About the Amendment.
There is some fear on the part of
the state school authorities that the
wording of the constitutional amend
ment providing for local taxation for
school purposes as it appears on the
state ticket sent out by Chairman M
j. Yeomans will not be understood.
AS the statement appears on the tick
ct the school authorities fear that
many voters will think it means local
taxation to be applied at once in their
own counties. OF course this is in
correct. The amendment means sim
ply that the constitution shall be
amended so as to permit local taxation
by subsequent vote of the people in
case they should want ii.
The school authorities desire that
this be made clear, since the wording
on the ticket cannot now be changed.

RUSSIANS FALL BACK.
Victory Perches Upon Jap Arms in
First Test Of Strength in the Vi
clnity Of Mukden.

From a reliable source the Associat
ed Press at st. Petersburg hears that
sharp fighting has occurred near Muk'
den, resulting in the japanese driving
in General Kuropatkin's outposts. I'M
portant dispatches have been received
and transmitted to the emperor. They
are believed to confirm the Associated
Press information.
The gtneral staff, however, is unable
at present to go beyond the positive
assurance that the main Russian army
is still at Mukden.
According to the best estimates OBJ
tainable, the Japanese army confront
ing General Kuropatkin comprises a
grand total Of 1S0 battalions. Allowing
800 men to battalion, there are 144,'
900 infantry. In addition there are T..
300 cavalry and 63S guns.
There is no definite news from Port

RESULT OF CLOUDBURST
River Forced from Banks and Property
to Extent Of Many Thousands in
Value is Swept Away-No
Lives Reported Lost.

A terrific storm struck the city Of
Trinidad, Colorado, Friday and the
whole valley along the Las Animas
river, devastating a wide section and
causing a loss which will reach one
million dollars. SO far as known,
there was no loss Of life, but several
are reported missing.
Every bridge in the city Of Trinidad
Is down, the Sante Fe station is de-
molished, all Of the railroads are tied
up and the telephone and telegraphic
service completely suspended. More
than thirty city blocks in the resi-
dence and business portions were tenn
porarily from two to four feet under
water along the river.
The food was caused by the heavy
rain which fell for two days. At
8 o'clock Thursday night the storm
assumed cloudburst proportions and
at two o'clock Friday morning the
Las Animas river went over it's banks.
At $3.50 it was impossible to get
within a block Of the river bed at any
point and Commercial street was
flooded for three blocks in the heart
Of the business district.
City in Complete Darkness.
Meantime the electric light and gas
plants had been flooded and the city
was in complete darkness. Hundreds
Of citizens thronged the streets on
the edge Of the submerged district
carrying lanterns and doing their
best to provide shelter for those driven
from their homes. Warning Of the
food was given when the river left
its banks by revolver shots and the
ringing Of the fire alarm, followed by
the blowing of all the locomotive and
shop whistles in town.
Citizens upon RATS made Of sec.

the streets rescuing families which
were in danger. The new Bacca hotel,
q two-story structure just nearing
completion at a cost Of $4,000, was
destroyed. The water then ate it's
way through so feet of ground to the
Sante Fe depot, which was carried
away. The Cardenas hotel, adjoin-

It was reported at one time that
the food was due to a break In the

ENGRAVER UNDERARREST
counterfelter Wynne duplicates chas.
Mansion, Foreman Of Engraving
Company in Crooked Work.

