 Now Have Control.

St. Petersburg. September 9-The Baku catastrophe leaves no alternative to the industries and railroads in Southern Rus sia than the adoption of the recommenda- tion made at the recent fuel-oil confer ence, to employ coal instead of oil in a large part of the factories and railroads
 The furnishing of sufficient coal, how ever, is very difficult on account of the scarcity of rolling stock on sthe railroads, cars having been withdrawn from the regular service throughout European Russia to carry supplies and men to Man churia. This scarcity is acutely felt In the moving of ordinary freight in South ern Russia and 1t is now proposed to rent 1000 cars from the Austrian railroads Temporary reduction or the removal of duty on coal Is proposed. Imported coal can be transported to the factory region in grain and other empty cars returning from Odessa. It is impossible, however to convert the Volga steamers so as to enable them to burn coal, as the vessels were constructed without bunker room. The companies are discussing the impor- tation of low-grade fuel oil. like the Texas product
 Will Discuss Relief Measures.
 A special conference of the government representatives and oil men to devise a measure for the relief of the situation will take place at the ministry of finance as soon as the ministry officials sent to Baku to investigate the conditions there return to St. Petersburg. If their report justifies it, there Is little doubt that the duties on crude oil will be reduced or removed. The officials look to America for supply of oil. as the available sur plus in the Roumanian and Galician fields, of which the total production is only nine million barrels annually, Is too small to be taken Into serious condition.
 It Is regarded as certain that the Rus. sian railroads using coal will be given permission to use imported coal which al present is forbidden. The railroads now consume 100000 of crude oil residue an nually. The ministry of finance learns that the supply of kerosene in Russia Is adequate, and there is no need of re- lief.
 Ambassador Hardnge has been in- formed that the acting British consul at Baku, with military escort, has gone to Balakhan to search for four English men who are missing.

with certain features of what is cas-
| lest described as the European stu
alton, which almost overshadow 1t
in general importance. Peace may
come, but It will be negotiated with
considerable unwillingness on the
part of both belligerents who are in
fluenced in accepting President
Roosevelt's invitations at the present
moment by considerations quite ex-
traneous from the far eastern situa-
ton.
When M. Delcasse resigned the
portfolio of the foreign Office, Germa-
ny and France were on the verge of
war. Delcasse thought that Germa-
ny was bluflng. Prime Minister
Rouvier, remembering 1870, believ-
ed otherwise Germany had been
for some weeks strengthening her
garrisons near the French frontier.
France responded with a similar
move. The kaiser. ignoring his own
provocation. notified France that If
she did not cease this military move
ment Germany would consider IL an
unfriendly act This, of course. was
equivalent to an ultimatum. and NJ
Rouvier sent conclllatory reply
Within few hours after NJ. Delcasse's
retirement NJ. Rouvier made certain
representations to Russia, which had
far greater effect upon the czars
present course than even Mr. Roose-
yelts letter, NJ. Delcasse had done

the Russian policy and uphold the al

ing advice. peaceful or otherwise, up
on the cars government.
M. Rouvier said to Russia, in eff
feet, that the vital interests of France
required the car to do something

her protection against German ag-
erosion. II was imperative that
Russia restore her military strength

tiaries Get Together.
Russia Said TO be Willing to Make Peace to Proven
European War.

London, June t6.--While the mix
ADDS diplomats are busy with the
preliminaries of conclave to end the
war. Field Marshal Oyama has be-
gun another great battle against the
cars forces, and one which promises
to be so decisive that peace must fol-
low.
Already the japanese commander
in chief has thrown a net partially
around the Russians.
Oyama is using his old tactics in
the present battle. In every great
battle he has fought in Manchuria he
has made feint on the Russian right
and then sent a strong force around
the left to cut off the enemy's retreat.
Thus far his enemy has always es-
capped him with great loss. Now the
Japanese are pushing ahead in a
vast semicircle, and Oyama's object
i've this time is to close the gap to
the north, through which heretofore
his foe has always found an open
way.
The plans which Oyama is now car
rying out on such a vast scale have
been in the making since the battle
of Mukden. He delayed the execu-
tion of it until Togo's victory in the
sea of Japan made it certain that his
re-enforcements and his base of sup
plies would not be interrupted. AS
soon as his possible fears on that ac-
count were alMed, he sent forward
his advance lines and prepared for
the decisive struggle, in which he
now has 100000 men engaged.
Already Oyama has crumpled up
the Russian left Under date of
Monday, General Linevitch wires to
st. Petersburg, admitting that his
left gave way after desperate fight
ing, and that the move has every APP
pearance of a general engagement.

INsoLvENT DEBTORS
VIII Take the Oath Tomorrow aud
Get out Of Jail.

Deputy U. s. Marshal George
Saunders arrived from Mayfield at
noon to look after some business here,
but will have to return tonight on
account of the Illness of his wife who
is suffering from bronchitis.
Marshal Saunders will return to-
morrow, however, to take several
federal prisoners from the Jail to
Commissioner w. A. Gardeners office
where they will take the insolvent
debtors oath and be released from
serving out 500 fine.
There are six prisoners in Jail, two
white and four colored who have Just
completed serving out their Jail sem
fences but owe fines for Illicit whis-
key selling. They are Jack White
sides, city, and VIII Burtram. Ben
ton, white. The colored are Lee Bing-
ham, Murray; Poney Murrell, May
field; Luther Chambers, Mayfield. and
Press Lindsey, Mayfield. They were
fined 500 and thirty days in Jail
during the April term of federal
court and several have notified Dis
trict Attorney Hill and expect to take
the oath tomorrow.
Jack Whitesides. who failed to pro-
cure a lawyer and get the notifica-
ton drawn in regular form, will not
be permitted to take the oath because
of the fact Whitesides has several
letters from Attorney Hill, and was
very much wrought up over It this
afternoon saying that he intended
telegraphing the president of the
United States If Attorney Hill didn't
give him a better show.

grave crisis In Europe.
He has yielded to the French rep
reservations to the extent the world
already knows. He does not recog-
nize the necessity for seeking peace
so far as Russia herself is concerned.
He certainly will not accept terms
which the rest of the world would
regard as reasonable. He is still I'M
der the influence of those of his en-
tourage who favor an indefinite pro-
longation of hostilities, but there Is
another important influence at work.
England is in full sympathy with
France in the latter's embarrassment.
II is to Lord Lansdowne, the British
foreign secretary, that is largely due
Japan's prompt acceptance of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's peace suggestion.
The European situation is fully I'M
derstood at Toxic, and there is every
desire there to support England's in
terests against German aggression.
AS regards peace, therefore, the
situation is practically this: Peace
will come If Japan's terms are mod
crate to the point of magnanimity,
not otherwise. AS for the European
crisis, its development depends solely
upon the will of the German emperor.
His mind no man can read.
The Morocco question, of course,
furnishes the key to the problem. 1t
is not a matter of vital or intrinsic
Importance to any country, but 1t
will prove the casus belli of the great
est conflict of modern times, or it
binary diplomatic settlement.
