M'CLELLAN IS VINDICATED Regulars and Volunteers Play Part of Northern and Southern Ar mies on Salisbury Plain. Volunteers' Good Work. LONDON, Aug. 9. The battle of Antle- tam, "without ita mistakes, was re fought today on the banks of- the Avon as part of the maneuvers of the British army, and was won by sheer force of numbers by the side representing the Northern army. No larger force ever assembled on Sails. bury Plain than appeared today for this eham battle. The umpire was Lieutenant- General Ian Hamilton, and among those present were Minister of War Haldane and John Burns, president of the Local Government Board. Thirty-five thousand troops, composed of regulars and volun teers, were engaged. Major-General Franklin commanded the Northern army, and Brigadier-General Allenby the Southern army. General Franklin's forces outnumbered those un der Geenral Allenby by two to one.. The operations lasted four hours. General Hamilton, In delivering the ver dict, eaid that to some extent the opera tions whitewashed the memory of General McClellan. He especially commended the work of the volunteers. Mr. Burns and Minister Haldane showed the greatest interest In the work of the volunteers, in view of the fact that the Minister of War's proposals for army re form confine the territorial defense of the United Kingdom to volunteer forces. Salisbury Plain lends itself admirably to the experiment, as the Potomac and Antletam Creek and hills are all repro duced on a minor scale. The tactical les sons of Lee and McClellan, the forcing of the bridges and other details, were all tried under modern conditions.

The War Office has issued the report of the Royal Commis--elon which was appointed to investigate the South African War stories scandals. While the report acquits the British com missary officials concerned from the worst charges of corruption, it finds that the losses, equaling about $5,000,000, were due rather to grave mismanagement and in competence than to fraud.

FAVOR PEACEFUL METHOD Octoberlsts and Democrats to Unite Against Radicals and Revolution ists Czar Encouraged by the Calm After Storm. ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 9. Since the failure of the negotiations between Premier Stolypin and the Octoberists and the rounding out of the Cabinet with bureaucratic elements, negotia tions have been opened between the Octoberists and the Constitutional Democrats in an effort to unite the peaceful, progressive elements in the coming electoral campaign. Confer ences are now in progress at Moscow. Alexander J. Guchkoff, Count Hey den and other leaders of the party of peaceful regeneration and prominent moderate Constitutional Democrats are looking to an alliance whose aim sitali be to make the coming Parliament an organ of constructive legislation in stead of revolutionary agitation An arrangement for the division of steals between the two parties also Is con templated.

CZAR MAY GO YACHTING AGAIN Calm Following Mutiny Made Ex cuse for Round of Banquets. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 9. In view of the Improvement in the situation a num. ber of the Guard regiments have already returned to their Summer camps at Tsar-akoo-Selo. The Emperor has arranged to go there Saturday and spend five days. These imperial visits to the Guards camp are gala occasions, and are always marked by festivities, theatricals, ban queting and toasting among the va rious regiments. The Empress' yacht Alexandria, which has been under repairs for two years, steamed to Peter- hot last night, leading to the belief that the imperial family will soon make its proposed visit to Finnish waters. The court is greatly relieved by the prospect of a period of calm, which will give the government an opportunity to inaugurate its programme. The Rossia today says it is the intention- of the government to fight a counter revo. lution with the same energy it has been waging war against the "enemies of so ciety," and expresses the hope that mod. erate public opinion equally hostile to both extremes will grow rapidly. The Novo Vremya, taking as its text the failure to employ summary executions as deterrent to mutinies, complains that for years it has been felt that the govern. ment has not understood how to employ firmness. Instead of the "iron hand in the velvet glove." there has been a "putty hand clothed In an Iron glove," whicn ir ritates everything it touches without hav ing any power behind it. The Bourse Gazette makes the startling charge that much of the revolutionary agitation conduoted among the sailors at Cronstadt was through university girl stu dents who frequented public houses pa tronized by the sailors, in order to bring them under their influence.

Before he left Sevastopol the Ad miral Intimated that be considered the condemnation of the mutineers pre-arranged and unjust, and said he thought the officers had been more to blame than the sailors. There is more than a suspicion that the "seizure by revolutionists" of the papers in the -cases was staged by Admiral Skrydloff himself. On the recommendation of the Admiral, Minister of Marine Blreleff, Instead of confirming the sentence, has ordered a complete rehearing of the cases, at the end of two months: ATTEMPT TO MURDER ANNIKIN Reactionists Attack Peasant Leader, but Rescuers Come Up.
