Kouropatkin Is Said to Have Opened With Field Marshal Oyama Looking Toward Ending War. % tlations Noted Nun Is Dying. New York dispatch: Mother Fran­ cisco, mother superior of the Third Order of Franciscan Sisters, is dying. She is one of the largest women in the country, her weight being 557 pounds. A dispatch to a London news agency from St. Petersburg says: "The censership has allowed the newspapers to print a brief Paris dls- ; patch reporting that Gen. Kouropatkin has opened negotiations with Field Marshal Oyama," This dispatch was received by the Chicago Tribune. It came from the same agency that furnished the Trib­ une with its exclusive story on the surrender of Port Arthur, It is the most significant of a se­ ries of mysterious" "peace" rumors and messages that have been in the air for a week. They have been cur- rent in London, Paris, New York and evsjs Chicago. Thursday njght information was re­ ceived in London from two different sources in St. Petersburg saying that 'Gen. Kouropatkin had sent telegrams of grave import to the war office which led to a hurried council of the war party. Another significant incident was the action in Paris Friday of the French syndicate's withdrawal 6f the pending Russian loan. Inner financial circles in London re­ ceived information Wednesday night that the Internal crisis in Russia had convinced the grand ducal Regime of the necessity of bringing the war to a speedy close. After the close of the stock market Wednesday several -- international banking houses recSived private cables from their correspondents on the con­ tinent intimating that steps were un­ der way looking to peace between Russia and Japan. There has been a belief in financial circles since the fall of Port Arthur that Russia will seek peace with Ja­ pan without risking another battle. This belief became stronger early in the present week, after the revulsion of feeling following Sunday's tragedy at St. Petersburg disclosed the wide­ spread revolutionary sentiment throughout European Russia. The New York Sun's London cor­ respondent in his cable on Wednesday night said: "It may be said that those at pres­ ent controlling the Russian policy are practically convinced of the necessity ior bringing the war to a speedy close before the disastrous events of the current week make such a course ab­ solutely imperative. It is hardly to be expected that peace negotiations will be opened to­ morrow or next week. Russia will probably make an effort to restore a semblance of order before praying for peace." You probably will think me foolish and you fellows won't believe me," said one •'"well informed Chicago finan­ cier on Wednesday evening, "but I tell yon that the banks in New York and Chicago have been assured that the war with Japan is not to be pursued further. Peace probably will not be made a matter of official announce­ ment to-morrow or the next day, but it is in sight. How else would you account for a rise in the price of Rus­ sian bonds a few hours after the St. Petersburg troubles of Sunday and Monday when a revolution against the czar's government seemed imminent?" A day or two later in the week ca­ blegrams reached some of the Chica­ go bankers containing news of a re­ assuring character. It went further than the usual advice to investors "to be calm," and carried with it hints that important events looking toward peace between the belligerents im­ pended. CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA. While the strike is spreading nntil it has now reached the most distant provinces of the Russian empire, the czar's troops have the situation well in hand in the larger cities. The liberals say that there will be no great revolution in Russia at pres­ ent. They say that the time is not yet ripe. The present uprising is characterized as a spasita, one among many which must follow before the Russian populace is thoroughly awak­ ened to the possibilities of a real re­ volt and the significance of a strug­ gle for liberty. It is believed that the government, fearing that the numerous recent re­ verses to the Russian arms at the front 'would so add to the discontent that the people generally would take up arms In civil war, ordered Kouro­ patkin to gather his forces and deal the Japanese a crushing blow. This is said to explain the move­ ment of a division across the Hun river. Kouropatkin evidently was suc­ cessful in carrying out the orders, of the authorities, for from Manchuria comes the news that the Japanese have been drivep back. After two days of desperate fighting the Rus­ sians have beeh victorious a'll along the line. / This report has had an electrical ef­ fect in allaying the fears of the people and in re-establishing confidence in the government. At Warsaw theire was a serious col- VARDAMAN ARRESTS A SLAYER Remove* Police Commlaelewer. San Francisco, Cal., special; Mayor Eugene Schmitz has removed Police Commissioner Harry Hutton.

