There are still lying in the hospitals thirty-four victims of the wreck, thirty- three of whom are students of Purdue University. Of these fifteen are In @ seri- ous condition. H. O. Wright of Pendle- ton, Ind., substitute player, has a broken back and his recovery is not thought probable. C. C. Adams of Osgood, Ind., a member of the band, has an injured spine and is in a precarious condition. It was not known until to-day that he was hurt, as he was taken to the home of relatives. Coach O. F. Cutts, who worked over the njured all day and night, was ordered to the hospital this afternoon and will have his legs in plaster for several weeks. McManus of Davenport, Iowa, tackie on the team, is no weaker to-day. Both of his legs are crushed. H. O.

PR e | PEKING, Nov. 1.—Tha fact that Vice- roy Alexieff has removed his headquar- | ters from Port Arthur to Viadivostok has | caused great surprise In Peking. It Is | generally ‘conjectured that he was unwill- ing to risk passing the winter at Port Ar- thur, which the Japanese undoubtedly would make a stremuous effort to block- | ade In the event of war, thereby prevent- |ing the Viceroy from communicating | with his Government. The Chinese Government is greatly dis- turbed at the reoccupation of Moukden, | the capital of Manchuria, by Russian troops. The Foreign Office is appealing to advice, admitting its own-helplessness, The Russians returned to Moukden on | vices received by the Chinese Government 1500 Russian soldiers took pofsession of the official buildings there and barricaded the gates. There are between 15,000 and 20,000 Chinese troops In and about Mouk- den. The communications relating to Mouk- den are as follows: “The Russians ethployed a noted brig- and, who was accused of many crimes against the Chinese, as chief of one of the irregular bands of police they are organizing in Manchuria. ties repeatedly requested the surrender of this man and the Russians recently consented to give him up. Thereupon a Chinese officer decavitated the brigand without giving him a trial. | demanded the execution of this officer within five days, giving as an alternative the seizure of Moukden. The Chinese Foreign Office was negotiating with Paul Lessar, the Russian Minister, on the mat- ter and offe ‘to banish the officer, pleading that he had exceeded his in- structions, and.to remove the Taotai, his superior, from office. “There was a misunderstanding as to the time limit set for these negotiations. | The Chinese thought it expired yesterday. Before the negotiations were completed the news was received here that Russia had fulfilled her threat to reoccupy Mouk- den.” —_——————————— | I have ¥mown HMenry J.

LONDON, Nov. 1.—The stock market showed a better tone during the past week on the improved aspect of Far East- ern politics, but business was still small and. the best ‘prices were not malntained. ‘With the exception of a small faflure in the American section of the market the settlement was effected without difficulty. The feature of the foreign market was the rather extensive purchases cf South American securities by continental opera- tors. The banking troubles In St. Louls checked the advance in the American mar- ket. Prices closed lower for the week and dealings were still very small.

PR NEW YORK, Nov. 1.—Funeral services | over the remains of Emma Booth-Tucker, | consul of the Salvation Army in America, | were held this afternoon in Carnegle Hall. | The auditorium was filled to overflowing | and hundreds of persons who had been| unable to gain entrance waited in the| streets until the ceremonies had' been | concluded that they might file past the! catafalque and look upon the face of the dead Salvationist. The services, which were conducted by Colonel E. J. Higgins, | chief secretary of the Salvaton Army in; | America, were most impressive and con- sisted of a musical programme made up | | of the favorite.hymns of the dead woman | and by eulogies of her life and of the good she had done for mankind. The | | grief of Commander Booth-Tucker was | most poignant, and as he knelt by the bler, sobbing pathetically, the greater part of the vast congregation wept with | | him. Colonel Ballington sooth of the Vol-| { unteers of America @id not remain for the memorial services. According to his secretary, he had endeavore. to arrange for a final gathering and short private | services in Carnegie Hall before the pub- | lic funeral took place. General Booth ar- | | rived at the hall three-quarters of an { hour ahead of time and waited for the| family gathering, but, learning that it would not take place, he left, saying that | he did not care to stay for the public ser- vices. | Herbert Booth, his brother, who was formerly commander-in-chief of the Sal- vationists in Australia, at the request of the general remained to represent the family and, if possible, to say a few words to the audience. Herbert Booth twice asked permission from Commander Booth-Tucker to speak, but each time it was refused. Commissioner Eva Booth was to have spoken, but was too overcome with grief to do so. At the close of the services, however, she rendered a prayer. Cablegrams were read from General Will- iam Booth and Chief Bramwell Booth of the International Headquarters, London, at the funeral. | The ceremonial partook somewhat of the character of a military funeral. The procession moved down the aisle, led by two standard bearers carrying white sat- in streamers and followed by members of the general staff. Preceding the casket was Colonel Higgins, bearifg the Bible and bonnet of the consul. Commander Booth-Tucker and his seven children, two | of them babes in arms, followed the cas-| ket. | nsign Dammes, secretary of the con- sul, who was with her at the time of the | accldent, gave a description of the wreck and the death of Mrs. Booth-Tucker. Aft- erward Commander Booth-Tucker spoke. He related an dent that occurred in Chicago some ars ago when he was imploring a man to become a Christian. “If your beautiful wife were taken from in a horrible railroaa accldent, as ., you would then feel tow- | The | | you | mine has been, | ard God as I feel,”” sald the man. | commander commented as follows: | *“If that man should be in the audience to-day, 1 want to tell him that I have| | not one rebellious thought against God, | | who has visited upon me this catastro- phe.” After the Carnegie Hall services, the | relatives were taken to the Salvation| | Army barracks, where the regular Sun- day night memorial services were held. The casket was placed near the platform and the same pathetic scenes that at- tended the services at Carnegie Hall were re-enacted. Colonel Higgins again con ducted the memorial, during which Miss | Eva Booth was so overcome that she had to be taken from the hall ' and removed | | to_her room. | DOAN’S KIDNEY PILLS.
