ANOTHER INDICTMENT.
Grand Jury to Make New Presentment
Against Machen

August w. Machen, now serving term
of two years at Moundsville, w. Va, will
be brought back here, probably within a
month, to defend new indictment which
the district attorney intends to have re-
turned against him and George E. Lorenz
and Martha j. Lorenz of Toledo, Ohio, and
William G. Crawford of this city.
The securing of new Indictment to take
the place of that returned by the grand
jury July 1, 1903, has been decided on, in
view of certain developments. which have
cropped out recently. Just what these de-
does not feel justified in impartng to the
public at this time. But it has been de-
cided. and counsel for the defendants
Machen, Lorenz and Crawford have been
notified that the case will be probably
called for trial within thirty days.
AS stated in yesterdays Star, some doubt
existed in the mind of District Attorney
Beach as to the ACCESSIBILITY of having
Machen brought here from Moundsville and
compelled to prepare defense to this in
dctment. growing out of the purchase of
satchels and straps from the Postal Device
I ford contract. The Department of Justice,
matter. advised that there was no i'm
propriety in compelling the attendance OF
a.! Machen at the trial, and that it was not
! necessary for the government to await the
expiration of the sentence now being served
/ by Machen before proceeding with its case
| against Crawford and the others indicted
/ with him.

RUSsIA'S FIGHTING FORCE.
Oyama Said to Have 265, 900 Regulars
100000 Reservists, $50 Guns

The army organ in St Petersburg pub
fishes official statistics of Field Marshal
Oyamas forces, based on regimental num-
bers on the uniforms of the japanese killed
during the engagements with General
kuropatkin's forces.
According to this report. General Kuroki.
commanding the japanese right. has sew
enty-six battalions eleven squadrons and
306 guns about So geo men, besides sew
enty to eighty reserve battalions. General
Nodzu commanding the center. has sixty
battalions, six squadrons and 19S guns. or
81, 600 men. General Oku, commanding the
left. including General Nogi's forces, has
ninety-eight battalions twenty-three squad
rons and 342 guns, or 1l5,G00 men. The
number of reservists with Generals NodZu
and Oku is unknown.
The total of Field Marshal Oyama's reg
ular troops is placed at coo cavalry and
infantry and so guns. The total number of
reservists is probably 100000. Military men
estimate General kuropatkins superiority
at about 5000 men, without including the
10th Army Corps, which is not yet in the
far east.
These figures likely to dash the hopes
of the peace party, which has distinctly
been acquiring influence in high quarters
during the last few days.
