 In spite of the awful slaughter with which they had been driven from the hill, the Japanese returned to the charge during the night of October IT. recognising that the hill was the key to the position on the southwest front.
 Nine regiments participated. creeping up drought the night and delivering a furious assault at dawn. But the hill had been bought too dearly by the Rus sians to relinquish it, and the Japanese were driven back with terrible siaugh- ter
 It is reported that General Mistchen- kos Cossacks. under command of Ac- jutapt Gagriloff, were engaged in a hot fight October 17 towards the south east.

JAPANESE LOSE GUNS.
First Time In the War That Russians
 Have Captured Artillery.

Tokio, Oct. 1S.--Q D. m.)-The Rus sians enveloped an advanced column on Sunday, october 16. and captured four teen guns, The Russians are now con- centrating in front of the left army un- der General Oku, and the center army under General Nodzu, and another great battle 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 condi- tions at the front reached Tokio during the night. It Is as follows:
 The enemy's infantry, about a regi- ment strong. attacked part of the right army occupying Shangpintaitsu and Taikchku on the morning of October Is, but the Russians were routed by a counter attack. and at s:S0 o'clock re- treated toward the north. The enemy in the direction of Waituo Mountain remains in his position, but his state is uncertain.
 There Is no change in the direction of our right army and there is no change in the front of our center army.
 On the evening of October IS, a mixed detachment, under command of Major General Yamada, was sent to help part of the left army attacking the enemy north of the Shakhe River. It com menced it's operations at the right wing, driving of the enemy. The detach- ment captured two guns and two ann intuition wagons
 Having attained It's object, the de- tachment, after sunset and under cover of the darkness. began retiring toward its original position.
 In the meantime, at 2 o'clock, the enemy. division strong. made a viEor- ous advance and enveloped both wings of the detachment. Severe hand to hand fighting ensued.
 The detachment succeeded in driving ofr the enemy in front but was unable to resist him on both Hanks.
 After breaking through the Russian line, the detachment reached its oriRi nal position.
 Our artillery lost most of its men and horses and was compelled to leave be- hind nine field and five mountain guns.
 The enemy in front of the left army remans in the position he occupied yes- terday. The front line of all our columns fired slowly until sunset The enemy fin front has been heavil rein forced. especially in front of our center army has the enemys strength been enormously increased.
 The enemy's strength against the left wing of our left flank amounts to a mixed battery.
 Our casualties during the battle oT October 16 reached about one thousand

Japanese gradually moved forward dur ing the day, swinging their left wing around and partially enveloping the Russian right. At dusk the left wing of the Left Army moved to the right and strong advance was made during the night almost to the foot of the hills on which the Russians were.
 On Friday morning the artillery fight was resumed. The infantry also advanced. The left column took a vii lage, capturing twelve guns and then moved on to another village from which they drove the Russians after a sharp fight. The Russians made a counter att tack and were only repulsed after a sharp hand to hand encounter. The Russians broke in confusion and retired fin the direction of Mukden.
 At Il o'clock in the morning the Jap anese flag was raised on hill on the extreme right of the Russians. The only position now held by the Russians Is in the centre. where fierce fight Is now raging

PARKER AND THE CONSTITUTION,
The Judge writes Letter to Ex-Citi-
 meRs Of Ulster.

