DlSMANTLED SCHOONERS
IN PATH OF STEAMERS,
Mallory Line Steamer Denver Sights
Two at Sea.

Mallory Line Steamer Denver Sights
Two at Sea.
New York, Oct. 20.-Two dismantled,
abandoned, waterlogged schooner
hulks, probably victims of the fierce
gale which recently swept the South
ern Atlantic coast. were sighted by
Capt. Evans of the Mallory Line
steamer Denver which arrived here to-
day from Galveston and Key West
One of the wrecks was seen off
Georgetown, S. c.. and is thought to
have been the British schooner Syan-
ara, the crew of which was brought
here yesterday by the steamer Apache.
She was floating very low in the wa
ter and her after part was burning
slowly.
The other hulk, which was lying
about thirty miles off the Florida
coast, was that of a white, three
masted schooner, apparently Nova
Scotian. The seas were breaking over
her fore and aft. and there was no
sign Of life on board.
Many bundles of shingles were
floating around her. Both wrecks were
lying in the path of coastwise steam
ers and are a menace to navigation.
The Denver had a boisterous passage
through the Gulf of Mexico and up
the Florida coast, but came through
without damage, p f.ft

KNOX AS TRUST SPEAKER
TO BANQUET CROWD.
Former Attorney General Sounds
Blast on Republican Horn.

Former Attorney General Sounds
Blast on Republican Horn.
New York, Oct. Ex-senator Philan-
der c. Knox. former United States
Attorney General, was rendered re-
ception here tonight by the Union
League Club.
He made an address reviewing the
attitude of the Republican party to-
ward the great corporations. declaring
that party to have made a splendid
record of constructive legislation"
Discussing the Democratic attitude
Mr.. Knox quoted from the New York
state platform of last April the
declaration that Corporations char
tered by the state must be subject to
lust regulation by the state"
Mr.. Knox drew the inference from
this that the Democrats considered the
Republican party has gone too far
as it has acted on the belief that Con-
gress has the power to regulate cor
porations created by the state if 1t be
essential to do so to protect the free
dom of interstate commerce.
Mr.. Knox concluded the Democratic
party stood for the notification of
this power. Judge Parker says leave
the trusts to the common law, which
means leaves them alone, as the COM
mon law furnishes no remedy for COM
binations in restraint of trade"

SEVEN MONTHS OF
FRUITLESS STRINGS.
Cuban Congress Comes to Close
After Doing Nothing.

Havana, Oct. 20.-After seven
months of fruitless sittings the SEES
sion of the Cuban Congress closed to-
night.
The fight in the House over seats
continued throughout the session and
resulted in the seating Of nearly all
the Moderate Coalition contestants.
The Nationalist, however, succeed
ed nearly always in breaking quorums
because the Moderate majority We're
rarely able to muster the full member
snip.
Whether any act of the session can
be construed as legal will shortly be
determined by the Supreme Court, In
an action which is pending to test the
constitutionality of the law prohibiting
the expectation of palm bark, which
Is used in the United States as well
as in Cuba for packing tobacco.
The ground Of this action is that
the Moderate majority disregarded the
constitutional requirement that two
thirds should constitute a quorum.
The Moderates ruled that the two
thirds provision does not apply 10 daily
sessions. The appropriations for pub
lie works asked for by President Palma
and immigration, municipal govern
ment and other pressing measures, have
been postponed to the session, which
will begin in November.

"Thtlebat Titmouse," Mr.. Hill az

He followed this up by humorousiy

they were. In the same fashion as did

BRYAN FEELS CERTAIN
OF OLD INDIANA.
What n Vote for Parker and Davis
Means to People.

Louisville, KY, Oct. 2O.-"The Dem
ocrats of Indiana seem to be ready to
vote now" said William ]. Bryan
when he concluded his tour of In
diana at New Albany tonight
The closing day of the tour through
Indiana was regarded by Mr.. Bryan
and his party as the most successful
of all, in respect to the size and en-
thusiasm OF the audiences.
Il firmly believe that Indiana will
return a plurality for Parker and Da-
Wis" said Mr.. Bryan in opening his
speech at New Albany. THE observa-
lions made during the trip which I
have just finished reveal a most en-
couraging state of affairs.
There is little or no trace of dis
affection among the silver Democrats,
and there is no reason for the gold
Democrats to feel dissatisfied. The
evidences of unity and enthusiasm
among the Democrats are so plentiful
that it seems the only apparent hope
for Republican success would appear
to lie in their polling the entire doubt
full vote of the state
Immediately on concluding his New
Albany speech Mr.. Bryan made a
dash into Kentucky, addressing a
great throng which filled Phoenix Hall
Garden "A vote for Parker and Da-
Wis" said Mr.. Bryan, SIS a long step
toward the amelioration of special
privileges granted to the few at the
expense of the many, condition of
affairs which has in no small part
been brought about by the Republican
party's tariff system"

TOM WATSON CHARGES
DELEGATES WERE BOUGHT.
Says PIutooracy Found IL Would Re
Cheaper That Way.

