No Secret Political Understanding Be-
 tween tho Two Countries.
 Berlin, Sept. 14.-(6:32 p. m. )-The Foreign Ofice here. taking notice of an article in The London Times today setting forth that a secret understand ing exists between Russia and Ger many in regard to the Far East. de- pending on Japan's defeat informs the Associated Press that Japan, twice since the Russian war ships sought refuge at Tsingtau, the German con- cersion on the Shantung peninsula. has expressed formally her satisfac- ton with Germany's careful observ- ance Of neutral obligations. besides having sent in a warship to obtain visual proof that the ships are dis armed.
 The Foreign ofice says the commer- cial treaty recently concluded with Russia contains no political clause. It Is what 1t purports to be and nothing more. Nor has Germany concluded any political agreement with Russia. The commercial treaty Is the only treaty arranged with Russia in a long time. Nor is there any special agree ment on special subjects between the two governments.
 once adds, that the United States and Russia had formed an agreement in case the United States orders the dis armament of the Lena and impute to the United States the desire to keep the ship so as to exercise some sort of pressure at the time of the peace negotiations The Russian ships have not found an asylum at Tsingtau but a prison. t

Issued Improper Certificates to Chinese
 Bound for America. e
 Oyster Bay, L.. l., Sept. 14.--Robert M. McWade. United States Consul Gen. eral at Canton, China, was today re- moved from ofice by President Roose- welt. Charges made against him re- .cently were investigated by Assistant Secretary Pierce, who went to the Ori- ent to make investigation of several of the United States consulates in China and Japan Secretary Pierce, in his re- port to the President, strongly sustains the charges made against Consul Gen. eral McWade. The order for Mc- Wade's dismissal went forward this af- ternoon. <f s'
 Following the rule in such cases. the State Department declines to make public any statement as to the nature of the charges. But they were of more or less public knowledge, particularly in the foreign settlement in China and Japan. The more serious of these alle- gations connected the Consul Generals name with the improper issuance of certificates to Chinese bound from the Philippines to the United States. There was also talk of excessive fees. Mir. McWade was one of the most widely known newspaper men in Washington and Philadelphia before his appoint ment to the consular service.

ENGLISH wARsHIP WILL WATCH
Transport Lena Must Not Moiest Ves-
 aeIa Flying British FIng.


 Victoria. B. C.. Sept. 14.-His Ma testy's ship Grafton. flagship of the Pacific squadron. which left here some days ago to take part in a heavy gun practice at Comox. returned unex- pectedly to Esquimalt early Tuesday. making the trip from Comox to her Esquimalt moorings under forced draught and in record time.
 She is now in Esauimalt harbor making ready for sea and will not fin- ish her gun practice.
 The cause of the Grafton's return from the trip from Comox is connect ed with the sudden appearance of the Russian armored auxiliary cruiser Lena. It Is understood that the Graf ton is under cabled orders from the British admiralty to protect British shipping on the American side of the Pacific at all cost.
 It depends on the decision of the United States government regarding the Lena whether the Grafton will proceed south to watch her and if any British merchantmen be molested capture and sink her.
 Should the American governments decision be an order to the Lena tc quit San Francisco harbor, withir twenty-four hours, 1t Is expected tht Grafton will leave Esquimalt harbor al her best speed, with the object of in' tercepting the Russian vessel off tho California coast.
 A significant circumstance connected with the Griftons sudden appearance in Esquimalt is that shore leave ha. been suspended.
 The big cruiser also maintains hel steam pressure at unusual strength as if expecting to use it at a moment. notice.

Chefoo. Sept. 15.-12:15 a. m.)-A Chinese who left Liatf.. promontory September 10 says that the general as-

 Chinese laborers in the work. There l are sixteen large hospitals in Port
 Arthur and field hospitals have been established at every fort.
 The preparations for resisting at the northeast forts consist chiefly of the construction of trenches and redoubts for the outposts.

GUARDED BY wARsHIPs.
The Cruiser Lena Occupies Place nt Which She First Dropped Anchor.

