Russian Authorities Expecting Jap
Diversion in That Direction.

| ST. Petersburg, Sept. 16.-Ne'vs from
J the front is exceedingly measer, and
the present lull irl operations in Man
churia is expected to continue for sew
eral weeks. All information received
regarding the condition of the Japan
!, ese armies has strengthened the con-
viction that Oyama will require consid-
cradle time to organize a new advance
and it is now believed he will probably
await reinforcements of men, and guns
| to make good his losses at Lao Yang.
These, it is reported, will be ready to
| leave Japan at the end of the month.
1t would create no surprise here if a
| Jaranese diversion is attempted in the
direction Of Vladivostok, to prepare the
way for a renewal of aggressive opera
tions against Mukden In the meantime
kuropatkin is also obtaining reinforce
lments A large number of guns and
some independent troops are on their
way to the front and the first detach-
ment of the Odessa corps is expected
| to leave tomorrow. A considerable
number of his troops have already gone
north The heights near Liao river at
Tie Pass have been fortified, the pass
has been secured and the cavalry is
scouting wide on the Russian f1anks to
signal the first indication Of new
turning movement on the part of the
ia panese. Only outpost skirmishes Of
little Importance have been reported.
The Japanese are now expected to
redouble their efforts before Port Ar
thur, whence the news received is not
encouraging. The garrison is UNDER
going severe privations and it's resist
ing power lis weakening under the
strain.
A final sortie of the Russian squad
ron at Port Arthur my be expected at
any time.

from the penitentiary at Fort Madison
under the terms Of his sentence and
the laws of the state. He has been
en- excellent prisoner and has earned
all the good time" possible for him.
If the conditions imposed upon his
incarceration by Governor Cummins
had not come into conflict with the
laws of the state and the decision of
tie supreme court, rShercliffe would
have two or three years more to serve.
1t is believed that the scheme Of GER
tain politicians interested In Suppress
ing the facts concerning the parole by
which Shercliffe was to be taken at
once out of the state ostensibly to be
tried in some other state for crime
Of some kind, has been fully abandoned.
But it is known that threats have been
made to him which led him to believe
his life is in danger if he goes free
from the prison and undertakes to tell
in court just what he knows about the
influence Of politicians in securing his
release and the connection Of Dennison
with the case. 1t is therefore probable
that he will be given fair chance to
defend himself when he leaves the
prison. If an attempt is made to kid
nap him or to lead him to join his old
comrades in his various nefarious
schemes, there will be trouble.
The letter of George E. Taylor, of
Ottumwa, in which he makes a plea
for negro party because Of an al.
legged lack of sympathy on the part of
the president, fell fiat among the large
number of colored people in Des
Moines.
"Taylor is one Of those fellows who
are always against everything" is the
way the matter was expressed by
William E. Coalson, messenger in
Governor Cummins' office. "He has
opposed neary everything that is be-
ing done for the colored people. He
is against Booker T. Washington's
work; but he has never suggested any
thing to take it's place. He has been
working with the democrats a good
many years, and now wants to stir up
trouble for everybody. His speech will
do no harm"
1t is not believed here that the re-
publican state committee is RESPONSE
BILE in any way for any letters sent to
federal office holders protected by
the civil service asking for contribu-
tions to the campaign fund to carry
Iowa. There is really no need for any
such soliciting. Most of the 1owans
who are interested in the party sue
cess make their contributions without
being solicited. Such accusations have
heen made before But the state COM
mittee has not been disturbed.
In Clayton county there is red hot,
campaign in progress for the republi-
can county nominations at the con-
vention Saturday. The issues are in
no wise factional but largely personal,
but there is such bitterness that it is
feared by republicans the success Of
