The significance of a Mukden dis
patch noting an unusual activity in
that place is the subject of much spec
ulation at St. petersburg. The theory
that it indicates the purpose of Gener-
al Kuropatkin TO ~evacuate the town is
not generally accepted, military officers
there surmising that the connection
noted is in connection with a movement
to check a Japanese fianking operation.
in Russian official circles credence is
given to the rumor that Admiral Wren
has left Port Arthur with his fleet-the
severe storm on Tuesday being regard
ed as having made such a dash posi-

of the convention of the Daughters of

Mrs. n. V. Randolph, of Richmond,

use Of the term "civil war and sug-

would be War of the States"
The resolution, as finally adopted,
provides for the scholarship and a

Florence. s. c.. October 6.-There
was quite a surprise sprung on the
employees Of the Atlantic Coast Line
shops at this place this afternoon.
Master Mechanic David NJ. Pearsali.
under instructions from the officials at
Wilmington, laid off quite a largs
number of the employees under in
definite suspension. 1t is authoritive-
ly stated that the number laid off will
amount to at least twenty per cent.
Of the force employed in the
shops here. and embraces all of ths
departments. The notice came like
a thunderboIt from q clear sky. a
much as the order is effective this
date.
There is no cause assigned for the
suspension of so large a number of
men at this particular time. and it
seems strange hat an order of this
kind be issued. as the Coast Line is
now and has been doing the heaviest
business in all departments than at
any time in h history of the COM
pany.
OF course AR. Pearsall is not blam-
ed for the suspension, but it does
hard for the higher officials of
the system to issue an order that sus-
ponds SO many men on a moments
notice. many OF whom have families
dependent upon them for support.
The result is that all of them will have
to move away to other places In order
to secure employment.

POWERS SHOULD DlSARM

International Peace Congress Fayors
q Gradual Reduction Of the Naval
and Military Armaments OF the
Powers-Andrew Carnegie Suggests
a Plan OF Universal Peace-General
Miles Makes q SpeAch.
Miles Makes q Speach.

Boston, Mass, Oct. 6.-The arrest and
subsequent reduction Of military and
naval ornaments throughout the world
was called for today at the session Of
the international peace congress whe2
resolutions were adopted expressing
the opinion hat h first task which
the worlds new convention suggested
by President Roosevelt should take u
was the gradual disarmament OF the
powers.
The thanks OF the congress were ex-
tended 10 President Roosevelt for his
pledge TO take the first steps towards
a convocation of a new International
peace conclave.
The most pronounced forensic and
o~ratorical moment which the congress
yet has seen came when a Boston DEL
egate, Charles F. Dole, proposed to
amend the disarmament resolution by
a declaration that no necessity for the
United states to view with suspicion
the powers of Europe and that, there
fore. 1t was quite unnecessary Cor
America, with the purpose of enforcing
the Monroe Doctrine, to build up sucn
an immense navy. Several delegates
warmly opposed the amendment, first
on the ground hat such a resolve
would properly come before a congress
composed of American delegates orty,
and second, on the the ground that the
congress had nc right to criticise the
American government for u%pholding,
by a suitable naval force, a doctrine.
by the enforcement of which war mad
been excluded from the western hem
isphere, and by means of an insistence
upon open door in the east preventing
war also in that section of the globe.
The Dole amendment was defeated by
a large majority.
Resolutions were unanimously passed
congratulating the powers at the mark
ed favorable development in signing
a permanent and obligatory treaty.
Before adjournment a letter was read
from Andrew Carnegie, dated Scotland,
in which Mr.. Carnegie suggested the
institution of a unique plan for reach
ing universal peace. Its nucleus was a
union OF the great powers which
would be granted authority to enforce
as an organization peaceful settlement
of all questions in dispute.
General Nelson A. Miles was the pr;ri-
cipal speaker tonight at a congress
meeting held in Park street church to
consider the question of the reduction
of ornaments and the menac of great
armies and navies.

New York, Oct. 6.-In q letter 70 the
Law Committee OF ammany Hall. State
superintendent OF Elections Morgan
today said:
Tt Is a matter Of common notcrtety
that elections IN New York have been
tainted with corruption through theU Use
OF citizenship papers fraudulently OBJ
tanned from both state and federal
courts and also through the use or
forged certificates OF naturalization
He then referred the recent acton
Of the state supreme court In cancelling
a number OF naturalization certificates
and continued:
Large as the number OF certificates
may seem which were cancelled by
Judge Goldersleeve. this number Is but
a small fraction OF the naturalization
frauds already discovered and O much
smaller percentage thar was discovered
by this office before the first day Of
registration for the general election OF
1904. This investigation will be contiu-
ued by this office within proper legal
pounds without Interference or dicti-
ton on the part OF nay organization
political or otherwise, or set OF indi-
viduals. At the same time every con
sideration which justice can extend Will
be shown 10 the poor u~nfortunates who
nave through ignorance, come into pos
session OF certificates OF naturalization
which by law they are not entitled
to possess.
n effort will be spared, and every
power which Is invested in this off'ce

PORT ARTHUR SQUADRON MAY

St Petersburg, October 7.22:20 a. m.
While the admiralty claims to have nc
knowledge OF the departure Of The Port
Arthur squadron. ii Is inferrable from
the way in which the report that such
an event had transpired has been re-
cefved that definite confirmation would
not create surprise.
The Associated Press Is informed that
no direct orders have been sent to Ad-
miral Wren to break through the
Dlockading feet, but IL is tacitly ad-
mitted that the admiral has discretion
airy powers to leave Port Arthur should
the situation demand or conditions be
propitious. In nave circles IL is point
ed out that Wednesday morning the
conditions might a been favorable
for a Sortie. Heavy storms ragged
Tuesday, and doubtless compelled the
blockading vessels, and particularly
the torpedo boats. to seek shelter, thus
leaving the way clear for a dash to
VIadivostok. Some naval officers, how
ever, are inclined to think the firing
that was heard at Che Foo may only
have been directed at blockade run
ners.

Toxic, October Gin addressing
the members of the United Clearing
House Of Toxic today. Count Okuma,
the leader of the progressive party,
warned h people to prepare for Il
long wal, the date of the termination
of which it was now impossible to
~foretell. He predicted that the cost to
the loans which had been already
placed and the expenses consequent
upon the wal at it's termination, would
total one billion dollars, which would
make the per capita share amount to
twenty dollars.
Count Okuma said that corruption
appeared to pervade the military, po-
litical and financial departments of
the Russian government, and that this
corruption had almost reached a eli
max which threatened a revolution.
1t was even reported that Lieutenant

Despite her weaknesses, Count Oku-
ma said Russia possessed immense re-
sources and had tremendous advant
ages in the size OF her population and
the greatness of her wealth and it
would be necessary for the Japanese
to make heavy sacrifices in order to
attain success. He predicted that the
war would eos Russia from one and a
half billion to two billion dollars and
said it YOU be impossible to raise

The count predicted that it would b..
necessary for the japanese government

added that if SIS, 600, 900 were secured
