Removed.
THE SLOCUM DISASTER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-President
Roosevelt has removed from office
Robert S. Rode, supervising inspector
of the steamboat inspection service
Second district, located at New York.
This action was taken on account of
the disclosures in the report of the ma
tional commission appointed 10 investi-
gate the General Slocum disaster.
In accordance with the presidents
directions and In consonance with the
recommendations with the Slocum
commission Secretary Metcalf of the
department Of commerce and labor has
taken preliminary ,steps toward the
removal of James A. Dumont, inspect
or of hulls, and Thomas Fl. Barrett, in
spector of boilers, both of the port Of
New York. Statements of charges
against them have been forwarded to
them. The charges are based on the
findings of the commission which in
vestigated the disaster to the General
Slocum.
They are charged with neglect of
duty, mCompetency and ineliiciency.
They will be required under the civil
service regulations to make answer to
the charges within reasonable time"
the precise time being left to the dis
erection of Secretary Metcalf. II is ex-
pected that the answers of both Du-
mont and Barrett will be received by
Secretary Metcalf this week.
1t was not known to President Roose-
welt that Supervising Inspector Rode

1t was supposed by the president when
he wrote his letter to Secretary Metcalf
on the Slocum report that Rode was
an appointee of the secretary of com
merce and labor. For that reason he
directed the secretary in that letter to
take steps for the removal of Rode,
DumOnt and Barrett. As soon as he
learned that Rode held a presidential
Office he gave directions that removal

Toxic, Oct. Monday night the

The Japanese were not expecting TO
find the Russians in force enough to
take the offensive and at first fell back
but rallied and after three hours of
severe fighting, the Russians were ev-
erywhere repulsed and put to flight.
This attack is believed to be desper-
ate strategy on the part OF Kuropat-
kin to save his rear from humiliation.
The result has been to change tie

LONDON. Oct 1S-Advices from St
Petersburg this morning say that the
news from the front is more reassur
ing from the Russian standpoint The
situation Is still regarded as being
critical, but General Kuropatkin is APP
parently holding the japanese firmly

having recrossed the Shakhe river. and
while there are rumors OF an extensive
Japanese banking movement both on
the east and on the west there is no
evidence that they are actually occur

been heard from with an account of a
four days fight In front of Tumin and
Saitchoun passes, resulting in the final
withdrawal of the strong Russian col
umn which had been sent 10 turn the
Japanese right, though General Mischt-
scbenko seems to have actually pene-
trated considerable distance inside
the japanese lines The report of the
operations of the Russian left wing is
still three days old, and since that
time no news has been received.
General Kuropatkin has slightly adj
vanced hts center, reoccupying Shakhe
south OF the Shakhe river. =, Directly
behind him at distance of nine miles
lies the Hun river, and across the
bridges spanning this stream the Rus
slams must retire in case they retreat
on Mukden.> General Kuropatkin must
continue TO firmly hold his center and
right flank in order to prevent the Jap
aneSe getting possession of the Hun
river bridges. Thus he will cover the
withdrawal OF his apparently beaten
west wing.
General Grippenberg, who has arriv-
ed at ST. Petersburg. will go 10 the
front to assume the command of the
Second Manchurian army.
Advices from Mukden say that the
Russians were not only successful in
the fighting on their right, but carried
out some brilliant movements on the
left, where they assumed an energetic
offensive against the Japanese position

Lonely Tree hill is situated near |
Shakhe, about three miles west of the
