SLOWLY ADVANCING mssia is still sore WAMAN BAN BLOCKADE
CZAR MUCH ANNOYED
SI. Petersburg, Sept. 24.Tho feeling |
Japanese Are Continuing Their March
Cn Mukden.
NO BATTLE FOR SOME DAYS.
Oyama's Advance Guard 30 Miles
From City—Seems to Have Given
Up Plan of Trying to Cut Kuropat-
kin'a Line of Communication.
St. Petersburg, Sept, it.—The .Tap-
niieso advance toward Mukden con-
tinues slowly, according to informa-
tion received by the authorities here.
Both official reports and errs* dis-
patches place Marquis Oyama's ad-
vance guard thirty miles south of
Mukden, while stories are printed in
the foreign press thul a great bailie
at Mukden has already begun arc
disproved by the actual developments
at the zone of op< rations.
There is no question in the minds
of the- authorities of the importance
of Mukden to Japanese ns a winter
base. It Is believed tli.it the Japanese
will exert every effort to push out
the Husidans, lint it Is thought a cur-
ious struggle for the possscssion of
the town is still some duys distant.
The Japanese will probably have to
reckon first with a stubborn defense
of the Fushun mines, where the next
Important light is expected to take
place.
Judging by present developments,
Marquis Oyama Is giving up the idea
of cutting General Kuropatkin'B cuni-
miinlcalion to the northward, and
contenting lilmseif yvith advancing
upon the Russian front and flank in
such a fashion ns lo forco the evac-
uation of the two and compel the Rus-
sians to retreat further north. The
whole plan of the Japanese advance
shows a considerable difference from
the operations nt I.iao Yang. At the
same time, it Is possible that the Jap-
anese are making undisclosed move-
ments, ns they have successfully done
In the past.
According io the best information,
Oyama lias three armies concentrated
solheast of Mukden, a fourth corps
consisting of two divisions, composed
of men drafted from the armies of
Generals Kurokl. Nodzu and Oku, be-
ing detached Io Dzlantchan.and thence
sending out flanking columns north-
ward and northeastward with the ob-
ject of protecting Oyama's right and
al tho same time driving In the Rus-
sian outposts. All enveloping move-
ment on iiu-ji a largo scale as.Gener-
nl Kurokl essayed at I.iao Y'aiir; Is
not expected. Evidently tho Japan-
ese realize that their strength Is In-
adequate to justify another attempt
to surround General Kuropatkln.who
Is now stronger by two army corps
than ho was at i.lno Yang.
Tho report has gained some cred-
ence here that it is the Intention of
the Japanse to winter at Mukden if
they can take the town and then hold
on until an accumulation of Russian
forces on their front compels them
to retire to the Liao Yang peninsu-
la and Korea, the retreat In ibis di-
rection drawing General Kuropatkin
after them.
Orders have boon Issued to prepare
seven rlllo brigades for service in the
Far East.
of Irritation In Russia regarding Great
Britain's course In Thibet Is display-
ed in the Novoo Vreyma's remarks
regarding the statement made in tho
house of commons by Mr. Broderick,
secretary of state for India, that "the
la st way of preserving peace Is to
1,0 prepared for war, and England's
I army on the Indian frontier is now
ready.”
In the course of a long editorial
article the Novoo Vreyma declares
that a majority of Great Britain's in-
ternational successes were won not
by fighting, but by bluff. This, the
paper declares, whh especially the
cn;,.- In 1870, when Great Britain suc-
ceeded in closing the Dardanelles via
Berlin instead of \ la Constantinople.
Tiie article concludes:
"Tills sort of diplomatic intimida-
tion cannot continue Indefinitely. In
Broderick's words we can d'Hotly and
confidently say we are ready, too.

