No opinion will be furnished to
the secretary of State by Attorney
General Charles T. Gates Jr., upon
the question Of what part Of the pro-
posed constitutional amendments to
be voted on at the ensuing Novem-
Der election should be printed on
ballots. Secretary Morton had
planned to furnish election officers
with a guide by which to go in hav-
ing the ballots printed. In reply to
q request, Gen. Gates has written the
secretary of State that he knows of
no statute authorizing him to pre-
scribe what shall be legal ballot,
and he also advises that there is no
provision of the statute requiring
the secretary Of State to furnish
Information to election officers as to
what constitutes legal ballot. He
states that the question submitted is
one that is wholly within the prov
ince Of the commissioners of regis

judges Of election are the judges Of
the validity and legality of ballots

COMMERCE SHOWS
A LARGE INCREASE
Value In Philippines Shows Gain Of
More Than a Million Dollars.
FALLING OFF IN THE EXPORTS
This Is Said to BE the Result of De-
creased Shipments In Copra md
Sugar--United states Distances
All Competitors.

Washington, Aug. 29.-During nine
months ended March last, the total
commerce of the Philippine islands
shows an increased value of more than
a million dollars at the bureau Of in
sular affairs. The statement says that
the Philippines advanced nearly two
million dollars In value, and that
slight falling off shown in the exports
as result Of decreased shipments in
copra and sugar, although hemp and
tobacco are exported in larger amounts
than for the corresponding time Of the
previous year. Excluding gold and
silver and United States government
purchases, the customs house returns
give the total value of perchandise inn
ported for the nine months ended
March, 1904, at s25,927O24, and the
exports at $22 6,169, a seven per
cent. increase In imports and two per
cent. increase in exports. The rice
growing sections of the British and
French East Indies have enjoyed most
Of the increase in trade, the latter ter
ritory sending three-fourths of the
$10,0O0,000 worth of rice received.
Except for those countries from
which rice is obtained, the statement
says that for the first time since
American occupation, the United States
leads in the amount of merchandise
sent to the islands, and that the OUT
going trades shows decline in the
value of shipments to the United States,
more than 100000 of the loss beng
credited to sugar exports and $600,OO0
to hemp. More than one-half of the
imports consisted of food and ami
mails, while the exports were chiefly
agricultural products, hemp exports
amounting to $16,O00000 in round
numbers. The figures on the carrying
trade show an increase In volume of
business done under the American
| flag, the amount carried to the islands
being 81 ,535 OPT, while $2,227, ,S05 Of the
exports left the islands under the
| American flag. British vessels took
$18172,819 Importations Of -four
meats and live stock increased, while
there was a falling off in receipts OF
liquors and beverages, owing to local
brewers and distillers having increased
their output.
Imports Of cotton goods dropped
from $5,13S,112 to $3,509,992; iron and
steel imports rose to $1,s14,511, a gain

DAVID B. HILL.

New York Political Leader, Who Says He
viii Retire
democratic administrations, or again
become a candidate for election to any
Office whatever.
Former Senator Hill made these
statements ON the eve Of his birthday
anniversary, which comes Monday. He
was born August 20, 1S43. f a.ge
In a partial explanation, he said that
he had intended to take such action
year ago, but was persuaded by some
close personal friends to defer doing so
until after the presidential election
this year. Having been engaged in
active politics since his youth, and
having served as city attorney, alder
man and mayor of Elmira, member of
the legislature, lieutenant governor,
governor seven years, and United
States senator for six years, he feels
that he has been sufficiently honored
by his party, and that he has rendered
political service during period OF
years sufficient to enttle him to be
relieved of further active political ef-
fort. He desires to devote more time
to his personal affairs and professional
duties than he has in the past.
Mr.. Hill will continue his work In
the present campaign, and to his
friends said that he would always
maintain his interest in democratic
success, but only as private citizen
Mr.. Hill will speak for the democracy
at the county fair to be held at Whit
ney's Point, in this state, on Wednes-
day of this week, to be followed by
Senator Depew the next day for the
republicans.

