WORST SINCE SEDAN
Japs Confident Of Victory, but Look
for Carnage at Port Arthur.

=
Toxic, Aug. 25.-Final assault on.
Port Arthur is believed to be i'm
minent. Hundreds Of Japanese guns
continue to pour destructive fire into
the city and harbor along the lines Of
forts and entertainments preparatory
for the infantry assault.
1t is evident that the Russian lines
have been weakened and partly pene-
trated in the vicinity of An-tsze-Shan
and Etze-shan forts.
The entire line of Russian defenses
Immediately about the harbor are
within range of the Japanese guns.
A number of Russian forts and bat
teries continue to be vigorous. The
creased before these batteries are cap
tured. The direction of the Japanese
attack creates the impression that the
city and defenseS on either side of the
harbor entrance will fall first.
Japanese official channels of in-
formation remain closed, and the navy
departments announcement of the
striking of a mine by the battleship
Sevastopol and the firing upon the
Russian forts by the cruisers Nlsshin
and Kasuga yesterday are the only
disclosures made for several days.
It is believed that both sides have
suffered heavy losses, and that the
| final record will make the siege the
bloodiest since Sedan. The japanese

MIDNIGHT COUNCIL HELD
President with Cortelyou and Root
Sits Up Late.

Oyster Bay, L. T., Aug. 25.--After a
conference with the president, which
extended far into last night and was
resumed early today, National Chair
man George B: Cortelyou and former
Secretary of War Elihu Root left
today for New York. They declined
to discuss the details Of their con-
ference.
A part Of their mission to Saga
more Hill, it was said, was to look
over the presidents letter of accept
ance. Mr.. Root had not seen the let
ter before and as he expects shortly
to leave on an extended trip, the pres
ident invited him to come to Oyster
Bay in order that he might have the
benefit of his counsel and suggestion.
The president, it was stated today,
is determined not to interfere in the
New York situation and hopes the
delegates to the Saratoga convention
may be left to make the nomination
for themselves.

NORTHWEST GETS
CANNON AND BEDE

Which Is Declared Safe for
Roosevelt.
New York Sun Special Service.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-Speaker Joseph
Cannon goes into Indiana on Sept /
to make speeches, and the republican
western committeeman declare the
state is safe" There is no inten-
tional connection between the fact Of
Cannon's tour and the theory Of re-
publican success in the pivotal state,
but the announcement Of the one was
followed yesterday by that Of the
other.
Indiana, always state Of hot polit-
ical contests, is doubly certain Of be-
ing the field for one this campaign,
and democratic hopes Of electing
Judge Parker are based on Mr.. Tag
CARTS reputed ability to carry his
own state.
Cannon goes to Richmon Sept. l.,
and to Marion Sept. 2. He will be
with Congressman James A. Watson
for two weeks after which he will
be with Congressman J. Adam Bede
Of Minnesota, for two weeks in the

FROM BURROS TO
RAILROAD PALACE
Mexican Multimillionaire Peon
of Yesterday, Will Tour
Native Land.
New York Sun Special Service.


Mexico, Mex, Aug 25.-Pedro AL
varado, the multimillionaire Of Par
raj, Mex. who few years ago was a
common peon working in a mine for
80 cents a day, has ordered a solid
train Of five luxurious private cars in
which he will make a tour Of Mexico,
including a visit to this city.
He will travel in regal splendor and
his armed bodyguard of 100 hand
somely uniformed men will accom-
pany him on the journey and be his
companions wherever he goes while in
this and other cities.
Alvarado has just finished his man
zion at Parral
His new palace, which is the show
place Of Parral, is built Of marble.
There is a piano in almost every
room. In the court in the middle
structure a regiment could drill with
out rubbing it's elbows against the rare
columned sides Of the portico.
All the furniture in the house has
been brought from Spain and Grand
Rapids, Mich. The things are Italian
and Alvarado has brought artists and
decorators from Spain and France to
embellish the walls Of his mansion.
Until the completion of the mansion
he lived where he had lived for eleven
years-in a two-room hovel in the
least desirable part of town.
More than a year ago Alvarado
made an offer to pay the government
public debt of Mexico. He said he had
obtained his fabulous wealth from the
soil Of Mexico, and thought he ought
to donate that much Of it to the gov
eminent. This offer was declined by
Minister of Finance Li1nantour.
The only time Alvarado has been out
og the Parral mining district was two
days ago, when he chartered a special
train and took his family with him to
the City Of Chihuahua to have a colo
filing put in one of his teeth.
It is said he will meet President
Diaz by special appointment while
here. He has fear Of banks and the
many millions of his wealth are sale
to be stored in a strong steel cage ii
his residence, where it is constantly
guarded by armed men.
1t is expected that Alvarado will
give away great deal Of money dur
ing his tour, and it is feared his body.
guard will be none too large.

