SHlCi VI "ihbaIJ anu NaNal O'SSS'
st. Petersburg, April 26.-General
Kuropatkin, it is believed in the high
est military circles here, is destined
to become commander-in-chief of all
the emperor's forces, both military
and naval, in the Far East.
Admiral AleXieff may remain there
for some little time as viceroy, but his
reign is considered practically ended.
He will not be humiliated but in or
der to effect harmonious relations a
way will be found to secure his elimin-
alton.
While A.eXiaff and Kuropatkin are
on fairly good terms, harmonious re.
lations between Vice Admiral Skryd.
loft and the viceroy are considered i'm
possible, and with the three enjoying
Independent commands it is realized
that friction would be bound ultimately
to arise, which might endanger sue
cessful operations. Skrydloff and Kur
opatkin, on the contrary, are warm
personal friends.
With Alexieff removed from the
theater Of war and in view of the pa.
tent necessity to have supreme com.
mander of both the army and navy or
the ground as well as to insure per.
feet harmony. Vice Admiral Skrydloff,
in view of the minor role which the
fleet will play, has already expressed
his willingness to accept the post of

General Kuropatlin as commander-in.

BABY FARM HORRORS.
Detectives Say Little Ones Were Killed
by Charcoal Fumes-Bodies De-
stroyed by Lime.

Philadelphia, April 25.-More start.
ling evidence as to the work of the So
called malpractice syndicate has been
unearthed by Coroner Dugan, and az
a result an additional charge will prob
ably be brought against Mrs. Eliza
beth Ashmead her son and their as
sociates.
Clews have also been discovered
that indicate that babies were smoth-
cred by charcoal fumes in baby farm
uptown. Afterward, it is said, the
bodies were destroyed in quicklime.
During the day the body Of young
woman was exhumed and an autopsy
shows death was caused by an opera
ton.
Coroner Dugan directed that bail
pieces be taken out for the Ashmeads.
In making a search of another estab
lishment the coroner's detectives
found a charcoal brazier. II is the
theory that this was used to generate
fumes that choked life out Of undesir-
able little ones. In the yard of this
house was found a half used barrel OF
Nuicklime, which, it is the thory, was
the material used to destroy the
bodies

is provided for at least years opeT-

The work east of Pittsburg is being

The work on subsidiary lines is also
going forward and several Of them

A eAD INVESTMENT?
Senator Hale Counseed Delay In
Building More Battleships.

Building More Battleships.
Washington, April 26.-Whether the
president shall order the construction
of the battleship provided for in the
naval appropriation bill or wait until
the war in the Far East demonstrates
the comparative utility of the big sea
fighter and the torpedo boat or subma-
rine craft, was a question raised in
the senate by Mr.. Hale on the adoD-
tion of the conference report.
1t developed that the language Of
the bill was permissive and that the
president and secretary of the navy
could defer action if they deem it ad-
visable. Mr.. Hale declared that if he
were secretary of the navy he should
rot dare go on now and commit the
government to the building of an i'm
mense battleship, for it would not sur
prise him if events of the Russian
Japanese war demonstrated that the
$150,000,000 paid for big battleships
were bad investment for this govern
ment Several other senators cOun-
seled delay.
Mr.. Bacon discussed trusts, replying
to the recent speech of Mr.. Dolliver.
He devoted the greater portion to con-
ditions which make it possible for

sumers are required to pay.
Mr.. Bacon read letter from Charles
NJ Schwab to H. C. Frick giving the
cost of manufacturing steel rails which
Mr.. Bacon said showed that the
trust needed no protection against
English steel manufacturers. The let
ter said rails could be sold at a profit
at SIG per ton.
THAT is information given by Mr..
Schwab in a private letter" said Mr..
Bacon.
IL don't care how private it is,' eX
claimed Mr.. Aldrich, 'he can be mis-
taken rs well as any one else-what
he states there is absolutely untrue
and absurd
Mr. Aldrich declared Mr.. Schwab's
letter to be merely part of stock
jobbing affair, to which Mr. Bailey re.
piled that "Mr Schwab is as reputable
and truthful as any man who ever
filched money from the pockets Of the
people through a protective tariff"
Mr.. Bacon contended that Schwab
stood at the head and front of the
steel industry and therefore spoke by
authority. The subject was then
dropped.

Athens, April 2G.-An affray between
Turkish gendarmes and Greeks is re-
ported from Smyrna, in which NJ,
Delyannis, secretary of the Greek con-
iulate, was slightly wounded Seri-
Gus complications may ensue. 4
Greek squadron has sailed for Smyrna.
1t appears that NJ. Delyannis endeav
1ved to open the shop of some Greek
merchants which had been closed for
non-payment of taxes. This was op.
posed by the gendarmes. A struggle
ensued in which NJ Delyannis was
wounded and he fired on the gend-
armes. The Turkish authorities i'm
prisoned M. Delyannis and two con-
sulate guards, who were only released
after the Intervention of French con-
sui.
The Ottoman minister here after a
long conference with the foreign min
lSter promised full satisfaction for the
Smyrna affair.
An official communique says that NJ.
Delyannis, acting in self-defense, fired
several shots. The Greek consul gen
eral proceeded to the Office of the
Ottoman governor after the arrest of
NJ. Delyannis and the consulate guards
and found NJ. Delyannis there, bound
and bleeding from his wounds. NJ. Del
yannis was authorized to accompany

prevented the departure of the two

Another Disaster to Russian Navy.

Another Disaster to Russian Navy
Viceroy Alexieff's report Of the de-
struction of a launch and the loss of
q men by the explosion of a Russian
torpedo at Port Arthur has added to
the gloom which has prevailed at ST
Petersburg since the disaster to the
Petropavlovsk.
The war commission suppressed
part of the viccroy's dispatch which
showed where the mines were bein,s
laid. 1t is believed that as launches
were employed they were mining the
entrance to the harbor in order to pre-
vent the Japanese from forcing an en-.
trance and attempting to destroy the
remaining ships.
1t is evident from the closing of the
entrance that Viceroy AleXieff has no
intention of letting his ships go 20
sea again, even agains: an inferior
force, though this may not be the
policy of Vice Admiral Skrydloff, who
will determine on plan of opera
tions when he assumes command.
Japanese Will Stay Near the Sea.
Apparently reliable information leads
to belief that the objective of the Japa.
nese campaign does not involve the
ambitions invasion of the interior OF
ManchUria with the purpose of reach

sian army. If the Japanese ever Ell.
tertained the hope of accomplishing a
task similar to that which Napoleon
set himself, present advices indicate
that they have abandoned it and have
adopted a much more cautious and less
hazardous program.
If this information is correct there
will be no advance upon The army