Jackson, Miss., special; While Gov­ ernor Vardaman was returning home on a Yazoo and Mississippi Valley train he arrested Jim Hannah, col­ ored, charged with killing two men in Holmes county. The governor learned that Hannah was on the train and, borrowing a pistol from the conduct­ or, went to the forward coach and compelled the negro to surrender. The accused was identified. Man Dies Hiccoughing. Cincinnati, Ohio, special: William Schroeder, laborer, aged 40 years, died in the city hospital from excessive hic­ coughing, all efforts to overcome the nervous affection during the last two weeks having been unsuccessful. lision between workmen and soldiers, official reports giving the casualties as two killed and seven wounded. The strike at Libau continues, and there has been no material change in the situation at Moscow, Saratoff and Lodz. There are grave fears of trou» ble at Ivanovo-Voznesensk, the fore, most cotton goods manufacturing town In the empire. Predictions are made that the ending of the strike wiu but result in increased activity on the part of the revolutionists. In St. Petersburg there is no longer any doubt that the str «e is practical­ ly broken. Fourteen establishments, including the Franco-Russian Abou- kou, Baltic, IiussG-A.mcrics.il Rubber company, and Ropes' American refin­ ery, already have resumed. A re­ markable feature is that the men #ho are returning to work are not asking conditions of the employers. They have seemingly turned their backs upon po­ litical agitators and accepted the gov­ ernment's promises in the matter of shorter hoilrs and an equitable ad­ justment of their grievances at their face value. . That the government purposes to compel' the men to settle upon the government's terms is plainly evi­ denced by Finance Minister Kokov- soff's response to a deputation of mass; ters, to whom he announced the gov­ ernment's decision, after an impartial investigation of both sides of the con­ troversy, to carry out the letter and spirit of the proclamation of Jan. 25. Naturally to the masters this means that they will have to foot the bills. One of the best posted and most famous of Russian liberals said: While the events of last Sunday have given an enormous impetus through­ out Russia to all movements against the existing order of things, it is truly marvelous with what skill and adroit­ ness the government seems to be turn­ ing the situation to its own account with the very men who have suffered and who less than a week ago would have ben in opeq, revolt had they been able to procure arms." Fhe only high grade Baking it! u«« w ii l a ITSOlJcrfltS PfiOO. Baking ' t M TROOPS FIGHT IN COLD. The battle on the Shakhe and Hun rivers which the world has been ex­ pecting daily since last October may be in progress. It is a battle fought in the snow and fog of a terrible Manchurian winter. The oold is Intense, the mercury regis­ tering zero and below. Blinding snow storms and dense fogs conceal the movements of the troops. No more, gloomy setting for a battle scene can be imagined. On Thursday the Japanese began moving against the Russian right, at­ tacking viciously Russian positions along the Hun river, where that stream bends southward. Inside the Russian lines the belief existed that Gen. Nogi's army, ar­ rived from Port Arthur, was in re­ serve, supporting the movement. The Russians claim that they n^t only beat off the attack after severe fighting, but that they advanced in the evening to the line of Hugoudi and Hounlitadzy. ' Gen. Kouropatkin is believed to have at least 300,000 men at his dis­ posal, while Oyama's force is equal if not superior. HEAR SOUNDS OF BATTLE* From Kuroki's headquarters comes the news that sounds of battle were heard at intervals along the entire front Friday morning. The Russian ar­ tillery was feeling the whole Japa­ nese line. It is uncertain whether this will b,rlng on a general engagement or not. llie Japanese guns refrained from re­ plying to the Russians except on the left. The clouds and snow made it impo v sible to see more than a few hundred feet away. The Russian gunnery fire was largely guesswork. If the Russians' operations were pre­ liminary to a general attack, as ap­ pears possible, their plans were frus­ trated by the storm and fog. They could not have chosen a worse time. The hardships of the soldiers, camp­ ing on the plaint, where there is no shelter or fuel and but little water! are the worst yet encountered In this war.- \ Ofric Retai! Grocers Elect Officers.

He replied: "Your suggestion was correct. The name of the boat was the Fashion and the name of the engineer was Oliver Fair- child.

MYDEN'S VIEWS GIVES HIS OPINION OF THE BEST TREATMENT T0B PARALYSIS. DMIWM That Dr. William*' Pink Pill* Beitored the Use of His Llipbi Whea All Other Remedies Failed. The premonitory symptoms of paraly­ sis are: trenibliug of the hauds; sudden loss of power iu arms or legs, frequently affecting one whole side of the body; stag­ gering; partial or entire iuability to use the fingers; distortion of the features, sometimes an nucontrollable quivering of the chin; severe pains; difficulty iu speech. Frequently the first warning is a vague feeling of headache, vertigo and muscular weakness. I11 a recent interview Mr. W. J.'Xi. Hitydeu said : " I truly think that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a great medi­ cine for they cured me when physicians and other remedies had. failed to give me the slightest relief. Too close at­ tention to business brought on an attack of nervousness which finally developed into paralysis. There were times when it was impossible for me to move iny hands or to get up from a chair. At other times I had partial control of my limbs, but I was nfraid to go far from the house for fear I mljjht suddenly be­ come helpless and have to be carried home. "While I was in this miserable con­ dition, I was stricken with malarial fever and confined to bed for four mouths. I had the best physicians, but while they relieved niv fever, their treatment did not entirely drive the malaria from my system, and they did not help my par­ alysis in the least, " I was well nigh despairing when a friend persuaded me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Whau I had finished one box I could see results that encouraged me. My couditiou kept steadily improving, and when I had taken seven boxes I was cured of paralysis and the malaria was completely driven out of my system. For two years now I have enjoyed the best of health and have attended to bus­ iness without any interruption." Mr. Hay den's home is at No. 253 West 89th street. New York. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have enred many similar cases of paralysis, also locomotor ataxia. They are sold by all druggists. A treatment . so simple, inexpensive and successful should be tried by every sufferer from paralysis iu any of its stages. mailto:6.00@9.00 mailto:2.00@5.S0 mailto:1.75@5.25 mailto:J1.50@6.10 mailto:J2.75@7.60 mailto:4.25@7.35 mailto:2.50@6.70
