NOBLES FLY COUNTRY.
Stsmpede of Russian Rich to Refuge
In Free England.
London, Oct. 12. For some time
past statements have been made with
more or less authority to tho effect
that somo members of the Czar's fam
ily were making secret arrangements to
leave Russia, should certain eventuali
ties occur, and tako refuge in England.
These statements have been regarded
as part of the inevitable rumois to be
expected to arise from the state ol
affairs in the Muscovite dominions. In
vestigations by the Publishers' Press
correspondent, however, reveal circum
stances which point to their truth.
Large quantities of jewels, pictures
and furniture hhve arrived in this
country from the Imperial palaces in
Russia Just lately, and liavJ been
placed in eato storage. A leading
banker told the Publishers'g Press cor
respondent that consignments of prop
erty of enormous value had recently ar
rived there from Russia.
"We have received packets of jewels,
costly furniture and numbers of pic
tures, the value ot each of which runs
well into five figures;" he said. "The
owners sre very highly placed."
The question put point blank as to
whether they belonged to the Roman
offs, the reply was made that it was
against tho rules to give such informa
tion.
A confirmation of the assertion that
at least two of the grand dukes and
grand duchesses intend to give the ter
rorists a wide berth, and to find an
asylum in England, Is found in tho fact
that Inqiiirlcs for tho beet estates and
houses In the market are bolng made
among West End estato and house
agents by Russian gentlomon, who,
while asking for particulars ol tho most
valuable estates, refuse to glvo the
names of the people for whom they
are required.
OAR BLOCKADE IN THE EAST
Orders for Thousands Are Given
That Cannot Be Filled.
Chicago, Oct. 12. The congestion of
freight trafllo has Increased so fast
within the last few days that railway
officials fesr they are soon to be face to
I'cs with a blockade. Conditions on
the Eastern roads which have not only
to haadle the business which they orig
inate bat have the crops of the West
pouring in upon them for export, are
naturally the worst, but those on the
Western lines alio are rapidly becom
ing extremely serious.
With the approich of winter the
movement of coal has grown heavier,
aggravating the congested conditions
which already exist, and Uaulo men
say they do not know what they will do
for cars when the year's enormous crop
of corn is ready for market, aa it (wlll
be now in a short time.
A line belonging to one of the big
Eastern railway systems had orders for
4,235 cm which it could not fill. The
Pennsylvania proposes to give notlua
that for 30 hours It will receive no
consignments from the Pittsburg dis
trict, the object being to get the tracks
partly clear of cars which have accu
mulated on its lines.
BUFFALO PLAGUED WITH SNOW.
Tears Down Wires, Wrecks Orcharda
and Kills Two Men.
Buffalo, Oct. 12. The storm of snow
and sleot which swept over this part of
the ciuntry last night and today was
the worst in many years.
Telegraph, telephone and trolley lines
were prostrated in all directions, Thtt
damage to the rich fruit belts of Chau
tauqua, Niagara and Orleans countien
is ituislc liable. Whole oicbards ol
perch trees and other email fruits were
crushed to the ground by the wet
clinging snow, which fell steadily for
many hours.
Tonight the weather Is dear and
cild, and the lines of communication
are being slowly re-established,
Buffalo bore the brunt of the storm.
The damage in this city alone is not (ar
from a quarter of a million dollars, and
two deaths occurred, which were direct
ly due to the effects of the storm. All
night the telephone and electric light
systems were paralyzed. The streets
were littered with broken wires.
Indians Out On a Big Hunt.
New Westminster, B. 0 Oct. 12.
The Stony Indiana of Alberta have
again broken' loose, and are now on a
wild game drive along the west line of
tbe Rocky mountains. The game au
thorities have taken steps to have them
pursued and driven out of the country,
nd a posse has been rent out. These
Indians have always given the British
Columbia game authorities trouble, as
every fall they come into tbe province
through the various passes and hunt
for several months at tbe west foothills
of tbe Rockies.
Twe Mors Transports Sail.
Newport News, Vs., Oct. 12. The
trausport Admiral Schley sailed from

