IN THE PAST
David B. Hill Recalls the Forgotten
 Force Bill.

Huntington, W. Va. Oct. 15.-No more force bills; no more federal laws for the control of state elections. This was the conclusion reached by Dav1t B. Hill after discussfong the race ques- ton as a political issue here tonight. He declared that the republican plat form injected the question into the campaign. not directly. but indirectly. not openly and manfully, but covertly and cowardly.
 The congressional investigat tiOn fn- voked, he said, looks like a threat i'm tended for intimidation purposes. Con tinuing. he said the proposal espOused in the platform might be viewed with more complacency and less seriousness had not the attitude of the present oc- cupant of the White House. ever since his incumbency thereof. been that of ill., Concealed hostility to those whose mo- tions of social equality differed so rad ically from his own. It is a fact dem onstrated by an examiEa ton of the last census in connection with the cleo ton returns in ordinary years that the democrats have actually had a ma jor- ity of the white vote sufficient of the eastern, middle and western states to enable them to control the presidency the negro vote from those states being excluded from computation and the southern electoral vote remaining as at present and that the republicans have only been enabled to win national elections through the cOloTed republi- can vote. This fact speaks for itself. The figures thus indicate that this Is still a white mans government and must necessarily largely remain so-

Fowler Addresses a Great
 Meeting at Williams
CONVERTED DEMOCRATS
The Possibilities OfIrrigatiOn Pointed Out to the People OfCOcOninO-HOn. Geo. H. Maxwell Gave a Business Like Talk at Prescott.

Williams, Ariz., Oct. 15.-(Special.)- )- At the conclusion of one Of the best meetings since the beginning of the campaign, MT. Fowler and other repub- licans were surprised to have demo- crats come forward and make assur- ances of their support, one of whom wore a Mark Smith badge but tore it off and trampled it under foot, saying q can no longer support him (Smith) when there is such a man as you in the field. I am proud to make the change"
 The crowd was equal in size to that gathered for last nights meeting as the people were determined to see and hear the man who is making such great headway as the republican nomi- nee, and it was a great deal larger than the one that heard Smith. It was more appreciative, more attentive and more enthusiastic. Prof. Russell intro- duced MT. Fowler and paid him the very highest compliments in a short but excellent speech.
 Mr Fowler first told the people what could be accomplished by irrigation, increasing the popula ton, the value of property and reducing taxation. Hun dreds of thousands of acres in this vi- cinity he said could and would be re- claimed, and where now is only desert will see green fields worth units of money. It was only a question of time when it would come. He told of the prospects of the Salt River valley, and what had been done there.
 MT. Fowler did not forget Smiths blank record and his remarks were greeted by shouts of approval
 Many votes were added to the al- ready big majority in the northeastern counties. A club is being organized with a big list of names.

The Sixth Day Finds It BIOOdier Than Ever
 But Still Without End
Dispatches From TOkiO Describe It as Japanese Victory Which Does Not Fall Far Short of Russian ROut-St. Petersburg Fearful But at the Last Mo ment Hears Better News From Mukden

There is still an utter lack of of fCiu news in the Russian capital from the scene of operations in Manchurta \2nd the feeling of depression and gloom which has prevailed there is still nanifest. It, however, has been some what lessened by a hint that favorable news had been received from the east ern division of the Russian army.
 In view of the sensational character of this news, however, people were advised to await official confirmation before accepting it fully. All later re- ports of fighting bear out the earlier statements regarding the terribly heavy losses incurred in the six days during winch the battle has ragged.

INCREASED SLAUGHTER.
Tokio Finds Dead Russians Lying
 Everywhere.

