LONDON, Oct. .'., 10:1(1 n. m. Russian reports indiente that the (Icr ninu offensive toward the Niemen river from the Hast Prussian fron tier has ended iu a (iennan rout after the battle, of Aitgustowo, under way since September-.). If these icports are true, it means that not only has General Henuckampff been given an opMirtunity to resume the offeiiMc but tlio important fortress of Osso wetz. has been relieved fnuu invest ment. An official statement from the commamlaut of the German fortress nt Koenigsberg", however, directly contradicts the Italian report and the Herlin version of the lighting', though it does not localize it iu; par ticularly as the Ilussinn report, niain tuiiw that the Germans along the Kast Prussian frontier have generally been victorious. As was expected, hiihseipient re ports have discredited the rumor that Ihe Russians were investing Cracow. It was hardly possible for the Mus covite forces to have reached there in Mich a short time, hut a report that Cossacks havo reached the neighborhood of Cracow is distinctly cnidihle, as the famous Russian eav2 airy is showing an ability to cover tin) same wide field of operations as tlio I'hlaiis in the western war arena.

LONDON, Oct. .'., 1 :1.- p. m. The fact that fighting is in progress in and around the town of Doiiai, mid way hew teen Arrn ami Valenciennes, on Ihe railroad to Mons, is taken in loiiilon to show how surely the allien in northern France have piixhcd the forward movement they hope will en velope General Von Kiuek, comman der of the German right wing-, in n net o steel. For the la-t week the Germans, so far as eun be iisi-erlained froai the few facts known in London, have been vainly hurling themselves against different iwjinU in the allied line in an effort to tli.-covcr a weak ine-h iu the net. At the present, time, in the view of General Joffre, com-maiider-iu-chiff of the French force, the process of attrition has gone far enough to justify the resumption of oftciisno movements on the part of the allies, as is announced in the lat est communication from French headquarters.

WASHINGTON, Oct. .',. Outlining tlio legislative program for the re mainder of the session of congress, President Wilson told callero today that no extra session iu November was contemplated. He added that only some extraordinary emergency would necessitate an extra session following adjournment of the short session iu March. The president said the war tax bill, the Clayton anli-trust bill and tlio Alaska coal leasing hill would com plete the important work for the present session. October 1.7 is tlio date tentatively agreed on. Asked about threats bv Represen tative Henry of Texas to fight against an adjournment until cotton relief measures were passed, the president said that the membership of the house, rather than Mr. Henry, would decide when to adjourn. For the next session the program as outlined by the president will in clude the Alexander ship purchase bill, the Philippine bill, the genet ul leasing bill, the general land bill, the general dam bill ami the usual ap propriation bills. Regarding the presidential primary bill, which he favors, the president said today that he had held several conferences on the subject mid had found them would be great complex ity in framing the details iu order not to conflict with stnte election laws. He said it would he difficult to com plete the legislation this congress, but that he was still at work on the sub. jeer. The president said he did not think it necessary to act on the safety at sea convention during the present session.
