BUDDHIsr Temple HILL FIGHT.
Two Russian Machine Gum. Smashed
BY Jap FIRE.

AIukden, Oct SO.-The attack by the
Japanese on the Buddhist Temple hill
on October 81 led to sharp fighting. The
japanese artillery played on the posi-
tion. from early in the morning render
ing the trenches untenable. shells and
shrapnel sweeping everything and de-
molishing all the shelters. Two ma
chine guns with the battalion defend
ing the hill was smashed and disabled,
but the defenders carried off the re-
mains Of the guns when they were
forced to retire. The Japanese infan-
try attack under cover of the lombard
ment was made on the close order.
There was desperate hand-to-hand
fighting in the trenches, followed by a
counter attack with the bayonet. The
Japanese finally gained the hill, but
were unable to hold 1t in the face of
the deadly Russian artillery fire.
There have been number Of skir-
mishes along the whole front, but no
development Of any serious import has
yet appeared, though the armies are in
the closest touch and general engage
ment may be precipitated at any time.
AT one point the trenches are only four
hundred yards apart. They are separ-
ated by small stream, which is the
only water supply in the neighborhood.
BY mutual consent there is no firing on
the water carriers, who visit the stream
with buckets.
To-day was unusually quiet along the
n. ~,
habit of harassing the Japanese in the
trenches at night. Last night Russian
scouts threw hand grenade into a
japanese trench near Sinchinpu, caus-
Ing great confusion. The Russian
scouts also discovered that the Japan
ese are moving many batteries to the
front, though as yet all have been care
fully masked.

Tells President There !. Nc Donht Of
His Election.

MS
washington. Oct. -Elihu Root. of
New York, spent the evening with
President Roosevelt at the White
house talking over the political situa-
ton. Mr.. Root told the president that.
in his judgment. there was no doubt Of
his election, that New York state would
give him plurality approximating co.
600 votes, and, If this prediction proved
to be correct, the republican state tick
ct also would be successful A very
material reduction in the presidents
estimated plurality. Mr.. Root said,
might endanger the state ticket. The
former secretary in discussing the cam
paign expressed his qualification that,
so far as the republican national COM
mittee was concerned, it had been con-
Quoted so anicably.
There had not been any diseord, he
said, and it had not left any heartburn
ings. The amount of money expended
by the republican committee did not
aggregate more than half Of that which
had been expended during the McKin-
ley campaign four years ago. Mr.. Root
has some business in the supreme court
tomorrow and also Is to attend a meet
ing Of the executive committee of the
Carnegie Institute.

lSPHY1TATED IN BED.
Torrington Mans Death While Sleep
ing at the Sterling House.


Joseph Fink Of Torrington was as
phyxiated while sleeping in a room at
the Sterling house early yesterday
morning. He came to the hotel shortly
before midnight and registered after
which he was assigned to a room.
Yesterday morning the man occupy
ing the room next to Mr.. Fink smelled
escaping gas and notified the hotel peo-
Pile The door Of the room was broken
open and Mr.. Fink was found dead in
bed with the gas turned on. Medical
Examiner Bartlett was summoned and
he viewed the remains. He said that
death was due to asphyxiation and
that the man had been dead some lit
tie time before he was discovered.
DIR. Baltlett stated last evening that
he thought that as there was no signs
Of suicide that death was accidental.
He thinks that the man either blew
out the gas or else when he turned it
off accidentally turned it on again. Mr..
Fink transacted some business in this
city on Saturday and had some re-
ceipts in his pocket which the medical
examiner stated went to show that the
man was in his usual state of mind at
the time.
MIR. Fink was well known in Torring-
ton and lived there with some brothers
who were notified Of the death and
who came here to look after the body.

diately after being ass gned to a room

asked that physician be sent for. The
physician found the minister suffering
much pain. but remedies were admin
istered which eased his sufferings and
allowed him to pass the remainder OF
the night comfortably. Saturday, how
ever the minister could retain no food,
and this, with other symptoms caused
the physician to believe that the case
was one Of appendicitis: and to-day
when it was positively diagnosed as
such an immediate operation was de-
cided upon.
The operation on Minister Takahira
was performed between 8 and 4 o'clock
by DIR. William T. Bull, who issued the

alton was done early in the afternoon,
since which time his condition has been
satisfactory, although he cannot be
pronounced out of danger for two or
three days. AT present the outlook is
favorable.
DR.. Bull announced that bulletins
would be issued every three hours for
several days.
At 1:15 O'clock this morning 1t was
reported that there had been no change
in the condition of Minister Takahira.
Sadazuchi Uchida, the Japanese con-
sui general at this port, in speaking of
the operation on Mr.. Takahira said
THE minister rallied after the oper-
alton, and while his condition is far
from being good it Is favorable, and
there is every reason to hope that he
will pull through.
"As SOON as the serious nature of the
illness was made known the legation
in Washington was informed and
through it the home government. Mr..
Haniharo, the third secretary of the
Legation in washington, came on to
this city at once and was present at
the operation. We shall remain with
the minister throughout the night and
| if it is necessary shall issue other
bulletins.
