RUSSIAN ARMY
MOVING ON THE ENEMY.

Mukden, Oct. 10, p. NAT last
the correspondents are permitted to
telegraph the news that the Russian
army is moving upon the Japanese.
They have waited a long time for
this moment, the turning point in the
campaign.
The advance actually began, Oct. 5,
and the preparations were enveloped
in the greatest secrecy.
Last night a correspondent of the AS
ISOLATED Press telegraphed the first
news that the forward march had be-
gun auspiciously for the Russians, the
Japanese having lost most import
ant fortified position, Bentsfaputze, the
key of the Bensihu roads and the ford
of the Taitse river, and having ex-
posed their right flank.
This morning came the news that
the Japanese were being driven back
along the whole front.
But these are only advance guard
successes. The heavy work is still
ahead and Russian victory will on
ly be certain when the Russians re-
enter Liao Yang.
1t is necessary to study the Japanese
dispositions, telegraphed to the Asso-
ciated Press last night, i'm order to
appreciate Gen. Kuropatkin's task. The
Japanese armies are prepared to meet
the Russians and the advance of the
latter is expected to develop quickly
The decisive moment of the campaign
is close at hand.

JUDGE PARKER'S CALLERS.
Chairman TagEnrt Had "a Talk on
the Indinnn Campaign.

New York, Oct 10.-Eight callers
were received by Judge Parker to-day
at his apartments at the Hotel Seville.
where he win remain until Thursday
night, son the fifth OF his political visits
to New York. The visitors included
Representative Robert f. Broussard of
Louisiana, who has been making
speeches in a number of Northern
states; National Chairman Tom Tag
gart and National Treasurer George
Foster Peabody.
Mr.. Taggart had a long visit with
Judge Parker tonight. Inasmuch as
the national chairman is soon to leave
FOR Indiana TO give 20 the situation
there most of his time until election
day, the conversation was confined all
most exclusively TO the campaign in
that state.
II has been decided by Mr.. Taggart
and his associates that his political ex-
perience will be needed in the West
hereafter, and while ne will be kept
advised on everything that takes place
in national headquarters. the active
management of the East will fall al
most entirely on Senator German and
Vice Chairman Delaney Nicoll, with
William r. Sheehan devoting much of
his attention to the situation in New
York
In this connection. II is said Col.
Daniel $. Lamont Secretary of War
under former President Cleveland, will
be Identified with the campaign closer
than ever.
Judge Parker, II Is said. does not in
tend to spend more than one or two
days out of each week i'm New York
after he returns home on Thursday.
A number Of delegations have asked
for dates when they may visit the
candidate at Esopus. The Avon Beach
Regular Democratic Club will go to
Esopus on a special train Saturday.
The programme does not provide fo.'
speech-making on this occasion, but It
is planned thereafter that Judge Par
ker shall address large delegations on
political issues.

WATSON DISCUSSED THE
POLICIES OF BOTH PARTIES.
The Country Governed on star
Chamber system, He Says.


Chamber system, He Says.
Chicago, Oct. 1o.-Thomas L. Wat
son, nominee of the Peoples party for
President tonight addressed an au-
dience. which filled Princess Rink to
overfiowing. The policies of both the
Republican and Democratic parties were
scored bitterly by Wr. Watson and
his declarations were received with en-
thusiasm. Mr.. Watson spoke in part
as follows:
"One of the great sources Of trou-
BILE at present is that the people do
not initiate any policy, do not initiate
any laws, do not nominate any can
didates, do not frame any platforms.
Politically the country is governed on
the star-chamber system. The secret
back room committee is absolutely
controlling the legislation and the
destiny of the republic
THAT Parker himself is an output
of this star chamber method of gov
ernment no intelligent man will deny
All the reason why he cannot take amy
bold step in any possible direction, nor
declare himself openly to be opposed
to any principle of the Republican
party. is that he dare not offend the
star-chamber influences who purchased
the editors and the delegates and Sc
cured the nomination for him.
Altogether, the campaign is an eff
fort to delude the people, a confidence
game. and playing with loaded dice.
as Bryan called it. We have a cam
paign against trusts, financed by the
Standard Oil Company; a campaign
against extravaganza led by men who,
when entrusted with power in 1892, on
platform pledging them to rigorous
economy, increased the public debt
1852 100000 in time of peace, without
having bought Panama or the Phil
ippines, or anything else, except the
paper parchment upon which they
printed the bonds; a campaign against
militarism, inaugurated by the men
who lent the United States army to
the Pullman Palace Car Company to
quell a strike at the point of the bay
onet; campaign for tariff reform, led
by men who opposed the income tax
and who. when they had the power in
1892 to reform the tariff, deputized a
Democratic cabinet member to write
the sugar schedule just as Havemeyer
directed; a prohibition campaign led
by the whisky trust; a. labor movement
led by Bell and Frick and Peabody.
"A crusade against gambling led by
Richard Garfield of New York and
Tom Taggart of Indiapa, would not be
more of self-eviden9 and brazen at
tempt to deceive thah this Parker
campaign, which pretehds to be against
class legislation and AT the same time
is led and cashed by such beneficiaries
of class legislation as August Bel
mont, the Standard Oil Company and
kindred corporations of the Wall street
order"

PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF CARS.