Which she First dropped AncnoF.
 San Francisco. Sept. 14.-Guarded by several American warships, the Rus sian auxiliary cruiser Lena lies in the same position in the bay where. she dropped anchor Sunday afternoon.
 Today. under the direction of tho United States Navy, a. third inspection of the Lena was begun and the disposi- tion of the vessel will doubtless depend upon the report of the investigation. The members ot the board are all train ed engineers and their work will be searching and conclusive. It is anti cipated that they will finish their ex. animation tomorrow.
 The visit today of Captain .Berlinsky and the Russian consul Koskavitch to the Mare Island navy yard is regarded as significant as 1t is heheved to nor tend the dismantling of the Lena |. They were courteously received by Rear Admiral McCalla. Rear Admiral Goodrich assembled all of the naval commanders In this port on board the flagship New York today and acquaint- ed them fully with all official develop ments in the case, and 1t is surmised instructed them as to procedure in the event of certain contingencies.
 It Is expected that the destroyer Perry will soon be brought down from Mare Island and added to the vessels now surrounding the Lena.
 An outcome of the arrival of the Russian cruiser will probably be the maintenance permanently in San Fran cisco harbor of number of warships to be posted to deal with any similar emergency during the Russo Japanese war. Had the Lena arrived twenty four hours later San Francisco would not have had single American war vessel, as the squadron had been or dered to sail the next day to other waters for target practice.

TRUE BILLS ARE RETURNED Ten Accused of Lynch ing of Naples. GRAND JURY YET AT WORK Instructions Asked as to Irl-
 peachment Procedure. If Evidence Warrants, Steps May 1s

 Sheriff of Madison and Huntsville's Mayor.
GRAND JURY YET AT WORK

Huntsville, Sept. 14.-tSpecial)-. After an investigation lasting 1ve days. the special grand jury empanelsd to investigate the lynching of Horace Naples, the negro who murdered John Waldrop. peddler. today returned in- dictments against ten men, charging them with being members of the mob. The grand jury has not completed its work. and 1t is expected that mora true bills will be found.
 The grand jury today in open court requested instruction as to procedure to indict the sheriff of Madison County and the Mayor of Huntsville for fail- ure to quell the mob and prevent the murder of the negro Naples.
 Desires to Know the Law.
 It was made clear that the grand jury had not definitely decided to take such steps, but information was de- sired that proper form might be obs served in case evidence showed dere. liction of duty on the part of the two officials sufficient to warrant their re. moval from of1ce.
 It Is probable that the law in such cases will be made known to the mem bers of the grand jury tomorrow by Judge Speake.
 As yet the names of the persons charged with being members of the mob have not been made p1biic as their arrests have not been effected. War rants have been issued. however. and 1t Is believed that the accused men will soon be behind the bars.
 Horace Naples murdered waldrop for his money, and was taken from the Madison County jail and 1ynched tho night of September '. A company of Guardsmen was on duty at the time, but the members of the mob fired ths jail and got possession of the negro de- spite the efforts of the soldiers and the sheriff.

SHOUT "BANZAI" AND DIE.
Desperate Charge of the Japs Who Are
 Moved Down.

Tokio Sept. 14.-(Afternoon.)- )-Gen- eral Nodzu reports that the heaviest fighting at Liaoyang occurred during the evening of September 3rd. The goth regiment, having previously lost successively two regimental and four battalion commanders, sacrifcially as sanlted and dislodged the Russians from their redoubts at Yusfangmiao. There were no Japanese officers above the rank of captain.
 Captain Yegami. commanding the re- giment, led the charge and inspired his men. The reserves unhesitatingly fill ed the gaps in the assaulting line. The men, unmindful of the wire entangle- ments and other Instructions, rushed up to the Russian works shouting 'banzai." One battalion lost all it's of fcers in the first clash and a private subsequently, commanded. One com pany was reduced to furteen or fifteen men. The regiments losses were from 1900 to 1900.
 In spit of the fatigue, at sunrise, September 4, the Japanese continued the pursuit of the Russians, but the lack of bridges forced them to tenn porarily remain south of the Taitse River.

 St. Paul. Sept. 14.-Count Osichi. a young Japanese nobleman. accompanied by rather extensive suite. who passed through St. Paul today en route to Kuroki In speaking of the Lena incf- dent in San Francisco Count Osichi said: t- e*- ~s=-- - T heard two weeks ago when in Washington that the Lena was watch ing for vessels bound for Japan for Puget Sound, and I also heard that two light cruisers of my country had been detailed to take the ship. They fol- lowed the Lena when she broke away from the vessels of the Vladivostok squadron and when the officers of the Lena make their official reports 1t will be seen that somewhere in the vicinity of Redfield Reef, hundreds of miles west of Cape Fiattery. there was am other action that has not been heard
 The Lena is badly damaged, un- derstand. but the ship is being so carefully. protected that the nature of the injuries cannot positively be de- termined. I am certain that the in juries are the result of gun shots and that the gun shots were inflicted by our cruisers. .-.--
 Somewhere of to the westward of the Farallene Islands I am confident there are two Japanese cruisers pa- trolling the coast. The captain of the ships know that the United States Gov ernment will not allow the Lena to re- main longer than Is absolutely neces- sary to complete her repairs. and when she leaves the Golden Gate there will bs a sea fight for her."
