JUDGE PARkER's ANSWER.
To the Presidents Sweeping Denial
of His Charges.

New York, Nov. G.-Judge Alton B.
Parker delivered last night his prom
ised reply to President Rooseveits
denial of conspiracy between the ad-
ministration and the trusts in the col
lection of a Republican campaign fun
In opening. Judge Parker pointed
out that in the statement issued Fri
day night the President failed to deny
that the trusts were contributors to
the Republican campaign fund. but
made pretense of refutation by
charging through inference that the
Democratic national committee was
as sinful as his own, in having itself
extracted great sums of money from
capitalistic combinations. Tremen-
dous applause followed the denial of
this inference of the President.
When he accepted the nomination.
Judge Parker said he called his man.
ayers into conference and asked them
to accept no contributions toward his
election from any trust. His audi
ence cheered the sentiment to the
echo.
And" the Judge continued. 81 am
advised by those gentlemen to-day
that my wishes in this matter have
been scrupulously followed out"
The Judge went on to ask: would
the public interests be safe In the
hands of a party the greater part of
whose campaign funds had been con-
tributed by corporations and trusts?"
IF the public welfare and the inter-
ests of subscribing corporation or trust
should conflict, what would likely be
protected?"

HUNTING BANDITS
HOT AFTER WYOMING ROBBERS
Sheriffs Fenton and Slough, with Large
Posses Following Outlaws to tho
Hole.in-the-MalI Region.

A Republican special from Deranch'
Wyoming, last night says: Your rep
Iesentative arrived here shortly aiter
sundown with Sheriff Slough or Ere
mont county and Sheriff Fenton ana
posse of Big Horn county, the officers
having found the trail of the Cody pan
dts again during the day and followed
it into the very heart of the bad lands.
They are not more than ten miles
behind Logan and his band of robbers,
Reliable information has been received
here that the bandits have taken rel
uge at the ranch house of a sympathizer
near the notorious Hole-in-the-W wall
rendezvous, southeast of this place, and
do not know that the officers have Iol-
lowed this far.
Sheriff Fenton, who is directing the
pursuit of the desperadoes, has asked
for reinforcements from Casper, 100
miles southeast of here and a telephone
message was received late tonight
stating that Sheriff Webb and a large
posse would start at once for the scene.
Fenton and his men will do little
scouting tonight and tomorrow TO
see that the outlaws do not leave their
hiding place before Sheriff Webb and
his party arrive. Should the outlaws
become alarmed and attempt to leave
the county Sheriff Webb will be ad-
vised at Yoltcn. Lest Cabin or one OF
the smaller stations on the telephone
line, and an effort will be made to in
tercept the bandits at the eastern exit
OF the Hole-in-the-Wa
Should the robbers attempt to double
back on their trail and escape by the
only other exit from tile Hole, the route
they followed in entering the rendez-
vous. they will be attacked by Fenton
and his party near this place
A bloody battle is certain to occur
during the next thirty-siX hours either
at the eastern or western exit of the
Hole, or in the vicinity of the present
hiding place Of the outlaws. Should the
bandits remain in ignorance of the
plans to bottle them up in the rendez-
yous then the fight will occur at the
ranch house of their friend, for the
two posses from the east and west will
combine forces as soon as Webb ar
rives, and close in on Logan at once.
The officers here are completely worn
out. but they are anxious for the fight
They will get almost twenty-fourh hours
rest, however. if present plans carry.
and will be in prime shape for the bat
tie when Webb arrives.

Port Arthur Doomed.

Chez Foo, Nov 4.-Port Arthur is
doomed The correspondent of the
Associated Press here has received in
formation, the reliability of which Is
beyond question. that the Japanese
now occupy positions which place the
east side of the town at their mercy.
The last assault has gained for them
positions which insure their ability to
enter the main forts whenever they
are ready. Terrific explosions here in
dicate that the Russians have exploded
mines and destroyed other property.
The Japanese calculate that If the
Russians do not surrender now they
will be capable of prolonging the fight
ing by making their final stand at LII
aoti promontory and Tigers Tail for
month longer, with the mere hope
of continuing the struggle. Long be-
fore the second Pacific squadron ar
rives in the Pacific, the Japanese flag
it is now believed will wave over the
wrecked citadel.

IS SUNK
DESTROYED BY RUSSIAN MINE
Loss Of ons Of Japan's Best Battle
ships.-Report Confirmed by
Associated Press.