Chicago. Oct. 10.-What is regarded
as one Of the most important sessions
Of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion this year. was held here to-day.
The feature Of the meeting was an
inquiry into relations Of private car
companies and railroad companies and
the effect on trade.
j. w. Midgely, the principal witness,
declared that the system Of private
ownership of cars. had the railroad
companies firmly in It's grasp" and
was zone Of the greatest powers ever
known"
Mr.. Midgely's testimony tended 10
show that by a comprehensive system
Of rebates the commissions. transpor-
tation Of many Of the principal COM
modities of commerce Is almost wholly
within the grasp OF the private car
companies which are able to regulate
rates and prices to a degree that prac-
tically stiles competition.
The movement 10 Investigate the

WYNNE RECEIVES
SH0RT-TIME APPOINTMENT.
wiII Be Postmaster General Until
CorteIyou CanS'Take the Place.


CorteIyou CanssTake the Place.
Washington, Oct. 10. - President
Roosevelt to-day announced the ap-
pointment of Robert ]. Wynne, acting
postmaster general, as Postmaster
General. The appointment is tempo
rary, and George B. Cortelyou will
succeed to the office about Jan. l, next,
Mr.. Wynne resuming the position of
first assistant Chief Clerk John j.
Hawley of the first assistants office
will become acting first assistant and
no new appointment to that place VIII
be made. Mr.. Wynne was inducted In
to his new office this afternoon.
The appointment of Mr.. Wynne as a
member of the Presidents cabinet was
not unexpected by those in close touch
with the situation. 1t was desirable
that, as the appointment was to be
only temporary, the man seiected
should be familiar with the business
of the department, and, that 1t would
be better for the affairs of the depart
ment be directed by a Postmaster Cen
eral than by merely an acting official.
In addition to these reasons, the Presi-
dent desired. by appointing Mr.. Wynne,
thus to seal with approval his conduct
of the business of the first assistant
postmaster generals office.
Mr.. Wynne was appointed first as
sistant postmaster general on April
II, 1902. He had not been in the office
of the first assistant many months be-
fore he became convinced that some OF
the affairs of the department were not
being conducted honestly. He obtain
ed definite information bearing upon
the matter. This he laid before Post
master General Payne and the Presi-
dent. After a cursory inquiry, the
President and Mr.. Payne decided to or
der an investigation. The result OF
that inauiry now is a matter of record.

A BATTLE TO DECIDE THE
MANCHURIAN CAMPAIGN.
kurOpatISin Marching Against the
Enemy TO Do or Die.

kuFOpatIxin Marching Against the
Enemy TO Do or Die.
St. Petersburg, Oct. IL, 2:15 a. ma
battle upon which the fate of this
years campaign in Manchuria depends
seems only few days ahead. Ad-
vices from the front are meager. All
that is positively known officially, is
that Gen. Kuropatkin has cast the die
at last. about-faced his army and is
marching resolutely against the enemy
as if resolved to do or die.
According to unofficial reports Field
Marshal Oyama. at the first sign OF
Gen. Kuropatkin taking the offensive,
began drawing in his line and concen-
trating upon fortified positions north
of Lao Yang. According to the lat
est reports. which are contained in a
dispatch to the Associated Press from
Mukden, dated at 6 o'clock tonight,
the Japanese outposts are being driven
IN all along the line.
1t is not clear whether Gen. Kuro-
patkin contemplates blow on the left,
center or right of the Japanese army,
but the fact that stress is laid upon
the capture of Bensiaputze, which
opens the road and fords to Bensihu,
twenty miles east of Lao Yang, where
Gen. Kuroki crossed and that Cos
sacks are already reported in the
neighborhood of the stream, might
foreshadow an exact reversal of the
battle of Lao Yang, this time the Rus
sian commander fianking and turning
l.iao Yang with his left as Field Mar
shal Oyama did with his right.
Little light has been thrown upon
the considerations which led Gen. ku-
ropatkin suddenly to assume the Of
fensive: but no word is heard at the
war office intimating that the course
savors of rashness. Officers of the
general staff. while not under -estimat-
ing the heavy task and severe sacrifices
that are involved in assuming the Of
fensive, nevertheless express absolute
confidence that Gen. Kuropatkin has
found weak point In the Japanese
armor. Different explanations abound
as to the reason for making the forward
movement at this time. The advance
is attributed to a realization by Gen.
kuropatkin Of the difficulty the Jap
anese have encountered in making good
their losses at Lao Yang and replen-
ishing their supplies and ammunition.
or possibly TO the drawing Of por-
ton Of the Japanese troops to REIN
force Gen. Nog I'm a desperate effort
TO end the siege Of Port Arthur.
IN political circles considerable stress
IS laid upon the moral effect upon the
Chinese that may be expected from
Gen. kuropatkin advancing without
being compelled TO abandon the sacred
city Of Mukdon, it being remembered

