Germans Win Great
 Victory At Allenstein

Washington, Sept IA German victory at Allenstein in which three Russian army corps were defeated and seventy thousand prisoners. in cluding two Russian commanding generals. were taken, was reported to- day to the German embassy from Berlin by wireless via Sayville, l.. l.
 The despatch says: Official report of the victory at Allenstein shows that it was even greater than known be- fore. Three Russian army corps was annihilated. Seventy thousand pris- oners were taken, including two com manding generals, 300 officers and the complete artillery of the Russian army"
 "In the west, General Won Kluk, 1t Is reported, against the French flank ing attempted advanced to Conbles."
 (Here part of the message could not be clearly deciphered.)
 General Won Buelow completely defeated a superior force of French near St. Quentin after having cap tured the English infantry. A bat talion under Gen. Won Hausen forced back the French upon the river at Rethel."

Russian Troops Closing
 In Around Lemberg

London, Sept. 1, 5:10 a. m.--A de- spatch to the Times from St. Peters burg gives the following comment on the Russian operations against the Austrians:
 The Russian operations against the Austrians are considered by recog- nized military writers to have reached the stage when decisive victories may be within reach. The capture of the railroad center forty miles south of Lemberg involves the rupture of railway communication with the Aus trian Actresses on the Dniester and in Bukovina. Thus the southern part of Galicia, as well as Bukovina is severed from the remaining por- tions of Galicia, except by a circuit tous route across the Carpathians. AS a result the iron ring Is closing around Lemberg.
 According to the Russko Slovo the losses suffered by the Austrians in their desperate attempt to strike at the vitals of the Russian position in Poland aggregate tens of thousands of men, including the Sixth Austrian Corps which, on its retreat between the western Bug and the Wieprz rivers was almost annihilated."

Berlin Alarmed By
 Advance of Russians

London, Sept. l, 3:02 A. M.--The correspondent of the Express tele- graphing from The Hague, says
 There Is the greatest alarm in Berlin over the advance of the Rus sian troops. The news that the em- peror has left the western headquar- ters and moved to the Russian front has shown the residents of the capital where the immediate peril lies.
 "A story has been circulated that the Russians are preparing to avenge Louvain by treating the city of Ber- lin in the same way as the Germans treated that city. Many of the popu- lace who can get away are going to Norway, Denmark and Switzerland.
 "In connection with the siege of Liege it Is told here that the German artillery expects. after vainly trying every type of field gun at their com mand against the fort, sent to the Krupp factory for a new 14-inch na- val gun, which was set down four rniles from the nearest Liege fort. The first shot fired from it hit the officers mess house inside the Belgian forti- fication, killing 125 men,"

Three Million Troops
 On French Frontier

London, Sept. 1, 1897 P. M.--Today, on the eve of the anniversary of the equalization of Sedan. three million troops are battling on the French frontier-the Germans in a headlong effort to celebrate the day with a matic success; the F'rnch, backed by their British allies, to avenge their defeat of forty-four years ago.
 That the Germans have gained ground in their encircling movement on the French left wing is admitted by the French foreign office, but 1t is also asserted that after three days battle in this region the Anglo French line. although pushed back, still remains unbroken. This is described as the wearing down" policy on the part of the allied armies, and 1t is claimed that the losses of the attacking forces have been enormously greater than have those of the defenders.
 French reports alone thus far are available.
 The statement that Emperor Will liam has gone to the Russian from tier cannot as yet be confirmed.
 Disnterested views of the fierce fighting now going on in East Prus- sia and in GANcia are entirely lack ing, 50 1t is ascase Of one taking his choice between the German. Austrian and Russian versions of the battles.
 The anxiety Of friends of Milicent. Duchess of Sutherland. was allayed this afternoon by the receipt of a despatch from James w. Gerard, the American ambassador at Berlin, who

German Forces Evacuate
 Province of Antwerp

London. Sept. l, 2 A. MA des- patch to the Reuter- Telegram com. pany from Antwerp gives the latest official communication issued there. It says, The situation throughout the country is stationary The Germans have evacuated Aerschot and railway communication has been restored over the great part of the Campine coun- try. ...
 'Maliens was bombarded for an hour. although the town was not occupied by Belgian troops. This was fresh crime against the civil popu- lation."
 A despatch to the Post from Ant werp says that the Germans have evacuated the Province of Antwerp, presumably part of their scheme for the withdrawal of unnecessary troops who will be used to replace those taken for service against Rus- sia. Part of the forces in the Pro- vince of Limburg also have been withdrawn.

MAHAN CAPTURES
 CITY, TT IS SAID
Political Students Say He Will Got All Nine Local Delegates to Be
 Sent From Here.

