 with twinkling lights. this being the flashes from the guns. Much of the artil- lery was in skilfully covered positions and absolutely smokeless powder was used.
 Clusters of white shrapnel smoke broke out fitfully around some Japanese posi- tions in the mountains, and then drifted slowly away, showing that often two or three batteries upon either side were pitt ed against one another.
 Dotted With Sudden Flashes.
 The nearer ridges of the mountains and the edge of the plain were constantly dotted with sudden flashes of white smoke from exploding shells, and the sound that came to the ears of the observers was as a continuous rumble of thunder varied by successions of sharp peals, as two or three batteries united and fired together
 Throughout the day the positions of the opposing forces were but little changed and at nightfall the honors appeared to be even.
 The Japanese infantry, which was massed behind the hills, was often under severe fire, especially when the Russians discerned regiments advancing from one point to another.
 There was some infantry fighting on the hills bordering the plains.
 Bodies of Russian troops could be seen marching about Liao Yang with the ap- pearance of great activity, and one Rus sian column composed of several regi- ments of cavalry moved out to the left of the Russian rear, as though to pro- tect the retreat of the main body. Trains could be seen steaming out of Liao Yang to the northward every half hour during the day.

 dividuality which the telegram to the St. Louis convention so forcebly conveyed.
 We rejoice that the principles and poi- cies of democracy have found so worthy an exponent in 1904, because we realize that every great popular movement must present to the people both the idea and the man for the hour. We gave both. and we are proud of the man who so inn pressively demonstrates that he would rather be right than be President
 "We mean that he shall be President, because he is right. Sow a character said a distinguished writer and you reap a destiny We shall prove the truth of the apothegm. The democratic party planted Alton B. Parker at St. Louis, and 1t will reap the presidency"
 It was some time before the applause following Mir. Knapp's speech subsided enough for Mir. Parker to begin his reply. which was as follows:
 Judge Parker's Remarks.
 "It Is indeed a great pleasure to welcome to Rosemount this body of the represen- tatives of the great American press, one of the mighty forces for the upbuildina and strengthening of a sturdy American citizenship. You have been in conference to the end that your work in this cam paign may be as effective as possible. Or- ganized effort and concerted action must always increase the effectiveness and en- deavor of many hands.
 "The great papers are those which an- ticipate the careful judgment of the ma- jority. The great tribunal of the Ameri- can people may be implicitly relied on tu decide all questions with unerring and exact justice when all the evidence Is in and deliberaton had, and those who would hold places as leaders of peopls l.r rtafa A Arnn faaR an q erect, so far-sghted and so sure of the pulse of the people as 10 discern the cur rent public opinion will take. Just as long as the press can discern and lead the unhurried and well-considered judgment of the people. so long will its power grow nightly and so long will 1t hold its place in the front rank of the unfalterlng and vigorous march of national progress.
 There are question sof great import O be passed upon by the people in Novern- ber questions that it will be your duty. and therefore I am sure your pleasure as well, to present honestly and so clearly that the people will understand them.
 Feature of Republican Platform.
 T shall but crave your indulgence while briefly refer to simple feature of tha platform of the republican party.
 That platform opens with a deelara- tion of that party's many years of com trol of government, coupled with the as- sertion that 1t has displayed a high ea- pacity for rule and government which has been made even more conspicuous by the incapacity and infrmity of purpose shown by its opponents.
 'Fortunately we have eight recent years of democratic administration of the executive department of the government which VIC will gladly compare with any similar period since 1860.
 ''The comparison will show under demo- cratic control the administrative purity the fathers observed In the conduct oi

Use the searchIlght.

The Russians withheld their fire for searchlight up the valley. The Japanese opened with a rifle fire. The Russians waited until apparently the whole Jap anese column was in the danger zone. Then the mine was exploded. The force of the explosion knocked a number of Russians down, and the sight of Jap anese rifles, water bottles, legs and arms hurled through the lighted space, made by the search lights, was an awful spec tacle. Some rocks landed inside the Rus sian lines.

We thank you particularly, Judge Par ker. for the manly declaration that you will not be a candidate for a second term. If you are elected President We well come in this avowal the introduction of new and vital issue in politics and un- hesitatingly give it our endorsement and support.

Was an Appalling Moment.

There was one appalling moment during which the garrison itself was stunned, then death-like silence. The search light eoldly lighted up the road and hiilsides strewn with dead. The following day the Russians buried the dead but ewing to their dismembered and mutilated condi- ton, the Russians were unable accurately to estimate the number of killed. A few Japanese, however, escaped.
 The foregoing information is contained in small sheet issued September 3 by the Port Arthur Novakrai, a breakage of the press having made 1t impossible to ls- sue full edition.
 A Chinese arriving at midnight confirms the above to the extent of saying he heard report that many Japanese had been killed by mine, but he did not learn the details.
 On the nights of August 26 and 27 a similar disaster befell the Japanese near redoubt No. 2 1t is reported, but no de- tails have been ascertained.

Colonel Edwards Brings News
From Washington of SloO,0OO
Additional Appropriation.
ECONOMY TO BE PRACTICED.
AS Constructive Period Has End
ed, Considerable RetreDch-
ment Will Be Made in
the Pay Rolls.

