FAIRBANKS IN CHICAGO.
Last Speech of Western Campaign Is
 Short and to the Point.

Chicago, October 13.-Completing a day of speech-making through Illinois. Charles w. Fairbanks, republican candi- an audience that filled the First Regiment armory to overhowing.
 This Is the first tie that Senator Fair banks has spoken in Chicago since he received the nomination, and so much enthusiasm was manifested by his listen CTS, that the meeting resembled the viz orous rallies of 1896 and 1900.
 On account of a long journey to Gala fornia finished today. senator Fairbank' s remarks were brie- and pointed, bringing forth cheers. To add to the enthusiasm of the gathering Joseph c. Cannon, speak CT of the house of representatives ad- dressed the audience in his characteristic manner. Senator Fairbanks said in part
 Standing here tonight where William Mckinley, our martyred president once addressed you. the best greeting that I can extend to you Is that Theodore Roose- welt the leader of the republican party today stands for exactly the same prin- ciples as President Mckinley and these principles will not be changed one iota when President Roosevelt is returned to the White House November s. Our op- ponents say that the gold standard has been irrevocably established. This is not exactly the fact as congress may reverse and undo 1t tomorrow if 1t sees fit, but such a thing will never happen as long as the republican party Is in power. To insure the fixture of the money ques- ton, it is necessary for the republican party to have a majority in congress, and this fact should not be lost sight of during this campaign.
 Prom my observations during my trip to fthe Pacific coast, I can assure you in good faith that if the conditions throughout the west can be taken as a criterion of the sentiment throughout the country, then the republican party will record a greater victory this year than 1t did four ears ago."

velously. Every inch of ground they lost was soaked in blood.
 Our troops not only fought with cour- age, but with unprecedented coolness. Of one company only seventeen remained; every officer had been killed, and pri- yate soldier commanded the remnant. We frequently attacked with the bayonet. but the Japanese avoided hand-to-hand fighting whenever they could, moving us down with shell and machine gun fire, and if this failed to stop our rush, they evacuated the position, throwing hand grenades and covering the captured posi- tion with a hail of shells and shrapnel from their nearest batteries. Thus we suffered heavy losses, but strange to say, few were killed, by far the greater num- Der being wounded.
 The doctors behaved magnificentiy.
 Cavalry Is Decimated.
 Several squadrons of Japanese cavalry and two battalions of infantry were wiped out in attempting flanlzing move ment. They tried to work around our rear, but were cut off, and our volleys gradually decimated their ranks No Japanese reached our lines or returned to his own.
 The Japanese rifle seemed very defec- tive.
 At one point several batteries of Japa- nese attempted to surround two of our companies, but the Voronski regiment. coming gallantly to rescue, brought the Japanese under a heavy fire. The Japa- nese thereupon raised Red Cross flag and began to swear In Russia, shouting Stop shooting, you are killing your own men," The Voronsd regiment paused, though they were certain they had made no mistake, having seen a Japanese sig nal meaning "send up reserves"
 Shifting their ground the Voronski reg iment poured In fresh volleys upon the Japanese flank and rear at range of thirty-five to fifty yards. The grounA was covered with dead Japanese, and the re- mainder fled in confusion. Our soldiers shouted their satisfaction at having pun ished the Japanese for trick they have often played when in a close corner. The Voronshi regiment, however, did not re- tire soon enough, for Japanese reserves coming up caught them in a heavy cross fire, under which they suffered consid- erably.
