RECEIVED WITH SATISFACTION
Russian Press Praises Plan for Reor-
uanization of Army.


st. Petersburg, Sept. 27.-The reor-
ganiZation of RussiaS forces in the Far
East by the appointment of General
Grippenberg to command the second
army has been received with much
satisfaction by the press. Even the
Novoe Vremya, which has been urging
the promotion of General kuropatkin
to the rank of commander-in-chief,
recognizes the impossibility OF confid-
Ing the vast host now TO be assembled
to the commander OF the forces ac-
tually in the field. Other papers warm
ly endorse the motives for the forma-
ton of the second army and the evil
dent determination to prosecute the
war with increased vigor. The Sviet,
whose editor, Nj. Kamaroff, formerly
was a colonel in the army and there
fore peculiarly fitted to appreciate the
significance of the new departure,
says:
"Hitherto General Kuropatkin has
been chief of all the land forces in the
Far East. Although enjoying the full
est independence as matter OF fact
he was appointed in the character OF
the viceroy's assistant Nevertheless
all the responsibility was his. Now
he will share it with General Grippen-
berg and both will - under the guild
ance of commandA in-chief."
The name of Grand Duke Nicholas
Nicholaevitch, inspector general OF
cavalry, early in the war was on ev-
erybody's lips as likely to be made
commander-in-chief and it continues
to be reported that he will be placed
In command of the Russian forces in

FRESH TROOPS ARRIVING
REASON FOR LONG DELAY IN THE
JAPANESE ADVANCE ON
MUkDEN.

st. Petersburg. Sept. 27.-The cause
of the extreme deliberation in the
Japanese advance on Mukden is ex'
planned by dispatch received from
General kuropatkin, which indicates
that Field Marshal Oyama has not yet
concentrated his forces. Fresh troops
are constantly arriving at Bentsia-
putze, while others which recently
reached Ilaoyang are marching up the
Taitse river to Sianchan.- These rein
forcements presumably come from
Japan. AS soon as the fourth Japan
ese army at Slanchan is sufficiently
strong, il is now evident, the Japanese
intena 10 resort TO their favorite flank
ing tactics. move a formidable array
against kuropatkin's left and compel
the evacuation OF Sintsintin. They are
evidently reconnoitering the ground
over which the Sianchan army will
march up and cross the river. Mean
while General Kuroli is trying To
seize and cross the Hun river far east
OF Mukden. Thence he will move dowI
the river and cooperate with the
fourth army from Sianchan, while
Generals Oku and Nodzu engage Kn-
ropatkins attention south OF Mukden.
The attacks on Da pass and Saniungku
Sept 20 were the first symptoms OF
this vast thanking movement.
huIopaIkln now reports that Japan
ese scouts have been encountered near
the Hun liver, half way to Mukden,
trying 10 seize kaoutou pass, ten miles
northeast OF Rentsiaputze, in order
to clear the way to Fushun, and that
Oku's and Nodzu's outposts have been
engaged in skirmishing with Cos
sacks near lnpu, between Bentsia-
putze and the railroad.

SWEEPING CHANGES EXPECTED.
New Minister of Interior Given Ova-

ST. Petersburg. Sept. 27.-Interior
Minister Prince SviatOpOlk- Mirsky' S
reception here upon his arrival from
Wilma was In the nature OF an ovation,
both at the railroad station and at the
ministry of the interior. A great deal
is expected Of him by the public and
the newspapers.
The hope of much genuine accom-
plishment is based on the knowledge
that the prince comes into power en-
joying to a peculiar degree the conf
dence of the emperor. Sweeping
changes in the ministry of the interior
are anticipated. Little OF the Won
Plehve regime is expected to survive.
The police department, 1t is under
stood, will be entirely separated from
the interior ministry and Count Shou-
valoff, the former prefect of police OF
Odessa, will become chief of the inde-
pendent department. M. Sturmer.
the under secretary OF the interior,
who was Won Plehve's chief assistant,
has already been promoted out OF the
ministry to the council Of the empire.

CATARRH OF LUNGS.
Is Generally the Result of a Neglected
Cold-Pe-ru-na Cures Coughs,
Colds and Catarrh.

n ATARRH of the lungs is, ordina-
rily, known as consumption; also
called tuberculosis. In these cases
the catarrh has usually found its way
into the lungs by the gradual extension
of the disease from the throat through
the bronchial tubes. Consumption is
the natural termination of all cases of
neglected chronic catarrh. Every one
who is afflicted with chronic catarrh is
liable to be attacked with consumption
at any time. In the first stages of the
disease Peruna is a sure cure; in the
later stages of the disease Peruna can
be relied upon to produce great benefit,
and in a large per cent. of cases pro-
duce a permanent cure. All those at
hicted with this dread disease should
begin at once treatment with Peruna.
A slight cough, which, without a YES
tige of doubt. would soon disappear
with the use of Peruna, becomes chron-
ic bronchitis, which requires persist
ent use of Peruna for some time. Thefe
are a great many cases of consumption
every year due directly to neglect OF
coughs. colds, ETC., which, If Peruna
had been kept in the house ana used
according to directions, would nave
