HILL ON POSTAL FRAUDS
New York Politician Attacks the Presi-
dent in His Speech at Whitney
Point ,

Binghampton, ". Y, Sept. For
mer Senator David d. Hill was the
guest today of the Broome county fair,
which is being held at Whitney Point,
and delivered an address.
Mr.. Hill briefly discussed the tariff
and said the democratic platform was
silent upon the money question because
that question was deemed settled. The
almost unanimous approval by the con-
vention Of Judge Parker's telegram
operated virtually as an amendment Of
the platform, and the new platform
necessarily superseded all previous Ia
tional platforms.
The present campaign on the part OF
the republicans he declared, '1s one Of
humbug and false pretenses, peculiarly
R~ooseveltism in all It's essential charac-
teristics." Mr.. Hill charged that when
ever the president desired to impress
upon the country the greatness or
goodness of his deeds, he employed
certain magazine writers to exploit
them, instead Of communicating to the
public directly through messages or add
dresses. He cited a magazine article
by William Allen White, Of Kansas, on
the subject, How Roosevelt Uncovered
the Postal Frauds" claiming it was
an effort to convince the people that
the president was not responsible for
the frauds of his administrator and
declared hat IL the article was not
dictated at the White House, 1t was
at least inspired there. 1t would fail
OF its purpose, however, because it was
not true.
Mr.. Hill took up the Philippine ques-
ton ~contending that the Filipinos,
when it can be safely done, should be
given their independence.
White Makes a Denial.
Kansas City, Aug. 31.-Willlam
Allen White, referring to the statement
in Hills speech said:
"The article was not inspired at the
White House and the president fur
nished none of the facts"

siderably superior In numbers to Kuro-
patkin's, but the latter probably relies
upon the strength and character OF his
position to overcome the disparity in
numbers.
A dispatch from General Sakharoff.
dated Lao Yang, at 10 this morning,
says:
Many Japanese attacks are being
directed against the Russian center and
right, where the Russian losses have
been heavy. The Japanese posted
numerous artillery within range OF all
the Russian positions during the night.
A hot fire opened at 5 this morning,
and by 9 the Japanese were close TO the
Russian positions"
The Russian cavalry won a notable
success west of Lao Yang, repulsing
the Japanese advance. This was the
first time Russian cavalry has had an
opportunity to charge the Japanese on
open ground since the war began.
General StoesseI's report says the
Japanese attacks were repulsed till Au-
gust rs, with heavy loss to the at
-taekars He giVas no ~l1atails of the 20
sitions held or of the Russian losses in
men. but says the officers suffered se-
verely. especially the younger ones.
Some of the larger Russian guns were
placed out of action by the Japanese
batteries and were replaced by field
pieces. The general describes the
stencil from the dying bodies between
the lines as horrible.

Called Out, and Meat

Night Vote to Remain at
Work.

Chicago, Sept. president Donnelly
has ordered 1900 butcher workmen en-
ployed in the independent packing
plants to cease work after today. The
of the Union Stock Yards
company said in anticipation Of a strike
OF stockhandlers men have beer in
training to take the places OF the de-
sorting weighers. and no trouble is ex-
pected in handling stock.
Al famine in meat is declared by the
strikers to be probable as a result of
their new move against the packers.
strike of all butcher workmen through
out the country. If the order is OBJ
served about 1000 men in Chicago will
be affected. and the independent plants
of large capacity in ST. Louis, East st.
Louis, Omaha. Kansas City, Sioux City,
New York. Milwaukee,, Syracuse and
Stickney, ILL.,, and hundreds of small
plants throughout the country will be
crippled. The union officials assert that
$4,000 men will go out, probably tomor-
row.
AT 10 o'clock this morning the stock
handlers at the yards marched, out and
were greeted with cheers by the union
pickets. Representatives of the pack
ers claim there is little chance of a
meat famine.
President Donnelly is said to be de-
pending upon the union drivers for the
success of his attempt to make meat
scarce. What action the $500 grocery
and meat drivers will take remains to
be seen. Heretofore they nave refused
to handle meat from the strike-affected
packers and their employers were
forcedAto buy from the Independents.
1t Is also said an attempt will be
made to shut off the ice supply from
every retail market in Chicago. In ad-
dition to the stock handlers, 125 special
policemen and nearly 400 pen cleaners.
drivers of refuse wagons, and laborers,
employed by the Union Stock Yards
company. quit work. Efforts are max
ing to call out the switchmen at the
yards.
Frank F. Hawley, grand master of
the S~witchmens' Union of North Amer
lea. has been summoned to Chicago
with n view to getting the switchmen
throughout the United States to refuse
TO handle cars containing anything for
the packers.
Far too many cattle are being hur-
ried to the markets. The receipts the
first half of the week were $4,000,
against $4,000 last week. The supply
was too large for the general demand
today, which was much smaller than
usual.