Mens O9 Ul9teE.
 New York, Oct. 1S.--Judge Parker discussed the question of constitutional government in a letter read tonight al Q meeting of citizens of Ulster County, New York, held at the headquarters of the Commercial Travellers League. There are more than 500 ex-Ulster County citizens now living in this city, and the attendance was large. Speeches were made by former State Senator John J. Linson and Edward Chipp. both of Kingston. N. Y.
 After extending 6 hearty. neighborly greeting to the men of Ulster County living in the Metropolis. and comment ing on the significance of the fact that 1t was at Kingston that the first ccn- stitutiou of New York State was adopt ed twelve years before the federal con- stitution, Judge Parker's letter con- eluded:
 'The federal constitution is a chart that sets forth the course that the ship of State should sail to ensure safe voy- age. By 1t government is divided into three departments. Each department Is to perform its proper and specified functions.
 This is a popular government in its most perfect form. So long as each department performs the functions. and only those. conferred upon by the peo- ple through the constitution, so long are we safe. Under Republican admin istration this rule has been disregarded. One of the branches of the national government has on occasion gone be- yond Its authority and usurped func- tions withheld from 1t by the constt- tuition.
 Therefore this is in issue: Shall the ship of State sail by the peoples chart or at random?
 q repeat, 1t is we'll that the voice of the people of Ulster County be heard on the side of constitutionalism.
 with warm greetings and best wishes for each of you. am.
 Very faithfully,
 Alton B. Parker

STILL FULL OF FIGHT.
Troops Are Exhausted, but Return to
 the EraY.

the Fray.
 Fidyalun. fifty miles east of Shakhe, Oct. 1S.-Fighting still continues along almost the whole front. The Japanese have made an unsuccessful attempt to recapture Lone Tree. The Russian in- fantry met several attacks and re- pulsed them all
 There was a terrific canonading last night. Every one Is terribly ex- hausted. but full of fight
 The battlefield of Lone Three Hill presents the most awful spectacle that can be conceived. Russian and Japa- nese dead are mingled in heaps in ex- tricable confusion. The ground is strewn with broken rifles that had been smashed in hand to hand fighting Everything seems to have been utilized as weapons. The Russian doctors are working heroically on the slopes of the hill, in the attempt to save those of the wounded who still survive. but the Japanese keep up a snipine fire and render the work of relief diflcult ana dangerous.
 The fighting today sIackened con siderably owing to rain and the imnas- sable condition of the roads.

MORE FIGHTING PROMISED.
Indomitabie Pluck shown by the Two
 comhAfanfa.

combasanfs. Mukden, Oct. aZ--t Delayed )-The continual vigilance of the combatants and especially the serious acceptance advance. promises further fighting, al- | though there has been already nine days of unprecedented and exhaustive conflict.
 The Japanese have been alternately testing the Russian centre and right Hanks, holding the Russians in a mo- notonous and bitter day to day resist anese apparently feared that the Rus sian advance would develop a superior force of reserves. The duration of the contest already exceeds by several days the common prophecies as 1t was thought that neither side was capable of such expenditure of men and mu- nitions. which already Is in excess of all the previous fighting within twen- ty-five miles of Liaoyang. The roads south and southwest of Mukden are filled with refugee native families. trailing homeless toward the sorry streets of Mukden. The floods have subsided.
 The army Is so near the environs of the city have been depopulated. All the roads are crowded with army traf- fic.
 The fighting on October IS was most severe. Fifty wounded were counted in an hour passing point on one coun- try pathway. Already the casualties are reported so great as to confirm the declaration of the leaders that the pres ent conflict would be the bloodiest in history. It Is not possible today to make any close estimate of the Russian casualties.
 The Russians appear to hold positions in the plain along the Shakhe River, extending from the railway to Da Pass, beginning at the mountains, but the bitterness and tenacity of the fighting indicates certain situations in the eastern army about which little is known.
 After threatening day the Japanese at il o'clock on the night of October Is rushed the village of Linchenpo on the north bank of the Shakhe River, and west of the railroad, precipitating a thunderous cannonade and fusilade which continued until midnight, the rife ire continuing until dawn.
 The Japanese now occupied the raised temple quadrangle near Lenchenpo, the only eminence for miles around, which affords an unusual advantage for ob- servation and artillery fire against the Russian. right. Several attempts to dislodge them have failed.
 Today yspanese shells are falling at ChanchiaT9 near Psitapo. showing that the heavy and continheus Russian can nonade has been ineffective. e
