The Post today reports that in consequence of a Russian communication, the British and French governments have made a strong representation to China against permitting General Ma's troops to enter Manchuria. General Ma has 50,000 equipped soldiers on the Manchurian frontier. It has been suggested that as the Russians retreated he would move into the territory, not necessarily in support of the Japanese, but to retake Manchuria for China. Such action would result in serious international complications.

Vermont yesterday elected a Governor and other state officers, two Members of Congress, thirty state Senators and one Representative from each city and town. As was expected, the Republicans were generally victorious, electing their entire ticket and maintaining control of the Legislature by the usual large majority.

The day passed without special incident. The state officers elected are: Governor, Charles J. Bell; Lieutenant Governor, Charles H. Stearns; Treasurer, John L. Bacon Secretary of State, Frederick G.

Fleetwood; Auditor of Accounts, Horace A. Graham. David J. Foster of Burlington was elected to Congress from the First district and Kittredge Haskins of Brattleboro from the Second district. The complexion of the Legislature is practically unchanged.

This indicates that Senator Proctor will be reelected. The campaign was hard fought by both of the leading parties, the Democrats bending their efforts to a reduction of the Republican majority. Returns received indicate that the Republicans elected the head of their ticket by a plurality equal to or greater than 1900.

Omaha Butcher Workmen Vote to Call MANY ALARMING RUMORS. St. Petersburg, Sept. 7 Not a single word has come from General Kuropatkin in the past thirty-six hours. The war office has confidence that the Russian commander will succeed in eluding the Japanese army, but there is still a possibility that General Kuroki has won in the race to the Hun river.

A report is expected today from Kuropatkin. There is np, telling what his report will contain. The delay in receiving a report is believed by the war office to be due to the plan to transfer the telegraph station to Mukden. The messages from the front have to be sent by courier. There is a feeling of anxiety through out the whole natiorrr however, and this feeling is shared by the emperor.

His majesty is unwilling at such a juncture to absent himself from Peter-hof and has countermanded all proposed journeys. He will not go to Warsaw or Libau and remains closeted for hours with his military advisers. It is believed that the outcome of these deliberations will be an order to mobilize severaf more army corps. Late last night the following statement came from the war office: "No telegrams whatever were received from General Kuropatkin today (Tuesday.) It is inferred that the only Russian remaining at Yentai September 6 are the rear guard, whose mission is solely to retard the enemy's movement. SEEKS A REVERSAL Wm.

G. McCoy Appeals Murder Case to Supreme Court. Attorneys for Wm. G. McCoy, recently convicted of murder in the first degree in the district court of Elk county, this morning appealed the case to the Supreme court.

The crime with which McCoy is charged is the murder of his wife, whom he killed at the home of her mother near Longton last April. McCoy is but 21 years of age and his wife was but 17 at the time of her death. They had been married but a short time. It was a runaway match and the young couple were in Kansas City for some time after their marriage. Mrs.

McCoy's father became seriously ill and she returned to Longton, remaining there until after his death. McCoy later joined her and the couple lived with Mrs. Palmer, Mrs. McCoy's mother, until the murder. McCoy and his wife had considerable trouble and at one time talked of a separation.

Under the terms of her father's will, Mrs. McCoy inherited $10,000 but was not to receive the money until she reached her twenty-fifth birthday. Her husband was dissatisfied at the disposition his father-in-law made of his property and this is assigned as one of the reasons for the crime. The killing occurred at the Palmer home, McCoy shooting his wife in their bedroom. At the trial he was convicted of murder in the first degree and received a "hang" sentence.

He plead insanity as a Strike Off. Omaha, Sept. 7. The official fig don for the railroad. The railroad has held out longer than the experts believed It would when the war began, but they are now declaring that much of the trouble properly to to equip, clothe and provision the Rus-.

The butcher workmen, ac cording to reports, want to return. The mechanical craftsmen adjourned their meeting last night without action. Cuba due to the absence of transpor tation, say that sooner or later the Russian weakness in this respect will prove a serious matter.

An accident' that might have resulted seriously occurred on the loop of the Vinewood line this morning. A work car and a freight car heavily loaded with stone became unmanageable and started down the steep grade from the quarry which is connected with the loop by a spur. A big Vine-! wood car was rounding the loop when the runaway started and attempted to beat it to the clear but failed on account-of the trolley coming off the wire. The two cars came together on a curve demolishing the freight car and one side of the passenger.

