CANADIAN CAMPAIGN.
Lively Canvass in Progress Over Elec

ST. JOHN. N. B.. October 19.-The cam
paign for the election of members of the
Canadian parliament on November 3.
upon which depends the fate of Sir Will
frid Laurier's government. is being We
hemently contested in all parts Of the
country.
In the eastern provinces candidates
have been nominated by both the liberals
and conservatives in practically every
constituency. The liberals are relying on
the prosperity of the country and on
their program for the construction of a
trans-continental railroad.
The railroad plan is unpopular in this
city and the conservatives claim they
will win both seats in st. John. The lib
erals hope to retain their large majorities
in Quebec and Nova Scotia and thus be
able to offset the conservatives strength
elsewhere.

An Uninterrupted Success

''This form of government has had TWEEN
ty-five years of incrhasingl and uninter-

of Washington but the entire District of
Columbia, has remarkably developed and

surrounding territory of the District, with

RUSSIANS DRIVEN BACK
OF OPERATIONS ON THE
JAPANESE LEFT.
Early Success Led the Latter to Be
lieve That the Way to Mukden
Had Been Opened.

The following dispatch has been received
from the headquarters Of Gen. Oku's left
army in the field October IA, pm. (de-
layed in transmission), via Tientsin. Octo-
Der Is. ct will be noted that later dis
patches have been received from this cor
respondent Of the Associated Press with
Gen. Okus army, bringing the fighting on
the Japanese left up to Sunday evening.
October 49,
The way to Mukden is apparently open.
The last remnants of the Russian forces on
the plain north of Yentai are being driven
out of their position by heavy shell fire.
The Russians appear to have been utterly
defeated. at least on the right flank They
are retiring hastily. and it is hardly likely
that they will make another stand south of
Mukden unless along the Hun river
The strategy of the Japanese apparently
has been entirely successful, and the CO.
operation of the left, center and right
armies has been perfect. The battle began
unexpectedly Sunday night, October O.,
by an attack on hill five miles north of
Yentai, which the Russians had begun to
fortify.
The right column of the left army adj
vanced against this hill on that night and
drove the Russians out after hand-to- hand
encounter.
On the same night the center and left
columns advanced and took UP positions in
a line of villages four miles north of Yentai
placing their artillery and preparing for a
conflict on Monday.
On Monday morning the japanese began
Smelling the Russian positions The Rus
SLAMS answered briskly. and a terrific artil-
lery duel was kept up all day. At night
when IT ended the result was not decisive.
During the night the Japanese moved
within fifteen hundred yards of the Rus
sian lines, taking up position along a line
of villages.
Fighting Week Ago Yesterday.
During Tuesday the japanese repulsed
fierce Russian attacks, the Russians three
times dashing across the plain separating
the two lines against the Japanese trenches
and recoiling from the shock.
All that day the field guns of both sides
poured shrapnel into the trenches. while
the infantry fired almost continuous yoIleys
across the plain.
The Russians lost heavily in the attacks
the attackers being almost annihilated.
During the night the Russians withdrew
for some 1900 yards and the Japanese took
up an advanced position at the same time
Early on Wednesday morning the Rus
slams made an attempt to drive the Japa-
nese back, but the attempt was not sue

During the morning the Japanese contin-

O'Clock in the afternoon the Japanese made
their last rush. arriving at the Russian po-

Is AWAITING ITS TURN
SMITHS CASE FOLLOW
ING THE USUAL ROUTINE.
Judge Advocate General Davis Will
Take It Up in Its Regular Order
Possible Politics in Agitation.

Secretary Taft and the other officials OF
the War Department have so far failed to
show any excitement or alarm over the
case of Hospital Steward John T. Smith.
stationed at Fort Mott, N. j., whose dis
charge from the army flor the good of the
service was recommended by Contract
Surgeon Sparrenberger, the post surgeon,
because he was married to a colored wO-
man. AS stated In yesterdays Star, the
surgeons recommendation was approved by
General Grant, commanding the Depart
ment of the East, and by General OReilly,
surgeon general of the army, who has SUI
pervision over the hospital corps.
The Case Awaiting It's Turn.
The case is following the usual routine
and Is neither being expedited nor delayed.
AS it involves an unusual and unprecedent-
ed question. it was deemed best to have it
reviewed by the judge advocate general Of
the army before submitting 1t to the action
of the Secretary of War. who is the only
official authorized to peremptorily discharge
an enlisted man without a trial.
When asked about the case today Judge
Advocate General Davis said that he had
placed 1t on the docket and would take 1t
up in its regular order. He had no idea
VIXEN he would be prepared to report upon
1t, but 1t apparently did not impress him
as Delhg case OF SuCh supreme Importance
as to justify him In dropping other BUSH
ness already under consideration. In re-
Spouse to a direct question to when he
was likely to dispose of the case he said he
really could not say, and to show how some
cases hang on he remarked that there were
several civil war cases still before the office
awaiting action.
Not a Court Martial Case.
The grounds on which the recommended
ton for the soldiers discharge is based
have not been disclosed, except that they
have some relation to his marriage to a
colored woman. 1t is admitted that he has
not violated any written regulations of the
army, as in that event the regular course
OF action would have been to order his trial
by court-martial. Nor has it been shown
that he violated the New Jersey state law
In marrying person of another race. So
that unless he Is physically disqualified
there is no way to force. him out of the
army in advance of the expiration of his
term Of enlistment, except by his discharge
by the War Department.
Secretary-Taft refuses to discuss the case,
