Democrats Hope to Control The Next
House.
New York, Oct. 31.-Both Democrats
and Republicans agree that New York
is not only the pivotal state in the ma,
tional contest, but that it will deter.
mine the political control OF the fifty.
ninth congress. While much impor.
tance attaches to the result of con.
gTessional contests in other states,
it is the opinion of the leader that il
the Democrats can secure any gains
in this state the chances are favorable
to the control of the lower house by
the Democrats.
To secure the control of the lower
house the Democrats must carry IS
districts more than they now command
and that is what they are trying to
do. The most important battles for
congress districts after New York are
in the states of New Jersey, Connecti
cut, Ohio, Wisconsin, Rhode Island
Delaware, West Virginia, Maryland
and Indiana.

In Third Attempt to Capture the Rus

Heavy Forces Against the Fortress.
End of Siege Still In Doubt.
Che Foo, Oct 31.-The general as.
sault on Port Arthur which began in

into f1ercely raging battle yesterday,
when, according to hitherto infalli-
BILE authority, the Japanese flung heavy
forces against the fortress in their
third attempt to secure a command
Ing position.
The result of yesterdays fighting is
unknown
The Japanese have been preparing
for this assault for a month. 1t is
believed that the Japanese did not ex-
pect to capture the town on this occa-
sion but to accomplish another for
ward step. This plan was adopted
following the first assault when thou
sands of lives were sacrificed in an at
tempt to swarm over the Notifications
by mere force of numbers regardless
OF loss.
This assault, like the previous one,
was climatic incident of weary weeks
of trench digging, gun mounting and
small engagements. In the opinion
of experts the assault will cease when
tho Japanese have secured such posi-
tions as VIII enable them to creep
steadily closer under the noses of the
Russian guns.
1t Is believed that two more gener-
oil assaults will be necessary before the
distance between the belligerent lines
is sufficiently shortened to make an
attempt to enter the main forts and
make the end of the siege practicable.

INTEREST REVIVED.
Case Of Nan Patterson, Actress, Who
Is Now In Prison.


Is Now In Prison.
New York, Oct 31-Interest has
been revived in the case of Nan Pat
terson, the actress, who has been in
prison several months awaiting trial
on charges Of fatally shooting Caesar
Young, well known turfman.
Two mysterious persons, asserted
to be among the first citizens of the
communities in which they reside, ara
reported to have come forward, accord.
ing to The Press, with written state
ments that they saw Young kill him
self while riding in a cab with tt Q
actress on his way to a pier where his
wife was awaiting his arrival to begin
voyage to Europe.
The genuiness Of the story is now
under investigation. Quite as remark.
able as the tragic end of Young is the
story now published. Hardly had
Young drawn his last breath than the
two witnesses. it is asserted, pledged
the other to secrecy and he himself
took VOW to reveal what he had
seen. This was done, 1t Is explained,
because the men did not want it known
that they were in New York at the
time Both men returned to their
homes the same day. At first the
pledge was easy to keep, but when
Miss Patterson was indicted con.
science began to press upon the mind
of one of the men that there was a
duty to the young woman that rose in
Importance far above consideration OF
self.
AS the weeks of her detention
heightened into months, the demands
of conscience became torture and
trouble as to the best way in which
to make known their story. One OF
the men wrote to q person of repute
in New York for advice. In thu
communication the statement is un.
equivocal that Young took his own
life
