Death In Vanderbilt Road Race Six Men Suffocated In Tunnel Funeral of Postmaster General Payne. Judge Herrick'a Engagements Boo- I ten Peace Conference. Simultaneously with General Kuro patkln's announcement to his army that the time had come for a forward movement there comes news that the Russians have captured Bentslputze, one of the strategical points held by the Japanese. The event did not precipitate a se vere engagement, though the Japanese are reported to have suffered a con sldcrable loss, the turning of their position having exposed them to a severe flic. In his address to his army, General Kuropalkin, asserts that the Russians lave a force numerically superior to that of the Japanese, and he predicts a telling victory for his soldiers. The retirement of the Japaneso on their position at Liao Yang is con ttruod as evidencing the desire of Field Marshal Oyama to draw the Rus sians Into an attack upon a strong de fensive position. The dry weather is favorable to military operations. The fleet blockading Port Arthur Is reported to bo more than usually alert watching for British ships that are supposed to ho planning to take sup plies into the harbor. Looks For a Long War. In addressing the United Clearing houses of Tokio Count OKuma, leader of the progressive party, warned the people to prepare for a lung war, the date of the termination of which it was now Impossible to foretell. He predicted that the cost to Japan of two-year war, including the .loans which had been already placed and the expenses consequent upon the war at its termination, would total one billion dollars, which would make the per capita Bhare amount to 120. The count predicted that It would be necessary for the Japanese govern. ment to borrow $250,000,000 next year and added that if $75,000,000 were se cured abroad the country must face a depreciation in the value of its secur ities. Count Okiima urged the nation to carefully husband its strength and re sources and expressed the fullest con fidence In the ultimate victory of Jap anese nrnis. Enlarged Estimate of Crops. Bradstreet's summary of the Btate of trade says: Popular estimates of leading crop yields continue to enlarge. Corn has passed out of danger of serious frost damage In the Wwt, and distribution, both at wholesale and retail, expands as cooler weather approaches. While the buying of dry goods, hard ware, groceries, shoes and clothing continues of good volume, particular ly at the West, conservative influ ences find reflection in small but fre quent orders, calculated to meet ne cessities. There are some flaws In the situa tion which stamp this as an off year when compared with previous periods of great, prosperity. Relatively most activity In current distribution, wheth er of dry goods, shoes, clothing, lum ber, hardware or building material, ex ists In the West and Northwest. Cold er weather Is needed in ihe South to stimulate retail activity. In the East business Is not active In some Industrial centers, which have felt the pinch of the spring and sum mer depression In building or In tex tllo Industry. Price fluctuations of cotton aro a damper on buying from first hands of cotton goods. Vanderbilt Automobile Race. An American, in a French made machine, George Heath, with a Pan- hard of 90-hoise power, won the auto mobile race for the William K. Van derbilt Jr., cup on Long Island Satur day, the first international race for motor cars ever run on American soil and the first big automobile road race seen In this country. The 2S-1.40 miles were covered by Heath and his giant square-nosed car In 5 hours, 20 minutes, 45 seconds, act ual running time, and he won the rrophy by traveling tho distance In only 1 minute, 28 seconds' better time than did tho young Frenchman, Al bert Clement, who drove nn 80-horso power Clement car from his father's factory. Heath represented tho Automobile ciub of France and M. Clement also rode under the trl-colors of tho re public. Seven cars started, but owing to various mishaps only six went over the entire course. In tho struggle one man was killed and several injured. One of the in jured was seriously hurt. The dead man was Carl Meusel, chauffeur for George Areiits, Jr., of New York, and it was Arenta himself who was most hurt. Latest reports say Mr. Arenta will recover. Suffocated In Tunnel. Six employes of tho Grand Trunk were suffocated to death by coal gas early Sunday In tho St. Clair tunnel which runs under the St. Clair river from Port Huron to Sarnln, Ont. A coal train broko in two while passing through tho tunnel and three of tho train crew were suffocated while part of tho train lay stalled In Iho tunnel; the engineer lost his life when ha returned and endeavored to push the stalled cars hack to safety and two other rescuers perished in vain attempts to penetrate the gas eous atmosphere of the great tube. An engine with a party of rescuers ontered the tube and had proceeded but a sho'-t distance when they found John Haley, a track walker, lying un conscious on the track. Ho was tak en out. and arslu the engine plunged Into the gaseous atmosphere. The rescuers wore overcome, how ever, by the gas before the train was roached and Brakcman McGrath died Switchman Blake, who was a member of the party, lifter a time made an other attempt to penetrate tho gas and by this time succeeded in reaching the (stalled tr.Kine, coupled it to the cars and tan the train out into the day light.

