advance posts Is reported from the
front
on Tuesday some Russian scouts
ran into a squadron of Japanese, con-
sisting of four companies at Hunllpou,
and were forced back until reinforced
by cavalry who fianked the Japanese,
driving them back on Tadous opou
with considerable loss. The me
evening the Russians approa to
within three miles OF the coal mines,
repulsing four squadrons and three
companies OF Japanese. There the
Russians withdrew with the loss Of
one Cossack killed and one wounded.
Two japanese dragons were cap
tured.
The activity along the outposts Is
considered to confirm the general be-
lief that the bulk of Gen. Kuropatkins
army Is at Tie pass. A special dis
patch from Mukden says preparations
for winter quarters are being made,
adding that mi-subterranean huts
are being constructed. These are de-
scribed as being warm and comfort

FOUND THEM TURBULENT
IN CHICAGO STOCK YARDS.

Chicago. Oct. 6.-Senator Benjamin
r. Tillman of South Carolina delivered
political address tonight in the stock
yards district. A strong element OF
the Socialist party was in the audience.
and from the commencement Of the
Senator's address until its close he was
made the target for numerous ques-
lions. and the excitement at times ran
high.
At one time. when the meeting had
grown somewhat turbulent, the Sena-
tor remarked: you gentlemen may
get wild, but you win find that no.
body here can be wilder than l can"
Senator Tillman said in the course
OF his remarks:
Il stand here to indict the Repub-
iican party. because 1t is no longer the
party Of Lincoln. II no longer stands
for human liberty: It no longer stands
against human slavery. It holds to
the same position to-day that the old
Southern hierarchy of Southern slave
holders held In 1860 The leaders OF
that party to-day are subservient 70
the orders of one man. and they are
controlled by the man in the White
House."
The Senator declared that, in his
opinion. the race question is the great
issue in the present campaign.

mississippi Congressman Has some
thing to Say of Roosevelt.
Louisville. Ky. Oct. 6.--Congressnan
John Sharp Williams opened the
campaign at Louisville for
the Democrats tonight. Mr..
Williams speech was largely
pitched in a key of intense sarcasm.
The speaker took some time to answer
the charge that the Democratic party
is not party of constructive states
men.
"They say we are the party of re-
PROGRESSION and criticism" said Mr.
Williams. ITO answer this 1t is only
necessary to refer them to the ad-
illustrations Of Jefferson and Jackson,
the founders and upholders of the
principles we revere Both of these
Presidents were prominently of the
constructive school-indeed, il either
had a fault. il was that they might
attempt too mulch. Compare their
record with that of this man in the
White House, this pseudo American
statesman, and the Republicans whose
leader he is. The attitude of the Re
publican administration is that of your
true obstructionist. They borrow as
their slogan a phrase from the gam
hlers table, stand pat
Indeed, If you would find a key to
the makeup of Theodore Roosevelt, so
read his writings. which are an unin-
terrupted stream OF criticism. He has
attacked almost every President who
preceded him, He has even attacked
the South and the courage of the
Southerner, although this might poss-
bly, have been done with the object of
making the Northerner forget that his
mother was a Southerner."
Before closing. Mr.. Williams took oc-
casion to refer to the size of the vote
by which he was elected to Congress
the total OF which was slightly in ex-
cess of 1.400. having been a target for
ridicule by Republicans favoring reduc-
ton of the representation in Southern
states. Mr. Williams declared that the
vote did not reflect the strength of his
district, because he had no opposition,
and there was a great number OF
stay -homes,"
Il did not vote for myself and my
own brother forgot to vote for me on
this account" said the speaker.

Powers BE Granted Authority to Enforce Peace

Boston, Oct. 6.-The arrest and sub.
sequent reduction of military and naval
ornaments throughout the world was
called for to-day at the session Of the
international Peace Congress- when
resolutions were adopted expressing the
opinion that the first task which the
worlds new convention suggested by

was the gradual disarmament Of the
powers.
The thanks of the congress were
extended to President Roosevelt for
his pledge to take the first steps to-
wards a convocation of a new inter-
national peace conClaVe.
The most pronounced forensic and
oratorical moment which the con-
gress yet has seen came when a Bos-
ton delegate Charles F.. Dole, pro-
posed to amend the disarmament reso-
luton by declaration that no neces-
sltY existed for the United States to
view with suspicion the powers of Eu-
rope and that, therefore. 1t was quite
unnecessary for America, with the pur-
I9ose of enforcing the Monroe doc

and that the long current rumors Of
friction between the two nations are
simply canards conceived by unprin-
cipled agltators.
Baron Won Sternberg told OF the
pride he felt IN being present as the
representative OF the Kaiser at this
celebration, and read the cablegram
received from the Kaiser. which was
as follows:
II convey my imperial greetings and
congratulations TO those dauntless citi-
zens OF America whose wish IL has
been that the Worlds Fair at ST.
Louis should not pass by without the
celebration OF a German Day.
May this glorious day be celebrated
IN unmarried rejoicings and stand az
a worthy testimonial OF the important
part played by the German immigra-
ton IN the wonderful development OF
the great transatlantic republic.

struck by the Engine-Besides the
Man and Woman of the Party Who
Were Killed, Seven Others Were
InJured-One of the Injured May
Die.
New York. Oct. 7.-While speeding
along in the Bronx early this morning,
an automobile containing nine persons
went off an embankment at One Hun
bred and Sixty-frst street and Jerome
avenue, and two persons are known to
have been killed.
The machine fell onto the New York

men were killed. The automobile was
in charge of Albert Moves.
At Jerome avenue and One Hundred
and Sixty-frst street the roadway is
between twenty and thirty feet above
the railroad tracks. When the big
machine plunged downward it struck
near the southbound tracks, and the
nine persons and the automobile were
caught by an incoming train known as
the Crotan local.
Beside the two killed, all the others
in the automobile were injured. They
were taken to Fordham Hospital, where
it was reported at 1870 o'clock this
morning that at least one of those
hurt was in a serious condition.

Grand Central station shortly before
2 o'clock this morning, Engineer Liv-
ingston was placed under arrest.
One of the passengers on the train
said the train was running at the rate
of about thirty-five miles an hour when

roadway takes sharp turn and the
automobile did not slacken for this
curve and struck the fence with a
terrific crash. Engineer Livingston
threw on brakes as soon as possible,
but not before the wreckage of the
ear had been carried some distance.
