While the admiralty claims to have no Knowledge of the departure of the Port Arthur squadron it is inferable from the way in which the report reads that such an event has transpired and def mite confirmation would. not create surprise. The Associated Press is in- formed that no direct orders have been sent to Admiral Wirenius to break through the bloCkading fleet. but it IS tacitly admitted that the admiral has discretionary powers 10 leave Port Arthur should the situation demand or the conditions be propitious. Tn na- val circles it is pointed out that on w WedneSday morning conditions might have been favorable for a sortie. Heavy storms ragged Cn Tuesday, and doubt less compelled the bIockading vessels and particularly the torpado boats. to seek shelter. thus leaving the way clear for dash to Vladivostok. Some of the naval officers, however, are inclined to think the firing that was heard at Che Too may only have beon directed at the blockade runners.
 Significant orders have been issued to keep the time expired members of all the guards regiments stationed and around St. Petersburg with the col ors til March, 1905.

N. Y. ELECTION FRAUDS
The Elimination of Those Possessing
 False Naturalization Papers.

New York. Oct. 6.-In a letter to the law committee of Tammany Hall, State Superintendent of Elections Nor gan today said: Ut is a matter of common notoriety that the elections in the state of New York have been taint- ed with corruption through the use of citizenship papers fraudulenuy ob- tained from both state and federal courts, by the use of forged certifi- cates of naturalization.
 He then referred to the recent action of the state supreme court in canceli- ing a number of naturalization ceHiTi- cates and continued: Large as tha number of certificates may seem which were cancelled by Judge Gildersleeve, this number is but a small fraction of the naturalization frauds undiscovered and a smaller percentage than will be discovered before the first day of reg istratiOn for the general elections of 1904.

WHEAT DROPPED AGAIN IA DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
Spectators Scared by the Visible
 Supply.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-Weakness of the foreign grain markets and increasing primary receipts in the United States was the cause of Q break of I6I1kc in the price of wheat here today. When trading in the wheat pit began senti- ment was only a trifIe easier but as the session advanced all support was apparently withdrawn and extreme weakness developed. Influences mainly responsible for the slight decline in prices at the start were lower cables and a report by a Cincinnati trade pa per alleging a material increase in the acreage sown with winter wheat. The condition f.this newly sown wheat was said moreover to be first class as are suit of recent favorable weather. The low point of the day for December was at 1O91s and for May at 1O9&. The demand improved considerably during tie last few minutes of the trading, a report of good flour sales at Mime apOlis furnishing a stimulus to buying. The market, however, closed weak with December at 1092s. Final quotations on May were at 1097s G1lO.
 The fear that the government crop report due on Monday will indicate a big yield caused a, liberal Iiquida ton in corn. The Cincinnati Trade Journal estimated the total yield at 2,4OO cod, GOO bushels. The market broke severe eIy. December closed 19s@11z lower at 49ss.
 In sympathy with the weakness of other grains the oats market was sub- jected to a considerable selling pres sure. December closed at 24 lower at 3O4h.

GENERAL MILES ON WAR.

Boston, Oct. "A public mass meet ing iu connection with the international peace congress was held in the Park street church for the purpose of dis cussIng the hope for the reduction of armament, as well as the menace to universal progress, of great armies and navies
 General Nelson A. Miles. U. S. A., (retired) the principal speaker. said in part: The settlement of internati 'n- al controversies by the dread arbitra- ton of war involves the destruction of tens of thousands and some times hundreds of thousands of the you Z men of both countries. Could any rule, code or method be more void ,f reason and justice?
 The great majority of wars in the worlds history have been 1ccfeio' by the selfish ambition of some usurpe- scrupulous men or the avarice and greed of a people. The deadly war now being waged between two powerful na- tions in the orient cannot benefit either country but must i'm pGveris-l both for the next hundred years. IL will not benefit mankind, but must retar1 hu- man progress.
 T have no sympathy for that senti- ment of peace ihat would compromise and aTbitrate or oppress the people of defenseless countries.
 Tt must be apparent to all thought ful, patriotic men that the intelligent world will not long endure the burden Of great standing armies and enor- mousIy expensive navies."

THE NEXT GREAT BATTLE
Expert Opinion Divided as to Whether
 1t Will Occur at MuLoden.

St. Petersburg. Oct. ', 4:1O a. m.- The war commission sat until an un- usually late hour tonight, but adjourn ed without issuing any additional news from the front.
 Expert opinion is divided as to whether serious engagement is likely to occur at Mukden, but the dispatch from that city reporting unusual activ- 1ty there gives rise to much specula- tion. It is impossible to say whether this condition presages the evacuation of Mufden but in any case it is evil dent that something of unusual inter- est is pending.
 Some are even bold enough to take it that General Kuropatkin is preparing to assume the offensive, but in view of the fact that the most reliable advices credit him with only about six divi- sions at Mukden, this is exceedingly improbable. It is thought more likely that the commotiOn had to do with one or another of the Japanese fIankfng columns, which the Russian command CT may have been preparing to check. DAS" OF PORT ARTHUR FLEET.

SENATOR cocKRELL's CHOICE.

The satisfaction produced by the discovery that
Republican legislature had been elected in Missouri
Was tempered only by the reflection that the surprls
ing victory would result in the retirement of Senator
Cockrel from the place which he had filled 50 long
and creditably The feeling was not less strong
among his political opponents than in his own party
that his prospective disappearance from public life
was to be regretted and the present expectation that
he viii continue to serve the country in another ca
pacity is sure to please his fellow citizens of every
political faith.
In offering to Senator Cockrell the vacant 18TH
man canal commiSsionership the president has paid
him an unusual compliment. for he informs him at
the same time that, if considerations of health con-
strain him to decline it. an appointment to the inter-
state commerce commission awaits his acceptance,
In one of those two important posts, therefore, it
may be hoped that the senator will find congenial
opportunity to employ his excellent talents and sound
judgment for the general benefit This practical ex
preston of the presidents high regard for the Mis-
souri, statesman, fully according with the estimate in
which he is everywhere held, is gratifying incident
of political life.
