WE'RE WAITING FOR ASSAULT.
A Russian Story of Alleged Japanese
Repulse.

MUKDEN, October 2o.-The japanese are
fond of night attacks, which they organize
cleverly. They light series of enormous
camp fires at false bivouacs and then
stealthily creep up on the Russian sent-
nels. who, peering into the darkness and
blinded by the glare, cannot see the Jaba-
nese approaching. Or they take adVan-
tage of a rainstorm and Try to surprise the
Russians On Tuesday night they adopted
both ruses. but ran into hornets nest.
The night was inky black. rain was falling
and cold wind was blowing.
"A fine night for the Japanese every
one said, and the Russians huddled in the
trenches had strict orders given to them
that if the expected but uninvited guests
appeared not to fire, but to meet them with
the bayonet 1t was so dark that a person
could not see his hand before his face ex-
cept vaguely Through the rain, in the di-
rection of the false camp fires, all eyes
were strained and ears listening lntently
The wind, which was as cold as ice and
cut to the bones. was suddenly freighted
with ominous sounds, an unmistakable
squash in the mire and squirting of water
under the tramp of hurrying feet, accom-
panied by the metallic rattle of arms. The
Russians stopped lower.
The officers passed along another cau-
tion-under no circumstances to fire, but to
meet the Japanese with the bayonet.
On they came. ne RUSSIANS couiu al
ready see the silhouettes of the japanese
and watched the approach of their victims
with grim satisfaction, their only anxiety
being lest some nervous soldier might fire
and thus spoil the game. The japanese
came on. straining their eyes in the dark
ness evidently believing that the Russians
were not so close. When they were right
under their feet, the Russians rose up as II
out of the ground, and, with a hurrah,
wildly fell upon them with the bayonet.
The front ranks of the japanese broke,
turned and smashed into the second line,
throwing the whole force into disorder.
Like a rabble they tried to escape. but the
Russians gave them no mercy, bayoneting
them they pursued. For mile the
work of slaughter proceeded and few of
the Japanese lived to carry back the tale.
In the morning the ground was strewn
with corpseS.

a very much battered and bruised front,

of the company made an investigation of
the accident Immediately, and according to
Secretary Lackeys report of the investiga-
ton, the accident was caused by the fault
of the motorman in not applying the brakes.
Mr.. Lackey stated to a Star reporter that
the brakes were in frst-class condition

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, October 90 - A dispatch
from Stockholm says:
Recent movements of Russian forces on the
Swedish border have caused great uneasi-
ness in official circles. 1t is feared that
in order to permit her withdrawal from
the far eastern war Russia is planning TO
create dispute with Norway and Sweden
and then to seize an Atlantic port. Gen.
Horange, the former commander of Swed-
ish forces. is reported to be making a Sc

Reports of Japanese Reverses.

LONDON. October 20.-Specal dispatches
from St. Petersburg make mention of a
crushing defeat of two Japanese divisions.
There is no confirmation. however, in any
reliable quarter of such a report.
According to the Standards correspond
ent, with Gen Kuroki. who telegraphs un-
der date Of October Is, Russian battal-
ion, which crossed the Taitse river, has
been almost annihlated. While retiring
over a pontoon bridge the correspondent
says the battalion was overtaken by a
regiment of Japanese cavalry. which got
its machine gun into position and swept
the bridge from end to end.
English newspapers and military critics
find il difficult to apportion the exact strate-
gic significance attaching to Gen. Kuropat-
kins action on the Shakhe river 1t is
supposed that his success here was due
to having kept three divisions of troops in
reserve and II is admitted that the attack
on Lone Tree Hill may have been an in
territorial counterstroke after drawing out
the Japanese from strong positions. The
balance of opinion. however, favors the
idea that IL was desperate endeavor to
cover the retreat of his forces from the
Bensihu district, and that the battle of
Shakhe may be considered to have ended
In a victory, but not a decisive one, for the
Japanese. who were too exhausted to follow
up their success.

