st. Petersburg, Sept News OF
the evacuation Of Lao Yang and the
withdrawal of the Russian army to
the right bank Of the Taitse river
reached only a small section of the
people of st. Petersburg at a late
hour and caused intense excitement
and disappointment. The majority
OF the inhabitants retired to rest be

ese attacks had been repeled.
Ugly suspicious, however, have
been rife during the day, owing to
the absence of press kilograms from
Lao Yang, leading TO the belief that
communication had been cut off by
Knroki
The following statement was oh.
tanned by the Associated Press from
the war office at ten o'clock Thurs
day night:
'Kurok's army crossed in force tc
the right bank of the Taitse river
and it therefore became necessary
for the Russians to be in a position
to repel blow in this direction.
In view of this development In tho
operations Kuropatkin decided to alb
andon his positions on the left banl
and concentrate his whole army or
the, other side of the river. This
position is the strongest both in
character and site. The great issue
will be finally decided there.
by withdrawing 10 this position
the Russian army avoids the danger
of being divided by the river and en-
joys the advantage of compactness.

rather as the carrying out of a well
defined idea

"The determined pursuit by thc

when Kuropatkin gave the first or

to their anxiety to keep the Russians

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.

A dispatch from Norfolk says: Col.
Campbell Slemp, who was yesterday
morning elected a delegate-at-large to
the Chicago convention, despite his Wig
orous protests, has announced that he
will not accept the honor conferred upon
him by the majority of the convention,
and it is learned that many of the ex-
ponents of a reorganization of the party
in Virginia will also decline, among
them being Stuart F. Lindsay, of Bris-
tol, and l.. b. Somers, of Washington
county, Mr.. Lindsay being elected an
alternate-at-large and Mr.. Somers an
elector-st-large. Republican leaders
closely allied with the Agnew forces con-
tend that when the Chicago convention
convenes, Col. Slemp and his forces will
be there, despite the deelination to ac-
cept the honor.
AT 2 o'clock yesterday morning, after
the report of the committee on resolutions
had been adopted without ever being pre-
sented to the convention, the report was
presented to the secretary of the conven-
ton BY Chairman G. NJ. LouthaD. The
resolutions reafirmed the allegiance of the
convention to the republican State organ
ization, Endorsed the candidacy of Presi-
dent Roosevelt for the republican nomi-
nation, and Endorsed his Panama policy.
A resolution demanding legislation cal
culated to upbuild the merchant marine
of the United States wasIincluded in the
committees report. The democratic
party in the State is condemned for max
ing aud forcing constitution upon the
people without their consent, and also
for alleged extravagant mismanagement
of the States finances.

WaY to Indict Heath.

An effort will be made to indict Perry
S. Heath, former First Assistant Post
master General and former secretary of
the republican national committee, for
alleged participation in the postal frauds,
if bill now pending in the House is
passed.
Representative Jenkins, of Wisconsin,
who is chairman of the judiciary commit
tee, introduced the bill. 1t provides
that the limitations in criminal cases as
set forth in the revised statutes in section
1914 shall not apply to prosecutions
which may be instituted against officers,
agents or employees OF the United States.
The bill was considered by the House
Judiciary committee and reported favor
ably, with one amendment. The COM
mittee struck out the words "but this act
shall not have the effect to authorize the
prosecution: trial or punishment of any
ofense barred by the provisions Of the
existing laws"
Heath left the Postoffice Department
three years and a half ago. The new
law, ifpassed, will go back five years.
An all day session of the sub-commit-
tee of the House committee on postoffices
and post roads yesterday resulted in the
draft of a report on the Hay resolution
calling for certain information regarding
the use of 'inhuence" by members Of
the House TO obtain increases of salary,
etc., for postmasters.
This report will be submitted to the
full committee tomorrow, when it is ex-
pected the same report will be ordered
referred to the House. The report con-
tains all the information the committee
has obtained from the Postofice De-
partment on the subject If the full
committee takes the action anticipated,
this matter will be printed and made
public.

