KUROPATK|N ON THE RUN
Russian General Making Desperate Efforts
to Save His Defeated Army.
REPUBLICANS SURPRISED
Georcia Contingent is Amazed Thai
President Should 5roffer CistrIct
Attorneyship to Democrat.

4 Washington special to The Al
lanta Constitution says: The announce
ment that Congressman Tate, a demo
crat, whose democracy knows no trllls
or compromises, is TO get the district
attorneyship over not only Ed Angler
the incumbent, but over several re
publican aspirants as well, has ere
ated a good deal Of CONSERVATION
among Georgia republicans in Wash
ington.
While there is nothing in this par
ticular case to warrant the suggestion
of a new policy, still some Of the re
publican oficeholders seem to think
there is enough in it to cause TEN
porary nervousness on their part.
Collector of Internal Revenue Ruck
er and Collector Deveaux Of SAVANNAH
the two colored republicans holding
high Office in Georgia, took heart w:ea
the appointment of colcred collector
at New York, but this Georgia chang
has had a somewhat chilling effect
They have been in the city for sew.
eral days, having come for the inaugl'
ration, but as their terms have nearly
a year to run, there will be no action
in their cases for a long time.
Congressman Tom Bell of the ninth
Georgia district paid a handsome com
pliment to his predecessor in that Of.
fee, Hon. Carter Tate, when in dis.
cussing the offer Of the district at.
tcrneyship to Mr.. Tate, he said:
Coming as it does without solici.
tation on his part, I see absolutely no
reason why Carter should not accept
the district attorneyship. He would
make an excellent official and l am
sure his appointment Is a credit to
the president. demonstrating as it
does policy of keeping the courts
free from partisan politics.
with a sterling democrat like Judge
Newman on the bench and with Mr..
Tate as district attorney, it can never
be charged against the federal court,
as has been charged in some other
districts, that it lends itself to parti.
san politics. If my opinion or advice
were asked should certainly say that
there can be no reason in the world
why Carter could not accept the ap.
rointment rendered him"

vARDAMAN AFTER VAGRANTs.
Mississippi Governor Issues Open Let

Mississippi Governor Issues Open Let
ter to Peace Officers Of the State.
Governor Vardaman Of Mississippi
addressed a long, open letter to the
peace officers of the state in which
he starts out with the proposition that
the white people Of the state are con-
fronted with a grave problem, taking
as his text the recent assault case
in Jackson. He says that what oc.
Cured in the capital city Is liable to
occur in any city or town in the stats
and he calls on the officers OF the law
to enforce the vagrancy laws OF the
state. Among other things he says.
Much has been said about closing
the door Of hope In the face OF the
black man." unless the officers OF the
law do their full duty in suppresshg
the increasing criminal tendency OF
the negro It looks to me like the psoD..
ability is that the door Of hope VIII
be closed in the face Of the white man.
I want the law enforced. I want the
negro protected in his enjoyment o.
life, liberty, the product Of his labor
and the pursuit Of happiness. l wans
the mob spirit discouraged in every
way, and the only way to do It Is to
enforce vigorously the law against va
grants particularly, and all criminals
Of both races if this shall be done
I feel safe in saying that crime among
the negroes in the state Of Mississippi
for the year 1905 will decrease Is per
per cent.
Officers of Mississippi, expect you
to do your duty. The peace and order
OF your respective communities have
been committed to your keeping. Most
of the crimes that have been commit
ted by negroes upon white. women
are traceable to your neglect OF duty.
The governor concludes by saying
that he has to hear Of the first negr1
who makes his living by honest toll
being guilty Of this crime.

APPALLING PLAGUE
Bubonic is Staying Its Thous-
ands in India.
HORRIBLE STORY is TOLD
Within One Week $4,000 Persons Sua
cumbed to Ravages Of Dread Pesti.
lence - Desperate Efforts to
Check Its Spread.

Advices from Calcutta, India, state
that the deaths from the plague last
week numbered $4,000. Statistics show
that the deaths from bubonic plague in
India within few years reach near
ly 100000. In 1903 the mortality
in India from the plague alone was
s5O,0O0. The number Of deaths re-
corded last week, while extraordinary,
Is not unprecedented.
The infection recently spread to Bur-
nah, where it Is making rapid strides.
This season of the year always faVors
its spread. The Indian governmentia Ia
naking every effort to eradicate tha
disease, destroying by burning whole
sections Of towns and segregating sne
inhabitants. That owing to the cn
mate and the sanitary conditions OF
the outlying districts and native sec
tons Of the towns it is difficult to
cope with the epidemic which breaks
out continually at fresh points. The
deaths are said to be 80 per cent OF
those infected. As result OF the
plague the labor supply for the man
ufacturing centers has seriously depre'
ciated. So long has the plague exist
ed in India that the native population
regard it callously.
The Lancet recently announced the
probable appointment of commission
composed of scientific Investigators,
who will assist the plague department.
of India in tine work Of eradication.
Since the outbreak at Bombay IN 1885
that town has not been free from the
plague, which has ravaged the entire
presidency and is gradually spreading
throughout India. It's victims are cnief'

CASSIE FOUND GUILTY.
jury Decides Against Mrs. Chadwick
on Trial for conspiracy-Prisoner
coiIapsas and Goes Into Mysteries.

