ton This Afternoon.

Mr. Charles Leman of st. Petersburg and
Berlin, royal court courier to his majesty
the Emperor of all the Russias, is at the

thing but German spoken in the lobby of
the Raleigh today, the members were
calling here and there and everywhere for
their baggage, their luncheon their auto
mobile tickets and whatnot

pies their troubles, but they appear happy
nevertheless.
Mr. Leman explained to a reporter for
The Star that the members of the party
came over here to see if they could learn
anything that would be of advantage to
them. They had heard a deal of the
United States, and nearly all of them have
had commercial dealings with American
merchants.
Though some of them sign their names as
doctors, all of them are interested in some
way in the mercantile business, for this
is essential for membership in the organiza-
tons which they represent.
The party spent the afternoon seeing
washington in automobiles. This evening
some Will rest and others will wander about,
there being no fixed program.
Tomorrow will be devoted to general
sightseeing. and Sunday forenoon they will
go to Mt. Vernon. They leave for Pitts

preciable effect on prices The market was
generally steady with decided firmness to

BuH traders had the market we'll in hand

UNABLE TO LOCATE FREAK.
Contest for Possession of Boy Who is
Known as Yuki.

Efforts to locate the human freak
'Yuki" known as the dog face" boy for
whose custody writ of habeas corpus was
issued yesterday, was continued without
result today. George Davis in his petit
ton filed yesterday claimed to be the guar
dian of the boy and stated that he was
being unlawfully held by VIM. B. brewery.
who is said to be white man from North
Carolina.
Yuki has been on exhibition throughout
the country and was recently exhibited at
the Rockville fair.
sents the petitioner fearing that an effort
would be made to take the freak 5outh
watched the railroad station in company
with two deputy marshals all yesterday
but no effort was made to take the boy In
that direction. This morning Mr.. Scott
asked police headquarters to have the de-
tectives at the railroad stations keep a
watch for brewery and the boy.
If the boy is apprehended and brought
into court it is said that brewery will
claim that he is entitled to the freak nm
der those laws of North Carolina which
are said to vest the clerks of courts with
the right to apprentice orphans to citi-
zens of the state. On the other hand. Davis
claims custody of ''Yuki'' under the verdict
of the jury de lunatico inquirendo of Sc
dalia. which appointed him custodian and
guardian of "Yuki'' on August &c, 1902.
Another point involved in the legal fea-
lures OF the case is the fact that the court
at Rockville has decided the case in that
jurisdiction in favor of brewery. 1t is
claimed by Davis that his son, and not
himself. the guardian, was the defendant in
the case at Rockville. and that the guar
dian has the right to seek possession of
the ''dog-faced' boy in this jurisdiction by
habeaS corpus proceedings.

Turned In Funds That Should Have
Been Expended.

Colonel John L. Glenn, chief quartermas-
ter. Philippine division, has been reprf-
manded by General Humphrey, Quartermas-
ter general. for his action In turning into
the United States treasury the sum Of
$4,000 as "unexpended balance of the
appropriations for the last fiscal year,
when, as stated at the War Department,
the money was actually needed to meet
necessary expenses for army transporta-
ton and other work of the quartermaster' 8
department
1t Is said that the service will be en-
barrassed by Colonel Clems action, as 1t
has seriously interferred with the work
of the quarter.naster's department.
General Humphrey has informed Colonel
Glenn that his action Is disapproved and
would not have been taken If he had had a
proper conception of his duties. The money,
having been turned into the treasury, is
now beyond the control of the War De-
partment officials and will have to be re-
appropriated by Congress to meet exist
ing obligations.
1t is not unlikely that Col. Glenn will be
relieved of his present duties and recalled
to the United States.
Col Glenn Is one Of the heroes of the war
Of the rebellion and Is known to fame as
"the drummer boy of Chickamauga," be-
cause Of his gallant conduct in that battle
while serving as drummer in the o2d
Michigan Volunteer Infantry. He has ma ny

