JAP ADVANCE SLOW
Oyama's Vanguard Thirty
Miles South Of Mukden.
RUMORS OF BATTLE DISPROVED,
Japanese Apparently Give Up Idea
of EnveIopinE Movement and VIII
Attack KurOpatkin's Front
and FInnlSs.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 23.-The
japanese advance toward Mukden
continues slowly, according to infor-
nation received by the authorities
here. Both official reports and press
dispatches place Marquis Oyama's adj
vance guard thirty miles south of Muk-
den. Stories printed in the foreign
press that Il great battle at Mukden
has already begun are disproved by the
actual development at the scene of
operations. There is no question in
the minds of the Russian authorities
of the Importance of AIukden to the
Japanese as n winter base.
1t is believed the japanese will exert
every effor. to push out the Russians,
but it is thought n serious struggle for
the possession of the town is still some
days distant. The Japanese probably
will have to reckon first with q stub
born defense of the Fushun mines,
where the next important fight is ex-
pected TO take place.
Judging by present developments,
| Marquis Oyama is giving up the idea
of cutting General Kuropatkin's com
| munication to the northward and con
| tenting himself with advancing upon
the Russian front and flank in such
a fashion as to force the evacuation of
| the town and compel the Russians to
| retreat farther north. The whole plan
| of the Japanese advance shows Il con-
| siderable difference from the opera
lions at Liaoyang.
At the same time it is possible tho
Japanese are again making undisclose(
movements, as they have successfully
done in the past. According to the best
information Oyama has three armic>
concentrated south and southeast OF
Mukden. a fourth corps, consisting o'
two divisions composed of men draftcf
from the armies of Generals Kuroki
Nodzu and Oku, being detached t.
Dziantchan and thence sending on
thanking columns northward and north
eastward with the object of protecting
Oyama's right and at the same tinlt
driving in the Russian outposts. Al
enveloping movement on such a larg,
scale as General Kuroki essayed a
Liaoyang is not expected. Evidentl,
the Japanese realize that their strength
is inadequate to justify another at
tempt to surround General Kuropatkin
who now is stronger by two arm.
corps than he was at Liaoyang.
The report has gained some crcdenc'
here that it is the intention of tn
Japanese to winter at Mukden if the.
can take the town and then hold o.
until an accumulation of Russial
forces on their front compels them {
retire to the Liaotung peninsula an
Korea, the retreat in this directio
drawing General Kuropatkin afte
them.
Orders have been issued to prepar
seven rifle brigades for service in tn
far east.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Chairman Frank
Firth of the uniform bill of lading
committee has issued a new circular of
information regarding the new uniform
bill of lading that will prove of consid-
cradle interest to shippers. This infor-
nation includes points made by the

The more important of the provisions

or accept bills of lading and shipping
order forms such as are now in ordi-
nary use, even though they do not con-
form to standard width, provided they
contain conditions that agree substan-
TALLY with those of the standard forms.
THE words not negotiable should
be printed on the face of each uniform
bill of lading.
THE standard width of the forms is
81 inches, but to accommodate ship
pers, forms will be accepted if not less
than 71A inches nor more than 812 inch
es in width. They may be of any de-
sired length.

IN 1864 in Covington, KY, and was
educated in Pennsylvania. After fill
ing various positions in the railroad

tered the regular service, on the Gin

manned until 1890. when he was APP

DowIE CENsURED.
Central Passenger. Lines Accuse the
Prophet of Sharp Practices.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 9.-The business
methods of John Alexander Dowie
were on trial before a special COM
mittee of the Central passenger aSSo-
citation last Saturday. The meeting
was held in connection with the move
ment of Dowie's restoration hosts to
New York last fall, upon which occa-
sion the executive committee openly
charged Elijah with sharp dealing.
The censure laid by the passenger men
upon Dowie's methods did not suit
the prophet and he demanded an in
vestigation and is said to have in
structed his transportation agent, Mr..
and clear the fair name of Zion or
show reason why he failed to do so.
At the meeting Mr.. Peters appeared
before the committee and offered an
explanation, which, it is said, was not
regarded as worthy of serious con-
sideration.
According to the agreement entered
into between the executive committee
of the association and Mr. Peters for
Dowie the business from Zion City to
New York and return was to be di-
vided among the eastern lines as near
ly equally as possible. 1t was esti-
mated that each road would have one
special train. All railroad agents were
to keep away from Zion and refrain
from soliciting the business. One day,
after the business was supposed to
have been moved, the railroad men
awoke to the fact that the Nickel
Plate had "scooped" second special,
which left Chicago in the night time
unknown to the Nickel Plates COM
petitorS.
The investigation which followed re-
suited in a severe censure for the
Nickel Plate management and of DR..
Dowie for sharp practice.

SPECIAL POLICE.
Santa Fe Property at Arkansas City

to Be Guarded.
Arkansas City, Aug. "a police
force has been added to the equip
ment of the Santa Fe for the purpose
OF protecting the company's property
and employees. This morning five men
employed by the Santa Fee were sworn
into the service as extra policemen.
They are M G. C1arey, w. F. Ashley,
Joseph Lathrop, Frank Ryan and J.
T.. Kelley. These men are all Strang-
ers and have been in the special SER
vice of the Santa Fe at other points
Tor some time. Mr.. Clarey, who is
the officer in charge, has been en-
pIoyed as special agent for the COM
pany for the past twenty years.
These men will be on duty at the
south yards. This makes a force of
twelve men, including the men who
have been on duty since the machin-
lists strike commenced last May This
force will be reduced and some of
the old men will either be let out of
the employ of the company or will be
transferred to other places
These special policemen will have
jurisdiction or authority only on the
company's property in this city or over
employees of the company
In other words the special police
nave only authority to interfere when
the employees of the company are up
town and are threatened with violence
The special force and the local DO
lice force will work together and there
VIII probably be no further clashes of
authority All differences have been
adjusted and it is expected that this
Iorce VIII meet all the requirements.

Alf. A. Miller has 1S5 acres wheat

George Carothers had two big fields

averaged ten bushels per acre; the
other was just missed by the hail, and

of $221,303, or 1873 per cent, while

Gross earnings of the Minneapolis &
