 As the owners of the Corliss En- zine Works. the American Ordnance Works and the Whelock and Greene Engine, as we'll as other large man ufacturing interests, I have watched with great interest the remarkable ma terial advancement of the Southern States. I congratulate the South on what it has done. but I feel like say ing that all that you have accomplish ed is but slight indication of the bril- liant future before you The story of development. as pub lished fl om week to week In The Man ufacturers' Record has awakened in | this section, as throughout the world, the deepest interest in the prosperity of your section. I am tremendously 1 impressed with your progress and ap- preciate your invitation and am all ways ready, as are those associated with me, to make the closest investi- | gation of the relative advantages Of dir- ferent sections for manufacturing. our | interest in New England are so great however, that we do not feel that we can at the present time come to a final 1 decision as to our ultimate location.

 Whereas The Alabama Commercial and Industrial Association is vitally in terested in both the moral and mate rial welfare of the South; | "Therefore. be 1t resolved, That we discountenance the conduct of those cit izens whose acts of mob violence bring upon us the reproach of the civilized world.

The Frankfurter Zeitung of August !, 1904 contains correspondence from Paris stating that last year veritable campaign was waged against oysters. which were said to especially transmit tyVhus and various other bacilli
 The Journal Ofncial now publishes the report of Professor Alfred Giard in the name of the sea fishery commission appointed by the secretary of the navy, which clears the oyster of all charges and expressly declares that they are eatable at all seasons as they cannot transmii any disease to human be- ings.

TREMENDOUS OVATION IS GINgN
 TO PARKER AT MADISON SQUARE
FIVE STORY BUILDING
 COLLAPSES IN E ZMPHIS


 Memphis, October Si-With terrific crash the building occupied by the Con- tinental Savings bank at No. 19 Madison street collapsed at 10 o'clock this morning burying number of persons in the wreckage. So far as known only one per son, a negro saloon porter was killed. The other victims were quickly rescued by the fire and police departments. Jo- seph Fischer, a tailor, who had a shop in the building is the --.ly person known to have sustained serious injuries. He was badly mashed about the body but it is announced he will recover.
 That many people were not killed is almost miraculous. The building which was recently detached from a similar structure was a four s4&.~ office house. Excavations had been made at the corner adjoining and

 The dead body of Winters Parker, the colored porter, was taken from the eel lar of the wrecked building at o'clock this afternoon. The negro's head had been badly crushed by falling brick This is the only fatality reported, and at . o'clock the police announced it as their belief that no more bodies were in the ruins.

PROSPECT
 FOR DEMOCRACY

 Parker's Speeches
CONFIDENT OF NEW YORK
Political Conditions In Pennsylvania are Revelations to the Uninltiated in Poltcs-Penrose Expects
 3oo,ooo Majority.

Washington, October 31.-(Special.)- A special from New York by staff cor- respondent of the Washington Star, a rabid republican paper says: This Is to be democratic week In the campaign The political pendulum is likely to swing far over toward the democratic side with in the next four days. Whether 1t will swing far enough to indicate democratic national victory Is a question to which the democratic managers are not ready 10 give positive affirmation and to which the republican managers enter a stout nega- tive.
 q returned to New York from a trip through Connecticut and Rhode Island to find marked change In the outlook here. There was undeniable increase in demo- cratic hope. Among the rank and file there was a state of joy almost hyster- lcal That condition was traced to the newspaper polls made by the Brooklyn Eagle and the New York Herald, and which confirmed in their minds the thought of which the wish had been father
  definite information on the cause of the accession of democratic confidence, I re ceived an explanation which might b' summarized in these words:
 "rhe democratic national managers ar not credulous enough to prophecy victor, on the national ticket, but honestly be lieve there Is a very favorable fightin chance. They believe that Judge Parke 1 will carry New York state and are conf dent that the democratic candidate fo governor in New York will be elected.

ARCHBISHOP ELDER
 DIES IN CINCINNATI
OLDEST. oRELATE IN THE CITY HAS PEACEFUL END-WAS FOR MANY YEARS BISHOP OF NATcHEZ, MISS.

Cincinnati, O.. October s1.-Mosta Rev Wm. Henry Elder, archbishop of Cincin- nati, in his seth year, died at f1:5O o'clock tonight after suffering four days from a severe case of grippe, complicated with extreme weakness.
 The scene. at the bedside when it was apparent that the end was near was most affecting. The archbishop was conscious and his last words was a prayer in a very feeble voice: Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now at the hour of our death. Amen"
 He then kissed a crucifix and with q. peaceful smile on his face breathed his last. Those present at the bedside were Coadjutor Archbishop Moeller, Rev Gal lagher, Archbishop Eldersy. Dr. De- courecy and several sisters of mercy. They all were deeply affected.
 Since Saturday heart stimulants were administered and today life was preserved by other treatment. The archbishop had not been able to speak since noon today, but it was evident that he recognized Coadjutor Moeller and the priests and sis ters, who were around his bedside. With , the exception of occasional rallies, that were due to his will power while giving instructions about church work, he had been gradually growing weaker ever since his prostration last Friday.
 Archbishop Elder was not only the old est prelate in years, but also in tenure of office in this city He had presided over this archdiocese for quarter of a cen- tury, and previously was almost as long bishop of Natchez, Miss.

