THE JAPANESE MOVEMENTS.
They Are Organizing a New Movement

st. Petersburg, Sept. 21.-The Japa-
nese are deliberately developing an
other extensive movement, their object
being to reach Telling. This time they
are circling to the east. also awaiting
themselves of the Lao Ho, leaving an
Insignificant military force at Lao
Yang, but employing every available
SChinaman to repair and still further
fortify the town.

the Chinese are adopting a sullenly an
tagonistic attitude toward the Rus
slams.
Snow has already fallen in Irkutsk.
AT night the thermometer falls 1 degree
below zero.
The railroad around Lake Raikal will

In court circles it is said that Grand
Duke Nicolafvetch will * command
of a second large army which is being
sent to the front. 1t is formed prin-
cipally of soldiers from the Odessa dis
trict.
Now that 1t is almost certain General
Krropatkin will retire to Hardin, keen
anxiety is felt regarding the attitude of
the Chinese. who are known to be much
elated by the promise of Japan TO give
Manchuria back to them. The COVER
nor of Mukden, who is stated to have
large supplies of arms. has of late bare
~ manifested politeness toward the
Russians. while the Picking government
boasts that Its army is ready to occupy
Manchuria when the province is hand
ed over.

PIN0CHLE FOR A WIFE.
Rival suitors Will Determine Who Win,
Her by a Quiet Game of
100000 Points.

New York. Sept. 21.-Some day this.
week a game of pinochle will be played
IN the prlors of 224 Hudson avenue,
gutenberg, n. j., between two suitors
for the hand of a widow who owns the
house. The widow, who is to abide
Amelia Arkland, who is styled by her
netghbors as fair. fat and forty and
admits h forty. She has been married
three times and weighs 200 pounds
She is worth S25, 900.
One of the suitors is Reinold Van
Blessing. a carpenter. SO years old. He
has been counting the widow for some
time n is II good hand at cards..
The other man is Captain John Tay-
Tor, 43 years old, who has command
Of a tramp steamer. He also is n good
card player. Captain Taylor was we'll
acquainted with the widows last hus-
band, Arkland, who also was captain of
4 tramp steamship.
Mrs. Arkland thinks a good deal of
both men, and was undecided which
to take. Van Blessing had, if any
thing, the better of the contest, as he
was at home near the widow all the
time.
Recently both men have been so
urgent tor the widow to choose be-
tween them that she did not know
what to do. Finally she said she would
let a game of pinochle decide the mat
ter. She said that 100000 points would
be the game.
Mrs. Arkland is a lover of the game.
and is herself no mean player. The
contest, she stipulated, must be played
| n the parlor of her home in the pres
ence of the friends of all concerned.
A referee is to be selected tomorrow
afternoon. who will name the day on
Which the game is to be played.

TO BE BUILT IN 5 YEARS
Americans Are Going to Break Record
in Engineering Work and Finish
Canal in That Time.

Washington, Sept. 22.-Colonel r. NJ.
Harrod. one of the Panama canal COM
missioners, is of the opinion that the
great water way connecting the At
lantic and Pacific oceans will be COM
pleted and thrown open to traffic with
in five years. The Culebra cut. he ac-
knowledged, was the greatest obstacle
in the path of the canal engineers, but
work on that, he said, was progressing
favorably and it's difficulties would be
surmounted. The plans for the entire
canal are now preparing, and as soon
as they are completed work will be
pushed.
Colonel Harrod thinks it will not be
necessary to employ such a large force
of workmen as has beer suggested, no
matter on what scale the operations are
conducted. The a for this is the
more extensive use of labor saving ma
chinery than under the French man
agement. Not more than 5000 men
will, in his opinion, be necessary at any
n time. Only about 700 Jamaica
negroes and native Panamans are now
at work, principally on the great cut
at Culebra, but even with the French
machinery more is accomplished and
at less cost than under the old engf-
neers.
With the modern American ma
chinery, especially the great steam
shovels which have already been or
the progress more rapid. Colonel Har-
rod believes there will be no induce
ment for negroes to go from the United
States. as there will be no demand for
them n h wages paid are not high,
considering h cost Of living.