Paris, Nov. 4.-The Associated Press
was put in position to-day to state
positively that its dispatches from
Che Foo, Port Arthur and Toxic
to the effect that the japanese
battleship Yashima had been sunk by
mine off Dalny, which dispatches
were denied by the Japanese authori-
ties at the time, have finally been OIL
cially confirmed. The Japanese gov
ernment has notified foreign govern
ments of the loss of the ship. The
number of men who went down with
the vessel is not known, but it Is be-
lieved to have been small. The Off
Gal details show that the Yashima
struck a Russian mine and later at
tempted to make Dalny harbor, but
this proved Impossible, AID she sank
in deep water.
The loss of the Yashima has been
concealed by the japanese, though the
Russian authorities have believed Tor
some time that the reports That the
battleship had been DESTROYED were
correct. 1t is important, since 1t Is
now DISCLOSE. that Japan has only four
modern battleships remaining.
These are the Asahi. full. Mikasa
and Shikishima. Another vessel classed
as as battleship is the Chinyen, taken
from China in 1894. but she is old and
not of much fighting value.
The Yashima was one of the finest
battleships of the japanese navy. Her
displacement was 12,340 tons. about
the size of the American battleship
Maine. and she had speed OF nine
teen knots. She carried a heaVy pat-
terry of four twelve-inch, ten siN-lnch
and four other guns OF smaller caliper
The Russian squadron at Port Arthur
Includes five modern battleships more
or less damaged, and Rear Admiral ho-
jestvensk..'s command, which is now
en- route from the Baltic to the Far
East, also numbers five battleships: In
view of the inferiority of the Jap.
anese in battleships, their armored
cruisers strength is important, they
being greatly superior to the Russians
iN this respect.

President Issues a Denial.

Washington. Nov. 5.-President
Roosevelt last night made signed
statement to the American people, In
answer to the charges promulgated
against himself and Mr.. Cortelyou in
public speeches by Judge Parker, Dem,
ocratic candidate for the presidency.
President Roosevelt says:
1.-The assertion that Mr.. Cortelyou
had any knowledge gained while in
any official position, whereby he was
enabled to secure and did secure any
contributions from any corporations, is
a falsehocd.
"The assertion that there has been
any blackmail, direct or indirect, by
Mr.. Cortelyou, or by me, is false
hood.
THE assertion that there has been
made, in my behalf of and by my au.
thorization by Mr.. Cortelyou. or by
myself, any pledge, or that there has
been any understanding as to future
benefits, in recognition of any contri.
button from any source, is a wicked
falsehood."

Dipping Sheep.

Denver, Nov. 5.-Inspectors OF the
State Board of Stock Inspection Com
missioners are just now breaking rec
ords in dipping sheep in accordance
with the regulations of the board for
eradicating scab In Colorado. Scott
w. Peck. inspector in Las Animas
county. has just reported to Charles
G.. Lamb. state veterinary surgeon
that during the past two months he
has dipped $4,000 head of sheep in that
county. Leslie Elmore. inspector for
Huerfano county. has a record of 81
100 sheep dipped for the same length
Of time. According to DR.. Lamb IL,
sheepmen of the state are taking hold
of the dipping proposition in earnes'
and seem determined to stamp the
scab out Of their flocks. The theorv
of dipping under the supervision of the
stock inspectors of the board it Is
thought. will better the condition OF
Colorado sheep very materially. and
Dir. Lamb believes it will be. only a
short time before sheep scab will be
unknown in Colorado.
The inspectors will continue dipping
as long as the weather permits anC
will resume operations in the spring
as soon as it is possible TO do so.

May Reopen Grant smeltcr.

Denver. Nov. 5.-The News this
morning says: Is the Grant smelter to
be opened again for business after a
long period of idleness? This report
has been In circulation for several
months and it has always been denied
at the headquarters of the American
Smelling and Refining Company in
Denver. Yesterday, however. the re.
port was again circulated, with EN-.
phasis, and Franklin Guiterman. gen.
eral manager of the smelter trust, re-
fused to either deny or affirm the re,
port. This is taken as an indication
that something is doing.
According to the report, the Grant
smelter is to be rebuilt at cost OF
100000. Plans are now being drawn
for the improvements, it is said. and
work is soon to begin.

Japanese Denial.

London, Nov. 6.-Baron Hayashi, the
Japanese minister here, asked re-
garding the report current at st. Pc
tersburg that the Japanese minister at
The Hague had organized an attack on
the Russian squadron. emphatically de-
MED that any action had been taken at
The Hague. He said:
''In their daily different explana-
tions the Russians alternately credit
us with supernatural cleverness and
foolishness. If people would only stop
to think. they would see that it would
be almost suicidal for us to risk the
friendship of any power by an attempt
to destroy the Russian squadron from
a neutral mort when it is to our ut
most advantage that the squadron
should arrive in our own waters under
its present admiral"
