Sc THOUSAND CASUALTIES IN
N PORT ARTHUR ASSAULT.
ENGAGEMENT BEGAN ON SEPT. 10
FORCE ENEMY TO RE.
A TIRE FROM sEvERAL.F FORTS
AFTER SEVERE FIGHT.

Chefoo, Sept. 29.-Russians residing
here claim to have received informa-
tion that the Japanese losses in the
last assault on Port Arthur, which be-
gan Sept. 19, were 1000. A Chinese
who left the fortress on Sept. 26 says
that the Russian losses were between
500 and 600.
= This Chinaman says that the Japan
ese we're unable to remain in the three
supplementary forts which they cap
tured and that they retired at o'clock
on the afternoon of Sept. 26, after en-
during several days of tremendous FIR
ing from the inner forts.
4 He adds that the Russians attempted
to bury the dead of both sides at night,
ously menace the health of the garri-
son. The Russians allege that it is
the deliberate policy of the Japanese
to undermine the health of the Russian
troops by means OF the OdOrs from the
decompOsing bodies and that for this
reason they fire on the burial parties.
Fire on Burial Parties.
& One Chinese, who was a member of
q burial party, says that the Japanese
fired when he and another Chinese
attempted to bury the dead. He adds
that when the wind carries the odors
toward the Japanese the latter retire.
Chinese say that most severe at
tacks were made on the supplementary
forts of the Itz and Anshu mountain
forts. The Russians had undermined
the ground and several hundred JAP
anese we're blown up on Sept. %. Re-
ports received from the Miaotao ISL
ands mention terrific report which
shook the houses there on that date.
The Russian ships, it is reported,
took no part in the battle. From thirty
to fifty shells fell daily in the Chinese
new town. One shell tore the rudder
from a torpedo boat destroyer.
The Russians are now building a
new fort on Liaoti promontory bear
ing on the island side. It's construc-
tion indicates that five large guns will
form the nucleus of the battery.

Judicial Convention

The judicial convention Of the
Eighth district was held in the opera
house at Minot on the evening of the
Oath inst. Maj. Mckee of Kenmare,
was made chairman and j. H. Fahev.
secretary. The name of l.. J. Palda.
jr. was presented by D. G. Greenleaf
and the nomination was ably seconded
by s. B. Mahaney, j. G. Marcy and
4. H. Copeland. The nomination
was unanimous. The following jud-
icial committee was appointed: Ward :;
d. G. Greenleaf, j. G. Marcy; Will.
liams, R. H. Copeland. John Brueg-
ger; McHenry, O'Connell and Holmes :;
.Bottineau, Frank Collins and S. B.
Mahaney.
The following resolutions were read
and adopted:
Whereas. the democratic party, of
the state of North Dakota, has in its
three last platforms adopted resolutions
favoring nonpartisan judiciary and
the endorsement of the republican
candidates for Judge of the Supreme
Court of this state,
And whereas, the democrats of the
Second judicial district, which until
recently included the Eighth judicial
district of this state, for many years
supported the Hon. D. E. Morgan, the
regular republican nominee for Judge
of this district, and is in the present
campaign supporting the Hon. John
F. Cowan, the regular candidate for
Judge of the Second judicial district,
And whereas, the Judiciary should
be raised to higher plane than that
of partisan politics, and judges should
be elected for their honesty and ability
and not on account of their political
affiliations,
And whereas, had the republican
judicial convention of this district
placed in nomination L. J. Palda, jr. g,
for Judge. it would have been the
sentiment and desile of this convention
to endorse him and name no candidate
for the judgeship of the Eighth iud
icial district,
And whereas, it is apparent that the
Hon. L. j. Palda, Jr., a republica n,
was for political reasons defeated in the
recent republican judicial convent on
in this district, and recognizin as we
do the fearless honesty, fairness and
impartial and non-partisan servi ces
| Of the Hon. L. j. Pa1da, Jr., as Judge
of this district. together with his
legal acumen and eminent fitness for
the Judiciary.
Therefore be it resolved, that we.
the democrats of the Eighth judicial
district in convention assembled, do
hereby declare in favor of non-par
tisan Judiciary, and we do recommend
to this convention. the Hon. L. J.
Palda. Jr., as the candidate of this
convention, and if nominated we
! invite all electors who believe in a
non partisan Judiciary, and that jud-
ges should be elected for their honesty
and ability and not on account of their
politics, to assist us in the coming
election.

ANOTHER DOMESTIC LOAN.
Japanese Government Will Issue $4O,.

