lie Will Don Issue 'Eorty-Five Years
Under the Flag
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Sept. 1O.-Announce.
ment is made that Rear Admiral
Schley will shortly publish his
autobiography under the title OF
Forty-Five Years Under the Flag
ABOUT one-third of the book will be
devoted to the Spanish american
War concerning which the Admiral
will say in his preface:
In the chapters which relate to
the operations against Cervera's fleet
the purpose has been to record the
events from the writer's own view
point, to criticise in a spirit of fair
ness, but without malice. bearing in
mind that wherever it has been
necessary to refer to apparent incon-
sistenc1es in the statements of others,
the author has endeavored always to
avoid unnecessary personalities.
through the courtesy of secretary
Moody, recourse has been had to
ofllclal papers which were not avail
able before his accession to office"
The remainder of the large volume
will be given to the narrative of Adj
mlral Schley's success in many seas.

SENIORS TO RETURN.
Five Taken Back and Ten Asking &c
COme--ClaSs Numbers
'U00lJ!ILL

DR.. Geo. T. Winston, president of
the A. and M. College, last night gave
out the following statement with re-
gard to the return of some members
of the Senior class who had left the
college.
Five of the rebelling Seniors at the
A. and M. College have made applica-
ton for re-admission with. proper sub
mission to authority and agreements
for future observance of regulations
and have been restored by the faculty
These, with eight who never left
make a total Senior class of Thrift en-
now present and actively performing
duty. Ten others have applied fo1
reinstatement. Each case will be con4
sidered separately. No committees MOI
agents viii be treated with. No change
of rules will be made.
President Winston says "the charac-
ter of the college for discipline and
study will not be changed. Discipline
will be enforced and authority main
tanned. The regulations will not bd
modified in any particular. But harsh
and vindictive punishments will not be
inflicted. Each cadet shall be treated
as a father would treat his son un7
der similar circumstances. Those who
do not like to be restrained will stay
away from the college. The creates.
evil in education today is lack of re-
straint, which is necessary to charac-
ter-building. Too much stress is laid
on mere intellectual power
1t is probable that a majority of
the class will be back in a short
while.

PREPARING FOR ASSAULT.
Patient Work of the Japanese to- Make
the Capture of Port Arthur Il
Certainty.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chefoo, Sept 10.-General Nogis
next assault on Port Arthur, will be
directed against RihIungshan and
KikWanshan forts which are the
strongest forts on the northeast flank.
This information is derived from,
an unquestionable authority who has
just finished a visit over the Japa-
nese line around the north and con-
versed with the Japanese officers, who
allowed him to make personal obseT-
vations. The elevation of Rihlungshan
is $50 feet. Three hundred yards
away on the same range is another hill
so much lower that RihlungShan pro-
tects it from bombardment except
from Tizshan and Kikew2nshan. This
hill is part of section which the
Chinese call Palichuang. in the CAP
ture of which the Japanese lost many
lives. Here the Japanese have
strengthened two forts. This position
is the foundation for the Japanese
preparations for the next assault.
Rapid Work OH Trenches.
The work of constructing trenches
is advancing rapidly considering tbs.
fire which the diggers are compelled
TO endure. The Japanese have tents
pitched, and they are relieved every
three days. Food and ammunition
and other. supplies are brought them
only at night for the reason that the
detachments are obliged to cross 81
level stretch before reaching place
of safety.
The Japanese trenches almost I'M
der the moses of the Russians arc
now partly constructed. The Rus
slams endeavored constantly to level
the incline, Smelling the projections
which afford setter to the Japanese,
who in turn lombard to prevent the
Russians from succeeding.
Everything which ingenuity can
suggest is being done by the Japa-
nese to render the attack successful
particular attention being paid to
measure which will enable the Japa-
nese to retain the forts in the event
that they capture them. Among the
contrivances to be employed are num-
erous heavy portable shields which
have been constructed at Dalny and
which will be used to afford protec
ton. Guns and shields will be moved
as closely as possible before the as
sault is made in order that they may
be quickly hauled to the summit when
the forts are taken. With Rihlung

the japanese will practically control

ample of the high character of the
arguments the Democratic party will
make to the electorate in this cam

bv the National Committee entitled,
"'rhe Trend of the Republican party
1t was prepared by Hon. John r. Dos
Passos, one Of the leaders OF the New
York bar and author of an authorita-
tive treatise on 1.-The Law of Stock
Brokers and Stock Exchanges
Mr. Dos Passes contribution to the
Democratic campaign is a careful
brief, dealing exclusively with speci-
fc instances of transgression by the
Republican party, of the Constitution
of the United States. The argument is
lifted above a mere consideration OF
the acts of President Roosevelt and
considers the 'trend" of the party as
a whole This is how Mr.. Dos passes
summarizes his case:
"rrhe first act which / have investi-
gated-the reconstruction laws
showed how openly and Wantonly the
Republican party disregarded the
rights of the States by keeping then
out of the Union when the whole scope
and purpose of the war was to keeI
them in
party attacked the power of the exec
utive in the Impeachment of Andrew
Johnson"
II have shown how the Republican
party packed the Supreme Court Of
the United States by increasing the
number of judges to nine, for the pur-
pose of reversing the previous decis-
ion Of that tribunal"
81 have shown how this party stole
the presidency from Samuel j. Tilden
who was elected by large number OF
votes both popular and electoral"
"Then l turned from domestic his
tory and opened to your view the acts
of President Roosevelt in his dealings
with a foreign poWer-the Republic OF
lombia-and l showed you that out
of this grew not only gross violations
of international law but in connection
herewith, of the Constitution of the
United States; the President being
most previously wrong in his treat
ment of the Republic of Colombia, and
having no right under the Spooner act
to deal with the so-called Republic OF
Panama at all. / can safely aver
therefore, in Stunning up, that the Re
publican party has run the whole
gamut of Constitutional infringement.
