MAY STAY SIX WEEKS,
Russian Transport Lena Given Time to
Make Repairs.

The Russian transport Lena has been
allowed six weeks to make necessary re-
pairs to her boilers, and at the end of
that time she must depart from the port
of San Francisco unless. in the opinion
oe the feet engineer Of the Pacific squad
ron, stationed at San Francisco, her re-
pairs absolutely require more time than
has been allowed to put her into a sea-
worthy condition. This decision, though
subject to revision, disposes of the case
for the present, although the japanese
consul general at San Francisco is not
satisfied with it, insisting that the Lena
should leave port Immediately, on the
ground that she is at San Francisco to
spy on transpaciic ships.
Within the bay and close to shore
numerous Japanese residents watch the
vessel through field glasses. Aside from
the diplomatic situation is the danger,
it is said, of a second Maine disaster.
Reports are heard of threats that a
well-manned boat may put out under

PROGRESS OF THE MAR

Mukden, the ancient royal city of
the Manchus. is the focal point for the
worldwide attention centered in the
Russo-Japanese war. In successive
stages the field of operations has swept
across Manchuria. Liaoyang recently
was the stage for great events. The
battle fought there. even though but
f~ragmentary facts are known. is con-
coded a place among the worlds great
military struggles. Kuropatkin. in a
mastery retreat. forced upon him by
he strategy of the enemy, covered for
ty miles of sodden roads, saving his
army and artillery from total disaster
and reached Mukden. VIII he make
a stand here, or will his weary army
take up the march again to a position
farther north? This is the question of
the hour. A few miles north is Tie
Pass, a position adapted by nature for
defensive operations. This, say ru-
mors. is in reality to be the scene of
the next great battle. In fact. a des-
perate battle has already been reported
here, but this is now denied.
Mukden, which in times Of peace has
at least 100000 inhabitants, is situated
in the center of an immense walluvial
plain, about three miles from the Hun
ho, a tributary of the Lao river. 1t is
about forty miles north of Port Ar
thur, forty-two miles north of Lao
yang and $50 miles south Of Hardin.
General Kuropatkin discovered, early
in March, that Hardin was too far
north to serve as a military base for
the campaign in Southern Mancuhria,
and he selected Mukden for his head
quarters, because it is favorably stu
ated on the railway and on the Pekin
road.
The city of Mukden has an outer
wall of mud, and a lofty quadrangle
lar inner wall three miles in circuit,
built of brick, fianked by lofty towers
and pierced by eight gates protected
by lofty brick b~astions. This wall, on
which three carriages could drive
abreast, protects the commercial and
official part of the city, and is densely
crowded. Mukden, besides being the

accomplished fairly marvellous things
in eve months of fighting.
All is speculation. however, and no
definite word may be uttered until the
armies again move and their plans ac-
tually develop. Meantime, ancient
Mukden rivets attention.
1t is impossible ~ ascertain what
has happened during the last week be-
tween Liaoyang and Nukden, except
in the broadcast outlines, and even as
20 these there is uncertainty. We
know that Kouropatkin has been
withdrawing his army northward, but
tell. We know that Kuroki has been
in touch with his rear guard to the
east at least part of the time.
We have had it officially stated sew
eral times that the entire Russian
army was in Mukden or north OF
there, and concurrently we have had
scraps of information to indicate that
the movement was not yet completed.
Rumors even of pitched battles fought
by the Russian rear guard are still
coming. We may disregard as mani
testify all stories from hys-
terical correspondents and army Off
GERS In Mukden of fighting close in to
that city, and we can similarly disre-
gard the report that Kuroki's and
Oku's forces are respectively twenty
sever and twenty miles to the east
and west of Mukden.
The other day there appeared three
circumstantial accounts OF the battle
of Liaoyang. telegraphed in by CORE
~spondents who had been present. Two

The vote was the largest ever polled.
The returns show a Republican gain over

gain of 81 per cent, on which OASIS the
Republican plurality for Governor IS es-

"a. 1872. The Republicans carried every
county with the exception Of two. They

Aside from this, Kuropatkin may
not only avoid battle at Mukden, but

of further resistance until after the

CHICAGO TRAIN HELD UP.
Bandits Blow Safe ON the Rock Island
Near Letts. Iowa.

y ACthos iva
Five bandits robbed the Chicago
Kansas City limited train on the Rock
Island Road shortly after midnight
Tuesday morning at a place known as
Whisky Hollow, about six miles our
Of Muscatine, and near Fruitland,
Iowa. The train, known as No. IL, Is
a through train to Texas, and the rob-
berry was committed at the end of a
sharp curve, and exactly where a sim
liar hold-up was plotted two years ago
by the Chicago car barn bandits.
The statements of express officials
are that the bandits obtained nc mon
cy, though the safe was blown open
and the contents were taken. 1t is
asserted that the safe contained mer-
chandise of some value and company
papers in transit, ETC., but no cash.
AS the train rounded a curve the
engineer saw a red lantern on the
track, and Immediately stopped. The
engine, the express car and the bag
gage car were boarded by the robbers,
apparently five in number. A fusillade
vas fired along the sides of the train
to prevent interference by passengers.
The messenger of the express car was
compelled to open the door. The car
safe was dynamited and the contents
taken, after which the engine crew
was compelled to return TO the pas

Deadly Rabbit Brush.

George Morse, the Arizona cattle man was in Florence Wednesday, and informed us that he had lost seventeen head of cattle within the two weeks just past, says the Ari- zona Blade.
 He had a veterinary surgeon per form an autopsy on one of the dead COWS to determine the cause of death The doctor found that the blossoms of an innocent looking little her b which grows along the banks of the Florence canal, had caused the mortality among MT. Morse's herd This little weed is called in common parlance, "rab- bitt brush" The doctor told MT. Morse the botanical name of it but 1t was so long George could not carry it on his horse and we will have to send a freight team after it before we can give it to our readers
 The COWS seem to be fond of the withered blossoms of this long, named plant and eat all they can find of them. The fibre of the blossoms seems to be indigestible and balls up in the front veranda of the stomach, so to speak. This puts the general digestive organs out of business and inflammation of the stomach sets in and life "sets out" for parts unknown. Cattle men should make an effort to de- stroy this ''rabbit brush" before it spreads over large areas.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science
 is toward preventative measures.
 The best thought of the world is be-
 ing given to the subject. It is
 easier and better to prevent than
 to cure. It has been fully demon
 strated that pneumonia, one of the
 most dangerous diseases that medi- cal men have to contend with, can
 be prevented by the use of Chamb- erlain's Cough Remedy. Pm IL monia always results from cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit confidence. Pneumonia often results from a slight cold when no danger is appre- hended until it is suddenly dis covered that there is fever and in breathing and pains in the chest, then it is announced that the patient has pneumonia Be on the safe side and take ChamberIain's Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is contracted. It always cures. For sale by The c. A. Cover Drug Company.
