NEXT BATTLE EXPECTED AT PORT ARTHUR
WHERE LITTLE HAS BEEN DOING FOR WEEKS
The Spirit offRussian Troops at Mukden Which Was
Bordering on Panic Because of Lao Yang
has Been Restored. .--Business In
City Reported Recovering.

There has been no renewal OF
fighting since the retreat of the Rus
sian army under Gen. Kuropatkin to
Mukden. Conditions there, both
with the Japanese and the Russian
lines, indicate that month may
elapse before the great armies in
CentralManchuria again enter on n
general engagement.
At St. Petersburg, the expectation
is that the next conflict Of moment
will occur at Port Arthur where
there has been respite from heavy
fighting for several weeks. The spir'
IL of the Russian troops at Mukden
which was greatly depressed and Dor
dered upon panic following the re-
verse at Lao Yang, has been restored
and business in the city Is reported
to be recovering. The Japanese are
said to be entrenching on the Taitse
river.

Huntsville, Ala. Sept. 1.-THE

night by companies &c" and tx"
third Alabama infantry, Captain Lu.
cien Brown, because threats have
been made that parties indicted by
the grand jury for connection with
the lynching OF Horace Naples and

Ben Hill, one of the alleged lynchers,
was captured and lodged In Jail to-
day and the officers are looking for
nine athers who have been indicted.
Orders to Preserve Peace.
The troops reached here on spec
ial train today and the pickets guard
all approaches to the Jail. No trouble
is anticipated so long as the jail is
guarded In this manner. The cap.
tain has orders to preserve the peace
of this community even II the city
be placed under martial law. He has
camp equipments and is fixed for a
long stay Solicitor Peters denies
the rumor that Sheriff Rogers and
Mayor Smith have been indicted.
The foundation for this rumor Is
the fact that the grand jury has ask
ed instructions on how to bring about
the impeachment Of these officers IL
such action should be deemed advls-
! able. -

Jacksonville, comes the report that
five men were drowned off Charles
ton.

little. The wind, rain, thunder and
lightning were terrific, but little ac-
tual damage was done. Nineteen
coal barges went adrift in the bay,
and tonight their wreckage strewS
the shore, from the Battery to the
Narrows, but no lives were lost. Sew
eral small vessels also went ashore
on various parts Of the coast near
New York. One fatality was report

iron fire escape was blown from Il
building and struck Carl Hertzner,
killing him instantly.
A fishing steamboat, Joseph Churcf

sma shed to pieces. The captain and

Bad News from Delaware.
From Wilmington, Delaware, comes
the news that great destruction was
caused by the storm. Trees were up

ruined. In Chesapeake bay the storm

has such a furious gale swept down
on them at this time of the year.
One man was seen adrift in a small
boat in Chesapeake bay, but it was
impossible to rescue him.
The storm was accompanied by
cold wave.
