In 1898 the cruiser New York
was regarded as one of the finest
and best fighting craft of her class
in the world. She was Admiral
SIMPSONS flagship during the
Spanish-American War and ran
up in time to receive the surrender
Of Ceryera after Schley had licked
him. That was only about seven
years ago, but the New York is
now practically "obsolete. ~ She
has been ordered out of commits
sion and must undergo an over
hauling and remodeling that will
cost about 81 800, 900. She is to

considerably longer than the old

Government statistics show that
the people of the United States are
the greatest coffee drinkers in the
world. Indeed, they consume
nearly as much coffee as all other
countries combined. And at the
same time they get away with quite
considerable little amount of
beer, whisky and wine, not to men
ton tea and chocolate.

100000 to an Albany lawyer who

PLAGUE IS TERRIBLE
DEATHS IN INDIA FOR ONE WEEK
 NUMBERED 34,0OO.
Ninety Per Cent. of Natives Stricken Die from Dread Disease and Have Grown to Regard the Danger
 CalIously.

Calcutta. March s.-The deaths from the plague last week numbered 34.0o0 Statistics show that the deaths from bubonic plague in India within a few years reach nearly 3.00g.000. Tn 1903 the mortality in India from the plague alone was S50,000. The number of deaths recorded last week while ex- traordinary is not unprecedented.
 The infection recently spread to Burmah, where 1t Is making rapid strides. This season of the year always favors its spread. The Indian govern ment is making every effort to eradi- cate the disease. destroying by burning whole sections of towns and segregat- ing the inhabitants, but owing to the climate and the sanitary conditions of the outlying districts and native sec tions of the towns 1t is difficult to cope with the epidemic. which breaks out continually at fresh points. The deaths are said to be 90 per cent of those infected. As a result of the plague the labor supply for the manufacturing centers has seriously depreciated. So long has the plague existed in India that the native population regard 1t callously.
 The Lancet recently announced the probable appointment of a commission composed of scientific investigators who will assist the plague department of India in the work of eradication. Since the outbreak at Bombay in 1898, that town has not been free from the plague which has ravaged the entire presidency and Is gradually spreading throughout India. Its vvictims are chiefly natives,

PREDICAMENT IS SERIOUS

Mukden at noon yesterday was still occupied by the Russians.
 Flu Pass, twelve miles to the east ward and on the Hun River. vital point for General Kuropatkin in the retreat of his eastern wing, was bonn barded by the Japanese for an hour early in the day. Russian artillery re- plying vigorously.
 The outcome at this point seems to be in doubt. windstorm of hurri- cane fury was in progress during the day.
 No reports from the commander In chief later than Wednesday have been given out at St. Petersburg. Associ- ated Press dispatches from Mukden in dicate that considerable Japanese forces are well north of the city of Mukden and that the railroad upon which depends so much for the Rus sian army is seriously threatened 1T. indeed. it has not already been cut.

 The Russians appear to be gaining ground. but in an instant of compara- tive stiffness Is heard the muffled thud and shuttle of the feet of Japanese re- serves advancing on the run to restore the balance.
 Uneasily sleeps Mukden tonight. In the main street lamps burn dimly' Along dark roads in heavy dust are marching columns. The cool night Is full of the low rustic of movement The wounded arrive in a never ceasins stream of carts and another stream of ambulances moves northward, for the place must be cleared for today's victims. The eternal pines whisper above the tombs of Chinese Emperors In the fields watch fires are burning The sly is lighted with the glare of burning stores and evacuated villages
 The forces are gathering for today's fight.

