oYAMA ENvELoPING MUKDEN
Fighting Must Begin Soon If Kuropat

ST. Petersburg, Sept. q, 7 pm The
latest development is the definite estab,
lishment of the fact that Field Marshal
Oyama has now begun to move his left

shows that the Japanese have reache6
Davan, on the west bank of the Lilac
river. A considerable concentration of
Japanese is observed at Sian-chan, on
the Hun river, thirty-fve miles south
west Of Mukden, and Japanese cavalry
is massing in the valley of the Pu river.
The latter is tributary Of the Hun,
which crosses the railway midway be-
tween Tie pass and Mukden, and may
furnish a natural line of advance from
the west.
Oyama g armies now apparently cover
front of sixty miles for enveloping
movements. His line extends from the
east to the west of Mukden, bending to
the south at the center: Thus far, the
Russians have noted little pressure from
his center. Oyama seems to be moving
with great elaboration, probably gath.
ering strength for rapid advance OF
both wings when an attempt is made
to close the net. Altho the imaginary
line connecting the extreme Japanese
advance east and west of Mukden still
passes ten miles below that city, it is
evident that the fate of Mukden can
not long be delayed. If General Kuro
patkin intends to hold the city, fighting
on his TANKS will begin almost immo
diately.

Ithaca, N. Y, Sept. 27.-Andrew D.
White, delegate to the Hague peace
conference, speaking of President

conference, said today that new sessions
of the peace conference to go on with
the work Of the original body in 1899
were taken for granted and not infre-
quently mentioned during the sessions
of the original conference.
"a new conference can hardly be
called, however, said Mr.. White, ''un-
til the close of the present war in the
east. No nation can then urge the con-
vening of such an assembly with more
propriety than the United States. A

Britain.

Pittsfeld, Mass, Sept. 27.-Hugh
Quincy, third secretary Of the British
embassy, was fined in the police court
at Lee on two charges, and redress must
be made to avoid complications with
England.
For contempt of court he was fined
$25. A similar fine was imposed in a
case charging him with speeding his
automobile in Stockbridge Sunday:
Mr.. Quincy, when arraigned, positive
ly- refused to plead, claiming that as
Z" he was the third secretary to his Brit
annie majesty he could not under inter-
national law be arrested or held for any
crime .s. .-.r
Special Justice Phelps said he did not
recognize international law in his court
and informed the defendant that he
must enter plea. Mr.. Quincy per-
imposed for contempt Of court.
Mr.. Quincy did not have in his pos
session sufficient money to pay the fine
and he was committed in the charge of
the officer who made the arrest. The
officer accompanied Mr.. Quincy to Len

gram in substance to the governor OF

he do whatever might be necessary to
secure the diplomatic immunity Of Mr.

! 1t is believed at the department that
the matter may be far more serious than
the local officials at Lee seem to regard
it. In the first: place, by constitutional
and statutory law the persons attached

from any legal responsibility and the
exemption even extends to domestic
servants. -. :--..~ -
