President Issues a Denial.

Washington. Nov. 5.--Presid ident
Roosevelt last night made a signed
statement to the American people, In
answer to the charges promulgated
against himself and Mr.. Cortelyou In
public speeches by Judge Parker. Dem
ocratic candidate for the presidency.
President Roosevelt SAYS:
The assertion that Mr.. Cortelyoh
had any knowledge gained while In
any official position. whereby he was
enabled to secure and did secure any
contributions from any corporations, II
a talsehOOd.
The assertion that there has been
any blackmail. direct or indirect. by
Mr.. Cortelyou. or by me. is false
hood
THE assertion that there has been
made. in my behalf OF and by my au-
thorization by Mr.. Corteiyou. or by
myself. any pledge. or that there has
been any understanding as to future
dement's. in recognition Of any contrt.
button from any source. Is a wicked
falsehood"

THE FARM AND RANGE
Method In Brands.

Al he coming convention OF the Ma
tional Live Stock Association one Of
the matters that win ceAe up for dis
eussion 10 that OF setting on foot .
movement for the adoption Of = uni
foTu system Of brands for the western
country. The need Of some modern
system Of brands for live stock 10 be-
coming more and more necessary. As
there will always be public ranges In
the West there will always be the ne
cess!ty OF marking the animals. When
tte i've stock on the range were
owned by = comparatively few per-
sons, almost any kind Of . brand
would do. but as the great herds have
Deen divided up and owners have been
multiplied. the supply Of symbols that
could be used for this purpose has be-
come scarce. In Colorado where once.
less than 10000 brands covered ell in
use In the state. there are now on
record close to 10000 and the num-
per Is steadily increasing and even
hen there are a large number OF
brands in use that have never been re-
corded.
At the st. Louis Worlds Fair this
year there was offered q gold medal
Tor the best system Of branding live
stock. Strangely enough. the only
contestants for the honor came from
South America. One was from Brasil
and the other from Argentine. Both
were founded on ten simple symbols
used for the ten figures. The plan
OF each provides that each stock owner
be given a number for his brand. and.
instead OF making the number in the
usual way, the symbols are made. The
system has many advantages Oves that
now in use. The brands are easier to
read, easier listed and indexed, are i'm
possible to change by adding figures
and are better In every way than the
crude method now in use OF using any
sign that fancy might dictate. BY the
new method there can be no duplica-
tion of brands and by combining certain
series of numbers to certain localities
any one can tell at glance the sec
tion from which the animal come.
Chief Brand Clerk Baker Of the
secretary Of states office Is busy
studying up the matter and 1t will be
presented to the stockmen at the con-
vention In January, when 1t is possible
that a committee will be appointed
to take the matter UP in earnest-

Fighting. at Port Arthur.

Chicago, Nov. 8.-A special to the
News from Dalny. dated Nov. 4th, via
Kobe, November 7th, says:
After three days Of coatinuous bonn
bardment of Port Arthur. which
caused extensive destruction to the
Shojusan and Niryusan forts in the
west center Of the Russian line Of de-
Tense. and also to keekwan fort, the
right wing Of the Japanese army as
saulted Shojusan yesterday afternoon.
Having carried the approaches to that
height. the assaiiants entrenched them
selves under the glacis Of the forts. In
the evening the left wing delivered an
assault on Keekwan. fighting its way
to the lower parapet. There the Japa-
nese held their ground stubbornly In
the face Of Russian counter attacks.
These operations have successfully
driven an effective wedge into the Rus
sian center. Severe explosions and ex-
tensive fires have occurred In the fort
ress within the last few days.
The total casualties Of the Japanese
in the late attacks were LOO. Over 500
were killed up to October 29th. The
spirit OF the men Is magnificent. The
firing of all the guas is wonderfully ef-
fective.
The climax of the late bombardment
came between and 6 o'clock Saturday
afternoon 1t was superb spectacle.
Every fort Of the enemy was engaged.
and the fighting In the treuches was
constant and severe The outposts OF
the contepdjng forces were only forty
fest apart 4

HUNTING BANDITS
HOT AFTER WYOMING sosszas
Shsrif's Fsnton and Slough, With Large
Posses Following Outlaws to ths
Hois-in-tha.WAil Rsujon.

