with the transformations life of the

eral attendance at the church. and to
permit the body later TO lie in state
in the city hall.

closes Plot to Sink Her Which
NearIv Succeeded.

Washington, Oct. 5.-That the battle
ship Connecticut did not sink soon aft
err she was launched at the New York

executed with surprising daring, mis-

and private detectives, are Investigate
ing the affair and there may be a ire
mendous sensation.
Several days before the launching an
attempt was made to punch a hole in
the bottom of the ship near the keel
and two of the plates were loosened.
This discovery, connection with the
finding of the spikes which were driv-
en- into the launching ways below the
water line, has made the plan of the
conspirators plain.
The hole in the ships bottom was
discovered when it was found. some
hours after the launching. that she

st. Petersburg, Oct. 5.-News from
the far east given out describes a series
of skirmishes on the southern front
OF General kuropatkin's army. the only
Importance of which lies in the fact
that the Japanese are showing a dis
position TO press forward and feel out
the Russian position.
General Mitchenko's Cossacks in ev-
cry case drove &back the opposing
forces.
Ii activity of the Japanese out
posts is doubtless intended to screen
movements of their armies and there
fore may be regarded as precursory
symptoms of final preparations for an
advance, which probably will begin
within a week, A special messenger
has brought TO the emperor General
K~uropatkin's full report of the battle
of Lao Yang. The messenger who has
been admitted TO an interview, declares
that the main army is concentrated at
Tie Pass and that it is not likely that
General KuropatSin will make Il deter
mined stand at Mukden.
General Gfippenbefg, recently, ap-
pointed to the command of the second
M~anchurian army, will be received by
Emperor Nicholas at Peterhof in the
