Indications are discerned at St.
Petersburg that the Japanese are
planning a flanking movement
against General Kuropatkin's left
to compel him to retirement from
Sintsintln. General Kuroki is sup-
posed to design crossing the Hun
niver at a point considerably east
of Mukden, from which he is ex-
pected to move down that stream
and co-operate with an army from
Sian Chan, while Generals Oku and
Nodzu hold General Kuropatkln to
the south of Mukdan. Japanese at-
tacks on Da Pass and Sanlungku
are regarded as confirmation of
this theory.. Outposts of General
Oku's and Nodzu's armies have
been In conflict with Cossacks be-
tween Bentsiaputze and the rail-
road.. No news has been received
from Port Arthur.

ROTTENNESS OF KtTROPATKIN'S AR-
MY SHOWN BY ORDERS.
London, 0Sept. 27.—The Dully Mail's
J,lao Yang correspondent says:
"The discovery in an abandoned Rus-
sian headquarters of n number of doc-
uments and orders from Viceroy Alexleff
cashiering officers for abandoning posi-
tions and for drunkenness etc.. and
censuring officers for lawless treatment
of Chinese, waste of ammunition and
other offenses, proves an amazing lack of
discipline in Gen. Kuropatkln's army."
PLAIN DASH FOR LIBERTY
PORT ARTHUR MAY HAVE REPETI-
TION OP SANTIAGO FIGHT.
St. Peter sburg, Sept. 27. 1:45 a^gjm.
The naval orgen Kotlin today publishes
an article predicting that Rear-Admiral
Wlren will attempt to break out of Port
Arthur with his ships and return to
Europe. The paper admits that the ta.sk
of escaping from Admiral Togo appears
to be hopeless if one takes for com-
parison Admiral Cervera's atlempt to get
nway from Santiago, hut adds that Wi-
ren's men, unlike the Spaniards have had
plenty of war experience.
PLOT HATCHED IN GENEVA
Russian Jews From This Haven
• Plan Assassination of the
Russian Ministers
f
r
St. Petersburg, 27, 1:15 a. m.—
While some of the features of the plot
which culminated in the assassination of
M. Plehve, the minister of the interior,
st|l baffle the police, the authorities pro-
fess to be now perfectly certati that
the conspiracy was hatched in Geneva
hy half a dozen Russians, mostly Jews
The authorities know the names and
addresses of the conspirators, but are
unable to tuke legal action against them
owing to the laws of Switzerland rolat-
rest in their haven in the Alps to con-
tinue their work of assaslnation of Rus-
sian ministers so lrng as they are able
to find emissaries "willing to risk their
lives, the organizers newr venturing out-
side in their own designs.
SI* men who engineered the Plehve
plot, according to the result of the Rus-
sian police Investigation, are declared
beyond shadow of doubt to have organized
a series of political crimes with the ex-
ception of the murder of M Robrickoff,
the governor-general or Finland which
series began wltii the assaslnation of M.
Hogdanovltch, governor of I'fu on May
]!i, 1008. and ended with the blowing up
of Minister Plehve on July 28. of this
year.# Gerohunln whose plot resulted In
the assassination of Minister of the In-
terior Blapagulne on April 15, 1S!>2. now
turns out to have been only an emissary
of the Geneva terrorists.
For the llrst time the fact Is now re-
vealed that M. Plehve's murder had been
preceded by four abortive attempts to
encompass his death which the depart-
ment of police frustrated and attested the
would-be assassins who were quietly Im-
prisoned < r banished. Only one of these
Attempts has hitherto become public and
that was revealed by the accidental explo-
sion of the bomb In the Hotel Du Nord, In
St. Petersburg. Sassonoff and two of bis
accomplices continue to maintain <*i>-
stlnate silence regarding the assassina-
tion of M. Plehve although one of the
accomplices has confessed that he threw
a bomb Into the canal the morning of
the assassination, llernstoln, the other
accomplice at the lnjunctlt n of terrorists
refuses to fnake any statement
meeting with much opposition In the
Columbian senate to the resumption of
*nUeu.hl« dilutions with the United States.

