THE DUTIES OF OFFICE TOO MUCH Routine Drudgery Helped to Undermine Weakened System. ' AsHrti'lated press Trtlegram to The Signal. Washington, V, C Oct. 5.Post-muster General Henry C. Payne died nt G:10 o'clock last evening, after ft period of unconsciousness lasting more than, four hours. For nearly a week tlio stricken man had fought vulluutly for every breath, hut t last his frail body, unable longer to wage the unequal contest, succumbed to the irresistible merciless reaper. To the burdens and responsibilities of his office may be attributed in a large measure Mr, Payne's last illness. There is no cabinet office which carries with it such a mass ot routine drudgery as the postmasler- vnHnniluln nn.l nwtnv n innn in the full vigor of health would hesitate to relinquish a lite of comparative ease In order to assume its arduous and exacting duties. There is deep, sincere sorrow In ''.-Washington today on account of Mr. Payne's death. Thepostmaster-general had endeared himself to all who knew him well by the kindliness of bis heart and the gentleness of his cbar-.icter. The late Senator Hiinna mud he were bosom friends for many years, and the Ohio statesman oft-times alluded to him as a most lovable '.man. Cortelyou Will Succeed. The vacancy in the cabinet caused by the postnt.tstcr-gonoral'8 death will not be filled, it Is understood, until aftor the election, -when Chairman George B. Cortelyou, of the Hopubll; can national committee, will be appointed to the position In the event of President KrHwevelt's.xifctlon. In he meantime Robert J. Wynne, the first assistant, will act as the head of the department. The last official caller to Inquire as to Mr; Payne's condition was President Roosevelt, and he had been gone only about 10 minutes when the stricken member of his cabinet expired.lAround Mr. Payne's bedside at the time of his death were his devoted wife, Rev. Dr. Dunlip, pastor of St. John's Episcopal church; Major and Mrs "W: 8. Cameron, ot Jamestown, Ni Y.r Mr-and Mrs. Wlnfield Cameron, of Milwaukee; Charles L. Jones, and Miss Iconise Jones,, relatives; Private Secretary Whitney, Misg Ma-Wo Barbiere, an old companion of Mrs Payne; Mr. and Mrs. W.

C. Payne, the postmaster-general." Assistant Secretary Horace A. Taylor, of the treasury department, who probably had as Intimate acquaintance with Mr. Payne as any man in Wash-iiiRton, said today: "I have known Mr. Payne for between thirty and forty years. Nearly all that time we have been closely associated socially and politically. His personalty was unusually i attractive, He drew men to him by his kind and geni'il ways.

The Russian outposts are as far south as the Shak be river, fifteen miles from Mukden.Field Marshal Oyama Is reported to be with the fourth army, which at one time was understood to have attained considerable proportions, it now seems to be a smaller affair, not much over brigade and apparently is not destined to play an important role.
