No Trace of Mnrderers.

Chicago, Sept. 19.-The police have
secured no trace of the three hold-up
men who last night murdered Harold
Peterson, wholesale cigar dealer, in his
place of business and seriously wounded
William Potter, anegro porter. In SOME
respects the shooting recalled the City
Railway barn hold-up and murder, for
the bandits shot before Peterson had even
a chance to offer resistance. The hold
up occurred while the police of the Lake
street station, only three blocks away,
were responding to the roll call. 1t was
timed for the moment when the patrol
men were off the streets. Many persons
were passing the corner at the time. In
the store were Peterson, his sons Harold
and Alvin, his clerk, Emmett Knowles,
the porter and four customers. The rob-
bers were not masked. They entered the
store in a matter-of- fact way and closed
the door, breaking the rope with which it
was tied open. They then shot Peterson
and the porter, rihed the cash drawer and
escaDed.

SITUATION IN THE EAST.

Marshal Oyama, the japanese COM
mander-in-chief in Manchuria, has es-
tablished his headquarters IN Liaoyang,
and is pushing reinforcements and sup
plies northward with the evident inten-
ton of forcing the Russians into another
decisive battle in the vicinity of Mukden.
The three Japanese armies have been
united near the Taitse river, but this
move may be only blind.
The London Daily Mails correspond
ent with the japanese repeats from
Tientsin a report that Lieutenant Gen
eral Linevitch, with so, 900 men, invaded
northeastern Korea and cut General
Kuroki's communications with Feng
Wang Cheng
The correspondent at Tie Pass of a
st. Petersburg newspaper sends the sig
nifcant information that the japanese
are advancing rapidly, and that little
avails the Russian increase OF troops, as
the japanese are receiving reinforce
ments from Niuchwang.
With the exception of special die
patch to London paper, stating that
Gen Zassalitch, with a detachment Of
the Russian rear guard, has been de-
feated and captured by the japanese,
the sanguinary side of the Russo-Jap-
anese conflict is not now in evidence,
and with the practical suspension OF
news from the front the interest for the
time being centers in rumors-that
VicerOy Alexief has resigned, as report
ed Sunday; that Gen. Kuropatkin is to
be replaced by Lieut.. Gen. Linevitch,
now in command of the forces at Vladi-
vostok, and other statements which can
not be traced to authentic sources, but
all of which, if true, would have most
important bearing on the situation.
One Russian correspondent points out
that when the japanese withdraw from
the Russian front it iS:.usually the pre-.
cursor of their appearance on the TANKS,
and he thinks the indications point to a
winter campaign. Interest again turns
to Port Arthur, and to the effect which
the Russian defeat at Liaoyang is likely
to have on the garrison there, and the
fear is expressed that the siege will soon
end in disaster for Russian arms.
The London Morning Post states that
official Russian dispatches, received in
London, announce that Gen. Zassalitcb,
who commanded the portion of the Rus
sian rear guard south of Hum river, has
been severely wounded and captured, |
with 5000 out of his 5000 men. 1t is
added by the Morning Post that Gems.

JAPAN PROTESTS.

The expected protest of Japan against
allowing the Russian auxiliary cruiser
Lena. which arrived at San Francisco
Sunday, to remain longer than "A hours
came yesterday, when the japanese con-
sui in that city, through the collector of
customs, made formal demand that the
vessel be required to leave at the end Of
that time. Secretary Morton has tele-
graphed Rear Admiral Goodrich, COM
mander-in-chief of the Pacific station,
directing him to detain the Pacific squad
ron at San Francisco and to inquire Of
the commander of the Lena what his in
tentions are.
Officials of the State, Navy and Treas
ury Departments, at Washington, dis
cussed the matter, and the authorities at
San Francisco were instructed to have
a rigid examination made Of the ship.
If the Russian captains claim that
repairs are absolutely necessary is not
justified he will be ordered to leave
Immediately. Officers of the cruiser
say they expect orders to disarm the
vessel and leave it at San Francisco IN
til war is over, as was done in the
case Of the japanese warships at Shang-
hai.
