The report throws little additional light
on the movement. except it seems to
show that the Russian squadron remained

died away. with no appearance of any of
the Russian ships.
The japanese ships searched the sur

\ report just received here through ON
cial military channels describes the Chi
nese forces marching northward as being
an undiscipined and almost grotesque
military organiza ton, showing an entire
absence of equipment and training. As
evidence of the unreliability of these
forces the following occurrence is cited:
AFRAID CAVALRYMEN

A body of Yuan-Shi-Ka cavalry was
paraded before French and German mill
tary attaches. The former asked the
commander why the cavalry remained in
the towns and had no field maneuvers.
The Chinese General answered:
Because many horse markets exist
within the interior and we know the cav
alrymen would sell their horses. disband
and leave Us without cavalry"
The report gives this as showing the
lack of reliability and unity of the
Chinese forces.
It is the Impression here that the Chi

AFTER THE FAKERS.
a Novel Enterprise to Be Started
in st. Louis.

No city has ever been more afflicted
with fake schemes than ST. Louis is at
present and promises to he during the next
nine months. The Worlds Fair has had a
very natural effect in this respect and the
business community of st. Louis is likely to
pay heavy tax for the support of worth
less schemes. unless its merchants are af-
forded some certain means of detecting
frauds. This is the work new business
enterprise, known as the Mutual Report
ing Agency, offers to undertake. 1t has
opened an office in this city and proposes
to assist merchants in putting a stop to
the fake scheme nuisance. The programme
Is to furnish full reports of all advertis-
ing and other schemes brought to the at
tention of merchants in much the same
way that mercantile agencies give infor-
nation regarding the financial stability of
individuals apd business concerns. The St
Louis agency Is associated with similar
agencies in Chicago and Buffalo. and there
can be no doubt that 1t has field of oper-
alton in which good work can be per
formed. If ii is carried out with discretion.

the agency is in the Wainwright building.

Sentence of st. Joseph Murder
er Sick With Pneumonia.
EXECUTION THIS MORNING.
Brothers of Fenton, the Victim.
Meet Train and Threaten
Life of Prisoner if There
Is Delay in Hanging.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

the murderer, who since Monday morning
has escaped three times from the officers
Of the law, will be carried from his cell
to the gallows tomorrow morning to be
hanged.
After being recaptured the second time
last night by Sheriff Spencer in a hotel at
Guilford. Dunn was brought here suffering
from pneumonia.
He was placed in the cell he formerly oc-
cupied. and jail Physician Walker has
been with him constantly all day. doing
everything to keep life in his body that
he may gay the penalty for the crime Of
which he has been convicted.
A telegram from Governor Dockery at
Jefferson City tonight says that there
Will be no State interference with the ex-
ecution planned for tomorrow morning.
The return of Dunn to the county Jail
was attended with much excitement. Curl
osity seekers interfered with workmen who
are erecting the scaffold. and the guards
had difficulty handling the crowds.
Two brothers of Alfred Fenton. the man
whom Dunn killed came to the city to-
day from their home at Rushville, and
with other relatives OF Fenton met the
train bearing the prisoner at the station.
Two of the party rode on the steps of the
police ambulance which took Dunn to the
jail.
The Fenton brothers have informed
Sheriff Spencer that If Dunn is not legally
executed at the time set tomorrow, the
jail will be stormed and the prisoner
killed.
Dunn has given up all hopes and in his
semiconscious moments expresses no fear
of dying. He has been in Jail for two
years. and his once rugged constitution is
completely shattered.
Sheriff Spencer sent word to Governor
Dockery to-day that should respite be
granted there might be an attempt made
by mob to hang Dunn, and to provide
sufficient protection.
Governor Dockery sent Adjutant Cen
eral Dameron to St. Joseph to-day to con-
fer with Colonel Stringfellow in regard to
calling out the militia, if necessary, to
protect Dunn.