Odell Must Support Depew.


political circles that unless Gov. Odell puts
in black and white his promise that Depew
shall not be disturbed the state ticket will
lack the support of very influential and val
liable republican backing. The statement
went further than that. by implication at
least. The inference plainly limited was
that if Odell is permitted by the national
managers to oust Depew the national as
well as the state ticket will find luke
warm support in quarters where 1t might
reasonably expect strong backing.
Chairman Cortelyou is not here. These
developments occurred after he left for the
west l am not advised whether President
Roosevelt has been informed of this situa-
ton not, but presumably he has been.
1t is difficult to tell what will be the out
come. One thing is certain, If this situa-
ton is left to drift along to its own con-
clusion-the state ticket is surely doomed,
as 1t is now threa tened to be doomed. The
republican state ticket is making slow but
gradual progress against a strong ebb tide
and heavy head wind. If it is impeded
by the complication now threatened 1t
won't reach port Even the Presidents per-
sonal prestige cannot counteract such
influences.
Odell Feels Confident
Governor Odell. however, laughs to scorn
all such suggestions. He believes firmly
that he will carry the state for Higgins.
1t is true 1t is life death for Odell, and
he knows what he is doing and do
to win, but some of his more cautious lieu
tenants are advising him to be more pacifi-
catory. He is trying to be, as l said. by
promises. l am told today that Senator
Platt in his feeble state is still willing to
trust him. But Senator Platts more active
and alert friends are not willing, and are
demanding a hard and fast bond.
All this is known to the democrats and is
affording them great cheer and encourage
ment. Their hopes are keeping high. With
their own ranks united, with a clean ticket
in the field, with the odium of Odellism
working through the state like a leaven.
and with this additional promise of schism
in the republican ranks they are in high
glee.
1 spent yesterday In the financial district
trying to ascertain the connection between
politics and the state of business, as every
body knows there has been strong mar
ket for a week or more. And such a condi-
ton prevailing on the eve of~a presidential
election is bound to attract attention and
elicit comment.
Big Operators Sold Out.
The bull market that has prevailed is the
result of buying orders from the country
outside of New York. 1t is an open secret
on Wall street that the big operators here
have sold out the bulk of their holdings.

in New York Campaign.
WANT A ENATORSHIP
HARTMAN VS.. VANDERBILT
MORGAN INTERESTS.
Gov. Odell Urged to Support Depew for
-Election-Politics and State
of Business.
WANT A SEN AT0RSHIP
special From n Staff CORRESPONDENT.

| Special From Staff Correspondent.
| NEW YORK, October 20.-The big trunk
| line railways are taking hand in the state
| campaign. The Hartman interests ana the
| Vanderbit-Morgan interests are at logger
| heads already, and if Gov. Odell persists IN
| his fight in behalf of Hartman and ignores
| the others the situation will become very
much involved. An important issue, which
already is coming to the front, is the United
States senatorship, and in this the railroads
are also taking sides.
Gov Odell for two years has been a pro-
nounced partisan of Mr.. Edward II. Harri-
man and of his railroad scheme. l remem-
ber the republican state convention of two
years ago at Saratoga in that memorable
all-night conference over the nomination
for lieutenant governor, when Gov. Odell
said to Mr.. Sheldon, then the most promi-
nent candidate for the nomination, You
are too much of a Morgan man." where
upon Mr.. Sheldon replied, Il am not half as
much a Morgan man as you are a Harri-
man man.
During the past two years Gov. Odell has
done all in his power to help Mr.. Hartman
| Everybody knows, of course, that Hartman
is seeking an entrance into New York for
his railroad system Mr. Morgan and the
cess, and up to this time Mr.. Hartman has
been unable to secure the needed legislation
to enable him to break into New York over
a new route.
Depew's Successor.
The fight between railroad kings has now
entered into the senatorship situation. The
legislature to be chosen in the next election
will name Senator Depew's successor. Gov.
Odell has promised the senatorShip to eX-
Gov Frank Black. That promise was made
at Saratoga at the time of the last conven-
ton Senator Platt's friends desire that the
aged and deposed leadeE should be gratlhed
in his wish to have Senator Depew retain
his seat He has made a good senator, they
say and they see no reason why he should
be ousted. Gov. Odell has his preferences
in the matter, however He is not inclined
to crafty any wish of Senator Platt where
such wish would cross his own will, and IN
this case it does cross it very distinctly
Senator Depew's associations are with the
Vanderbilt and Morgan interests rather
than any others. He has nothing in COM
mon with Gov. Odell, and the governor
knows it. His friends, political and busi-
ness, are not of the governors faction.
Within the past two days earnest eff
forts have been made to induce the gov
ernor to promise that Senator DepeW snail
not be disturbed. The governor has not
promised. He has hung In the wind, back
| ing and filling. When he gets Senator Platt
| alone he assures him that everything will
come out all right"
