WAR IN THE EAST.

There has been recently heavy fight
ing around Port Arthur: the japanese
have stormed positions with losses of g.
900. Fort Kuropatkin has been captur-
ed. The fall Of this fort gives the Japa-
nese control of the source of the Russian
garrison's water supply. The big forts
guarding the north, northeast and north
west sides of the city are now threatened
The mountain fort was storrned by the
japanese. A terrific hand-to-hand fight
occurred inside the fort in which nearly
all the Russians were killed.
General Kuropatkin's star is setting
The Car appears to have lost faith in
him as the commaDder-in-chief Of the
Manchurian army. Under an imperial
rescript just issued the army is divided.
General Kuropatkin is to command the
first army and Major General Grippen-
berg the second army. Grand Duke
Nicholas Michaeloyitch will, it is believ-
ed, become the commander-in-chief Of
the Mancburian armies, which will be
increased to 10000 men. Viceroy
Alexieff will likely be recalled.
Accompanying the several hundred
thousand more men to be sent to the
front will be 600 field and rapid-6re
guns. Meanwhile the japanese are pre-
pairing to send 100, 900 more men into
Manchuria.
The Car pays tribute to "the high
warlike qualities displayed by the Japan
e.e" in a letter to General Grippenberg,
appointing him commander Of the Second
Manchurian army, to succeed Lienten-
ant General Linevitch. The Russian forces
10 Manchuria are thus divided into two
armies.
While the japanese armies are slowly
advancing upon General Kuropatkin's
force at the Tie Pass the scene of active
hostilities has shifted to Port Arthur,
where crisis is imminent. For week
general assaults by the japanese land
and sea forces upon the Russian Glib
raltar have followed each other in such
rapid succession as to we'll nigh exhaust
General stoessel's force of brave de-
tenders.
The japanese have captured a num-
Der of important positions, including
Fort Kuropatkin, which protected the
source of the Russian garrison's water
supply. With his water supply cut off
and six or more forts in the second line
of defense captured, General Stoessel
must soon face the inevitable. The
japanese losses during the past week
are estimate at 1000.

Judge Parker's Letter.

Esopus, N. Y, Sept. 26.-Judge
Parker is already the recipient of several
kilograms expressing varied degrees OF
satisfaction and delight over his letter
of acceptance. The reply to President
Roosevelt's challenge in the pension or
der case seems to have struck Il respons
i've chord in the senders of these lauda-
tory messages. The nominee spent the
morning reading editorial comment on
the letter and-in going over correspond
ence that increases rather than dimin-
ishe, daily. Just before noon, he
mounted his saddle horse and, with Mrs.
Parker, rode over his entire estate. No
visitors are expected today. 1t is thought
that the frequent visits to New York
will have the effect of transferring the

Cyclone i'm Chicago.

Chicago, Sept. pa cyclone swept
over Chicago last night, but fortunately
it kept mostly to the upper air, touching
the ground in but two places, at Hills
dale, sixteen miles west of the city, and
at Twenty Second street and Kedzie
avenue, wrecking houses and stores and
imperiling scores OF lives. Where it
did touch it destroyed everything in its
path. The damage is roughly estimated
at from s25, 900 to $50, 600. Nopersons
were killed or seriously wounded, though
several we're severely bruised by being
blown about by the fierce wind. The
storm struck the city at8:l5 o'clock and
over its entire area there was a stiff blow
and heavy down pour of rain, accom-
panied by a terrific electrical display.
Both in the city and where the storm
reached its height at Hillsdale houses
we're unroofed, chimneys blown over.
telephone and electric light wires twist
ed into ropes and left fiat on the ground,
sidewalks were picked up and carried
away and windows were blown in.

Attempt to Break Jail.

Atchison, Kansas, Sept. 26.-Walter
Scott, Thomas Bean, Clyde Bean and
John Osborne. prisoners in the county
Jail here, made two desperate attempts
to escape Sunday, afternoon. Scott was
killed in the second attempt. Joseph
Miller, the jailer, went into the Jail room
at one o'clock TO take dinner to the pris-
oners and the four men attacked him.
Breaking away from them, Miller pulled
his revolver and the men ran to cover.
Sheriff William Kiff appeared at this
juncture with a riot gun, loaded with
buckshot. Miller let Kiff into the Jail
room. Suddenly the four men close to-
gether made a rush at Kiff aud Miller,
and Kiff poured the buckshot into Scott
who fell to the floor liteless. The Other
three prisoners then gave themselves up.

FEARFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT

Two trains on the Southern Railway,
carrying heavy lists Of passengers, came
together in frightful head-on collisio n,
near Hodges, Tenn, Saturday, killing
So people and injuring 100, several of
whom will probably die. This appalling
loss of life and manning Of the living
resulted apparently from the disregard
ing of orders given to the two trains to
meet at a station which has for a long
time beer their regular meeting point.
The possibility exists that the Inflated
engineer may have been asleep, or that
death had suddenly overtaken him be-
fore Newmarket, the meeting point, was
reached. But nothing is known save
that the orders were not obeyed.
The trains we're on time and not max
ing over thirty-fve miles an hour, yet
the impact as they rounded curve and
game suddenly upon each other was
frightful. Both engines and the greater
portion of both trains were demolished,
and why the orders were disregarded or
misinterpreted probably will never be
known, as the engineers of the two trains
were crushed to death, their bodies re-
naming for hours under the wreckage Of
the locomotives. The collision was be-
tween eastbound passenger train No. IL
and westbound passenger train No. Is,
from Bristol. Relief trains were dis
patched from Knoxville within sn hour,
and all physicians in the vicinity of the
wreck were doing what they could when
the Knoxville corps arrived. Both en-
gines and all Of the coaches Of No. is
were literally demolished, the smoker
and baggage car completely,

Rainbow street, yesterday cut the soles

when she refused to return, slashed her

The police learned of the affair by
reason of the bloody foot prints on the

Hon. IsADOR RAYNER, who will be-
come the colleague of Senator German
in the United States Senate March 4
next, thinks the democrats should lose
no time in aggressively fighting the re-
publcans on the tariff and other ques-
tons. He doesn't believe in hesitating
and regards the tariff as the foremost
issue. With a courageous fight all along
the line, he boldly declares, democratic
victory in the presidential election must
follow. Among other things Mr.. Ray
ner says;
| do not think that in this campaign
there ought to be any compromise OF
democratic principles. If we have the
courage to assert our convictions, APP
pearances indicate that the victory will
be ours, but if we raise flag of truce,
and yeer aud waiver npOn the cardinal
tenets of our faith, we will go down to
defeat. 1t has been said, | know, that
the lines between the parties are very
closely drawn. | do not accept this
view of the situation. The parties are
as wide apart as ever their traditions are
different their principles are in conflict
with each other, and their turture pur-
poses in all the important branches of
the federal administration can never
cOalesce. Not only this, but the candi-
dates of the parties are so entirely at
variance with each other in their train
ing, their beliefs and their policies, that
1T is idle to say there are no distinctive
seatures in this campaign, and that it
should be conducted either in a negative
way or simply by an aggressive attack
np0n the personal and political traits of
the respective candidates. We ought
never to abandon the issue of the tariff.
The democratic platform says that tariff
for protection is robbery, and / yield
my willing consent to this proposition.
Our whole enterprise in the Philippines
is abhorrent to every conception of con-
stitutiona! government such as we en- Joy.
This whole scheme from its inception
contributes dark page to the annals Of
American history, and the student OF
our institutions in the future, instead of
recounting our exploits upon these ISL
ands with pride and patriotic fervor,
will look upon the whole picture in all
of its hideous coloring with reproach
and shame. The race question has
been unfortunately, but distinctly, raised

early dealings in the stock market today.
Most of the railroad list improved frac-

of substantial fractions. Assertions were

Although surrounded by Gordon Of

prosperous young farmer of Highland
county, Va, is being bombarded by IN
seen enemies to an extent that renders
life unsafe. The attacks began month

ing came of it and the rocky showers
increased. The house stands 10 an open

the largest planters in this section are
making arrangements to run day ant
night forces 10 the fields. They vii
start tonight picking the staple by moon,

To overcome it, farmers start picking al

ties, like men, make mistakes, but
there is hope for reform when reason

States are gradually solving this difficult
and dangerous problem until the Presi-
dent raised the flag of revolt and made
il plain to the intelligence and refine
ment and culture of the South that
he intended, if he could, to place the
negro upon a political, if not a social
equality with them. Our candidate
understands the constitution. He has
been bred in its traditions and is trained
in the school of its philosophy, and he
will never consciously violate it or usurp
IFS functions. If President Roosevelt
should be continued in power there is
no predicting on what rocks he will
run the ship Of State, and if be
could increase his own lnstre OF
renown, with what internal disquietude
he will distract us and with what con-
tentions he will entangle us in every
section and quarter of the globe where
he can find pretense for interference OF
an outlet for his tempestuous and turbu'
lent ambition.
