Hit Greatest Hopei Blasted. Trince Herbert Bismarck had been ill some weeks with cancer of the liver. For several days before his death, according to cablegrams, his case was considered hopeless. Born in 1849, he was the eldest son of the late Prince Otto Bismarck, the great Chancellor of the German Em pire. He studied law in Berlin and Bonn Universities, served in the Prus sian Army as a lieutenant of reserves during the Franco-German War of 1870-1871, and was severely wounded at the battle of Mars-la-Tour. In 1873 he became an official of the Department of Foreign Affairs and was Resistant to his father, then chancellor. He was attached to the German Legations at Heme and at "Tienna from 1874 to 1877. Later he became councilor of the German Em bassy in London and subsequently oc cupied the same position at St. Peters burg. In 1884 he was appointed Min ister Extraordinary at The Hague, and in 1885 he became Under Secretary of Srate in the Department of For tign Affairs. Since he ceased to be Under Secre tary of Foreign Affairs on the retire ment of his father, Prince Herbert had taken part in public affairs only as a member of the Rcichstay. His atti tude had been that of a man not ap preciated by his sovereign and who was waiting in the background for an opportunity to resume his career. His delivery as a parliamentary speaker improved year by year. He always declined to join any political group, steadfastly calling himself an independent. His haughty and im perious manners in early life, when he was ever conscious of the fact that he was the son of the most powerful statesman in Europe, softened in la'ter years. Prince Bismarck's father trained him to be his successor as Chancellor of the German Empire, and it was a heavy blow to both that this hope could not be realized. An incident which nearly wrecked his career and caused the old Chan cellor great annoyance was Prince (then Count) Herbert's elopement with Princess Carolath Beuthcn, wife of Prince Karl, the head of a distin guished Silesian house. The Princess was of the Hatzfeldt family, and young Bismarck at the time was has father's private secretary. Count Herbert re mained with the Princess in Southern Italy a few weeks and then, at the command of his father, returned to Germany. The Princess was after ward divorced and has since died. The title of Prince Bismarck and the larpe fortune of Prince Herbert will go to his 7-year-old son Otto. The late Emperor Frederick gave to the elder Bismarck extensive forests at Friedrichsruh which have since in creased in value, and the Chancellor gave to Prince Herbert $2,400,000 in securities and cash. The estate is now estimated to be worth $4,000,000, ex clusive of the lands. THE PANAMA CAvAL. Aatrfcaa Machinery Will Decrease Cost of Construction. Washington, D. C. (Special). R. M.

MOVING UPON TIE PASS Koropatlia Reports Strong Japanese Forces Adrancing. FLANKING MOVEMENT IS LIKELY. On a Hundred Larg Barfe th Japs Arc Slowly Ascending Llao River Toward Tl Pass-Now Evident That Kuropitkln Will Hive to Fight Hard to Hold Even That Posltloa Japanese at Port Arthur. Pield Marshal Oyama reports that the positions of t.h Russian Army in the vicinity of Mukden are unchanged. According to Chinese reports the Jap anese have been compelled to evacuate Liaoyang because of its bad sanitary condition, caused by the bodies of the Russian dead. Japanese movement northward indicates an intention of again trying to outflank the Russians. The Japanese are using 100 barges to transport troops up the Liao River to Tie Pass, and apparently intend to engage Kuropatkin's forces at that fortified position. Kuropatkin in a re port to the Czar says strong detach ments of Japanese infantry have ad vanced three miles north tf the Yen tai Station. General Stoessel at Port Arthur re ports terrific bombardment by the Jap anese, who are als constructing forti fications on positions they have occu pied. In a single day 250 shells were thrown into the besieged town and the destruction must have been great. The Russians finally drove off the Japanese, who besieged the Kom mander Islands, off the coast of Kam tschntka. Five Japanese fishing schrwmers were burned and their crews annihilated.

JAPS MOVINO CP TAITSE RIVER. Korold Off to the Enstward and Another Tarn lag Movement Looked For. Mukden (By Cable). According to Chinese advices, the evacuation of Liaoyang by the Japanese has been forced, owing to the bad sanitary con dition caused by the dead bodies. The Japanese were Wednesday forti fying the approaches by way of the river. Small detachments of Japanese moved northward from the Taitse River, preparations for an advance evidently still continuing although the second stage of the Japanese move ment has not yet been completed by any means. The first was to the north, as 11 for a turning movement; but General Kuroki is now going east while to fhe westward preparations are being made ti send a large force up the Liao River.- For this purpose the Japanese already have taken 100 large barges, with which they intend to ascend as ftr as lie Pass. It is stated that the Japanese are carefully preparing their turning and Hanking movements, and will not en gage in another big battle before the occupation of Tie Pass. These pre parations are expected to occupy one montn. The panicky conditions prevailing immediately after the battle of Liao yang have entirely disappeared from the Kussran army now concentrated here. Business' has been resumed and the city is quiet. The Russo-Chinese Hank has reopened. 1 he tailure of the Japanese to fol low up the advantage gained at Liao yang has caused surprise here. An independent authority, who accompa nied the rear guard from the positions south ot Liaoyang to Mukden, says that this failure is accounted for by the fact that the Japanese lost 40,000 killed and wounded in one day's fight ing, and that, besides they were too tired to continue the advance. The Japanese are reported to be in trenching around Liaoyang and to have repaired the bridite over the Taitse River. Twelve thousand soldiers wounded at Liaoyang have been treated at the Ked Lrois Hospital here. SAVED THE MATCHES. How a Jail Prisoner Secured Sulphur to Com mit Suicide. White Plains, N. Y.

