vantage and drew away, keeping lead.
The Nettie followed close, however

GEORGIA TREASURY ALL RIGHT.
Plenty OF Cash for Any Demands, Says
Governor Terrell.


Georgia's treasury is all right and
has plenty of money to meet any legal
demands that may be made upon IT.
declares Governor Terrell and the
treasury officials, publications to the
contrary notwithstanding
There is now in the state treasury
something over $4,000, of which
100000 belongs to the sinking fund,
leaving an available balance of some
thing more than $4,000 for general
purposes.
In addition to this every state insti-
tuition and department that has asked
for it's money for October and which
had money in its particular fund, has
already received it, Governor Terrell
says.
The report that there was no money
in the treasury grew out of an effort
on the part of the prison commission
to secure its monthly allowance Of S.
610 and the refusal of Governor Ter
rel to sign a warrant for it..
There appears to be difference of
opinion between the governor and the
prison officials as to whether this
amount is now available,

JAPS ARE OUTFLANKED.
For Once Russians Seem to Be Max
ING Successful Moves ana are
Taking the Offensive.

A ST. Petersburg dispatch Under
MONDAYS date says: General Kuropat-
kin's order of the day announcing his
discrimination to take the offensive is
supplemented by the news that an OF
fensive movement has already begun
and that the Japanese line has broken
at Bentsiaputze.
The Japanese occupied a front OF
about 81 miles, stretching from Benz
siaputze on the east through Yental
and across the railway to the banks OF
the Hun river on the west. The Rus
sian force has been moving south in
close touch with the japanese advance
since October 4. The Japanese OUT
posts were driven back in a series OF
skirmishes, and on October 6 the Rus
SLAMS reoccupied the station of Shakhe
is miles south of Mukden, the rail
way battalion restoring the bridge
across the Shake river the next day
in order to facilitate the advance.
Meanwhile General Mistchenko's Cos
sacks moved southwest as far as the
Yentai mines, defeating the Japanese
in a series of warm skirmishes. The
most important action. however, occur
red on the japanese right at Bentsia-
putze. Here the Japanese held a
strong and important position, but 1t
seems they made the inexplieable
omission to fortify commanding hill
which was the key TO the whole situa-
ton. A portion of General Kuropat-
kin's force made a strong attack on
Bentsiaputze and, taking a leaf out OF
the japanese book, occupied the hill
from the east and fanked the Jap
anese out of town, causing a serious
loss in a rear guard fight The Rus
sian casualties are reported to have
been inconsiderable.
While these operations are progress
ing south of Mukden, it is reported
that two Japanese divisions, under
General Fugi, are marching west up
the Lao river and are now % miles
south of Sinmintin.
General KurokI is expected to make
, similar movement eastward.
A dispatch from Mukden says: A
crossing of the Taitse river east of
Bensihu by Russian cavalry shows
that the japanese are retiring on their
position at Lfao-Yang and in The nest
of hills east Of Yentai, as though they
were still desiring a decisive action
near Lao Yang.
The inactivity of the japanese is not
unusual. 1t recalls their retirement
from the vicinity of Kai-Chou before
the battle of Vafangow. 1t also recalls
General Kuroki's strategy throughout
the firing line in Molten pass.