In court at Cleveland, Ohio, Satur-
day night, Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick
was found guilty of conspiracy to de-
fraud the United States by cOnspirlnS
to procure the certification of checks
on a national bank, when there were
no funds in the bank to her credit.
She was found guilty on every count
Of the indictment upon which the jury
was at liberty to judge her-seven in
all.
The original Indictment contained
sixteen counts. Two Of these were
ruled out during the trial by Judge
Tayler, and of the remaining fourteen,
one.half charged her with securing the
certihcation Of checks without having
the proper entries made upon the
books Of the bank.
Judge Tayler in his charge directed
the jury to disregard these counts
and consider only the remaining sew
en-, whicn related to the certification
with no funds on deposit. On all OF
these the jury found against her.
Under the law she can be fined on
each count not more than $4,000 or
Imprisonment more than two years on
each count, or she may be fined a
maximum Of $4,000 and also impris-
oned for two years on each count. The
Jury reached verdict in two hours,
but it was not read until 1888 o'clock
at night.
Pending application for a new trial
sentence was suspended. While being
taken from the courtroom Mrs. Chad
wick's composure deserted her utter
". She violently threw off the arm
CT Deputy Marshal Clobitz, and that
of her son, exclaiming:
"Let me go. Oh! my God, let me
go!" She tottered in weakness and
Clobitz, together with Deputy Mar
shall Minder, stepped quickly to her
side.
I'm not guilty." she exclaimed, and
then with all the energy gone from
her voice, she moaned again and
again.
"Oh let me go, let me 60. I'm not
guilty, I tell you. Let me co."
Suddenly she fell against Judge
Wing. He caught her by the shoul-
ders and kept her from falling until
Deputy Marshal Minder came up on
the other side. Together the two men
lifted her bodily and bore her into
the elevator, which descended one
floor and she was taken, half Walking
and half carried, into the Office OF
United States Marshal Chandler and
placed upon a sofa. An attack OF hys-
terics followed that lasted fully mr.
teen minutes, her sobs and cries De-
Ing distinctly audible In the hall out
side.
In speaking of the verdict OF the
Jury J. P. Dawley, Mrs. CnadW1cKs 3
senior counsel, said that the verdict
was not according to the terms OF the
indictment and that the case woulo
he taken to the court Of appeals at
Cincinnati as soon as possible.

MAKING FOR NORTH
Fortified Positions Hastily
Abandoned and Flight
Begins Closely Pur-
sued by Japs.

Advices from the scene OF nostlli'
ties in Manchuria show that General
Kuropatkin is giving ground before
the armies of Japan, and Wednesday
he abandoned positions south anu
southwest of Mukden, burning such OF
his supplies as he could not carry
with him.
The japanese artillery is thunder
ing at the very gates Of Mukden,
which position the Russians still hold,
but which they are admittedly pre-
nared to evacuate, changing their oase
to Tie Pass, which is forty miles
north of Malkden. y
So far as the retreat has progressed
it has been orderly. What the Jap
anese may have il store for the de-
/feated army on its retirement north
ward remains to be disclosed.
There are reports that General Bell
nenkampff, the foremost cavalry gen.
eral of the Russian army in Manchu-
ria, has been cut off on the east from
the main force, and Japanese troops
in considerable numbers are said TO
be already in the vicinity Of Tie
Pass.
The retirement unquestionably cost
the Russians dear in the matt~- Of
supplies and heavy guns.
Neither commanders nor correspond
ents have yet ventured to estimate the
number killed or wounded in the
eleven days of fighting. The Russian
casualties in the fighting on Tuesday
on the left flank are said to have
been fully 1000.
A Mukden dispatch says: The Rus
slams are retiring from the line OF
the Shakhe and the left flank to the
line Of Notifications on the Hun river.
The Japanese are north Of Mukden
and advancing against the railroad at
Unguntun.
It is officially announced in TOXIC
that the Russians began retreating
Wednesday morning. The Japanese
army are pursuing them. Advices
received indicate that General Kuro-
patkin is badly beaten in the blood
lest battle of the present war.
The Russian army is leaving posi-
tons south and southeast Of Mukden.
The sky is lighted with the brilliant
glare Of burning warehouses, where
tons of commissary supplies have
been given to flames. The retirement
Is being effected in perfect order, the
Russians beating off attacks Of pursn-
Ing Japanese.
The withdrawal was necessitated by
a heavy concentration OF Japanese
west and northwest of Mukden, whith-
er they have transferred large share
Of the forces from the southern front
to reinforce the original striking force
Of General Nogi.
The Russians still held their posi-
ton at Madyapu, where a. strong at
tack is expected at any moment.
A division Of Japanese troops has
appeared north Of Mukden on the
heights west Of Hushatai station.
