RUSSIA WHISTLES TO KEEP
GENERAL STAFF REFUSES TO BELIEVE THAT
JAPANESE HAVE RESTED UP ENOUGH
SO QUICKLY.
THAI RUSSIAN FLANKS ARE THREAILNLD
IS DISCREDITED AT ST. PETERSBURG
Military Critics Claim that Marshal Oyama's Purpose
Having Faded the Honor Belongs to Kuropatkin.
Czar's Complimentary Letter is Read
to the Army at Mukden.
Associated ITt'HHH Uulk'tln.
Statements I hat tho Japanese army
Is concentrating upon tho flanks of thu
Hussian furcoH in the vicinity of Muk
(It'll arc mot with expressions of In
credulity at thu UiishIuii war oflloc.
It la tho opinion ut St. Petersburg
that u much longer time miiHt elapse
before Oyuma can put his army, which
was sorely tried In tho battle of Lino
Yang, In condition to undertake a for
ward movement.
Russia's recession from her early
position on the question of contraband
is regarded as tho occasion or the
probable retirement of Vice Admiral
Avellan from his post at tho head of
tho Russian admiralty department.
St. Petersburg Surprised.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 17.-2:25 a. m.
Tho war office has heard tho re
port of an apparent Japanese concen
tration against tho Hank of General
Kuropatkin's army, roparatory to an
advance toward Mukden. While it is
not in a position to absolutely confirm
or deny the report, It would surprise
tho war office should Field Marshal
Oyama have been able in such a short
time to organize his forces for a seri
ous advance northward.
Japanese Moving.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 16. General
Kuropatkin reports that recpnnois
uncos have established the fact that
the Japanese are massing near Yen
tia and Uotitsiaput.e.
Bodies of Japanese are also moving
in the Liao river valley.
Drawing Comparisons.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 1 (!.;): 20 p. m.
The Itussiau military critics, analyz
ing General Kuropatkin's extended
report of the batle of Liao Yang,
seem to unite in considering that,
Field Marshal Oyama's purpose hav
ing failed, the honors belong rather
to Kuropatkin than to the Japanese
commander-in-chief.
The Novoe Vreniya draws a parallel
between Lino Vang and 'Borodino,
where General Kusloff's abandonment
of Moscow to Napoleon was followed
by the disastrous retreat of the
French.
Japs at It Again.
Mukden, Sept 1C Early this morn
ing twenty-six wounded men belong
ing to Major General Mistcheuko's
Cossack division were brought into
Mukden.
Particulars of the skirmish are not
available. II Is not clear whether it
was a simple outpost affair, or tho be
ginning of the real Japanese advance
on Mukden.
A $30,000,000 Battle.
Paris, Sept. 17. Exact figures of
the Russian losses in killed, wounded
and missing in the operations before
Liao Yang, from Ancnst 13 to 2fi. have
been received by the general staff, ac
cording to the Journal des St. Peters
burg eorcsioink'nt. These amount to
officers and 21.8' soldiers and 2

IM IN Jill; OIK IN FLIGHT
Judge Speake Called Down Defense's
Attorney for Objecting to Pres
ence of Militia in ths
Court Room.
Huntsvlllo, Ala., Sept. 1C The sec

and only other person indicted who
has been arrested so far. Several
others are believed to have taken
flight.
The night passed quietly at the mili
tary camp about tho jail. Tents were
pitched today, and the militia is pre
pared to may.--indefinitely. Their
presence has put a stop to all talk of
trouble.
The grand jury resumed its work to
day. Guarded by squads of militia, Thom
as N. Riggins and Ren Hill were
marched Into the circuit court room
late today and given a preliminary
hearing. The scene was such as has
not been wilnesssed hero since the
"reconstruction period," lis such a
thing as soldiers in a civil court room
has not. been seen since tbe days im
mediately after the civil war.

September 2(1, and Mr. Hill's Septem
ber 21. A sneclal jurv has boeti or
dered for each occasion.
Alorney Lawrence Cooper. ior Mr.
Rlim-ins. ereated somewhat of a sensa
tion when, in addressing tbe court, he
questioned the constitutionality oi me
act allowing soldiers in a civil court
room. He mutio an impassioned
speech against the presence of the
militia.
Solicitor Pettus replied to Mr.
Cooper with tlie statement that the
military were not aliens. Out natives
of Alabama, and sent, here by their
governor to maintain the laws.
Judge Speake characterized Mr.
Cooper's specb as incendiary, and re
minded ihe attorney that what lie said
was liable to arouse the passions of
the people. Judge Speake assumed
responsibility for the presence of tlu
military.
The grand jury returned nine other
true billss tonight against alleged
members of tho mob. This maKes
nineteen Indictments.