CONGRESSIONAL

Practically the entire time of the Sen
ate yesterday was given to the considera-
ton of the question of the selection OF a
site for a naval training station on the
Great Lakes and most of the Senators
from the States bordering OH the lakes
participated in the discussion. The
controversy arose over an effort to secure
as an amendment to the committee
amendment a provision authorizing the
appointment of a new commission to Sc
lect q site.
The committee amendment was so
modified as to make it apply to all the
Great Lakes, and not alone to Lake
Michigan, but Mr. Quarles' amendment
was not acted upon, and will be consid-
cred today.
The House had under consideration
the Indian appropriation bill, the read
ing of which for the purpose of amend
ment was pending on adjournment.
During the general debate on the bill
Mr.. Martin, a republican member from
South Dakota, addressed the House on
his resolution directing the Secretary of
Commerce and Labor to investigate the
causes for the differences which exist
between the cost of live cattle and dress
ed beef. He prefaced his statement with
high tribute to Attorney General
Knox and by saying that he was not one
who went into hysteria on hearing the
word trust. But, while this was true, he
believed that a monopoly exists in one
of the big food products which should be
Investigated by the Department of
Commerce and Labor. He asserted that
so far as the rights of the producer and
consumer are concerned they are even
worse than before the injunction was
secured against the beef concerns, and
in support of this statement cited the
experiences Of stockmen in the markets.
He proposed a repeal of the forfeiture
clause in the Sherman antitrust law.
Mr.. Stanley, a democratic member
from Kentucky, made an urgent appeal
for relief at the hands of Congress for
the tobacco growers and the toilers in
the tobacco fields, and complained that
competition had been destroyed by COM
binations of capital. Mr. Hedges,
republican, of Iowa, entertained the
House with a few humorous thrusts
at the '1owa idea," which he opposed,
and some serious remarks on republican
policies.
Mr.. Robinson, democrat, of Indiana,
in closing the general debate on the
Indian bill, declared that a monopoly
exists in the coal business in the Indian
Territory, and expressed the belief that
the subject should be investigated by the
Department of Commerce and Labor.
The controverted features in the Indian
bill went over until today.
The House confirmed the right of Mr.
Sims, democrat, of Tennessee, to his
seat. A republican had contested it.

The Party Craftsmanship.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Richmond News Leaders says: As the
time for the st. Louis convention draws
nearer one hears more and more talk about
who the chairman of the democratic ma
tional committee ought to be, and more
predictions as to whom he will be. 1t is
known that there is at least one active
aspirant for the position, in the person
of Tom Taggart, of Indiana. Both he
and his friends are making as aggressive
a campaign as the circumstances will al
low. There is good deal of feeling that
Taggart is the man who ought to be the
running mate of the presidential nominee
at St Louis, and in the event that he is
made such he will be no longer available
for the craftsmanship
Here in Washington the DRIFT of
opinion seems to be toward Senator
Martin, Virginia's junior Senator. 1t
is noteworthy fact that the Senate of
the United States is fast becoming body
of business men rather than body of
politicians and theorists. And it is also
worthy of mention that Senator Martin
is one of the business men of the Senate.
Toward him mis- colleagues on the
minority side of the Senate are looking
for a successor to James X. Jones.
They point out that he possesses the
executive ability that made Senator
Hanna the greatest campaign manager
of recent political history, and say that
with Senator Martin at the head OF the
organization the old method of dealing
with glittering generalties would no
longer have place at democratic head
quarters, but that things would be
reduced to a system such as would
enable the party managers to do really
effective work in the campaign.
Whether Senator Martin would ac-
cept the position is another question.
If sane policies seems to be the thing
desired by the conven ion, and if the
candidates and the pla form are such, or
promise to be such, hat reasonable
hope of victory Nigh be entertained, it
is known that he wou.d not be ayerse
to taking up the management of the
campaign. But il the opposite were
true, he would more than likely beg to
be excused were the craftsmanship ten
dered him.
1t is known that he could have had
the chairmanship of the democratic con-
gressional committee in the last campaign
had he but said the word. A number Of
the controlling minds of that body went
to him and asked him 10 say that ne
would accept the place, but he said that
it would interfere with other work he
had in hand, and he would like to be
left out oft. Judge Griggs was then
given the place.

Armour's Child Romps.

Chicago, March 5.-Dr. John Rid
Ions assertion that the operation on
Lolita Armour was failure has caused
establishment in medical and social
circles here. 1t has been known that
DR.. Ridlo N, who had performed one
operation on the girl, was opposed to the
operation by the Vienna surgeon. DR..
Ridlon declared his rivals operation was
a failure shortly after it took place. 1t
was not EXPECTED he would persist in
these pessimistic criticisms and make
them anew in New York. ]. Ogden
Armor and Mrs. Armour have invari-
ably said the girl had been almost COM
pletely restored to the use of her crippled
leg. Pictures made since the leg was
taken from the cast have shown Lolita

ing with girl frien DIS.
