NOTHING BUT sKIRsnsHEs.
NO General Engagement Has Taken
Place Before Mukden.

St Petersburg, Nov. 1870 d. M
according to advices from the theater
OF war no general engagement has vet
begun There was some skirrnfshinp
yesterday but nothing serious. No
japanese offensive has deyeloped so
far, the official reports show, although
adV1ces from the extreme east are be-
lated General Kaulbars, who is to
succeed General Kuropatkin in com
mand of the First army, has arrived
here. He passed the entire day
closeted with the general staff and
with General Alexieff, director of the
bureau of operations studying the de-
tails of the campaign in the light of
secret dispatches and the war office
archives.
Kaulbers is a striking figure. tall.
stately soldier with a bronzed face set
off by a white moustache. His sitxy
years. sit lightly upon his vigorous
frame. He is considered to be a man
of great energy and resource and was
commander of a corps during the sup
preston of the Boxer rebellion in
China, but he did not play a con-
spicuous part. the lions share of the
fighting falling on General Linevitch.
Kaulbars is Kuropatkins personal Sc
lection. kaulbarS' reconstructed First
army will include the First, Tenth and
Seventeenth European corps, one
corps of rifles and two others not yet
designated. The Third army will be
composed of six Siberian corps under
General Linevitch.
When the present plans are realized,
which will not be earlier than the
spring, Russia will have three armies,
each of six corps, altogether over n
half million men in the far east: The
rifle battalions which are now begin
ming to start for the front will provide
two of the corps intended for the First
and Second armies.

PUzzLING SITUATION.
Neither Army Before Mukden Seems
Anxious to Begin Fight.

Mukden, Nov. 1.-The situation is
rather puzzling. Neither side appar-
emily is willing to assume genuine
offensiye although the japanese are
showing greater activity They are
fortifying themselves, however, as If
they intended to winter in their pres
ent positions. Two Russian cavalry
attachments on Friday night carried
out a reconnaissance along both sides
of the Hun river, in the direction of
Lone Tree hill. Firing from three
signal posts created great excitement
in the Japanese lines.
The weather is fine and crisp. The
curling smoke of camp fires is ev-
erywhere to be seen. Some of the
Russian officers scurry about in auto
mobiles Yesterday there was splen-
did spectacle. When Major General
Kondratvitch distributed 412 crosses

Many of the heroes designated for
decoration have since been killed or
are scattered in the various hospitals

New York, Nov. 1.-The stock market
was slow to take notice today of the
warlike preparations making at Gibral-

lack of initiative from that quarter
probably accounted for the delayed in

The early course of the market was up

Smith and Cunningham are the Re-
publican nominees and Judge S. H.
sion candidates. Aliens name is
printed opposite Smiths and Little's
name is opposite Cunningham on the
official ballot.
state committee asked the attorney
general If a voter could legally vote
for Smith on the Republican ticket
and Allen on the fusion ticket, or for
Cunningham and Little. Mr.. Coleman
holds that such a ballot will be legal.
He holds that a voter is entitled to
vote for two candidates to fill these
two offices, and he can vote for any
two he pleases. Mr.. Coleman says the
total number of votes for these candi-
dates shall be counted and the two
receiving the highest number will be

opera house here Monday afternoon.
This was the first Democratic meeting
held in Sumner county this campaign
and the largest of any political gather

Caldwell last night.
The fuSioniStS are reporting that E.
w Hoch has not always supported the
straight Republican ticket, notwith-
standing his advice to others to vote
the straight ticket this year or else get
out of the party. It is stated that in
1887 the late NJ. P. Simpson was the
Republican nominee for district judge
in the Twenty-fifth judicial district
which then included Marion county.
Mr. Hoch, it is alleged, bolted Simpson
and supported Judge Frank Doster,
since then Populist chief justice. Mr..
Hoch got out a special edition of his
paper in support of Doster. On another
occasion it is alleged that Mr.. Hoch
bolted the entire Republican ticket in
