MIRSKY EXPECTS MUCH
FROM THE ZEMSTVOS

topolk- Mirsky, the minister of the in
terror, reiterates, according to the report
of an interview with him published in
the Russ, his statement to the Asso-
ciated Press, that it is too early as yet
the ministry of the interior, but repeats
that much is to be expected from the in
telllgent use of the zemstvos, the dis
trict councils. The minister adds that
he hopes ultimately to decentralize the
method of dealing with these commune
ties, so as to give each of them the ben
eft of their own knowledge of local con-
ditions, as they are naturally more com
petent to manage their affairs to, their
advantage than is the st. Petersburg
government, which often has no knowi-
edge Of the local conditions that exist.

ASSASSIN AFTER
LIEUT.. ROBINSON:
Plot to Wreck Battleship Connec.
ticut Involves Death of the
Assistant Constructor.
New York Sun Special Service.

Rehard g. Robnson the sStstsn
naval constructor who is in direct
charge of the construction Of the bat
t1eship Connecticut, Is threatened with
assassination. 1t is because of this
fact, which became known today, that
he is constantly surrounded by a guard.
Six months ago, just after his discov-
cry of the first effort seriously to dam
age. the Connecticut, an attempt was
made to murder him. As he was return
ing to his quarters from the ship one
evening, a shot was fired at him from a
rifle at close range. The bullet whizzed
past his head and he dropped to the
ground. His assailant evidently be-
ieved the bullet had taken effect, for he
did not fire again. Mr.. Robinson re-
manned perfectly still for several min
utes and then hurried to his office.
After that Mr.. Robinson was careful
not to go out alone after dark. Soon
5afterward h: received an anonymous
his aim would be better next time, and
that he would NgetV him. After the
discovery of the obstruction on the
ways, by which it was planned to wreck
the Connecticut at her launching, Mr..
Robinson received another anonymous
threatening letter. He then concluded
that the plot to wreck the Connecticut
also involved his murder and since then
he has been surrounded by guard.
On account of the attempt to kill Mr..
Robinson and the repeated threats to
murder him the naval officials are
doubly anxious to get at the bottom Of
the conspiracy, but SO far, they have
made little progress.

SUMMARY OFWAR BY
ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dispatches from both Russia and
Japanese sources today leave little
doubt that the armies of Oyama
and Kuropatkin are now closely
engaged, but neither the extent
nor the exact location of the bat
tie are known. Toxic hears that
the Russians have crossed the Hun
river in force and are aggressive
ly attacking the Japanese. The
same dispatch says that the Jap
anese recaptured position previ-
ously taken by che Rusianss, but
the name Of the place is not given,
TOXIC also reports that the Rus
sian advance was checked and that
the losses on both sides have been
heavy. st. Petersburg reports
that Oyama's front has been rap
idly narrowing during the past few
days under pressure of the Russian
advance and that his entire force
is now north of the Taitse river,
covering a front not exceeding 20
miles. The point Of the Japanese
concentration is not definitely
known beyond the general state
ment that their line~stretches from
the Yentai mines westward to the
railroad.
Toxic officially announces the
loss Of the armored gunboat Hell
yen, which struck a; mine off Pig
con bay on the night of Sept. 10,
laundering with nearly her entire
complement of 300 men.

IS EMPEROR WILLIAM
AFTER NETHERLANDS?

st. Petersburg, Oct. 1.-THE rumor
Of the existence Of secret understand
ing between Russia and Germany cover
ing the war in the far east has again
been revived.
According to the latest version Ger
many gives certain guarantees to EN-
peror Nicholas regarding the German
frontier which will enable Russia to
withdraw troops from the big garrisons
maintained in Russian Poland and dis
patch them to the far east, besides
negotiations at the end Of the war.
Germany's compensation in addition
to the concessions made in the CONNER
cial treaties already negotiated is to be
the support Of Russia in the attempt to
incorporate the Netherlands in the Ger
man confederation in the event Of the
death Of Queen Wilhelmina without
direct heir.
The rumor receives little credence.

