Are Chiropractic Adjustments the same as Ostoopath Treatments? No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong; but the Path- ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different. One of my patients, Mr. W. A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic is ten times more direct in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor- ough in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would. m&‘mm‘ | Chief of Division i | Three Orientals Nabbed in CARDINAL MECENNI DEAD.

Denver, Nov. 16.—Notices have been posted at the mills of the five big mines of the Telluride district that in the future the eight-hour day will prevail in the mills.

IAP FORGE IN MOTION LARGE MASSES OF TROOPS MOV- ING EASTWARD OF RUS- SIAN POSITION. GENERAL ADVANGE DAILY EXPECTED ATTACK ON KUROPATKIN'S LEFT FLANK MAY OCCUR AT ANY MOMENT. General Kuropatkin’s Headquarters, Nov. 16.—A Japanese advance is daily expected. Large masses of their troops are moving eastward and the Russians are expecting them to strike at their left flank. An attack upon the fortified village of Endowuniulu, not far from Sinch- inpu (two miles west of the Shakhe railway station) and fronting the right flank of the Seventeenth corps, was carried out brilliantly during the night of Nov. 10 by the Second brigade of the Thirty-fifth infantry division.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 16.—The forth- coming meeting of the presidents ol the thirty-eight provincial zemstovs is absorbing public attention to the ex- clusion of other questions. The continued suggestions from abroad regarding peace are treated like their predecessors as unworihy of serious consideration. The mere wen- tion or mediation arouscs the ite ot those in authority. The reiteration of the statement that President Roose- velt, having the suppoit of Gieat Br ain and France, had already been ap- proached by Japan and was ready to offer his otlices in view of Russia’s position is not considered to be a friendly act. Russia will push the war on an ever increasing scale and prep- arations to do so are being made ev- erywhere. Trouble with the army reserve men continues in various places especially in Poland, but the authorities are making efforts to allay the cauces of discontent and many of .the abuses complained of have been corrected. The problem of caring for the families of the reserve men, many of whom are lett almost destitute, is receiving ear- nest consideration. CASSINI ISSUES STATEMENT. Russia Will Pursue the War to the Bitter End. ‘Washington, Nov. 16.—“Russia will pursue the war in the Far East to the bitter end, that is, until Russia has conquered.” These are the openlug words of an emphatic statement made at the Rus- sian embassy. by Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador. The statement continues: “l1 deem it my duty to reiterate what I have so often said, that Russia will not suspend in any case her militaty operations in the Far East. “Russia can no more admit of inter- ference than Great Britain could in the Transvaal, nor than the United States could in her war with Spain. Where the prestige of a country is at stake, all other considerations and public matters must stand aside.” MAKES COUNTER CHARGES. Kuropatkin Denies Russians Wore Chinese Clothing. St. Petersburg, Nov. 16.—General Kuropatkin, in a telegram to the min- ister of war denies the Japanese charges to the effect that Russian troops disguised themselves in Chi- nese clothing and makes counter char- ges against the Japanese of wearing Russian uniforms in the attack on Shakhe Oct. 14, whereby they were enabled to approach close to the Rus- slan batteries and capture several guns of the Thirty-seventh brigade.

New York, Nov. 16.—%ae abattoirs at the foot of Sixth street, Jersey City, burned during the day. Trains of cat- tle cars belonging to the Erie Kailioad company were drawn out of the fire zone. The flames ran rapidly along the water front toward the north end and soon communicated to the docks of the Berwyn-White Coal company. The fire on the coal company’s docks 4id not get much headway. It caught on the top of the chutes and was quick- ly quenched by fireboats. The wind, which was from the north- east, carried the flames along the 300- foot pier running out from the abat- toirs and as ‘the engines could not ap- proach the pier was soon ablaze from !} one end to the other. An iron covered warehouse in which there was a great quantity of produce and meats was gutted and the roof fell in. The fire spread along the water front from Fifth to Seventh streets and burned the entire length of the 300- foot pier running out from the abat- toirs. £ ‘W. A. Herman, manager of the stoci yards, said that about 1,000 dressed hogs and sheep were consumed by the flames and that about 200 live hogs and 200 live sheep perished. EXCHANGE GREETINGS.

Symons, corps of/ engineers, U. S. A., the special aide to the prince during his sojourn in Amer- ica, and was accompanied by his suite] Prince Fushimi’s address, which was in Japanese and interpreted by one of | his suite, was brief and bespoke closer | and stronger relations between the two countries. The president in his re- sponse gave assurance of this senti- ment by the American people and wished the Japanese people prosperity. MAIN LINES REPAIRED.

New York, Nov. 16.—While consid- erable progress has been made in re- pairing the damage wrought by Sun- day night's gale conditions have by no | means become normal.