RUSSIA DISARMS
SHANGHAI SHIPS
Yields to Powers in Dismantling
Askold and Grozovoi Till
War Is Over.
Britain Will Aid Russia in Stop
ping Seizures by the
Smolensk.

Shanghai, Aug. 25.-An order was
received at $3.50 o'clock last night
from the Russian minister at Picking
that the cruiser Askold and the tor
pedoboat destroyer Grozovoi are to be
disarmed.
Yesterday was day Of considerable
anxiety in official circles. First an
remain four days longer. Then ne
gotiations were begun for another
four days. This request was pressed
by the Russian minister at Picking,
but it was absolutely refused by the
Chinese government.
Thereupon an order came to Shang-
hal to rush work on the vessels and
next Sunday. The abject distress Of
the Askold's crew when this news was
received was pitiable. From the first
the officers and crew have urged dis
armament, but the minister at Pc
king would not consider the sugges-
ton.
The dock managers yesterday noti-
fed the Russian officials that the AS
kold's hull could not be repaired by
Sunday. More telegraphing to Peking
followed, and last night the welcome
order to dismantle was received.
Under the supervision of the GUS
toms authorities representing China,
the Askold and Grozovoi will go out
of commission before Sunday, and as
soon as they are patched up they will
take their places alongside the gun
boat Mandjur, which was dismantled
| last March.
Emperor Nicholas sent message
to the crews of the Askold and Gro
| zovoi congratulating them for saving
the vessels and conveying words of
| hope. There is general satisfaction
here over the outcome Of the matter.
It is understood that the Japanese
| fleet will remain until the Russian
vessels are completely, disarmed.

STEEL TRUST EMPLOYEES
GETTING NO PROFITS
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Aug. 25.-It is reported
from Philadelphia that the profit
sharing of the steel corporation has
come to an end. The plan, as pro-
~vided for in the latter part Of 1902,
was that per cent should be set aside
for employees, If the earnings should
be between sS0,O0O,OO0 and s90,000,-
600, the fund increasing with the
earnings.
AS the earnings for the first half Of
the present year have been less than
33,0O0,0O0, it is believed the plan is
no longer in operation. 1t was also
reported that officers Of the corpora
ton have found that the profit shar-
ing plan was not increasing the efforts
of its employees as they had hoped.
Secretary Trimble of the corporation
denies that the profit-sharing plan is
to be done away with.

New York Sun Special Service.
Topeka, Kan, Aug. 25.-The Kan
sas association Of cities of the first
and second class has adopted reso-
luton for maintaining separate
schools for negroes and for white
pupils.
The resolution states that the race
question has grown so serious in Kan
sas as to make action necessary.
Steps were taken to bring the matter
before the next legislature. A COM
mittee was appointed to draft a law
to be submitted to the legislature and
money was raised to maintain a
strong lobby to work for the bill. "A
vigorous campaign in favor of the
law will be waged in all portions OF
the state. It will become an issue
in the next election, as all candidates
for the legislature will be asked to
pledge themselves.