Charles A. Mansion, foreman OF the
Southern Engraving Company, In Al
lanta, was arrested Thursday morning
by Captain ]. M. Wright of the United
States secret service, charged with be-
ing implicated with Will l.. Wynne in
the making Of plates for counterfeit
money.
The arrest was made on the sugges'
ton Of the district attorney. Shortly
before 10 o'clock Secret Service Ohacer
Wright entered the shop OF the South
ern Engraving Company, located III
The Constitution building, and request
ed Mansion to walk over to the United
States building with him.
The sensational commitment trials
of P. S. Coffee, J. N. Little, Clarence
Rebb, o. L. McMichael and w. L..
Wynne occurred a few weeks ago and
ali five Of these men charged with
connection in the same case are now
in Fulton county jail. having failed so
far to make bonds. The arrest OF VIII
Wynne took place in st. Louis after
the commitment Of the other four.
The arrest Of Charles Mansion
makes six arrests that have been made
by the United States secret service
men in connection with the making
of plates and printing of counterfeit
money in Atlanta.
After Mansion had been arrested he
was taken before Commissioner O. G.
Fuller and placed under a $1,000 bond
for his appearance before Comnis-
sioner Colquitt. His bond was prompt
ly forthcoming.
The arrest Of Mansion is said to
have been made upon representations
made by Wynne. A peculiar feature
Of the case, therefore, is the CORE
srondence between Mansion and
Wynne. in which the latter Informed
him of practically the time OF his ar

Mansion had received several let

of the latter and finally this one was
handed him by the mother of Wynne:

Trouble in the Celestial Kingdom Not
Generally Understood.

Trouble in the Celestial Kingdom Not
Generally Understood.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Pekin says: Foreigners have been
much preoccupied by the growing un'
rest in the southern part of Chi HI
province and Shantum and Human
provinces.
They were informed by the officers
of the foreign board that the agitation
Is largely revolutionary and anti-dynas-
tic, thus differing from the boxer move
ment OF 1900. which was chiefly anti
foreign.
Ministers of the powers in Pekln
have approached the foreign board
with a view to including the officials to
take effective measures. The board
answered that strict orders had been
given to Yuan Shi Kai, viceroy of Chi
Ii and commander in chief of the Chi
nese forces, to do his utmost to sup
press the revolutionary movement, and
added that no serious trouble was an
ticipated.
The foreign board naturally mini
mizes the symptoms, which certainly
are widespread, but there seems
ground to believe that the character of
the movement is different from that of
the boxers Of 1900.
The native papers Of Pekin and 9TH
er places are utilizing the coolie ques-
tion as a means Of agitation. Pamph-
lets and hand bills are also distributed i
complaining Of the alleged cruelties
which the coolies in the Transvaal are
subjected to. The Chinese govern
ment apparently has not attempted to
counteract or check these mischievous
statements. It Is difficult to ascertain
the precise object Of the agitation, but
the foreigners regard the situation as
being distinctly disquieting.

JAPS BEGIN OFFENSIVE
They Capture Da Pass After Two
Failures and Commence Pressure
on kuropatkin's Flank.

News was received in st. Petersburg
Thursday from Mukden to the effect
that the japanese have at last begun
the offensive. They have captured Da
pass and are pressing on to General
Kuropatkin's flank. The war office is
unable to confirm this report because
Kuropatkin's dispatches are following
the emperor, but the Associated Press
is informed by the general staff that
ali indications point to the news being
correct.
Several other passes Of the De-
range east Of Bentsiaputze, 20 miles
southeast Of Mukden, are also in the
hands Of the Japanese. Kuropatkin IS
evidently drawing in his forces tc the
less mountainous country northward.
where he may decide to give battle.
T.. the meanwhile sharp fighting is re-
garded as imminent southeast OF huk.
den, whence the Japanese are expect
ed to deliver their main attack, the
flank movement from the west being
Of secondary Importance.
Da pass. or Ia pass, meaning great
pass, Is situated about forty-five miles
southeast of Mukden, and is the same
distance northeast Of Lao-Yang. It
/, about Is miles south Of the Hun riv.
er. The Japanese attacked Da pass,
which was occupied by the troops OF
General Mitschenko and samsonoff, on
September "a, but according to dis.
patches from Harbin were twice re-
pulsed, before success was achieved.
Private reports from Port Arthur
state that the garrison there is conf.
dent of being able to hold out until
the beginning Of next year.
The report is confirmed of the loss
Of three Japanese torpedo boats and
the damaging of Japanese cruiser by
coming in contact with Russian mines.
