PEARS SAYS NO.
He Refuses to Allow Indians to Attend
Washburn.

There is a fight between Haskell
and Washburn for the possession of
three Indian football players-Emil
Hauser. Pete Hauser and Geo. Falls
The three boys want to go to Wash
burn, but they have run into snag.
The snag is Supt. Peairs. Supt Peairs
says that if the three boys attempt
to leave the school he will have them
arrested and brought back 1t is re-
ported here that there was a stormy
Scene at Haskell the other day. when
Peairs attempted to lay down the law
to the Hauser boys and Falls. Con-
siderable hot language was exchanged
If Supt. PEARS claim is in accord
ance with the law, there is no doubt
that the three football players will
have to stay at Haskell. Peairs can
call to his aid the services of the
United States marshal. and his COM
mands will be enforced Peairs says
that the boys are obliged to stay in
the school This is because they are
government wards and that for them
to leave the school and come to Wash
burn would be just the same as if a
blanket Indian should leave the res
ervation and go on the war path
But that isn't the way the Wash
burn people look at the matter. 'Peairs
is just trying to bluff those boys, says
Manager Frank Leach. of the Wash
of age. and don't want to stay there
any longer. This man Peairs hangs
onto those Indian boys and keeps them
down there for years after they ought
to be encouraged to get out and do
something for themselves. He wants
them to play football for him, and
that's all. That's his way of 'encour-
aging the Indian. Falls was in the
Lawrence High school last year. The
reason they prefer to attend Washburn
is because they are great friends of
John Outland, our coach. Outland
coached them one year. and they
all think he is hot stuff. They are
prepared to take up advanced work |
in Washburn and they are old enough
to know what they want. It's just
question whether Peairs can bluff and !
buIldoze them into staying there at |

MAINE VOTES.
Election Day Opens With Un-
favorable Weather Conditions.
There Are Four State Tickets
in the Field.

Portland, Me, Sept. 12.-Reports of
unfavorable weather conditions for
election day came from all parts of
Maine early today. Foggy and threat
ening conditions prevailed in nearly all
sections though there was some pros
pect of clearing later. The polls opened
at o'clock in most places and will
close everywhere at 5 o'clock this after
noon. The balloting was for governor,
four congressman, state senators and
representatives and county officers. The
candidates for governor are VIM. I.
Cobb of Rockland, Republican; Cyrus
w. Davis of Waterville, Democrat; N.
F. Woodbury. of Auburn, Prohibitionist,
and Wilbur G. Hapgood of Skowhegan,
Socialist. While the election of Mr..
Cobb was generally conceded, the size
of his plurality was in dispute.
Chairman Simpson of the Republican
state committee has issued a statement
concerning the election, in which he
claims that Mr.. Cobb, the gubernator-
ial candidate, would carry the state by
a plurality of 10000 to $4,000.
Both parties expect to poll a very large
vote, and it is difficult to calculate plu-
ralities with any degree of certainty. Per-
lied upon considerably more than stump
speaking and flag raisings. In this line
of activity the Republicans have the adj
vantage There are many office holders
all over the state, and their efforts are
the more sincere and earnest, because, in
working for Republican success, they are
really working for themselves. On the
other hand, the Democratic OrganiZatio
is the best the state has had for twelve
years, although it lacks the direct incen-
tive which actuateS the local leaders Of
the Republicans. The Republican party
of the state has not at any election with
in twenty-five years polled so per cent of
the vote of the state. This indicates a
possible defeat were the opposition to get
out a full vote at a time when the Re
publicans are apathetic. This is not like
ly to occur at this time. As rule, DEM
ocratic enthusiasm stirs up Republicans
In 1898 the Republican plurality was large
but the vote only 2S.7 per cent of the total
eligible.
Since 1872 Names Republican pluralities
in national elections have ranged all the
way from s,s6S to 1911. and in state cleo
tions since 1884. from u, ,651 to 3S,9S7. The
average plurality in the last eight presi-
Dental elections is 23.795 and in the last
seven state elections 25, 230. The state
elections have been more even than the
national elections, but the plurality has
never reached the maximum of 45,T7
given Mckinley in 1896. The plurality in
the last state election 1902 was Is. 257.
If the plurality is over 2, 900, the Re-
publicans win have no cause for com
plant Indeed, in the circumstance the
plurality could be made small 20,-
coo without affording the Democrats any
Reports from many sections before
noon indicated a heavy vote especial
ly in the cities. Local issues were re-
sponsible for much splitting of votes.

