army:
Emperor Nicholas has sent the fol-
lowing autograph letter to General
Grippenberg:
The intense energy with which ia.
pan Ia conducting the war and the stub
bornness and high warlike qualities
displayed by the Japanese impel me to
considerably strengthen the forces at
the front in order to attain decisive
success in the shortest possible time.
Since by this Increase the units will
reach a figure making their continu
ance in one army impossible without
prejudice to the proper direction, ma
neuvering and mobility of the troops,
have found it necessary to divide the
active forces in Manchuria into two
armies. leaving one in the hands OF
General Kuropatkin. | appoint you to
command the second. Your many
years service in warlike exploits and
your experience in training troops as
sure me that you. following the general
directions OF the commanderin-chie
will be successful and lead to the at
tainment of the objects of the war the
army intrusted to you.

glorious services to me and to Russia

news of the appointment Of Judge
Holt of the United States District
Court at New York of Alfred Rocker.
Jr. as receiver of the General Metals
Company of New York. owning and
operating the Telluride reduction mill
at Colorado City. reached here to-day
and caused surprise to local business
and mining circles. few being aware
that the company was in trouble.
The plant at Colorado City, which
is now in the hands Of creditors rep
resented by Lunt, Brooks and Wilcox
and Hall, Babbitt & Thayer. local law
firms. is still in operation, but will be
closed down within the next few days.
as soon as the ore now in process of
treatment shall have been completed.
One hundred and twenty-five work
men will be thrown out of employment
and the legal representatives of the
creditors state that they have no idea
when the plant will reopen. such &C.
tion being entirely dependent upon the
plans of the receiver. In the event
that the directors Of the General Met
ais Company make satisfactory set
tlement, it is probable that the plant
will be reopened shortly.

Chicago. Sept 27.-Nine thousand
men returned to work without union
rogulations of any sort yesterday when
the three Chicago branches of the In
ternational Harvest Works and the
Pullman Company reOpened their shops
after shutdown of two weeks.
The men not only returned to their
former places as individuals. but they
also agreed to reductions in pay of ten
TO twenty per cent.
Before the shutdown the Interna-
tional Harvester Works recognized the
labor unions, but with the announce
ment Of a resumption Of work yestcr-
day came the statement that the com
pany would not renew its agreement
with the trades unions, and that the
p!ants would be operated on a basis of
tfty-seven and onehalf hours week
instead of fifty-four with no increase in
wages.
The Pullman company announced to-
lay that it would reopen its shops, but
at wage reduction of ten to twenty
per cent.
Less than 1000 workers were given
heir former positions. but these men
willingly accepted the decrease in pay
and several thousand of the former EN-
p!oyes left the yards Of the company
io-night, bitterly disappointed be-
rause they could not return to work
eyen at the reduction in wages.
1t is the intention of the Pullman
cOmpany to have its plants in full op-
ration by next Monday. Work was
resumed to-day only in the car repair

George |. TuttIe Dead.

Denver. Sept. ga Republican
special from Akron. Colorado. last
night says: George I. Tuttle, one of
the men recently convicted of the
murder of Joseph Meenan, was found
dead this evening at his ranch house
nine miles northeast OF Akron. The
dead man was found with his feet on
the floor and his head lying on his bed
with all his clothes on. His death
was due to asthma. He had been dead
probably forty-eight hours before his
body was discovered.
The deceased was pioneer of this
county and for many years bore the
title of the Cattle King of Eastern
Colorado" The slump in cattle
prices during the past five years has
practically ruined Tuttle financially.
He was flfty-six years of age and for
many years was the sheriff of Wash
ington county. He leaves a widow ami
four children. His friends have stead
fastly maintained their belief in Tut
ties innocence.
Since the range feud began less than
two years ago three men are dead and

Tennessee Railroad Disaster.

Knoxville. Tenn. Sept. 25.-Run-
ming on a roadbed in a supposedly
high condition of maintenance and
having about them every safeguard
known to Il modern railroad two
trains on the Southern railway, car
rying heavy lists of ,,lssengcrs. came
together in a frightiul heah-end col
liSion near Hodges, I cnneSscc, yester-
day. sending tifty-four people to death
and njuring 800 several of whom
will propably die. Some Of the bodies
have not yet been recovered and many
remain unidentified.
This appalling loss Of life anh
manning of the living resulted appar-
emily from the disregard Of orders
given to the two trains to meet at a
station which has for a long time been
their regular meeting point. This
action on the part Of the engineer OF
the wcstbound train Is made more in
explicable by the fact that the acci-
dent happened in broad daylight. and.
according to the best Information OBJ
tainable he had the order in little
frame in front of him as his engine
rushed by the station and mile and
half farther on came full upon an
eaStbOund passenger train.
The possibility exists that the i'll
fated engineer may have been asleep

DEADLY ASSAULT
PResAoEs PORT AR1AUR's DOOM
Japanese Take Three Russian Posi-
.ions.-eesie0ers Suffer Heavy
Losses.-lmportant Forts Threat
aned.

Chee Foo, Sept. 26-As a result OF
gan September 18th. the Japanese sue
ceeded in capturing several important
positions and to-day the Russian ten
ure OF the big forts guarding the north,
northeast and northwest sides of the
town is seriously threatened.
Chinese information places the Jap
anese losses under 5000 for the three
days fighting and this comparatively
small casualty list is due to the e1ces-
sive care used by the Japanese in max
ing their preparations for the advance.
Russian sources, however, claim to
have information that the japanese
losses were unusually severe. amount
ing to fully three times the number
mentioned above.
Possibly the most important capture
during three days fighting was that OF
Fort kuropatkin. which. while of minor
value with regard to preventing the
entrance into the town of the Japanese.
had been constructed for the purpose OF
protecting the source of the garriSon's
water supply. The control of this wa
ter supply is now in the hands of tho
japanese.
AS was announced in these dispatches
September Goth. tbe battle began before
daybreak September 10Th. At this hour
the citizens and the garrison of Port
Arthur. after the enjoyment Of weeks
of comparative security, awoke to the
thunderous reports of artillery along
the line extending from the west OF the
Itz mountains to Rihlung and kikwan
mountains.
This was but preface to the assault
which was destined to result in the
capture of three new and important
Russian positions, together with six
small annoying forts lying between
Shusiyen and Rihlung mountains.
Military experts here are of the opin-
ion that II the japanese capture either
the Rihlung or kikwan forts, or the ltz
and Anshu forts. that the doom OF Port
Arthur is sealed, and for this reason
the Importance of the results obtained
by the Japanese IN their latest assaults
upon the Russian positions is obvious.
