kuropatkin Not Killed.

st. Petersburg, June 29.-The gen.
eral staff announces that 1t has abb
solutely nothing to support the many
wild reports that General Kuropatkin
has been killed or has committed sui
eide and that portion of the Russian
army is surrounded. On the contrary,
the staff reports that the Russians
have achieved a considerable victory.
according to information in posses
sion of the staff the operations thus
far have been in the nature OF pre-
liminaries for a general engagement,
which has not begun.
They regard the movement of the
Japanese in Korea as being most seri-
Gus, believing that it indicates their
determination to drive a wedge north

stok before the peace negotiations be-
gin. There are indications that the
Russians purpose to offer resistance
at the Tumen river.

Cannot Tax franchises.

Cleveland, Ohio, June 2s.-In a de-
cision rendered yesterday Judge Law
renee holds that the auditor of Cuya-
hoga county cannot place a valuation
upon the franchises of several public
corporations of this city when rating
the holdings of these corporations fcr
taxation.
The suit was brought by the Cleve-
land Gas Light and Coke Company
the Peoples Gas Company and the
Cleveland Electric Illumination Com
pany to resist the collection of taxes
on increased valuation of the respec-
tive franchises of the above named
companies. the amount of increase be-
ing over SS0,00O,000.
The decision holds that franchises
are not tangible property and their
value cannot be placed at greater
sum than that fixed by the Board Of
Revenue.

CHASE is IN COMMAND
REMOVAL PRONOUNCED ILLEGAL
Attorney General Miller Decides That
Governor Peabody Exceeded
His Authority.

Denver. June 29.-According to an
opinion handed down yesterday by
Attorney General Miller. Gen. John
Cnase is brigadier general of the Ma
tional Guard of Colorado, and the
appointment by Governor Peabody OF
Col. Edward Verdeckberg last Janu-
ary to the position was illegal and
void.
Copies Of the opinion were sent to
Governor Mcdonald, General Chase
and Colonel Verdeckberg's attorney
late in the afternoon. Colonel Yer
deckberg, it is understood, will at
once institute quo warranto proceed
ings to oust General Chase, although
Rice w. Means, Colonel Verdeckberg's
attorney, declared last night that no
decision as to further action had been
reached nor would be until he had read
the opinion, a copy of which he had
not yet seen, and until it had been
submitted to Colonel Verdeckberg,
who is now in California.
Governor Mcdonald said last night
| that he would let the entire matter
| rest now on Attorney General Miller's
decision, as he understood the ques-
tion was to be fought out in the courts
whichever way the opinion had re-
suited.
According to the attorney general,
the entire question of the removal of
General Chase by Governor Peabody
hinges on the fact that while the gov
ernor had perfect right to remove the
brigadier general of the National
Guard of Colorado for cause and to
appoint successor, he was Obliged
| by constitution statute and army reg,
ulations to state the cause and to order
forthwith court martial to determine
the merits of such cause.
'sWe have gone into this matter at
great length" concludes the opinion,
land We are unable to reach any other
| conclusion than that the order made
| by the governor on January 8, 1905,
is void and therefore did not remove
General Chase from the office of brig
| adler general; that the appointment
of Colonel Verdeckberg to the position
of brigadier general was illegal and
void, because the law provides for
only one brigadier general"
The opinion further says: "The or
der of Governor Peabody provided for
the removal of General Chase for
cause. The authorities already cited
from this state and others show that
removal for cause must be accom-
panied by a statement of the cause
and notice and hearing. These essen
tials were not complied with in the
attempted removal of General Chase,
and the failure to do so renders the
order void and of no effect, and its
issuance did not in any manner ope-
rate to remove General Chase from
the service"

ARRESTED IN BOSTON.
Colorado Mining Man Prosecuted by
Creditors.

Boston, June 2S.-Henry w. Com
stock, the mine operator who recently
reported to the police that he had
been robbed of securities valued at
100000 from Fall River boat, was
held for the grand jury yesterday on
the charge of larceny of two $1,000
bonds. Bail was fixed at $4,000. Mr..
Comstock declared that he would
make no endeavor to secure bondsmen
and he was committed to Jail. Mrs.
Cora rockingham of Atlantic, Massa-
chusetts, is the complainant
james e. Hickey. manager of the
United States hotel, and James Martin
Gray, of New York, who have been
appointed assignees of Comstock's IS
property, to-day found s315,000 worth
of stock of the Ute Creek gold mine,
the Reta Alta copper mine and the
Pactolus gold mine, all situated in
Colorado, and notes for $4,000 Sc
cured by collateral of the stocks. The
assignees have no definite knowledge
of the amount of liabilities, but conjec-
ture they will reach 100000. The
Reta Alta mine is the only one of the
properties being operated, and it is
said Comstock has invested $150,000
in this mine during the past eighteen
months.
1t appears that Comstock has been
doing a brokerage business in stand
ard stocks, but no securities other
than those of his Colorado mines were
found in his safe.
There are about sixty-five creditors
in this state and almost all of these
are women.

Rockefeller's Gift to Yale.

New Haven, Conn.,, June 29.-When
Frank B. Bran1agee, the newly-elected
United States senator from Connecti-
c,t, yesterday said in. Yale class re-
union that there was virtue in Yale
to cleanse all the tainted money in the
world he probably knew that John d.
Rockefeller had given the university
$1,000,000.
News of the gift was not formally
told to the alumni till the general
meeting yesterday, when Prof. Arthur
T. Hadley announced it as the main
feature of his address. The 1,2O0
alumni in the room cheered wildly.
They doubled their cheers when Pres
ident Hadley told them that aside from
the Rockefeller gift $1,250,0 900 had been
raised during the present spring
largely through the tireless efforts of
Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr., the uni
versity secretary, who has canvassed
the friends of Yale with a fine tooth
comb for three months. Two of the
pledges he has received are for $780,
900 each.
The Rockefeller s1,O00,000 is the
largest sum of money ever given to
Yale. Frederick w. Vanderbilt two
years ago gave the Sheffield Scientific
School two dormitories which probably
cost 81 100000 at least. No statement
of the tsost was ever made. The late
Cornelius Vanderbilt gave Yale in 1898
the most expensive dormitory in men,
ory of his oldest son, w. H. Vanderbilt,
who died when Yale junior. This
dormitory is said to have cost $1,25O,
600

Growth of N,w York.

New York claims that by 1910 1t
will have passed London in population
and will be tie largest city in this
world. 1t is believed that the state
census being taken at present will
show that the city has passed the
1000. 900 mark In 1901 London had
population of 4,5SG,541, while in 1900
New York had S,427 ,202 people, not
counting the population of Jersey City
and the other populous suburbs on the
New Jersey side. 1t would surprise
nobody, except possibly the Londoners,
If long before 1910 New York had be-
come the largest city in the world.