Glst OF Their Accounts From the Far

LoNboN, September 2-This mornings
newspapers comment Supon the Associated
lless ulSpatcp from CMukden saving that
me Train service between Mukden and Iiao-
Yang Is interrupted and that the roads ara
iihpdssapie as the most important news
from the scene of hostilitfes In the far
east and say that there is only one mean
ing of it-that the Japanese have seized the
railway between Liaoyang and Mukden.
correspondents of the Daily Chronicle and
the Daily Mail assert that the Japanese oc.
cupied Liaoyang Thursday.
There is no official confirmation of these
statements. but the latest official dispatch
to the Japanese legation here renorts tho
capture of the heights southwest of Lao
yang at daw1B Thursday. This dispatch
adds: "Therenpon the enemy south of Lao
yang commenced to retreat. Our armies
are now pursuing himi'oF - t5'''
The Daily Mails Kupantse correspondent,
telegrap hing under date of August 81 saws
tnat a2UU Japanese are en- route from Dali
NY to HalcheBg by railway. Originally they
were intended to reinforce. the besiegers of
Port Arthur, the correspondent adds. but
Field Marshal Oyama, commandment chief
of the japanese forces in Manchuria, was
notified they were not required there and
therefore sent them north. -.
A special dispatch from ST. Petersburg,
which is not confirmed from any other
source, reports that General Lineyitch from
Vladfvostok is within two days march of
Mukden with 10000 troops.
The Standards Tokyo correspondent saws
that dispatches received there from Picking
are to the effect that China is constantly
increasing her military forces on the neu-
trail side of the Lao river and that she
has ordered General Ma to firmly enforce
the rights and duties of neutrality in the
event of the Russians being defeated at
Liaoyang and attempting to enter neutral
territory.
Commenting upon the situation in the
far east, all the morning newspapers dis
cuss the problem as to whether General
Kuropatkin will be able to extricate his
forces. or whether Marshal Oyama will
succeed in completing the victory by en-
veloping and destroying the Russian army.
The consensus of opinion is that General
Kuropatkins position is most perilous.
The absence of kilograms from Liaoyang
together with the news that the railway is
interrupted, the newspapers regard as
showing that General kuropatkin has be-
gun his retreat too late
BERLIN, September 2.-The Berlin news

BACK FROM THE ISTHMUS.
Return of Consular Officers From Colon
and Panama.

Mr.. Oscar MalmroS, United States consul
al Colon. who has been on leave of absence
at his Minnesota home. called at the De-
partment of State today to pay his re-
spects to Acting Secretary Adee before re-
turning to Colon. Mr.. Malmros is one Of
the veterans Of the consular service. having
been appointed consul at Galatz in 1865,
and since that time he has filed many diff
ferent posts. AS he has now resided at
Colon for over three years, he is thorough
ly acquainted with the conditions there.
and was able to forecast the future Of the
town while the Panama canal is under con-
struction.
The great work of sanitation will, in his
judgment, be the first to begin. and Colon
will be the point of entrance. The place Is
surrounded by swamps, and tropical vege-
tation runs rankly into the very limits of
the town. In fact but two streets have
been opened through the jungle or swamp.
Therefore it will be necessary to begin at
once the preparation of plans for the recla
nation of these swamps, though 1t will
probably be about the end of the present
year before any considerable number of
Iaborers can be put to work there.
These Swamps extend inland on the line
of the canal about ten miles, but, accord
ing to Mr.. Malmros, beyond that point, 60
ing toward the interior of the iSthmus, the
strip is perfectly healthy and the nights
are cool and the climate pleasant. Mr.
Malmros has no doubt that the most cordial
relations will continue between the Pana-
mans and the inhabitants of the canal
strip.
His opinion on that point appears to be
confirmed by a report by cable received at
the State Department today from Minister
Barrett at Panama, in which the minister
conveys the assurance that through ener-
getic and persistent action on the part Of
the canal commissioners and himself on
the one side and the Panaman govern
ment officers the other the slight differ
ences that had arisen growing out of the
commissions action relative to the estab-
lishment of custom houses, post offices
etc, in the canal zone were in the way of
most satisfactory adjustment and the best
of feeling prevails on both sides.
Mr.. Hezekiah A. Gudger, United States
consul general at Panama, has arrived in
Washington on leave of absence. intend
ing TO visit his home in North Carolina as
soon as he has had an opportunity to re-
port to the officials here upon the condi-
ton of affairs on the isthmus as he left
them.

He Was Third Assistant Postmaster
General Under Cleveland,

Many readers of The Star, particularly
those in the postal service, will be panied
to learn of the death of Mr.. Kerr Craige
of Salisbury. N. c., who was third assist
ant postmaster general during the FOUR
years of President Cleveland's second ad-
ministration. He died last evening at
o'clock at the Columbian University Hos
pital. where he had gone for treatment
about a week ago. The cause of his death
was valvular disease of the heart, from
which he had been suffering more or less
for several months past. He had the BEN
eft of the skillful help of the. hospital
corps of physicians, of DIR. Acker, his fam
lily physician when he resided here, and OF
an eminent specialist attached to the Johns
Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore His end
was quite peaceful. unattended by pain
fear. and he had the loving care of all
his children. His remains were taken to

ever since.

ton Craige. n member of Congress from
North Carolina for several terms before the
late civil war. one of the leaders of the
democratic party. and in other respects one
of the most eminent citizens of the state

uous chiefly as a lawyer, being one of the
leaders of the bar; but he had held the Of
flee of collector of internal revenue under
Cleveland's first administration. and under
the second. as before stated. the Office OF
third assistant postmaster general. He had
previously. too. been unanimously nomi-
mated for Congress as a democrat in a

AS a man Mr.. Craige was most admir-
able character He was loved and re-
spected by everybody. although of strong
will and fixed resolution. He enjoyed the
friendship of the late Senator Vance. of
Senator Ransome, of the entire state dele
CATION in Congress. and indeed of nearly
every man of prominence throughout the
state. The people in the Post Office De-
partment, with whom he was associated
