MURDERS IN MONROE
WEALTHY COTTON PLANTER WAY LAID AND AssAssINATED.
J. s. Candee of Clarke County Killed Andrew Moore Negro, Also
 Is Shot to Death-His Slayer Apprehended.

Monroeville. Sept. S-(SpeciaD-J. g.. Candee. a wealthy cotton planter, was wayland and murdered near Mount Pleasant yesterday morning. So far no clue has been obtained as to the Identity of the assassin, but the people have been aroused by the crime, and no effort will be spared to apprehend the guilty person. So far as known MT. Candee had no enemies who sought his life. His plantation is in Clarke County. and the murder occur red in Monroe County while he was en route to his home. MT. Candeo was wealthy and had long been prom inent in this section. In years gone by he was leader in Republican poli- tics, and had been Sheriff of Wilcox. as well as having represented that County in the Legislature.
 Wade Moore, colored, was also way laid and murdered yesterday, by Andrew Rogers. also a negro. Rogers was captured and hurried to the Coun- ty jail at Monroeville by Deputy Sher- if Steele, as there was fear that a lynching might be attempted. Moore. the murdered negro. had many friends among the whites. Several years ago he aided in locating and capturing Wyatt Late, a noted outlaw who killed Sheriff Foster of this County.

Eence of opinion as to minor questions and differences of view as to the cor rectness of the disposition of dead is- sues should be found. The party Is concededly united today as to every vital article of faith which can reason- ably enter into the pending canvass.
 Our adversaries are entrenched. in full possession of every department Of the government. and it Is a mistaken who would help to oust them. The cause cannot be advanced by attacks on others within the party with whom we have had disagreements, but who are now working with us for a com mon result.
 All men who have attained any de- gree of prominence have their friends and the exercise of ordinary prudence forbids the alienation of allies who are willing and anxious to assist. The coming election Is not to be deter mined by the September vote in hope lessly Republican states where local issues and candidates even are griev- ously handicapped, but the result in Vermont on Tuesday admoHishes us and there can be no harm in giving voice to the admonition, that harmo- nious cooperation of all and the elim- ination of personal factiona1 and un- important dlHerences involving no surrender of principle. are essential to success."
 Close Attention Given.
 Judge Parker's speech was listened to with the closest attention by the edi |. tors. few of whom had ever heard him speak. Judge Parker read most of his speech and made no departure from the written text He read with great care and deliberatiqn. using few or no ges- lures. The editors frequently applaud ed and several times broke into cheers and laughter at the speakers attacks upon the Republican administration.
 The highest pitch of enthusiasm was reached toward the close when he dep recated the attacks on other within the party. Cries of good: that's right" and the like broke from various parts of the audience and for several mo- ments the speaker had to wait for quiet.

The Japanese Board the Novik, But
 Later Retire..
 St. Petersburg. Sept S.-Lientenant General Liaopounon, military governor of the island of Sakhalin, fin a despatch to the emperor dated yesterday. has transmitted the report of the com mander of the garrison of Korsakovsk on the visit of Japanese vessels to that place Tuesday as follows:
 At 6 a. m. the smoke of steamers was observed at sea and troops were prepared for action. The Japanese transports of 5000 tons each anchored eight versts out and two launches were lowered and proceeded to the Novik.
 At 10:45 the order was given to fire volleys at the Japanese on board the Novik and in the launches. This firing was so successful thnt the deck of the Novik was cleared and the launches returned to the transports. The enc my returned the Russian fire but no damage was done. At 12:45 p. m. the transports put to sea-
 The commander of the garrison went on board the Novik and found a num- Der of rifles and some wires connected with mines. The wires were cut and mines in different parts of the ship were removed.

STRIKE IS CALLED OFF
BUTCHERS LEADER ADMITS COM-
 PLETE DEFEAT.
In Order to Save the Union from Dis- ruptiOn. President Obtains Per-
 mission to End the Struggle.

