GROSVENOR REPLIES. Replying, General Grosvenor said that it was unimportant what he had written four vears ago. He (Grosv- enor) four years ago was an opponent of the nomination of Roosevelt. And at that time he wrote a popular opin- ion of Mr. Roosevelt which was print- ed all over the country. In this he made perfectly plain the sentiment at that time. “And if the gentleman thinks he can make me apologize for that statement he has got hold of the wrong man,” added Grosvenor. Mr. Roosevelt had written of him (Grosvenor) what he had a right to say. Kitchen was only thrashing over old straw, “I never said he was distasteful to me as a candidate,” ‘said Grosvenor. “Mr. Roosevelt was put on the ticket with Mr. McKinley, but it was McKin- ley who got all the abuse.” Governor Grosvenor said that no man on the stump ever made a better im- | pression on the country than did Mr. Roosevell in the campaign of 1900. His dignified manner of presiding over the Senate and his modesty with Senators was commendable. Then came the cri- sis of his life, the death of President McKinley. ; “And then it was,” said Grosvenor, “that the tears of the Democrats be- gan te flow.” The statement of Roose- velt at the bier of McKinley that he would earry out the policies of Me- Kinley saved untold money losses in | this country.

N WATCHING JAPANE SUMMARY OF THE CALL’'S WAR NEWS OF ORIENT WAR. \ With the Japanese ooncfl}tnt«l at Wijn and the Russians, after skirmishing with advance guards, retreating from the north bank of the Yalu, the dispatches from the Far East indicate that the long ex- pected battle near the Yalu cannot long be delayed. Port Arthur reports declare that a Japanese column had becn obliterated in an engagement on the Yalu, but there is no confirmation of the dispatch. Carelessnese on the part of the Russians at Port Arthur reslted in the explosion of a mine, the loss of a lieutenant and twenty men and the destruction of a launch. Renewed reports of possible intervention come from various sources and the St. Petersburg papers talk of an Anglo-Russo-¥French alliance, which has caused a sensation in Berlin. A special cable dispatch from St. Petersburg, however, says that Russia wowld listen to no offer of mediation based on the retention of o 1 ‘ SEOUL, Korea, April 19 (via Shang- hai, April 22).—The belief is general ilxere that no attempt will be made to | cross the Yalu River before the end of | this week, by which time the arrange- ments for the concerted Japanese i movement, a simultaneous rush to- ! ward the rviver from three distinct | points, will have been perfected. The second Japanese army is sup- | posed to have left Japan on April 16. | It probably will attempt to land near Port Arthur, while other fcrces will | try to land on the Manchurian coast | near Takushan, about fifty-five miles to the west of the mouth of the Yaluy, | | or Tatungkao, about fifteen miles west | of the river mouth. | Part of the general advance will be | { toward Liaoyang and a division of the | Guards, 16,000 strong, under Major General Inouye, will be the first troops | sent against thé Russians at Chintien- | cheng, which is opposite Wiju on the Manchurian side of the Yalu.

No details, it is added, were obtainable. SRR ACCIDENT CAVSES GLOOM. St. Petersburg Is Dejected Over the Recent Launch Disaster. T. PETERSBURG, April 22.—Vice- roy Alexieff’s announcement of the de- struction of a launch and the loss of twenty-one men by the explosion of a Russian mine at Port Arthur has added to the gloom which has prevailed since the disaster to the Petropavlovsk. “We are paying the price of carelessness,” said a member of the Admiralty, “and previous disasters seem to teach noth- ing.” The War Commission suppressed part of the Viceroy's dispatch, which showed where the mines were laid. It is be- lieved that, as launches were employed, | they were mining the entrance to the harbor, in order to prevent the Jap- anese from forcing an entrance and the remaining ships. It is evident, from the closing of the entrance, that Viceroy Alexfeff has no intention of letting his ships go to sea against a superior force, though this may not be the policy of Vice Admiral Skrydloff, who will determine on a plan | of operation when he assumes com- mand. —_— RUSSIAN ERRORS COSTLY. Officer and Twenty Men Are Killed While Placing Mines. ST. PETERSBURG, April 22.—The following telegram from Viceroy Alex- ieff has been received by the Czar: “Aseries of reconnoissances carried out on the Yalu River has shown that the Japanese are concentrating in con- siderable force. It is believed that they have about one division to the north of Wiju. They are also beginning to concentrate troops in Wiju, from which they have moved the Koreans. “Information has reached me that quantities of material, apparently parts of pontoon bridges, are collected oppo- | site the island of Mabikhe. “Our scouts have killed two Japanese scouts, one of whom appeared to be an officer.

Russian Foreingn Office Says Pub- lished Story Is Unfounded. ST.” PETERSBURG, April 22. — A correspondent called the attention of the Foreign Office to the telegram of the Harbin correspondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung, published in the United States, to the effect that four unarmed American citizens were held as Japanese spies at Mukden; that an American named Reilley and a Canadi- ; @an named Davidson had mysteriously disappeared from Mukden under cir- | cumstances such that they raised sus- picion of foul play. The Ioreign Office replied that they had no information whatever on the subject, and do not believe that the statement can be true, since any action affecting foreigners would be immediately reported. It is their belief that the statement is un- founded. LT e CHINESE SATISFIED.

He made his way in various cities of the country for many years, under a different name. Some time after coming to Pasadena his identity was revealed, and he resumed the name of Murat, taking only the title of captain, which was bestowed on him for his daring courage in the Crimean war.

A ROSE PAYS FOR CRIME. 1 SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April 22.— Frank Rose, who murdered his wife on last Christmas day, was shot to death in the yard of the Stat: Peni- tentiary here at 10:19 this miorning. Rose was strapped in the same little wooden chair in which Peter Morten- sen met his death a few months ago. Five prison guards, concealed behind a heavy blue curtain in the doorway of the biacksmith shop across the area, formed the executing squad. One of the rifies held a blank cartridge. Rose went to his death with the same coolness that has marked his conduct since he surrendered to the police. Death was instantanous, the four bul- lets lodging in or very close to his heart. Rose's crime was peculiarly atro- cious and cold-blooded in that it al- most resulted in the death of his two- year-old son from starvation and cold. Rose, who claimed his wife was con- sorting with other men, shot her ol Christmas day, while she was lying in bed. He sat and talked with her until she died from the wound and then went away, leaving his boy in bed with his dead mother and soaked in her blood. Rose says he returned four times in the next two days to feed the child, climbing through a window and over the dead body of his wife in order to get into the house. At the end of that time he went to police headquarters and gave himself up, stating that he had shot his wife. He never expressed regret for his deed and asserted a firm beflief that it was all predestined. Rose said that in 1892 he was a member of the Dalton gang in Okla- homa for a time and took part in the robbery and murder of a number of “boomers.” After leaving the Daltons he continued his operations as a mém- ber of the Starr gang. Rose said he served two years in the State Prison at Jefferson City, Mo., for larceny and embezzlement. ———————— Emperor Abandons Trip.