Says riutocracy Found II Would Re
Cheaper That Way.
Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 20.-The Pop
ulist campaign in Marion county was
opened tonight by Thomas r. Watson
of Georgia, the party's candidate for
President, who spoke at a mass meet
ing. Mr.. Watson said in part:
The plutocrat section of the Demo-
cratic party is as much opposed to a
the Republicans are. 1t cost plutoc-
racy $1O,OOO.000 to defeat Bryan. It
would have cost them twice as much
this year to defeat Hearst. Therefore,
they bought the nomination for Parker.
1t was cheaper to buy up a few hun
dred delegates than to buy millions of
voters.
Mr.. Bryan must know that the
Cleveland crowd is in control of Par
ker, and is no better now than 1t was
in 1894. The appetite of the leopard
may be a little keener than it was
then, but he has not changed his spots
But suppose Parker should be de-
feated. Then what attitude would Mr..
Bryan occupy? He would, according
to his own declared purpose begin to
reorganize his party in favor of the
various reforms for which l am max
ing this campaign. and 1t would not
be until the next national convention
in 1908 that he can know whether he
will triumph over the plutocratic ele-
ment or be defeated by it again.
IF he should triumph again, as he
did in 1885, they can knife him again
n Qcilx IAxF 4 hoy
triumph over him again, as they did in
1904, he will submit TO defeat again
just as he did this year. Mr.. Bryan
plan offers to the people no hope of
reform. whereas if they will join the
broadly Jeffersonian movement, which
l am organizing, we will build up a
real party of opposition to the Repub-
iicans, unhampered by the divisions
which make it impossible for the Dem
ocratic party to enact remedial legis-
lation even when they have the OPP
portunity"

Corps will be the next to start for
the front. This corps is stationed at
Vitebsk. and belongs TO the military
district of Wilma, which, as already an
nounced by the Associated Press. is
going out as a part of the Second Man
churian army under the former chief
of the Wilma district, Gen. Grippen-

Wilma on Nov. s, direct for Hardin.
Emperor Nicholas has received no
report from Gen. Stoessel, the military
commander at Port Arthur, since Oct.
10.
A correspondent of the Russky at
Vladivostok sends to that paper a
graphic account OF the fighting by Gen.
Chickering's corps on Oct. IL. when the
Russian right flank was broken. 1t
now develops that disaster was averted
solely by the timely arrival of Gen.
Soboleff's Sixth Siberian Corps, COM
posed almost entirely of reservists, and
many regiments of which were expert
encing their first taste of actual war.
The correspondent telegraphs that
Gen. Oku's des .,erate onslaught forced
back Gen. Bilderling and drove in
Stakhovich's corps, which was guard
ing Chickering's right. The situation
was most critical; but the Sixth Corps,
which had been held in reserve,
promptly came up and supported Bill
derling, and things assumed a brighter
aspect.
The fighting was exceedingly furious.
Two reserve corps regiments which had
not been before under fire, bore the
brunt of the Japanese advance and
obstinately held their ground. The fol-
lowing day the battle was resumed
with the fullest intensity. The Japa-
nese threw themselves headlong
against the positions of the Sixth and
Seventeenth Corps. The fighting con-
tinued the whole day, despite a terrific
downpour of rain and fearful thun-
derstorm. A Japanese battery dashed
out from Gen. Oku's right and opened
deadly fire upon the Russian
trenches until the Tenth Artillery Bri-
gade came into action

along the front yesterday and that
in spite of the soggy condition of the

The Japanese sentinels fired and re-

along the line, but near Sandepu the
Cossacks unexpectedly ran into good

guns. The latter opened a murderous
fire on the Russians, killing MANY
horses and MORALLY wounding Capt.
Turgenieff, but all the Cossacks sue
ceeded in getting away. Not one was
killed on the field.

RUSSIANS STILL HARP
ON LONE TREE HILL.
Retaking of That Position VIII Not
Die in Mukden.

Mukden, Oct. 2O.--A Russian corre-
spondent of the Associated Press sends
the following account of the attempt
of the Japanese to retake Lone Tree
hill, after the capture of that impor-
tant position by the Russians:
1.-The night of Oct. IS the Japanese
brought out their rapid fire guns to
the front, and we felt through the
darkness, though we could scarcely
see, a desperate attack launched
against the whole line.
Some say the object was to retake
fifteen guns that we had wrested from
them, while others are of the opinion
that a general attack had been planned
of which this movement was
mere diversion the main
object being to recapture the
vital position of Poutiloff, formerly
Lone Tree hill.
"In any event, the enemy found Ku-
ropatkin at home. and they were not
kept long knocking at his front door.
The first warning of their coming was
the rattle of quick f1rers concentrated
upon the Nineteenth Regiment. We
kept silent while their artillery thought
they were paving the way for the
Japanese attack. then came the infan-
try and we opened with the favorite
Russian volley firing.
''It was pitch blackness, but as the
darkness was lit with the glare of our
volleys we could family see the shad-
owy waves of the enemy's infantry
breaking, and sinking, as they tried to
breast our trenches. The first fierce
ness of their attack spent itself. Then
came an unaccountable panic that
sometimes grips even brave men in
darkness. They seemed to think we
were advancing to attack, for they
turned and fled in confusion.
"Now we have quiet nights. The
troops are resting. Japanese reports
of their victories are baseless."