BELL IN COMMAND
Fofiston Will Return to United
States .With Secretary Tatt.
COMMAND WAS ONLY TEMPORARY
One Faction of Cuban's Declared Fun
ston Deserted Them In War
Against Spaniards.
Havana, Oct. 11. Geneial Frederick
Funston will not continue in command
of the American forces in Cuba. Gov
ernor Taft announced tonight that he
and General Funston will leave Havana
for the United States on Saturday on
the battleship Louisiana. With them
will go Assistant Secretary of State ba
con, and the affairs of Cuba will be left
in the bands of Governor Magoon and
General J. F. Bell. Explaining the
change of plans, Mr. Taft said:
"General Funston was summoned on
a hurry call from the Pacific coast be
cause he was well acquainted with
many of the Insurgent chiefs here, and
it was thought he could aid us, as he
did greatly, in bringing the men in
arms to an agreement. General Funs
ton was put temporarily in command of
the troops in Cuba merely as a conven
ience until General Bell should arrive.
Genoral Funston, Mr. Bacon and my
solf, with Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Bacon
and our secretaries, are returning to
our permanent duties."
Tatt's especial confidence in the' chief
of the general staff's ability to carry
out the program the governor has ini
tiated resulted In the decision to con
tinue blm in the island.
Many Cubans ot the faotlon to which
Mendei Capote and others who organ
lied the Moderate party belong, were
ouUkpoken against General Funston,
alleging that he bad deserted them In
the war to throw off the yoe of Spain.
tJMUQQLE CHINESE.
Fishing Schooner On New England
Coast Lands Orientals.
Providence, R. I., Oct. 11. Eighteen
Chinese were arrested today after the
capture by tbe United States immigra
tion authorities of the schooner yacht
Frollci for which revenue officers have
been searching along the New England
coast for tbe past two weeks, were held
tonight by United States Commissioner
Cross in 1 1.000 ball each lor examina
tion next Wednesday. All the men
declared they had been in the United
States before, but that their certificates
had been lost, some In New York and
others in the fire at San Francisco,
This declaration contradicted a state
ment alleged to have been made by
John 0. Lohnemann, of iioston, one ol
the men arrested for complicity in the
smuggling operations, who says the
traffic has been extensive and effective,
BLOW TO DEMOCRATIC PART.Y.
Had
Planned Qreat Send-Off British
Envoy Worried.
St. Petersburg, bet. 11. What Is
described here tonight as the "Ignomini
ous ficzle" of the much heralded visit
to Moscow and St. Petersburg of a Brit
ish deputation to present a memorial
of sympathy to the dissolved parlia
ment is another blow to the Constitu
tional Democrats, who were arranging
a reception to tho deputation as a brll
liant send-off in the campaign.
This proposed visit was extremely
embarrassing to the British Htnnasea
dor, Sir Arthur Nicholson, in view of
the negotiations for an entente between
Russia and Great Britain. Pressure
was brought to bear in London to stop
tbe movement, and it was decided not
to receive the deputation officially at
the empassy her. This device is
thought to have inspired the interview
given out hy the British consul at Mos
cow, who declared that the members of
the deputation were not known, and
that tbe proposed visit was In bad taste.

Helslngfors, Oct. 11. At today's

BID TO DIQ CANAL.
Commission Invites Proposals to Com
plete Work on Isthmus.
Washington, Oct. 10. Invitations
for propossls to complete the Panama -canal
were issued today by the ranal
commission aud the form of contract
under which the work Is to be done
was made public by Chairman Shonts,
who also gave out a letter written to
the secretary of war giving the com
mission's reasons (jr contracting the
wotk.
The contract provides that each bid
der must undertake the entire work of
construction. No bar will be offered
to corporations associating in the un
dertaking, but the? must bo legally
organized into a single body with which
the government can deal. Bidders will
not be considered who do not have
available capital ol o,000,000. A
certified check for f 200,000 in required
with each proposal mil a bond of 13,
000,000 will be required from the suc
cessful bidder. The bidding Is not
limited to American contractors. All
proposals are to be in before noon of
Dicembtr 12, when they will be open

of percentage upon the estimated coat
of construction, which is to be fixed by
a board of five engineers, three repre
senting tbe government and two the
contractor. The chief engineer of the
canal commission la to be chairman of
the engineering hoard.
In support of the commission's posi
tion that the canal can be contracted to
greater advantage than it cxn be built
y tbe government, Mr Shonts' lter
says that, "because ol the unprecedent
ed and greatly extended industrial ac
tivity of the time and the consequent
violent competition for all classes of
superintendents, foremen, sub contrac
tors, skilled mechanics and even nidi
narv laborers, it would take the corn
mission years to secure men to build
up departmental construction organisa
tions which would equal in efficiency
those now controlled by the luudiug
contractors of the United Statee."
