~ am not here,' Mr.. Zangwill said,
t'to advocate the establishment of the
colony, but only to stir up interest in
the project. Some colonization scheme
is necessary for the welfare Of the Jews.
England has got all the Jews she wants,
and America is apparently approach
ing the same way of thinking. Repre-
sentative American Jews have said:
Don It send any more Jews to America.
Tt is true the Jews have done well here.
but America has reached the point OF
saturation.'

Keep Russians Guessing as to Source Of
Attacks.

Mukden, Oct: 2o.-The Japanese are
fond of night attacks, which they or
ganize clever1y.. They light a series Of
and then steal upon the Russian
sentinels, who, peering into the dark
ness, and blinded by the glare, cannot
see the Japanese approaching. Or,
they take advantage Of a rain storm
and try to surprise the Russians.
Tuesday night they adopted both
ruses, but ran into a hornets nest. Rain
was falling and cold wind was blow
ing. It was so dark that person could
scarcely see his hand before his face.
The Russians heard arms rattle and
passed along caution under no circum-
stances to fire but to meet the Japan
csc with the bayonet. The Japanese
came on, straining their eyes in the
darkness, evidently believing that the
Russians were not so close When the
Russians were right under the Japs'
feet, the Russians rose up as if out of
the ground and with hurrah wildly
fell upon the advancing foe with the
bayonet. The front ranks of the Jap
anese broke. turned and smashed into
me SECOND line, throwing the, whole

TAFT IS TO STOP
ISTHMIAN FRICTION
Announcement of His Mission
Supports Stories of Crisis in
Canal Affairs.
New York Sun Special Service.


Washington, Oct. 20.-There was
serious friction of the Isthmus Of Pan
anna when the president ordered Secre-
tary Taft to go there as soon as posi-
BILE to straighten things out and restore
harmony.
Matters have reached the point where
strong hand is required to prevent

canal commission. During their short
stay on the isthmus the members of
the commission developed feud among
themselves while they were involving
the administration in trouble with Pan
anna, and the result will be that two
or more of the commissioners will be
asked to resign.
One of the two chief reasons for
sending Secretary Taft to the isthmus,
clothed with plenary powers, is that he
may fully investigate the conduct OF
all Of the commissioners and decide
which one shall be removed. The Sec
ond impelling reason for his trip is to
restore friendly relations with Panama

The matter of putting an end to the
commission and Minister Barrett is a
minor condition, tho equally positive
action will be taken in that connec.
ton, with the result that Mr.. Barrett
will be made supreme in all negOtia
lions with Panama. 1t was not until
Mr.. Barrett submitted his verbal re-
port on isthmian affairs that there was
any suspicion that some of the com
missioners had been violating the pres
ident' 8 orders. At the same time il
was revealed by Mr.. Barrett that the
isthmians are on the verge of an opeI
revolt, with a resort to arms, against
what they regard as the high-handec
and unwarranted actions of the cana
commission in direct violation of the
canal treaty in letter and spirit.
The i'll feeling of the isthmians hac
been minimized in the reports of the
commission and the president was as

mountain. Severe damage has been
done q Japanese torpedoboat destroyer
According to Chinese advices, which
reached here today, and which are
confirmed in essential points by Jap;
anese letters from Port Dalny, the
Japanese made assaults on the re-
naming outer works Of Rih-lung
mountain at dawn, Oct; 8, and were
Russians made an attack on on the
Japanese trenches and they in turn
were, repulsed The Japanese imme-
diately followed with another assault
resulting in the capture Of an iron
railroad bridge and the heights
south of the bridge which is 500
yards from the main fortress.
The Importance Of these captures
lies in the fact that they curtail the
Russian fire in harassing Japanese who
may attempt to advance on the
trenches located on the slope of Rib
lung mountain. This attack has been
a surprise for the Russians, the Japan
ese claiming that they lost only fifty
men. Since the capture Of the points
mentioned the Japanese assert that
they have successfully resisted numer-
GUS attempts to recapture them.
