Explanation of the story.

Washington. Oct 21.--The reported seizure by the United States of the custom house at ,Puerta Plata presum- ably arises from the already accom- . plished or contemplated occupation of that port by an American designated by the commission which awarded to the Santo Domingo Improvement Conn pany $i,50o.000 damages against Ssnto Domingo. That award was automatic ally selfexecuting and provided that if Santo Domingo failed to pay the award the agent named by the comn1ls- sion was to take charge of four of the customs ports of the island and apply 60 per cent of the revenues to the pay ment of the claims The affair Is not one in which the United States Govern ment is interested. except in the con tIngency that the Government of Santo Domingo falls entirely to meet It's ob- ligation to the improvement company, and then only to the extent of seeing that its interests shall not suffer through such neglect.

 St. Petersburg, Oct. 22.--(2 a. m. The rival armies of Russia and Ja- pan, entrenched short distance from each other near the shakhe river, are forced to continue inactive until the fine weather now prevailing dries the sodden ground and the tired warriors are sufficietiy rested to resume active operations.
 A dispatch from Mukdsn says that the Russians yesterday confined them selves to a bombardment of Shakhe station and the adjoining village of Lamatung. the Japai1ese feebly re- spending. This news clears up an in- teresting point and shows that Shakhe station Is not held by the Russians.
 Russian correspondents report that some regiments of the 5th Siberian Corps have been engaged in slight skirmishes on the advance line the last few days. The fact that the first and fifth Siberian were the only corps hitherto unmentioned in reports of the fighting to October is show that Gen. eraI Kuropatikin has sent the reserves to the trenches, giving other much tried corps q thornugs srest.
 a~ Meanwhile stka sCossaclSy ire ra.ding the Japanese lines. It. has been de- veloped that after the Lone Tree rout. the Japanese were unable to remove a number of cannon left on the hill and which remained midway between the Russia and Japanese trenches. As they lay these guns were so exposed to fire from both sides that 1t was im- possible for either Russians or Japa- nese to get possession of them during daylight and repeated attempts have been made by both sides to secure the guns under cover of darkness.
 Up to the present time Cossack de- tachments have succeeded in getting several of these cannon.

Tennessee synod Favors Uniacation of
 Colleges.

Knoxville. Tenn. Oct 21.-The Ten- nessee synod of the Southern Presby- terian Church. in session here. passed a resolution by vote of 3T to Ss. con- demning the action of the directors of the Southwestern Presbyterian Univer- sity at Clarksville. Tenn. in claiming power to elect new directors and to absolutely control the university. The resolution also claims for the synods of Tennessee, Alabama. Mississippi and Louisiana. the right to control the affairs of the institution.
 This action of the local Tennessee synod Is, in effect. an endorsement of the plan to remove the university from Clarksville to Atlanta. the question of control etc. having grown out of an injunction secured by the directors of the university inhibiting the synod from taking any action in regard to the removal of the university from Ciarks- vile.
 It is proposed to consolidate the Clarksville institution and the theolog- ical seminary now at Columbia, g. C., into one grand university at Atlanta.

Prince MIrsIky shows the Sincerity of
 His Promises.

St. Petersburg. Oct. 22.--(2:51 a. m.)--- Prince Mirsky, following out the promises he made upon assuming the ministry of the interior regarding the imperial manifesto of 1908, has invited all classes and especially the Zemstovs and peasants to choose representatives to sit with the commission which is considering revision of the peasant law.
 The manifesto contemplated the CO., operation of all classes including the Zefnstoys in this important work, one of the purposes of which Is to secure additional privileges for the peasantss especially with the view to giving them an opportunity of divorcing themselves from the village communes.
 M. PhIeve treated this portion of the manifesto as dead letter, imposing the duty of choosing representatives upon the provincial governors who were practically his own appointees or at least always under his immediate com trol. over eighty volumes represent the material recommendations of tho local governments on this subject.

SW|NDLER

New York Dec 3O-The Rev. DR..
Charles s. woodruff. the Methodist min
lister, OF Bloomfield, n. j., and the Rev
DIR. Edwin A. White. an Episcopal min
lister, walked arm In arm into the Bloom
field postofflce, thinking of the season
beautiful sentiments. Suddenly out OF
his window came the head Of Postmaster
Heath.
Seize that mani" he yelled TO the two
clergymen, pointing 10 man standing at
the window.
Heath being a parLshioner OF DR. Wood
run the dominic knew that he was In
earnest and acted quickly by grabbing
the man by the collar.
The man struck at him. but the arm
OF DIR. White was there to block the blow.
Between them the two ministers pinioned
the man as neatly as two policemen could
have done II.
Postmaster Heath meanwhile had run
for a policeman. and had found Detective
Bayliss. who took the man Off the hands
OF the ministers.
Then Postmaster Heath explained that
the prisoner had presented two money
orders made payable TO the Rev. DR..
Woodruff saying that he was his brother.
Heath did not dare leave the office TO
get help, so he told the man 10 walt
a minute. The appearance OF Dr. Wood
run himself and his fellow minister was
regarded as little short OF providential
by the devout postmaster.
The prisoner gave several names, but
It was learned that he Is John Schmidt,
a lodger at the Salvation army head
quarters In Newark. The police think he
stole the money orders from a mail box.
His pockets were filled with religious
literature and Christmas poems.
