Theatre of Next Battle.

Toxic, Oct, 6, p. MT is evident
that the country which is embraced
by an irregular triangle. the apex of
which is Tie pass. with the base run
ing frosn Mukden to Fushan on the
upper reaches of the Hun river, will
soon be the theatre Of extended and
extensive military operations
The Russians apparently are using
Tie pass as their main base, and are
constructing a series of defenScs to
shield it from tie south and the east
Two roadways approach Tie pass
from the south. One Of these road
ways is the main highway from Muk
den. aud Sbe other, which is smaller,
starts at Fushan and winds through
hillv country. Nineteen miles north
of Mukden is the town of hilu, the
southern aad eastern approaches 10
which are sheltered by sharp ridges,
Offering natural protection. 1t is
reported here that the Russians are
strongly insrenching in these ridges
and are erecting semi-permanent forti
fc2tions. The lilu rver which is
shallow and is fordaple. runs through
the town.
Inc ROSSl ans are reported 10 Oe IOT-
sifying the right bank Of the river be-
tween Yiiu and Tahaitun, Is mile TO
the nortl,ward. Several lines of ridges
cross the road and it is said that the
Russians are erecting works on many
of these eminences between Tahaitun
and Tie pass. For some seven miles
the country, generally speaking, is
hst, although commanding the road
way from the eastward is bill Loco
metres in height which the Russians
are fortiffying A range OF hills
TANKS Tie pass on the eastward.
The Russians are holding Fushan
with heavy force and it is believed
they are erecting works along the
road from that place to Tie pass.
This defensive work of the Russians
and the disposition of their forces
strengthens the belief that Gen. kur
opatkin merely intends tc retard Field
Marshal Oyama in his crossing OF the
Hun river and to give battle on tie
ground which he is now hUrrlediy for
tifylng.

&odern Breastplates-

Rome, Oct. 4.-Some time :&go the
Russian Government ordered ! 900
bullet proof breastplates Of the type
invented by Signor Benedetti. The
latter receaely started for st. Peters
burg to Supervise the manufacture of
the breasuaates. but was stopped at
Munich by the Italian firm to wbictl
ne had sold the rights to nlanufac-
tSre, and which objected to Signos
Renedetti's intervention in the matter,
and be returned to Italy. The firm
had also undertaken TO supply the
Jspanese Government with 200, 600
breast plates Now that the Russian
contract has been broken, it seems
shat Japan wishes to back cut of its
engagement, proposing to pay the
losses sustained by the firm through
he abrogation of the contract.

DESPERATE ROBBERS IN FLORIDA.
Frank Duncan Turned Over to
Alabama Authorities. His
Wife Advised Him to Com
nit Suicide.

Tavares, Fla, Oct. 3.-Frank Dun
can and his partner "kid" Stafford
we're convicted in the circuit court
today of blowing the safe Of the Lees
burg bank, and were sentenced to the
penitentiary for Is years-the full
limit for that offense. Sentence on
Duncan was suspended and he was
turned over to the Alabama authori
ties to be taken to Birmingham where
he was convicted of the murder of two
policemen and sentenced to hang.
When captured the prisoners were
we'll armed and bottle of nitroglycer-
inc was found in their possession.
They claimed that the bottle contain
ed medicine, but Detectives Ahn and
Badiker this morning placed some of
it's contents under stump and blew
it to atoms, startling the town with
the explosion.
When the prisoners were taken back
to Jail and they, with the sheriff and
detectives. were standing in the
corridor, Duncan drew from his pock-
ct bottle of nitro-glycerine, raised
it alof and with an oath said
"Turn US both loose, or we will all

leveled his pistol at Stafford, who
sank to his knees and begged him
not to shoot Duncan gave up the
bottle out of consideration for Stat

Duncans' wife came from Tampa

70 DIE FOR KILLING HIS Wife.
Law Will Bring One White MUIR
durer to his End if Governor
HeyWard Does not Interfere.

Seneca, Oct. 6.-The case of Hoyt
Hayes for the murder of his young
wife on May 2e, 1903, is now in the
hands Of the Governor. At his first
trial on July 1903. the jury was IN
able to agree, after remaining out
twenty hours.
In November last year his case was
tried again and the was convicted and
sentenced to hang on Jauary 10, 1904.
The case was then appealed to the
Supreme Court, which affirmed the
action of the lower court. and be was
then resentenced to hang on Octo Der
il.
On Tuesday James P Cary appear
ed before Judge Dantzler, at Man
ming as one of Hayse's attorneys and
there pIesentd the arguments in favor
of a commutation of Hayes's sentence
to life Imprisonment. but the Judge
declined to make any recommended
tiou to the Governor. Messrs. Cary,
Stribling and Shelor we're closeted
with the Governor several hours yes
terday asking for the commutation and
making efforts to prove that he was
convicted on circumstantial evience.
The Governor, however, declines to
say anything at present, but he is
considering the case.
y petition is before him signed by
over thousand persons asking him to
give the communication in favor of
Hayes On the other side a petition
is also before him asking him not to
interfere, to let the law take its
course. This petition is also signed
by about thouand persons, including
a majority of the jurors who convict
ed Hayes.
1t is said that Solicitor Boggs will
not interfere in Hayes's behalf, but
will ask the Governor to let the law
take its course.
There is very little hope for Hayes,
and no doubt be will be hanged at
Walhalla on Friday, the l4th inst.
He is in the County Jail at Walbal-
la. His attorneys, however, are work
ing hard to get the commutation, but
it is believed that the Governor will
let the law take it's course.
1t is rumored through this section
that Solicitor Boggs will resign as
solicitor from this circuit if the Gov
ernoi' interfcres with the execution Of
tie sentence.

st. Peterburg, Oct. 6.-11.50 a. NJ
Official advices from the far East given
out this evening describe series of
skirmishes on the southern front of
Gen. Kuropatkin's army, the only
importance of which lies in the fact
that the japanese are showing a dis
position to press toward and feel out
the Russian positions. Gen. Mistchen-
kos Cossacks in every case drove
back the opposing forces.
The activity Of the Japanese out
posts is doubtless intended to screen
movements of their armies, and,
therefore, may be regarded as precur-
sorry symptoms of final preparations for
an advance, which probably will be-
gin within week.
\ special messenger has brought to
the Emperor Gen. Kuropatkiu's full
report of the battle of Liao Yang.
The messenger, who submitted to an
interview, declares that the maiu
army is concentrated at Tie Pass, and
that it is not likely Gen. Kuropatkin
will make a determined stand at Muk-
den
Gen. Grippenbergs, recently appoint
ed to the command Of the second
Manchurian army, will be received
by Emperor Nicholas at Peterhof in

It is understood that the third divis-

is under orders to go to the front, and
this, with the second division of the
guards and the rife brigade of the
guards stationed in and around St.
Petersburg, will make altogether
about forty thousand guards who have
been ordered to the Far East.
There we're recurrent rumors tonight
of tl.o fall of Port Arthur, but they
have not the slightest foundation.

Mukden, Oct. 6.-TEe japanese
army on the Russian southern front

hours desultery firing followed, end
ing in the retirement of both sides.
Several spuadrons OF japanese have
been discovered to the South. Brisk
skirmishing resulted in the retiring

the Russians captured large lot Of
