CAMPAIGN IS OPENED
FAIRBANKS LAUNCHES REPUBLI-
 CAN SHIP IN MARYLAND.
Talks Protection and Lays Credit for Every Blessing of Country at Door of ROoseVelt's Admin
 istPattOn.

Baltimore Sept 20-senator Charles W. Fairbanks was the chief speaker at a Republican mass meeting held in this city tonight, the event being the formal opening of the Republican cam paign in Maryland.
 In the Baltimore depot the Senator was welcomed by a large and enthu- siastic crowd and was escorted to the Hotel Rennert After reaching the hotel a reception was held and several hundred callers shook hands with the Republican Vice Presidential candidate.
 In his speech Senator Fairbanks de c1sred that the losses of Baltimore in the 1agration of this year were not so large as those sustained by the city during the last Democratic admins tration as a result of the temporary overthrow of Republican principles. He declared that during the Cleveland ad- ministration business in this and other cities was chacked, pay rolls were re- duced and the wage rate diminished. On the subject of protection he said:
 The Republican protective system is an issue in the pending election. The Democratic party, true to it's tradi- tional policy of hostility to 1t has de- clared protection to be robbery It's triumph would be a direct and positive blow to the protective system which has so sp1endidly vindicated Itself. We must believe that the Democratic con vention meant what it said and that it said what it meant.
 The opposition cannot complain If we accept in good faith the issue ten dered by 1t. What would the ultimate overthrow of the protective system mean to Baltimore and to the State of Maryland? What would 1t mean to the vast industrial establishments founded throughout the State?
 What would 1t mean to the vast capital invested In them? What would 1t mean to the large army of working men who are now engaged at remunerative employed, and who walk ed in idleness during the last Demo- cratic administration?
 The overthrow of Republican poll cies today must bring similar results to those that followed their overthrow in 1892 Strike down the protective system today and we will eat the bread of repentance tomorrow"
 The Senator defended the course of President Roosevelt toward Panama, declaring that had 1t not been for the Presidents timely act the construction of the canal would have been postpon- ed for years The country's sound mowetary system, he maintained. had been established through the genius. the courage and the wisdom of the Re- publican party.
 Senator w. P Dillingham; of Vermont and John V I. Findlay, Assistant At torney General of Maryland also made speeches. United States Senator Louis x. McComas presided.

MONUMENT TO PELHAM
JOHN H. FORNEY CHAPTER HAS
 RAISED FUND.
Handsome Statue to Record Deeds and Spirit of Boy ArtilIeryman Will he Erected mt
 Jacksonville.

Jacksonville, Sept. 20.-(Special)- With the blossomng of memorial flow CTS next spring will be unveiled over the grave of John Pelham at this place, a beautiful monument to the memory of that boy artilleryman, who illustrated perfectly the spirit and the daring of the youth of the old South.
 The monument will not only perpet- uate the memory of the Confederate soldier, but will in marked degree. rep resent the devoted and romantic at tachment of the women of the South to a cause that was lost.
 For more than thirty years the peo' ple of Jacksonville have clung per sfstentIy to the determination to erect this monument. From time to time the subject would be tken up and some money be added to the sum first sub- scribed and then the project would be allowed to rest in the face of dis- couragement and hard times. At last the John Forney Chapter. L. D. C. of Jacksonville took the matter in hand and began a vigorous canvass for ad- ditional means among the home people, who every time responded liberally.
 Something additional was raised by subscriptions from a few of the |. D. c. Chapters of the State. something from the public fmen of the State and something from people abroad. Some years ago the pupils of Oxford College raised S10s for a monument to Pelham.
 Some days ago this fund was placed at the disposal of the John Forney Chapter by Professor J. l.. Dodson and wife. Inspired by this generous dona- ton the ladies of the Chapter canvass ed the town again and met with a most liberal response.
 The Chapter. at meeting a few days ago, determined that the fund had reached so near the amount desired that they would be justified in making q contract for the monument and it was done.
 The bases will be of Georgia marble and the life size figure of a Confed- crate soldier in the uniform of a major of artillery will be of Italian marble. On three different sides of the monument will be chiseled res pectively a cannon. a sword. a Confed- crate flag and the emblem of the T.. D. C On the remaining fourth side will be a simple record of Pelhams birth and death

Record Shows That Roosevelt's Term Oyertops CleyeIaudsn.

Record Shows That Roosevelt's Term Overtops Cleveland's.
 New York, Sept. 20-(Special. )--It ts shown in an analysis of the business and industrial records of 19o3-04. pre- sented in the Democratic campaign text book. that there were more failures and labor disturbances under Roosevelt than under Cleveland. The list Is a lengthy one and covers every section of the country. These extracts are made from The Record:
 The Republican campaign book for 1904. on page 125, contains a list of business and industrial disturbances and failures for the years 1s93-84. ard draws the inference therefrom that a Democratic administration makes hard times"
 It is well known even to casual stu dents of current history that the de- pression of 1893 had its inception prior to the election of Mir. Cleveland. So in the latter part of President Har,.- sons administration were so hard press ed that a Republican Secretary of tho Treasury, Charles Foster, had plates for bonds to be engraved aad that the bonds were issued by a Dom ocratic instead of Republican admin istration was due solely to the fast that President Harrison went out of office on March {, 1s93."
 The statement of wage reductions through closed mills and reduced out put contains the names of 14S firms or corporations, including such broad de- scriptions as Pennsylvania Railroad. 13.000 employees laid off; Vanderbilt railroads. 12,0eo; roads out of Chicago, 10000: Burlington Railroad, 5000: liar riman lines, 5000: Gould lines, 7,50o."

