QUESTION OF CoNTRAB4ND.
Russia Meets the British and American
 Demands.

London, Nov. 3.--Further corres- pondence regarding the question of contrabrand of war has been issued in the form of letter from Foreign Minister Lansdowne, dated November 2. Dealing with the present position of the subject, Lord LansdoWne says !:
 The Russian government met all the representations of his majestys goy- ernment, and the Uinted States, in d conciliatory spirit, and 1t Is understood that Russian naval commanders have been recently furnishtd with supple mentary instructions, which his majes- tvs government has every reason to believe will be interpreted in a liberal spirit and result in their exercising their belligerent rights for the future in less rigorous and vexatious man. net.
 Lord LansdoWne adds that so far as the government has been able to as- certain after careful inquiry, there is no satisfactory evidence in support of the frequent assertion that more fa- vored treatment was extended by the Russian authorities to German vessels than was accorded to British shippers, though German firms have benefited owing to the unWillingness of British owners to carry on trade with Japan under the existing uncertainty as to previous declaration regarding contra
 brand. Lord Lansdowne refers to, the sinking of the Knight Commander, and the condemnation of the cargoes of other vessels, and says these are forming the subject of an appeal to the supreme admiralty court at St. Peters burg and that both his majesty's gov ernment and that of the United States "has every reason to hope that the findings will be reversed. !

Ab-t A1HSpF~'
 Washington. Nov. s.-That abiding good fortune which has always watch ed oyer Theodore Roosevelt came to his aid in a remarkable way a. week ago last Sunday morning.
 Hurled headlong from his saddle by the sudden stumbling of his horse. only sheer good luck. backed by a physique of iron. saved him from severe injur- les and even death. As it was, his forehead was badly bruised on a stone, but he suffered no permanent i'll effects.
 Outside of a limited number in Washington no one knew just how close the American people came to be- ing deprived of a president. The facts have been carefully kept from the pub lie, and every effort has been made to smother the story.
 The president was riding in Rock Creek park, one of his favorite haunts on the outskirts of the city. It was early in the morning and the weather was cool and bracing. just the sort a good horseman would choose for a gallop. The president was dashing along at a brisk pace when, without the slightest warning, his horse stum- bled on a rotten plank near the edge of a small bridge, and pitched forward.

 Macon, Ga, Nov. S.-Thomas E. Wat son, populist candidate for president, in speaking here to-day, said:
 The democratic party stole my plat form and principles during two cam paignss under the leadership of the bril- liant Bryan. Now the Bryan of to-day has swallowed the Bryan of yesterday. He has completely reversed himself and is riding in special car, contending for things that he formerly denounced.
 What would you think of Baptist who would reply when asked as to what he believed, T can't tell you until after the next association meets2' That is exactly what Parker did, in a political sense"
 Referring to the accusations that he was in the pay of the republican party, MT. Watson said: How do I meet the expenses of my campaign? Because I am rich enough to do it, and you all know It. I made it in the court house and with my pen. The battle will not end on November 8. shall combine with all those who are striving. like me, to build up party If Jeffersonian, and not Hamiltonian, principles. You had just as well throw your vote away on me as on Parker, for if you cast your vote for him it will be surely thrown away. If the democrats had nominated Hearst it would have taken sixty mil- lion dollars to defeat him. instead of the ten million it will take to defeat Parker"

 GREAT RALLY.

