Japanese Seem Not to he Quite
Ready for the Advance.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 2S, 6:15 D. M
The latest official advices from the
front are silent on the subject of the
Japanese thanking movements east
and west Of Mukden, from which the
War Office concludes that Field Mar
shall Oyama has not yet begun to press
his advance from Sianchan, or up the
Lao river valley indicating that there
is still further delay in the general ad-
vance.
The Associated Press is now author
lied to definitely deny the statement
that the Japanese In any force have
crossed the Hun river about fifty miles
from Mukden. There is no evidence
that the Japanese turning movement
Is nearly so extended. The only Jap
anese at this point are the scouts re-
ported in these dispatches Sept. g.
The only Information received from
Gen. Kuropatkin. timed 3 p. m. yes
terday, Is to the effect that the Jap
anese outposts east Of the railroad,
along the Shakhe river, continue TO
throw out small detachments, but they
are invariably met and repused by
the Russian cavalry which maintains
close contact along the whole Japanese
line. Daily skirmishes are occurring,
but noneso Of an important character.
A herd Of cattle and a feiY horses have
been captured BY CossacSs
According 10 Information brought IN
BY Russian scouts, the main japanese
forces are still concentrated along the
lentai branch railroad and reinforce
ments are stili crossing the Taitse rive
er. using two pontOOnf al Bentsihu,

From the latter fact n would appear
that the Preparations for the Japnnese

Che Foo, Sept. 2S, 1:3O p. m.-Rus-
slams residing here claim to have re-
ceived information that the Japanese
losses in the last assault on Port Ar
thur, which begun Sept. 10, were 1000.
A Chinese who left the fortress on
Sept. 26 says that the Russian losses
were between 500 and 500.
This Chinaman says that the Japa-
nese were unable to remain in the
three supplementary forts which they
captured and that they retired at
O'Clock on the afternoon of Sept. 26,
after enduring several days of tre-
mendous firing from the inner forts.
He adds that the Russians attempted
to bury the dead on both sides at
night, because the decomposing bodies
seriously menaced the health Of the
garrison. The Russians allege that it
is the deliberate policy of the Japa-
nese to undermine the health of the
Russian troops by means Of the odors
from the decomposing bodies and that
for this reason, they fire on the burial
parties.
One Chinese, who was a member Of
a burial party, says that the Japanese
fired when he and other Chinese at
tempted to bury the dead. He adds
that when the wind carries the odors
toward the Japanese, the latter retire.
Chinese say that the most severe at
tacks we're made on the supplementary
forts Of the Itz and Anshu mountain
forts. The Russians had undermined
the ground and several hundred Japa-
nese we're blown up on Sept. %. Re-
ports received from the Miaotao Islands
mention "a terrific report which shook
the houses there on that date.
The Russian ships. says the report,
took no part In the battle. From thirty
10 fifty shells fell daily IN the Chinese
new town. one shell tore the rudder
from a torpedo boat destroyer.
The Russians are now building new
fort on Lao III promOntory bearing on
the inland side It's construction in
dirates that hve large guns will form
the nucleus Of the battery.

JAPANESE REPULSED
IN MANY SKlRMISHES.
So Gen. KuropatI<in Reports to ST.
Petersburg.


Petersburg.
st. Petersburg, Sept 2S.-A dispatch
received from Gen. Kuropatkin dated
yesterday afternoon announces that
numerous skirmishes have occurred
along most parts of the Russian
front.
The Japanese have not altered their
positions east of the railroad and con-
fine themselves to outpost attacks to
the north, all of which so far have
been repulsed.
Reconnaissance by the Russian
troops have established the fact that
the main Japanese forces are still
along the branch railroad to the Yen
tai mines. Both sides are in constant
contact. Gen. Samsonof's troops
particularly have had frequent en-
counters, but have sustained very few
casualties. The Russians have cap
tured some Japanese cattle and
horses.
The Japanese have constructed pom
toon bridges over the Taitse river at
Bentsahu.
The general adds:
"On the night of Sept. 26 Cornet
Mikheiff. with a detachment of Ural
Cossacks, attacked the Japanese,
bivouacked at Khouandi, causing
great panic. The same day the Oren-
burg Cossacks laid an ambush for half
a squadron of Japanese cavalry, who
returned their fire but soon retired,
having sustained considerable loss and
leaving several dead on the field"

MORE MONEY AND MEN
ARE WANTED BY JAPAN.

VIII Borrow the Money and Ger
Men by Conscription.
Toxic, Sept. 2s, 3 p. m.-The govern
ment has decided to float another do
mestic loan of s4O,OOO.OOO on conditions
similar to the last. The issue price
will be 90 and the interest per cent.
Business conditions indicate heavy
subscription.
1t is probable that the conscription
law will be amended, increasing the
service in the reserve five years and
making the regular reserve service to-
tai seventeen years and FIVE months.
This means a large increase in the
strength of the army.

