SENATOR FAIRBANKS
ON IMPERIALISM.
lie Concludes His Tour of Iowa Mt
Dnxenport.


Davenport, Ia. oct. 12.-whh a
speech at the Turner opera House in
this city tonight, Senator Fairbanks
concluded his tour of this state.
During the day Senator Fairbanks
discussed the question Of imperialism.
He said:
"Out Of what does this charge OF
Imperialism grow? out of our action
in the Philippine Islands. The Demo-
Gratis do not pretend to observe evil
dence Of any imperialistic purpose here
In the United States. We have built
up prosperity as never before. The
laws have been enforced impartially
and effectively. But away off in the
Philippines, thousands OF miles beyond
the western coast. they say we are
governing In an imperialistic way.
Fellow w-citizens, they are wrong
about that. We have carried into the
Philippines the principles OF the Re-
publican government We went there
under the leadership Of as true pa
triot as was ever born In the repub-
lie. William Mckinley organized civil
government I'm the Philippines, sue
ceeding the military government. At
the very first moment possible with
civil autho .ity he carried 10 those peo-
pie the blessings Of Republican gov
eminent IN the fullest measure possi-
ble. We have been educating them In
the ways OF civil administration, In
viting them 20 the fullest possible par
ticipation IN the administration Of their
own affairs"

Gen. Kuropatkins advance has
been met with a counter advance
of the forces under Field Marshal
Oyama. According to advices re-
ceived at Toxic. a general engage
ment is in progress between Lao
Yang and Mukden; but reports
from Russian sources, describe the
fighting there as merely in the ma
ture of advance guard actions.
Gen. Kuropatkin is reported to be
aiming to strike simultaneously at
two widely separated points on the
Japanese left. There has been
hard fighting a short distance north
of Bensihu, in which a loss of $50
in killed or wounded is admitted.
The Japanese claim to have cut
off a Russian column south of the
Taitse river. No official reports
from the front were received by
the Russian war Office last night
and the fact is regarded in some
quarters as indicating the nom
success thus far of Gen. Kuropat-
kins forward movement. Military
authorities, however, point out that,
owing to the magnitude of the
movement planned, it is too early
to expect news of decisive results.

A WIDE BREACH
IN SENTIMENT
QUESTION OF RE-MARRIAGE
OF INNOCENT PARTY TO A d.
VORCE CAUSES STIR.

Great Difference in Opinion of Epis-
cOpal Convention May Cause the
Matter to BE Referred-sOutheFu
Delegates Opposed Adoption of
New Canon as Did George Foster
PeabOdy-Debnte Put on Tin To-
day.
Boston, Oct. ia marked division
of sentiment regarding the proposal to
prevent the re-marriage of the inno-
cent party to divorce, during the
life Of the former partner, developed
at to-days session of the House of
Deputies of the Episcopal General
Convention. The House, sitting as a
committee of the whole. discussed the
issue all day and many vehement ad-
dresses were made by both sides.
Several prominent delegates ex-
pressed the opinion tonight that in
view Of the great difference of opin-
ion, the present convention would not
act on the matter, but would, like its
predecessor, refer the problem to the
next triennial convention.
A commotion was caused by John
c. Buxton of Winston, N. c., who at
tempted to link the divorce evil with
the liquor question. Mr.. Buxton is
the deputy who, on the opening day
of the convention, attempted to read
a resolution censuring Bishop Henry
c. Potter Of New York, for opening
the Subway saloon. In his remarks
to-day he expressed the opinion that
it would be better for the church to
curb the liquor traffic before chang
ing the canons on marriage. Contln-
ing, he was saying: IF instead of a
high official of the church lending his
influence to the dedication Of Saloons"
when he was interrupted by a point of
order. Mr.. Buxton was admonished
by the chairman. Still he attempted
to make some further reference indi-
rectly to the Subway Tavern, but was
promptly called to order by the chair
man. The time limit OF the morning
session expired before Mr.. Buxton
could continue.
James Mcconnell Of New Orleans
opposed the adoption Of the new canon
in dramatic speech. 'In Gods name,"
he declared how can church legis-
late to take away the protection of
the innocent? What right has any one
to change the meaning Of the words
i'm st. Mathews gospel? Where is
the man to expound away the written
word of the Son Of God Himself?"
Rev. T. J. Beard of Birmingham,
Ala, was opposed to the adoption OF
the proposed canon because II compro-
missed the church as a teacher.
George Foster Peabody OF Brooklyn
thought that all amendments TO the
canon should be voted down, as the
church was evidently emphatically di-
vided on the issue.
The debate was put over until to-
morrow.
The House Of Bishops to-day pre-
sented the Archbishop of Canterbury
with a silver loving cup. The English
primate will leave the city for New
York tomorrow and will sail for Eng
land on Friday.
The resignation Of Bishop Thomas A.
Jaggar OF Southern Ohio. was re-
ceived and adopted by the House OF
Bishops and his coadjutor. Rt. Rev.
Boyd Vincent, becomes Bishop OF the
diocese.

