within its ample wallsa free school
for Naval Surgeons. There are
some twenty-five pupils in attend
ance from different States, all of
whom have received the degree of
NJ d. from a medical college, but
who will remain here for six
months of hard study to fit them
selves for duty en- board war ships.
Lectures are given each day from

the navy for surgeons than there
are applicants. At this school the
men are taught the use of the COM

cling, and the broad sword. Soon
as a tank is provided swimming
will be added to the list of accom-

of it. By the first of next January
there will be some forty vacancies

A Former. idea Of Roosevelt.

David Rankin has the credit of being
the most extensive individual farmer
In the United States. He owns four
teen farms in Missouri which contain
about 22,OO0 acres of land in all. He
personally supervises the operations on
all, aided by resident foreman. In
summer he employs as many rs 700
hands in the field and uses from POO to
$50 horses for the various divisions of
farm work. He raises corn by thou
sand acre patches and in Il single year
has sold 5000 hogs and 1900 cattle Of
his own raising Mr. Rankin stands
six feet two without his boots on,
weighs $50 pounds and began life as a
poor boy. He resides at TarlliO, Mo,
in the vicinity of his farm property.
He writes to Leslie's Weekly:
like Roosevelt because he is Repub-
lican. 1 am a Republican farmer We
farmers are more interested in the tariff
than anybody else. The manufacturers
make our markets. Our only trouble un-
der Republican administration is to set

Eject OF Loose Talk of IndePend-

J washington dispatch to New York Trib-
unel
The president has received a letter
from General Luke e. Wright gov
ern0r of the Philippines, which is the
occasion OF some anxiety to those who
! have the best interests Of the islands
Mt heart, because 1t demonstrates that
once more Democratic partisanship is
having its effect in disturbing the
peaceful conditions in the archipelago
and retarding the work of the admin
istration In preparing the Filipinos for
the responsibilities of self government.
1t appears that the loose arguments
and almost thoughtless denunclations
of the more virulent Democratic spell
binders are being transmitted to the
Philippines, and are. as General
Wright relates, making more difficult
than would otherwise be the case the
task imposed on the American officials
in the Philippines. General Wright's
letter is, in part, as follows:
1.-The continued discussion as to the
capacity Of the Filipino for self gov
ernment and his immediate or ultimate
independence is having its effect here
and makes our task more difficult than
it would otherwise be. The less a man
is equipped with intelligence and those
Qualities which make for good citizen
ship the more easily can he be per
suaded that he is the pOssessor Of all
these qualities. This people have their
full share of ambition and vanity, and
they also have their full share of reck-
less, half formed characters who are
ready for intrigue in any direction
which promises them profit or power.
It is this class which has largely given
force and direction to the Aglipayan
movement and has recruited its ranks
from the ignorant and dangerous ele-
ments.
an this general connection 1 may
say to you, as a matter of information,
that the agitation in the United States
for Filipino independence and the spo-
kenand written utterances Of prominent
men there who are urging it are all
brought here and published in the ma
tive newspapers and are being made
the text for editorials insisting that the
Filipino people are now ready to be-
come an Independent nation. The eff
feet of all this is distinctly injurious.
Its tendency is 20 restore the influence
Of the old insurrection leaders and to
make them active in preaching the old
DrOnaganda. This i'm turn has the eff
feet of demOraliz;ng and weakening
the more conservative and thoughtful!
Filipinos, who fear that if thoy speak
out as they really think they W52r,
be considered the enemies Of their peO
pie and lose prestige with them. The
more prominent and best educated Fill
ipinos, who naturally have their am
billions, are inclined to join in the gem
eral cry"

WASHINGTON LETTER.

UnmistakabEe indications of Re
pIbucdn SUCCESS seems to have de-
prived the Democratic campaig of
most of its energy. An effort is,
f course, being made in some di-
'rection, but from the first there has
ever been a disposition to pull to-
gether for the election of Parker
md Davis and disintegration is
n w going on rapidly within the
Democratic machine. Apparently
ignoring the possibilities of the tel
egraph and the news facilities Of
the press, the Democratic mana
gers have arranged to have Bryan
wrestle with the voters of Indiana
and ex- President Cleveland address
the conservative Democrats of New
York State. But the wiser ones
appreciate that little is to be gain
ed for Parker from this form of
campaigning. Each day the news
papers print in New York stale
ments made by Bryan which are
obnoxious to the conservative
Democrats, while Mr.. Cleveland
is almost certain to say somethirg G
in his speech for Parker that will
antagonize the wild Democracy Ct

JAP COLUMN ENvELoPED
Broke Through Russian Lines, But
Abandoned IA Guns.

