SENATOR QUAY'S
Condition Causes II
Friends Anxiety.

Washington, d. c., May 5.-Senator
Quay, of Pennsylvania. is at his home
in this city and at present has no in
tention of leaving here. His physi-
cal condition Is such as to cause his
friends some anxiety. He is very weak
and while, he occasionally drives about
the city and on one or two occasions
has visited the departments on official
business since the adjournment Of con-
sress, he 10 accompanied invariably by
his daughter or an attendant.
In this connection II is regarded as
significant that among the executive
appointments announced today was
that Of William F. Wright to be con-
sui general Of the United States to
Munich. Mr.. Wright for many years
has been Senator Quay's secretary and
confidential clerk. Ii is regarded as
likely that the provision is made for
Mr.. Wright for the reason that Mr..
Quay may feel that his work in con-
gress is nearing an end.

KUROPATK|N RIGHT
In ESTIMATE OF
HI FORCE NEEDED
Recent Russian Reverses
Taught Lesson.
100000 NOT TOO MANY

st. Petersburg, May 6.-The recent
reverse along the Yalu has had the
effect of impressing the war office
with the fact that General Kuropat-
kin's statement that he would need
half q million men was not an ex-
aggeration. Orders have been issued
for the mobilization of the Tenth and
Eighteenth army corps.
The defeat Of the Siberian regi-
ments was distinct shock to public
confidence and despite the optimistic
accounts printed in the newspapers
the people generally are greatly de-
pressed. Open criticism Of the govern.
ment is being suppressed by wholesale
arrests but the internal situation in
Russia is very serious.
The question of transportation is
causing the general staff much ankle
ty. The Manchurian roads are in very
bad shape due to the recent rains and
It is almost impossible to move wheel
ed conveyances. The Japanese are re-
ported to be using coolies but the
Russians cannot secure them and are
forced to depend on horses.
1t Ia conceded that II the Japanese
take Feng-Huang-Ch -Cheng they will
capture large quantity of transport
apparatus which has been stored
there.

SENSATIONAL
Features Absent from the
Tyner Trial.

Washington, d. c., May 5.-The trial
of James N. Tyner and his nephew,
Harrison ]. Barrett, an attorney. in
dicted for conspiracy in connection
with decisions relative to "get-rich-
quick" concerns while they we're re-
spectively attorney general and assist
ant attorney general for the postoffice
department, consumed day with two
witnesses under examination.
Sensational features, such as those
that figured SO prominently in the
Machen- -Lorenz-Groff trial few
weeks ago are wholly lacking. II
seems to be more in the nature of a
civil proceeding than the trial of a
criminal charge. The introduction of
documentary evidence. the reading Of
letters, circulars and reports and ex-
plantations of how business was trans
acted at the postofficc department and
elsewhere by officials of the depart
ment constitute for the most part what
is going on.
General Tyner, the aged invalid, who
has openly expressed the fear that he
may not live until the trial comes to
an end, did not appear in his accus-
toned seat until the afternoon session.
His nephew was the usual alert prin-
cipal, aiding his counsel In the cross
examination OF Haze Morgan, an at
tache of the Office under the Tyner re-
gime, whose testimony was confined to
the preparation of decisions. At one
time Assistant United States Attor-
ney Taggert handed the witness a
paper and asked If the signature there
on was that of the witness.
Il don't know" Mr. Morgan replied
The answer caused laughter.
why do you not know" Mr.. Tag
CERT then inquired.
Il believe 1t is my signature" Mr..
Morgan explained, but J can't say
positively for the reason that | have
had my signature forged on checks
and l could not tell the genuine from
the forgery"
]. Henning Nelms, attired I'M clerical
garb, the man who, 1t is alleged Mr..
Barrett announced he would be asso-
ciated with in the practice of law after
Barett's retirement from the post
Office department January l, 1901, was
on the stand when court adjourned.
Mr. Nelms told of entering into a
partnership with Mr.. Barrett. The
& ..,ct was first mentioned, he said,
about eighteen months prior to Mr..
il cts retirement from the depart
ment.

FINAL ARGUMENTS IN
MOYER HABEAS
CORPUS
If Court Has Jurisdiction
How Will lIt
ENFORCE ITS ORDERS i?