ing of Importance at Port Arthur since
the last big assault on the fortress,
(from Sept. 10 to Sept. 2S.)
On the night of Oct. 5, the Jap

and the Russians retired in the face
of superior numbers. The next day,
however, the Japanese were driven out
by an artillery fire, one gun which
they had mounted being destroyed.
The Japanese engage in lombard

ject of destroying the Russian fleet,
and succeeded in sinking three vessels,
the names and character Of which are

The failure of the Port Arthur fleet
to make sortie is creating the i'm

TO Be UnprOtected-St. Petersburg
Hears Cheering News-Mukden
Dispatches Say There Has Been "A
Decided Change in the Situation,
ing SOuthwaFd-TOkiO Hears OF
Losses of Russian War Vessels.
While Gen. Kuropatkin has contin-
ued to advance his entire front against
the armies of Field Marshal Oyama, he
has not met with any formidable op-
position. However, the expectation is
that battle of magnitude must be
fought within a few days. 1t is be.
neved that the Japanese will make a
stand at Lao Yang. Several positions
east of that place have been aban-
by the Japanese.
At st. Petersburg it is surmised that
Field Marshal Oyama's forces have
been weakened by the dispatch of
troops to aid Gen. Nogi in reducing
Port Arthur, and that this condition
has afforded Gen. Kuropatkin an op-
portunity to recover ground lost dur
ing the month of August.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 10, 6:15 p. M
Gen. Kuropatkin is in the field, per-
sonally directing the forward move
ments of the army. which, it is under
stood, is divided into two strong col
umns moving on each side of the rail-
road, whence they will draw their sup
plies, their fanks being assured by no
less than $50 squadrons of Cossacks.
The Russians are operating along
front of between forty and forty-five
mile, extending from Kaoutou pass to
Bentsiaputze on the east and across
the Hun river to the left bank of the
Lao river on the west. They are TAX
ing every precaution against possible
counter-atta throwing up entrench-
ments as they advance southwark.
Field Marshal Oyama, however, has
not yet shown a disposition to strongly
hold his outer positions.
The evacuation of Bentsiaputze left
the flank of the japanese. position at
the Yentai mines unprotected and news
Of the abandonment of the mines is,
therefore, hourly expected.
The Japanese appear to be concen-
trating their forces in the fortifications
formerly occupied by the Russians on
the right bank of the Taitse river,
which are exceedingly strong, and they
have an equally good defense north
and south.
The japanese retired from Bentsia-
putze almost without a struggle, fear
ing that Gen. Mistchenko's Cossacks
would surround the position and cut
them off.
Bentsiaputze is of the highest impor-
tance, commanding the roads from
Mukden and Fushdn to Lao Yang and
Bensihu.
Private advices from Mukden just
received indicate that the artillery is
already at work.
An engagement is reported to have
occurred yesterday on the Russian
right flank, fourteen miles southwest
of Mukden.
Such news of the Russian move
ments as may be given out without
compromising the advance is likely to
be telegraphed by Gen. Kuropatkin
each evening, after the days work in
the field is over.

JAPANESE ARMY
MOVING SOUTHWARK

st. Petersburg. Oct. 10.-A dispatch
to the Bourse Gazette from Mukden,
dated yesterday, says:
"The general situation at the seat of
war has materially changed. The Jap
anese main army is retiring south
ward. It's righ: wing has gone thirty
miles southwark, evacuating SIAN
shan, Sinangai, Saimatsze, Fenshui
Pass and the neighborhood of Kwan-
diansian. The Japanese are thus CIV
ing up not only the positions which
they occupied after the battle of Lao
Yang, but places they had previously
taken"
