IT IS pARKER's WORKSHOP. !"
Pressncnt Candidate Has Prac-
teal Control of the Democratic
National Campaign.

New York, Oct, A glance into
Judge Parker's private reception room
at his apartments at the Hotel Seville
reveals a political workshop equipped
almost as completely as his library at
Rosemount. Il only needs view Of
the stacks of correspondence and i'm
posing looking documents to corrobo-
rate the report that the democratic
presidential candidate intends spend
ing a great deal of his time between
now and election day In New York,
where he can keep in close touch with
the campaign.
That Judge Parker Is acquainting
himself with the minutest details Of
the canvass in every one Of the states
placed by either party In the doubtful
column Is evident from his discus
sions with campaign managers. Many
reports are being made to Judge Par
ker by individual workers which do
not pass through the hands Of the
national committee. Every letter that
goes out, unless II be some formal ac-
acknowledgement Of service, is read and
signed by the judge. In this political
workshop the candidate little resembles
the dignified man so much photo
graphed. Frequently he wears a
bobbed-off sack coat, with elbows shiny
and thin, and he does not always
change to his frock when visitors are
announced.s

THINKS LEpROSY DURABLE.
Surgeon General OF the Army 10
Treating Dread Disease with En-
couraging Prospects.

Washington, Oct. Am his annual
report Surgeon General R. NJ. O'Reilly
shows that the general health Of the
army has improved From an average
strength of 1909 American troops In
the Philippines, 1,074 were invalided
home, a rate of 5G.44 per thousand.
There were 271 deaths among the
troops in the Philippines. so that the
losses by death and invaliding amount
ed to 1857 per thousand. Contrary
to what might be expected, in view OF
the general belief in the prevalence
and severity of malarial fever in the
Philippines, It was found necessary to
send only SO such cases home.
The surgeon general believes that 1t
is possible to cure leprosy. At any rate
decidedly favorable results have fol-
lowed the treatment Of the leper SOL
der now held in isolation at one OF
the southern army posts. The nodules
and swellings on the body have become
either greatly reduced or have disap-
peared entirely. Free use Is made OF
the Roentgen rays in treating this case
and the man is now permitted to wan
der about the island at his will, pro-
vided he does not enter any building
save his own or approach any one
nearer than eight feet.

ALMOST IN A PANIC.
Japs viciously Attacked the Rus
slams and Forced a Retreat.
The "Tcrrible Cossacks" Again
Showed Their Inability 20 With
stand Terrible Crossfire from
the Jap Batteries.

Mukden, Oct. 4.-Couriers who ar
rived here after forced ride from
Gen. Samsonoff's field headquarters
bring information of sudden retreat
by that general in the face Of strong
and rapid forward movement by Gen.
Oku's entire army. The abrupt re-
sumption of the aggressive by Marshal
Oyama's left wing began Saturday. In
stead of advancing with their custo-
mary caution, the Japanese rushed in
to action in way that indicated either
sudden accession Of recklessness or
extreme confidence In their strength.
Gen. Oku attacked Samsonoff's Cos
sacks with infantry and dragons and
in less than 20 minutes the entire Rus
sian front at that point was raked by
severe cross fire from the enemy's
batteries and was in retreat. Several
Cossack horse batteries were disman-
tied before they could be swung into
action. Two sotnias of cavalry, fight
ing dismounted, were thrown on the
center to check the advance, but were
beaten back with heavy loss. In a
quarter of an hour the enemy followed
that success by turning back both
wings of Samonoff's division and weak
ening his center with concentrated
rife and machine gun fire.