Abandoned "a Guns.
Toxic, Oct 19.-The Russians envel-
oped General Yamada's column on Sun
day, October 16. and captured IA guns.
The Russians are now concentrating
in front of the left army under General
Oku and the centre army under Cen
eral Nodzu, and another great bat
tie is expected.
These are the first guns to be lost
by the japanese during the war.
A report telling of the disaster to
General Yamada and stating the con-
ditions at the front reached Toxic
during the night. 1t is as follows:
1.-THE enemy's infantry, about regi-
ment strong, attacked part of the right
army occupying Shangpintaitzu and
Taichaiku on the morning Of October
16, but the Russians were routed by a
counter attack, and at $50 o'clock re-
treated toward the north.
"On the evening of October 16 a
mixed detachment. under command Of
Major General Yamada, was sent to
help part of the left army attacking the
Guellg llOl I'll Vi Tic oAlahAU AAhNAs II
commenced its operations at the right
wing, driving off the enemy. The de-
tachment captured two guns and two
ammunition wagons.
Having attained its object, the de-
tachment, after sunset under cover of
darkness, began retiring toward its
original position. In the meantime at 7
o'clock the enemy division strong,
made a vigorous advance and envel-
oped both wings of the detachment. Sc
we're hand-to-hand fighting ensued.
"The detachment succeeded in driv-
ing off the enemy in front but was
unable to resist him on both fianks.
After breaking through the Russian
line the detachment reached its orig
inal position Our artillery lost most
of its men and horses and was COM
PEELED to leave behind nine field and
five mountain guns.
THE enemy in front has been heav-
lily reinforced, and especially in front
of our centre army has the enemy's
strength been enormously increased.
THE enemys strength against our
left flank of tie left army amounts to a
mixed brigade
Our casualties during the battle of
October 16 reached about 1000"

Mexico City, Oct. 19.-Three killed
and IS more or less seriously wounded
was the result of a tragedy and subse-
quent encounter with soldiers by three
brigands in this federal district.
The dead are: Laurino Frias, Santa
Julia; Nestor Flores. a bandit. and a
soldier. name unknown.
Crazed by drink the three bandits,
Nestor Flores, Rodrigo Saledo and
Petro Herrera, went to the residence
of Vicente Godinez. at Santa Julia. a
northern suburb of this city, and called
for Godinez When he issued from
the house. accompanied by Laurino
Frias, a servant, the bandits opened
fire upon them. Frias was instantly
killed and GOdinez badly wounded
When news of the tragedy reached

peradoes had fed. A pitched battle

st. Petersburg has been cheered by
the report that General Kuropatkin
has resumed the offensive and by the
news of the defeat of the Japanese
command of General Yamada and the
capture of Lone Tree Hill, which is rep
resented to be the key to the position
on the southwest fronts of the contend
ing armies. If the report of the advance
is authentic, and the Russians have
crossed to the south side Of the Shakhe
river, a later rise in that stream may
have produced conditions seriously
threatening failure of General Kuro-
patkins plans. For, it is believed, the
advance force will be cut off from the
reserves and the base Of supplies and
retreat rendered problematical. 1t is,
however. questionable if the advance
movement had proceeded to the point
indicated There seems no immediate
prospect Of a cessation of the fighting
that has been in progress for the last
10 days, although there are signs that
on both sides the supply Of ammuni-
ton is falling short, and that the limit
of endurance in the troops must have
been nearly reached.

There is evidently a good deal oi
anxiety in Democratic CIRCLES re-
garding vice-presidential candidate
Davis speeches. The old gentle.
man is noted for his bungling.
When he made his speech Of ac-
ceptance he departed from the ad-
dress written for him and his re
marks were ludicrous in the ex-
treme. When he wrote his letter
accepting the vicepresidential nom
ination he undertook to show how
extravagant was the Republican
administration and cited, as an ex-
ample of Democratic economy, the
government expenditures for the
fiscal year 1892. His letter was
said to have been carefully edited,
but it remained for the Republican
press 10 discover that the fiscal
year referred to was the third year
of Harrison's s term. Cleveland
was elected in November 1892, FIVE
months after the fiscal year had
closed, and was not inaugurated
until March !, 1895. Mr.. Davis
has also made some even graver
plumbers in his past career which
would not look we'll in print.
The promises of economy made
by both Parker and Davis excite
ouly derision in those who have
carefully analyzed the Democratic
platform. That platform pledges
the party to the continuous I'M
provement of the Mississippi Riv-
er, worked out on a definite plan
and continued until a permanent
improvement is effected. Now this
is a gigantic undertaking. A Com
mission was appointed by Congress
a few years ago to examine into
the feasibility Of such an improve
ment. General Gillispie former
Chief of Engineers, was its chair
man and a very careful eXamiua'
tion and survey was made. 1t was
finally reported to Congress that
the improvement would cost about
$3.50, ,ooo, 900 and would require 10
per cent of the initial cost for main
tenance; more than the Panama
canal, more than the cost of either
the army or navy last year. In
fact, the scheme proved so eXpen-
sive that Congress abandoned the
idea. Advocacy of such tremend-
Gus expenditure sounds strange
when it comes from a party whose
principal claims are that they will
give the country a cheap, admins
tratiUn.
Comptroller Ridgeley of the
Treasury Department would like
to devise a scheme of bank eXam-
ination which would be absolutely
rascal tight. He says this in the
face of the fact that recently at
Grinnell, Iowa, an institution was
wrecked by the successful substi-
tuition OF forged paper night IN the
face of an examination by bank
examiner Shaw. The bank show
ed no trace Of mismanagement,
and as Mr.. Shaw has some two
hundred or more banks to examine
he cannot stop to verify all the pa
per which passed through his
hands. Mr.. Ridgeley is decidedly
of the opinion that the directorate
of each individual bank should ex-
ercise such scrutiny, over its inter
nal affairs as to make forged paper

stances from expert cracksmen.
