Mukden, Oct. 1.-THE battle was
night, being especially heavy at mid
night. The Russians retain their po-
sitiOn along the Shakhe river and have
made frequent attacks upon the Jap
anese, capturing six of the latter's
guns. The eastern army is helping
the western forces There has been
very heavy artillery fire today. The
fighting is now centered on the plain.

JaDs Are Not Jubilating.

Even the japanese, to whom the
great victory is of paramount impOr-

from the field Of battle calmly, and
there can be heard no shouts in the
streets proclaiming the victory of their

World May Demand Peace.

A member of the diplomatic corps,

Aside from the strike of garment
workers, developments of the past week
have tended to strengthen confidence
One political convention has ended and
although its action was almost a fore

phere is slightly clearer. The fiscal
year is drawing to close with nation
nj finance In sound condition, the small
shrinkage in Federal customs receipts

most important trade influence Just
the past week has brought no setback.
Seasonable weather has stimulated dis
tribution of merchandise. retail bust
ness improving very noticeably at
far for June are surprisingly satisfac-
tory, an increase over last year of 81
per cent being reported
Few changes are noted in the situa-
ton at iron furnaces and steel mills.
Nominally the list Of prices remain the
same although small concessions are
reported on some orders. The average
OF all products of the industry is
which were practically confined to pig
iron.
Many authorities anticipate a revival
of the iron industry in the fall and
others believe that there will be no
material change until spring. Btu
minous coal and coke feel the stagna-
tion keenly but hard coal Is moving
freely.
Western hide markets have ruled
very dull. Footwear statesmen return
ing from Western trips report a good
sample business in spring shoes but
wholesalers are conservative regarding
supplementary fall orders.
In the primary market for cotton
goods further reductions in prices have
occurred chiefly in staple lines of print
ed caIicoes. Thus far the response 10
lower prices has been most discourag-
ing.
New lines OF lightweight woolens
have been opened without changing
weight season has proved much better
than anticipated. The raw wool mar
ket is very strong despite small buying
by the mills.
Failures this week numbered 227 in
the United States against 223 last year
and in Canada 80 compared with 10 q
year ago.

of almost midsummer dizziness. Prices
generally except cotton and textiles
show few important changes and real

favorable comparisons than the early
spring months, while bank clearings

Courts Juri.daction Attacked.

A petition was filed in the office
of the clerk of the United States Court
for the Northern District of Alabama
this morning by the Kyle Lumber
Company, of Gadsden. relating to the
bankruptcy proceedings in the matter
of the Southern Car and Foundry Com
pany and attacks the Jurisdiction of
the United States Court for the East
ern District of Tennessee and asks the
court for the Northern District of Ala
bama to rescind the order transferring
the adjudication of the bankruptcy
proceedings to the court for the East
ern District of Tennessee and to have
them removed to the court for the
Northern District of Alabama. The
lumber company says that inasmuch
as the Southern Car and Foundry Com
pany neither has Its domicile in the
Eastern District of Tennessee. nor its
principal place of business. the court
for that district has no jurisdiction;
and as the Southern Car and Foundry
Company does have its principal place
of business in Birmingham which is
within the jurisdiction of the federal
court for the Northern District of Ala
bama, that the cases be removed back
to said court. The question raised is
the validity of the orders and DEGREES
in the premises of the court for the
Northern District of Tennessee.

contention was that Brown had allow

of bills of lading. The defense set up
that Mr.. Brown had received instruc-

the grain company to do this. The

Negro Plank Disguised.

Prominent Democratic and Republic
can citizens of Birmingham in discuss
ing the Republican platform as enun-
ciated at Chicago, state that the ne
gro issue plank inserted therein was a
great mistake and will prove a big
boomerang for the Democrats. Col.
William Youngblood. former Republl-
can National Committeeman from Ala
bama, is quoted:
The action of the Republican party
in placing a negro suffrage plank in the
party platform was a great mistake.
1t is a stab at every movement to or
ganize a respectable white Republican
party in the South. Worse than that,
1t stamps the Republican party not only
as sectional party, but as race par
ty 1t makes the negro question an
issue. and that is just what the negro
wants. Politically, he desires to be
made such an he cuts no figure in poll
tics. The convention blundered by
adopting this plank"
Col. Henry B. Gray. who was tempo
rary chairman of the last State Demo-
cratic Convention, speaking of the
plank. said:
'It shows, the true colors of the Re
publican party on this question. 1t
shows that 1t is a negro party. The
Republicans have made the race issue a
live question and have squarely slap
ped the South in the face. 1t means
that sectionalism has been revived by
the Republicans"
Chairman B. A. Thompson of the
County Democratic Executive Commit
tee, said that the Republicans have
forced the issue on the negro question.
He said:
1T looks to me as II this action will
now compel the Democrats to nomln-
ate Cleveland. l have not been a
Cleveland man, but we know he Is In
sympathy with the South on the negro
question, and he can be elected. The
East and the South can elect him."
