Late War News.

St. Petersburg. Sept. 26. "A
dispatch has been received from
Kuropatkin announcing that the
japanese are preparing an ex-
tensive turning movement east
! of Mukden. A large force is ad-
vancing from Lao Yang by way
of Taitche. to Tsianschan.
Skirmishes have occurred in the
valley of the Hun river, and at
lnpu, between Bentsiaputze ard
the railroad. There were many
casualties at Inpu.
Doubts are beginning TO be
felt as 10 whether it will be posi-
bio to continue the campaign
through the winter which be
gins in Novem Der. The. Chinese
have been unable to harvest
their crops and there probably
will be much distress, as it is
very difficult To bring up stores
from China for the native popu
lation
The division and reorganiza-
ton of the Manchurian army,
regarding which there have been
rumOrs ever since the battle of
Lao Yang, was officially an
nounced to day in an imperial
rescript appointing General
Grippenberg commander of the
Third army corps, in the prov
ince of Wilma, as commander of
the second army now being
modified for immediate dispatch
to the far East, leaving General
Kuropatkin in command of the
first army.
The Emperor is personally
convinced that the political, as
well as the military prestige of
the empire, is at stake, and that
every other consideration must
give way before the exigencies of
war. The resources of the en-
pire in men and money must be
drained, if necessary, in order
to turn the scale and vindicate
the power of Russia.
The reorganization of Russia s
forces in the far East by the APP
pointment of General Grippen-
berg to command the second
, army, has been received with
much satisfaction by the press.
Even the Novoe Vremya. which
, has been urging the promotion
of General KurOpatkin to the
: rank of com mander- in chief,
recognizes the i'm accessibility of
: confiding the vast host now to be
assembled to the commander of
. the forces actually in the field.
) Other papers warmly endorse
l the motives for the formation of
} the Second army and the evident
( determination to prosecute the
war with increased vigor The
Sviet, whose editor. M. Kama
rolf, formerly was a colonel III
5 the army, and therefore peculiar
? ly fitted to appreciate the sig
? nificance of the new departure
? says
r Hitherto General Kuropatkin
7 has been chief of all the land
l forces in the far East Although
] enjoying the fullest independ
| ence as a matter of fact he was
: appointed in the character of the
] viceroy's assistant. Neverthe-
less, all the responsibility was
/ his. Now he will share it with
2 General Grippenberg and both
will be under the guidance of a
: commander in chief.
| The name of Grand Duke
r Nicholas NicholaeYitch, inspector
: general of cavalry, early in the
war, was on everybody's lips as
| likely to be made commander-in-
2 chief and it continues to be re-
| ported that he will be placed in
i command of the Russian forces
] in the far East, but no paper
: here ventures to publish the
! rumor pending an official an
i, nouncement of his appointment.

he done so | should have made trouble

his main business was to drive about
the town in light top buggy and look
mysterious.
The vehicle in question was standing
before the door of the hotel. and the
horse was fastened to an iron hitching
post. AS we approached the spot from

far deceive himself but he was per
fectly sincere in his opinion and per
sisted in crcditing us with the votes Of
men who were Us sure to vote the hel-
vim ticket as Kelvin was himself.
Among them were two members Of the
present directory Of the company. 1t
was they who had objected to moving
the office. Us mentioned somewhere
i'll the carly part of this narrative.

had made Il startling prediction. in re-
gard to Bum and that it had been YER

which had stood in my maine. But |
| had received Bunns solemn pledge
