LACKS CONFIRMATION
Report Of Heavy Losses Not Sup
ported by Either Belligerent

London, July 13.-Neither of the
belligerents confirm officially the re-
port Of a serious Japanese repulse at
Port Arthur. A Shanghai report says
an attack was made on the western
fort and estimates the Japanese
casualties from mines at $4,000.
There are again numbers Of rumors
from native sources bearing on the
situation at Port Arthur. According
to one of these, Admiral Togo has
been reinforced by several large ves-
sells from Sasebo, where they re-
paired and fitted, but neither this re-
port nor others demand special no
tice. It Is noteworthy that Admiral
Togo's report Of the sortie from Port
Arthur contradicts the st. Petersburg
version that the warships assisted the
forts to repel a land attack.
A dispatch to the Japanese legation
from Toxic today announces that Gen
eral 3Oku reports that in the fights
leading to the occupation of Kai-chou,
the Japanese casualties from July 5
to July were four men killed and
twenty wounded. The casualties of
the Japanese July and were about
$50.

THOUSANDS LOST
AT PORT ARTHUR
,A1exieff Says News From JAP
anese Sources Reveals Fear
full Battle.
Assault by Mikado's Soldiery on
Western Fort Repulsed With
Enormous Casualties.

st. Petersburg, July IS, 5:35 PIN
This city was thrown into a fever Of
excitement this afternoon by the news
that the Japanese had failed in an as
sault on the fortress Of Port Arthur
on Sunday night, having been repulsed
with a loss said to reach 10000.
An official communication from the
Russian general staff says:
According to information derived
from Japanese sources and received
by Admiral Alexieff's military staff,
the Japanese attacked the Russian po-
sitions at Port Arthur during the night
of July 10. They were repulsed with
enormous loss It is difficult to oal-
culate approximately the number of
Japanese casualties which amounted,
1t is said, to the immense figure Of
10000"
The original report reached st.
Petersburg last night in the form of a
newspaper dispatch from Mukden and
was received with incredulity, but at
noon, when Viceroy Alexieff officially
telegraphed the news to the general
staff, it created tremendous impress
sion.
1t was imme diately transmitted to
the Official Messenger and few min
utes afterwards the newsboyS were
running thru the streets electrifying
the crowds with the tidings. The boys
were fairly mobbed by people eager to
buy the extras.
The members of the general staff
do not offer explanations of what Ad-
n1iral Alexieff means by Japanese
sources" but they declare that the
viceroy would not have officially re-
ported such important news unless 1t
had reached him from sources en-
tirely worthy Of credence.
Accept Report with Reserve.
At the same time they say the re-
port should be accepted with reserve,
pending the receipt Of more definite
advices.
Tn support Of the report, however,
they point out that the date comedies
with the second attempt of Admiral
Togos torpedoboat destroyers to
creep into the harbor. 1t is true that
Togo does not mention q land attack,
but this is not his province.
The loss Of 10000 Of the besiegers
In an attack against the Notifications
with guns in position and the APP
proaches sown with mines Is consid-
cred quite within the range of posi-
bility,s if the Japanese, as on other
occasion, stormed the Notifications
with their accustomed recklessness,
and especially if the mines were ex-
ploded under masses of men.
The general staff already had in
formation that the besiegers had &C.
cupied Taku-shan hill, three miles
northeast of the harbor, but add that
the Japanese were unable to hold the
position.
If the report Of the loss Of 10000
Japanese is confirmed, General Nod
zu's army is in desperate straits, as
General Stoessel will not fail to take
advantage of such a reverse and fol-
low it up.
The Japanese have not yet attacked
Ta-tche-kiao. A dispatch from Lieu
tenant General Sakharoff describes a
series of skirmishes east Of Kai-chou.
The troops belonging to General Kuro-
ki's army are meeting with resistance
at the railway from the Russian rear
guard along the Siu-yen road.

PRESIDENT SWINGS
KIN THE W00DPILE


Oyster Bay, L. l., July 13.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Loeb
were engaged today for several hours
in the transaction of official business
at Sycamore Hill. A part Of the time
was devoted by the president to work
in preparation of his speech to be de-
livered July 81, when he receives his
notification Of nomination.
Prior to the arrival Of Secretary
Loeb the president devoted consider
able time to exercise about the Saga
more Hill grounds. This exercise or
dinarily includes swimming, rowing,
horseback riding and walking. Some
times the president joins his children
or his house guests on the tennis
courts.
A favorite exercise Of the president
is chopping wood and he INDUCES in
this every day. It serves to keep
down his weight and he enjoys it
more than any other of his diversions
except horseback riding.

