The general impression was that we

armies required a days rest In fifty
hours Oku had made four general as

CROP SHORTAGE
MAKES HIGH PRICES
Uncertainty Over the American Crop
Causes Small Orders for Flour

Daniel Mcconnell, of London, who
represents dozen Minneapolis -four
manufacturing concerns in the old
world, says that with the high price of
flour and the fluctuations in wheat it
is impossible for an agent in London
to do business at a profit. The small
wheat crop in the United States makes
the market most uncertain quantity.
There are large supplies from Ar
gentina, Russia and India, and while
the market has been profitable one
for the gambler if he has been on the
right side of the proposition, it has
been difficult one for the legitimate
dealer.
Our greatest hope" said he yester-
day, lis that the American crop has
been underestimated and the price will
break and come down to a. competitive
level
Mr.. Mcconnell asserts the London
clause" which imposes a tax of 6 cents
a sack on American flour, will not be
removed so long as the big yields of
other countries leave England inde-
pendent of the American -four produc-
erS.

GEN. KUROPATKIN
WILL HAVE HELP

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 9.-Besides
the formation OF. two fresh army corps as
the first answer, to the japanese success
at Liau-yang, the Russian army at the
front will be reorganized, probably in the
form of two armies, in command of Gen.
Linevitch and Gen. Baron Kaulbars, re-
spectively, with Gen. Kuropatkin as COM
mander-in- chief. Gen. Kaulbars will go
out with the two army corps now organiz-
ing IN the governments of Kazan, Odessa,
Wilma and Kiev. Gen. Linevitch has been
ordered by telegraph from Vladivostok to
Mukden. This decision is due in part,
doubtless, to the growing unWieldiness of
the big force of Gen. EUROPA kin's COM
mand, which will be largely increased by
constant reinforcements.
Gen. Kuropatkin heretofore has ham
died every detail of the vast organization.
The work Is too much for one man. and he
is. now almost broken down under the
strain. 1t Is known that the car is per-
sonally one of -Kuropatkin's strong sup
porters, and it is thought the general will
In all probability retain chief command
OF the two armies. Kuropatkin, hdlk
ever, has been adversely criticised by
some OF the cars close military advis-
eers and it is possible that he may eyentu-
ally be superseded. \
There is little information from the
front tonight A dispatch from Mukden
bearing Thursdays date repeats the story
of bad roads, which have. hampered the
transport, and intimates that there is
an interesting movement toward Tie

is not disclosed.

HAS MANIA FOR BEING
TREATED IN HOSPITALS
Miss TrelIis Ward Hurt Under cir-
cumstances Now Familiar

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-Trellis Ward,
a young woman who seems to have a
mania for hospital life and whose
strange actions have puzzled the police
of many cities, turned up at a. m.
yesterday in Jersey City, where she is
now in the city hospital.
Railroad men found her lying. beside
the track near Meadowbrook, N J.
She told them she had been hurt in a.
freight wreck. AT the hospital she at
first refused her name, but recog-
nized as having been treated there
about year ago under similar circum-
stances. Later she gave her name, said
she was an actress and did not want
her husband to know she had been in
jured. She said she had come from
Philadelphia and had been obliged to
walk around some wrecked freight cars
in doing which she had fallen and hurt
her hip.
Trellis Ward appeared in Colorado a
year or more ago, giving her name as
Cleveland. She was cared for in hos
pitfalls at Denver, Boulder and Pueblo,
each time the supposed victim of an
accident. In each case, it was later
asserted, she feigned injury after
throwing herself from the steps of a.
street or railway car.
When treated in Jersey City a year
ago she said she lived in Twenty-sec-
ond street, Manhattan.

The other end of the tube was attached
to a gas burner overhead and the gas was

gas and then politely inquired what the
trouble was.
