Kuropatl<in, timed 8 p. m. yesterday
is to the effect that the Japanese out
posts east of the railroad, along the
Shakhe river, continue to throw out
small detacnments, but they are in
varjably met and repulsed by the Rus
sian cavalry which maintains close
contact along the whole japanese
line. Daily skirmishes are occurring
but none of an important character.
A herd of cattle and few horses
have been captured by Cossacks.
According to information brought in
by Russian scouts the main Japanese
forces are still concentrated along
the Yentai branch railroad and rein
forcements are still crossing the Taitse
river, using two pontoons at Bentsihu
five miles due east of Yentai station
From the latter fact it would appear
that the preparations for the Japan
csc advance are more backward than
heretofore supposed.
The information received at the
War Office concerning the situation
al Port Arthur is not reaSsuring. The
blockade at last seems to be effective
Togos ships are arresting all
the junks which try to enter the har-
Dor and are sending them to Port
Dalny. 1t is feared that this COM
pete isolation may react on the Spir-
its of the garrison.

Grand Duke Nicholas Head.

st. Petersburg, Sept 27.-1:15 p. m
Although an official announcement to
the effect is not expected Immediate
iy since it will require some little time
to get Russia's second army in the
field the designation of Grand Duke
Nicholas Nicholaivitch, the inspector
general of cavalry, as commander-in-
chief, is regarded as practically set
tied. Grand Duke Nicholas is regard
ed as being extremely we'll fitted for
this great responsibility. He has youth
and an iron constitution, but above all
resolution and untiring energy. With
these qualifications whatever he lacks
in military experience and ability as
a Strategist can be supplied by plac-
ing at his disposal the most able mill
tary advisers of the Russian army.
Viceroy AleXieff is regarded as al
most certain to return here. He is re-
garded as likely to retain his title and
come to st. Petersburg, nominally in
the capacity of adviser Of the Emperor
and thus efface himself as a factor of
the military situation in the Far East.

SERVICES AT THE TABERNACLE
They Grow in Interest and Attract
Large Congregations.

The special services at the Baptist
Tabernacle which have been in prog
ress for the last week continue with
much interest, with two services a
day at 4:30 in the afternoon and at
7:45 in the evening.
Last afternoon Prof. T. Neil john
son. of the Baptist University for
Women, delivered a very able and
helDful address on Missions. his sub
iect being the "Great Commission
at Home and Abroad" Prof John
sons addresses are always character
lied by special thought ard instruc-
ton, but his effort last afternoon is
thought to have been the best yet
delivered from this student of this
"worId wide eheme." It was truly
a scholarly effort and was heard
with appreciative interest.
Last night Ray c. w. Duke. Of
Elizabeth City. who is assisting the
pastor, Rev. DR.. ]. G. Massee in the
special meetings, preached an earn
est and helpful sermon, taking for
his text "There Shall be no more
Seas" from Rev, 21 chap. 1st verse,
and from it produced most timely
discourse.
This afternoon Rev. c. ]. Thomas,
of the First Baptist church of Dur
ham, will preach. Mr.. Thomas
needs no introduction, for those who
hear Kim will count it worth while.
And tonight again Mr.. Duke will
preach The public are cordially in
vited toattend all of these meetings,
which will continue through the
week.

A sAyORY ROOSEVELT ROAST.
w. w. Kitchen Does Him up to
Turn. 'TWOuid Make BOoker'S
Mouth Water.
Especial to News and Observed

Especial to News and Observer
Greenville, n. c., Sept. 28.-Hon
w. w kitchin made Il fine speech
here this afternoon to % large Pitt
county audience. He spoke mainly on
National issues, and drew striking and
effective COMPARISON of the principles
OF the two parties, showing that the
Republican high tariff ana protection
policy were robbing the people and
fostering monopoly and trusts. Vivid
illustrations were given, showing that
goods of American manufacture are
sold at higher prices at home than
abroad.
The extravaganza of the Republican
administration was given q sharp
thrust by the speaker, who pointed out
the alarming rate at which the un-
nenesSary government expenses are
piling burdens on the people.
Roosevelt's negro policy was
strongly arraigned. Mr.. Kitchin said
that while the President in one sense
may have had right to ask negro
to dine with him, the criticism fol-
lowing had dcne good IN preventing a
repetition of the performance. The
incident of the President selecting a
negro lawyer to second his nomina-
ton at the Chicago convention, the
appearance together on the convention
platform of a white girl and a negro
boy, Roosevelt's persistence in ap-
pointing Crum, the negro, collector at
Charleston, and the Indianola post
office affair, all were referred to as
sliC wing the disregard by the Presi-
dent of fixed Southern sentiment and
principle.
1t was a great speech and well re-
ceived.