BITTER CONTEST
IN MORMONLAND
Republican State Convention Has
Three Who Aspire to Gov
ernorship.
Salt Lake, Utah,

Salt Lake, Utah, Aug. 25.-The re-
publican state convention met here
today to name three presidential cleo
tors, a congressman and complete
state ticket. The fight for the gov
ernorship between Governor H. M.
Wells, who desires a third term, John
C. Cutler of Salt Lake City, and Sec
rotary of State James H. Hammond,
has absorbed the attention Of dele
gates to the exclusion of all other
offices. Open charges of church in
f1uences have been made against the
candidacy of Mr.. Cutler, who is being
supported by Senator Smoot, and
some exceedingly interesting debate
was looked for on the floor of the
convention.
State Chairman James H. Anderson
called the convention to order and
introduced George M. Cannon of Salt
Lake City as temporary chairman.

PRESIDENT TO TOUCH ON
CANADIAN RECIPROCITY
New York Sun Special Service.

Toronto, Aug. 25.-The Toronto
World this morning prints the fol-
lowing special from Oyster Bay, dated
Aug. 29d:
president Roosevelt is alarmed by
the magnitude of the demand for
Canadian reciprocity in New, Eng
land, which the national administra-
mite action is concerned and will
take the matter up in his letter Of ac-
ceptance. From what standpoint he
will deal with 1t and what recommen-
dation he may make is not disclosed
at present. The presidents idea is,
however, that something must be
done. He expressed the fear that
New England would show a great re-
publican detection, especially in Mas
sachusetts, due to the scant recogni-
ton given reciprocity in the Chicago
platform"

st. Louis, Aug. 25.-Despite stories
of the possibility Of Sunday opening,
which have been printed broadcast Of
late, it has been declared by a repre-
sentative of the exposition company

seriously by the board of directors or
the executive committee.
The members of the board Of di-
rectors Of the worlds fair signed a
contract with the United States gov
eminent STIMULATING that the EXPOSE
ton was not to be opened on Sunday.
They are bonded individually in large
amounts to carry out this contract.

Lamont Choice Of Democrats.

The democratic situation is almost
a parallel to that just described. Dan
lei S. Lamont Is the choice of the rank
and file of the New York democracy
for the governorship, but he does not
want to make the race. His chief
reason for objecting is the fact that
he is strongly opposed by David b.
Hill, who at present is the boss of the
New York democracy. IF Hill were
to yield, Lamont would be nominated
by reclamation, but Hill says he will
not yield, and so the talk is more of a
dark horse" than it is of the one
man whom the party really wants.

New York, Aug. 25.-An interesting
story Of how Marcus DAILY craftily
hoodwinked the Standard Oil people
and bled them for s24,000,000 for a
property he had offered for $4,000
900 to the Rothschilds, is told in the

BY w. w. Jermane.

New York, Aug. 25.-The task Of
selecting candidates for governor Of
New York is one of unusual difficulty
this year, as both republican and dem
Ocratic managers are learning. The
men who could have the nominations
seem not to want them, and the men
who do want them number about a
score on each side. and all Of them
have influential followings. The re-
publican state convention will be held
Sept. ID. and the democratic conven-
ton a few days later. Both sides will
defer the selection of gubernatorial
candidates until the last moment, be-
state ticket this year will have an i'm
portant bearing on the presidential
situation.
There is a ground swell among re-
publicans in favor Of the nomination
of Elihu Root, who is without question
the strongest man in the New York
party, and his name on the state tick
ct would do more than anything else
to insure New York for Roosevelt.
But Root does not want to run. He
has made important sacrifices for the
republican party, and besides the gov
ernorship has no attraction for him.
If he wants anything, it is seat in
ored by Governor Odell, at present the
boss of the party. Odeu is anxious
to nominate for governor some man
who will continue the Odell policy
Root might not do this. Odell wants
to go to the senate. Root might
stand in his way. So 1t happens thai
Root, even If the governorship had at
fractions for him, would be fearful OF
Odell and disinclined to make the ven
ture, for without Odell's help he could
hardly hope to be elected. The de-
mand for Root continues, however
and it may assume such proportions
as to bowl Odell over, in which event
New York, thus far looked upon as
doubtful, may confidently be put dowr
| as being for Roosevelt.
