JAPANESE LEFT ADVANCES
MOST IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT
IN THE SITUATION AT
THE FRONT.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 28.-The latest
development in the situation at the
front is the definite establishment of
the fact that Field Marshal Oyama
has now begun to move up his left.
General kuropatkin's latest report
shows that the Japanese have reached
Davan, on the west bank of the Lao
river. A considerable concentration
of Japanese is observed at Sianchan,
on the Hun river, thirty-five miles
southwest of Mukden, and Japanese
cavalry is massing in the valley Of the
Pu river The latter is tributary of
the Hun river, which crosses the line
of railway midway between Tie pass
and Mukden and may furnish natural
line of advance from the west.
Oyama's armies now apparently
cover front of sixty miles for envel-
oping movements. His wings are ex-
tended to the north, east and west of
Mukden. Thus far the Russians have
found little strength or pressure from
the Japanese center. Oyama seems to
be moving with great deliberation,
probably gathering strength for a
rapid advance of both wings when an
attempt Is made to close the net. AL
though the imaginary line connecting
the extreme Japanese advance east
and west of Mukden still passes ten
miles below that city it is evident
that the fate of Mukden cannot long
be delayed. Ii General Kuropatkin in
tends to try to hold the city fighting
on his fianks will begin almost imme-
diately.

DISCUSSES WOOL TARIFF.
Senator Fairbanks Speaks at Big Tim
ber, Mont.

Big Timber, Mont, Sept. 2S.-Sen-
ator Fairbanks discussed the wool tar
itf in his first speech of the day, made
at this point. Senator Fairbanks said:
1T is the policy of the Republican
party, so far as possible, to diversity
industry throughout the United States.
1t has sought to stimulate the estab-
lishment of new industries by means
of protection. 1t believes in encourag-
ing sheep husbandry and in stimulat-
ing the production of woolen goods in
the United States.
There is no good reason why the
American farmer should not be able
to produce the wool necessary TO meet
our great and expanding domestic
needs. We should not turn over wool
growing for our uses to the farmers OF
Australia, the Cape of Good Hope. the
Argentine Republic or elsewhere. We
should not pursue a policy which de-
stroys the American flock. but on the
other hand should by application OF
the protective principle encourage
sheep raising In our own country"
Senator Dolliyer also made brief
speech.

the history of the Roman Catholic

TELEPHONES FOR AMBULANCE
Philadelphia Educator Then Suicides
on the Street.

Philadelphia, Sept. 2S.-Dr. Eugene
Manning, fifty years old, professor of
German in a boys high school, has
shot and killed himself in the street.
No cause for his suicide is known.
Professor Manning went to restau-
rant near his clearinghouse and tele-
phoned to the city electrical bureau
that a police wagon would be needed
in Buttonwood street, above Sixteenth
street, which at night is deserted.
When the wagon reached the place
the body was found.
The shooting was done in a most
sensational manner, Professor Man
ming standing on the corner of Seven
teenth and Wood streets and firing
the pistol within sight of number of
pedestrians. None of the latter was
near enough to the educator to pre-
vent the suicide. Outside of the fact
that for the past month the professor
had been the victim of insomnia no
light has been shed on the cause of
the suicide

rave given satisfaction. That Is bet
ter than the new way proposed. In
having elections once in two years the
politicians have a longer time in which
to operate their propaganda. Office
holders have learned they must keep
themselves before the people IL not in
on way then In another In the off
year they will talk loudly about what
ought to be done but never think Of
doing 1t. The less frequent the cleo
lions the greater the opportunity for
ot1c1als to keep up their pretense OF
serving the people. The modern poll
teal methods of gaining public atten-
tlon are growing little more unsatis-
factory every year. For instance, poll
t1clans with pockets full OF passes and
who ride in private cars and on special
trains free of charge become bowling
anti-monopolists in talk and catch the
ear OF the people. II elections were
held once each year there would be
less of this kind of proceeding. How
ever, 1t Is too late to argue against the
amendment. 1t has been adopted and
should be sustained by the courts.

To him all other flowers bring
Their gentle homage, one and all,
They bow before his regal sway,
In splendid robes they see him preen
And by his side in rare array

The modest violets are there,
To f1utter in his royal train,
They perfume all the ambient air
With sweetness that is kin to pain
The orchid, gorgeous in it's pride,

But fairer than all else beside,
The royal rose, for she is queen.
Carnations bend in gentle grace
And ferns display their verdant

In patters wrought of living lace,
delicate and dainty maze,
But all the blooms, however fair
Each gem Of color set in green,
Pays homage to the royal pair
