The War I'm the East

st. Petersburg, Sept. 27.-News of
the battle of Mukden is hourly expected.
The japanese are crossing the Taitse
river at the rate of 1000 men a day
Apparently a large force is now march
ing direct on Tie Ling Pass. north of
Mukden, on the Lao river, by a road
from Tsian Chan, which passes 100
miles east OF Mukden. When this fresh
turning movement is sufficiently ad-
vanced, a general movement against
the Russian forces is anticipated. 1t is
reported that the japanese efforts are
being somewhat retarded by disease.
Daling Pass is necessary for the complete
success of the movement, and it is stated
that the MikadO's men have not yet
penetrated this defle. These facts,
however, while more or less hindrance
to the japanese full advance, are not ex
pected to retard the first stages of the
battle.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 27.-General
Sakharoff wires that japanese force on
Sept. 25th advanced along the ground
between the Mandarin roads, and the
heights of Toumitsi, to the southeast of
Mukden. The movement, which was
apparently a reconnaissance, was retard-
ed by Russian cavalry. The japanese,
he adds, are not yet north of Davan. They
appear to be cOncentratingat Tsan Chan
with their cavalry in the valley of the
POu HO.
st. Petersburg, Sept. q. The Jour
nal today asserts thar all suggestions in
favor of meditation in the war in the far
East have been actuated by desire to save
Japan from disaster. The Cars ex-
pressions in his letter to General Grip
penberg, assigning him to the command
of the second Manchurian army. the
paper asserts, shows that the intention
of Russia is to attain the only possible
settlement OF the war with an arrogant
and treacherous enemy; namely, full and
final victory.

A Challenge.

Vienna, Sept. 27.-It is rumored that
Prince Philip, Of Coburg, husband of the
Princess Louise, who recently eloped
with Count Keglevitch- Mattassitch, has
challenged Count Elmer Lonysp, Louise
brother-in-law, to duel. Philip is said
to have been displeased by the Countess
Lonyay allowing the contents of tele-
gram sent to Emperor Franz JOsefto be
made public, and especially before Co.
burg himself received copy of it. The
Countess Lonyay recently sent telegram
to the Austrian emperor informing him
that she was stopping with Princess
Louise in Paris, aud could vouch for the
untruth of the report that the Princess
was insane. Princess Louise, she said,
had been basely msligned. She asked
the Emperor to grant her an audience to
arrange, if possible, for the putting forth
of efforts or his part to bring about a
reconciliation between the Princess and
her father, King Leopold Of Belgium.
The audience has not been granted.

Driven to Suicide by Jealousy.

New York, Sept. 27.-Because he
failed to win the love of a New York
woman, Carlos Fredriques Won Bandit,
scion of one of the most prominent and
wealthy families in South America, and
heir to many millions, committed sui

death was instantaneous. Before he

to the woman who drove him to the act
Young Banditz's father is general in
the Venezuelan army and the Won Ban
ditz estates at Neutrias, Venezuela, are
the most valuable private estates in the
country. Supplied with any amount of
spending money he needed, young Ban
ditz, in company with Philip Molina,
came to New York. Eight months ago
he was introduced to handsome young
woman, who gave her name as Vivian
Delemo. Banditz fell madly in love
with the woman and he pressed his suit
With the passion that marks the love OF
his people. He was jealous of other
men who were seen with her and at such
times he seemed little less than maniac.
But the De.emo woman did not favor the
suit. She feared him, it is stated, and
again and again she refused his offer to
make her his wife. Bandit had recent
ly seen the young woman in the COM
pany of another man, and on one occa-

The Stolen Cone.

Rome, Sept. 27.-lt is now asserted
that photographer Racchigiani, who COM
mitted suicide after the theft OF the
Ascoli cope had been laid at his door,
took his life because offinancial troubles,
and that the theft had nothing to do
with his suicide. The Syndic OF Ascoi
has sent a courteous letter in Eng lish to
J. p. Morgan, who bought the cope,
stating that it appears certain that Mr..
Morgan has the cope, which is valued
by the town because it was presented by
a citizen of the town, Pope Nicholas
". The Syndic expresses the hope
that Mr.. Morgan will open negotiations
with a view of restoring the relic. 1t is
believed the police have lost all trace of
the thieves.
The Ascoli cope, or ecclesiastical robe,
was stolen from the cathedral ut Ascoll
in 1892. All traces of it were lost until
a comparatively short time ago, when
Mr.. Morgan purchased a cope in Italy,
and exhibited it in the Kensington
Museum. This robe was recognized as
the one long missing from Ascoli. Indi-
cations pointed to Raccigiani, an Italian
photographer, as the man who had
stolen the relic. On August 18th he
was found dead in his apartments, and
this seemed to confirm the belief. He
left note, stating that he was innocent,
and intimating that the real thief was
one in high Italian circles. The search
for the culprit has since been con-
Quoted with considerable care, but no
trace has yet been obtained.

THOMAS w. LAwsoN's last instalment
of the "Story of Amalgamated" handles
Delaware's perpetual candidate for the
United States Senate, Mr.. Addicks,
without gloves. Mr.. Addcks is des-
cribed "as the man without heart,
without a soul, aud, Ibelieve, absolutely
without a conscience" Mr.. Lawson

a wholesale debaucher of citizenship and
all-around cOrrupter of men," He tells
how Addicks consolidate The Boston gas
companies, after making $500, 900 out

with the invention of water gas. In re-
counting the financial wal between Ad-
dicks and the Standard Oil that followed,
the remarkable statement is made by
Lawson that the Standard Oil group of
financiers are constantly unloading their
Standard Oil stock upon the public in
exchange for various kinds of legitimate
sndustrial and real estate investments,
and that they are doing this in fear OF
che inevitable day of reckoning when the
public shall understand their crimes.
