had told him that ii was and the other
said il was not. Both were officials of
the city. There was a mistake some
where. The legal right of Mr. Schaf-
fer TO issue an order of the character
mentioned had been questioned by a
lawyer OF the city before the commit
tee. and the committee was anxious to
know where he had gotten his autho-,
ity. Aid. Sexton said that there had
been efforts to locate Mr. Schaffer by
telephone, and he did not say anything
more mean about him before the COM
mittee than that he was a fox"
There had been no reflections on his
official conduct. There had. in fact.
been no reflections by the council on
any officer of the city. The council
simply was endeavOring to learn some
thing about the business of the city.
The aldermen were not familiar
enough with the workings of the city

PARKER KEEPING BUSY
Democratic Candidate Doing
His Share of Work in the
National Campaign.

New York, Oct "A glance into Judge
Parker's private reception room at his
apartments at the Hotel Seville reveals
a political workshop equipped almost as
completely as his library at ROsemount.
II only needs a view of the stacks Of
correspondence and imposing looking
documents 10 corFobOrate the report that
the Democratic presidential candidate in
tends spending a great deal of his time
between now and election day IN New
York, where ne can keep in close touch
with the campaign.
That Judge Parker is acquanting HIM
self with the minutost details 81 the can
vass in every one of the states placed
by either party in the doubtful column
is evident from his discussions with
campaign managers. Many reports are
being made to Judge Parker by several
workers which do not pass through the
hands Of the national committee. Every
letter that goes out, unless II be some
formal acknowledgment of service, is read
and signed by the judge.
In his political workshop the candidate
little resembles the dgnified man so
much photographed. Frequently ne
wears a bobbed-off sack coat with elbows
shiny and thin, and ne does not always
change to his frock when visitors are
announced.

The high hill mentioned was a very
important position to the Russians.
The japanese attacked repeatedly, day
and night, finally occupying the posi-

fering very severe losses. The attempt
to retake the hill being extremely
hazardous, General Steessel refused to
issue the order, but called for volun-
