 CONGREGAT TIONALISTS

 Go to Church

Des Moines, la, October 1.-The dis cussion of the needs and prospects of g genuine and widespread revival of relig- ion, was the feature of todays session of the National Congregational council The subject was discussed by four speak CTS who agreed that the signs of an ex- isting revival are present, and that g better state of things is coming In the re- ligious world. The Rev. H. N. Proctor eolored, said that there was a revival of religion in Atlanta, Ga., which was shak- ing the city from center to circumference but, he said, "if I were to walk into one of the services, 1t would distract and de- stroy the revival"
 Proctor was received with especial en- thusiasm, and he electrified the council with his keen thrusts on race questions and lynching.
 The Rev. Amory H. Bradford, D. D., of Mon Clair, N. J., offered a report which stated that congregationalism had been and would be in perpetual hos tility to polygamy. The report was adopted.

BRYAN DRAWS BIG CROWDS

Parkersburg, w. Va, October 14.--Four days of continuous speech-making is be- ginning to tell on the vocal powers of Henry G. Davis, democratic vlee-presi- dental candidate. Aside from hoarseness, however, MT. Davis seems as fit as when he began his continuous performance tour of his own state.
 T am sure that If Alton B. Parker shall be elected President he will en- deayor to have the department of com merce and labor divided, and see to 1t that a practical labor man, a genuine and intelligent representative of labor inter- ests will have the place devoted to labor interests, as has been originally intended. and man devoted to the interests of commerce at the head of the commerce department"
 This was David B. Hlll's contribution to the campaign today To 1t he added:
 Our candidate for President, while al- ways impartially enforcing the laws, has always been friendly to the interests of those who work

Busy at Port Arthur.

St. Petersburg, October 15--7:45 a. m.-A special dispatch from Che Foo reports that the commander of the Russian boat Giliak, in the harbor of Port Arthur, has been killed, and that many sailors have been wounded. Possibly this refers to the reported wrecking of a Russian war shin by Iapanese land batteries.

Covered With ProIectiIes.

10 o'clock, and at noon the general com manding ordered a retirement from the position going to Shilxhe
 Covered With Projectiles.
 We had scarcely left the hill before 1t was coverel with Japanese projectiles. At Shikhe we met General Zelinski, who had come to report. Then an aide galloped up with the news that the Japanese had driven us from the railroad on the west but had not followed up the temporary advantage, stopping to cook their noon- day meal. Late at night we caught them at a disadvantage, and the Morshensk success of the morning.
 Of the turing of our column on the left nothing more has been heard. Our right has recovered itself. We have kept within touch of our turning column, so that, stragetically, we have decided ad- vantage.
 The Japanese today landed an unex- pected blow on our right flank and took two batteries, but we regained them. The whole of todays work was of a waiting character, we depending upon holding positions captured from the Jap anese two days ago.
 It is impossible at present to judge of the situation; to do this we will probably have to wait some days. All are wet to the skin It is now 10 o'clock in the morning and a severe thunder storm is still in progress.

Eyewitness Describes Battle.

Souzatoum, Four Miles South of Muk- den. October 12-Delayed)-For over two days the battle has ragged ceaseless- ly. It was close to midnight of October 10 when the Japanese attempted to sur prise attack our frontal positions in the impenetrable darkness and hurled the full force of their battalions against our intrenchments. The darkness was split by the blaze of their rifles, and the an- swering yolleys of our own men. We lay close hugging the intrenchments, with but few minutes of respite for hours.
 We watched the daylight break in bands of red and yellow. The clouds seemingly tinged with streaks of blood, hung over the silent valley which might have been empty, for all the signs of life it gave, while from the plain be- low us rose dark and silent hills, like the siIhouettes of toInbstones through the half light. The fog thickened, covering low-lying places.
 Covered With Shrarnel.
 Day had hardly lighted the slope of the two-horned mountain when our batteries began to cover it with shrapnel Puffs of white smoke marked the landing of each shell. With the naked eye we could see the Japanese being shelled out of their trenches. First one and then groups of tree and four black figures sprang into view, squatting down, running for cover, but the shells followed them, tear ing up their shelter. Japanese fell like wheat thrown by the hand of the sower. On the mountain beside the Buddhist temple our battery was also working. The Japanese flew so quickly that the gunners could hardly follow them. Soon Japanese ferocity showed itself. They fired the big native village on the side of the mountain, believing the wind from the east would carry the smoke toward us making a screen for them and con- fusing the aim of our gunners.
 From O oclock in the morning the fight ragged. Along the whole line the funeral din of the rifle fire continued as on the previous day, but up to noon the Japan ese batteries gave no sign of life. It de- veloped that they were waiting to find out our positions before opening fire.
 Far to the westward the Japanese are trying to work round our flank, but there were safe and sufficient forces to meet them Two simultaneous turning move ments are proceeding, theirs and ours.
 Heavy Losses During Night.
 Reports of heavy losses during the night attack are coming. The Tomsk regiment suffered terribly Of the brilliant Tam boff regiment, few remained. The troops fought like heroes throughout the hour of darkness, and the morning found the most of them dead on the ground they had bravely defended. In the big village before us, the remnants of several regi- ments after repelling attacks throughout the night. esconced themselves in the shelter of walls of houses prepared for a fresh days work. The Japanese attack on Temple Mountain, held by the Volinski regiment began at S:45 o'clock in the morning. but our batteries on each side kept them in view and repelled the at- tack. The attack was again renewed at

Condition In Colorado.

The condition in Colorado was described as a reign of terror with the militia run ming the state government. The adju- tant-general, MT.

Hill pre- dicted that milltarism would pervade the United States.
