JAPs SMELLING PORT ARTHUR
Fierce Bombsrdment, Begun On the
10Th. Still In Progress.


Chcfoo. oct. 22.-Arriyals from Port
Arthur state that 10 days ago the
Japanesc completed the mounting OF
several guns on an eminence com
handing the Lao-Thie-Shan forts They
have directed the fire Of these guns
into the naval basin al Port Arthur.
In like manner siege guns are operat-
ing from the eastern flank at Taku-
Shan Hill \ bombardment which be-
gan October Is was still under way
on October 49, The position Of the
Japanese troops on the Dao-Thie-Shan
flank is the same as il was a month
ago. The Russians are still holding the
forts
Heavy artillery fire has been direct
ed almost daily on the LaO-Thie-Shan
forts without effect either on the forti-
fications or the troops The troops
manning these forts have excellent
cover. and under the Japanese fire
content themselves with lying under
their perfect protection. They do not
return the fire. but observe carefully
the positions of the japanese guns.
and when the fire has ceased generally
place a few well-directed shots doing
much damage.
Chinese living in the villages in the
vicinity of the Lao-Thie-Shan forts
say that the Russians fire only one
gun to the Japanese 10. The Russians
I'm the forts guarding the west flank
have burned the Chinese villages to
clear the country and afford as little
cover as possible to the Japanese
when they attempt to storm the forti-
fications. The consequence is that
many Chinese are homeless.

PARKER ON EXTRAVAGANCE
Democratic Candidate Reviews Charges
AGAINST Republican Administration.

Esopus. y. Y, Oct 22.-Judge Par
ker addressed a delegation from Hud-
son county, n. j., on the subject Of
administrative extravaganza, answer
ing a speech made by Secretary OF
War TAFT. in which the secretary
called upon the Democrats to give a
bill OF particulars in connection with
their charges that economy in gov
eminent affairs had been forgotten in
the years the Republicans have been
in control Of national affairs.
Judge Parker said in part:
We asserted that only seven years ago
and under a Democratic president. tine
total expenses of this government were
Joss than s'c6W0000. and we charged that
I'm the last fiscal year the eXpenditur $
Wer, over 500 900. These figures have
not been denied. aud they cannot be.
Deductnr from the latter amount the
sum paid by this government for the
Panama Canal and the Panama Canal
rishts. We ytn have $4,000 900. After
naI,inc That deduction We lind that IL
cDst abprt -lu6.D3m0 more to run tie
Government last year than it did seven
years ago.
That statemen, on it's face raises the
presumption OF extravaganza and waste.
presumption which requires evidence
to overcome. None has been presented.
BY way OF indirect answer to the Dem
orrauc ch1ree of extravaganza. the in
Quiry has been put by the administra-
ton whether we propose TO cut off the
pensions. We answer. certainly not. And
we further assert that the inference sug-
gested by to question is not ingenious.
The amount paid out i'm pensions has
been decreasing every year since 1893 But
for the unwdrranted order No. (which
Is fully considered in my letter Of ac-
ceptance-the amount paid for pensions
in the seventh preceding year would have
exceeded the amount paid last year.
The inquiry is further made by the
administration whether we would dare
to reduce the cost of the army. We
answer that most assuredly we would
and We ask the people to decide be-
tween the administration and the Demo-
cratic contention on that point In the
year 1897 the war department cost less
than $40, 10000 which was about the
average cost per year for the preceding
20 years. This last year, year of peace
the cost of the army was Sl15,O00,OOO
We do not charge that money is de-
hDerdtely thrown away, OF tnht IL -
turned over 10 all who make some shad-
ow OF claim for 1t without questioning
But rather that the evidence points un-
mistakably TO lack of effort to hold In
check those whose business IL is to pro
vide ways and means to profit by gov
eminent expense. In other words, econ
omy In the expenditure Of the money OF
the people Is no longer a leading object
Of administration. Saving millions of the
peoples money u year seems unattractiye.
