St. Petersburg. Sept. ."at. The ab-
sence of the emperor who has gone
to Odessa, is causing an even greater j
dearth of official news from the front
than has been experienced heretofore
Communication with Mukden has
been practical!} suspended, and St
Petersburg Is therefore suffering an-
other period of anxiety and suspense,
just when the intimation had been
given that Important developments
were imminent between the armie* f
General Kuropatkin ami Field Mar
shal Oyania. Port Arthur is more
isolated than ever, and the only news
from that place comes by the way ot
Vladivostok. It contains, however,
the hopeful Intimation that the garri-
son is confident of being able to hold
out until the first of the year.

Brief lucid intervals were followed
by longer durations of unconscious
ness until Tuesday morning when th«
venerable statesman sank into a state
of coma from which all efforts to
roust- him proved futile.
During the last hours there was not
a movement of the body ami only t
scarcely perceptible pulse evidenced
the final struggle.

; Intelligence of Senator Hoar's «!•

j pre-arranged signal was transmitted
ion the tire alarm system, and the long
i dreaded tidings were conveyed to the

Vladivostok, Sept. 30 -Private re-
ports from Port Arthur state that the
garrison there is confident of being
able to hold out until the beginning
of next year. The report is confirm-
ed of the loss of three Japanese tor-

with Russian mines.

He had suffered much from malaria
at times while in Washington and h '
occasionally remarked to his triemN
that this trouble was the greatest
trouble at the capital. His physicians
advised him last winter to keep as
quiet as possible to refrain from mak-
ing long speeches and not to attend
public functions.
Toward the end of the last session
of congress he was frequently absent
from the sessions of the senate and
remained at his hotel.
lie came home soon after adjourn-
ment, apparently recovered from the
attack of lu ml Ago. He was weak,
however, and his physicians here ad-
vised him to refrain during the sum
mer from any mental or physical
exertion, in the hope that he might
regain his strength. He disregarded
this injunction, however, on at least
three occasions, his love for old asso-
ciates and his old friends overcoming
considerations for himself.
St. Petersburg. Sept. 30 The No-
vosti. in a bitter editorial refers to
the conference of the institute of in-
ternational law and the the proposal
of the l nited States to re-assemble
the Hague tribunal. The paper de-
clares that international law is a
polite myth under the cover of which
the strongest nations domineer over
the weak.
It says only nations too weak to
enforce their demands ever apply to
it; that there is not a tenet In the so-
called code that can not be broken by
any nation strong enough at any time
if it so desires.
Mukden, Sept. 30.—Only skirmishes
between the opposing armies are re-
ported. although it is rumored that
Kuroki has turned the Russian flank
and is making to the north and east
to the railroad. General Kuropatkin
is sending to Tieling all of his heavy
supplies, which fact is taken as ai.
indication that Mukden will be evacu-
ated.

A Press Dispatch From Oklahoma
City Heralds the Statements Long
Ago Made in the
Democrat.
The Democrat has long contended
that the consolidated shops of the
Rock Island system in the territories
fould, sooner or later, be established
in El Reno. Oklahoma City also be-
lieves it now. as is shown by the fol-
lowing press dispatch, sent out from
that city:
Oklahoma City; O. T., Sept. 30.—
There is a rumor current here to
the effect that the Rock Island will
consolidate the shops of Shawnee
and Chickasha, I. T, at El Reno.
Local officials deny any knowledge
of the rumor. It is known, how-
ever. that the Rock Island recently
tested the water supply at El Reno
ami that arangements have already
been concluded to treble the track-
age facilities there.
Chickasha, I. T, Sept. 30.—The
cotton compress began operation to-
day. with a large force. The cotton
oil mill started up yesterday. Cot
ton is coming in pretty lively, al-
though rains have delayed picking
There is a great demand for pick-
ers, and at the request of the Com-
mercial Club the Rock Island has
granted a rate of 1c per mile for
tin in in parties of five or more from
Dallas and Fort Worth.
PURGLARS AT WORK.
Gilbert's Bicycle Store Received a
Visit Last Night.
Burglars made a raid on Gilbert'
bicycle store, at 1! 1G South Rock Is
land avenue, last night, and carried
away four shot guns and two revol-
vers. They took several bicycles
from the rack, but did not take them
away. Entrance was effected by cut
ting through the screen at the back
door and unlocking the door. Thus
far no clue to the thieves has been
obtained.
GRANDPA BRYAN.

of the Leavitts.
Newport, R. I., Sept. 29.—Aaron
Leavitt was notified this morning of
the birth of a daughter to Mrs. Ho-
mer Leavitt of New Orleans, The
motln-r was formeth Miss Ruth Bry
an. This is W J. Bryan's only grand-
child.
SHUTTEE A BOOMER.
Himself Loose in Praise
Oklahoma's Display.
Guthrie. O. T ..Sept. 30.—Otto A
Shuttee, of El Reno, was in Guthrie
yesterday, to see Auditor Baxter. Mr.
Shuttee was settling accounts with
the auditor in regard to the expendi-
ture at the world's fair. Mr. Shuttee
is treasurer of the Oklahoma world's
fair commission.
Mr. Shuttee reports that about $50,-
000 of the $00,000 set apart for the
maintenance ot the Oklahoma exhibit
has been used. The monthly expen-
ses are small compared with the other
states, averaging $2,500. The ex-
pense for Oklahoma day was $2,000
alone, however, and so the money is
going. Mr. Shuttee drew out $5,000
in territorial warrants to pay outstand-
ing debts.
•Oklahoma's exhibit is the just
pride of all her people." said Mr. Shut
tee. "It compares most favorably
with the older states' displays.
Especially is our display of corn fine.
There is not another display of the
kind in the whole vast agricultural
building. It Is the opinion of many
people from all over the world that
Oklahoma deserves and will get the
prize offered for the best display of
this cereal.
The county commissioners will meet
in quarterly session next Monday.
