DENVER, Oct. 24.-W. Burke Cock.
ran, of New York, addressed an audi
ence that taxed the capacity of Coli.
scum hall here tonight. He declared
that in Colorado republican institu.
tions had perished and that those of
the nation we're imperiled. Mr.. Cock
ran also discussed protection and
trusts. H. said the republicans
claimed all the credit for the prosper
ity Of the country. If this claim were
we'll founded, he said. he should be
willing to continue them in power.
But the people were not enjoying a
remnant OF the prosperity they were
entitled to because they were being
plundered and robbed by vicious
tariff system which enriched few and
impoverished the masses. He denied
that wages were kept at high stand
ard through protection. The contrary
was true, for the reason hat produc-
tion was limited Twenty five per
cent of the wages of labor, he declared
went as a tribute to protection.
Trusts were the outcome of the tariff
of 1890, he said The purpose Of
trusts was to enable a few to secure
all the profits of industry.

HEAVY LOSSES IN BATTLE.
The Killed and Wounded Reach Enor
nous Total of Eighty Thousand.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 22.-The war
office is not in a position as yet to
give figures of the casualties in the
long battle below Mukden, but every
thing indicates that the Russian losses
reached 10000, the figure given by the
Associated Press correspondent at
Mukden. Another ercorrespondentp placed
the losses on both sides at $4,000.
The war Office is convinced that the
Japanese losses, while below those OF
the Russians, were almost as heavy.
While no pitched battle has occurred
during the last few days, the two
armies are kept in touch with one an.
other, holding the positions they oc.
cupied when the big battle ended.
There is no evidence that the Russian
army will rush north, as was the case
after the battle of Liao Yang. In
fact, the Russians have another line
of defenses to fall back on in the even,
that they are forced out of their pres
ent positions. During the last few
days there has been frequent artillery
fire, occasional attacks, and daily
clashes between outposts and scouts
Unless the japanese take the initia
tive soon the Russians, it is expected
will resume the offensive and endeavol
to drive the Japanese back to insure
the safety of their winter quarters.

BOTH ARMIES RESTING.
japanese Reported To Be Receiving Sup
plies For Another Battle.

ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 24.-There is
no news of Immediate Importance from
the far east tnni4h;. The indications
are that both sides are heavily en-
trenching, although 1t is believed Cen
eral kuropatkin wij be ready for
forward movement at an early moment
unless heavy japanese reinforcements
compel him to resume the defensive.
Reports that japanese reinforce
ments are arriving, taken in cOnnec.
tion with the enforced inactivity of
the Russian forces on account of the
weather, is felt to be d grave factor in
the situation. There is reason to be-
lieve that the japanese are drawing
heavily on the Port Arthur army as
we'll as on Japan in hopes Of securing
numerical superiority that will en-
able Field Marshal Oyama to inflict a
crushing blow on General Kuropatkin
when hostilitie9 are resumed.
The res spective armies retain some

THE LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES.

In the matter Of representation in the
state legislature, Chouteau county has
for several years past maintained a
record Of electing repu ublicans TO assist
in framing laws for the people of Mon.
tana. In the days of democratic aud
popullstic ascendancy, when the re-
publican membership was less than a
dozen, Chouteau county was one of
the few counties in Montana represent
ed by republicans.
The election of republican members
Of the legislature from Chouteau
county has been due to the care exer-
cised in the selection of candidates for
this position of honor and responsi.
bility, and the nominations made this
year were suggested by the recognized
fitness and ability of the well-known
republican citizens who are the lepis-
lative candidates of the party. Hon.
T. Nj. Everett, of Harlem. and @. p.
Brigham, Of Havre, were chosen as
representative republican citizens of
ChOuteau county, who will make a
good working team in the legislature

northern Montana are under consid-

COUNTY AUDITOR.
The new Office of county auditor is
due to the increase in the assessment

Ffehting on the Yalu

London, April 22.-Rumors of Sc
we're fighting on the Yalu are repeated
in various forms and from various
points. For instance, the Shanghai
correspondent OF the Morning Post
says he hears that the first japanese
army has crossed the Yalu almost
without opposition, and the Daily
Chronicles correspondent at Seoul
says that heavy fighting has occurred,
but that for strategic a it is inn
possible to send particulars. No au-
thentic news, however, has reached
London showing that anything has
happened beyond skirmishing. Ac-
cording to the Daily Telegraph's st.

sian s~trategists are reluctantly arriv-
ing at the conviction hat General
Kuroki Is engaged in the adventurous
plan of advancing along the middle
reaches of the Yalu river via kang

in moving his army over the mountain
paths, his purpose being to outf1ank
the Russian position on the right bank
of the YaJu.