DAVIS DELIVERS
MANY SPEECHES
GREAT ASSEMBLAGES GREET
THE CAMPAIGNING PARTY ALL
ALONG THE ROUTE.

"Thc Grand Old Man of West vir-
RinIa" Adds Another Speech TO
the Record of the First Day-sen-
atOr Daniel, Ex-GOv. Whyte ana
senator Hill Have All They Can
DO 10 Keep the Pace Set by
"YOunG Davis"
Fairmont, w. Va, Oct 12.-The sec
ond day of the Davis campaign
through Maryland and West Virginia
has added to the reputation of Mr..
Davis as young old" man. He re-
peated his record Of yesterday with
dozen speeches, and added one more
for good measure. Despite the rain
which followed the train during the
first half of the day, theree was no
dampening of enthusiasm nor dimin-
ishing OF the crowds which greeted
the candidate.
At Grafton and Clarksburg the day
seemed to be set apart as a holiday.
In the latter place an elaborate
marching escort and several bands
were in waiting, the party was con-
Quoted to the Court House and the
speeches, which were delivered from
the portico of the Jail building adj
joining were listened to by the largest
outdoor audience yet assembled on the
journey.
An indication of the earnest side Of
the campaign was the attendance Of
manerb, begrimed with their work
which they had left temporarily to lis
ten to the speakers. While Mr.. Davis
is serious talxer especially when he
touches on state issues, which he has
been emphasizing, his general address
and unique manner of abruptly intro
duoing himself. Il suppose you know
/ am Davis who Is flying through
looking for friends and votes,' has the
effect OF placing his hearers at ease
after they have cheered the an
nouncement.
Senator Daniel exercises his facul-
ty for hitting on some localism or inn
mediate incident to bring him In cor
dial touch with his hearers. Ex-Gov.
Whyte has good humor at all times,
and Mr.. Hill, while always serious In
his discussion of the issues, has a way
of showing his humor to advantage.
Mr.. Hill has dubbed Mr.. Davis The
Grand Old Man of West Virginia" ana
LellS some OF MS duelcnces tndN 1lhu-
! stone and Bismarck are nowhere In
| comparison. Senator Daniel declares
that he is having a more strenuous
time in keeping up with Young Dav-
is" than he had In following the lead
of Stonewall Jackson In a gray Jacket
during the war.
| The special to-day touched at the fol-
lowing places: Oakland, Md. Terra
Alta, Rowesburg. Tunnelton, Newburg,
Grafton, Clarksburg, Gypsy. Hynston,
Enterprise, Worthington and Monon-
gah, with a night rally at Fairmont,
where the train was side-tracked for
the night.
Acres OF people greeted the cam
paigning party tonight. A special
train from Morgantown brought a
marching club composed OF students at
the State University and red fire, bands
and tin horns furnished the spectacu-
lar feature.
The speech-making took place on the
portico Of the Court House and the
street and plaza in front was blocked
with people, who stood throughout
listening and cheering extended
speeches by Mr.. Davis, Senator Dan
lei. Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Whyte.

Inc hrlng ahead became heavier yes
terday and wounded men from the
scouting detachments began to pass
through the Russian lines. The Rus
SLAMS pressed forward with increased
speed, the infantry advancing at the
double. The spirits of the men were
high, due to the fact that thew were
actually assuming the offensive. They
arrived at the village of Shanpintaidze
at o'clock this evening. The Japan
ese had hurriedly abandoned the place
the night before, paying the Chinese
big prices to carry away their stores
amounting to 1900 bags of rice and
barley.
There were two divisions of jap
anese in front of the Russians. The
general commanding this (Russian)
column, upon reaching Shanpintaidze
deployed a portion of his forces, with
a battery of artillery sent out left
flank supports and went personally to
his right flank. where his skirmishers
had already engaged the Japanese. An
artillery duel then opened on the left
with the Japanese mountain guns
brought up from Chowsan pass, which
were shelling the Russian scouting de-
tachments. The Japanese proiectiles,
however, fell wide and the Russian
guns came up at a gallop, unlimbered
and opened fire on the Japanese ar
tillery. This duel was continued until
dark. The Russian fire was accurate
and eventually silenced the Japanese
battery.
The Russians lost ten men wounded
and had one man killed.
This morning the batteries reopened
fire at 10 O'Clock, the Japanese reply
ing.
To the right the fight was proceed
ing simultaneously apparently in favor
of the Russians. The latter were
using about ten miles of telegraph and
telephone lines abandoned by the Jap
anese.

SERIOUS CONFLICTS
OCCURRED MONDAY.
Toxic Has Reports of Desperate
Struggle at Bensihu.


