LONDON, Sept 29.-In a dispatch from Mukden General Kuropatkin re ports that Cornet Mikheiff, with a de tachment of Ural Cossacks. attacked the Japanese bivouacked at Khouandi, causing a great panic.
 The same day the, Drenburg CossaclSs laid an ambush for half a squadron ot Japanese cavalry, who returned their fire, but soon retired, having suffered considerable loss and leaving several dead on the fielR
 General Kuropatkin is silent on the subject of the Japanese f1anking move n1ents east and west of Mukden, from which the St. Petersburg war office concludes that Field Marshal .Oyam;i has not yet begun to press his advance from Sanchan or up the Liao river val ley.
 A dispatch from VladivostolS says. that, according to reports from Port Arthur, two Japanese torpedo boats and a Japanese steamer have been sunk by mines near Port Arthur dur ing the last few days.
 A Japanese cruiser of the Niitaka type, it is added, was badly damaged.
 A Chefu report says that the Japa- nese losses in the last assault on Port Arthur, which began Sept. 19, were. 17,0O0.
 The Japanese were unable to remain in the three supplementary forts which they captured, and they retired at o'clock on the afternoon Of Sept. Pc after enduring several days of tremen- dous firing from the inner forts.
 The most severe attacks were made on the supplementary forts of the Itz and Anshu mountain forts. The Rus sians had undermined the ground, and several hundred Japanese were blown up. Reports from the Miaotao islands mention q terrific report which shook the houses there.
 The Russian ships, it is reported, took no part in the battle. The Rus sians are now building a new fort on Liaot promontory.
 A St. Petersburg dispatch says that the situation at Port Arthur is not re- assuring The blockade at last seems to be effective.
 Admiral Togo's ships are arresting all the junl1s which try to enter the harbor and are sending them to Port Dalny. It is feared that this complete isolation may react on the spirits of the garrison.

Genius of Gamond.

Since 8 French engineer named Gamond planned submarine tunnel, Sn 1857, various projects have been advanced for connecting England with the continent. The latest is the sug- gestion of Bunau-Varilla, who wants to build a tunnel 10 within three kilometers of England, and thence a bridge, which England (which has not favored a tunnel) could destroy at any time in case of danger of foreign in- vasion, thus rendering the tunnel use- less.

LAND VICTORY.
Japanese Will Make Extraordinary
Effort Before Arrival of Fleet.

Japanese Will Make Extraordinary
Effort Before Arrival of Fleet.
Berlin, Nov. 2S.-A dispatch to the
Lokal Anzeiger from Mukden under
yesterdays date, says:
1t is believed about headquarters
that the Japanese will make extraor-
binary efforts to win a land victory
before the arrival of the Russian Sec
ond Pacific squadron. The move
ments Of the fleet are reported in
each issue of the army gazette, the
one hundreth number Of which was
printed Sunday.
The paper is circulated throughout
the army, and is the only medium of
news from the outer world. AS soon
as it appears, the privates gather in
groups while one who can do so reads
the whole paper, the soldiers listen
ing. The soldiers are convinced that
the arrival of the second Pacific
squadron will end the war, as they
believe the Japanese will be beaten
on the sea and seek peace.
Severe measures have been taken
against marauders. Several Cos
sacks Of one regiment were sentenced
to death. One was shot in front of
the brigade, while the sentences of
the remaining eleven were commuted
to penal servitude. Discipline gen.
orally is good. Patriarchal relations
exist between the officres and men,
and the former are doing everything
possible for the latter

SKIRM|SHES
JAPANESE ARE PLANNING TO
TAKE THE OFFENSIVE.
ANY MOVEMENT TO THE EASTWARD
VIII Means Serious Fightine-Japa-
nese Have Succeeded in Placing
Several Big Siege Guns in Position
With Which They Are Able to Seri-
ousIy Harrass the Russians.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 2S.-Gen.
Kuropatkin reports that there has
been active skirmishing on the left
flank for three days. The opinion is
now expressed by the general staff
that the Japanese intend taking the
offensive, as they cannot afford to
wait till the Russians are further re-
inforced.
1t is held that the fighting to the
eastward is doubtless with the pur-
pose of feeling out the Russian posi-
tions, preparatory to an advance in
that direction; but, as there are about
1000 Russian troops southwest Of
Sintsinttin, where fighting occurred
on November 26th, and twice as many
more in the mountains of Biatzuputz
and Sintsintin, any Japanese move
from this quarter would entail serious
fighting. At the same time CORE
spondents at the front continue to
scout the idea of serious fighting be-
ing imminent

ARRESTED AT THE GRAVE.
Numbering the Wife and Mother .
Near Agency, Mo.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Nov. 26.-George
Gay and his son, Tester Gay, were ar
rested at the entrance to the cemetery
near Agency, Mo-, on the charge Of
numbering Mrs. George Gay, wife and
mother of the prisoners. The woman's
throat was cut and the father and son
claimed to have found her dead upon
returning from the field for dinner.
Her body had just been inferred when
the sheriff made the arrest.
Both husband and son deny, all
knowledge of the crime and still adhere
to their original story that upon re-
turning from the field they found the
aged womar's body bound hand and
foot, with throat cut from ear to ear,
lifeless upon the floor of their home.
Il expected to be arrested" said the
accused husband. 81 know that there
are those in the community in which
live who think that 1 killed my wife.
1 know that the finger of suspicion has
pointed toward me, but I swear be-
fore God that am innocent"

DISPOSITION OF FORCES.
The Protracted Attack of Tsinkhet-
chen Still Continues.

