VOTERS ASSISTANT LISTS
SUBMITTED TO GOVERNOR
No Controversy This Year
Over Names Sent in by
County Chairmen
sneclal to The Evening Journal.

Dover. Sept. n.-Governor HUM, in
chambers at the executive offices, has
had submitted 70 him the first lists tor
the appointment Of voters assistants. The
lists are from various county chairmen
OF the two political parties polling the
largest number Of votes at the recent gem
eral election. Each county chairman sub
mits under the law, a list of the names
OF three available Democrats or Repub-
licals, whichever organization the petit
tioning chairman represents, one OF the
three from each voting precinct to be Sc
lected as the voters assistant represent
ing that party.
The lists are being submitted this year
without controversy. Just prior 10 the
last election there was a spirited inter-
change of letters between State Chairman
Willard Salisbury OF the Democrats and
Governor HUM and there was a reported
move on the part Of the Democratic leader
TO check the work OF the assistants by an
Injunction from Chancellor Nicholson,
Democrat, applied for by the State chair
man of the Democrats.
This talk has been resumed this year
by the Democrats, now that the first
steps toward securing the voters assist
ants have been taken, but Republicans
meet it with the interrofatlon: WHO arc
you going to enjoin?" The governor, they
claim, cannot be enjoined. and If each
voters assistant so appointed under the
law, IS to be served with an Injunction
keeping him away from the polls, another
will be in readiness, so some Republicans

81. Petersburg, Sept. 14.-The contin.
ued delay IN the receipt here OF any
thing like a detailed Official account ell.
ther Of the battle Of Liaoyang or OF the
present situation at the front Is prov
ing more irritating to the public Of st,
Petersburg than any previous phase Of
the war and has given rise to numer-
GUS alarmist stories OF the alleged pre-
carious situation OF General Kuropat-
kin's army. None Of these stories, how
ever are traceable TO any authentic
source.
There is no current news to record,
while If General Kuropatkin has trans.
mitted any full account OF the recent
great battle Il has not been allowed to
circulate. The persistent silence is do
ing more than anything else to dis
credit the Russian commander In chief
in the eyes OF the public, with whom
he has heretofore been an almost del
fed hero.
Reports that the Chinese are making
preparations TO occupy conquered ter
rltory are creating some uneasiness.
The authorities here are unanimously
OF the opinion that General Kuropat-
kin win not withdraw from Mukden
without accepting battle. II Is expect.
ed that he will leave $4,000 men to de-
fend Mukden, while the remainder OF
his army retires TO Tie pass. It is be-
lieved that General Kuropatkin has
more than 100000 men.
The general stan said that since the
battle Of Liaoyang General Kuropatxin
had been re-enforced by two army
corps II is believed that the re-en.
forcements Of artillery amount TO fully
800 guns.
The war ofice authorizes full denial
OF the report circulated by the Morning
Post Of London to the effect that 1900
men OF Lieutenant General Zassou.

denies the report from the same source
that the general has been wounded
and further denies the statement from

ADMIRAL GOODRICH INVESTIGATES

Reports That Temporary Repairs viii
Take Six Weeks-Eisht Months De-
lay II New Boilers Ars-Put In--Presi-
dent Settles Conflict Of Authority.
Washington, Sept. 14.-It was stated
by a high Official in the administration
that the Lena would probably be dis
mantled and lie at San Francisco until
after the close OF the war between
Japan and Russia
The important development OF the
day was the clearing up OF the official
muddle arising out Of the doubt as to
which Of Ave departments OF the gov
eminent should deal with it. II was
finally decided by the president that
the state and navy departments should
treat the case, acting jointly, a deci-
sion calculated greatly 10 simplify It's
handling.
A telegram from Admiral Goodrich
at San Francisco was received, show
ing that on his own initiative he had
had one OF his officers make prelimi-
nary examination OF the Lena, aud had
learned that temporary repairs would
occupy six weeks, while new boilers
would involve eight months delay.
The president approved the admira's
action and decided that he should con-
tinue 70 handle the case in San Fran
cisco under directions from the state
and navy departments. This involved
further expert examination Of the
ship. The Russian government did not
object; at least, the Russian consul at
San Francisco gave that understands
Ing, and within a day or two, with the
assistance Of expert mechanics from
the Union IrOH works, Admiral Good
rich Will be able 10 report more ex-
actly on the repairs. The admiral also
adopted the precnutlon OF guarding the
Lena with his own vessels, course
also approved by the department.
Time Given For Repairs.
Pursuant TO the presidents instruc-
tions Acting Secretary Adee. for the
state department, and Captain Pills
bury for the nsvy department had two
prolonged conferences, and the result
was the preparation Of instructions to
Admiral Goodrich, which, it is under
stood. were wired to the president for
his approval.
There is good ground to believe that
these instructions contemplate the al
lowance Of sufficient time to the Lena
to make temporary repairs. However,
there is a growing belief here that the
vessel will be obliged 70 intern In the
end, for II is altogether likely that by
the time she could be made ready to
go to sea one or more Japanese cruis-
ers would be of the Golden Gate ready
to sink or capture her. Foreseeing such
an emergency as a request for the
right TO intern, the officials have been
considering what shall be done with
the whether they may be allow
ed 10 return 10 Russia on parole or
must be interned on their ship in San
Francisco harbor. On this point no de-
cision has been reached.
