JUDGE PARKER'S CALLERS.
Labor Man and Democratic Con-
Gressmen visited Him.

Esopus, N. Y, Sept. 1.-The most
interesting feature of the day at Rose
mount was the visit of John N. Bo-
CART, one of the New York state or
ganizers of the American Federation
of Labor. The rumor reached Esopus
in advance of Mr.. Bogart's coming
that he was to discuss the attack of
organized labor in New York upon
Senator McCarren as chairman of the
Democratic State Executive Commit
tee. Nothing was obtainable to con-
firm this 'rumor. and there is the best
possible reason to believe tonight that
the McCarren question was not even
mentioned by Judge Parker or Mr.. Bo-
CART.
Mr.. Bogart expressed the opinion
that so far as organized labor was
concerned the difficulty between Sena-
tor McCarren and Charles f. Muir
ply, leader of Tammany Hall, would
be patched up"
Two representatives in Congress
were among the callers to-day at Rose
mount. One was James L. Slayden of
Texas, who said afterward:
Judge Parker strikes me as the
highest type of American gentleman,
by which l mean a first grade farmer,
what we in the South call a high
class planter"
Representative Slayden said he
would make several speeches during
the campaign.
TIE other congressman was Swager
Shirley of Kentucky
Kentucky is not debatable ground"
he said. 1--WE shall return ten Demo-
cratic congressman out of eleven as
at present. 1 shall make a number of
speeches for The national ticket With
John Sharp Williams. / shall open the
campaign in my Louisville district in
about a fortnight"
Among other visitors to-day was
Col. P. M Pearsall of Raleigh. N. c.,
private Secretary to Gov. Aycock, and
member of the Democratic State
Executive committee of North Caro-
lima.

SAYS RUSSIANS WON
IN WEDNESDAYS FIGHT.
SnkharOff Reports That They Were
Everywhere Successful.

St Petersburg, Sept. 1.-Gen. Sakha-
rolf, in dispatch to the General Staff,
dated to-day, on yesterdays fighting
says:
"A portion of Gen. Kuroki's force
has crossed to the right bank of the
Taitse river and Sakankankwantun. A
division of infantry, with cavalry and
artillery, crossed first and covered the
advance of another detachment. After
fording the river the Japanese ad-
Vanced towards LiaoYang in two bod
les, one due west and the other the
other way of Yontai mines.
There was fighting between the two
armies all day long, and especially be-
tween O'clock and midnight, after
which the fire slackened AS on the
precious day, the fighting ending
with complete success for us. The
Russians maintained all their posi-
lions, Gen. Kondratenkos detachment
specially distinguished itself. Dur
ing the last four hours of the day they
fired an immense number of projec-
seached by the Japanese shrapnel.
THE Russians maintained stub
born defense the whole day. Our
troops all day long were exposed to a
hail of shrapnel, but defended the po-
sitions entrusted to them with desper-
ate bravery. After preparing for the
assault with artillery, the Japanese
repeatedly attacked our positions.
Some of our advanced fortifcations
passed into their hands after a stub
born defense. They We're, however
each time recaptured 'by US at the
point of tthe bayonet.
THE Japanese left number of dead.
After each bayonet engagement our
troops found time to dig pits in the
fields of Chinese corn in front of some
of our positions. These in some cases
were completely filled with Japanese
corpses. The enemy's losses must
have been enormous. Ours have not
yet been even approximately comput-
ed, but they are also large.
"a considerable number of Japanese
arms fell into our hands.
THE night passed quietly. Up to a
o'clock this morning there has been no
movement on either side.
Gen. Kuroki is constructing a pom
toon bridge at ford crossing the
Taitse river"