Prlnc Radilvll Tells of Belligerents' Ferocity Truce Ignored. Chefoo (By Cable). AccorJing to Lieut. Prince Radzivil, of the Rus sian Army, who just reached here from Part Arthur bearing dispatches from lieutenant General Stoessel, the commander-in-chief of the forces of the Russian strongholds, to General Kuropatkin, the temper of the bellig erents at Port Arthur has reached an absolutely merciless stage. Prince Radzivil served with the British in the Boer War, and he says that until he became aware of the state of affairs at Port Arthur he had no idea that war could be so horrible. It was set forth in these dispatches some weeks ago that serious suspi cions were entertained, by both bel ligerents that the other was misusing the Red Cross flag. These suspicions have been increased by the commis sion of war acts by the soldiers of both armies, until now even flags of truce or surrender are not rspected by either side. Prince Radzivil declares that the men of both armies are absolutoly venomous in their antagonism. But General Stoessel has addressed his garrison, saying that the present mood of the Japs indicates clearly the ne cessity of resisting them to the last drop of Russian blood, because if the Japanese soldiers entered the fortress it undoubtedly would be impossible for their officers to control them and prevent a massacre. For this reason Lieutenant General Stoessel is mak ing no objection to civilians leaving Port Arthur. When the 300 women who are in Port Arthur engaged in hospital work were advised to leave, they replied that they would rather fice the possi bility of massacre than desert their posts. In consequence of the fact that flags of truce are ignored, numbers of Japanese dead who have been ly ing on the slopes of the hills of the northeast defenses for weeks past are still unburier. aitd the stench in Port Arthur from decomposing bodies when the wind is in the right direction is almost unendurable. The Russian soldiers, who are in some ewes ported only 50 paces from heaps of drcaying dead, have constantly to wear over their noses handkerchiefs soaked in camphor, as otherwise they would be unable to remain at their posts. In the course of the assaults which took place in the four last days of August two companies of Japanese soldiers, according to Prince Radzivil, found themselves at the mercy of the Rusiansand hoisted a white flag. To this, however, the Russians paid no attention, but continued to volley rap idly in5 the helpless ranks of the enemy. In the meantime Japanese troops in the rear of the companies that had raised the white flag saw what their comrades had done, and expressed their disapproval of the sur render by firing into their rear. As a result from this fire from friend and foe 600 men were annihilated. The dead fell among the decomposing bodies of previous assaults. He's Frisky at 80. New York. (Special).

Railroad Officials Claim th Robbers Did Not Secur Any Money, Though th Safe Was Blown Up and th Contents Taken Rob bery Appears to B th Work of Experienced Railroad Men. Des Moines, Iowa (Special). Five bandits perpetrated a successful hold up of a passenger train on the Chi cago, Rock Island and Pacific Rail way near Letts, Iowa. The state ments of expressmen are that the rob bers secured no money, though the safe was blown open and the contents taken. The officers assert that the safe contained merchandise of some value, company papers in transit, etc., but no money. Three special trains, on one of which are posses of railroad and ex press employes and a number of offi cers, were rushed to the scene of the robbery immediatly upon receipt of the news, the trains going from Mus catine, West Liberty and Davenport. Horses were procured at Columbus Junction, near which point the rob bers left the railroad. Mounted men with bloodhounds are now scouring the country for miles in every direction in an effort to appre hend the robbers, while all the rail ways that 1 passed through Columbus Junction or nearby points from the time of the robbery are being held up by the officers and carefully inspected by them to ascertain if the bandits are undertaking to escape in this way; The engineer and firemen of the train fur nished good descriptions of three of the men. The oOic'i.lt seem to be of the opin ion that the robbers, when they left the engine two miles cast of Colum bia Junction, instead of going into that place, where the robbery had al ready been reported by wire from Fruiiland, started off to the east into th marsh country lying between the Iowa and the .Mississippi Rivers, where the Iowa forms a delta, and where the country is overgrown by tinned timber. Believing the bandits will keen un der cover for ihe time being, the offi cers directing the search have a rauged to kep a sharp lookout aloim the Mississippi and low Rivers and at Wapello. Keithsbur? and other points. lhr robbery occurred at a place known as Whisky Hollow, about six miles out of Muscatine, and near rruitlan.!. The train known as No. it is a thrcugh Chicago and Kansas City train. The robbery was at the end of a sharp omve, and exactly where n similar holdup was engineered two ears i,go by Marx. Nicdermeyer and andine, the so-called Chicago "car barn bandits." The engineer as the tram rounded the curve saw a red lan tern on the track, and immediate'' stopped the train. Immediately the engine, express car and baggage cir were boarded by the rotbers. appar ently five in number. A fusillade of shot was fired along the sides ofth'; train to prevent intetfitence by pas sengers. The car safe was dynamited and the contents taken, after which the engine crew was compelled to re turn to the passenger coaches. The engire wis then cut off and the rob bers ran it tmicMy through Letts and to within two miles of Columbus Junction, where it was left standing. The manner in wht-h the bandits handle 1 the engine, their knowledge of the fact that Lett was a closed station at night, and the selection of a point near Columbus Junction a the place at which to abandon the en gine, convinces the othirs that some of . the robber; arc experienced rail road men. PHILIPPINES ARE PACIFIED. Military Expert Believes the Forces There Should Be Reduced. Washington, D. C. (Special).