Rural Carriers Who Mixed in Politics Will Lose Jobs. ‘Washington, Nov. 16.—Summary ac tion is to be taken by the administra- tion in case of officers of the Rural Carriers’ National association, charged with partisan activity during the past campaign. Chairman Cortelyou of the Republic- an national committee and Secretary Overstreet of the Republican congres: sional committee were approached some weeks ago and were asked to make certain pledges concerning leg: islation in which rural carriers are in- terested. Chairman Cortelyou declined to enter into negotiations with the or- ganization, and Secretary Overstreet, who is chairman of the house commit tee on postoffices, absolutely refused to make any pledges as to his position on measures providing increased sal- aries for the carriers. The president, it is announced, has directed the civil service commission to make a thorough investigation. One charge made against the rural carriers’ organization is that its rep- resentatives endeavored to encompass the defeat of members who voted against the proposition introduced in congress last winter, permitting car- riers to act as agents and solicitors for hire on rural routes. If evidence can be obtained to substantiate these charges, every carrier involved will be dismissed from the service. AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. Masked Men Hold Up Train on Min. iature Railroad.

Btudents Foiled in Effort to Secure a Negro. Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 16.—An at- templ w iynen a nezro by a number of the uucnis of tne Alabama Poly- technic institute was thwarted only by the forethought of President Thach of that institution, according to spe- cials from Auburn, Ala.

About midnight a number of the ca- dets went to the calaboose, fired a tfusilade at the building and then broke It open with the intention, it is al- leged, of killing the negro, but were disappointed to find the negro miss- ing. President Thach, fearing trouble, fi{nd had the negro removed to Opel- a. The trouble is said to have started by the negro cursing Howard be- cause the student asked for a match.

WOULD CONFINE SCOPE OF [NQUIRY INSISTS ONLY : TWO QUES‘HONS: S8HOULD BE SUBMITTED FOR SETTLEMENT. ki 8t. Petersburg, Nov. 16.—A ’ differ ence has developed- between Great * Britaln and Russia over the language of the article in the North sea conven: tion relative to the question of respon- sibility. At the foreign office it is said that Russia does not desire to in any ‘way recede from the basis of the agree ment, but she proposes a rodification of the language submitted in the Eng: lish text. The admiralty, it is under- stood, contended all along that the international commission should con- fine its inquiry to the establishment of the question whether torpedo boats were off the Dogger bank and whether in any event the Russian ships were justified in firing. The Associated Press learns that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky’s detailed repert shows that some shots from the battleships hit the Russian pro- tected cruiser Aurora, one of the shelis entering the wardroom and wounding & priest, who afterwards died at Tan- gier from the injuries which he sus- tained. The Russian admiialty con- tends that this is additional proof ot the good faith of the vessels, whi.n fired on what they believed to be tor- pedo boats, not having seen either we fishing vessels or their own sulps of the cruiser division. Lieutenant G.i, one of the Russian witnesses, will swear positively that he saw fiames rising out of four funnels of a low lying ship. Lieutenant Kllis, another Russian witness, who was in the tur- ret of the Russian battleship Alezan- der III, sighted a gun but did not He declares that he is positive he sa v & torpedo boat destroyer.

Hull, Eng., Nov. 16.—The inquiry which Great Britain conducts on her own behalf into the North sea incident opened during the day. Vice Admiral Bridge and Butler Aspinall, an admi- ralty court lawyer, who were appoint- ed to conduct the inquiry and whose re- port will form the basis of ihie unusa case before the internationai cowns- sion at Paris, sat at a large table sur- rounded by maps showing the Logger bank and the North sea. In front was an array ot counsel and government officials. The correspondent of the Associated Press learned at the outset that the board of trade solicitors who have been preparing the case have lound no. evidence to suggest the preseace of the torpedo boats among the fishing fieet. The inquiry will therefore meze- ly be an amplification of the evidence &t the inquest and it will be adjourned to London in the course of a few days, the proceedings here being confined to a narrative of the shooting. The as- sessment of damages, which will be dealt with in London, cannot be com- pleted for some time, as many of the trawlers are still at sea. The findings of the court will be sent to the boaid of trade and wll be submitted to the international cc..:. ‘ssion. Metho:. Admiral Bii., businesslike p:o nouncing the meit Procedure, arted matters with ;tness, briefly an- d of procedure and stating tha «ill be no speeches. Various coi iresenting the traw- ler companies auu ihe victims received permission to examine' the witnesses and Mr. Pickford, counsel for the boaid of trade, summarized. the facts con- nected with the “lamented occurrence;” saying there was nothing connected with the trawling fleet which could pos- #ibly account for the shooting. The witnesses all denied that any arms, ammunition or contraband were on board the trawlers. There was nc room, it was added, to carry a torpedo. Several maritime storekeepers swore that nothing was put on board the trawlers except supphes and coal. “Vice Admiral” Carr, who was in charge of the trawling fieet at the time of the attack, said he had been in the naval reserve for seventeen years and was accustomed to men of war and naval signalling. The only warship he had seen on the trip in question, besides the Russians, was the regular British cruiser stationed off Hull. This was several days prior to the trawling fleet falling in with Vice Admiral Ro- Jestvensky's squadron. Carr reiterat- €d that the first Russian division pass- ®d close to the trawlers without firing and the second division, after star boarding and keeping their search- lights steadily on the vessels, fired Wwith the result known. Answering the Russian censul, Carr maintained that the Russians did not signal to the trawlers to stop and stoutly declared that there could not have been a strange vessel among the fishing fleet.