CATHOLIC CHURCH
IS THE HOLY SEES.
Nothing TO DO with the President
or the Governor

VT AhO
New York, Sept. 2S.-More deIega-
tions of Roman Catholic priests from
distant sections OF the country having
arrived since the opening of the third
Eucharistic Congress of the United
States, there was still larger assem-
blage to-day than yesterday at the
solemn pontifical mass, celebrated at
st. Patrick's cathedral by the Rt Rev.
Camillus p. Macs. d. D.. Bishop Of
Covington, KY, who presided over the
sessions Of the congress.
Bishop Macs appointed a committee
to draw up resolutions denouncing the
French government for its action to-
wards the Catholic orders. The MEM
bers Of the committee are Archbishops
Farley and Ryan, Bishops Ludden and
Tierney and Mgr. Joseph +. Mooney,
vicar general of New York.
Father Dougherty asked that copies
Of the resolutions be ordered sent to
the President Of the United States. and
the Governor Of the state OF New York.
When this suggestion was made Arch
bishop Farley said:
~ think that would be going too far
and mingling up things. The Catholic
Church does not belong to the Presi-
dent Of the United States or the Gov
ernor Of the state of New York. II
belongs to the Holy See"

RACE QUESTION UP.
Booker Washington Favors separa-
ton of the Races.

Booker Washington FaVOrs Separ1-
ton of the Races.
New York, Sept 2s.-Before an au-
dience that filled st. Thomas Protest
ant Episcopal Church, and in the pres
ence of Booker T. Washington, to-
night, the Rev. DR. Strange, Bishop
Coadjutor-elect Of the diocese of South
Carolina, declared that the one set fac
tor in any real and practical solution
of the negro problem was the entire
separation of the races in social. scho-
lastic. religious and domestic affairs.
When Washington arose to speak he
virtually agreed with the Bishop by
saying the problem could not be set
tied by amalgamation or by the depor-
tation of the negroes, but by earnest
sympathy and cooperation of the
races. although his chief argument
was for increased facilities for educa-
tion and encouragement for those of
his people in the South.
Bishop Coadjutor Greer presided over
the meeting and said the question was
one to be solved only by Christian
standards. He then introduced DR..
Strange, whose topic was. "The Re-
sponsibilites OF American Christian
Civilization to the Negro Race"
I'VE are brothers in all the best
feelings, and we whites of the South
feel our responsibilities for the black
man and are doing the best we can
for him." said DR.. Strange. 1--WE ask
you that when anything happens down
there that merits condemnation to con-
denim that specific thing and not the
whole South, and to set your faces res
olutely against any outside political
interference IN the question, which
raises false hopes in the blacks, irri-
tates the whites and arrays race
against race.
THE whites OF the South must see
to it that there is a complete separa-
tion OF the races In schools, in churches
and in domestic life. That is the one
fixed factor. 1t is best for the whites
and blacks and best for human prog
ress. That being settled absolutely SO
as not to give the miserable machine
politician chance to sound his slo-
gan, the whites must give the negroes
all rights privileges and equalities be-
fore the ballot box and elsewhere.

New York Sept. 28.-The letter al
legged to have been received by Michael
j. Donnelly, the leader of the meat
strike. purporting to be one sent by
President Roosevelt, was copied from
an editorial in the New York Even
ing Post of Aug. l. The Evening Post
says to-day:
THE letter appeared as an editorial
IN the Evening Post on Aug 1, and was
explicitly stated to be a letter which
the President MIGHT have written
with advantage to himself and the
country.
In other words, it was confessedly
an imaginary letter, written for the
sake of bringing out certain truths in
regard to the meat strike
The Evening Post also says:
I'VE had no thought, of course, of
being able to make even a presenta BILE
imitation of the Presidents literary
style; and as the article was at the
time commented upon and reproduced
somewhat extensively in the press, we

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 2S.-The
first Republican meeting of the cam
paign at indianapolis was held in
Tomlinson Hall tonight. Congress
man Overstreet presided and in a.
brief address introduced Senator Bev-
eridge. who said among other things:
Eighteen ninety-six was no more
time for silence and hiding than 1861
was a time for cowardice and evasion.
1t was not only a political struggle,
but on both sides it was a moral
struggle. On both sides men who had
for years trimmed and compromised
threw aside expediency and spoke and
acted on principles. Was Grover
Cleveland silent then? Did he by his
vote condone what he declared with
his voice would be a crime? Was Sem
ator Teller and the band of lifelong
Republicans who marched out of the
st. Louis Convention silent then? Did
they condone by their votes. what
their tongues proclaimed would be a
crime? Was John NJ Palmer and Gen.
Buclner and the host of Gold Demo-
Gratis silent then?
Thousands of lifelong Republicans
left their party; thousands of lifelong
Democrats left their party. Among S0,
100000 of people there was a new align
ment, hundreds of thousands chang
ing sides and all because of princi-
pie which they believed would deter
mine the future of the republic yet
at this hour, when men were destroy
ing their political future for principles
sake, in this hour, made heroic by de-
votion to beliefs on both sides-Alton
b. Parker was silent, but he voted for
free silver. Is that the kind Of a man
in whom Gold Democrats can now find
the leader of cause. Is that the kind
of a man in whom Silver Democrats
can now find the leader of a cause?'