Six hundred Faces Apart.

Mukden, October 31-Via Pekin.-The armies are only six hundred paces apart
 The situation Is perhaps the most re- markable in military annals. Two armies each with the other as an objective, are approaching while constructing siege works the making of which both sides are accelerating, each morning revealing the work done oyer night to the obserVa- tion stations on every hill.
 The Japanese after their disaster at Manalon hill retaliated on October 27 by turning the Russians from pyramidal hill opposite Fenchiapu. seven miles to the east. The Russians were commanded from three directions and withstood a loss of 60 per cent from artillery fire on the afternoon of the 27th before they were forced out by the Japanese infantry at night. The Japanese abandoned the po- sition immediately after it was taken. This event does not equal in importance the capture of Manalon hill. The Japs, who are posted on a similar hill to the south, appear now to have most deter mined designs to retrieve the position they abandoned. Last night there was the heaviest bombardment of the week from the Russian batteries and the Russians are seemingly apprehensive of a crucial surprise. This bombardment was accom- panied by a continuous rife fire, whil the infantry advanced by means of quick entrenehing at intervals of a few hundred feet under cover of darkness.
 Battle Within Few Days.
 The outcome of this activity is a tense
 vigilance along the entire extended front.
 This tension, taken with the report of
 the reinforcement of the Japenese from Port Arthur, is likely to precipitate a
 great battle within a few days. The
 eombatants, however, apparently are not disincined to winter in their present po- sitions, as since the last tour of the Russian positions made by the cores pondent of the Associated Press the forces have adopted a system of winter housing in the field
 From their immediate bivouacs bo-h armies calmly behold each other and are able to distinguish each others en- trenching gangs as they drop their tools when relieved These observations are
 made from points of vantage immed- | lately outside of the range of the artil- | lery, which is intermittant in it's pra6 | tice against the principal emnences. Japanese lheils are daily breaking on | Pagoda Hill, which is the most import | ant of the ,Iussians and in front of which | the villagers remain in their houses, in- | dicating that they by some arrangements | with the Japanese understand their homes | will not be shelled by the latter.

the past few years in such an attack both from without and from within
 Tn an early utterance 1 have referred In detail to what is notoriously going on in the matter of the collection of funds by the republican party for the campaign. Now, l know, as you know, that money is required in order to defray the expenses of a campaign. Under right conditions, it's collection and expenditure are equally legitimate. But the spectacle of demand ing campaign fxlds now presented to this country is, when rightly regarded, of a character to shock the moral sense.
 Congress created a new department of commerce and labor. Of that depart ment the President of the United States appointed a secretary. That secretary was his private secretary. Within that department provision is made for the col- lection from large corporations, including the so-called trusts, of information which it is to be borne in mind is to be submitted to the President for public or private use, as he may direct By the grace of the same executive this secre- tary. through whose department this in- formation Is collected, becomes the chair man of the national republican commit- tee. His duty it has been and still is, to collect funds for the purpose of securing the election of the President, and 1t is now notorious that there has been re- ceived from this organization importun- ity-whatever may be the precise way in which 1t is made effective-an over flowing treasury to the committee of which boast is openly and continually made

Condemned as ScandaIous.

Although this may be satisfactory to the conscience of the republican leaders, it must, I firmly believe. be condemned nothing short of scandalous, not alone by myself or the democratic party but by the American people as well.

Resumption of Fighting.

Dispatches indicate the resumption of fighting on both extremities of the Rus sian front The night of October 10 the Japanese attacked the Russian entrench- ments east of Sinchinpu, but were re- pulsed, though the bombardment contin- ued through the night. The Japanese also have begun against the Russian positions at Tunganon, a mile and Q half north of Bentsiaputze, where they encountered a heavy Russian fire.
 Thus it appears that the Japanese are becoming aggressive along the whole front from Bentsiaputze on the extreme east to Sinchinpu. which is west of the Shakhe river, where that streams bends south after crossing the railroad. This probably constitutes the extreme Rus sian west, making the battle front about the same as when General Kuropatkin be- gan his southern movement.
 The latest reports from Port Arthur are by no means encouraging. General Stoes- | sel Is making a good defense, but the
 Japanese are approaching now by par | allels confessedly close to the important l Russian fortifications. While this form of attack is less spectacular and less costly 1 in men than the repeated assault, 1t is no
 less conclusive In the ultimate results, de- | manding a sleepless defense, and being | almost impossible to frustrate.