RELATING TO PENSIONS

non continued
day. His principal speech was made here,
this afternoon. Speaker Cannon took up
and discussed thut purt of Judge Parker's
letter of acceptance relating to the presi-
dents' order providing for a graduated
pension.
Speaker Cannon reviewed the history of
the law under which the order was made
and the construction placed upon it by
President Cleveland and continued: @
ROOSEVELT H PENSION ORDER
"Now®when that order of Roosevelt's
was issued the dickens was to pay, al-
though along the same principle and
in the same manner as formerly ^Issued
by Cleveland and McKinley amr they
have been raising a row about It ever
since, talking of executive usurpation. In
Parker's first acceptance speech he com-
plained of the expenditures of the gov-
ernment under republican rule nnd^toose-
velt came back at him and said:
"How are you going to cut down these
expenditures?" Are you for the repeal of
that executive order relating to the sol-
diers? ® •
*4lnd now Parker comes back In his
letter of acceptance just issued and says
"If 1 am elected president, I will re-
scind that order" and then he goes on and
says;
"But after U rescind It I will use my
Influence wltn®congress to pn.-s a bill
giving an age service pension to the sol-
dier that performed service in the civil
W"l ask: What age. Parker? What age?
Will It be 7T . H6. or fij years or what?
Indefinite still you are and probably not
sincere but suppose you are elected presi-
dent Mr. Parker, and you use your in-
fluence, what will that bring In t ho
meantime? From i'o.Ouo to 60,000 people
will have their pensions taken away,
while you promise to use your influence
to have congress pass a aervloe pension
law without stating the agu you propose
to recognlge." 4
ASKS PERTINENT QUESTION.
Now I ask you, Mr. Parker, if you are
elected president, who will control the
house of representatives* Will not two-
thirds of the democrats in that body be
made up of members front the south,
and are they liberal people with pensions
for the union soldiers?
"Ijet us read a Chapter from the his-
tory of pension legislation as it stands
on the statute books today. There are
fourteen bills that have been pussed from
time to time, and these bills form the
pension code Who passed them? Dem-
ocrats for the bills 417 democrats against
the bills Ml republicans for the bills, 1,068.
republicans against the bills none.
"That shows the record of the. vote upon
those measures Is there any hope there-
fore that Mi Parker s influence Is to-be
effective? lie Is to take pensions away
from thousands of people and only re-
place them by a promise to use his In-
fluence with a party In congress lhat has
a notorious record against that very
thing
"I,et me ask you, have you read Run-
vans Pilgrims Progress." Great book,

State Department Considers Case
Serious and Orders Massa-®
chusetts' Governor to Act
Washington, Sept. 26.—Notice of the
action of a special Justice at Lee, Mass.,
In fining Hugh Guerney, third secre-
tary of the Rrltish embassy, was received
at the atatJPdepartment in a telegram
from Mr. Ralkes, first secretary of the
embassy who Is at Lenox. The depart-
ment immediately transacted tills tele
grain In substance to the governor of
Massacrueetts Jtrlth the authority that he
do whatever Wight be necessary to se-
cure the diplomatic immunity of Mr.
Guerney. (®
It is believed at the department that
the matter may ho far more , serious
than the local officers at Lee seem to
regard it. In the first place, by consti-
tutional and afttutory luw^the persons
attached to an embassy are Expressly re-
lieved from any legal responsibility, and
the exemption even eMails to domestic
servants. Section 40«tt revised staffites,
declares that any writ prosecuted in any
court of the I'nlted States,or of a state
or by any judge or justice Intended to
cause the arrest and Imprisonment of
any public minister or his servant shall
be void. The succeeding section, where
the « revised statutes, provides that
every person by whom any such pro-
te" Is omSlned or prosecuted, whether
as party or attorney and every officer
concerned In Its execution, "shall be deem-
ed a violator of he law of nations and a
disturber of the public repose and shall
be Imprisoned for not more than threo
years and "ned at the discretion of the
e^jrt." #

Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 26.—No addi-
tional deaths of injured have occurred
today and the death list of the Southern
wrecfl near Newmarket on Saturday last
still stands at 62. All of the Injured at
the Knoxville general hosjfftal are report-
ed doing well and ony four or five aro so
desperatcy wounded that death is llkel^
to result from their injuries.
A body which was identified early Sun-
day morning as that of G. 8, Fox, Bir-
mingham, Alabama, and sent to that city,
was returned here today accompanied by
two brothers of Mr. Fox. The body turned
out to be that J. M. Daly, ;#t mm.
mcrclal traveler oT Detroit. The brothers
of Mr. Fox went to the morgue and Iden-
tified a body there as that of their broth-
er. Today has been one of sorrow for
this city. Twelve fimerals of victims of
the wreck were hula* One was a double
funeral where twc&iged sisters were bu-
rled; at another, motherland daughter,
were buried and at still another serviced
were said for a mother and her two little
children. Many of the leading officials of
the Southern are still here and will re-
main until all damages can be settled so
far as possible. Today at the scene of
the disaster a huge bonfire was built and
the mas s of kindling wood was burned to-
gether with small pieces of decaying flesh.
Of tho list of 62 dead only five bodies
now remain to be identified. Four are
white men and one colored. Three will
probably have to be burled In nameless
graves. Two of the white men may be
traced. One wears jl masonic badtce and
has the Initials "<; Tt " mh bis linen The

Boundary Case
St. Louis, Sept. 26.—The largest and
most representative gathering ii^, the
history of the American Bar associa-
tion marked the opening session of the
seventh annual convention of the asso-
aftattrn which convened today. Among
the six hundred members of the asso-
ciation who were in attendance togeth-
er with the many foreign delegates to
thegtlJniversal Congress of Lawyers
and Jurists are Associate Justice Brew-
er of the United States supremo court;
Hon. John W. Foster, former secre-
tary of state, and Sir William Kennedy
chief justice of the hi^h court of Eng™
land. The crowded balcony of visi-
tors evinced the widespread intereft
tfcken in the meeting.
A UNIVERSAL CONGRESS.
During the convention, which con-
tinues until Wednesday noon, when
the universal congress of lawyers and
jurists will assemble under the aus-
pices of the association, it is expected
that several important discussions will
arise, chier of which will be that of
the Alaskan boundary case. .
Of the several committee reports®
which will attract, particular aUen-
tion the report m the commercial con%
mittee is most frequently mentioned.
This is due to the fact that at the 1903
conventitft this report, was the center
of controversy and it is understood
that relative to certain points at is-
sue, a satisfactory settlement was not
reached.
The meeting was called to order by
James Hagerman of St. Louis, presi-
dent of the association. Addresses of
welcome were made by President Fran-
cis of the Louisiana Purchase expo-
sition, President John D. Lawton of
the Missouri bar association and Pres-
ident Klein of the bar association of
St. Louis. President Hagerman then
delivered his address, in ^which he
compared tho most noteworthy chang-
es in statutory law on points of gen-
eral interest made in the several
states and by congress duping the
preceding year. ®
Following the president's address,
the election of members an^J the re-
ports of the secretary, treasurer and
legislative committee were in order.

Work With Opening of Big
Chicago Plants
Chicago, Sept. 26.—Nine thousand
men reutrned to work without union
regulations of any sort today when
the three Chicago branches of the In-
ternational harvester works and the
Pullman company reopened their shops
after a shut down of two weeks. The
men not only returned to I heir former
places as individuals, but they also
agreed to reductions in pay of 10 to
20 per cent. Before the shut down,

company would not renew its agree-
ment with the trades unions and that
the plants would be operated 011 a
basis of fifty-seven and one-half hours