COLORADO CONTEST.
Opinion of Supreme Court Invoked fin
 the Matter.

tne mAtfeF.
 Denver, Colo, March 9.-The joint executive convention has sought an opinion from the State Supreme Court on the question whether 1t has power to declare the office of Governor vacant and what the effect of such action would be- The decision of the Pea body Adams gubernatorial contest will be deferred until the courts answer is received
 Senator Alexander, a member of the Contest Committee, was allowed today to amend his report which favored the seating of Lieutenant Governor Mac Donald as Governor in such way that If 1t should be now adopted by the Joint session Governor Adams would be busted
 Alexanders amended report declares that there was no legal election for the office of Governor held in the State last November but the resolution de- claring Lieutenant Governor Mcdonald the legal and duly qualified Governor of the State is omitted and the follow ing Is substituted:
 Resolved, That the joint assembly in declaring Alva Adams elected Gov ernor be hereby rescinded and revoked and that vacancy be declared in the office of Governor"
 Under the constitution the adoption of the Alexander resolution would have the effect of continuing Former Gov ernor Peabody In office, his legal suc- cessor having not been elected. That question, however. will be submitted to the Supreme Court before a vote is taken on any of the reports before the joint assembly.
 In the meantime the allegations of Senator Morgan Is regarded to bribery will be held in abeyance.

RUSSIANS IN GLOOM.
Capital of Empire Sorrows at Kuropat-

 kin's Retreat.
 St. Petersburg, March 10.-St Peters burg this morning knows little more of the outcome of the battle of Muk- den than 1t knew Wednesday night and little more of the fate of General Kuropatkin's broken army. It Is not even known whether the railroad has been cut and communications des- troyed. though 1t is believed that the reported destruction of the line by Gen. eral Okus army refers to the damage inflicted on Wednesday, which was not serious though traffic was twice in- terrupted.
 It is evident, however, that the Japa- nese are pressing closer this indispen- sable line of retirement. Their shells occasionally cut the wires of the tele- graph lines paralleling the railroad and civil linemen are displaying no less bravery than their soldier associates by climbing poles and replacing the wires under fire.
 The most important news received from Russian sources is the Associated Press's information that the Japanese have already reached the Hun River. Flu Pass isT>oply twelve miles east of Mukden and well westward of General Linevitch's line of retreat. Whether the extreme Russian leftNhas already succeeded in retiring behind~the Hun River and moving down the northhank of that stream to join hands with Gen- eral Kuropatkin's main force Is not stated; but it is extremely probable that unless the Russians are able to defend the crossing at Flu Pass General Rennenkampff's corps and perhaps ad- ditional forces will be cut off and have to shift for themselves in the noun tainous region north of Fushin, against expeditionary forces of Japanese which are reported from Chinese sources to be racing toward Tie Pass.
 The censor allows no word to pass. but 1t was stated here yesterday that General Kuropatkin had been for some time assembling a force of reserves at Tie Pass and Harbin. with the even tuality in view to defend the pass and positions until he can make or fight his way back.
 This Is carnival week, according to the Russian calendar, but the stern hand of fate has moved the dial for ward and plunged the city into Lenten gloom and despondency. The pessim- ism yesterday was even deeper than on Wednesday. Many military officials are openly speculating as to how long the fragment of the once great army of Manchuria will be able to hold the line on the Hun River and, if Field Mar shal Oyama has actually succeeded in perfecting his trap. how long it will be before thousands of Russians will be effecting in Japan a junction with their Port Arthur comrades, whose former failure is written by the trench inferred corpses at Vafangow and Hail cheng.

-4ooH sql 10 asvs s,oIL,sIp IIs uI usIIeJ sAeu rested it's case shortly before Il o'clock this morning.
 T. c. Doolittle. the bookkeeper expert called yesterday as the first witness for the defense. occupied the witness stand when the trial was resumed. He testiged that the entries of $1o.o00 and $5, ,000 on the books of the Oberlin Bank under date of November 3, 1903, were items of credit to Mrs. Chadwick.
 Similar entries on the discount reg ister showed that the two items were regarded by the bank as being to the credit of Mrs. Chadwick. November 1s. 1903. the journal showed the entry of a note of $40,000. This did not appear on the discount register, but the journal entry showed, according to the witness. that Mrs. Chadwick was entitled on the day to $4o.000 either in cash or credit. Other entries on that date showed that an ithem of s4o.000 was deposited thouE hit was not speci- fled by whom. If the cash or certified check was given Mrs. Chadwick on that day the entries were entire and covered the transactions in a proper manner.
 This evidence was directly opposed to the testimony of Assistant Cashier Avery and Receiver Lyon, of the Ober- lin Bank, who said that Mrs Chad wick had neither money nor credit at the bank at the time any of the certi- fled checks were issued.
 On cross-examination, the witness admitted that on the date that the s4o,o00 was entered on the journal as being to the credit of Mrs. Chadwick, the ledger showed the same amount credited to the account of Oberlin Col lege The witness could not state from the books whether 1t was the same transaction or not.
 Doolittle was recalled for a few mo- ments to testify to some insignificant details and Judge Wing then declared:
 That Is all. your honor. We rest our cases
 'Is there any rebuttal?" asked Judge Tayler.
 There Is none, your honor" said District Attorney Sullivan. and the case, so far as testimony was concerned. was over.
 Judge Wing then asked that the case be taken from the jury and a verdict acquitting the defendant be ordered on the ground that the indictment did not charge an offense and the evidence did not prove that she had commit ted an offense against the United States
 The arguments by Judge Wing in support or his motion and that of Dis- trict Attorney Sullivan lasted through out the remainder of the morning ses- sion of the court.