Only Invited Guests Were Admitted lo

Belgrade, Sept. 22.—The royal in-
signia was solemnly conveyed lo tho
cathedral, where it will bo guarded
through the night by soldiers. The
procession passed through the prin-
pal streets headed by a cavalry of-
ficer and two heralds and followed by
a detachment of guards carrying tho
kings standard mid the crown, orb
and scepter, borne respectively by the
premier, president ot the Skupshtina,
war minister and president of the
state council, in state coaches. The
bodyguard company of guards brought
up in the renr. The regalia was re-
ceived by the metropolitan and three
archbishops, who placed it on ihe
high ultar and consecrated it accord-
ing to the orthodox ritual. Only In
vlted guests were admitted to 1 lie
cathedral during the ceremony. The
regalia Is simple. The scepter Is or-
namented with one large diamond.
General Kuropatkin Establishes Main
Position There.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 21.—While
still insisting that General Kuropatkin
has sufficient troops at Mukden to
contest tho Jupnncsc advance, the war
office admits that it is not likely a
declsivo battlo will be fought there.
Everything goes to show that tho
main Russian position is now at Tic
Pass, flanked by the hills running out
on tho left and by the river on tho
right. Official reports to the war of-
fice are to the effect that the Japan-
ese did not nuikc any further move to-
ward Mukden until September 17.
when reconnaissances in force disclos-
ed that they were still massing at
Yentai and Dentzaiputze. No Japanese
have been discovered east of tho lat
ter point. The reconnaissances, Gen-
eral Kuropatkin says, wore brilliantly
carried out by Generals Samsonoifs
and Rennekamptrs Cossack brigade,
with a mixed detachment of infantry
and artillery under RennenkampfTs
personal command. They captured a
village north of Ilentziaputze, which
was used as a pivot. The Russians
drew off later, losing a few men killed
or wounded, after securing valuablo
information regarding the Japanese
strength position. A couple of days
earlier, General Mistchenosk’s detach-
ment of Cossacks reconnoitered to-
ward Yentai at the cost of a few
score wounded as reported in the As-
sociated Press dispatch from Mukden,
Heptember 30. *
Associated dispatch from Mukden,
September 1G:
General Kuropatkin says he review-
ed yesterday the Thirty-seventh di-
vision commanded by General Chek-
mareff, which had then just arrived at
I Mukden. It belongs to the first Eu-
! ropean corps of which the Twenty-sec-
J ond division, General Fanasovitch,
reached Liao Yang in tirao to take
part in tho battle there. The appear-
ance of the newly arrived European
troops at Mukden, instead of being ev-
idence of tho complete Russian con
tration there, as many persons hasti
ly assumed Is more likely due to the
decision of General Kuropatkin to get
these fresh and untested troops In con-
tact with tho Japanese and give the
soldiers who suffered the brunt of the
fighting at Liao Yang an opportunity
to rest and recuperate.
Kuropatkin lias ordered the issue ot
heavy winter clothing in the middlo
of October. The Russian troops
have already exchanged their sum-
mer Khaki for their ordinary doth
uniforms.
Chefoo, Sept. 23.—Mrs. Ann Krav-
tohenko, the English wife of a Rus-
sian army officer who arrived here the
night of September 17, with Lieuten-
ant Prince Radzvil, from Port Arthur
is the first woman to run the block-
ade from the Russian stronghold since
the Japanese increased their vigilance
to prevent egress from the port. Her
trip was rendered exceedingly perilous
because she came out with the prince
and his companion. Lieutenant
Christoforoff, who curried messages
from Lieutenant General Stoessel, the
commander at Port Arthur, to Gen-
eral Kuropatkin. Roth these officers
were disguised, and had they been
captured by the Japanese, they cer-
tainly would have been executed.
Mrs. Kravtchenko was so worn out
and exhausted by her adventures that
she was unable to see the correspond-
ent of the Associated Press until to-
day. In nn interview, she spoke to
him as follows:
“We left Port Arthur at 8 o’clock
the night of September 15. There was
a good wind and the moon was bright.
We were successful in avoiding the
danger of the blockading line. We
came up to the second line when the
moon was under a cloud. Search-
lights were Unshed on all sides, but
our junk was not discovered.
“Wo suddenly discovered ourselves
close to another junk with a Japan-
ese crew on board. They presumably
were pirates, but we outsailed them
and drew away.
"At G o’clock the next morning we
saw a steuraer coming in our direc-
tion. She had the appearance of a
cruiser and I was terribly frightened.
When we saw thfc cruiser, Prince Rad-
zivil and Lieutenant Christoroff went
below. I stretched myself out on deck
and covered myself with dirty blan-
kets. Chinese were lying at my feet
and at my side, and for nearly an
hour, although I kept my position, I
| never uttered a more thankful prayer
than when I was informed that the
steamer we had seen was a Red Cross
vessel, and that her captain had no
intention of overhauling us.
“Wonderful things are being done
of the country. Tho concession was
being discussed in the chamber yes-
terday when one of the occupants of
the strangers’ gallery, a foreigner, in-
terrupted a deputy who was speaking,
which caused so much indignation
among the deputies that the motion
to approve the concession was re-
jected.
President Nord, however, has In-
formed the American minister. Mr.
Powell, that reparation will be mad<j
for the regrettable incident.
CHANGES IN TARIFF.
Needs of Philippines Being Invosligc-
ted by Insular Bureau.
Washington, Sept. 22.—The Insular
bureau has been notified that the

