Double Murder.

Fayette county, w. Va, is excited
over a double murder, which occurred
yesterday, following the murder of Con-
stable w. A. Jackson by Policeman
Will Elliott, of Montgomery, late We'd
nesday night. On that night in quarrel
between the two officers, Jackson was
shot and killed. Harvey Jackson, a
brother of w. A. Jackson, and two
other brothers armed themselves and
started out to ''clean up the entire po-
lice force Of the town, which is a small
hamlet near Fayette.
A telephone message was sent to Sher-
iff Daniels, of Fayette county, to proceed
TO Montgomery at once, as blOOdshed
was certain. Daniels reached Montgom-
cry at 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
Just as he stepped from the train he saw
Harvey jackson lounging around the
station not mole than fifty feet away.
Without drawing his revolver, the sheriff
walked over to Jackson, and, placing
his hand on Jackson shoulder, told him
to leave the town under penalty of be-
ing arr; ted. Jackson, without word,
fred twice point blank at the sheriff,
each bullet taking effect. The sheriff
dropped to the ground, dying instantly
john Rolf, a prominent citizen OF the
town, was standing near by, and had wit
ssed the talk between Daniels and Jack
son. Throwing up his hands, he advanc'
ed toward Jackson to demonstrate VILE
him to help Daniels. jackson turned
and shot Rolf dead. Then, reloading
his revolver and pulling another from
his pocket, be brandished them Ill the
air and de6ed any one in the town tC

SAYS RUSSIA is BEATEN.
French Writer Advises the BeIliger-
entS to End the War.

PARIS, Sept. 13.-The Journals
Liaoyang correspondent, having rid
den to Tientsin, sends thence the fol-
lowing uncensored dispatch, under
date of September II:
The first part of the campaign may
be considered lost. The Russian army
has retreated northward. in the direc-
ton of Tie Pass, or further. The Rus
sian army's inferiority in men, guns
and enthusiasm prevented Kuropat-
.kin's resisting longer at Liaoyang or
wouldp have obliged the Japanese TO
fall back. The Japanese will shortly
triumphantly enter Mukden.
THE Russian general staff now esti-
mates the Japanese forces at from
100000 to 100000.
The Russian army will reconcen-
trate in the north, but it needs sew
eral months in order to fill up the
losses in a number of corps which
must be doubled, and to replace the
reservists with active troops. Above
all, 1t is essential to restore the morale.
affected by almost unprecedented
trials and difficulties.
"A Russian offensive movement will
be impossible for a long time. Should
Russia be determined to continue the
effort it might still vanquish, but at
cost wholly disproportionate to the re-
suits. AS an impartial witness, 1 am
convinced that it would be to the best
interests of the belligerents to sink
national pride. and, by mutual conces-
sions, end war which otherwise will
ruin both"

WILD RUMoRs IN RUSSIA.
One Report Is That Linevitch Is to
Succeed KurOpatIin.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 13, 2 a. m
With the lull in military operations
and an almost entire suspension of dis
patches from the front, st. Petersburg
has again fallen back upon rumors.
Countless stories are afloat regarding
the Russian defeat at Liaoyang, some
of which are absolutely absurd. OF
first Importance is the revival of the
rumor of Viceroy Alexieff's resignation,
based probably upon differences said
to exist between him and General Ku-
ropatkin and others in authority in
the Far East. OF next Importance is
the rumor that General Kuropatkin is
to be superseded, Lieutenant General
Linevitch being named as the most
probable successor. This is supposed
to rest upon the Emperors displeasure
with Kuropatlxins generalship at Lii
aoyang and the general dissatisfaction
with the course of events at the front.
Many other rumors are probably the
outgrowth Of jealousy, chickering's and
irresponsible criticism of the defeat at
Liaoyang, but none is traceable to an
authoritative source. Nevertheless, in
a country where the will of one man is
the supreme law, sudden changes of
the most grave Importance are always
possible. Neither Alexieff's nor Kuro-
patkin's friends, however, seem to at
tach great Importance to the stories in
VolVing them.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 12.-Gen-
eral StoessePs message of thanks to
the Emperor in return for the Cross
of st. George of the third degree Is
published this morning, having occu-
pied six days in reaching this country.
Apropos of this message, a friend of
the heroic commander of Port Ar
thur tells the following rather sensa-
tional story:
After deliberation of the highest au
thority of the land the decision was
reached that it was useless to hold
Port Arthur except for the value of
the warships there. : Accordingly an
imperial order was given to the Port
Arthur fleet to go out to battle and
Admiral Withoeft, with his dying
breath, during the sea battle off Port
Arthur, ordered that on no account
should the fleet return to that har-
Dor.
This accomplished and Russian
honor having been fully vindicated by
it's gallant defense, the garrison was
to give up the fort in order TO save
further useless loss of life. This hu-
name intention was frustrated by Ad-
miral Oukhtomsky's defiance of in
structions when he returned with the
shattered fleet to Port Arthur.
Once again the fleet is to go out, inn
mediately afterward the ships unfit
to go to sea are to be blown up and
then General Stoessel, who has been
decorated with the highest order for
bravery, will be instructed TO surren-
der the fortress

Looting of Liaoyang
Has Few Parallels
in War Annals.

