Movements at the Front DO Not
Amount to Much.


st. Petersburg, Sept. 29.-Move-
ments at the front SO far as disclosed
by the meager dispatches received
here, are confined almost to continuous
outpost skirmishes by means of which
General Kuropatkin is keeping in close
touch with the Japanese along the
whole of their front. Field Marshal
Oyama's advance appears to be ex-
tremely deliberate. There r no in
dications as yet that he has begun to
overlap Russian positions.
The superiority of the Russian cav
airy is beginning to be apparent. They
have had the best of it in a number Of
minor encounters.
1t appears that General Rennen-
kampff's movement to the southwark
on Sept. 10 extended beyond the dis
lance indicated by first reports. His
Cossacks made a rapid sweep on Sept.
% and struck a Japanese force at Ben
sihu, threatening their communications
and causing considerable excitement.
R~einforcements are rapidly arriving
at Mukden. and many con%valescents
are already returning to duty.
It is reported that General Kuropat-
kin has made a requisition upon the
authorities here for additional officers
to make up the heavy losses in killed
and wounded in the battle OF Lao
yang.

Conference Between italian Premier

Berlin, Sept. 29.-Signor Giollitti,
the Italian premier, left Hamburg
Wednesday for Racconigi, Italy, after
a two days visit to Chancellor o
Buelow, which, at this juncture of in
ternational affairs, has naturally given
rise to ~conjectures that the conference
concerned partly the question of
mediatory offers in the far Eastern
war. The German, as we'll as the Brit
ish and Italian press, was quick to
comment on this probability. The con-
lectures, however, have brought out
equally prompt denials from the gov
eminent organs. The National lei

graph, styling the reports that the con

mediation as absurd f~abrications."
| Several of the newspapers close to the
government point out that owing to
the absence of an expression Of de-
sire for mediation on the part of
either belligerent mediatory proposals
are out of the question. No trustS
worthy statement regarding the real
purport of the conference has been
given out.

discusses the Charges Of Corruption
Against Republican Party.

Helena, Mont, Sept. 29.-In his
principal speech here last night, Sena-
tor Fairbanks discussed at some
length the charges of corruption made
against the Republican party, extend
ing and making more specific his re-
marks ar Great Falls. He RETAINED
carefully from mention of Judge Par
ker's name, but it vas understood by
oil that the speech was inspired by
the ~utterances OF the Democratic can
didate on this subject in his letter OF
acceptance. Speaking Of the part
played by President Roosevelt in the
prosecution Of the postofice scandals,
Fairbanks said he has enforced the
laws. He has driven corruption out OF
public places. Some dishonest men
were bound to get positions in
the vast army of postal employees.
Some were Democrats, some Republi-
cans; all who were found guilty were
punished. Senator Fairbanks paid
high tribute to President ROosevelts
character and his remarks were ap-
plauded.
MI. Fairbanks also discussed the
tariff question and the subject of lrri-
CATION, again giving the president and
Senator Carter credit for much that
has been done toward extending Wv
eminent and in the reclamation OF the
arid lands. There were two meetings
here last night, M being held at the
Auditorium and the other at the
Helena theater. Senator Fairbanks
and Senator Deliver spoke at botn
meetings.
During the day there was less
speaking than usual. At Great Fails
a few remarks were made to an Assem-,
bly, Of workmen from the smelter
! There was a brief stop at Cascade
| where Senator Fairbanks spoke briefly
to a number of school children.

HEAVY Loss TO JAPs.
Said to Have Suffered Seven Thousand
Casualties at Port Arthur.

Chefoo. Sept. 29.-Russians residing
here claim to have received informa-
ton that the Japanese losses in the
last assault on Port Arthur, which be-
gan Sept. 10, were 1000. A Chinese
who left the fortress on Sept. 26 says
that the Russian losses were between
500 and 600.
This Chinaman says that the Japan
csc were unable to remain in the three
supplementary forts which they cap
tured and that they retired at 4 o'clock
pm the afternoon of Sept. 26, after en-
during several days of tremendous FIR
ing from the inner forts.
He adds that the Russians attempted
to bury the dead of both sides at night,
because the ~decomposing bodies seri-
ously menace the health of the garri-
son. The Russians allege that it is
the deliberate policy Of the Japanese
to undermine the health of the Russian
troops by means of the doors from the
accomplishing bodies and that for this
reason they fire on the BURIAL parties
