Cumberland, Md, November 3.-Former
Senator Henry G. Davis will put the fin

paign by flying trip over the lines of
the West Virginia Central railroad. The
vice presidential candidate Is travelling in
his special car and with him as assistant
speakers are John McGraw and C. Wood

Music hall at Keyser. Mr.. Davis said the
trusts were all kept up by the tariff, al
though" he said, "as you know, 1 am not
free trader 1 think the tariff on special
things that foster the trusts should be
reduced, but without fear of contradic

or three hundred trusts in this country
are republican. The beef trust, the Stand

some time ago, was favorable to Parker,
freely, and doing everything he can for
the election Of Roosevelt.
'.Under Mckinley" he continued, there
was an overfiowing treasury, containing
surplus of 1000. 900. Now there is de-
ficit OF 10000 900 dollars, and the amount
is growing larger. The republicans told
you four years ago If good times were to
continue they must be kept in power. This
was done, but the good times have not
continued. They are now telling you the
same story over again. 1t is not fact.
however that good times depend upon re-
publican rule. The figures show that be-

Democratic rule. the country enjoyed its

joying a holiday today in honor of the

imperial guards division gave a luncheon
at the palace for the higher officials and
foreign diplomats.
The military review was held at Aoya-

bling early this morning. The emperor
drove through the city in a handsome
red state coach. Leaving the palace
shortly after o'clock he reached the
field at and alighting from his carriage

in an irregular square. Thousands of the
populace walked around the field. After
the review the crowd broke into the field
and gave the emperor and crown prince

Washington, November 3.-(Special)-
There seems to be no doubt here that
Secretary of State John Hay came very
near being the President of the United
States a week ago last Sunday.
" nile every effort is being made at the
White House to minimize the accident to
the President while out riding on that
date it is nevertheless a fact that he had
a narrow escape. The President has been
especially desirous that no mention be
made of the latter owing to the political
end of it. The Presidents opponents have
always claimed with every degree of JUS
tice that he was extremely reckless. both
personally and officially. They have cited
a long list of freakish incidents in sup
port of their contentious, and now comics
to light the accident last Sunday week.
Friends of President Roosevelt know
him as a perfectly reckless ho-se-back
rider. He will ride like mad over rocks,

st. Petersburg, November 4--125 a. m.)
There Is scarcely yelled feeling of
relief throughout ST. Petersburg that the
day has passed without bringing news
of the fall of Port Arthur. There had
been considerable fear that the Japanese
hight rush home the final attack today.
1t is now felt that there may come
another period of respite. The authorities
state they are without direct news from
Port Arthur, and every one is depending
upon foreign service for tidlngs of the
devoted garrison.

SINKING Is Confirmed.

Paris, November 3.--The Associated
Press was put in position today to state
positively that its dispatches from Che
foo, Port Arthur and Toxic last June to
the effect that the Japanese battleship
Yashima had been sunk by a mine off
Dalny which dispatches were denied by
the Japanese authorities at the time,
have finally been officially confirmed. The
Japanese government has notified foreign
governments of the loss of the ship The
number of men who went down with the
vessel is not known, but 1t believed to
have been small.
The loss of the Yashima has been con-
cealed by the Japanese. though the Rus
sian authorities have believed for some
time that the reports that the battleship
had been destroyed were correct. 1t is
important since 1t now diseoses that
Japan has only four modern battleshps
remaining.
These are the Asahi, Full. Mikasa and
| Shilxishima Another vessel elassed as
battleship is the Chin Yen. taken from
| China in 1894 but she is old and not Of

that the small battleship force possessed
by Admiral Togo was responsible for the

that the President was riding at break
neck speed over a bridge. when his horse

HINTS FOR STOUT FOLK CMarie).
When a woman is hungry all the
time and is constantly increasing in
weight it should be self-evident that
she is eating too heavily. Begin at
once TO rigidly enforce self-control if
you hope to keep within bounds as to
size. Very healthy persons whose di-
gestion is perfect undoubtedly feel hun
ger acutely and are inclined to eat
more than is wise or needful with the
idea in mind that they need it or be-
cause it tastes good. Such people lose
sight of the fact that morbid appe-
tite for food can be created and in
creased by over-indulgence Just as is
the case with liquor. and that eventu-
ally overburdened nature Will exact a
penalty in a superabundance Of flesh
or. it may be, in some serious organic
trouble. To eat three heavy meals
each day with glasses of milk at night
and then walk a mile daily to reduce
flesh is about as effective as feeding
a fire with a generous hand and then
trying to extinguish the increasing
blaze with puny stream of water.
repeat, self-control is the first requisite
in reducing flesh. BY all means take
the exercise, but curb your appetite.