gradually drawing I'M his advanced po-

fenses.
After three days OF heavy fighting,
THE latter part of which was impededi
by rain, the Russians were compelled
to disable six guns which 1t was impos-
sible TO talue from the high positions
over the muddy roads, but during the
fighting on the southern front they
captured some Japanese guns. 1t Ii

Japanese mountain batteries
Gen. Kuropatkin has not yet dis
closed whether he intended to make a
decisive fight at Liao Yang.
General disappointment is expressed
by the newspaper correspondents at the
withdrawals nowin progress. The state
ment that the reserves were not called
upon to hold some Of the positions
which were abandoned seems to show
that There is strong force at Lao
Yang which is not yet being utilized.
At the same time, from private mes
sages received from Lao Yang II
might be inferred that a heavy move
ment northward has been progressing
for some days.

the Stricken City.
Che-Foo, Aug 20 Information
which to very great extent confirms
previous reports of the condition at
Port Arthur was received here Sunday
by junks, which left there ON August
"a and August 26. The most important
statement agreed to by passengers on
those junks who we're interviewed by a
correspondent, confirms the report that
the Russians have been driven from
the fort Immediately east of the rail-
road This fort is named Rihlungshan
and is located on the top of the dra-
COON hills, along the submits of which
the eastern defenses of Port Arthur are
built.
When the Russian forces retired from
Fort Iszshan, they entered Fort No. 5
to the north of Chaochanko. During
the nights Of August Is and 10, while
1t was raining, the Japanese attempted
to storm Fort Antszshan, which is a
strong position adjoining Itzshan to-
ward the city, but they were repulsed
with heavy losses.
During the night of August % he
roic band of 500 Japanese attempted to
capture Fort No. 5 in the midst of a
storm Almost the entire detachment
was killed. The Chinese declare, how
ever, that the Russians have evacuated
Fort No. 5, but whether by reason of
this assault or the Japanese artillery
fire can not be learned.
The Japanese are unable to occupy
| No. s.
The fighting from August II to Au-
gust 20 was severe, but since the lat
ter date 1t has been comparatively
light.
On August rs the fort on Liaoti
mountain was fired on from six JAP
anese torpedo boats, but the result of
the action has not been known.
The Russian marines have left the
ships in the harbor, and are working
at the land batteries. Shells from the
Japanese fire continue to fall in Port
Arthur, and the dock yards and the
warships have scattered about the har-
Dor In attempts to protect themselves
from the enemy's proiectiles.
l. A Chinese who was employed on the
docks at Port Arthur says that the
battleships Retvizan, Pobtava and Sc
vastopol are badly damaged. The first
mentioned ship rests low in the water
by the stern. The battleship Pobieds
ds in fighting condition. There are also
four gunboats and several torpedo
boat destroyers in the harbor. The
recent report that eight destroyers es-
capped from Port Arthur can not be
confirmed.

Babe Beckham Finally Arrested.

Babe Beckham was arrested last
week by Deputy United States Mar
shal W. j. Clayton for selling whis-
ky without license. The capture
was effected near Olive Hill, in Har-
din county. Beckham was taken be-
fore United States Commissioner j.
W. Stumph of Selmcr and given a
preliminary hearing. He gave bond
for his appearance before the next
term of court at Jackson. Beck
ham has quite a reputation as an
evader Of the officers OF the law. He
is young man, possessed of all the
activity Of youth. During the cold
est weather of last winter while he
was being pursued by deputy
United States marshal he rode to
the edge Of much swollen creek
in his flight, and seeing that his
capture was sure unless he swan,
got off his mule, which he was un-
able to force into the water, jumped
in and struck out for the opposite
shore. The water was swift, where
he was and washed him down stream
for nearly a mile. Climbing on the
bank he ran, with bullets whistling
around and over him. In telling
friends of his experience afterward
he said that some Of the bullets from
the deputy's gun splashed the water
in his face as he fought to save him
self in the stream. Evading arrest
since that time, Beckham has con-
tinued to sell whisky without the
license required by law until finally
overtaken by Clayton.