Head-End Collision of Missouri Pacific Trains. Crew of Sidetracked Freight Mistook a Local Passenger Train For Second Section of the Excursion Train and Pulled Out Front Car and Locomo tive Telescoped. Warrensburg, Mo., Oct. 11. Twen. ty-elght persons were killed and CO injured by a head-end collision of Mis sourl Pacific trains three miles east of Warrensburg yesterday. The trains were the second section of a passen ger train from Wichita for St. Loulf and an extra freight train. MoBt of the dead were residents ol Missouri and Kansas, as are the In Jured. The dead: Mrs. A. J. Darsk and 12-year-old son Gilbert, Dexter, Kan.; W. H. Allen and two sons, Baird and Francis, Pittsburg, Kan.; Dorsey Green, Pennsboro. Mo.; T. F. Dores, Dronaugh, Mo.; Nellie Sullivan, Ced arvale, Kan.; Ada Kane, Pittsburg Kan.; Dollie Sullivan, Cedarvale Kan.; T. H. Alley, Cedarvale, Kan. Mrs. Hattie Kelsey, Oxford, Kan.; S A.

Cassment, Sedan, Kan.; Mrs. N Slndsey, Oxford, Kan.; nn unidentified woman riding in the cab of the pas senger locomotive. The passenger train, consisting ol two day coaches, a Pullman and a ca boose, was loaded with world's fail excursionists from Southeastern Kan sas and Southwestern Missouri. The Wichita passenger train had been cut in two at Pleasant Hill on account ol the heavy load and a locomotive at Inched to the front car, without a Dnggage car aa a buffer. The extra freight had been side tracked at Montserrat for the first section of the Wichita train which carried signals that a second section was following. A local passenger trair passed and the freight crew took th local for the second section of the Wichita train and pulled out of the side track. Three miles west the freight met the second section. The impact telescoped the tendei of the passenger locomotive and the front car, which was full of passen gers, and It was here that the sacri fice of life took place. The passen ger conductor, E. I. Barns, ran all the way to Warrensburg to report the wreck. Every physician In Warrens burg and hundreds of citizens hast ened to the wreck to assist the wound ed. Twenty persons were killed out right, and seven died within a few hours. The dead were placed on flat cars and brought to Warrensburg. A cor oner's jury Is now seeking to fix the responsibility for the wreck. The conductor of the freight train says he was dozing while his train was at Montserrat and when the local train passed Engineer Horton believed It was the second section of the Wichita train, and thinking the track clear, pulled out on the main line.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 11. A battle upon which the fate of this year's campaign in Manchuria depends seems only a few days ahead. Advices from the front are meager. AH that Is positively known officially is that General Kuropalkin has cast the die at last, about faced his army and Is inarching resolutely against the one my as If resolved to do or die. According to unofficial reports, Field Marshal Oyama at the first sign of General Kuropatkin taking the often ilve began drawing in his line and concentrating upon fortified positions north of Liao Yang. According to the latest reports the Japanese outposts are being driven In all along the line. The strategy of the forward move ment will be concealed, as were the preparations for the advance, so that all surmises as to where General Kur opatkin Intends to strike are mere guess work. It it not clear whether General Kuropatkin contemplates a blow on the left, center or right of the Japanese army, but the fact that stress Is laid upon the capture of Beutiaputse, which opens the road and fords to Bensihu, 20 miles east of Liao Yang, where General Kurokl crossed, and that Cossacks are already report ed In the neighborhood of the stream might foreshadow an exact reversal of the battle of Liao Yang, this time the Russian commander flanking and turning Liao Yang with his left as Field Marshal Oyama did with his right. Little light has been thrown upon the considerations which led General Kuropatkin suddenly to assume the offensive; but no word is heard at the war office intimating that the course savors of rashness. Officers of the general staff, whila not under-estimat ing the heavy task and severe sacri fices that are Involved In assuming the offensive, nevertheless express abso lute confidence that General Kuropat kin has found a weak point In the Jap anese armor. Different explanations abound as to the reason for making the forward movement nt this time. The advance is attributed to a realization by Gen eral Kuropatkin of the difficulty the Japanese have encountered in making good their losses at Liao Yang and re plenishing their supplies and ammuni tion, or possibly to the drawing off of a portion of the Japanese troops to re inforce General Nogi In a desperate effort to end the siege of Port Arthur. Whatever the explanation, It Is ap parent from the hasty manner In which the Japanese withdrew before the first show of Russian Btrength that their recent ostentatiouR prepara tions for an advsnee were largely bluff. The best opinion here Is that the Impending battle Is likely to de velop with startling rapidity. It Is reported that the Japanese have abandoned Slanchnn, Salmatszo and Mslchoulln, positions east of Liao Yang. In political circles considerable stress Is lnld upon the moral aid of the Chinese that may be expected from General Kuropntkln's advancing without being compelled to abandon the sacred city of Mukden, It being remembered that the Japanese failed to reach the city of Imperial tombs during the Chlno-Japnnese war.