ing of the tariff with a view to modi-
fication and improvement in many re-
spects has completed its work and
made a report to the collector of
customs in the Philippine-! it Is the
Intention of Colonel Edwards, chief of

jected changes in the tariff tho widest

ennts and manufacturers, before the

Cotton Market Opinions
I ST LOl'lS, MO.: The position of
the cotton market la such as would
lead the public to believe there Is a
| big fight on between two prominent
leaders, one of whom was until re-
cently pronounced a bull, hut who has
10’. lately changed to the other side, and
:i the other attracted a great deni cf
11 • attention bulling cotton on the last
! crop. It is believed that this fight
I’l"< | deserves very little attention by the
public. Roth of these market lerders
are in New Yurk, and it is thought
the apparent fight amounts to nothing
more than to get the public in the
market on the wrong side.
A short time ago the present advo-
cate of lower prices was bulling cot-
ton on a very niuen netter prospect
that exists nt the present time.- Ho
succeeded, and lie did not forget, to
let loose at the top when ho had the
pnli.c running to cover.
Now. on the government report and
private reports which are much b>
low those nt the time he was bulling
the cotton, it Is advertised widely
that he is a bear. This seems very
plain. The present hull leader Is re-
ported to he at the head of a New
York syndicate that will put cotton
much higher. Why nil the wide pub-
licity regarding this fight?
As stated Rbove, both leaders are
in New York, and it is even money
they understand etc i other. If the
public is not careful it will have cot-
ton at the top. It is easy to see
what will happen then. It is be-
lieved there will he plenty of cotton
to go around and some to spare. In
the near future we will be trading at
much lower levels. People who buy
cotti n at pr.sent prices will ltnd it a
losing venture.

NEW ORLEANS, LA.: Th^ bear-
ish nature of the week and statistics
exercised a depressing effect on
Liverpool, and the weakness there,
coupled to less favorable reports from
Spot circles and indications of a heavy
movement next week induced scatter-
ing liquidation, under which Ameri-
can markets recorded a decline of 5
to 10 points. Sentiment appears to
be well divided again, but with few
exceptions the trade has failed to
adopt any well defined ideas as to the
ultimate course of values, and the
vast majority of daily participants
commonly known as the scalping ele-
ment, are quick to act upon influences
pro or con as they may develop. For
some time past the inherent strength
of the article lodged in the demand
for actual cotton. Numerous local
dealers said the recent offers at horde
and abroad met with counter offers
to accept the cotton at ridiculously
low prices, and if this foreshadows a
cessation of the recent active trade,
buying il will require persistent
speculative support to counteract tbe
increasing weight of raw material.
That the speculative interest is now
largely long admits cf no doubt, and
any attempt at liquidation, it is be-
lieved, he followed by lower prices, at
least for a time.
