Mukden, Nov. 1.-THE japanese are
concentrating on their right, left and
center, undoubtedly with the impress
sion that they must be assured of sue
cess before attacking, as it will be i'm
possible for the armies to remain in
the field without shelter, owing to the
bitter cold nights. The Russians have
greatly strengthened their positions
and hope to hold Mukden through the

Aside from the technical informa-

All the delegates paid close attention
to the meeting in the various section

profitable. The Mexican delegates are
enthusiastic over the prospect of be-

will return to organize a congress for
Mexico, but they want utilization with
this congress also.
Among the resolutions introduced

congress include Texas in the list OF
states that may benefit from the in

another repeating and emphasizing

The best disinfectant of all is sunlight.
II destroys by its very brightness all sorts
of germs and at the same time helps the
growth of plants and animal life. Doubt
less all have noticed that mould grows
during the night and in dark, damp cellars.
Bright sunlight quickly destroys germs,
mould or other organisms. That is why il
is best to let the sunlight into your houses
for its purifying influence.
AT the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute, Buffalo, N. Y, DR.. Pierce, chief con-
sulting surgeon, started experiments some
three years ago, with the Finsen light in
conjunction with the x-ray in the treat
ment of diseases. He got excellent results
therefron, and was among the first to adapt
this remarkable cure to many cases which
il was formerly supposed must of necessity
be treated by the knife.
Not only is Dr. R. v. Pierce notable for
his surgical achievements at his hospital in
Buffalo, but nearly a third of a century ago
he discovered certain roots and herbs
which were natures remedies, and sue
ceeded in putting them up in a form that
would be easily procured and ready to use.
This he called DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. II maintains the patients nu-
triton by enabling him to eat, retain, digest
and assimilate nutritious food. It over

Admiral Rojestvensky, who is at Vigo.
Spain, has, so far as the public is in
formed, made no official explanation
of the events of the night of October

vICE-ADMIRAL ROJEsTvENsKY.
Commander OF the Russian Baltic F7sst)
Besides the five Russian ships at
vigo, there are others reported at
villagaria and Arosa Bay. They have
been notified that they viii not be
permitted to coal in Spanish ports.
Five German colliers are at vigo.
Admiral Rojestvensky has informed
the Spanish authorities that his ships
at Vigo have sustained such damage
that they will not be able to leave port
within the "a hours allowed warships
of a combatant in a neutral port The
tone OF the London press Is notably
more bellicose to-day than 1t has
been at any period Of the existing
crisis.
The Russian reply to Great Britain's
note on the subject of the North Sea
tragedy has been received by the
British government. II expresses deep
regret at the occurrence and promises
full reparation so soon as an official
report is received from Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky.
Madrid dispatches comment severe
| ly upon the attempt of the Russians
at Vigo to defy the Spanish govern
ment by the pretense that their ves-
sells have been damaged and by pro-
ceeding to coal from German steam
ers, and also on Admiral Rojestven-
sky's alleged explanation that firing
on an approaching vessel was neces-
sary for the protection of his squad

The Morning Posts Copenhagen
correspondent gives a report that the
captain of a British steamer after
passing the Baltic squadron Friday
evening in the North Sea, saw two
miles away a two funnelled steamer
in distress, which apparently sank be-
fore he was able to reach her. 1t is
| suggested that the steamer had been
attacked by the Baltic squadron.
st. Petersburg, Oct. 27.-An official
of the admiralty stated this morning
that no word had yet been received
official continued:
"The delay in getting the Russian
| version of the North Sea affair is ex
ceedingly embarrassing to this gov
| ernment 1t is felt that. in the inflam-
ed state of British public opinion, the
inexplicable absence of any official re-
| port is becoming a most serious factor
and renders still more difficult an al
ready delicate situation"
While the good faith of the Russian
| government in its efforts to probe the
affair is not questioned, 1t is evident
from renewed British inquiries at the
foreign Office and admiralty on Wed
nesday that while no time limit for a
response to the British note has been
/ fixed, King Edwards government is
neither in a humor nor a position to
brook unreasonable delay. 1t is re-
allied here that each days delay will
render the temper of the people OF
both countries more uncertain.
