report persists, although there is MOTH
ing official to confirm it. that Gen
Kuropatl1in has recommended the trial
by court of Maj. Gen. Orloff,
upon whose failure to carry out his or
ders the non-success of Gen. Kuropat-
kin's plans against Gen. Kuroki at the
most critical hour of the battle of Lao
Yang is attributed.
According to a statement made by a
parsonage connected with the Emper-
or's surrounding, Kuropatkin had as
sured his majesty of his ability to ac-
cept battle and defeat the Japanese at
Lao Yang, and for this reason the EN-
peror's disappointment is all the more
keen and his dissatisfaction at the out
come all the greater.

HIGGINS FOR GOVERNOR.
Probable That Republicans VIII
Nominate Him.


Nominate Hsm.
Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 13.-Unless
the forces behind the candidacy of
Lieut.. Gov. Frank w. Higgins change
position before a vote is taken, there is
every indication of his nomination by
the Republican State Convention to
head the state ticket as candidate for
Governor. But one name is mentioned
in opposition, that of former Lieut.
Gov. Timothy l.. Woodruff. All talk
of a third candidate has been abandon
ed and tonight the contest lies be-
tween these two men. Gov. Odell and
his friends are outspoken in their adj
vocacy of Mr.. Higgins, and in poll
issued tonight claim to have 709 votes
assured in his favor. The convention $
total vote is 974.
Senator Platt and Mr.. Woodruff s
advocates do not by any means admit
this situation, and state most emphati-
cally that they will carry the fight to
the floor of the convention. Many be-
lieve, however. that Mr.. Higgins will
be the unanimous nominee of the con-
vention.
Gov. Odell. chairman of the Repub-
lican State Committee, said Tonight:
THE sentiment of the convention seems
to be in favor of the nomination of
Lieut. Gov. Higgins for Governor, and
think he will be nominated"
The lines are sharply drawn between
the Woodruff and Higgins advocates.
This situation is the elimination of a
day of increasing intensity of feeling,
during which rumors of many kinds
have met the incoming delegations.

BELIEVED THE LENA

Ger Instructions from Collector of the
Port Stratton, Capt. ]. K. Bulger,
United States inspector of hulls and
boilers, to-day inspected the boilers of
the Russian transport Lena. 1t is I'M
derstood that he found them in need
of repairs and recommended that the
commander of the vessel be given time
enough to put them in seaworthy con-
dition. Collector Stratton Immediately
reported to Washington the observa-
tions of the inspector, giving them his
official approval.
The impression prevails among those
best informed that the Lena will be
dismantled and remain here until the
end of the war She is still guarded
by several vessels of the United States
navy.

AMERICAN BANKERS GATHERING
FOR CONVENTION IN NEW YORK
The Trust Company Section Holds Its PreIim

New York, Sept. 13.-Several hundred
bankers from all sections of the coun-
try composing the trust company sec
ton of the American Bankers Asso-
citation, met in annual convention here
to-day. The convention of the asso-
citation proper will open tomorrow and
continued for three days.
The section was called to order bv
Chairman r. w. Breckenridge Jones.
and George w. Young, president of the
Trust Companies Association, of New
York, gave the address of welcome.
The report of the section read by James
r. Branch, secretary of the American
Bankers Association, showed that UP
to Sept 1 there had been an increase
of 113 members during the past year.
F. P. Fries, president of the Wacho-

ston Salem, N. c., delivered an address
on "ConServat ism."
The proceedings of the savings bank
section opened with an address by the
chairman, A. c. futile, treasurer of
the Naugatuck Savings Bank, Nausa-

New Orleans under the leadership of
the distinguished gentleman since be-
come Governor of Ohio. But, like Mi

the first year, the membership of this

Always Thinking of Danger.
ut is probable that bankers always
think more of the dangers, real or i'm
aginary, than the opportunity of their
position. The scepters of dishonesty
and inefficiency beset our path at every
turn. Our dreams are perhaps a pos
sible government savings banks.
Dishonesty and inefficiency, how
ever, do not concern us as an organ
ization For while we may rightly
take measures to make dishonesty more
difficult and integrity more easy and
to increase the efficiency of banks in
transacting business with one another,
these matters concern individual bank
ers. To be sure dishonesty is dishon-
esty everywhere, but as regards eff

with the locality.

St. Petersburg, Sept. IA, 3:15 a. M
The continued delay in the receipt here
of anything like a detailed official ac-
count either of the battle of Lao Yang
or of the present situation at the front
is proving more irritating to the pub
lie of St. Petersburg than any previ-
Gus phase of the war, and has given
rise to numerous alarmist stories of
the alleged preearious situation Of
Gen. Kuropatkn's army. None of
these stories. however, is traceable to
any authentic source.
The fact seems to be that military
operations in the neighborhood of Muk-
den are almost suspended on account
OF the effect of the rains upon the
roads.
There is no current news to record,

To Avoid sunstroke.

A wise person writes that a few
hints as to how to avoid sunstroke
may not be amiss at this season even
though we may have passed the trop,
ical point.
Ones object must be to protect the
central nervous system from the solal
rays. Now, a hat protects the brain.
but many a fatal case of sunstroke
has resulted from the fact that the
spinal cord is almost as vulnerable.
The back of the neck should be pro-
tected. In India a double layer Of
cloth is often inserted along the mid
die line of the Jacket behind. Young
women who button their shirt waists
at the back. take notice! A double
row Of buttons may prevent sunstroke.
