Two reports of raids ipon vessels carrying supplies for the Japanese have reached St. Petersburg. It considered probable, however, that they refer to the same affair, though the number of vessels de- stroyed and the locality of the action are differently stated in the two dis- patches. General Kuropatkin’s friends still assert that he is to be in chief command of the Raussian forces in Manchuria. Viceroy Alexieffl will be received with great pomp upon his retarn 1o St. Petersburg, where he will be guartered in the Winter Palace and otherwise honored. His return to the Far East as Viceroy at the conclusion of the war is by many persons consid- ered 1o be quite possible. is A detachment of having oc- r ntioned.

Alexieff will be received with pomp befitting the rank of Viceroy, which he will continue to hold in his term of res- idence here. The report of his ap- pointment as Minister of Foreign Af- fairs is true in substance if not in form, as he will undoubtedly be con- sulted on matters of foreign policy affecting the Far East. It is quite possible that when the war is over Alexieff will return to the Far East in his former capacity. e ALL QUIET AT MUKDEN. Japanese May Re-Attempt What They Failed to Do at Liaoyang. MUKDEN, Oct. 1. (Delayed in tion is relatively the same now as when, August 25, the Japanese were twenty miles south and east of Liao- vang. If they are reinforced suf- ficiently they might in one or two quick movements engage the Russians close to the Mukden defenses and re- attempt here what they failed to do at Liaoyang. Occaslonally wounded men are brought in here, but the fighting is in- nt and the situation is par- ticularly’ quiet west of the railway, while traffic on the Mukden-Sintmin- tin highway is about normal. Both sides are observing the strictest neu- trality in the case of the Sintmintin Railway. T .ere are no Japanese im- portations and traffic is uninterrupt- ed. One hundred and twenty-four horsecart loads of silver were sent to Sintmintin by the Chinese here yes-| terday, but the natives are recovering | confidence. Shops are being reopened | and the number of refugees is dimin- ishing on the Sintmintin road. The condition of the Russian army entirely contradicts the late sensa- tional reports. AL AN CZAR MAKES CHANGES. General Rydzevsky to Take Charge of Telegraph Department. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 1.—Gen- eral Rydzevsky, who recently resigned the important position of chief sec- retary to the Minister of the imperial household in order to be able to ac- cept the position of chief of the gend- armerie, has been appointed Under Secretary of the Interior, but he is more likely to replace M. Durovo, head of the Department of Telegraphs in the Ministry of the Interior, than to take charge of the gendarmerie. PASADENA MAN ALIVE DESPITE AWFUL INJURY Discharged From Hospital as Cured, Much to the Surnrise of Medi- cal Fraternity. PASADENA, Oct. 1.—Arthur Smith of South Pasadena left the Pasadena Hospital to-day substantially cured.y His case is the cause of much aston- ishment among the members of the local medical fraternity. Last Saturday Smith was carried to the hospital suffering exquisite pain and appdarently at death's door. He had fallen thirty feet down a newly dug well and an iron rod one-half inch in diameter penetrated the inside of the right thigh and came out of the right shoulder. His death was pre- dicted, but greatly to the surprise of the physicians he gradually improved, and when discharged was almost as strong as ever. ——— CONTRACTS FOR PORTLAND FAIR BUILDINGS AWARDED California Construction Company Bids Successfully for Two of the Structures. PORTLAND, Oct. 1.—Contracts for General Zouleff, who was chief of staff of the gendarmerie under the late Minister of the Interior Sipia- guine, is considered to be the most probable candidate for commander of the gendarmerie. three of the principal buildings of the Lewis and Clark Exposition have been let by the board of directors. The ag- gregate cost will be $55,444. One of the buildings will be for ma- chinery, electricity and transportation; one for mining and the third for| amusements.
