Tactics Will Be Different From Those at LiaO Yang,
ACTIVITY AT PORT ARTHUR
Sensational Rumors Are Circulated to the Effect That the VIadivostok Cruisers Have Sailed
 Out.

While the Japanese are reported to he slowly advancing on Mukden, there has been no fghting worthy of note between the opposing armies under General kuro- ratkin and Marquis Oyama.
 The latter. according to the military critics at St. Petersburg, is likely to pursue tactics quite different from those essayed by the Japanese at Liao Yang, ani it .s expected the attack will come upon the Russian front and Hanks, rather than in the form of an enveloping move ment.
 Definite ineo- nation from Port Arthur is very meagre ani inconclusive. Russian spies aliega that considerable force has been detached from the Japanese army which captured lLao Yang, and sent back to aid in the orna tions against Port Ar thar. The fcriaation of seven Russian rifle trigades fa~ service in the far east has leen oruered,

TENNESSEE VOTE
 ANNOUNCED TODAY
MINERS VOTE ON THE PROPOSE. TON TO ACCEPT THE TERMS OF oPERAToRS-BoTH SIDES BE- LIEvE THEY WILL WIN OUT.

Knoxville. September 22.-Distriet of- fcials of the United Mine Workers met here today and canvassed the returns of the vote which was taken last Saturday throughout district 19 on the proposition of the operators to reduce the wage scale per cent. All the votes were canvassed. the job being completed tonight What the result of the ballot is cannot be learned as the officials refuse to give any inkling ing of the operators and miners tomorrow morning. Some of the operators profess to believe that the proposition has car ried and that a wage scale will be signed tomorrow.
 On the other hand, statements made by miners officials in the day give the irn- presslon that the proposition has met an overwhelming defeat. The mine workers say that even il the proposition is shown to be defeated by the returns that nego- tiations will not be at an end Accord- ing to the operators there are no grounds for such a statement, as they say they have made their last proposition, and they are through if the men do not accept it.
 In some instances 1t is believed that men employed in mines will surrender their charters and make direct wage scales with the operators without regard to the ac- ton of the union. Much opposition to the union officials has developed since they issued a circular counselling the men to vote to accept the operators proposition, and the present movement will undoubt- edly weaken the organization. no matter what the result of the balloting is.

MRS. E. B. KAY IS
 ROBBED OF $500
cHATELAlN BAG IS SNATcHED FROM SEAT OF PULLMAN CAR WHILE TRAIN WAS STANDING IN CINCINNATI.

Cincinnati September 22.-(special.)- Mrs. E. B. Kay of the University of Ala bama was robbed in a Pullman coach in the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton yards here today by an unidentified young man.

Japs Continue the Advance.

St. Petersburg, September 23 3:20 p. m.-The Japanese advance towards Muk- den continues today, according to in formation received by the authorities here. Both official reports and press dispatches place Marquis Oyamas ad- vance guard thirty miles south of Muk- den. while stories printed in the foreign press that a great battle at Mukden has already begun. are disproved by the ac- tual development at the scene of opera tions.
 There is no question in the minds of the Russian authorities of the importance of Mukden to the Japanese army as win ter base. 1. is expected the Japanese will exert every effort to push out the Rus sians. but it is thought the serious strug- gle for the possession of the town is still some days distant.
 The Japanese will probably have to reckon first with a stubborn defense of the Fushun mines, where the next im- portant fight is expected to take place.
 Judging by present developments. Mar uuis Olama is giving up the idea of cutting General Kuropatlxins communication to the northward, and contenting himself with advancing upon the Russian front and flank in such fashion as to force the evacuation of the two positions, and compel the Russians to retreat further north. The whole plan of the Japanese advance shows a considerable difference from the operations at Liao Yang. At the same time, 1t Is possible the Japanese are making undisclosed movements as they have successfully done in the past.
 Disposition of oyama's Forces.
 According to the best information, Oyama has the forces concentrated south and southwest of Mukden, a fourth corps consisting of two divisions being detach- ed to Dziantchan, and thence sending out fanking columns northward and north- eastward with the object of protecting Oyamas right and at the same time driving in the Russian outposts. An en- veloping movement on such a large scale as General ISuroki essayed at Liao Yang is not expected.
 Evidently the Japanese realize that their strength is inadequate to justify another attempt to surround General Kuropatkin, who is now stronger by two army corps than when he was at I.iao Yang
 The report has gained some credence here that it is the intention of the Jap anese to winter at Mukden if they can take the town, and then hold on until accumulation of Russian forces on their front compells them to retire to the I,iao Tung peninsula and Korea, the retreat in this direction drawing General Kuro- patkin after them
 Orders have been issued to prepare seven rifle brigades for service in the far east

