HAVE
NOT YET MET,
RUSSIANS MOVING ON TOWARD
WAITING FOE.

Rojestvensky Last Reported from
kamranh Bay, lndo-China, Where
He Stopped to CoaL--Japsn Calls
frances Attention TO Alleged Breach
Of Neutrality. .--Russians May Take
Outside Course, but More Likely TO
Try Formosa Chsnnel--Toeo Prob
ably Waiting There.--What Hinges
on Victory or Defeat.
The naval clash in the East for which
the world IS watching breathlessly has
not vet occurred, or at least not been re-
ported. The Russian fleet is moving
towards its destination, but its exact loca-
tion Is unknown, nor can It's course De
predicted. BY last authentic account IT
was at Kamranh Bay, on the northern
coast OF Indo- China some days ago, where
the war-ships we're being coaled from
their accompanying colliers and revlct-
ualled. This is territory practically under
French control, and the stoppage OF the
Russians in neutral waters greatly con-
Germs Japan, which has made representa-
tions to France on the subject. II is
probable the feet has moved on since
then. but IL has not been reported.
The most probable course for Roiestyen-
sky is to attempt a passage OF the Formosa
channel, between the island OF formosa,
which belongs TO Japan, and the Chinese
mainland. But the Russians can turn
eastward out to sea north Of the Philip
pines, or dodge between the islands OF this
group and take a long outside course tow
ard Vladvostok, passing into the Japan
Sea at the south through the Korean
straits. or further north at Isugaru straits.
The japanese are now under the necessity
of watching all OF these passages. IL Is
considered likely, however, that Rojest-
vensly will take the most direct route by
Formosa. as il appears his best plan 70
hurry an engagement. A victory would
quite change the face of things, as with
the control OF the sea In Russian hands
and Japan cut of from Manchuria by a
victorious hostile fleet il would be only
question of time when all the Japanese
successes thus far would count for moth
ing and the land forces be eencompassed by
a constantly Strengthened foe. On the
other hand, japanese victory would only
make the Russian cause a little more hope
less. but would not alter the status.
1t is supposed that Togo awaits the Rus
sian fleets approach at some point where
he feels sure he can join asuccessful battle.
From the fact that the vicinity OF Formosa
has been declared by japan In state OF
defence il il supposed that numerous
mines have been laid to aid in comprising
the destruction Of Russia's fleet. Japa-
nese scouting vessels have been seen
among the Philippines. The United
States navy will station cruisers all along
their coasts TO enforce neutrality.

Business at the Maple Sugar Market has
been booming lately with plenty of orders
and plenty OF prime maple sugar TO fill
them. This week will see the last CON

Of maple products through the market, the
order calling for about 1l3 packages, each
containing four quart bottles of syrup and
ten pounds of the best cakes. This Is the
second year that the order has been filed
here.
Some Of the sugarmakers call the season
closed and have taken in their buckets

this season have ranged higher than ever
before, all the syrup he has sold bringing

Death Of Mrs. Batcbelder.

Mrs. Ida l.. Batchelder, eldest daughter
OF the late A Abial Rising, died at her home
on Pearl street at O'Clock Tuesday after
noon after four weeks of gTlev-
Gus suffering with cancer OF the stomach
and bowels.
She was born in Braintree, May IL, 1866.
but had nearly all her life been a resident
of this village. Always frail in constItu-
tion, pain and weakness were her portion
from childhood in more than the usual
measure, but brave spirit animated her
feeble frame and enabled her to resist for
long the invalidism with which her IN
firmities threatened her. Three years ago
she arose from her first operation for can
Ger TO know brief period of rest and
hope before the insldious disease again be
gan to work in her system, making sec
ond operation necessary year ago. But
no knife could reach the seat of the trou-
BILE from whose torturing pains death IL
nally released her.
She left a son. William, two brothers,
Il. n. Rising OF Randolph and George Rls-
ing Of Barre, and two sisters, Mrs. n. q
Greene OF this village and Mrs. A. f.
Grover of Lawrence, Mass. In all her III
nesses and troubles she was supported by
the comfort and aid of the happiest OF
family relations, and in her brothers and
sisters found a devotion that never inl-
tered to the last.
Mrs. Batchelder was a member OF the
Woman's Relief Corps, in whose work she
took an active interest, and for some
months had been serving the order as its
most efficient secretary.
The funeral will be held at 2 O'Clock
this afternoon at the home on Pearl street,
Rev. Samuel Knowles, pastor of the Bap-
tist church, officiating, and the Relief
Corps will attend in a body. lnterment
will be in Southview cemetery.

THE ATTACK ON MIR. BRIsTOw.

Some time before Joseph L. Bristow
retired from the office of fourth assist
ant postmaster general, some of the
leading and influential members of both
houses of congress became very wrathy
at him. Mr. Bristow, in probing the
dishonesty and corruption in the post
office department had brought to light
the fact that some of these members Of
congress and senators were themselves
not entirely free from connection with
dishonest practices; hence the wrath.
About the same time it became ru-
nored that Mr.. Bristow may have SEN
atoriaI aspirations himself, when the
term of J. R. Burton. of unsavory mem
Org. shall have expired. This brought
forth from some of these wrathful
members the declaration that Kansas
shall never send Mr.. Bristow to the
United States senate if they can help
it; that they are willing to spend
large sum of money to prevent his cleo
ton.
OF course that class of men are not
to be blamed for not wanting a man
like Joseph L. Bristow as a colleague.
He is not their kind of a man and he
might stir things up in a way that
would be disagreeable, to say the least.
Appearances indicate that a program
has been formulated and is being car
ried out to discredit Bristow. It is diff
ficult to tell just where it comes from.
but it evidently emanates from Wash
ington. Every little while a story is
published in Chicago and other papers
that Mr.. Bristow is to be Investigator
and insinuations are thrown out that
his department was not exactly
straight. Several weeks ago a story
was printed in a number of papers that
Mr.. Bristow was over-zeaIous in his
postoffice Investigations and that he
was in reality a persecutor-that his
work was to be looked into. The story
appeared in a Topeka paper. among
