Rome, Sept. 29.-The St. Peters Peters

nan d;ng hattie of Mukden General
Kuronatkin will have force equal, II
not snperio-. to that of the enemy. The
Russian force, he says, will amount to
95O 600 men, with 800 guns, of whom
6o 600 are at Sin Min Ting, and l2O, 900
along the Hun Ho. The first army
faces south from Mukden. Besides
these there are 10000 Russians at Tie
Ling, to the north of the city, on the
banks of the Lao. The japanese force,
he adds, is estimated at $50, 900 men,
with 1000 guns.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 29. -Despond
ency regarding the situation in
Port Arthur is becoming more pro-
nounced daily. Grounds for this
feeling of pessimism have been adj
ded to in the past few days by
the entire absence OF news from Gener-
al Stoessel. Heretofore the Russian
commander has been able to get home
some word through means of vessels
to Chefoo, but it is now stated the Jap
anese blockade is perfect and all junks
or other vessels coming out OF Port Ar
thur or attempting to enter the Port,
are sent to Dalny. 1t is also understood
in official quarters that fresh japanese
reinforcements are continually arriving
outside the besieged city, thus relieving
their faded comrades. The Russians,
however have no rest.
London, Sept. 29.-The Central News
has a dispatch from st. Petersburg,
stating that kilograms received in the
Russian capital from the front indicate
that the japanese are making an advance
along the entire Russian front. The
Chinese in the neighborhood are flock
ing to Mukden.

respondent of The Exchange Telegraph
Company, wires that telegram received

Russian warship made sortie from
Port Arthur today. She was quickly

obliged to re.enter the harbor. The
warship was badly damaged.

Launch OF Battleship Connecticut.

Launch of Battleship Connecticut.
Brooklyn Navy Yard, New York,
Sept. 29.-Amid the cheers of thous.
ands of spectators the waving OF flags,
and the booming of cannon, the battle
ship Connecticut, designed to be the
best and most impressive fighting ma.
chine aeoat, on the worlds seas, was
successfully launchedi at 11;l6 this
morning.
81 christen thee, Connecticut" cried
Miss Welles, and with the words, threw
or rather pushed the bottle against the
ships bow. 1t did not break, and Ad-
miral Rodgers made wild grab to Sc
cure the bottle again, but the Connecti-
cut sped along as if eager to rest in her
natural element, and the Admiral miss
ed it by yard Miss Welles hid her
face in her bouquet. A jack ltar high
on the bow of the Connecticut saw the
failure and swining himself over the side
grasped the cord and with swing on
his arm that might have started plate
smashed the bottle and sent the fOaming
champagne flying over tie bow and into
the air.
When the battleship Connecticut is
completed, she will be the most power
full fighting engine in the United States
navy. A comparison with the best
ships of other nations shows that the
Connecticut would more than hold her
own in battle against any ship in the
world. The Connecticut is the only
first class battleship in the navy that
has been built at a government yard.
The Connecticut has length at load
water line OF $50 feet and an extreme
breadth of 76 feet ten inches. She will
have displacement of Is, 600 tons, and
a trial speed at sea for hours, of Is knots
The hull of the ship is of steel through
out. The main battery of the Connec-
ticut will consist of four 12-inch breech-
loading rifles; eight S-inch breech load
ing rifles, and twelve Finch breech load
ing rifles. Her secondary battery will
consist of twenty 3inch rapid firing guns;
twelve 3-pOunder semi-automatic guns;
six l-pounder automatic guns; two l.
FOUNDER semi-automatic guns; two g.
inch field pieces; two machine guns, and
six automatic guns. The Connecticut
will be amply provided with defensive
armor, az 'sc,! az with offensive engines
Of war. The hull is to be protected at
the water line by complete belt Of
armor 9 to IL inches thick, having a
maximum thickness of IL inches amid
ships. The decks and sides of the ship
will also be well protected by the best OF
armor and it is believed the Connecticut
will be able to withstand the attack of
any warship ever constructed. In
addition TO her guns she will Lave four
submerged torpedo tubes, which have
been added to the armament since the
original plans we're made, partly because
of successful torpedo attacks in the Rus
so-Japanese war.

