS OF MINISTER Won
PLEHvE PLANNED WHOLE
SALE MURDER.

St. Petersburg, July 3O.-The CORE
spondent of the Associated Press
learns that while the identity and ma
tionality of the assassin OF Minister
Won Plehve and his accomplice are
still not definitely established the po-
lice are making progress In unraVef
ing the skein. They are amazed 10
find how farreaching was the con-
spiracy. The documents found snow
the existence OF wholesale plot "
murder ministers. but the most re-
markable feature is that 1t did not IN
clude the emperor, who Is dlstlhcliy
declared to be 'uninvolyed.
The capture of the accomplice OF
the murderer was effected under clr-
cumstances showing that the con-
spirators pursued the very plan toi-
lowed at the time of the ASSASSINATION
of Alexander ii. The accompllces
were then posted at several street
corners in order that Ii one failed an
other might succeed The same plan
was adopted in this case. The accom-
plice. who is now under arrest, stood
near the Baltic depot ready to throw
a second bomb In case the assassin
stationed half mile higher up the
canal mad failed.
The assassin was examined by an
investigating magistrate and refused
to make any statement.
The post mortem examination OF the
remains of Won Plehve shows that his
death was instantaneous. The entire
lower part OF his face was destroyed
and the upper part was shockingiy
furrowed by bomb splinters. The
ears were torn off, there was gaping
wound in his breast, his left shoulder
was mangled, his left arm was broken
off between the wrist and the elbow
and his legs were broken.

|, 7, ROPER
Is Dead After a Long
Illness.

Lyman T. Roper, son of Mrs. Mary
E. Roper, of this city, died at 3:15 Sat
urday morning at the residence of his
mother, 1917 North Cleveland avenue,
of heart failure with complications. He
had been suffering for long time with

while living in New York City. His
health became so bad that about four
weeks ago his brother. George A. Ro-
per, went to New York City to bring
him to Canton. But the change in To-
cation did not improve him any. He
gradually grew worse until death re-
lieved him of his suffering.
The deceased was about 40 years of
age, and was unmarried. He was born
and Frankfort, suburb of. Philadel-
phia, Pa, and came to Canton with his
parents in the year 1868. He was edu-
Gated in Canton, but left this city In
1856, going to Cleveland where he re-
mained for short time. From Cleve-
land he went to New York City, where
he has resided for the last 1S years.
The funeral will take place from his
mothers residence in North Cleveland
avenue just beyond the city limits on
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The
services will be at the house and the
Rev. DR.. Holmes will officiate. Tle
interment will be at Westlawn ceme-
terry. The friends of the family are
