RUSSIAN PLANS
Failed Against Japs at
TaChe kiao.

Toxic, July 30.-Uondon Times)-
Late accounts of the Japanese occupa-
tion of Tache Kiao suggest that the
Russian plan in it's defense was ap-
parently to have rolled back the Jap
anese left which rested on the road
from Kaiping to Tache Kiao with a
cavalry screen to the westward, but
the Japanese attack on the night of
July 25th frustrated this program, the
Russian left being driven back and
Tapingling, the key to the whole sit,
uation, being seized.
Panling, which was occupied by the
Takushan force on July 22nd lies east
of Tomuching. therefore the Takushan
army is now only eighteen miles from
Hal Cheng which is consequently un,
suited to serve as General Kuropat
ln's next stand. He will probably
select Aushantien, midway between
Hal Cheng and Lao Yang

NO QUARTER
is URGED BY MOSCOW GA.
ZETTE ON
RUSSIAN COMMANDERS
Desperate Advice For
Desperate Situation.

Moscow, July 30-ILondon News)-
The Moscow Gazette urges the Russian
commanders in the far east not to give
any quarter to the japanese in battle.
Our great general, Suvaroff," says
the Gazette, when he fought against
the civilized French, often gave the
order to give no quarter to his troops.
This, which is not cruelty or barbarlsm,
was necessity, and now necessity
forces us in this war with a half saw
age, barbarous nation to adhere to
Suvaroff's rule. In our war with Japan
we are like man attacked by viper.
1t is not enough to frighten 1t and then
leave it to hide in the bush. 1t must
be destroyed and we must do this in the
present instance without considering
whether England and a cosmopolitan
plutocracy object. We cannot burden
ourselves with thousands of Japanese
prisoners who will spread dysentery
typhus and cholera among the Rus
sian people.
Perhaps, according to humanitarian
principles, it would be very unwise to
give no quarter, but nevertheless, mo
quarter and no prisoners should be
our motto"

At R0semount and Talked Over the General Situa-
tion-.- Mcclellan Calls on the Candidate. la
bor Troubles Hurt Republican Prospects.
MINERS ARE AGAINST ROOSEVELT

the man who at the st. Louis conven-
tion made Parker's nomination on the
first ballot possible by swinging the
Hearst-instructed Idaho delegates in
to the Parker column before second
ballot could be announced.
Senator Dubois came TO Esopus
frankly to urge upon the nominee the
desirability of making an out and out
anti-polygamy declaration in his let
ter of acceptance. 1t was largely
through the Idaho mans influence that
the plank condemning plural mar
riages was inserted in the st. Louis
platform He spent more than an
hour in earnest discussion of the sub
ject with Judge Parker and when he
went away at 5 o'clock this evening
had extracted a promise from the
nominee to seriously consider the
proposition At present Judge Parker
is disposed to insert section In his
letter of acceptance expressing oppo-
sition to polygamy and declaring that
wherever it exists in the country it
must be speedily stamped out.
Senator Dubois gave out state
ment in which he said the Democratic
party has more than an equal chance
Of carrying the states of Idaho, Colo
rado Washington and Montana. He
admits that President Roosevelt is
personally popular there but contends
that the Republicans have lost thou
sands of voters in all four states
hrl nl, 1ah
He believes that the miners vote
will be almost unit against the Re-
publican state and national tickets
and he assured Judge Parker thatift the
election were to be held tomorrow he
would certainly carry Idaho, Colorado
Washington and Montana. He added
however, that he could see no reason
why sentiment in that section should
change before November 8. Senator
Dubois also announced that the Unit
ed States senate committee on priv.
ileges and elections will start from
Washington to investigate conditions
of alleged polygamy in Idaho and Utah
during the first week after election.
The nominal mission of the sena
tors is to prove or disprove the allega
tions that Reed Smoot, Mormon apos
tie in the state or Utah, has not a
legal right to retain his seat in the
United States senate. but while on the
scene the committee will also probe
the frequent charges that the Mormon
church dominates the politics of Utah
The committee will report to the
! next session of congress.

FOUL PLAY
THEORY AS TO MlLLER'S
DEATH DISPOSED OF.
NO MONEY IN The BANK
Death Was Due to Excess
Sive Drinking.

The dead body Of William Miller,
of Akron, was found in cell No. 6 al
the city prison yesterday morning by
Acting Turnkey Mortensen, who had
entered the prison proper to notify
Miller that he was wanted before the
mayor. This was at few minutes
before nine o'clock. Two and one-half
hours earlier, he had placed break
fast in Miller's cell and the prisoner
had said, "All right" to the call of the
turnkey. The body was found with
one hand over the nostrils, the legs
apart.
Coroner Schiltz, upon examination,
gave the cause of death as acute
alcoholism.
1t was shortly after twelve o'clock
Thursday morning that Sergeant Rib
let and officer Schissler arrested Mil
Ter for intoXication in the lumber
yards at the corner of South and Wal.
nut streets. He had been imbibing
freely the afternoon and evening pre-
ceding his arrest and from the state
ments which the police have secured
by persons who had seen the man he
had been in the realm of the jun
giles" during almost all of that period.
The question of whether the man
had been dealt with foully by charac-
ters in the "jungles" came under con.
sideration but. last night the incidents
surrounding the case led to conclu-
sion that overindulgence in liquor
alone brought about death. The coro-
ner stated that if the man had been
poisoned outward effects would have
been seen upon his investigation of
the body.
One of the members of the police
force received information yesterday
afternoon that while in West Tus-
carawas street saloon Thursday after
noon, Miller told friend in a loud
voice that he had $3.50 in the Farmers
| bank in this city and that he was going
up to draw it out When asked last
night concerning such transaction,
Teller Lind, of the above mentioned
banking institution said that he did
not recall the name of William Mil
Ter as being a depositor in the bank,
although the name of Miller is fire.
Quently on the books there.
When searched at headquarters Mil
Ter had nothing in his pockets but a
knife. His identity was ascertained by
suit case which he had left at the
Delicatessen restaurant in charge of
the night clerk, Henry Cholley, whose
name was on book found in the dead
mans pocket. The case had been left
at the restaurant by Miller. Personal
business papers from Akron firms
caused Undertaken Shilling to tele-
phone the establishments there. 1t
was found that Miller worked until the
feed store on Market street. Through
the proprietors the dead mans rela-
| tives were informed. Mrs. A. Miller,
of 767 Cummings street. Akron, a sis,

afternoon. Miller, who is about 80
years old, is survived by four broth
