Hon. Daniel /. Davis, OF Pontac,
who claims the honor of having
discovered Prof. Ferris, and pre-
scented his name at the Democratic
State convention, in an address be-
fore a small audience at Harris hall
St Louis Saturday evening, stated
that it was already conceded Thy

be the next governor Of Michigan.
But" he said, do you think Mr..
Ferris would thank you for electng
him without his running mate the
Lieutenant-Governor, the Senate
and the House Of Representatives
No. He would not.
While there is not the remoteSt
chance of either Of their ambitions
being realized, yet it would be wei
to give the matter serious COnSidera

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, in

Judge Parker to task for inviting in his

Democratic and Republican administra-

for a repetition Of the empty dinner pail
of 1898.
During Cleveland's last administra-
ton, he said, "the interest-bearing debt
of the United States was increased s262,

ESTIMATES COMING
They Think the Judge Does Not Un.
derstand Government Reports
Evidently Judge Parker Has Struck
Them in a Sore Place.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 24.-Acting
Secretary of the Treasury II. A. Tay-
lor today issued the following state
ment: THE attention OF the Depart
ment has been called to the state
ment twice made by Judge Parker
that there have been administration
orders forbidding the publication Of
information especially about the man
agement and condition of the Treas
ury Department, and also about RI
ers issued TO govern departmental &C
tions generally. The only order is
sued concerning estimates of expen-
ditures was that no subordinate
should make any estimates public ur
til the head of the department had
gone over them with the President
and they had been approved. Before
Mr.. Parker made his second stata-
ment in reference to the order to
Withhold information, the Postoffice,
Interior and Agricultural departments
and District of Columbia had made
public their estimates. The estimates
of other departments will be given
out in the ordinary course of business
as soon as they are approved. Judge
Parker has evidently been led into
error on that point. He seems tn
think that the current monthly ex-
pense accounts have some relation
to those estimates"
In closing the statement, Taylor
says: IF Judge Parker would apply
to the Treasury Department for in
formation as to the methods of con-
Quoting government business and the
condition Of public finances he would
get prompt and accurate information
and avoid the embarrassment of be-
ing led into palpable errors"

The Firing Described.

London, Oct. 24.-The mate of the
trawler Mino which arrived at Hull
bringing the news of the Russian
squadron firing on the British fishing
fleet, said today: Between 200 and
300 shots were fired. The first vessel
in the line did the most firing, but
| think two others also fired several
shots. Our whole feet was under
the searchlights which nearly blinded
US. The Russians came within Jess
than quarter of a mile of u.s." Cap
tain Parker of the trawler Magpie de-
clared that it was impossible for the
Russians TO mistake the trawlers for
torpedo boats. He added, '"The whole
affair lasted about twenty minutes.
Not one fourth of the shots could
have taken effect. When the firing
ceased the ships disappeared as
quickly as they came up"

ed officer tells the following grue-

treat to Mukden: THE Japanese COL
tinually tricked our men during night
fighting by shouting in Russian,
which scores Of them seemed TO
know. During the confused fighting
which took place on our retreat we
fired G volley into a brown mass of
men, to be met with the appalling
answer, me strelaite, mui Russkie,"
Don't fire. We are Russians.) Our sol
diers ceased firing, and were immed-
lately met by a volley which knocked
dozen men over Our men were fu-
rious enough to butcher their own
parents. They surrounded the Japan
ese, and slaughtered every one q
them, giving no quarter. The next
night a similar incident occurred.
But hearing the treacherOus words,
We are Russians our men refused
to cease firing Luckily their shoot
ing was bad, for the 'Japs' instead of
shooting back, groaned and swore in
Enthusiastically genuine Russian. When
we got over to them we found that
we haC been firing on our own men.
A number were severely wounde l."