INTEREST IN PORT ARTHUR.
Reports of General Assault Arouse
 Russian People.

Reports Of GeneraI Assault Arouse Russian People.
 St. Petersburg, Sept. 21.--G:05 a. m.) Interest is again concentrated upon Port Arthur. owing to the receipt from foreign sources of news that a general storming of the fortifications there has begun.
 A few belated telegrams from Gen eral Stoessel. the commander of Port Arthur published Tuesday afternoon, recording the repulse of the Japanese and continued attacks, strengthen con- fidence in the ability of the defenders to hold out despite the furious on- slaughts made on them. The last att tack mentioned by General Stoessel took place the night of September IA and was directed against redoubt No. 8 which protects the water supply of the city.
 The redoubt is about two miles be- yond the line of permanent forts and the attack upon this shows that the Japanese were not within striking dis tance of the main fortress. Reports from Shanghai that some of tho de- fences had fallen into thN hands ssf the Japanese as d result of a generaf as- sault on September 20 are not confirm ed from Russian sources. M
 The telegrams brought to Chefoo by Prince Radziwill have not yet reached the war office. It is understood that these despatches contain details of the landing of strong Japanese reinforce
 nents at Dalney which would tend to confirm the belief that 1t is the inten- ton of the Japanese to storm the fortress and that the warships proba- ply will take part in the attack In this event Rear Admiral wirens' divis- Ion will doubtless go out and engage the Japanese fleet.
 All Russia is anxiously awaiting news from the beleaguered garrison. Public feeling has been aroused to A nigh tension by the dreadful picture given by Prince Radziwill of the suf- ferings of the Russian army there.
 The sensational announcement that General Kuroki has crossed the Hun River unoprosed and that the whole Japanese army is advancing upon Muk- den Is overshadowed by anxiety for Fort Arthur. Moreover. the announce ment relative to Kuroki does not re- ceive credence here. as being In direct contradiction of official news issued bv the general staff. General Kuropntkin announced only two days ago that there was not a single Japanese eaat or Bentsiaputse.
 How, 1t is asked. could General Ku- roki with 100000 men slip past Gen. eral Rennenkampff's Cossacks ana cross the the Hun River near the Rus sian coal mines thirty miles enst If Mukden. Fushan Is situated on ina road from Bentsiaputse where General kuroki crossed the Taitse river. This road Is carefully watched by General Kuropatkin's outposts between Muk. den and Stnmintin. A strong guard mas been placed at the Fushan mines which General Kuropatkin will moi give up without struggle, as the loss ol the mines would involve the cut ting off of the coal supply for tb. whole Manchurian railway.
 Nevertheless It Is considered mora than doubtful if General Kuropatkin Will make decisive stand south of Tie pass oi

cUBA's IMPORT TRADE.
Minister SQuiers Makes Report to state
 Departmenf.

Minister Sauiers Makes Report to State
 Department.
 Washington, Sept. 20.-The State Department has received from Minis ter Sauiers at Havana a table showing Cubas import trade for the first quar- ter of ls0& and for the same quarter of 1903. These figures are of special interest in that they cover the first quarter after December 25. 1903. when the reciprocity treaty took effect.
 There was an increase of s2.03s,200 in the imports for Cuba for the first quarter of 1904 over those for the same period of 1903. The Minister points out that the imports into Cuba from the United States increased only per cent while those from England, Ger many, Spain and France increased 20, 2l, Is and per cent respectively He says he was unofhcially informed that the Cuban exports to the United States have very largely increased.
 T never fail to impress upon the President and the Cuban merchants and planters with whom r come into con. tact" adds the Minister, the danger to reciprocity In the present uneven trade between the two countries, and that American merchants and manu- lecturers will not long support an ar- rangement which largely increases the market for Cuba productions, and by comparison al least, decreases the sala of our own. The situation is pretty well understood and 1t will not be diff ficult to obtain from tho Cuban Gov ernment a proposition for the admis- sion of goods of American origin on a more favorable basis"

Pert Arthur is again the center Of in. terest as regards the war in the Far East general attack by land and sea is regarded as likely to follow the Japanese assault Spon the redoubt pro . tecting the water supply of the fort ress and town, and participation of the fleet under Admiral Togo is looked for.
 In this latter event, it is expected that the remnants of the Russian squadron in the port will sally forth to engage the Japanese ships.
 Eight and possibly nine Japanese divisions are reported to be advancing on Mukden. and another battle between the armies under Generals Kuroki and Kuropatkin is imminent. St. Peters burg has heard that the Russian Baltic squadron has been reinforced by four warships purchased from Argentine.

We could have held the jail had we been ordered to fire. I heard Captain Hay order tne soldiers not to fire unless the sherin told them to do so after they had re- treated into the jail
 Lieutenant Hay was called back and testified that he could not remember whether or not Sherin Rogers gave Captain Hay instructions to hold the i.ij and nrotect the prisoners He said: Sheriff Rodgers did not give me orders to hold the jail and protect the prisoner, neither did he say want you to protect the jail and hold the prisoner at any time, nor did he say that in the presence of my brother when we first reached the jail. He gave no orders whatever to Captain Hay in my presence regarding holding the jail"
 Captain Hay thu came back to the stand and swore that Sheriff Rodgers never did give him any orders to hold the jail or to take charge of the jail and the prisoner.
 The counsel for the company and the officers then stated that they had no more evidence to offer and the court announced that 1t did not have any more. The counsel for the defense did not wish to make any argument and the court adjourned subject to the call of the president.
