Mr.. RooseveIt's Response.

President Roosevelt shook Mr.. Can
mons hand heartily at the conc fusion
of the notification speech, and then
mounted the chair to deliver his adj.
dress in response. So cordial recep-
ton was given to him that it was
some time before he could proceed.
He was in excellent voice. and though
he followed the printed text of his
speech, he seldom referred to it. The
address was punctuated with applause.

GREAT AUTOMOBILE RACE.
Long Island the Competing Ground of
Four Nations.

Amateur and professional AUTOMOBILE
lists, including some of the most expert
racing men in the world, met in a re-
markable competition over a 30-mile
course on Long Island. The event was
the first contest for the w. X. Wander
bilt, Jr, automobile cup. 1t was inter-
national in character, and although the
trophy was only offered last June eigh
teen cars entered, representing four ma
tionS-the United States, Germany
France and Italy. The 30-mile course
was traverSed ten times, making a trife
over 300 miles for the route, and the
club whose member won the race will
hold the trophy for the coming year.
This is the first time in America that
anything on so extensive a scale in au-
tomobile racing has ever been attempted.
II was practically the Gordon Bennett
race transported to this country. The
distance and the conditions were practi-
cally the same, while the fact that three
of the cars We're competitors in the last
Gordon Bennett race in Germany and
that five cars took part in the famous Ar
dennes race in France impaired an inter-
national flavor to the event that has
never been seen in automobile circles here
before
There was no limit to the speed that
the ears might go. The first one in was
the winner. The 30-mile circuit gave an
admirable test of all sorts of road conli-
tions in some places being smooth enough
for speed greater than the best railroad
locomotive can attain, while in other
places it was necessary for safety to
slow down a bit.
To appreciate the remarkable speed at
tanned by the leading contestants in the
race one has only to make a few COMPARE
IONS. The winner, Heath, covered the
800 miles of the course in 5 hours %
minutes and 45 seconds, or at an average
speed of about ffty-ive miles an hour,
which is considerably faster than the
average speed maintained by passenger
trains in twenty-hour run over the 900
miles from Chicago to New York He
made this time ON a public road and in
addition to guarding against chance OBJ
Stacles on the way had to slacken his
pace to admit of three fairly sharp turns
on each of his ten trips around the 80
mile triangle of the course. He was de-
layed, also, by a broken tire.
This country was represented by FIVE
cars. One of these is an Italian ma
chine of 80 horse power, which covered
go miles in Italy at rate of 90 miles
an hour. Another machine, the Florida.
owned by William K. Vanderbilt, made a
mile in 80 seconds in Florida last win
ter.
The Long Island race. now a subject
of discussion among automobiles in all
parts of the world, is hailed as another
proof of the great possibilities of the
automobile. Meantime, the automobiles
pay the penalty of their reckless daring
in holding these contests.

BOTH REPULSED IN ATTACKS.
Japs Fall in Masses and Russians Suf-
fer Later at Port Arthur.

fer Later at Port Arthur.
The London Daily Telegraph's Chefoo
correspondent says that Sept. "a and %
the Japanese made repeated and reckless
ly brave attempts to capture High hill at
Port Arthur. Owing to the destruction
of earthworks their advance was COM
pleteIy unprotected and under the rays
of the searchlight the Russian machine
guns swept them down in masses.
More troops, however, came on with
fanatical bravery" the correspondent
adds, "leaping over the bodies of their
dead comrades Then the Russians, EN-
boldened by their success, made sortie.
The japanese replied with machine guns.
It was the first time the Japanese had
been able to entice the Russians from
their shelters, and they worked terrible
havoc among them.
1.-THE scene the next morning was ap-
Railing. The hillside was strewn with
mingled Russian and japanese bodies,
some of them gripped with CHASTITY real
ism.
"a brief message was received on torn
paper. in Chinese, and signed by Gen.
Stoessel. 1t states that all had been
quiet since Sept. %, and that the Jap
arcse again had asked for and were re-
fused a truce to bury their dead

AT PORT ARTHUR.
Stoessse1 Recounts Staying 10000 Japs
Before Fortress.

Emperor Nicholas has received Gen.
Stoessel's official report Of the desperate
four days assault of the besiegers upon
Port Arthur from Sept. 10 to Sept. Is,
from which it appears that the unofi-
cial report from Chefoo was by no means
exaggerated. The japanese displayed
frenzied bravery, but they lost 10000
men and their only success was the cap
ture of two redoubts guarding the water
works.
The Jauanese prepared for the assault
by a general bombardment and then
launched their attacks simultaneously
from the north and west. Night and day
they fought under cover Of continual
bombardment from their siege guns ana
finally reached the redouhts on the north
side, but only after the defense there
had been completely demolished by shell
fire from the west.
The Japanese efforts were directed
chiefly against the commanding position
ON High mountain, which faces Pigeon
bay, slightly south of Fort Etseshan. Inc
mountain is 500 feet high and If 1t had
fallen it's possession would have given
the japanese a tremendous lever against
the chain Of inner defenses. The car
mage there was terrible and eliminated
Sept. %, when the japanese succeeded
in reaching and occupying the Russian
armored shelter trenches, whence they
expected about the next day to storm the
summit.
During the night Lieut. Poggorsky of
the navy, at the head of detachment Of
volunteers, descended on the trenches
and blew them up with pyroxylin bombs,
producing a panic among the besciegers,
who fed, leaving the mountain side
strewn with dead.
The loss of the water works was not
considered vital, as there is a fresh
water lake and numerous wells as we'll
