As far as the salt marsh mosquitoes of
New Jersey are concerned the reason
appears TO be that the eggs of the insect
arc laid in the mud of the marshes, but
never in the water, and that whenever

NEGOTIATIONS UNDER WAY
II Packers Give Satisfactory Assur-
ances TO the Unions, the Whole
Affair VIII he Immediately
Settled Between Them.

Chicago. Sept. 6.-The indications
Monday night were that the stock yards
strike, begun two months ago, will be
called off within "a hours. Through
the medium of a m~iddleman, negotia.
tons were begun Monday in an effort
to secure an understanding with the
packers, on which the striking unions
can rely as a basis for abandoning the
strike Tuesday afternoon. 1t was ad-
mitted by Secretary Tracy of the AL
lied Trades council Of the unions on
strike, that a message opening up such
negotiations had been delivered to
representatives of the packing firms
by w. E. Skinner, general agent of the
Union Stock Yards & Transit Co, act
ing as a m%iddleman.
According to the plans, an answer is
to be submitted Tuesday by the pack
ers in time for it to be reported at
a special meeting of the Allied Trades
council. This meeting has been called
for early in the forenoon, Special
meetings for all the local unions in
volYed in the strike have been called
for Tuesday. If the packers give en-
couraging assurances to the strikers,
messengers will be sent at once to the
gatherings of the local bodies. The
unions, it Is said, will then vote on
disseminating the strike, and their ref
erendum vote will be reported at once
to the meeting of the Allied Trades
council.

THE FARRlS CASE CONTINUED
Continuation Was Based ON the Alb
sence of State Senate Orchard,
wanted as Il Witness.

Jefferson City, Mo, Sep. Gin the
circuit court, Monday. Judge Graves, Of
Butler, continued the case of State
Senator Frank H. Farris, charged with
bribery in connection with the baking
powder scandal in the state legislature,
until Monday, December Is. The case
was continued on the application of the
defendant on account of the absence Of
Former Senator James Orchard, who
had been ordered at the former trial to
appear as a witness. Senator Orchard
was chairman of the senate committee
to which the so-called "alum" bill was
referred in the legislature of 1890, when
Senator Farris was indicted on the
charge of accepting a. bride Of $1,0G0
to defeat it. His evidence was ma
terial to the defendant, since he de-
MED on a former trial that any at
tempts were made to defeat the bill
with his knowledge.
Judge Graves ordered an attachment
issued for Senator Orchard, and he
will be arrested and held to appear on
December 10. He is reported to be in
the state of Arkansas. The case
against Senator Charles A. Smith,
which was to have followed the Farris
case, was reset for December 81.

SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION.
Whole Russian Army IL Pushing On
Toward Mukden.

st. Petersburg, Sept. GA summary
Of the war situation to date shows that
the whole Russian army, or at least
the main portion of 1t, is already above
Yentai station and is pushing on to-
ward Mukden.
Field Marshal Oyama's entire army
has crossed the Taitse river, and part
of it Is hanging on to Kuropatkin's
flank.
A strong thanking column on the
east is pushing rapidly north, in the
effort to head off the Russians.
Against this column Kuropatkin has
sent out a strong cavalry division to
the northeast, which, 1t is believed, is
already in position to check the Jap
anese ~flankers, while to the westward
Kuropatkin is moving a division TO-
ward Sinmintin. 30 miles west Of Muk,
den, to meet any interference that
may be attempted from the direction
Of Yinkow or New Chwang.
Oyama's advance is reported to be
engaging the Russian rear, but 1t Is
not expected to develop anything more
serious than a series of real guard &C.
