yesterday descended upon counter.
feiter's cabin in the woods nine miles
west of Tacoma and captured H. N.

been placed to dry only few minutes
before. Stone confessed his guilt
when confronted with the evidence but
maintained that he was only ''experi.
menting" and had not actually put
any of the counterfcit money into cir.

To Make Railways Safe.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Out. 12.-The
various railway companies of the
Dominion of Canada have agreed
among themselves, in response to a
circular from the railway commission,
to draft uniform set of rules to
govern the operation of trains. All
roads will be compelled to introduce
block safety systems wherever bust
ness is heavy enough to make it neces-
sary. Automat switching devices
will be insisted upon, so that sema-
phores will first denote danger before
switch is opened. Hand and light
signals will be made uniform on all
roads, and a rule will be introduced
that no train hand shall work more
than specified number of hours each
day whether he wants to or not.

BIG BATTLE RAGING.
Russian and Japanese Authorities Re-

TOXIC, Oct. PA batch of report
covering the fighting Of October 10,
published this evening, records seri-
Gus conflicts as various points along
the japanese front. There was des-
perate struggle in the neighborhood
of Benzihu where the Russians crossed
the Taitse river, and where the Jap
anese endeavored to entrap the in.
vaders.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 12.-Kuro.
patkln reports the battle below Muk-
den continues to rage along the entire
front today. When yesterdays fight
ing ended the Japanese were Offering
stubborn resistance, and had even ad-
vanced their positions. The artillery
bore the brunt of the fighting. The
Japanese stuck to their guns and the
Russian batteries were unable to dis.
lodge them. The frontal attack on
the Yentai mines developed desper-
ate battle, in which probably 100, 900
men are engaged; but while the dis
