Reaching for the Pythian Convention.
An earnest pfTort 10 hninn moaa -

AeeaCUIHS IOT SMe JtHlaH G0HYehbl0Ne
An earnest effort is being made to
have New Orleans chosen as the meet
ing place for the next biennial conven-
ton of the supreme lodge and en-
campment Of the uniform rank,
Knights Of Pythias, to be held il
September, 1906, and there is much
reason to believe that success will re-
ward the effort, though there are three
other cities-Boston, Cincinnati and
Notwithstanding for the honor.
The Initiative in the movement to bring
the convention and encampment to
New Orleans was taken by prominent
officers and members of the Pythian
order in the 'tgrand domain Of Louisi-
ana," and their exertions are receiv-
ing the hearty support and active
cooperation OF the state and city
authorities and the commercial or
CARNATIONS of the metropolis. The
Progressive Union has been particu-
larly active in the matter, a committee
from that wide awake body having
rendered invaluable assistance in the
canvass which has resulted in the as
surance that the required sum OF 49,
900 can be readily secured for defray-
ing the expenses incidental to the
proper entertainment Of the supreme
lodge and uniform rank. The com
mittee of fifteen which is handlinp the
Invitation campaign on the part of the
Louisiana Pythians is composed of j.
Zach spearing, chairman; George H.
kostmayer, secretary; j. A. Mclean,

kins, E. J. Kessler, James O'Connor,
G. r. Painter, E. Duffy, Jr., Lewis

nent among the members of the Pro-
gressive Union who have hustled for
the success Of this movement are w.
6. Tebault, the we1l-known furniture
dealer; Geo. II. Smith, general pas
senger agent Of the Queen and Cres-
cent railway system; A. r. Blakely,
manager Of the St. Charles Hotel:
Henry Lehman, Henry G. Mayo and
A. J. McDougall, the last named

A large delegation of Knights of

End rear. But Orion was unequal TO
the task assigned him. His division
had Just arrived from Russia, and Its
fighting efficiency was not known
When he struck Kuroki, Orion was
wounded early in the fight and was
compelled to hand over his command.
To make the matter worse, the horse
of his chief of staff bolted. The d.
vision could not resist the onslaught OF
Japanese troops and gave way and re-
treated. In the meanwhile Kuropatkin
was Just launching his attack, but
when he found the Japanese were turn
ing his left he was compelled to aban-
don the offensive, withdraw and or
dered a retreat. AS it turned out. how
ever, General Stakelberg had come to
Orloff's rescue and checked the jap
anese fanking movement just before
they reached Yen Tai. Had Kuropatkin
held on a little longer the fate Of the
day might have been different, as this
was the critical moment for Kuroki
referred to in the dispatches from the
Japanese side.

Japanese Said to be Preparing for An
other Spring at the Fortress.
The almost complete quiet prevail.
ing at Lao Yang and Mukden is &C.
cepted in ST. Petersburg as the nat
ural and inevitable consequence OF
the furious activity of. the past three
weeks. The view taken at Mukden
that there is not likely to be a re-
sumption of fighting in that immediate
locality for a month is regarded as
most probably correct.
It can hardly be expected that much
actual news will develop in central
Manchuria for some time to come, and
attention is now turning toward Port
Arthur, where, as General StrossePs
latest report indicates, the japanese
are gathering strength for another
spring at the fortress.
It is taken for granted in the Rus
sian capital that there will soon be
news of Importance from Port Arthur,
since the. Japanese throughout the
war have seemed to alternate their
attentions between the beleagured for
tress and the Russian army toward
the north. 1t thus appears that 1t Is
Port Arthur's turn to keep up the ex.
citment while! Field Marshal Oyama

Japanese Have Hard Time In En-
deavor to Roundup kuropatkin's
Forces.
It seems to be definitely established
that Field Marshal Oyama's tired
troops abandoned on Wednes-
day the attempt to head of
General Kuropatkin, whose army
arrived safely at Mukden, after
frightful experiences in founder.
ing through mud and mire over the
Mandarin roads. Some descriptions Of
the scenes along the line Of retreat
are almost incredible. They tell how
the men lay down in the mud and slept
in a drenching rain.
1t is evident that the last determined
effort of the Japanese to bring Kuro-
patkin to bay was made on Tuesday.
but the Russian commandments
faced about and two corps, with artil-
.ery, beat off the Japanese, while the
remainder of the troops continued to
march to Mukden. After that the Jap
anese could only hang on to the tanks
and try to shell the retreating columns
from the hills. The outposts are still
in contact, but they are not even ex-
changing shots. ''

State Militia viii Assist In Making
Arrests, While Friends Of Accused
Declare That They Will Release
Their Friends From Prison.