PRESIDENTS TRAIN HAS AN ACCIDENT Narrow Escape from Disaster
 by Broken Wheel. ARRIVES IN WASHINGTON Train Was Only Running Three Miles an Hour and Had Just En-
 tered the Baltimore
 Tunnel.
ARRIVES IN WASHINGTON

Washington, September 22.-Presldent Roosevelt and party arrived here over the Pennsylvania railroad at 6:52 D. m from Oyster Bay The Presidents train was delayed about S6 minutes by an acci- dent to the rear driving wheel of the locomotive as 1t entered the tunnel at Baltimore This engine was immediately detached, and another was procured to pull the train to Washington. The acci- dent caused no damage to the train.
 Fortunately the train was proceeding at very slow rate of speed when the accident occurred or the result might have been much more serious. It was not making more than three miles an hour when in some unaccountable man ner the tire of the rear driving wheel on the left site of the engine broke and curled off.
 One end of it protruded upward and damned through the ,oiler of the engine, causing an almost immediate shutting on of the steam. This soon deadened the engine, and the engineer Joe Weatherby, realizing that something was wrong, promptly put on the airbrakes and the train came to a stop.
 Enqine Was Useless.
 A hurried investigation convinced the engineer that the engine was useless for further service and word was immediate ly sent to the yard to have another en- zine sent to the scene, and after delay of half an hour. another engine was at- tached to the train and it proceeded to Washington where it arrived without further accident.
 The cause of the tire breaSing accord ing to the railway officials, was quite inexplicable. The engine had been at tached to the train just before leaving Philadelphia, and had been thoroughly tested and found to be in tirst-class con dition. The accident, the railway officials say, is one of those which happen in spite of every precaution.
 The President and his party took the matter very cooly, and did not manifest any alarm. Some of the train crew went back to the Presidents car to shake hands with him on the run from Balti- more to " ashington, and in their DrleI conversation with him spoke of the ac- cident. The President, however, assured them that he had not been alarmed, and remarked that if all his troubles were as slight as that he would pc setuns along beautifully"
 First Accident on Train. | Today's accident is said to be the first which has happened to a train on which President Roosevelt has travelled dur l ing his administration.
 The President was given a cordial well come home by large crowd of people as he came through the trainshed, and walked out to the street where his car riage was waiting.
 The crowd lined both sides of the Sixth l street for long time before the train arrived and when he made his appear ance he was enthusiastically cheered. In | company with Mrs. Roosevelt and three of his children he was immediately driven | to the White House.
 l Senator Knox of Pennsylvania joined the party at Philadelphia and came on to Washington with them.

Eaulke Is Pleased.

William D. Foulke of Indiana arrived in Washington a few hours before the Pres ident today and lost no time in getting into print.
 Foulke was appointed a civil service commissioner by President Roosevelt and can't see how the President can lose 1n- diana He says he found many denio- crats who will vote for Roosevelt and many Bryan democrats who will not vote at all. But there is another story to the effect that Foulke is going to New York to tell Chairman Cortelyou and Treasurer Bliss a very different story about the situation in Indiana.
 The anti-Lafollette faction in Wiscon- sin being in with the administration has access to the campaign fund of the re- publican national committed Not little of the money which has been turned over to them is being spelt in sending out literature in the form of large campaign posters. All of 1t was devoted to attacks on Governor Lafollette. There is no ref erence to the democratic party state or national.
 With the first three months of the fiscal year lacking but one week of being over, the expenditures of the government have exceeded the receipts by over $21,- 100000. At the present rate there would be turned over to a democratic secretary of the treasury next March deficit of nearly s6o00O,OOU

Cutting Down Representation NH Be Active Issue,
MARYLAND IS ENCOURAGING
Democrats VIII Be Satisfied With Nothing Less Than Five of the consressmen-stuaton
 In Wisconsin.
BY PATTERSON srEALEY.

Washington. September 22.-(SpeeiaL)- )- Employes of the republican national committee are at work in Washington compiling statistics comparing the size of the usual vote in southern states with the population of these states, and the vote for various officers, especially mem bers of congress in the southern states as compared with the states in the north.
 According to politicians who profess to know. this means that the cutting down of southern representation in congress is going to be made an active issue in some of the close northern states. It is said this issue will be worked hard in Ill- nois Indiana, Wisconsin and other northern states where the c. o. P. is not too sure of winning.
 The plank on that subject in the repub- lican platform was placed there by the influence of President Roosevelt. He in- timated in his letter of acceptance. so the politicians point out. that it was not a bluff, but would mean the beginning of significant agitation upon this subject.
