Friedrichsruhe, Germany (By Ca
ble). Frince Herbert Bismarck died
here at Io:IS o'clock Sunday morn
ing. The end was painless.
He leaves one sister, who is the
wife of Count von Bentzau. His
brother William died in 1901.
Prince Herbert leaves five children
twa girls and three boys. His brother
William had four children, all of
whom are living. Countess von Bent
zau has no children.
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.
Arango, a graduate of one of the
American technical schools, has been
appointed consulting engineer on the
staff of Chief Engineer Wallace in
the Panama Canal Construction. He
is particularly charged to assist in
building an aqueduct to supply the
city of Panama with water. It also
is proposed, in the interest of the
health of the employes, to lay pipe
lines to supply fresh and pure water
to the great force of laborers at the
Culebra Cut and other camps along
the line of work. Chief Engineer
Wallace has been making estimates
of the cost of the work he already has
done, with the result that he feels safe
in asserting that the cost of the canal
construction can be greatly reduced
below the French figures through the
employment of modern high grade
American machinery as a substitute
for manual labor.

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

BORBOSS OF PORT ARTHUR.
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). From his

HELD DP BY BANDITS
Make a Successful Raid Near An Iowa
Town.
PASSENGERS WERE NOT MOLESTED.
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). With
a view to a reduction in the expense of
maintaining a large military establish
ment in the Philippines, Lieutenant
General Chaffee, chief of staff, recent
ly cabled an inquiry to Major General
Wade, commandite, the Philippines

the present military force there from
four regiments of cavalry and nine of
infantry to three regiments of cavalry
and seven of infantry. General Chaf
fee has received a reply from General
Wade expressing lhs opinion that the
proposed reduction of military strength

ALL CRAZY IN 700 TEARS.
Chicago Scientist Says People ar Fast drew

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.

HIS TALE OF DEFEAT!
Gen. Kuropatkin's Account of Battle ofl
Liaoyang;.
JAPANESE DASH SMASHED PLANS.'
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. There has been
no rain the past two days, and it is
probable the country will now dry
up and leave two months of good
weather for the fall campaign.
Swept By Cyclone.