The Philippine reservation mt the
Worlds Fair was all asos Yesterday over
the arrival of Colonel Clarence +. Ed
wards of Washington from the War De-
partment. He brought with him news of
an additional appropriation of si50.GG.
Colonel Edwards is the official Santa
Claus to the F'ilipinos in st. Louis. When
ever anything is wanted they call upcn
him.
Two weeks ago the executive officers of
the Philippine Exposition Board wore a
worried look. They had Just checked over
their accounts and found an immediate
necessity for maintenance funds. Colonel
Edwards was appealed TO.
His arrival yesterday brought back the
smiles to the officials when 1t became
known that the appropriation had been
granted.
While the officers Of the Philippine
Board were congratulating themselves on
the good fortune of receiving this last ard
necessary appropriation, the corps Of
workmen and Office force. bent over their
work in fear and trembling. wondering at
what moment their official heads were to
be chopped OF. 1t was rumored that
Colonel Edwards had brought an AK with
him for the sake of retrenchment, and
this rumor was not denied by Colonel Ed
no PRACTICE ECONOMY.
,;si, 1.-The I. cost cost o. ,n maintenanee in this ex-
great, and economy will be practiced
wherever it is possible. AS the con-
st.uctive period Of the Fair is over now.
there is no doubt that a considerable re.
trenchment will be made in the pay rolls"
As the result of a meeting OF the Phil
ippine Exposition Board Saturday fifty
employees were dropped from the $50 work
men employed on the grounds. These rep
resented the juries on awards, landscape
gardeners and few carpenters whose
work has been completed.
The suggestion made by the Philippine
Commissioners to charge a general ad-
mission OF 30 cents or 81 to the exhibit In
stead of the 25-cent admission fee now
charged into each of the native villages
will be one Of the many matters put to
Colonel Edwards for settlement while in
st. Louis.

SECRETARY MORTON PLEASED.
Head of Navy Witnesses Repro
duction of Santiago Battle.

Paul Morton. Secretary of the Navy, was
both surprised and delighted last week
when he witnessed the reproduction of the
Battle Of Santiago at the Naval Show on
the Pike.
''It is a most remarkable production Of
naval warfare" said Secretary Morton
after witnessing the mimic conflict. be-
lieve every naval attache should witness
it. It affords a rare opportunity for the
public to witness naval battle or real
istic reproduction of one."
The tremendous success achieved last
week in giving the reproduction has
prompted the management TO continue the
show. Schley's signal victory proved to
be extremely popular with those who wit
partment at the Worlds Fair was particu-
larry pleased with the show, as it has
drawn comment and reports from nearly
all of the country's newspapers.
Twenty-eight miniature battleships, each
perfect models of the big men-'o-war of
the United States Navy, constitute the
Worlds Fair navy. All are fully equipped
and ready for action. Twenty thousand
shells are used in each performance. Tor
pedoes and mines are exploded. and the
mimic, battle becomes SO realistic at times
that spectators are compelled to arise and
shout their approval.
Il IS not a panoramic effect but each lit
tlet vessel plays its part just as did the
bigtsteelclad monsters under the guidance
of Admiral Schley at Santiago. The battle
begins, as did the real conflict. with the
sinlxing of the Merrimac by Hobson in the
entrance to the bay, and ends with the
chase and sinking of the Colon. the last Of
the Spanish ships to surrender.

Philippine Board Determined to
Prevent Repetition of Satur-
day Nights Riot.
TO BAR DISoRDERLY PERSONS.
Benjamin jenkins, Supposed to
Have Been Cut by Women,
Is Pronounced Out of
Danger.

In an attempt to rid the Philippine
Reservation at the Worlds Fair of unde-
sirable persons. and avoid a repetition of
Saturdays riot in the Cafe L.uzon. a re-
quest was made yesterday by the Philip
pine Exposition Board to the city de-
tective department for two of Chief Des-
mond's men TO be on duty there evenings.
While Ben Jenkins. proprietor of the
cafe, VINO was seriously cut and wound
ed. supposedly by a party of women who
had been drinking in the cafe. was pro-
nounced out OF danger yesterday. the ex-
ecutive officers of the Philippine Board
declare they will use every means to
avoid a recurrence of similar trouble by
eiecting undesirable characters from the
reservation
Major Johnston, in command of the Fill
pino Scouts, emphatically denied the re-
port that any Of the Scouts were implicated
or were even present when the riot oc-
Cured. His statement is reiterated by
Lieutenant Reid, who was at the cafe
When the trouble began, and says that the
lalf dozen Scouts who were there at that
tlme were ordered back to camp.
NO evidence was secured by detectives
working on the case against any members
or the Filipino Constabulary, who it was
thought at first might have had a hand
Detectives who are investigating the
case now incline to the belief that It was
Dolly Carter, one Of the six women ar
rested. who did the cutting. All of the
women are being held at the Clayton
Jail pending an investigation.
Doctor Williamson Of the Philippine
hospital stated last evening that Jenkins's
condition was much improved yesterday,
and there was possibility Of his recovery.
Watchman Wilkins. who was also badly
cut, was reported much improved.
Colonel Edwards Of q a ofn
who came on yesterday to make a general
inspection of the Filipino exhibit. said
that if it were found that either the
members of the Scouts or Constabulary
had taken hand in the riot. they would
he promptly punished for disorderly con-
duct.
Detectives working on the case yester-
day found two penknives covered with
blood lying in the grass near the guard
house. 1t is believed the women who did
the cutting threw them away after the
trnuhle.

Julius Lehman Thinks That He
Should Serve No Longer Term
Than Other Boodlers.

ST hope and believe that after Folk Is
elected Governor, OF which there is no
doubt, he will reduce the sentences of
Emil Hartmann and myself to two years"
This is the substance of the words Julius
Lehman, Of ''birthday-party" fame, is
said to have used to a former member of
the st. Louis Police Board.
Lehman is now serving a seven-year
term and Hartmann ffve-year term for
bribery in connection with the city light

is that he gave us longer term than he
did the other men now in the Peniten-