All of the passengers had got off at the park depot and the motorman was on the side of the car that was uninjured so no one was hurt. A similar accident happened about a year ago on account of poor brakes. have been by the series of fierce struggles its picked army has been in the last week.

Susie deposited $3 for the costs of It may be, however, wholly other Chairman Phillips of the Republican county central committee was kept busy this morning opening letters from men out over the county who wrote to accept the invitation of the central committee to attend the big opening rally in the auditorium at Topeka next Saturday night. From every indication the meeting will be a record breaker in point of attendance. Plans are being laid for an overflow meeting on Quincy street in front of the auditorium.

The chief attraction at the rally Saturday night will be E. W. Hoch, Republican candidate for governor. His address at Marion was the means of Introducing him as one of the best talkers in the west to thousands of people oyer the state. Not only the Republicans, but many of the Democrats and many women of Shawnee county are intending to get out and hear him Saturday night.

Mr. Hoch is very busy at present, lie is speaking somewhere in the state nearly every day. But he assured Chairman Phillips in a letter received by the latter this morning that he would be here Saturday night. The other speaker of the evening will be Congressman Charles Curtis. James Gibbons of the Second ward has been chosen chairman of the meeting.

An invitation to attend the rally has been sent out by the committee to every political and civil organization in the county. The township committees answered with the word that they would send large delegations. The meeting has been well advertised. This morning Temporary Secretary Van Sant was out with a bunch of boys posting bills over the city. The Republican Flambeau club will take part in the rally.

They will leave the headquarters at the old court house at a few minutes before 8 o'clock and march to the auditorium carrying torches. Marshall's band will' accompany them and will play at the auditorium. At the Saturday night rally, an invitation is given to all veterans of the civil war and all first voters to occupy seats on the platform with the speakers. Chairman Phillips is making a roster of all men in the county who voted the first Republican ticket, for Fremont for President in 185C. He already has a number of the old guard Republicans and wants the names of all of them.

He would be pleased if all who cast a vote for Fremont would communicated with him. Active campaign work throughout the county will not be begun by the Republicans until October 1. At that time the work will start with a flourish and be continued until election day. School house meetings will be held throughout the county and the candidates and party spell binders will be set to work. The county Democratic campaign seems to have lapsed into the land of dreams.

Undaunted by his failure to dislodge the Brown army from Thoroughfare Gap, General Grant resumed the offensive this morning with renewed vigor, after the expiration of the truce declared by the umpires. Under the rules of the game, General Bell will not profit today by the damage constructively inflicted on the Blues yesterday. General Grant is supposed to have been reinforced during the night. Brigadier General Witt, who was killed yesterday, was very much alive this morning and is apparently free from a scratch.

Experts believe General Bell had the best of the engagement this morning when the battle was resumed. KUROPATKIN FLEEING with the establishment of the eastern boundary between Panama and Colom "It is quite consistent from the position of affairs to suppose that a portion of the Japanese forces entered Yentai, there being no intention to hold this point as it is of no intrinsic importance. The stores there have already been removed and whatever was not removed was burned. "The transfer of the telegraph office to Mukden has caused delay in the direct transmission of messages." A Russian correspondent sent a message from Mukden Tuesday evening, more than twenty-four hours after the dispatch of General Kuropat-kin's last published message. This correspondent gives no details of the retreat and the censor is probably not allowed to authorize the transmission of this news until the commander-in-chief sends his report.

The correspondent points out in his dispatch that the Russian forces are followed step by step by the Japanese and are greatly impeded by heavy roads and floods. He adds: "It is impossible to say how long the fighting will continue, as the initiative is in the hands of the Japanese." The correspondent does not conceal the fact that the Russians are undergoing a severe ordeal but he says that the courage of the troops remains undiminished. St. Petersburg is full of the wildest rumors, some claiming that Kuropat-kin's rear guard has been annihilated; that Kuropatkin has been taken prisoner and that Port Arthur has fallen. These alarmist reports were circulated on the bourse and at one time threaten to cause a panic.

The investing army will be brought up to 100,000 men, then, regardless of cost, the fortress will be taken.

By the time the present movement against General Kuropatkin has been concluded his army will be a negligible quantity for this campaign, if it is not destroyed absolutely, and there is still strong hope that this latter will be the end.
