HEAVY FORCE IN FRONT OF

Toxic, Feb. According to re-
ports from the Shakhe river the Rus
SLAMS are showing increased activity
on both tanks and are extending and
strengthening their right. They also
seem to be concentrating a heavy force
on their left in front of General Ku-
roki F'ushun is the base of the late
operations and it is estimated that the
Russians there number siXsdiYisions.
The impression exists that General
Kuropatkin is preparing to assume the
aggressive. The weather is still un-
favorable, but the excessive cold will
soon be over.
Chinese reports to the effect that
General Kuropatkin is preparing to
abandon the Shakhe river line and
retire northward are discredited here.

of top rock while '.gunboat' loaded
with eighteen men on their way to
work was going down the shaft. The
bodies were not brought to the surface
until noon.
Two of the injured were removed
to the Pottsville hospital and although
they are badly crushed about the body
and legs their injuries are not thought
to be fatal. The others were cut and
bruised and suffered from other minor
injuries.
The No. 2 slope where the accident
occurred is known as the "gunboat"
slope and is used solely for lowering
workmen into the mines. Two tracks
lead into the shaft. On the trip pre-
ceding the one on which the accident
occurred the .gllnboat" knocked down
some timbers on the east track. The
car containing the men struck the dis

AS DIRECTORS OF RAILROAD.
PANAMA CANAL COMMISSIONERS
RECEIVED FEES FOR At
TENDING. MEETINGS.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The following
extract of the minutes of the isthmian
canal commission at its meeting held
Oct. II last, explanatory of the direc-
tors fees from the Panama Railroad
company by members of the canal
commission, was laid before the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce at the conclusion Of the
days hearing by Chairman Hepburn,
having been received by him from
Commissioners Harrod and Grunsky:
s'The commissioners were also in
formed by the chairman that at a re-
cent conference with the president the
matter OF attendance fees paid to the
directors attending meetings provided
by the bylaws of the Panama Railroad
company was referred to and that the
president desired the commission to
be informed that his order fixing the
compensation of the commissioners
was not intended to prevent the ac-
ceptance Of such fee
No action in the matter was taken
by the committee.
The letter Of Commissioner Grunsky
encloses a communication from him
to Vice President Drake of the rail-
road company Of Sept. 13 last, in which
he returns unopened an envelope
containing his fee for the first meeting
he attended. He states that he did not
refuse the envelope at the time it was
handed him at the close of the meet
ing because he did not wish to en-
barrass his associates on the commits
sion. He says he could not construe
the attendance fee other than com
pensation and must decline to ac-
cept it.
Commissioner Grunsky stated that
the words the president in the COM
MISSIONS minutes referred to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

Washington, Feb 2O.-The senate
convened i'll secret session at Ii a. M.
to continue consideration of the ques-
ton OF the admissibility as testimony

MYsTERloUsLY MURDERED.
ST. Paul Butcher KILLED in His Place

ST. Paul Butcher Killed in His Place
of business.
ST. Paul, Feb. Christian II.
Schindeldecker, butcher, was MUIR
dered in a most shocking fashion in
his butcher shop at 523 West Seventh
street. His body was slashed and
hacked i'll many places.
The corpse was found in the rear
room OF the shop by an employe of
Schindeldecker at l2:45 p. m., almost
literally cut to pieces. The murder
was probably committed at 1890.
It appeared as if some person had
struck Schindeldecker in the head
with a blunt instrument and knocked
him sense1ess. The murderer had
then completed his work by dragging
the body, dead or alive, into the rear
room and fiendishly aslashing it after
the manner of maniac.
The murder was not the work of
thieves, but of some one bent upon
revenge. Nothing in the shop was
disturbed

AMENDED IN COMMITTEE.
Senate Makes Radical Changes i
House Canal Bill.

House Canal Bill.
Washington, Feb 20.-The senate
committee on interoceanic canals has
amended the Mann canal bill passed
by the house to conform to the senate
bill introduced by Senator Kittredge.
BY this course, according to the opin-
ion expressed in the committee, the
prospects We're improved for favorable
action on some canal legislation on
which both houses can agree.
The principal difference between the
bills and the matter over which the
greatest controversy is anticipated is
a provision in the house measure abol-
ishing the isthmian canal commission
The senate amendment strikes out this
provision and leaves the commission
as it is. compromise has been sug-
gested looking to the reduction of the
commission to three members and
placing it wholly under the supervision
of the secretary of war
An amendment of this character has
been prepared and probably will be
offered While the bill is under consid-
Grafton in the senate.

FIFTY VESSELS OVERDUE.
Believed Number of the Belated
Craft Are Lost.

- Il : = y
New York, Feb. 20.-Fifty vessels
are reported overdue on both sides OF
the Atlantic. This breaks all records
for several years past. A large pro-
portion are schooners destined for this
port.
Reports of incoming ships sailing
through miles of lumber and wreck
age between Sandy Hook and Hatteras
do not reassure those ashore who are
interested in the belated craft
1t is estimated that the welfare of
over 1000 sailors is in doubt
The British steamer Nutfeld, which
left Mobile Dec. 3 for Havre, is among
the overdue craft and is supposed to
have gone down with her crew of
twenty men. The British steamer
Skidley is out thirty-nine days from
Shields for Baltimore. She has twen-
ty-five men as crew.