L1AOYANG, Sept. 8, via Tientsin,
Sept. 12.-The looting of Liaoyang has
few parallels in the annals of warfare.
Three armies on three different days
had possession of the city and engaged
in acts of depreciation.
When the Russians entered into the
occupation of Liaoyang they built a
model Russian city outside the old
walled Chinese city, and thousands
of troops were lodged within its gates.
When the Japanese drove the Russians
out of the Shansampo Hills the Rus
sian soldiers realized that the town
must fall and forgot all discipline. They
looted the town, sparing neither Chi
nese nor European shops, destroying 6
what they could not carry away. They
wantonly destroyed great quantities of
foodstuffs and other goods, ripping open
bales, bags and boxes with the ever
ready bayonet and scattering the con-
tents over the streets. Much liquor was
found, and the soldiers, becoming
drunk, committed further excesses.
During the interim between the de-
parture of the Russians and the ar
rival of the Japanese the Chinese SOL
diers and police finished the work the
Russians began, pillaging the shops
that were not found by the Russians.
Then when the Japanese came they
completed the looting. They had been
fighting for five days without food ex-
cept dry rice, and broke loose upon en-
tering the town. The Japanese looted
right and left. The shops having al
ready suffered, the Japanese turned
their attention to the private houses.
They wanted food principally, but over
looked nothing.
This was the first time in this war
that the Japanese were guilty of looting
a captured city, and their officers were
much disturbed by the outbreak. When
order was restored the Japanese SOL
diers were taken out of the walled city
.and now are not allowed inside without
a special pass.
of supplies. Food in the Chinese city
is very scarce.

LONDON. Sept. 13.-In a dispatch
to the Daily Telegraph the corre-
spondent of the paper in the field with
General Kuroki says:
THE Russians made a very poor
stand on the heights beyond the Tai
tse River. At Anping extensive
trenches had been dug on the cliffs
overlooking the river opposite and
above the town. but the first few shells
from the Japanese batteries sent the
enemy flying. L was amazed to see Of
ficers leading the way in the headlong
flight across the hill and down into
the valley behind. The officers were
easily distinguishable in the forefront
of the crowd of fugitives.
The correspondent graphically de-
scribeS the fighting for possession of a
hill at Heiyingtai (about fifteen miles
northeast of Liaoyang), the key of the
Russian position and upon the seiZ-
ure of which deDended the success of
General Kurokis flank movement, and
describes the terrible punishment the
japanese sustained in capturing it.
After the capture there was a double
night attack. the Japanese trying to
capture a battery that had annoyed
them during the day and the Russians
seeking to recapture Heiyingtai.
Neither desperate venture succeed
ed. The Russians were repeatedly
near gaining the summit, but were
swept away each time by Japanese
bayonets and bullets. On the other
side the Japanese attack on the Rus
sian battery was defeated by electrical
devices the Russians had arranged,
giving them the exact position of the
assaulting party. The brave Japan
csc were moved in swaths in front of
the Russian guns. one battalion being
annihilated. Visiting the hillside af-
terward, it was almost impossible to
avoid stepping into pools of blood. The
field was Uttered with broken weapons
and the grimmest of all these were
hundreds Of broken or twisted bay
onets."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The ex-
pected protest by Japan against al
lowing the Russian auxiliary cruiser
Lena, which arrived at San Francisco
yesterday, to remain longer than TWEEN
ty-four hours. came to-day, when the
japanese Consul in that city, through
the Collector of Customs, made formal
demand that the vessel be re-
Quired to leave at the end of the pc
riod named.
The Collectors telegram officially
notifying the authorities of the arrival
Of the Lena and of Japan's protest,
was addressed to the Secretary of the
Treasury, who at once sent copies to
Acting Secretary of State Adee and to
Acting Secretary Murray of the De-
partment Of Commerce and Labor,
which also has jurisdiction in the mat
ter. Collector Stratton's telegram
reads as follows:
japanese Consul has made demand upon me
that the Russian auxiliary cruiser Lena. arriv-
ing at this port on the 18th inst, leave within
twenty-four hours. The captain reports that
he has entered for repairs Of engines and
boilers. principally the latter. am request

After a conference with the Commits
sioner of Navigation, Acting Secretary
Murray sent the following dispatch to
the Collector:

instructions to Collectors that, should
any case arise requiring official action,

The Collectors telegram came after
Office hours and the commissioners
were somewhat puzzled that there was
so much delay in sending It, There was
a great deal OF reticence on the sub
ject on the part of the Department of
Commerce and the Bureau of Naviga-

BATTLE ONE MONTH HENCE.
Japan's Preparations for Attack VIII
Occupy Several Weeks.

LIAOYANG, Sunday, September IL.
The japanese are greatly disap-
pointed at the failure of their plan to
crush the Russians at Liaoyang. They
are now pushing reinforcements and
supplies northward in every manner
possible, using boats on the Lao
River and its tributaries, while all the
roads leading into Liaoyang are filed
with native wheelbarrows and other
conveyances carrying grain and am
munition into the Chinese city, where
Field Marshal Oyama, the Japanese
commander-in-chie has established
his headquarters. There is every indi-
cation, therefore, that the Japanese
intend to force, If possible. decisive
battle with the Russians, and 1t is
probable that this engagement will
take place some distance north OF
Mukden.
In the past the Japanese have de-
clared their belief that the Russians
were using dumdum bullets, basing
their contention on the vicious wounds
made by the bullets when they struck
and they now consider that they have
proved their case by the fact that
they found dumdum ammunition in
the field at Liaoyang. This evidence is
not considered conclusive. however
1t is now reported upon good au-
thority that in some of the assaults by
the Japanese upon the Russian
trenches surrounding Liaoyang on
September 1 and 2 the attackers. at
some places, lost in killed or wounded
80 per cent of the numbers engaged.
1t is believed that the japanese
forces will remain stationary at Lao
yang for one month.
