RUSSIANSSTILL
HOLD THE FORT
Continued from page one).

General Stoessel's treatment of the
Japanese major was courteous, but
this reply was prompt and character
istic. The japanese major then ask
d Tor a three days truce in which TO
bury h dead. This was refused.
n battle was renewed at 10 O'Clock
on the morning of the 18th and as the
JUNK left 1t was being waged furious
~ on all sides. The Russian refugees
express confidence that the fortress
VIII hold out. They state that rein
forcements from General Kuropatkin
are expected within a fortnight. A
trightful incident Of the recent fight
ing. the refugees state, occurred in
the storming of forts No.3 and No. 4
on the right wing when land mines
were exploded. 1t is alleged that the
TWO japanese infantry regiments, two
squadrons of cavalry and n artillery
company were destroyed.
The refugees further say that the
warships now at Port Arthur are still
in lighting trim This statement seems
hardly credible in the light of recent
developments.
IL Is stated that Admiral Withoeft's
last signal during the battle of Aug.
ust 10. was to remember that the en-
peror's orders were not to return to
Port Arthur. 1t is presumably that
significant repairs had deceived spec
tators viewing the ships under the
disadvantages o~ccasioned by the or
der that no one be allowed to inspect
them.
The Japanese loss at the taking of
Takushan is estimated at 5000
Shells falling in Port Arthur, fell
mostly In the old town.
On the right wing 1t is stated that
the Japanese have penetrated to an
abandoned Chinese arsenal, one and
o~ne-quarter miles east of the city.
Most of the dock yard buildings have
been damaged.

self.
The property damage at Minneap.
oils is said to have been nearly as
great as in st. Paul.
The storm was of short duration,
lasting not more than Is minutes.
The devastation it wrought was terri.
fic. The wind. according to the gov
eminent weather observer, blew so
miles an hour, coming from the south
west. Buildings were unroofed and
fronts blown in, the cellars being
flooded by the rain, which came In
great waves along with the wind
Electric wires were Frustrated and
many persons were injured by con
tact with electric light and trolley
wires. An excursion steamer towing
a barge on the river below st. Paul is
reported to have been wrecked. Re.
lief parties in steam launches have
been dispatched to the rescue. II is

ly 200 persons sustained injuries OF
a minor character. The city govern

they had been strewn. Gangs of line
men were at work removing damag

pairs to their warehouses
The municipality, through the de
struction of bridges, school buildings
parks and other property, suffered the
greatest loss, its damage closely ap
p%roXimating s1,O00,000. The Other
losses invole nearly 10000 business
firms and individuals.
In Minneapolis, where the work Of
clearing away the wreckage and re

country into his confidence at the out
set and conducting his own case in
the broadcast light of public obServa-
ton, he rounded off a work SO well be-
gun by establishing a campaign ma
chinery patterned, modelled and con-
Quoted by himself. He ignored lead
ers and experts grown gray in the
service and chose MIR. Cortelyou for
halIowed customs and traditions of
party organization and management
were set aside. From first to last it
was Theodore Roosevelt's campaign.
His declaration made last week, to
the effect that, if elected, he would
take office absolutely unpledged to any
combination or individual, political,
commercial, or financial, was made, we
ever understanding or impression
others may entertain, we are quite
sure that he expressed his own con-
Viction and that he will act according
ly. If events bring disappointment to
any one, he at least will have no oc-
casion for self-reproach, nor any fear
of legitimate upbraiding from the dis
appointed. If seekers after special
favor or undue privilege hereafter
nurse resentment, they will have
tn emselves to blame for self deception.
Mr.. Roosevelt has authorized these in
ferences by his own solemn and DELHI
crate words, and we believe they were
spoken in absolute sincerity. There
are those who think him rash, i'm
petuous, more inclined to conflict than
diplomacy. These facile judgments
are born of the very impulses and ex-
travagances they arraign. They
count for nothing. Nobody of conse-
quence and character has challenged
his good faith, and none is likely to.
That is the matter of real moment
with the people.
Thus Mr.. Roosevelt, having come
into his own, enjoys not only the vast
power of his lofty place, but an oppor-
tunity such as has been vouchsafed
few men in this or any other age.
Bound by no pledges, embarrassed by
no debts or bargains, free to act ac-
cording to his conscience and to real
ize every pure and patriotic aspira-
ton, he is to be envied by the most
powerful among the rules of the
world. With an empire at his feet, it
is for him to say how high and nobly
he will lift his head.

THE ELECTION OF ROOSEVELT.

The election of President Roosevelt
has brought a flood of editorials. There

The following, from the Washington

The expected has happened.
Theodore Roosevelt is elected pres
ident of the United States by an over
whelming majority
The campaign just closed will long
be remembered as perhaps the most
remarkable episode in the history of
the country. 1t may be said to have
opened more than a year ago, when
Mr.. Roosevelt frankly announced his
wish for the nomination and as frank
ly appealed to the people for their in
dorsement and approval. He assumed
no airs of coyness or hesitation, re-
sorted to no pretenses of any kind
whatever. On the contrary, he dis
carded all the time-honored subter-
fuges employed by aspirants in his po-
sition, honestly proclaimed his ambi-
lions, and without the smallest effort
at conceaIment. addressed himself to
their promotion. AS he began, so he
continued to the end. Taking the

OTTAWA is AFTER GAS.
A. p. Elder Says His Company VIII
Furnish the City.

Ottawa, Nov. 1.-THE stockholders
of the Chippewa company will hold a
meeting and a number of important
matters will be taken up. 1t is quite
probable that the propositions made
by the Ottawa gas company to the
directors at their meeting Monday will
be considered. At that time the gas
company made the Chippewa company
two offers-one on natural gas deiiv-
cred at the plant and the other to sell
their plant and pipes to the Chippewa
company. A third proposition-to buy
the Chippewa wells-was also made.
A. p. Elder, of the gas company, said:
The people are clamoring for natural
gas 1t is around here, and we expect
to get it. Mr.. Fred Ball, of Garnett,
has been here twice asking us to make
an offer similar to the ones we have
made the Chippewa company-deliv-
cred at the city limits or to consoli-
date on a pipe line-but we are hold
ing that in allegiance, as we prefer to
secure gas at home if possible. The
well at Rantoul is making a good
showing of gas, and if other wells,
which are being drilled now, are as
good, we may use that"
The gas company can use either Is,
Is or SO per cent of natural gas in
connection with artificial gas. A larg-
er per cent is liable to cause trouble.
