SWEEPING CHANGES MADE.
sviatopoIk-Mlrsky Becomes Russian
Minister of Interior.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 30.-Prince
Peter Sviatopolk-Mursky assumed ac-
tive direction of the ministry of the
interior during the day. 1t is already
apparent that there will be almost a
clean sweep of the old Won Plehve
regime. A number of the old. lieuten-
ants with the former minister have
resigned. Both the chief of the gen.
darmerie and the secretary of state for
Finland, which powerful Offices the
late Won Plehve accumulated, will be
divorced from the ministry Of the in
terror, the new minister having firmly
refused to have any connection with

under secretary of state and director

appointed secretary of state for Fin.
land. IIe Is distinctly man of mod
crate views. General Ridzevsky, it is
also believed, will be chosen chief of
the gendarmerie, which will become
an Independent department. Rid
zevsky has just resigned the impor-
tant position of chief secretary of the
minister of the imperial household in
order to be able to accept the position
of chief Of the gendarmerie.
The speech Of Prince Sviatopolk-
Mlrsky at his reception Of the officials
of the ministry of the interior is bound
to produce deep impression in Russia
and be interpreted as the harbinger of
a mild and broad regime.

SPEAKS AT MlssoULA.
Senator Fairbanks Concludes his Tour
of Montana.

OF Montana.
Missoula, Mont, Sept. 30.-With q
stop of an hour at this point Senator
Fairbanks concluded his four days
speaking tour Of the state of Montana.
The early hour at which the meet
ing was held did not have the effect of
preventing a large attendance or of
diminishing the ardor of those who
were there.
Senator Fairbanks made an argu.
ment for the retention of the Repub-
lican party in power, saying that it
had shown it's capacity by the record
already made, and urging that it's rec.
ord in the past is the best guarantee
for the future. He contended that all
it's policy had been demonstrated to
the interest of all classes of our peo.
pie, hence the unwisdom of change,
which could but lead to experiments
along lines that had already proved
disastrous.

After Engagement with Korean Troops
They Burn the shrines-Telesraphic
Communication with New Chwans
Interrupted.

ST. PETERSBURG-There are An
dications that General Kuropatkin is
preparing to make a very important
move against the enemy.
One of the reasons for this belief
is the suddenly increased restrictions
upon the war correspondents at the
front.
The prevailing belief here is that
General Kuroi's army is in difficulties.
SEOUL, Korea-A telegram has
been received here from Gen San, on
the east coast of Korea, saying that
the Russians, after the engagement
with Korean troops at Ham Heung, on
May 10, burned the shrines and the
royal mausoeum which were erected
there by the founder of the present
Korean dynasty in the year 1865, and
which were regarded by the Koreans
as sacred. This apparent wanton des-
with the spirit of ancestor worship
has caused excited denunciation of
the Russians on the part of the Seoul
officials. (Ham Heung is on the coast
of Korea and about fifty miles north
of Gen SAM
The Cossacks which are believed to
be at Kyong Song have, according to
Korean reports, about twenty guns
with them If this Is true this artil-
lery probably is composed of trans
Baikal horse batteries, several of
which were attached to the First corps
at Vladivostok before the war.
A Japanese who has returned here
from Yongampho reports that there
are only few Japanese troops there
The people are quiet, but they do not
welcome the Japanese occupation be-
cause of the severity of the military
authorities. The Russians left many
thousand feet of useful timber at
Yongampho.
There are not more than 5000 sol
diers in the garrison at Seoul. Bar
racks which heretofore were filled are
now vacant, the troops having gone
north to Anju. The local gendarmes
are being transferred TO Yongampho,
Wiju and An Tung.
ST. PETERSBURG Telegraphic
communication with New Chwang is
interrupted, and private messages for
points south of Lao Yang are refused
here at the telegraph office.
The nature of the interruption with
New Chwang is not known, but the
cause for refusing messages south of
Lao Yang is the complete absorption
of the lines for military purposes.

"The press dispatches put the loss

probably be less than 100000 1t is
fully covered by insurance. The work
of rebuilding is to commence at once,

PORT ARTHUR TO BE SToRMED.

Japs Have Concluded They Must Take
the Stronghold.
CHICAGO.-A special to the Daily
News from Toxic saws:
Port Arthur is to be taken by storm
the moment proper preparations have
been completed. Siege guns have yet
to be placed in position and the land
forces appointed for the assault have
to be strengthened. The unexpected
loss of two fine vessels have empha-
sized the insecurity of sea power and
the authorities feel that no chances
must be taken that would encourage
Russia to send out the Baltic sea fleet,
counting on finding harbor of refuge
in Port Arthur.
1t is realized that the storming of
the fortress will inevitably cost many
lives, but it is said that the waters
where the Japanese ships are forced
to maneuver are becoming so dan
gerous because Of floating mines that
heroic measures are imperative. I'm
der these circumstances it is thought
that life will be economical by storm
ing the stronghold and eliminating it
and the adjacent waters from the area
of actual conflict.

WILL VENEZUELA REPUDIATE?
Country Being Fortified and uneasi.
ness Felt.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Military
measures on a large scale begun re-
Gently by Venezuela are giving rise
to a great deal of uneasiness and ap-
prehension here. 1t is stated that a
French company sold Castro's govern
ment 100000 livres' worth of artil-
lery, which is being placed in forti-
fications at Puerto Cabello and other
important coast ports. The company
also contracted to supply force of
skilled artillerymen to man the guns
for certain period.
Just what this expensive armament
means, when Venezuela is so poor, is
matter of speculation here and there
is some fear it is the forerunner of a
reputation by Venezuela of liability
for further payments of installments
of indemnity under the awards of the
recent arbitrations.