Struggle at Bensihu.
Toxic, Oct. u, $50 p. ma batch
of reports covering the fighting of Oct.
10, published this morning, records
serious conflicts at various points along
the Japanese front. There was a des-
perate struggle in the neighborhood of
Bensihu, where the Russians crossed
the Taitse river, and where the Jap
anese endeavored to entrap the inva-
ders.
The Hsien Chuang garrison vigor-
ously attacked and repulsed the Rus
slams, possibly relieving the pressure
on the japanese line of communica-
ton.
The headquarters of the Manchurian
army, in reporting conditions on the
night of Oct. 10, telegraphs as fol-
lows:
"A powerful column of the enemy
is advancing. 1t is in Yeihokou val
ley near Shaotakou. A regiment of
Russians is fortifylng the ridges.
"A line of eminences east of Ben
sihu was taken by the enemy, as were
ridges east of the roadway between
Suolichia and Bensihu by a night at
tack. The next morning, under cover
of a mist our force succeeded in re-
taking the line of eminences east of
Bensihu and another line of ridges be-
tween Suolichia and Bensihu.
"At IL o'clock this morning the
enemys cavalry attempted to attack
one eminence east of Soutalaitza, but
they were driven back after a hand
to hand fight. The enemy left num-
erous killed and retreated to the base
of the eminence.
Reports received up to the evening
of Oct. 10, show that the enemy in
the kGcinfty of Bensihu appears to
have been reinforced, but our troops
are holding their position well.
1.-The center army reports as follows
Our right has taken possession Of
a line of nights east of Yamentzu
Our left reached the ridges east of
Huangti and attacked the enemy at
Wilitzu, but was unable to dislodge
him up to sundown.'
"Our left army reports as follows:
Our right column is occupying
Kuchiatzu and vicinity and is cooper
ating with the left and center. The
force occupying the nights of Wuli-
taitzu, in the vicinity of Erestaitzu.
We took possession Of a line extending
from Soutataitzu and Erestaitzu. Our
center column reached a line from
Chientaftzu to Kangchiatai and at
tackled and dislodged the enemy from
his position at Tatungshan, which he
had been holding since the day be-
fore. Our left, after attacking the
enemy holding Hsilaoshatun, continued
to advance to Hochiatun. The garrison
at Hsienc Huang made a night at

st. Petersburg, Oct. 13, 3:20 a. M
No official news of the results of to-
days battle south of Mukden is avail
able at this hour. Gen. Kuropatkin
doubtless has communicated his regu-
lar report to Emperor Nicholas at
Tsarkoe Selo, but the dispatch was not
sent back to the general staff tonight.
So the latest word from Russian
sources is contained in the Associated
Press dispatch from Mukden.
AS is natural, the absence of official
news is pessimistically interrupted in
many quarters; but the general staff,
though reticent, counsels patience,
pointing out that the offensive move
ment was planned upon a large scale
and has not yet reached stage where
a decisive result could have been at
tanned.
The frontal attack on the Yentai
mines developed a desperate battle, in
which probably 100000 men are en-
gagged; but though the dispatches so
far deal almost exclusively with this
feature of the battle, it is pointed out
that there is a much wider field in
volved.
While it is now asserted that Gen.
Kuropatkin enjoys a considerable nu-
merical superiority, the main fear ex-
pressed is that this superiority is in
sufficient to enable him to carry out
the big operations he has undertaken.

DROPPING SHELLS INTO
PORT ARTHUR HARB0R.
One Shell Recently Damaged the
BnttIeship Retvisan.

Che Foo, Oct. 12. p. n.-Japanese,
who arrived here to-day from Port
Dalny report that additional heavy
guns are now dropping shells into the
harbor of Port Arthur. One shell re-
Gently severely damaged the battleship
Retvizan. The repuse from High Hill,
the Japanese say. was the only re-
verse which the Japanese before Port
Arthur have suffered on the other
hand, the Japanese have destroyed two
redoubts which gave the Russians
thanking fire from Rihlung mountain
against their assailants and the
japanese remain in six other captured
fortihcations, south of Shuishiying,
which were mentioned in these dis
patches Sept 25.
The Japanese consider that the pro-
gress they have made is satisfactory
and believes that the capture Of the
fortress, although slow is certain to
be accomplished.

STRIKING DRIVERS
RI0TING IN CHICAGO.
Policemen Called Upon to Protect
Movement of Baggage.

ROIlcemen NHlie0 upon 10 EEONNtA
Movement of Baggage.
Chicago, Oct. 12.-Rioting occurred
in connection with a strike of baggage
wagon drivers employed by the Frank
e. Scott Transfer Company to-day.
Attacks on wagons were repulsed by
a squad of policemen at the barns of
the company in Wabash avenue and
by a force of private detectives en-
ployed to patrol the district.
At Van Buren and State streets, a
non-union driver for the company was
attacked by the driver of an ice wag
on and threatened with an ak. While
this was going on, several men, sup
posed to be pickets, cut the harness.
The baggage wagon driver ran for his
life, leaving his wagon in an alley.
-Four arrests were made.
One prisoner was J. w. Young, bus
mess agent of the Van and Baggage
Transfers Union.
Trouble was also experienced about
the Auditorium Hotel where the bag
gage handlers had gone on a strike.
Several express wagons loaded with
trunks and valises from the depots
drove to the hotel and unloaded with
difficulty under police guard.
A crowd of twenty men attacked one
OF the Scott wagons at the Polk street
depot, while the driver was attempting
to deliver baggage from one OF the
hotels. Knives were drawn and only
the arrival of the police prevented the
traces from being cut.
