Godzyana, Manchuria, July 19.-In
conversation with a correspondent re-
gardtng the present military situation,
General Battjanoff, commander of the
Third Manchurian army, today adopt
ed most optimistic tone. He said the

essarles for attaining an ultimate vic

halin, and further reports of the Japa
nese operations there are not expected
in the near future.

TO SAVE $4,000
City Expects to Govern Itself
More Cheaply.
Will Save So, 900 in Fire Depart
ment Alone.
IN NEXT FISCAL YEAR
Street Department to Save Over
$4,000.
Police Department Will Run
$4,000 Higher.

The estimates of the probable running
expenses of the various city depart
ments will be submitted by Chairman
Howe of the council committee of the
ways and means, to the members of that
committee at meeting Friday even
ing.
The estimates show that the city will
probably effect a saving of $12, ,014.23 in
the year ending with March 81, 1906,
over the corresponding year ending
with March 81, 1905.
The saving is estimated principally
from the returns made from the fire
department, street commissioners de-
partment and that of the electric light
plant. The first named shows a reduc-
ton in its estimate of about $4,000, the
second one of $1,000, and the last about
81, 300. Increased estimates are shown
from the office of the city physician,
police department, city attorney and
the food inspector.
The total estimated expenses for the
new year are given as $147. .249. SO and for
the year ending March 81, 1905, $159,
263. 80.
The total expenses, including niscel-
laneous. is given last year at STA 1884,
The actual expenditures as shown by
a report from the city clerk was $173,-
4ss. 80
Il Think said S. T. Howe this morn
ing, that the miscellaneous expendi-
lures will be about the same, last year
they ran about $3.50 It's a hard mat
ter to estimate this matter of miscellan-
eous expenditure. You can make it as
big as you have mind to, but be-
lieve would place it at about the same
amount as last year. The report OF the
city clerk showed that the city saved
about $500 on the estimates. 1 believe
that we will do as well this year"

fiscal year ending March 81, 1905, and

Leavenworth, Kansas & Western was
hled with the board of railroad COM
m1ssioners in the case brought against
it by the Holton Electric company and
the Holton Ice company for a reduc-

 Convenes.
TAFT HAS HARD WORK ID DO

Washington, September 22.-(Special.)-' J. E. B. Stuart, the son of the Confed- crate cavalry leader. who was nominated by the President last summer for the Newport News, Va. eollectorship, and then, in partial return proceeded to turn out most of the democrats in the office, will have a rocky road in the Senate se- curing confirmation. It is said to be tho intention of democratic senators to hold up the case indefinitely, ask for an in- yestigation and bring to the Senate all the information the civil service commis- sion has on the subject.
 Opposition to the confirmation of Stuart will be based on his recent action in promoting certain inspectors under him who were republicans and dismissing others who were democrats. It was alto- gether against him that the favoritsm shown the inspectors who were promoted was due to their politics. The civil ser- vice commission investigated these charges and reported to the President. The re- suit was a good hard call down from the President himself, whose civil service views could evidently not reconcile them selves with the methods adopted by Stuart for building up decent republican party in the south.
 OppOSllloH tO lHe cOHllImdtlOn WILL De grounded on "Flagrant violations of the civil service law" Senator Martin of Vir- glnia, who is in Washington today, just after his big victory over Governor AIon- tague, will be the second ranking mem- Der of the commerce committee in the new congress.