Attemptea wife Murder and Suicide.

New York, Sept. 29. Phillip Stribel,
sixty-three years old, of Newark, stabbed
his wife, Theresa, fifty years old, in the
neck on the rear porch of their home
last night, and then plunged the blade
into his heart and died instantly. The
resa Stribel, sixteen, a daughter of the
couple, had her hand badly cut while
trying to prevent the tragedy. Mrs.
Stribel was removed to a hospital in
dying condition. Stribe had frequently
threatened his wife's life, and on Sunday,
fearing be would carry out the threat, she
persuaded John Beghlsr, friend, and
his 6sncee, Miss Kate Hermann, to
spend the night with her. Stribel on
the following morning accused his wife
and Beghler of intimacy, and they were
committed for the grand jury. Yester-
day Mrs. Stribel got bail, and with her
daughter went to the house to remove
some of her things, Stritel appeared and
quarrel ensued, ending with the
double tragedy. The couple have four
other children, all married.

RACE TROUBLES are still in evidence
in the southern country. The Gazette
yesterday announced that eighty ne
groes, thirty of them women, arrived at
lIsrrodsburg, KY, from South Fork,
which place they we're ordered by
the whites TO leave because a ne
gress stabbed a farmers wife. The
negro men were working on a rail-
road near South Fork. One of the women
at the railroad camp went to farmhouse
and demanded lunch. This was given
to her, and while the hostess back was
turned the negro woman snatched some
clothing and ran away. The farmers
wife pursued and caught her, but was
stabbed by the negress. The news OF the
affair spread rapidly, and in short time
a posse of 200 white men had driven all
the negroes from the vicinity. The
blacks will not be permitted to remain in
Harroisburg and are destined to become
footballs by being driven from one place
to another. Such conditions are to be
deplored. Individuals should bepunish-
ed for their acts, but many people fail TO
see why all members of the race in a COM
munity should be banshed when one
commits an Ofense.

THURSDAY EVENING. SEPT. %, 1904.

RARNEY COHEN, president of the ILL
;no;s Federation of Labor, has made
startling disclosures of the rapid dlsinie'
grafton of the forces that hold the unions
together. and warns labor that it must
be reorganizcd if it hopes to avert the
destructive results of the fight being
made by employers. He says citizens
alliances in every town 10 the State have
materially weakened labor in many ways.
The most effective attacks on the union
have been boycotts against union made
goods. Heretofore the union slabel has
aided sales, he asserts, but now the iaOel
ipterferes with the success OF the dealer.
The cause is that citizens alliances have
convinced lawyers, bankers and other in
Auential members of smaller communi-
ties that the labor movement IS class
movement, and aims at the interests OF
all other classes by demanding high
prices for union made products. One OF
the greatest barriers to organized labor is
the despotism of certain labor leaders
who ever and anon attempt to tie up
certain branches OF industry and order
strikes often on trivial pretexts. Such
acts cause many to lose sympathy for
the unions from the fact that they al
low themselves to be governed by people
who generally profit by labor convul-
sions. while honest tOilers lose.

The Divorce Question.

Boston, Sept. 29.-When the general
conference of the Episcopal Church opens
in this city next week the most impor'
tant aud most troublesome matter to come
up for settlement will be the attempt to
adopt canon on divorce, and already
there are indications that the discussion
may fail of securing any change in the
church law, because of the wide diver
sity of opinions held by the delegates.
The divorce problem has been promi-
nent at the conventions of the church
for years. At each of these an attempt
has been made to settle the position of
the church once and for all and at each
failure, or at least partial failure,
has been the rule. Now Bishop
Henry c.. Potter, of New York, one of
the leaders, if not the most prominent
leader of the reform movement, &C.
knowledges that defeat may be the re-
suit again this year. The contest will
come between the extreme high church
men, who insist on a canon forbidding
the remarriage of all divorced persons,
and those who would permit the marriage
only of the innocent party divorced on
statutory grounds with quite few hold
ing the neutral position of allowing the
clergy to follow their inclination and
conscience in each case. It is expected
that the discussion will be long and
heated
