LONDON, Fen. 2U.-CompIete stagna-
ton of war news leads the newspapers
this morning to discuss the political
aspects of the struggle in the far east
as they are likely to affect Great Brit
ain. No great Importance is attached
to the stories published In Paris and
elsewhere on the continent Of alleged
intrigues looking to the coalition of
Russia, France and Germany, the be-
lief being that 1t is to the interest of
all the powers to take steps to localize
the struggle. At the same time 1t is
recognized that in all three Of these
countries there is strong feeling
against Great Britain on account of her
alliance with Japan; and, as Germany
and France Joined with Russia in 1885
against Japan, IL would be natural
for Russia to seek similar assistance
in her present difficulties. The argu-
ment is, therefore, made that 1t be-
hooves Great Britain to be prepared
for any and all results. Russian dis
patches to the London Press record
the rapid growth of Anglophobic feel
ing.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Express asserted that after an
Interview of the japanese consul at
Shanghai the captain Of the Russian
gunboat Mandjui consented to disarm
his vessel and to keep 1t in the har-
Dor of Shanghai until the conclusion
of hostilities. This statement, how
ever, is not yet confirmed by other
Shanghai dispatches.
The correspondent at Seoul Of the
Daily Mail reported that 1900 Cos
sacks are crossing the Yalu river into
Korea near Wiju and that Cossack
scouts have already advanced into Ko-
rea as far as Anju.

a handsome composite coach immedi-
ately behind. Both were destroyed.

when this exploded II made an enor-
nous confagratlon. which II was feared
would spread to the town and COM
pletely destroy It, as It has no hre
protection and is mostly of frame
buildings. The fire, however, did not
get beyond the railroad property.
The telegraph poles and wires run
ming through the town were burned
down, severing all communication to

 He told the Governor that the second arrest of a prisoner indicted by the grand jury for compllcity in the lynch ing had been effected without excite ment. The situation at Huntsville, he said, was encouraging. and he did not expect any disorder. Captain Browns report to the Governor was of a grati- flying nature.

Walden of Uniontown, who had been named as a member of the court of inquiry to investigate the con duct of the members of the Huntsville military company on the night of the lynching Captain Walden told the Governor that he was suffering from an injured foot and leg, and he was noi sure tha. he would be able to go tc Huntsvine. Because of his injury. he was forced to forego the trip to Man assas with the Alabama provisional reg iment. although he greatly desired tI go.
 Captain Walden did not tell the Gov ernor definitely that he would be un- able to make the Huntsville trip. but told him that he was in a crippled con dition. Captain Walden will inform the Governor definitely this morning whether he can go or not. In case he Is unable to go, another will be named immediately in his place.

 Colorado Building,


 Washington, Sept. Is. The prevailing opinion in Democrat tic circles in this city today Is that the nomination of Higgins for Governor on the Republican ticket enhanced Demo cratic chances of carrying the Empire State
 This belief is strengthened by the fact that Woodruff came out of the con vention more popular than he went in, on account of his withdrawal, a circum- stance which would tend to show that Woodruffs friends do not intend to give more than a perfunctory support to the machine candidate.
 Discussing the prospects of Demo- cratic success and the effect of Odous triumph. Chairman Cowherd of the Democratic Congressional Committee said today:
 Wearing Odell's tag will just about queer the Republican nominee for Gov ernor of New York
 We feel no doubt whatever of the result. The Democrats are sure to cnr- ry New York anyway, and the action of this last convention is going to strengthen our chances all the more. Odell may have shown the strength of his control of the machine, but outside of that he didn't improve his standing. We are not at all disappointed over the result of the convention"