Denver, Colo, May 5.-Final argu-
ments in the Meyer habeas corpus
case began in the supreme court today
and will not be concluded before to-
morrow night. Attorney John NJ.
Waldon, for Governor Peabody, and E..
f. Richardson, counsel for the West
ern Federation of Miners consumed
the whole day with their arguments.
Waldron offered additional citations
showing that Governor Peabody was
entirely within his rights in declaring
martial law at Telluride and pursu-
ing the exact course he has. He ex-
coriated the press of the state and
others for aiding and abetting Presi-
dent Meyer in the alleged insurrection
against the constituted authorities and
denied that the supreme court had any
Jurisdiction In the premises.
Suppose this court does decide that
1t has jurisdiction, how is 1t going to
force its orders?' significantly asked
the attorney.
General Richardson maintained that
the governor had no right to declare
martial law without first calling the
legislature into session and held that
the military could not keep Meyer a
prisoner indefinitely without trial as
1t is alleged they have.

MURDER
SUSPECTED IN CASE OF
NEGRO GIRL
BURNED IN A STABLE
Man and Woman are
Under Arrest.

Trenton, N. j., May 5.-Isabelle, the
12-year-old niece of Lawrence B. Ker-
shaw, negro coachman for o. o.
Bowman, president of the Broad street
National bank, was burned to death
this afternoon In the Bowman stable.
The police suspect that the child was
murdered by Anna Kershaw, the
coachman's wife. She and her hus-
band were arrested and remanded by
District Court Judgfe Rees for fur
ther hearing pending an inquest.
Sergeant Schenck, Of the second dis
trict police station received telephone
message from Kershaw to the effect
that the child had been seriously burn
ed. The police ambulance was i'm
mediately sent to the scene. A few
minutes later a neighbor telephoned
that by the common belief the child
had come to her death by violence at
the hands of Mrs. Kershaw. There
upon the sergeant sent Patrolman
Richter to the place with orders to ar
rest the coachman and his wife. The
policeman found the stiffened form Of
the negro girl under rug on the Sec
ond floor of the stable which Ker-
shaw uses as his home. All her cloth
iIg except the stockings had been
burned off. The patrolman stamped
out the fire on the carpet which was
only smoldering when he entered
What first started suspicion was the
fact that there was no connection or
train between the burned portion of the
carpet and the glowing stove which
stood in the kitchen at the time.
Mrs. Kershaw was seen TO leave the
stable three minutes before her hus-
band gave the alarm. The child was
the half witted orphan daughter of
Kershaw's brother, and 1t is believed
that Mrs. Kershay wanted to get rid
OF it,

UP HIS SLEEVE
Eddie Fay Had a Conven-
lent File.

Chicago, May 5.-Another evidence
of outside aid being offered to Eddie
Fay, alleged king of postofiice
thieves" came to light when it
was discovered that three rasp files
had been cleverly sewed In the seam
of the prisoners coat. The files were
discovered at the county jail, soon
after Fay had been held to the feder-
al grand jury at Madison, Wis, in
connection with a $4,000 postofiice
robbery at Superior
p. o. Inspector Stuart was not sur
prised when told Of the "find" in the
prisoners clothing. The inspector on
ly recently asserted that Fay was
receiving outside assistance from a
clique Of men known individually as
prominent and influential citizens"
Inspector Stuart advanced the
theory that the files were sewn In the
coat of q new suit which was left
at the jail for Fay Thursday. Inspec-
tor Stuart believes Fay did not intend
to attempt to get out Immediately.

Corn Culture.

Editor Morning News-As the sea.
son is late for farmers to get their
spring crop planted, the writer, as a
retired farmer, will give some advice
in corn culture to the farmer OF
clay soils. In corn cultivation in
heavy. clay the soil should be plow-
ed shallow for the following reason ::
Clay soils are naturally cold and II
plowed deep, say seven to eight inch
es, the corn will send its roots as
deep as plowed, and there they win
spread and receive no moisture from
light showers and the heat of the
sun will not reach those rootlets, as
they would in shallow blowing; as
all farmers know that corn wants
warm weather and warm rootlets to
cause 1t TO mature faster as the sea
son Is late, and perhaps a short sum-
mer. Again team will do the work
easier and the farmer can plow a
third more than to plow deep.
Many farmers know that the corn
does not get all its plant food. from
the soil as the blades of the corn
are for a purpose, and that is to catch
the night dew on the blades which is
food to help mature the corn nearly
as much so as the moisture of the
soil.
Farmers, don't believe the old adage
Pillow deep while sluggards sleep. and
you should have corn to sell and
keep"