HEAVY LOSS BY RUSSIANS
Attack on Japs at Molten Pass a
Bloody Affair."

At the Front, With General Kuroki's
Forces, July 4, Via Seoul, Korea, July
13.-The brief and disastrous attempt
of the Russians to overwhelm the
small Japanese force which guarded
the entrance to the Molten pass was
a bloody affair. The Japanese troops
again showed their resourcefulness
and courage and the Russians again
threw away many lives. The losses
cannot be ascertained until the battle
field has been searched. The Japan
csc are still driving the enemy UP the
valley.
The correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press saw enough to justify
the estimate that the Russians had
more than 200 men killed Or wounded
and the Japanese casualties probably
will amount to 60. The Russians left
80 dead in front of and in the
trenches where the attack began. At
this point they had an equal number
of men severely wounded and the Jap
anese took several prisoners and cap
tured 100 rifles. The Russians were
seen carrying away two Japanese who
had been either killed or wounded.

SENATOR CLARK
GIVES REASONS
Says His Wife Wanted None Of

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. ....--
Butte, Mont, July 1s.-The follow
ing authentic statement from Senator
w. A. Clark appeared In the Butte
Miner this morning:
There are many good reasons why
both Mrs. Clark and myself desired to
keep our marriage q secret Mrs. Clark
did not care for social distinction nor
the obligations that would entail upon
my public life. She was anxious to
remain in Europe for a time to con-
tinue her studies and felt she could
do this with more freedom. Personal
ly I would have preferred to have her
with me at all times but my extensive
interests compelled me to spend a
great deal Of time travelling thru the
United States, I did not have the
necessary time myself to devote to
social obligations and their active re-
quirements. It has been stated that
my family objected to this union.
Whatever apprehension, If any, may
have existed in this respect on my
part was entirely dissipated when the
facts were disclosed by the cordial re-
ception of the information and their
approval Of these relations which were
so essention to my happiness. Then
again, wanted my child to be edu-
Gated in America and brought up a
resolute and patriotic American"
Senator w. A. Clark and Miss Anna
La Chappelle were married in Mar
settles, France, May rs. 1901. A
daughter, Audree, was born In August
of the following year. -.
Gossip finds food in the fact that
Senator Clark executed a number of
deeds In the transfer of mining prop
critics and real estate since the date OF
the marriage, in which he signed him.
self as an unmarried man. During the
past two years he has incorporated all
his property Of all descriptions into
corporations and that necessitated
numerous deeds and transfers. The
! law of Montana requires the wife OF
a grantor to join in deeds, but as late
| as last April deeds were filed for rec
| ord in Butte, in which Mrs. Clark did
| not join. Several deeds prior to that
especially declared that Senator Clark
was an unmarried man. ....

RUSSIANS FACE
FAMINE DANGER
Necessity Of Relief Measures in
Southern Provinces Already
Apparent.

ST. Petersburg, July 1s.-The pros
pective failure Of the crops Of some
Of the southern provinces, possibly
attendant with famine and the neces-
s1ty of adopting relief measures, is
beginning to attract attention. The
governments Of Kherson, Bessarabia,
Taurida. Poltava and Kharkoff are
principally affected. In the district
Of Triashol the peasants have already
been compelled to harvest the unripe
crop to feed the livestock. Commit
tees have been appointed to relieve
the distress.
The failure Of the crops is at
tributed to early autumn frost, INSULT
cient moisture while sowing, the fluc-
tuating weather Of the winter, the
total absence Of snow, the heavy
frosts which followed the late. spring
frosts in May, and the infrequency of
rains for the cereals and hay. In
some districts no rain has fallen. In
many parts of Bessarabia cattle are
being sold for almost nothing.

CUBA WILL RAISE
THE MAINE WRECK
Contract Let to American Raises
Point at Law Before u. s.
Government.
Washington,

Washington, July 1s.-R. H. F.
Sewell of New Orleans has informed
the navy department that he has made
contract with the Cuban government
to raise the wreck of the battleship
Maine, which has laid In the mud of
the harbor of Havana since the ex-
plosion on the night Of Feb. 10, 1898.
Before proceeding Mr.. sewell de-
sires to know what claim, If any, the
United, States. government has to the
wreck.
The communication has been re-
ferred to the Judge advocate general
Of the navy. 1t raises an interesting
question, the settlement of which may
cause some Embarrassment. One
point that puzzles the legal officers Of
the navy is as to whether the wreck
has been actually abandoned, and the
determination Of that point involves
the right of the executive branch to
abandon United States property in a
case like the present without express
provision Of law. The Cuban govern
ment, 1t is understood, makes no
claim of ownership, and is governed
simply by desire to improve the
navigation.

thruout the country and regarding
the stocks on hand, said.
at Is too early to say definitely.

