showed they were delighted with the
orator. There were no cat calls or un-

He caught the crowd from the begin

complaint she had was that the speech
was too short
This was Mr.. Glenns first politi-
cal speech in Montgomery. In begin

ticket

he adduced facts and by unquestion-

With deep earnestness he urged
every man and woman present to go

HIS LEFT AND RIGHT RECOIL.
So Kuropatl1iH Reports to St. Peters
burg, Adding That the Fight

(By the Associated Press.J

st. Petersburg, oct. 13-General
Kuropatkin reports that during the
fighting yesterday and today the ad
vance troops were reinforced from the
principal positions; that this evening
the left wing was ordered TO fall back
on the main position, and that about
2 d. n. the center also was Obliged
TO fall back. The report does not
mention the fighting on the right
wing. The full text of General Kuro-
patkins report, which is dated Oc-
tober 13, and addressed to the EN-
Deror is as follows:
Last night and throughout today
the Manchurian army was engaged in
a fierce fight. The japanese concen-
trated great force against our dis
positions on the centre and right wing
We carried on the fight from ad-
vanced positions and it became neces-
Sary to support these advance guards
from the main position. The right
wing held its ad"ance position and
only at nightfall under my orders,
retired to the principal position. In
the centre the troops were forced to
retire from the advance to the main
position about 2 D. m.
According to reports and to my
own observations, the fighting was
most desperate. We repulsed numer-
GUS japanese attacks and ourselves
assumed the offensive. The heroic
defence of the advanced position by
the Tomsk regiment is especially de-
serving Of mention.
During the night our troops on
the right flank captured at the point
of the bayonet a village which had
been lost the previous evening. On
the left flank severe fighting for the
possession of a pass has been con-
tinued Our troops scaled almost in
accessible rocks and held their
ground for two days gradually ap-
preaching the enemy.
81 have not yet received a report
of the result of today's fight on the
left wing. Under the conditions of
the fighting the losses are necessarily
considerable. l have ordered that the

night of October /, but were stopped
by volleys. The Japanese then direct
ed their attack on the extreme right
flank, assailing Signal Hill. which is
situated near the sea. and commenced
an attack from Siaku Hill. Having
repulsed our sharpShooters, the Japa-
nese occupied Signal Hill. At daylight
Signal Hill was shelled by Russian
artillery, after which our companies
drove off the Japanese and re-occupied
the position.
THE Japanese are using explosives
enclosed in boxes provided with Bick-
ford fuses, which they throw like hand
grenades. Our garrison is successfully
employing similar weapons.
"Our indefatiguable hero Kendra-
tenko is continually inventing fresh
means of striking the enemy The
troops continue to show heroism. the
wounded returning to the ranks in
good order"
OF conditions on October General
Stoessel reports as follows:
'The Japanese have organized fresh
batteries to lombard the inner fort
ress. One of these batteries is COM
posed of 11-inch mortars. The bonn
bardment is becoming more violent
every day. The enemy has received
reinforcements of several battalions.
The weather is cold. The spirit of the
troops is excellent and all, from the
chief to the lowest soldier. are eager
to fight the enemy"