Greeted by several Thousand People on

 Crowd-spends Night in Capital and
 VIII Return to New York To-day.
 Hartford, Nov s.-Four enthusiastic audiences greeted Judge Parker to-day on his only visit to the state in the campaign, and in several other places through which his special train passed he was given rousing impromptu well comes. The democratic candidate left New York during the forenoon and speed was slackened at Stamford and South Norwalk before the special train reached Bridgeport, where the first stop
 was made.
 The principal speech of the trip was in this city tonight. though other re- lceptions were held in Bridgeport, New Haven and at Meriden. where an ad- dress was made from the rear end of the train. This speech dealt with the question of trusts and was far more Isensational than alfy of the set speech es. It attempted to refute the charge that the Standard oil company is the financial sponsor of the democratic par lty. and charged that the company ifl- terests are with the republican party. The meeting in this city was one of Ithe greatest of the campaign in this state. Judge Parker was given a warm welcome from the moment he reached lthe city at D. m. When the special train bearing the judge and his party, lthe candidates for governor and lieu tenant governor and special commit ltee of prominent state democrats ar rived at the Union station several thou lsand persons were gathered to greet Ithe candidate. He was driven through 1.-the crowds to the Hartford club, where the town committee were the hosts at dinner.
 < The meeting was held in the opera house, which was filled long before 8 o'clock, the hour set to call the meeting Ito order. All entrances were blocked by the time the candidate was driven to @the opera house, and admittance was leffected with the greatest difficulty. l Local Connecticut issues furnished [the first subjects of discussion by the candidate, after which he took up a number of issues that have formed the topics of other addresses. One new Isubject taken up was the development Iof American shipping. 6filitarism, tar Tiff, the trusts and other issues were discussed in order, and, whatever the subject considered, the candidate evok- led enthusiastic applause.
 Judge Parker held informal recep- itions after each of his meetings, and lshook hands during the day and even- ling with several thousand people. He remained over night in Hartford as the guest of J. Howard Morse, democratic candidate for congress in the First IConnecticut district. He will start on This return trip to New York at o'clock lto-morrow morning on his special train lover the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad.

LOSS or BAT1LESHIP YosHiMA
French Advices connrmed--serious
 Blow to Japanese Fleet.

French Advices Confirmed--Serfous
 Blow to Japanese Fleet.
 Paris, Nov. 3.-The Associated Press was put in a position to-day to state positively that it's dispatches from Che foo, Port Arthur and Tokio last June Ito the effect that the Japanese battle ship Yoshima had been sunk by mine Eoff Dalny, which dispatches were de- nied by the Japanese authorities at the time, have finally been officially con- tirmed. The Japanese government has notified foreign governments of the loss of the ship. The official details show that the Yoshima struck Russian mine land later attempted to make Dalny harbor, but thls proved impossible and she sank in deep water.
 The loss of the Yoshima is important since it is now disclosed that Japan has lonly four modern battleships remain- ing. Naval experts say that the small
 battleship force possessed Admiral
 Togo was responsible for the tactics he l observed at the naval battle of August no, when Admiral Withoft attempted l to escape from Port Arthur, the Japan tese battleships refusing to come to close quarters with the enemy.
 The Yoshina was one of the finest 1 lbattleships of the Japanase navy. Her
 displacement was 12.SOO tons and she Ihad a speed of nineteen knots.
 The Russian squadron at Port Arthur includes five modern battleships, more for less damaged, and the second Pacific squadron, now en route from the Baltic I to the Far East, also numbers five bat
 tleships. In view of the inferiority of the Japanese in battleships, their ar- mored cruiser strength is important, they being greatly superior to the Rus
 sians in this respect.

STUDENTS JOLLY FREEDMAN.
Socialist Orator Has Rougl, Experience
 at Green speechmaking.

A number of Yale students gave
 "soi'' Fieldman, the socialist orator,
 a merry reception when he spoke at the
 Chapel and College street corner of
 the green last evening in behalf of
 socialism. His audience consisted all
 most entirely of students, who had as-
 sembled to 'jolly'' the speaker, and
 they 'tjollied' him from beginning to end. At the close of the meeting q
 miniature rush occurred MT, Field
 man announced that he would distrib- ute socialist pamphlets to all who wished to take them. Thereupon the students made a rush upon him which swept him from the chair upon which he was standing and back against a tree where he madea stand.
 Fieldman kept his temper well and paid little attention to the .'jollying' outside of making bitingly caustic re- marks.

LIBERALs sWEEP NorA scorIA
Win Greatest victory Ever Achieved
in Canadian Politics.

Halifax, N. S, Nov. s-The liberals swept Nova Scotia in to-day's election from Cape Breton to Cape Sable, and won the greatest victory ever achieved in the history of Canadian politics. They not only defeated Robert L. Bor- den, of Halifax, leader of the conserv- ative forces in Canada, but they elect ed every one of the other seventeen candidates of the party in the province. The clean sweep was more of surprise than the defeat of MT. Borden, as Hali- fax county had generally been close in all contests, but no one expected that the liberal candidates would be suc- lcessful in every constituency. The vote in the city was as follows: Roche Qib- crab, 4,051; Carney Qiberall. S.9SS; Bor- den (conseryative), s,799; o'Mullin (con- seryative), 3.620.