BRYAN ALMOST
GAGS ON PARKER
Says His Election Will Mean
Little or No Progress in
Economics.

Lincoln, Neb., July NV. j.
Bryan dealt Judge Alton B. Parker,
dency, and the democratic party sew
eral backhanded blows in a statement
given out yesterday He says he is
going to vote for the Judge, but says
that "a democratic victory will mean
very little, if any, progress on eco
nomic questions SO long as the party
is under the control Of the Wall street
element: On the money question Mr..
Parker Is as thoroly committed to the
side Of the f1nanciers as Mr.. Roose-
velt.''
He thinks that on the trust ques-
ton the democratic platform is better
than the republican. But the nomi-
nation of Judge Parker virtually multi
fies the antitrust plank, unless in his
letter of acceptance he commits him
self to attempt antitrust legislation
we need not expect him to pursue a
different course from that pursued
by President Roosevelt"
$50 far as the labor questions are
concerned" he adds, I'VE must await
Judge Parkers letter before we shall
know whether the laboring man has
anything to expect from his election.
The labor plank as prepared by
Judge Parker's friends on the subcom-
mittee, was straddlng, meaningless
plank.
"On the tariff question some little
progress may be hoped for, but the
Parker men on the committee were
necessarily in favor of "a very conserv-
ative tariff plank, and 1t remains to
be seen whether Judge Parker will
carry out the positive and definite
plank which was submitted by the full
committee
"As I have tried to point aout for
several months, the triumph Of the
| Tycn cs%r ala nv,t - $I,4 o,$xy 10
MES to the country any hope Of re-
lief on economic questions"
! The above are reasons, apparently,
why Mr.. Bryan might have decided
not to vote for Parker. But he thinks
these are outweighed by four other
reasons which are In substance as
follows:
First-Because the democratic ticket
stands for opposition to Imperialism,
while the republican ticket stands for an
inperialistic policy.
Second-Mr. Roosevelt Is injecting the
race Issue into American politics. and this
issue, If it becomes national will make
1t impossible to consider economic ques-
| lions that demand solution. The election
of the democratic ticket will put q quietus
upon this attempt.
! Third-Mr Roosevelt stands for the
spirit Of war. His friends present him as
| a man Of blood and iron.
| Fourth-The democratic platform de-
clares in favor Of the reduction Of the
standing army.
Mr.. Bryan closes his statement by
saying that while the fight on eco
nomic questions is postponed, it is not
abandoned, adding: AS soon as the
election Is over shall, with the help

STRIKE OF $4,000
HITS CONSUMERS
Public Must Bear Large Share Of
Burden Of Butchers Walk
out.
Thousands Idle or About to Be,
Because Work Depends on
Active Plants.

Chicago, July 13.-With no sign of
weakening on either side, the only ray
of hope in the butchers strike situa-
ton today was the possibility that
arbitration may intervene to prevent
a labor war fraught with suffering
heavy loss to the packers.
Nor is the effect of the strike con-
fined to the employees and packers in
the nine cities where the fight will be
centered. The consuming public will
bear a large share of the burden in
higher prices Of meats. Reports al
ready have come from various cities
that prices of the product have been
raised. This advance was said to be
but a forerunner of others if the con-
fict continued long.
In addition to the $4,000 employees
already on strike, 10000 more are in
volved indirectly, and most of them
probably will be made idle before the
night.
In addition to the Strengthening de-
partments Of all the plants being tied
UP, the strike affects branch industries
in which such articles as butterine,
soap, buttons and combs are nanufac-
tured. The canning departm
where beans, soups and all kinds of
meats are put UP are also affected,
the union employees having gone out
in a body.
Other Industries Affected.
Forty thousand persons, aapproxi-
mately, find employment in the big
pacl1inghouses in Chicago, and this
number already has been reduced one
half. The effect of the strike upon
the mechanical and other depart
ments, it is declared, will increase
this army Of unemployed in Chicago
before the end Of the week to nearly
$4,000.
Arbitration is looked upon as the
only means to avert a prolonged
! strike. The strikers declare they will
be willing to consider any reasonable
detail Of the police at the stockyards
has been increased In number and all
night the officers patrolled the strike
district in pairs.
There was considerable speculation
as to whether the packinghouse team
sters would go out on sympathetic
strike. 81 George Golden, business
Eagents Of the union, set all doubts al
rest at meeting OF the teamsters
joint council by announcing that the
teamsters will remain at work as long
as there was work for them to do.