The People, He Says, Feel Friendly
to Japanese, But Greatly Dis
like the Russians.
Washington, May 5.-Straight from
the headquarters of the Russian army
in Manchuria, the Rev. George Doug
las, missionary of the United Free
Presbyterian church of Scotland, was
closeted with the president for some
time today.
Mr.. Douglas Is In possession OF
much information which would prove
OF great interest but he feels in honor
bound not to diyu,ge 1t. He says he
feels that II would be breach Of
faith with the Russian authorities
u On whom he ano his fellow mission
aries are dependent for protection in
these stormy timrs.
The feeling among the Manchurian
populace, says Mr.. Douglas, is
strongly pro-Japanese. He thinks the
reason for this is the difference in the
treatment accorded the peasantry by
the two armies. When the Japanese
occupied Manchnria In their war with
China, they impressed freely but COM

JAPANESE EXPRESS SURPRISE
At Failure Of Russians to More Strongly Oppose
the Passage of the YaIu---Tokio Re-
ports Of the Fighting

Toxic. May 6.--Great surprise is ex-
pressed throughout japan at the fail
ure Of the Russians to oppose the cros-
sing Of the Japanese at Sukuchin
where the right bank of the Yalu COM
mands the left bank, and also at the
failure to attempt to check the ad-
vance Of the twelfth division through
the hilly district between the Al and
Yalu rivers. It Ia openly asserted by
Japanese officers, that despite the op-
timistic accounts from Russian sources
the Russians did not make stout de-
Tense Of their entrenchments at the
river.
1t appears that the efficiency of the
Cossacks has been greatly impaired
by their division into small patrolling
parties of from thirty to forty troop
ers. These small detachments had
been instructed to oppose the Twelfth
division which was extended over a
four mile front. The Cossscks were
taken In the rear of the guards divi-
sion which crossed opposite Wiju and
after occupying Kin-Leng- Cheng at
taoked the enemy on their front. 1t is
believed that the Russian casualties
were much greater than has as yet ap-
peared.
The Yalu river at Wiju is 1000 me-
tres wide and is divided into three
streams OF these the central stream
alone required bridging, the others be-
ing fordable waist deep. The Husann
and Yulchasan hills command Kiu-
Leng-Cheng and the south back Of the
Yalu. The Makau and Yushukan hills
command the south bank of the Yalu
below Husan and Homutang CON-
mands four roads which converge
there. The Yalu runs In single
stream at Sukuchin which is thir-
teen miles above Wiju.
At the beginning Of hostllities the
position of the Russian forces was as
follows; Batteries were placed on the
heights commanding the Yalu and its
tributaries with cavalry patrols at
short intervals for miles along the
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1904-05-10

right bank. Strong forces of infan-
try and artillery we're at Antung, Kiu-
Leng- Cheng, Makau and Mukushan. A
regiment of mounted infantry with
mountain artillery were at Husan and
Yulchasan with outposts at Cheng-
Song-Do and opposite Sukuchin while
there was an entrenched rallying point
at HomutaDg.
On April q, the Japanese guards
division drove the Russians from Hu-
san by a continuous rife fire delivered
from Kulido. Next day the Second d.
vision crossed to Cheun-Song-Do and
drove the Russians out their advance
being covered by rapid artillery fire
from field guns.
The Twelfth division built bridge
across the river opposite Sukuchin in
the face Of combined artillery and in
fantry fire. At the same time the
guards were building bridge to HUI
san. The naval division was then
pressed into service and with the aid
Of their guns and the several batter
les of siege artillery the entire Rus
sian position was shelled. In this way
the Russian artillery wss silenced.
AL being ready for the general ad-
vance, the Twelfth division waded the
Al river and stormed the Russian po-
sition on the right bank, carrying it
at che point Of the bayonet and then
sweeping around to the northeast Of
Kiu-Leng- Cheng. At the same time,
the guards division crossed from HUI
san and advanced direct on Kiu-Leng-
Cheng The Second division followed
the guards and moved south along the
Yalu towards Antung The Russians
holding the latter town were attacked
with vigor, and, seeing their line of
communications endangered, retreated
on Homutang, toward which point the
defeated Russians were already re-
treating from the other points. The
Russians made their final stand here,
but being attacked on three sides, their
position became untenable and they
were finally routed by dashing bayo-
net charge.
