There has been renewed activity in
Japan along many lines, and the to-

of 1904 amounted to $3.50, 410,086.44, a
gain of $14,01O,229.52, or 9h per cent.
over that of the corresponding period
in 1908. While it is true that the iru-
portation of war material has con-
tributed considerably to this result,
and to that extent the showing does
not represent a natural permanent
growth of the commerce Of the coun-
try, still there was marked increase

WATSON'S LETTER.
SYNOPSIS Of Document Accepting PEG
pies Party Nomination for
President.

Birmingham, Ala, Oct 10.-Thomas
E. Watson's letter formally accepting
the populist nomination for president.
has been made public. The letter, which
is addressed to Samuel w. Williams,
chairman of the committee on notif1ca-
ton, is about 1850 words long. 1t de-
clares the gold standard "unscientifc
and wrong" asserts that those who pro-
duce wealth in the United States are
robbed of the fruits of their labor, and
charges combined capital with a plot
to crush out individual liberty by down.
ing the labor unions.
The only hope for the middle and
lower classes" as Mr.. Watson terms
them, he sees is the rise and growth to
success of third party, not subject to
corporation domination. Constructive1y,
he proposes a national board of arbitra-
ton to pass upon disputes between CAPT.
tai and labor, the adoption Of the initia-
tive and referendum for the making of
federal laws and the ownership of pub
lie utilities.
The question of class legislation is
discussed, the national banking and
transportation systems being held up
as shining examples in this respect. The
inevitable outgrowth of these systems,
he declares, is the building up of colossal
fortunes at the expense of the people.
Judge Parker's candidacy is excoriated
in Mr.. Watson's letter of acceptance as
deceitful and disingenuous-an attempt
at compromise between the interests of
the trusts, Of which he is virtually
charged with being the tool, and the peo-
pie. From Roosevelt Mr.. Watson thinks
that there is less to fear, his attitude
having been boldly taken, his convictions
plainly declared, his willingness to fight
openly expressed. The managers of the
democratic campaign are arraigned in
the most scatching terms: The party is
declared to be in deadly fear of offending
the financial interests upon which, it is
asserted, it depends for victory.

RUSSIAN ARMY TO
BEGIN Advance
DECIDES TO TAKE
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES AN AD-
DRESS TO HIS SOLDIERS.
Attacks and Breaks Japanese Line,
Turning Enemy's Right Flank and
Driving Him from the Town Of
Bentsiaputse.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 1O.-Gen. Kuro-
patkin has decided to take the offensive.
In stirring address to his army, he an
nounces that the time has come for for
ward movement, asserts that the RUS
SLAMS have q force numerically superior
to that of the Japanese, and predicts q
telling victory for Russian arms. Stimuli
taneously with Gen. Kuropatkin's an
nouncement comes news that the Rus
SLAMS have captured -Bentsiaputze, one
of the strategical points held by the Jap
anese. The event did not precipitate a
severe engagement, though the Japanese
are reported to have suffered consid-
cradle loss, the turning of their position
having exposed them to severe fire.
The retirement of the Japanese on their
position at Liaoyang is construed rs
evidencing the desire of Field Marshal
Oyama to draw the Russians into an at
tack upon strong defensive position.
Jap Right Flank Turned.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 10.-Gen. Kuro-
patkin's order of the day announcing
his determination to take the offensive
is supplemented by the news that an
offensive movement has already been
begun and that the Japanese line has
been broken at Bentsiaputze. The jap
anese occupied a front of about 50
miles, stretching from Bentsiaputze ON
the east through Yentai and across the
railway to the banks of the Hun river
ON the west. The Russian force had
been moving south in close touch with
the Japanese advance since October 4.
The Japanese outposts we're driven back
in series of skirmishes, and on OctO-
Der the Russians reoccupied the sta
ton of Shakhe, Is miles south of Muk-
den.
The most important action, however,
occurred on the Japanese right at
Bentsiaputze. Here the Japanese held
a strong and important position, but it
seems they made the inexplicable
omission to fortify commanding hill
which was the key to the whole situa-
ton. A portion Of Gen. Kuropatkin's
force made strong attack on Bentsia-
putze and, taking leaf out of the
japanese book, occupied the hill from
the east and flanked the Japanese out
of the town, causing serious loss in
q rear guard fight. The Russian casual
ties are reported to have been incon-
siderable