Congressman Bryan F. Mahan, who has aspirations to receive the demo- cratic nomination for senator, has the inside track in this city, in the opin- ion of local democratic politicians who studied today the names of the delegates to the city convention elect ed last night at the caucuses. The city convention will be of great i'm portance, as it will send nine dele gates to the convention which will nominate a senator.
 Governor Baldwin, whose aspira- tions are similar to those of the con- gressman from New London. will be outnumbered In the city convention, it is said, and Congressman Mahan will secure the nine delegates in his political net.
 The delegates to the city conven- tion from the first ward will vote for Mahan delegates to the state conven- tion. it is said. being in the majority by five to three. with one of the three on the fence. The second and third ward delegations to the city conven- ton are split between Mahan and Baldwin. it is claimed. One local political student says the fourth ward
  gates and that the fifth will offer a majority along the same line.
 The sixth Is solid for Mahan, 1t Is claimed. The delegation is headed by Councilman George M. Landers, who Is said to have a corner of his heart deeded to Mahan and his heirs forever An effort was made at the sixth ward caucus last night to have the delegates to the city convention elected individually. This proposition was not favorably received and list of delegates offered by Councilman Conlon was adopted. MT. Conlon Is a warm supporter of Mir. Landers.
 A resume of the situation shows. 1t Is claimed, that Mahan has the fourth and sixth H.wed up and that he will have a majority of supporters in the first, second, third and fifth. While there has been little sactivity on the surface, it Is said that there was con- siderable quiet missionary work done for Governor Baldwin in the fifth last night. .

EXCURSION STEAMER SINKS;
 ALL PASSENGERS RESCUED
City of Chicago Catches Fire Hundreds of Women and
 Children Aboard.

Chicago, Sept With several hundred passengers, most of them women and children. on board, the ex- cursion steamer City of Chicago, from Benton Harbor Mich., caught fire sev- eral miles off Chicago early today. Putting on full speed, the steamer made for the government breakwater just off the harbor. and all the pas sengers were landed safely a mo- ment before the boat sank
 The passengers were huddled on the breakwater and later were taken ashore on tugs and in other excursion boats.
 The first of the passengers 10 reach shore expressed the belief that some of the occupants of the berths had been drowned.
 The City of Chicago belonged to the Graham and Morton Transportation company, and had been In use since 1890 as an excursion boat. She left Benton Harbor late last night bound for Chicago.
 When the fire, which is believed to have started in the galley, was dis covered. Captain Pjork ordered that the ship be rushed for the shore, and she was driven with such force into the government pier that much of the billing was torn down and many of the passengers were thrown into the wa ter. It Is believed all were rescued.
 The City Of Chicago was one of the eldest excursion boats in this port. She had piled since 1890 between here and various Michigan summer resorts. She was a side wheeler, 254 feet long, with a gross tonnage of 1,439.

MY PLATFORM.

Since announcing as candidate
for mayor l have frequently been ask
ed for my platform. Perhaps the dig
nifty of the office demands a platform
upon which the candidate may plead
his cause, but l have been thinking
more of the responsibilities and the
demands upon the man who pledges
his city to give the best there is with
in him in the fulfillment of his duty.
First would strive to give the
city, A CLEAN, CAPABLE, BUSI-
NESS ADMINISTRATION. 1t would
be very unfortunate thing should
our little city be longer divided over
political trifles, or seeking the petty
selfish things when all our energy and
efforts ought to be spent toward the
making of a model little city.
Second Few of US realize just
how fast we are growing. Our streets
we have long outgrown and the time
has now come when we must begin
the building of permanent streets
that will carry the increased traffic
to which they are now and will be sub
jected. There are, ways and means,
but the subject calls for our best
thought and judgement.
Third, Finances-The amount of
money now handled by the city is no
longer small sum. Upwards of
$4,000 now passes annually through
the different channels, and like any
other business or corporation of SIM
liar proportion it calls for capable
management, strict accounting and
wise counsel. The people who pay
in the money want to know where it
goes-and they have right to know
and therefore a clear, concise state
ment should be rendered and printed
each month showing the receipts and
expenditures.
Fourth, Law Enforcement would
enforce all of the ordinances of the
city impartially and to the best of my
ability. Particularly, in the business
district | would clear the streets of
fakirs and would require that prop
erty owners and merchants comply
with the ordinances relative to the
fire limits, Drli-posting, littering
streets and obstructing sidewalks.
Lastly, am for that which is good;
and against that which is bad My
platform is: A BIGGER, BETTER,
CLEANER CITY-WITHOU IN
CREASING THE REVENUE.
FRANK JONES.
Conway, Feb. IS, 1914. Advt.