TolliO, Oct 15.-Succeeding reports increase the extent of the Russian slaughter in the desperate battle that has ragged for the past week. General Kuroh has reported that his army alone has buried 4,5CO Russian dead. The reports of Generals Nodzu and Ol1u are incomplete, but everything indi- cates that Field Marshal Cyama'S cs- innate of the Russian loss of O.90O men will fall far below the actual mark. A report dealing with the Rus sian losses, received during the night from the Jap9nese field headquarters, says: The loss sustained by the en- erny opposing our right army 90 far as ascertained are as follows: Bodies left near Bensihu on the left bank of the Taitse river, $50; in front of our Bensihd detachDlent, 1900, at Fallen. 800; near TumentsU. 200; before the right column, 200; near Kouin!zCk and north of Tumentzu, J200, near Chien- tao, 300; nccth of Panlassan and near Wumingsu, 15O; hefore the left column near ShaOtakou and nDrthwErd. 300; total, 45OO.
 The number left in ether places has not yet been counted but it is large. The enemy's loss in this direction must exceed twenty thouaaEd. Among the trophies captured are zoo shells. six ammunition wagons and munitions The direction of the center and left armies is under invest igation.

RUSSIANS DRIVEN NORTH.
Tokio Reports that Kuropatkin's
 Move Has Ended in Failure.

G'okio, Oct. 15.-General Kuropat- kin's southern advance has been beaten back and his army is in retreat He is. however. dOSgedly fighting so as to spare the Russian army from an utter rOut.
 Field Marshal Oyamas triumphant troops have driven the Russians north 70 a line along Sha (Sakhe) river They are vigorously pressing the pursuit and will probably infict still n.0re severe damage on KUropatkin's forces.
 As 9 result of the bloody battle uf Oct. f4. the Russians left 2.OOO dead on the field, whjch they lost. Field Mar shal Oyema estimates the Russian losses at over 3O,OO0.
 Fighting continued all along the en- tire line today and tho end is not near. It seems 10 be impossible for the Russians to rally, and they will prob ably be pressed back across the Hun river.

THE MATTER OF REGISTRATION


 politicians to make trouble has stirred up something of tempest in a tea pot" over the question of the regis tration of votes in Skagway. It has been sought to make it appear that "certain interests" are opposed toI registration on account of selfish motives. That nothing of the sort is the fact is we'll known to all those who understand the situation and ths in cludes most of the would-be-trouble- makers.
 In the first place, there is not mem Der of the city council who is not in ia vOr of registration, and who had not so expressed himself before the legal com plications became known.
 An effort has been made to make it appear that the officers of the W. P. X Y. R. are fighting the registration proposition. There is no foundation in fact for this, either, as all of them have expressed themselves as in favor of reg istration laws.
 What opposition there has been among councilmen to registration or dinance has been through a desire to save the city from unnecessary expense and to avoid any just accusation that the council is attempting a grand stand performance.
 The present city attorney of SAag- way, like his predecessors in office and like nearly all the other lawyers who have investigated the matter, believes d registration ordinance would be dead letter. For instance, the act providing for the incorporation of municipalities in Alaska provides that any male per son over the age of 2l years, who Is citizen of the United States or who has declared his intention to become such, and who has resided in Alaska one year and in the municipality six months, is qualified to vote at all municipal elec- tions. The lawyers hold that if per son possess these qualifications the city council, notwithstanding that it has been given authority to make 'rules and regulations governing elections, cannot make a rule or regulation" ]" that will deprive him from exercising the privilege of the franchise with which he has been vested by congress. That being the case, anyone could swear his vote in, just as he can now in the event of his righ: to vote being challenged, whether he had been requested or not. In other words, the only office that a registration Ordi- nance could perform would be to serve as an automatic challenger to any one offering to vote who had not previously registered.
 However, if a registration ordinance can serve no effective purpose it is a good deal like ths homeopathic medi- ciues, it can do no harm, and a major ity of the city council seem to think that the expense which it will incur upon the city, which need not be large, is easier borne than an imputatiOn that any one is sreiusing to throw proper safe guards around the sanctity of the bal lot.
 To accuse any member of the city council of other than the most praise worthy motives in connection with the registration matter, if not ignOrantly done, is unfair and mischievous.

that the results of the referendum

last evening that the three organiza

come united by the disarmament of the
trades council and the Davenport as