The grand jury which has been in
vestigating the Horace Naples lynch
ing at Huntsville, Ala, has returned
indictments against ten members OF
the mob. The announcement of the
indictments created the widest ex.
element in Huntsville. and further
trouble is feared when ah attempt Is
made to serve the warrants and lodge
the prisoners in jail.
In faeS, open threats have been
made that If certain persons are ar
rested their friends will take them out
Of Jail.
The militia from Birmingham has
been ordered to Huntsville, and will
be stationed around the Jail imme-
diately upon their arrival, and this
seems to indicate that arrests will not
be made until that time. l99tfls1Gg2
The troops reached Huntsville on
special train late Thursday and pick
cts guard all approaches to the Jail.
No trouble is anticipated so long as
the Jail is guarded in this manner.
Captain Brown has orders to preserve
the peace Of this, community, even l.

He has camp equipment and Is pre-.

It has been learned that the gov

the double purpose of assisting in the
arrest Of the persons indicted for the
lynching Of the negro, Naples, and to
prevent the rescue of the accused
after they shall have been arrested.

RUSSIANS FALL BACK
THEY WILL NOT MAKE A STAND
AGAINST ENEMY At MUKDEN.
Kuro patkin's Plans Were Upset BY
Failure Of Major General orloff to
Hold General kuroki's Ex.
treme Right.

Following is a dispatch from st. Pet
ersburg: No fresh light has been
thrown on the situation at the front,
Unofficial information tends to confirm
the reports that General Kuropatkin Is
Withdrawing the bulk Of his army
northward from Mukden. The rain
continues at the front. The three
armies of Field Marshal Oyama are re-
ported to have united north OF the
Taitse river, but there is nothing yet
to indicate that they are suff1ciently
recuperated to resume the advance.
The best unofficial opinion is that Ku-
ropatkin does not contemplate MAX
ing a serious stand at Mukden.
The spirit, animating the Japanese
troops is shown by the translation OF
a letter written by Spartan Japanese
mother to her son, which has reached
the war Office. The letter was found
on the body of her son. 1t adjured him
to fight nobly for the mikado and his
country, and informed him that his
capture would be considered an ever
lasting disgrace upon the family an
cestors, and that if he died on the bat
tlefeld it would be an honor which
his family would celebrate for week.
A Russian correspondent says Kuro-
patkin's strategy was upset by the
failure of Major General Orloff to hold
General Kuroki's extreme right. Ac.
cording to this correspondent, Kuro-
patkin's plan was to catch Kuroki after
he had crossed the Taitse river by a
quick and clever movement. Orloff's
mission was to attack desperately
Sept. 2 the front of Kuroki's army
which had marched northwest to hold
him, and, if possible. to drive him
back toward Kuropatkin, while the lat
ter, severing Kuroki's communication,
struck with all his might at his flank

B. F. Slagel, alias Robert Romano.

Kansas, Jail, has made confession
before the county attorney, giving de-
tails of the preparations to blow up
the Florence & Cripple Creek railroad
depot at Independence, Colo, and also
the plot for the carrying out Of the
plan to blow up the indicator mine.
The depot was destroyed by nitrogly.
cerine on June z, 1904, and thirteen
people were blown to pieces, and the
vindicator mine was blown up No

Romaine, in his confession, said: y
left Canon City and went to Cripple
Creek on the 9Th Of October, 1908, and
hung around there until along the first
part Of November and went to work
on the Golden Cycle mine under Su.
perintendent Holman.
"The next night after went to work
I got in with gang Of fellows who
asked me to join the union and act as
spy around the Golden Cycle and
vindicator mines. They were after
Superintendent Holman. could not
find any way to get in there as they
wanted and told them SO. But few
evenings after the indicator mine
was blown up by dynamite machine
furnished by me. tl55 h#ls Ia
about the middle of May returned
tu Canon City and got can of glycer.
Inc and 600 feet of wire had hid in
there. On the night Of June 6 it was
planned to blow up the Cripple Creek
depot, so the next evening I got the
glycerine and wire and with an iron
prong about ten inches long and about
four inches wide at the top with two
holes in there far enough apart to
catch pistol back of the hammer, SO
that you could tie a string to the ham.
mer and not interfere with it.
Il and another man crept under the
platform and fixed things, running the
wire to the Delmonico shaft, 500 feet
away. We fooled around until the 10
O'Clock train came in. saw some Of
my friends there and realized that they
would be killed. did my best to run
down and get this thing SO 1t would
not go off, and when they saw what l
was trying to do one man grabbed me
and struck me with his pistol on the
eye and again behind the ear, where I
have scars now from those blows, and
I was knocked unconscious for short
time. When l came to again every
body in Cripple Creek was around
there and there was great excitement.
Then got out of the town as quickly
as possible. That was the 9Th, and
on the night of the 9th we all walked
down to Colorado Springs. and got
there about or 6 o'clock the next
morning. Three Of the men bought
tickets for Pueblo and | think they
went west. On the night of the 9th at
$3.50 took the Santa Fe train for the
east" t|. "'s'