Contrary to the custom of monkeys,

their necks with collars made from
fruit kernels. They take good care of

FROST DAMAGE SMALL
Weather Bureau Finds That on tn.
Whole Corn Has Been Little
Injured.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22-The weather
bureaus weekly summary OF crop condi-
lions follows:
While weather conditions for the week
ending September ~ Were generally favor
able for gathering crops in nearly all dis
tricts, low temperature in the more north
erly portions have delayed the maturity
of the late crop and some suffering from
drought is reported from the Ohio and
lower Mississippi valleys and portions of
the southern states. Frosts occurred as
far south as Oklahoma and Tennessee
but little or no damage resulted except to
tender vegetation in the central valleys
and to unmatured crops in Wisconsin. the
Dakotas and Montana.
An unusually severe rain and wind
storm caused considerable damage on the
18th and 18th in portions of New England
and the middle Atlantic states. Conditions
generally are favorable in California, but
drought was injurious in Oregon and no
rain fell in Washington.
Late corn is maturing rapidly in the
western portion of the belt, but the crop
is ripening slowly in the eastern and CEN
trail sections. and needs ten to twenty days
of favorable conditions to be safe from
frost.
While damaging frosts occurred in por-
tons of the upper Mississippi valley and a
considerable portion of the crop was dam
aged In Wisconsin and some on the low
lands in parts of Minnesota and Iowa, the
aggregate frost damage in the last named
state was not serious. Cutting is now
general in all sections.
The spring wheat harvest is practically
completed, except in the northern portion
of North Dakota. and threshing is well
advanced in Minnesota and South Dakota
and half done in Washington; it is near
ing completion in Nebraska, but is de-
aged by rain in eastern North Dakota.

VETERANS OF '98 MEET
Letter From President Roosevelt i.
Read at Opening of Their National
Encampment at ST. Louis.

st. Louis. Sept. 21.-The first annual
national encampment of The United
Spanish War Veterans commenced to-
day at the worlds fair grounds. The
following letter was received by Com
mander-in-Chief English from Presi-
dent Roosevelt:
I thank you for your very kind and
thoughtful. invitation. and let me at the
outset congratulate you and the Spanish
war veterans that you are the commander
in-chief. / wish it were in my power to
be present and meet you and my other
comrades of the United Spanish War Vet
Grams. 1t would give me a peculiar pleas
ure to do SO. l would certainly be present
If it were possible for me, at this time, to
go anywhere; and the fact that it is not
possible causes me genuine regret. The
men who in '9S volunteered at their coun-
try's call showed that they had in them
the same spirit that actuate their ia
theirs in 81. The task was easy and need
nations gigantic strength: but the way it
was done showed what the nation could
do il the need were more urgent.
My comradship In the United Spanish
Wa Veterans is something l prize more
highly than 1 can well say, and I wish
God-speed to all at their national en-
campnent. as well as to their comrades
who are unable to attend. Sincerely yours.
Theodore Roosevelt.
Following the reading of President.
R~oosevelt's letter, short addresses were
made by Harold G. McGrew of Indian
apolis. Russell B. Harrison of Indian

TEMPERATURE VARIABLE.
Iowa Crop Report Records the Recon,
. Frost as "kiltino."

ITOSS do NiibIuSs
Des Moines, Ia. Sept. 22.-The report
of the bureau of crops and weather
says:
The week was quite variable in tenn
perature. the daily average being 5 to
4 degrees below normal; but there We're
several days of good ripening weather.
On the morning of the 18th the frost
line was reached, and on the 18th light
to heavy frost visited all districts in
the state. The greatest injury to late
planted corn is reported to have oc-
Cured on the bottom lands of the Iowa
river valley. The killing" effects of
the frost were noted in the low lands,
and limited to tender vegetation and
the blades of the most immature corn
plants. Broadly viewed for the whole
state, the actual damage to the corn
crop by frost does o appear to be Sc
rious, though it Is not possible at pres
ent to determine to what extent the
quality of the frosted portion been
impaired.
Reports indicate that more than half
the crop is now fairly well matured.
and that ten days of favorable weather
will assure the safety of the larger por-
ton of the area planted. In the most
hopeful estimates due allowance has
been made for somewhat more than the
average percentage of soft or unmer-
charitable corn.
Considerable progress has been made
in cutting and shocking the most ad-
vanced fields.
Harvest of potatoes and apples in
progress, fall blowing is well advanced;
pasturage is very good.