100000 at Five Per Cent.
Toxic, Sept. 29.-The government
has decided to float another domestic
loan of $40,O0O,00O on conditions sini-
lar to the last. The issue price will
be 80 and the interest 5 per cent.
Business conditions indicate a heavy
subscription. The minister of finance
will meet the bankers of Toxic Thurs
Gay and of Osaka and Nagoya on Sat
urday to discuss the loan.
It Is probable that the conscription
law will be amended, increasing the
service in the reserve five years and
making the regular reserve service to-
tai seventeen years and five months.
This means a large increase in the
strength of the army.

newspaper who supports and advocates
the election of a crooked person to a
public office. while knowing him to
be crooked, is guilty of crime.
While, because of the dishonest
practice of some persons who practice
law, the lawyer is considered by many
to be naturally corrupt, yet there is
no more honorable profession in ex-
istence today than that of an attorney
at law.
The highest sense of honor governs
and controls every act of true at
torney at law. Honor and fidelity to
principle is the very foundation of
his profession. His ability may be
ever so great. yet it is because of his
honor that the client reposes con-
fidence in him and that honor is the
only safeguard the client has.
\ y
In the turmoil of commercial and
social life, many differences arise
that require adjustment and settlement
in the courts; that such settlements
may be just and equitable, it is to the
interest of everyone that those aspir.
ing to fill places on our judicial
benches shall bs purely upright, honest
and honorable. men; men whose con-
duct and dealings with their fellow
men have always been fair and hon
orable and above reproach.
~
When a man who owns a farm re-
quires the use Of some money and to
obtain which, makes loan through
an agent and mortgages his farm as
security therefor, he does SO because
he needs the money, and when such
agent secures the amount for which
the mortgage was given. and then, not
only refuses to pay over the same to
such lnortgagor, but attempts to,cheat
the said mortgagor out of said money
entirely, such agent has committed a
crime; is unworthy of the confidence
of his fellowmen and deserves punish
ment by law. And when an attorney
at law, as such agent, commits such
crime, he should be debarred from
practice of the profession he has so
dishonored and given punishment to
the full extent of the law.
We want honest men on the judicial
benches Dishonest lawyers cannot
make honest judges.

MANY SMALL SKIRMISHES
GENERAL kUROPATkIN REPORTS
CLASHES ALONG THE WHOLE
RUSSIAN FRONT.

st. Petersburg, Sept. pa dispatch
received from General Kuropatkin an
nounces that numerous skirmishes
have occurred along most parts of the
Russian front. Inc Japanese have
not altered their positions east of the
railroad and cOntne themselves to out
post attacks to the north, all OF which
SO tar have been repulsed.
Reconnaissance by the Russian
troops have established the fact that
the main Japanese forces are still
along the branch railroad to the YEN
tai mines. Both sides are in constant
contact. General Samsonoff's troops
particularly have had frequent en-
counters, but have sustained very few
casualties. The Russians have cap
tured some Japanese cattle and horses.
The Japanese have constructed pom
toon bridges over the Taitse river at
Bensihu. The general adds:
ION the night of Sept. 26 Cornet
Mikheiff, with detachment of Ural
Cossacks, attacked the Japanese biv-
oucked at Khouandi, causing a great
panic. The same day the Orenburg
Cossacks laid an ambush for half a
squadron of Japanese cavalry, who re-
turned their fire, but soon retired,
having sustained considerable loss
and leaving several dead on the field"
DELAY IN GENERAL ADVANCE.
Marshal Oyama's Plans Evidently Not
Yet Perfected.
st. Petersburg, Sept 29.-The latest
official advices from the front are 81
lent on the subject Of the Japanese
tianking movements east and west Of
Mukden, from which the war Office con-
cludes that Field Marshal Oyama has
not yet begun to press his advance
from sianchan or up the Lao River
valley, indicating that there is still
further delay in the general advance.
The Associated Press is now author
lied to definitely deny the statement
that the Japanese in any force have
crossed the Hun river about fifty miles
from Mukden. There is no evidence
that the Japanese turning movement
Is nearly so extended. The only jap
aneseSat this point are the scouts re-
ported in these dispatches Sept. 26.
According to information brought in
by Russian scouts the main Japanese
forces are still concentrated along the
Yentai branch railroad and reinforce
ments are still crossing the ~Taitse
river, using two pontoons at Bensihu,
five miles due east of Yentai station.
From the latter fact it would appear
that the preparations for the Japanese
advance are more backward than here
tOfore supposed.
The information received at the war
Office concerning the situation at Port
Arthur is not reassuring. The block
ade at last seems to be effective. Ad-
miral Togo's ships are arresting all
the junks which try to enter the har-
Dor and are sending them to Port
Dalny. 1t is feared that this complete
isolation may react on the spirits of
the garrison.

RUsso-JAPANEsE WAR.

The London Daily Telegraph's cor
respondent before Port Arthur, tele-
graphs that all of the Russian battle
ships and cruisers, together with the
gunboats Giliak and F'usadneck, were
sunk or destroyed, and that only the
torpedo boat destroyers remain intact.
A Japanese force sent to turn Rennen-
kampff's flank was led into an ambush
and repulsed with a loss of /, 800 dead.
An armistice Of six hours was de-
cIared at Port Arthur in order that the
dead and wounded might be cared for.
The capture of 203-metre hill and as
sault on Ehrlung and Keekwan forts
are said to have cost the japanese
$4,000 men.
Russia belittles the japanese reports
of Port Arthur's straits, saying that the
taking of 203-Metre hill was proftIess.
The czar has signed a decree ordering
a third squadron of warships to sail for
the far east within two months.
