TD FORM SECONDARY Gen. Linevitch Will Probably Be « in Command of New Man- churian Forces. KUROPATKIN TO COMMAND BOTH ARMIES Sin Alexie te Continue as Viceroy, Bat Will Not Interfere with the Commanding General's Plaos in Any Way—Stories & ef Friction Are Entirely Withont Foundation. St. Petersburg, Sept. 19.—Acting upon the advice of his military advisers, Emperor Nicholas has decided to form a second Manchurian army. It will be formed of the corps which are being sent to the far east and Lieut. Gen. Linevitch probably will be given the command of the second army, Gen. Kuropatkin will become chief of both armies but probably without the title of commander in chief. It is this im- pending reorganization which seems to have led to the countless rumors and reports afloat here of Kuropat- kin’s supersession of Viceroy Alexieff as commander in chief of the army, the latter's resignation, etc, but the Associated press investigations’ indi- cate that the above is the real situa- tion. The Associated press is informed that Alexieff will continue to be viceroy and that as such he could not be sub- ordinated in title to the com- manding general, which would happen if Kuropatkin was given the title of commander in chief. Nevertheless, the Associated press is informed, Kuropal- kin will virtually be in complete, un- trammelled command. As has been heretofore stated on high authority the stories of Alexieff's interference with Kuropatkin are en- tirely without foundation. On the con- trary Alexieff has always shown the utmost appreciation of the peculiar del- icacy of his position as Kuropatkin’s superior, studiously avoiding even the semblance of interference with the op- erations of the Manchurian army. The Associated press is authorized again to deny absolutely the story that Rear Admiral Prince Ouktomsky has been court-martialed. It is positively stated that he has never been under arrest at Port Arthur and that there has never been a quesion of his trial by court-martial, He has simply been superseded by Rear Admiral Wiren in the temporary command of the Port Arthur squadron which Ouktomsky took over when the late Rear Admiral Withof fell. This does not necessarily mean that the admiralty is satisfied with Rear Admiral Ouktomsky, On the contrary, his short comings are recognized, and leading to the deci- sion to place Rear Admiral Wiren in command. CAUGHT WITH THEIR BOOTY. Three Robbers, Who Have Been Operat- ing in Northampton County, Pa., Arrested by Detectives. Easton, Pa., Sept. 19.—Three robbers who have stolen thousands of dollars’ worth of jewelry and silverware from the residences of wealthy people in Northampton county, were captured by mere accident at Bellwood Park, N.

King says he is a son of a Philadelphia policeman and will not admit as the others have done of hav- ing taken part in the robberies. He does not deny that he was with them, but declares that he is under a hyp- notice spell exerted by Mason and which he is unable to throw off.

I know that the Ameri- can, Engtish and German legations were apprised of the matter fully Furthermore, I am satisfied that Fravk P. Sargeant, Commissioner General of Immigration at Washing- ton, is familiar with all the details of the plot, and that President Roose- velt was advised of {t at the time. “The Mextean police were apprised of the fact that the two anarchists sailed from Barcelona, Spain, on a certain ship. The time of its arrival at Vera Cruz was given, and the men were not allowed to land. I am sat- isfied the men were executed with the utmost diepatch. “There is no such thing as anarchy in Mexico, owing to the ever watch- ful care with which the Mexican police guard against ta encroachments, In this instance the vigilance of ‘the police was 80 pronounced that the anarchists were not allowed to set foot on Mexican soil.” General Gordon and the Pop-guns |. From the Era Magazine, One of the funniest stories I ever heard was an anecdote of the late General John B. Gordon. Before the breaking out of the war between the North and South, General Gordon, who was 4 bitter rebel, made apeech- es all over the South, inciting the peo- ple to rebellion. Iu his ardor he made frequent use of the expression that they “could whip the Yankees with popguns.”’ In the conflict that follow- ed General Gordon was one of the most valiant Confederate fighters. His chivalrous record as a soldier {s ove of the brightest pages in war hia- tory. When the war ended and the South was vanquished, he returned to his native town of Athens, Ga., and revived his practice as a lawyer. A few years later, when a fierce cam- paign was on in thestate, heconsent- eltospeak ata number of places, but his pro-slavery views were mod-| ified: he advanced new ideas and spoke of the building up of a new South under conditions. Ono night, {n Macon, Ga., when he had finished a brilliant oration on these lines, an old fellow down in the middle of the audience rose and addressing the general, said: “Look heah seh! Didn’t youmnke speech ia this yer county, way back yonder in ’61?” The general meditated: I did, sir! “Well, didn’t you tell us we could whip them thar Yankees with pop- guns?” The general stood with military erectness, and, buttoning his long coat replied: “] think I did, sir. But, damn ’em they wouldn’t fight us that way.” “T believe A recent speculative philosopher says: ‘Give me the money that has been spent in war and I will purchase every foot of land on the globe; I will clothe every map, woman and child in an attire of which kings and queens would be proud; I will build school houses on every hill side and in every valley over the, whols earth; I will build an academy in every town and endow it, a college inevery state and fill it with able professore; I will crown every hill witha place of worship conrecrated to the pro- miulgation of peace; I will, support inevery pulpit an able teacher of righteoueness, so that on every Sab- bath morning the chime of one hill shall be beardon another around the earth’s wide circumference and the voice of prayer and the song of praise should ascend like a univereal holocause to heaven.”—Ex.

A Minister Stumped the Late Ex- Senator at Warrensburg. “Knowing that Senator Vest had been “brought up” a Presbyterian after the strictest articles of the er Ca a -Governor T. T. Critten, in jennie the late Senator recently, says the Kansas City Star. “I asked him one day the hardest question to answer was asked him about the manner of his life and whether or not he was living in conformity to those early lessons. Senator Vest replied at once witha changed countenance. “The man who put that question to me,’ he sald, ‘was Dr. 8. 8. C. Styles, who is now conducting a big revival here in Warrensburg and who is the most eloquent divine I ever heard in the pulpit.’ “I was only yesterday that he asked the question,’ continued Senas tor Vest. ‘The Rev. Mr. Styles was the young pastor of the Presbyte- rian church at Frankfort, Ky., in which my father and mother held membership and I have known him afl my life. When we met yesterday onthe street Rev, Styles sald?’ “Good morning, George. How are ou? Are youyet within the folds of the chureh aad do youstill remem- ber the teachings of yourgood father and mother, long since dead and in heaven, where J soon expect to join them? Now, what shallI tell them about you whea we meet; about your christian life; your daily walk and conversation?” “T beeame speechless,’ sald Sena- tor Vest. ‘L became whiter in the face than a ghost and passed on to the courtroom in silence, not even stopping to reply to the minister. I was wholly unfit to attend to my court duties that day and was una- ble to shake off the question.” Citizens Indicted For Lynching Negro.