New York, Oct. 11.-Acting under
instruction from the coroner, the po-
lice have taken into custody, Rudolph

that this whisky. is responsible for

Investigation Of the numerous deaths
in the neighborhood during the past
two weeks showed that nearly all those
who had died suddenly were customers
Of the barrelhouse. - -. .z .@.-
Twenty-Five persons living in the
age, have died within the past two
weeks. The symptoms were in the
main identical. They were character
lied by the attendant physicians in all
cases as those of alcoholism. In the
past twenty-four hours one death, that
Of Robert Smith, has been reported,
while the following awaited burial:
William McAuliffe. aged 45; died Sat
urday
William Drain aged 80; died Friday.
Adolphe Lehman, died Sunday. f..
Nora McGinness, died Sunday. -:
A doctor living In West Forty eighth
street, who was called to attend sew
eral Of the persons mentioned, said that
while the cases he had seen were plain
ly enough alcoholism, there was vet
something peculiar in such an outbreak
Of the ailment in so circumscribed a
territory. .- .s.g- -.
A report submitted to- police Captain
Hussey by the department Of health
analyst alleges that wood alcohol was
found in Lehman 8 stomach, and it is
further alleged that bottle Of whis-
ky purchased by detective also con-
tanned large percentage of wood al

Determined that no mistake should
be made, Coroner Scholer at once or
dered that the funerals of McAuliffe
and McLeavy be postponed and their
stomachs analysed. Samples also were
taken from seven barrels. Of whisky in
F'ritsche's saloon and the police took
entire charge Of the place.
Captain Hussey, in statement re.
garding the affair, said:
F'ritsche declares that he is not respon-
sible for any illness caused by his whisky
as he buys it from several wholesale deal
ers and knows nothing but what they tel
him regarding its purity.
Coroner Scholer said:
Fritsche is not alone concerned in this
matter. I am confident that the same sort
of liquor will be found in other saloons
and that many deaths will be traced tc
that source.

The remarkable comp utatlon In the case
OF Hennepin logs and lumber return is
perhaps more obvious. but not a whit
more aggravatIng and unjust than what
the Minneapolis merchants encountered in
seeking readJustment on goods and mer-
ehandIse. But mere stupidity, which Is
patent to all. will not excuse nor explain
the erratlc course Of what by a strained
courtesy is called a state board Of "equaI.
lzatlon." When a board, supposed to
make fine financial adjustment, falls to
weigh and analyze, and accepts, without
question, the Inaccurate statements Of
members open to the suspicion of a strong
bias, what chance Is there for "equaIIz.
lng"7 1t seems to me that the time has
come for plain speaking and for fair
minded mon to oppose openly system
which gives violent sectional feeling
free rein. In the case Of HennepIn coun-
ty this year ! cannot help feeling that
the state >board's course has been neither
honest nor far-slghted.

~. KUROPATKIN PUSHES ON
His Artillery Almost Within Range Of
the Japanese.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 11.-No official
news has been received from the front
as to what is happening today, but
portion of General Kuropatkin g dis
patch, dated last night, given to the
public, showed that his army was stead
lily pushing forward and that the Jap
anese were gradually withdrawing their
outposts, which were only a cannon
shot distant. There have been almost
artillery skirmishes, which at any mo-
ment may develop into battle.
There is no confirmation Of the jap
anese evacuation of the Yen-tai mines,
but the report is credited at the war Of
fee.
Counter Attack Likely.
Field Marshal Oyama g front has
been rapidly narrowing during the last
few days, under the pressure of the
Russian advance, and now does not ex-
coed twenty miles, extending from the
Yen-tai mines westward beyond the
railroad.
When the Japanese concentration is
effected counter-attack is likely to be
the signal for a series Of battles. If the
Russians are victorious the ultimate is
sue is expected to be decided within
the mountainous triangle formed by
the Yen-tai mines, Liao-yang and Sky
wan-tum, which constitute the fortified
Japanese positions.