ATTACKING ENERGETICALLY.
Jap Demonstration Against VIadivOstol<
 Suspected.

Mukden March 9-Noon.-At pres ent the Japanese are making most en- ergetic attacks south of the Hun River. It is rumored that they have transfer red thither some of their forces from the northwest in an anticipation of a night attack.
 The Russian forces in the district of Tsuanvanche, north of the Mukden sta ton. rested under arms throughout the night Shortly before dawn large Japanese force approached the Zarait- ser regiment. This regiment allowed the Japanese to approach within two hundred paces and then discharged yolley from their rifles and opened on them with quick fire guns, simply mow- ing down the Japanese, who were re- pulsed.
 Among the prisoners brought in on Wednesday were a number of privates in new uniforms who were from a re- gently organized Japanese reserve di- vision. There is reason to believe that another division is being landed in the the northern part of Korea for the pur- pose of making a demonstration against Vladivostok.
 On Wednesday there were furious at- tacks northwest of Mukden against the villages of Tantaitse, Yangshihtun and Ushuntun. These attacks were all re- pulsed.
 The wind today attained hurricane force. The soldiers are so covered with mud and dirt that their faces are scarcely recognizable. General Kuro- patkin and his staff are in little better plight.
 Civilians are streaming northward out of Mukden.
 Delayed Report.
 Mukden. March 8, 10 a. m.-(Delayed) An artillery fire Is now being direct ed from the vicinity of the ancient northern tombs against the Japanese fc rces. which are crowding the railway where additional troops are assembled to meet this contingency. The narrow strip west of the railroad is literally covered with soldiers and military ac- coutrements.
 The entire south front is now retir- ing in conformity with a plan formu- lated upon the consequences of the days fighting and the Japanese. ap- pretending the movement. are them selves rushing north around the Rus sian rgiht Preceding the retirement last night the heavy firing which ex- tended along the entire south front was for the first time audible at Mukden throughout the entire night and in- creasing with day as 1t approached the uest and north. It ought to be im- nossible now for the Japanese to turn | the Russians from the Hun river po- sition. but the issue appears to en- tirelv depend upon the extension of the hattie northward and up the railway. The evacuation of the Shakhe position involved several hundred miles of field and overland railways and telegraphs. enormous defensive works, Red Cross supplies, town fuel and forage stores. the latter of which 1t was necessary to burn. The military roads covered 500 square miles. The smoke Of battle and fires are everyhwere obscuring the lines and if is almost impossible to longer distinguish the conhagrations. | The hospitals here are now crowded, but the service continues adequate.