A Republican special from Deranch.
Wyoming. last night says: Your rep
IAsentative arrived here shortly after
sdndown with Sheriff Slough OF Frs-
mont county and Sheriff Fenton and
posse Of Big Horn county. the ofncsrs
having found the trail of the Cody Iaa-
dlts again during the day and followed
1t into the very heart Of the bad lands
They are not more than ten miles
behind Logan and his bald OF robbers
Reliable Information has been received
here that the bandits have taken ref
use at the ranch house Of 4 asympathizer
near the notorious HOls-in-the-Wal
rendezvous. southeast of this place. and
DO not know that the officers have fol-
lowed this far.
Sheriff Fenton. who is directing the
pursuit OF the desperadoes. has asked
for reinforcements from Casper, 100
miles southeast Of here. and a telephone
message was received late tonight
stating that Sheriff Webb and a large
posse would start at once for the scene.
Fenton and his men will do a little
scouting tonight and tomorrow to
sec that the outlaws do not leave their
hiding place before Sheriff Webb and
his party arrive. Should the outlaws
become alarmed and attempt to leave
the county Sheriff Webb will be ad-
vised at Yolton. Lost Cabin or one of
tho smaller stations on the telephone
line. and an effort will be made to in
tercept the bandits at the eastern exit
of the Hole-in-theW Wall.
Should the robbers attempt to double
back on their trail and escape by the
only other exit from the Hole, the route
they followed in entering the rendez-
vous. they will be attacked by Fenton
md his party near this place.
A bloody battle is certain to occur
during the next thirty-six hours either
at the eastern or western exit of the
Hole. or in the vicinity of the present
hiding place of the outlaws. Should the
bandits remain In ignorance of tho
plans to bottle them up in the rendez-
vous then the fight will occur at the
ranch house of their friend, for the
two posses from the east and west will
combine forces as soon as Webb ar
rives. and close in on Logan at once.
The officers here are completely worn
out. but they are anxious for the fight.
They will get almost twerty-four hours
rest. however. if preser, plans carry.
and will be in prime shaS .xor the bat
tie when Webb arrives.

Che Foo, Nov. 5.-Information has
been brought by Chinese that the si1.
days Of bOmbardmert and efforts on
the part Of the besiegers to take the

ossrRovEo sv RUSSIAN NINE
Loss Of One q Japan's Best Battle
ships-Rsport Confirmed BY
Associated PPsss.

Paris. Nov. Tho Associated Press
was put In 4 position to-day TO state
positively that It's dispatches from
Che Foo. Port Arthur and Toxic.
TO tho effect that tho japanese
battleship Yashima had been sunk by
. mine OF Dalny. which dispatches
were denied by the Japanese authon
ties at the time, have finally been ON
cially confirmed. The japanese gov
ernment has notified foreign govern
ments Of the loss Of the ship. The
number Of men who went down with
tho vessel IL not known, but 1t 10 be-
Neved to have been small. The ON
cal details show that the Yashina
struck q Russian mine and later At
tempted to make Dalny harbor. but
this proved impossible. and she sank
In deep water.
The loss of the Yashima has been
concealed by the japanese. though the
Russian authorities have believed for
sone time that the reports that the
battleship had been destroyed were
correct. 1t Is important. since 1t Is
now disclosed that Japan has only four
modern battleships remaining.
These are the Asahi. Full. Mikasa
and Shikishima. Another vessel classed
as as q battleship is the Chinyen. taken
from China in 1894. but she Is old and
not Of much fighting value.
The Yashima was one OF the hnest
battleships Of the Japanese navy. Her
displacement was 12.340 tons. about
the size Of the American battleship
Maine. and she had a speed OF nine
teen knots. She carried a heavy bat
terry of four twelve-inch, ten sixinch
and four other guns of smaller caliber.
The Russian squadron at Port Arthur
includes FIVE modern battleships more
or less damaged. and Rear Admiral Ro
jestvensky's command. which is now
en- route from the Baltic to the Far
East, also numbers five battleshipi. In
view of the inferiority Of the Jap.
anese in battleships. their armored
cruisers strength is important. they
being greatly superior to the Russians
In this respect.

|. Doss Boatright, the Galloway coun-
ty photographer who has been in jail
here for more than . week charged
with being implicated In the floating
Of oolnterfeit s20 bank notes, was tax
en- before U.S. Commissioner Armour
Gardner this morning,,for trial.
Boatrishs, in support Of his previ.
oas statements. waived examination
and was held over to the federal court
under Q Is, 900 bond which he says he
oAn readily execute.
Boatright lives about fifteen miles
from Murray. KY, and right in the
heart Of the country from which most
Of the notes seem TO have come. The
notes are counterfeit photographs and
as Boatright is the. only photographer
in that neighborhood, suspicion natur-
ally pointed no him. A search Of his
photograph gallery failed to reveal neg
atives from which the bills were print
ed, but the secret service men had
other evidence of such nature that
Boatright evidently saw it was useless
to stand preliminary trial. The men
who will go on Boatright's bond are
T. J. Henslee, A. b. Beale, j. +.
BoAtright and NJ. d. Boatright, all
property owners in Galloway. Power
of attorney was sent down today by
Commissioner Gardner to effect
the max ing of the bond.