With the Russian forces at Shen-
king, Nov. 28.-The attack by the
Japanese upon Gen. Rennekampf's
position on November oath resulted
in three days fighting at Is Tsink-
hetchen, near Da Pass. Though the
Japanese have been repulsed, the
fighting still continues The Japa-
nese have succeeded in placing sew
eral big siege guns in position, with
which they are able to seriously har-
rass the Russians.
The latest estimate of the disposi-
tion of the Japanese forces is as fol-
lows:
One brigade of infantry and five
regiments Of cavalry, with a second
line Of one brigade between Bandi-
oza and the Hun River, two divisions
officially between Bandioza and Lin
shineu and Liadiaouza, one division
between LiadiasuZa and ChinsandiZa
and Kosangau, one brigade between
Kosangau and Sunmuga, with a Sec
ond line consisting Of one brigade
and two divisions; one division at
Bepupuza, one brigade occupying the
country southwest of BepupuZa as far
as Chingizi, with one brigade of in
fantry and Of cavalry in the second
line. Behind the main army are one
brigade of infantry stationed at Lioa
Yang one at Yentai and one at Tsink-
hetchen.

MISUNDERSTANDING DRoUTH.
Lack of Rain Has Seriously Affected
Railroads and Other Industries.

Railroads and Other Industries.
Louisville, KY, Nov 2S.-The rec
ord-breaking drouth in Kentucky is
beginning to affect the milk supply
in Louisville. Several dairies have
put their customers on a half allow
ance, and confectioners are unable to
secure enough of the fluid for use in
making certain kinds of candy. A
number of distilleries have suspended
operations until rain falls. In a num-
ber Of small places the citizens are
buying water, and farmers are COM
PEELED in many instances to drive
stock several miles to water.
For more than a month tbS South
ern Railway has been hauling water
to its Shelbyville tanks, and for the
past three weeks it has been hauling
ten car loads of water~a. day. Freight
engines running between Lawrence
burg and Lexington and Lawrence
burg and Burgin are carrying double
water tanks
All the freight engines on the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad have
been carrying two tanks for several
weeks The Cincinnati Southern
Road reports that 1t has closed all its
watering stations between Lexington
and Somerset, a distance of eighty
miles, and the Somerset reservoir is
now running low. Other railroads re-
port the same conditions.
There has been no rain since July
Sd. In many churches yesterday
prayers were offered for rain, and to-
day the weather bureau announces a
possibility of showers within the next
forty-eight hours.

to in some way recognize the mail

and the premiums of Germany, En-
gland and other countries.
Rear Admiral Luce read a letter re-
Gently submitted by him to Secretary
Morton to be laid before the commits
sion in which he referred to the mu-
tual dependence of the merchant ma
rine and the navy. He asserted that
the money paid to foreign carriers Of
products of this country went to en-
rich the countries with which the
United States might some day be at
war, thereby indirectly aiding the
navies of those countries and their
naval reserves at the expense of our
own. He favored subsidies as the
means of building up the merchant ma
rine.

NEW TRIAL FOR NAN PATTERSON
Jury in Murder Trial Was Discharged
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
New York, Nov. 2S.-The Jury in
the Patterson murder trial was dis
charged today, and at the same time
District Attorney Jerome served
notice on Miss PattersOn's counsel
that new jury would be selected
and a retrial begun at the term Of
court which opens one week from to-
day.
The illness of Edward Dressier, a
juror who was stricken with apopleXy
last week, was the cause of today's
action. When the jurors illness was
reported at the opening Of court last
Saturday, Justice Davis ordered an
adjournment until today, hoping that
Dressler would recover sufficiently to
allow continuance of the trial. The
report of the physicians, which was
made at the opening of court today,
that he was in no condition to return
to his duties, left Justice Davis no
alternative but to discharge the jury.
During the forenoon, when it became
almost certain that this action would
be taken, a report went around the
court building that Miss Patterson's
counsel probably would make
strong effort to have the defendant
released on bail. Their acceptance Of
the notice served by the prosecution,
however, seemed to dispose of that
story.
Following the sudden and unex-
pected interruption in the trial, Miss
Patterson is said to be on the verge
of nervous collapse. When the ad-
journment was ordered Saturday she
expressed keen disappointment. She
had been confident, she said, that the
jury would have acquitted her, and
was usre that a few days more would
have seen her freedom

I ennessee State News
Report on Rural Schools.

Report of State Superintendent
of Public instruction Mynders, for
the year ending June 80, 1904, is in
the hands of the printer. 1t con-
tains many valuable statistics, show
ing improvement along educational
lines throughout the State. AS COM
pared with the preceding year, how
ever, a falling off is shown of over
5000 in the white scholastic popu-
lation, due, it is said, to the greater
endeavors after accuracy. Both the

er, showed increases, as follows: {:

492,776. Attendance, 1904, 344,-

ment in the eighth and higher
grades shows an increase of over rs
per cent, the figures being 1908
and 1862. The number of white
schools taught shows a decrease of
400, due to the consolidation Of
weaker schools, but the average
number Of days of school was 103,
as compared with sc for the pre-
vious year. The valuation of school
property is $4,922,531, an increase
of 20 per cent. Average compensa-
ton of teachers has increased from
$3.50 to $500, and the average
cost of tuition per pupil increased
from 81 cents to 80 cents per
month. The above figures apply to
the rural schools, those of cities be-
ing covered in another report.
