Indiana is Doubtful.

A few days ago much attention wa
attracted by an editorial in tho In.
dianapolis newspaper of>which Senator
Fairbanks is part owner and which
is recognized a. the senator's persona
organ. This editorial. not only made
tho important admission that Indiana
is doubtful state in this campaign.
but that the Democratic party has
more than fighting chance in the
county" at large. This editorial was
read with lively interest by certain
eminent Republican politicians in
Washington and it has been much
talked about. 8 eyeral of them have
discovered that they entertained pre-.
cisely these views themselves, although
they were not speaking of them above
whisper.
Chairman Cortelyou, Of the Repub-
lican national committee. is keeping
discreet silence. although he has been
in conference with such leaders as
Senator Scott, of West Virginia, and
other war horses of the party during
the last few days. Mr.. Scott threw
some light on the situation in his state,
and although he talks with much as
sursnce according to the most ap-
proved policy of partisan optimism, it
is apparent that he is worried over the
situation. and is by no means satisfied
that the state will be found in the Re-
publican column next November. West
Virginia is doubtful at best, but it: is
certain that the candidacy of Henry
G. Davis will draw many votes from
the Republicans.

Actual Residence" Defined B,
Officials.

Washington, Aug. 15.-''The estab-
lishment of residence under the
homestead law" says Acting Secretary
Ryan. for the interior department., in
North Dakota case, the decision in
which is just made public, cannot be
proved by showing merely that an en-
trymsn has been on the land any civ.
en- number of days or nights. and in
going upon the tract of land, the act
of the entryman must concur with the
intent to make it his permanent home,
to the exclusion of any home elsewhere.
The construction thus placed upon
the homestead law as to residence
grew 1ut of the contest OF A. L. Allen
of the homestead entry of F. A. Ma.
lev, for tract of land in the Devils
Lake district, North Dakota. The de.
PENDANT Maley. as shown by the evil
dence, had built q small rough. board
shanty upon the land, bad slept there,
at the time, some three or four nights,
had again slept there one night. q
month, or two afterwards was there
couple of days more on the land.
at the expiration OF SIX months there
after. He had never had any article
of furniture in the shanty save bench
and table and had never cooked meal
on the premises. On the other band,
he had caused about six or seven acres
of the land to be broken for him by
another party, who cultivated fax
thereon, taking it in payment for bis
labor.
What is Residence" in the contem.
qlation of the homestead law, was thus
expounded by the acting secretary.
"No residence can be established in
good faith, without the existence is
shown of an intent to make it a home.
Under certain circumstances the power
tv or sickness of an entryman or bis
inability to secure employment in the
vicinity of the tract entered by him
may excuse Temporary absence there
from-provided residence thereon has
once been established-yet even such
causes csn not bs accepted as excuses
for failure to establish . residence
within the statutory period when such
default is charged. and proved by An
entering contestant"

KURoPATKIN's REPORT.
Russian Commander Acknowledge
Failure of Plan.

81 petersburg, Oct. 16-Cnder date Of
Oct: 10 General Kuropatkin sent the fol-
lowing telegram 10 the emperor:
On the night of Oct II large forces
Of Japanese attacked the corps drawn I'D
in line at Shakhe, on the great Mandarin
road. Several attacks were repused but
the last succeeded and the corps was
broken. At that moment fighting began
on the right flank with a neighboring
section. The possibility was that with the
rupture Of our center our whole formal
non Would be threatened and that the
nelSnoorinE troops might force a retreat.
IN order to support the troops on the
great Mandarin road several battalions
We're rapidly pushed forward. The troops
were thus enabled to take the offensive
and succeeded in retaking the VILLAGE of
Shakhe. reOccuDyinE the first positions
Reinforced by reserves. the Japanese dis
lodged us again from the village of Shak-
he Then the advanced reserves and
troops defending the position resumed the
offensive. and after a stubborn fight We
succeeded in repecupying Shakhe repuls-
ing the JapaneSe and driving them hack
two kiiometers from thdt place.
ION our right wing the position was for
some time very alarming The troops
were attacked from the front and by
turnings movement on their right flank
The chief OF a detachment advanced the
troops set apart for last rally. they hav-
ing attacked the japanese from the flank
in their turn. Several villages were re-
taken by us. The right wing maintained
it's positions on the line of the Shakhe
positions The troops on our center were
notceably advanced in comparison with
other troops in the general position of
the line. one position ON our right flank
had been chosen beforehand and partially
fortified Our troops have been fighting
for four days and many regiments have
not slept for three nights. Nevertheless
have full confidence Elm their capacity
10 continue the struggle The Japanese
losses must be very considerable.
THE night of Oct IL passed quietly
Before 9 O'Clock this morning rather
marked movement OF the enemy was no.
ticed in the direction of our positions on
the great Mandarin road. Our batteries
opened fire on them. I have received a
report from the commander of the left
wing that the enemy has been strongly
reinforced there as was the case at Lao
Yang. the quantity of heavy firing caused
a storm TO burst forth, followed by q
torrentiai rain. The roads are in very bad
condition and the level of the rivers has
risen The general order for all troops
remained the same as before, 10 offer
most resolute resistance. I have Just re-
fcived a report that a considerable Jap
ahcse force has crossed the railway line
from west 10 cas-