 Mukden. March 1O-.2 a. m.)- Around the village of Pachiatzu there ragged a fierce struggle. A veteran reg iment of the Imperial Rifles distin- guished itself especially, members earn ing St. George crosses time and again in supporting and rescuing raw regi- ments.
 Lieutenant Colonel Sapolsky, a bril- liant and beloved officer. one of the he roes of Liaoyang, and one of the first up Poutiloff Hill who chose to die rath- CT than surrender, was killed at Pachi- atzu. Just behind Pachiatzu, under the shadow of a clump of pines in the park of the Imperial Tombs sits the commander of another division, Colonel aitse and the defense of Ushuntun. With a swish like that of the silken skirts of a well dressed dame, Shimose shells hustle past and occasional bull lets whistle by. Every few minutes the bell of the telephone at the feet jin sles and he reports to the commander of the army Now a Cossack orderly gallops up and reports that the Russian troops ar leaving Pachiatzu, that the Japanese have seized the village and with it the bodies of Sapolsky and half his regi- ment. Another of the dead is Prince Makaeff, commander of the Samara Regiment

STRUGGLE TITANIC.
ManiacaI Fighting Proceeds for Pos-
 session of Mukden.

8eSslOn
 Mukden, March 9.--(4 a. m.)--Mid- night closed the tenth day of the IT. tanic struggle for the possession or Mukden and the mastery of vast em- pire. the tenth day of unceasing con aict under exploding shrapnel. the roar of cannon and the whistling of bullets: the tenth day without sleep and with out food The combat Is fast reaching a point where 1t Is a question not so much of turning columns. of tactics and of strategy as of whose strength. energy or cartridges will last the longer.
 Gray coated Russians, patient, un- complaining. strong of soul. chung dog eedly to positions against an enemy whose attacks go to the very point Of insanity and desperation. For forty eight hours the Japanese have not eat en. They are starving and exhausted but Field Marshal Cyama himself has told them that the city will fall and the slaughter stop on Friday and their confidence in their leader. increased their strength tenfold.
 On Wednesday when the Russians took Ushuntun a few dozen Japanese clung to the thick walled temple and refused all overtures to surrender. Cannon were brought up and breeched the walls but the daredevil courage of the defender continued until the fire. finally when defense was hopless they blew themselves skyward with the ruins of the temple. One survivor rather than surrender threw himself into a stone trimmed we'll and perished. And yet the rank and file and inferior leaders, stern in their sense of duty, are as unsparing of themselves as of the men whom they led to death. Stern Oyama drives and drives his troops northward to encircle- the city. With every fresh f1anking movement the iron band closed nearer the railroad and under this menace the first and third armies were forced last night to abandon the mighty Qualifications on the Shakhe River, give up the impreg- nable Poutiloff Hill and retire to the line of the Hun River.
 Today the Sapanese are pushing their columns north and norteast, bonn barding villages which are keys to the defense and hurling men, some of them veterans of the years campaign and others middle aged reserves fresh from Japan, against Russian positions. Off, ten they are repulsea and sometimes they master the advanced line but at enormous cost.

HAY MAKES STATEMENT.
Secretary of State on Negotiating With
 San Domingo.

Washington. March s.--The Secretary of State in conversing with press rep-l resentatives today made a statement as to facts regarding the negotiations with San Domingo. He said:
 T should like if possible to set at rest the confused. misleading and harmful reports circulating about the negotiation not only of the San Do- mingo protocol now under considera- ton by the Senate of the United States. but also the instrument signed at san Domingo on January 21. which is some- times referred to as the Dillingham- Sanchez agreement.
 Tt has been asserted and persistently repeated that the Department of State had knowledge of the existence of the agreement on January 21. prior to the announcement in the public press that such an instrument had been signed at Santo Domingo City.
 Tt has further been asserted that there was an intention and purpose on the part of the President and the De- partment of State which looked to the nasty carrying into effect of some im- portant arrangement with the Domino ican Government without duly submit ting to the Senate for its advice and consent any instrument in the nature of a treaty or protocol. Neither the President nor any Of the ofnciais Of the State Department ever had any such in tention or purpose Nothing was known of the agreement on January 21 until it was learned through the medium of the public press that such an instrument had been signed in san Domingo City. It was then decided that as many reports and rumors con- corning the agreement were reaching the papers (some of which indicated that negotiation for the annexation of the island was proposed) 1t would be wise to make a statement concerning the matter to the public to allay any apprehension concerning the purpose Of the administration
 When this statement was made on January 22 only a brief abstract of the Arrangement which had been signed ak Santo Domingo City had been commu- nicated officially to the Department.