Chicago, Sept S.-The strike of the butcher workmen, which has been on for the las two months was officially declared off tonight by President Mi chael Donnelly of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of America.
 This morning MT Donnelly tele- graphed the members of the national executive committee asking thetr con sent to an announcement of the end of the struggle and tonight, having received favorable answers from all, he declared that the strike of the mem bers of his organization would end at midnight
 The strike of the members of the affiliated unions at the stock yards who quit work in sympathy with the butch CTS will be officially called of tomor- row morning at a meeting of the con ference board of the allied trades. This was decided on at a meeting of the central body of the allied trades tonight.
 Donnelly said his men were defeat ed and in order to save his union from disruption he would order his men to return to work in the morning, no mat ter what course might be taken by other unions As the other unions had had no grievance of theit own, but had gone on strike to aid tie butchers. there was nothing left for the them to do but follow the lead of Donnelly and they too decided to call of the strike so far as they were concerned.
 When the packers were advised to- night that 1t had been detided to end the strike. they announced that they would give places as far as possible to the skilled Workmen, but it was saio at the same time that many of these men would be unable to secure their old places, as in many cafes the work was being performed in q satisfactory manner by men who had been secured since the commencement tf the strike. It is expected that the majority of the unskilled men will be unable to secure their places again. It wis the ques- ton of a wage scale for this class of men that brought about tie strike, the packers refusing to sign an agreement with any class other than killed work men.
 During the strike approximately 53.- 900 persons have been intolved in the struggle which is estimated to have cost the men about $5,000. 600 in wages. as against an estimated loss of $7,50O,- 900 to the packers in loss of business and in increased expenses The great est number of men idle fin Chicago since the strike was 26. 500. and the total Tn the country outside of this city Is es- timated to be about the same. The original cause of the strike was a demand by the butcherS union that the packers pay the unskiled workmen llsl-2 cents an hour. The packers re- fused an agreement, but dfered to ar- ! bitrate the question.

THE ANsIlER | TO ,AA0YANG Two More Army Corps Organizing. ARMY TO BE DIVIDED KaulbarS and Linevitch Will

ARMY TO BE DIVIDED

St. Petersburg. Sept. 9.-(2:15 a. m )-Besides the formation of two fresh army corps, as the first answer to the Japanese success at Liaoyans the Russian army at the front will be reorganized, probably in the form of two armies. in command of General Linevitch and General Baron Kaui- bars, repectively. with General kuro- patkin as commander in chief.
 General Kaulbars will go out with the two army corps now organizing in the governments of Kazan. Odessa. Wilma and Kief. General Linevftch has been ordered by telegraph from vladi- vostok to Mukden.
 This decision Is due in part. doubt less. to the growing unwieldiness of the big force of General Kuropatkin's command which will be largely in- creased by constant endorsements.
 Kuropatlxin Breaking Down.
 General Kuropatkin heretofore has handled every detail of the vast or ganization. The work is too much for one man, and he Is now almost broken down under the strain. It is known that the Czar Is personally one of Ku- ropatkin's strong supporters. and 1t is thought that the General will, in all probability, retain chief command of the two armies. Kuropatkin. howcv- CT. has been adversely criticized by some of the Czar's close military ad- visers, and 1t is possible that he may eventually be superseded.
 There is little information from the front tonight. A dispatch from Muk- den. bearing Thursdays date, repeats the story of bad roads. which have hampered the transport and intimates that there is an interesting movement towards Tie pass. but the nature of this movement Is not disclosed.
 It is understood that the Czars in- spection of the Baltic fleet at Cron- stadt today is the last he will make and that the fleet when 1t leaves Libau will proceed to the Far East.

JAPs's STRENGTH REMARKABLE.
After Tremendous Losses New Troops
 Are at Hand.


 St. Petersburg, Sept S.-A Russian correspondent of the Associated Press in a graphic description of the fight ing at Liaoyang, says:
 Only the Russian soldiers tradition al splendid qualities enabled them to support the terrible conditions, of which the lack of sleep was the most unbearable. The Japanese availed themselves to the utmost of rain and darkness and did not cease fighting, their night attacks testing Russian en- durance severely. The Japanese suf- fered terribly, but made light of their losses. They continually drafted fresh reserves into the ranks to replace the worn out men.
 Indeed the numerical superiority of tho Japanese Is astounding and incom- prehensible, for after losing enough men at Port Arthur and elsewhere to form a perfect army, their effective strength appears only to increase and they still are concentrating fresh bodies of troops on the Lfao River
 The battlefield was perfect he'll . General Stakelberg was wounded, but despising death, he remained immov- able at his post throughout the day, re- gardless of the rain of shot around him. Several officers of his staff were killed or wounded. In the evening General Stakelberg informed General Iuropatkin that he could hold the po- sition or take the offensive If neces- sary.
 Among the incidents of the day was the slaughter of two Japanese battal- Ions. which were pursued through the Chinese corn and grain to Saitsea. and surrounded by the Russians They resolutely refused to accept quarter. preferring death.
 In another part of the field the Jap anese shelled and captured by assault one of the Russian trenches. only to find too late. as 1t had been abandoned by the Russians and occupied by corpses of their comrades. They fell on the prostrate bodies and flooded them with tears.
 In one case a party of Japanese ofi- cers fou, Ndy of their men retiring |, dIsorA rove them back to the battleheld\ Noint of the sword.