Chicago (Special). Dr. James P Lynch has explained his statement that all civilized men will be insane in 700 years. He gives as the causci of the increase in insanity drink, over indulgence in drugs, the mad rush fot money, over-exertion, physically and mentally; the high nervous tension o! life and the present condition of wom an as wage-earner and mother. In speaking of the part woman ptayi in the increase of insanity, Dr. Lynch says: "The society woman 'and the work ing woman both live a strenuous life of constant exhaustion. The gay life of pleasure of the one woman and the drudgery of the other are continuous ly decreasing their nervous strength and energy, and when brain-fagged and physically exhausted they marry; they become the mothers of physics' starvelings, who develop into men ant women unfit for the burdens of life These in their turn live in the man ner of their parents, weaker and ever less able to stand the nervous tensioc of work and dissipation. These peo ple are often prcdispose.1 to insanit) and nervous diseases, while often the result is degeneration and imbecility. when men make it possible fot women to return to their proper place of home and motherhood, and they can cease J,heir pitiful struggle for ex istence, leaving tne ODtaining 01 a live lihood to the men of the family, then the conditions that produce insanity will diminish. "Among the foreign laborers, bad whisky and beer cause mnre insanity than does anything else. The reason is that the drink is 'doctored' 'with co- colus indicus. or 'fish berry,' that is use I by the Chinese in catching hsh. "In other words, drugs and whisky combined are a good combination upon which to build a lunatic. CENSUS OF COTTON GINNED. Totnl ot 390,414 Commercial Bales Prior (o September. Washington, D. C.

Say th Troops Oiv Splendid Account of Themselves Throughout and Did Not' Ltav a Single Field or Fortress Oun lo th Japanese Th Terrific Fight About' , Liaoyang. St. Petersburg (By Cable). Gen erab Kuropatkin's official report come as a considerable relief as setting at rest alarmist stories of the loss of guns, the cutting off of divisions and the death orr capture of prominent commanders which have been freely circulated here. The report, which is a very long one, enters at considerable detail into the various phases of the battle of Liaoyang. At the time that General Orloff'. failure to hold the vital position at the Yentai mines was responsible for the breaking down of the whole of Gen eral Kuropatkin's plan of battle and turned a potential victory into defeat. The manner in which the retreat was carried out in the face of the terrible condition of the country and the de termined pressure of the Japanese armies does much to restore General Kuropatkin's prestige in military cir cles. The report dwells upon the terrible difficulties encountered during the re treat at Liaoyang from positions on the southern front, when 24 horses and a whole company of infantry, har nessed to a single gun, were not able to move the gun from a quagmire, ll is shown that the retirement from Liaoyang to the north bank of the Taitse River was carried out in good order and with celerity under clover ol night on August 31, when it had be come evident that General Kuroki waj making a determined drive at th Russian communications north ol Liaoyang. General Kuropatkin pays tribute to the courage and devotion of every arm of the service under hii command, and especially to the bra very of the troops to whom was set the task of recapturing the Sykwantun hills, on the north bank of the Taitse River. The engagement of the night of September 2 was productive of some of the most severe fighting of the whole battle. A Desperate Battle. It was practically a company com manders' fight, commands becoming teparated in the darkness and inde pendent units acting upon their own initiative, with the one object of carry ing out the commander's orders to re-! take the heights. This account puts' the Russian soldier in a very differ ent light from the generally accepted belief that he is a mere military au tomaton, capable only of acting in a mass under specific instructions. The necessity of retaking the Sykwantun Heights formed the first break in General Kuropatkin's plan and lost him a whole day September, 2 and -thus delayed launching the blow against Kuroki, and when the) Russians had just regained a foothoTdl on the coveted position Orloff's fniP ure to hold the Japanese advav.cef against the Y'entai minej threatened the envelopment of Kuropatkin on the north, crippled the whole Russian scheme and forced the now historic retreat to Mukden. The report as given out does not state the casualties. The War Office is extremely reti cent regarding the present situation and future plans at the front. It i stated in general terms that the army is concentrated around Mukden, leav ing the inference that it is ready to make another stand.