81 WHEAT.
Is Freely Predicted on Chicago
Board of Trade.

Chicago. Sept. 12.-"Wheat at 81 a
busheI before May" was roared by the
bulls today on the board of trade. At
the opening of the market there was
an excited scramble for wheat with
few traders venturing to sell. The
price for May was from Ill Il to 112
and for delivery for the present
month from 1878 to los. Those who
wished to buy shouted bids of &c a
bushel above the prices prevailing at
the close of the market Saturday and
the quantity that any one would sell
even at a temptation was extremely
limited. The bureau at Washington
issued a report Saturday afternoon,
that according to bulls, confirmed the
worst fears regarding the lamentable
loss to the spring wheat crop by black
rust
OF winter and spring wheat pro-
duced this year in the United States, it
was contended there was barely
enough for bread and seed. if every
bushel of it was available, which is not
possible; and the country is therefore
face to face with the necessity of
bringing in foreign wheat to help keep
the wolf from the door till another
harvest shall have been raised.
At the high point of the day all
deliveries showed a gain of four cents
or more, as compared with Saturdays

strength was maintained to the end,
the market closing almost at the high

He Had a Plan to Catch General
IlisadEanfa

St. Petersburg Sept. y12.-3:4O D. m.-
No fresh light has been thrown on the
situation at the front. Unofficial in
formation tends to confirm the reports
that General Kuropatkin is withdraw
ing the bulk of his army northward from
Mukden. The rain continues at the
front. The three armies of Field Mar
shall Oyama are reported to have unit
ed north of the Taitse river, but there
is nothing yet to indicate that they
are sufficiently recuperated to resume
the advance. The best unofficial opin-
ion is that Kuropatkin does not con-
template making a serious stand at
Mulxden4
The spirit animating the Japanese
troops is shown by the translation of a
letter by a Spartan Japanese mother to
her son which has reached the war
office. The letter was found on the
body of her son. 1t adjured him to fight
nobly for the mikado and his country
and informed MIN that his capture
would be considered an everlasting dis
grace upon the family ancestors but
that if he died on the battlefield it
would be an honor which the family
would celebrate for week.
Russian correspondent says Kuro-
patkin's strategy was upset by the fail
ure of Major General Orloff to hold
General Kurokis extreme right. Ac-
cording to this correspondent General
Kuropatkin's plan was to catch Kuroki
after he had crossed the Taitse river by
a qEick and clever movement. Orloff's
mission was to attack desperately
September 2 the front of Kuroki's army
which had marched northwest to hold
him and if possible, to drive him back
toward Kuropatkin. while the latter,
severing Kuroki's communication, struck
with all his might at his flank and rear.
But Orloff was unequal to the task as
signed to him. His division mad just
arrived from Russia and its fighting
efficiency was not known. When he
struck Kuroki, Orloff was wounded ear
ly in the fight and was compelled to
hand over his command. To make the
matter worse the horse of his chief of
staff bolted. The division could not re-
sist the onslaught of Japans best
troops and gave way and retreated. In
the meanwhile Kuropatkin was just
his attack but when he found
the Japanese were turning his left he
was compelled to abandon the offensive,
withdrew and ordered a retreat. AS it
turned out, however, General Stakel-
berg had come to Orloff's rescue and
checked the Japanese fianking move
ment just before they reached Yentai.
Had Kuropatkin held on little longer
the fate of the day might have been
different, as this was the critical mo-
nent for Kuroki referred to in the dis
patches from the Japanese side.

BALTIC FLEET OFF.
Russia's Northern Fleet Sails for Seat
of War.

ST Petersburg. Sept 12.-The de-

east is officially announced. Admiral
Birileff, commander of the naval
forces at Cronstadt. will accompany
the fleet as far as Libau, from which
part this modern armada of almost
forty pennants will sail Immediately
for the Orient
The admiralty does not state how
long Admiral Rojvensky will stop at
Libau, but it is understood that it will
be only for a few days.
The plan for the cruise has been di-
vulged. Golfers accompany the fleet
for the purpose ofsupplying the torpedo
boat destroyers, whose steaming radius
is small. other colliers have already
sailed or are awaiting orders at for
eign ports to meet the squadron on the
way. All the vessels are equipped
with apparatus for coaling at sea-

to send out the fleet in the face of the
existing situation in the far east is evil
dence of the temper of the government
to prosecute the war to the finish. 1t
