Reports are still current that the Ru an army is making a retrograde movement from Mukslen, though St. Petersburg officials say they are un- able to confirm them. Only brief dis- patches have been received during the day [ll)m the seat of war and they leave situation rather vague. No fightin has occurred beyond occa- sional contacts of outposts, a condition probably due largely to the heavy rains, which dispatches say now pie preventing any extended move ments of either army. No official figures on the losses of the baitle of Liaoyang have been given, but estimates still place the casualties on both sides at not far from 50,000 to 60,000. The news silence continues un- broken from Tokio, no advices bear- ing directly on the operations having been received from that source for several days. PREPARATIONS INCOMPLETE.

Y., Sept. 12.—Judge Par- ker has no fitention of going to New York to personally take charge of the campaign, as reported from New York. It is true that after his letter of ac- ceptance has heen made public he may visit New York frequently for the pur- pose of meecting delegations and con- ferring with political managers, though no definite plans have been adopted. If such an arrangement is made it will be because of the inac- cessibility of Rosemount for the enter- tainment of large delegations. The following authentic statement #as is- sued at Rosemount by Arthur Me- Causland, Judge Parker’s-private sec- retary. He said: “The stories to the effect that Judge Parker is to go to New York to take personal charge of the canvass or Lo assist the committee in its comduct, or that he is dissatisfied with the worl either the national or state committee are untrue. He is gratified with t efforts of both committees. He I lieves the members of all of them are working intelligently, harmoniously and effectively and that they are wise in not telling about it. The judge has thought of going to New York for a day or two atter the publication of his letter of acceptance, but he may not even do that.” THE MILWAUKEE LAUNGHED MISS JANET MITCHELL CHRIS- AMERICAN NAVY.

Sept. 12.—Within nine years Jim Lee, a mnegro, thirty years old, has committed not less than eleven murders. He confesses his crimes and can give no other excuse than that he cannot refrain from seek- ing human blood. He has been arrested upon com- plaints of having during the past year committed four murders as follows: James Johnson, a white camp foreman, in Concordia, Parish, La.; Tice Lyons, | May Seabrooke, a negro woman, near Donaldsonville. Although these deaths 1 occurred within a radius of 100 miles Lee was not before suspected. So cleverly did he conceal his iden- tity that it was only when he mur dered Johnson in daylight before sev eral workmen that he was charged Miss Janet Mitchell of Milwaukee, daughter of the late United States Sen- ator Mitchell, who was surrounded by a party of visitors from Milwaukee.

Gen- eral Kuropatkin is said to be at Tie pass. The evacuation of Mukden, however, is not officially admitted.
