 One of the proudest men in New York state today is Wflliam Bishop, the station agent at Arkville, in the Catskills, because he recently received a $1Oo tip and railroad pass to the St Louis exhibition and return from George J. Gould, says Middletown (N. N special dispatch to the New York Press.
 Mr. Gould had been staying in his summer home. Furlough lodge, on his estate near Arkvtlle He arrived at Arlville in his private car, which was run on a switch. It was visited by people from miles around. So many came to see 1t that the station agent had the greatest difficulty in prevent ing damage to the interior.
 Mir. Gould so appreciated the care with which his property was guarded, also the efficient manner in which ex- press matter for Furlough lodge had been handled all the season, that when he was leaving Arkvine for New York he thanked the station agent and gave him the $1O0 and the pass.

 The senator discussed the respective candidates for the presidency, saying: 'Our candidate reflects the traditions of his party. He is a man of peace, as against a man of war; a man of law and order, as against a mar oG i'm pulse and agitation. He believes as we believe. in ,the restrictions of the constitution. He is opposed to ex- ecutive dictatorship and usUrpation. He considers that we have a sufficient domain of our own to govern without proselyting the world to the tenets of our faith and amalgamating with us foreign hOrdes uncongeniaI to our in stitutions."
 NIT. Rayner referred to the Schley case. announcing his determination to impeach 'this iniqutOus conviction and show that this verdict ought to be obliterated from the pages of American history and concluded with this fur ther reference to President Roosevelt: "I have not a word to utter against the character of President Roosevelt,

A ROWLING WILDERNESS
A Democratic Description of President
 ROOsevelt's Hind.

New York, Oct. 29.-D. Cady Her rick, the democratic candidate for gov ernor of New York, and Senator Isi- dore Rayner, of Maryland, spoke here tonight at a mass meeting held in Car negie hall under the, auspices of the College Mems Parker and Davis league.
 William HOrnblower was introduced as th9 presiding officer. He said, in part: We are prepared to meet our opponents upon every proposition Of which they have chosen to make an issue in this campaign, and we claim that on each of these propositions the republicans represent not the stand point of intelligence, patriotism and virtue. but exactly the opposite; that on the contrary, the standpoint of the democrats upon those propositions is the standpoint of intelligence, patriot ism and virtue"
 Senator Rayner took issue with the republicans upon the prosperity argu- ment, admitting that there is a period of business revival with the classes but denying that it extends to tho masses. There is no general prosper ity,' he continued. "among the mil lions of those who are toiling for the necessities of life, with whom high prices are bane and not 9 blessing The artificial prosperity that the ue- publican speakers are dwelling upon i. all confined within contracted com mercial quarters, while the great body of the American people are not nearly as contented and prosperous as they had been during the democratic as cendancy."

THE BURNING QUESTION
Can Cans Get Down to Weight by To-
 morrow Night?

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 29.-Inter- est in the contest between Joe Cans and Jimmy Britt, scheduled for next Monday night. centers in a query as to whether. Cans can. make the re- quired weight of 133 pounds. Cans has been around the 136 pound mark for several days. By some it is all legged that he is having much trouble in reducing, while others suggest that 1t is a play to bring the betting to even money.
 Britt says that if Cans is one ounce over weight he will insist on the $500 forfeit, and that there will be no fight Referee Graney has announced that If Cans is over weight and Britt is per suaded to go on. he will declare bets off
 Cans asserts that he has no fear of being over weight when the time for the fight comes. For the present tho betting is practically at a standstilL though d few bets have been placed at 10 to on Cars.

These four members will select the fifth, who will have the casting vote.

LINEVlTcH's APPOINTMENT.
That in St. Petersburg Was the Most
 Interesting News of the Day.

St. Petersburg. Oct .29.-The arrival of Lieutenant General Linevitch ct Mukden to assume command of the Siberian corps is the most interesting item of todays' war news. The au- nouncement of his appointment which was telegraphed by the correspondent of the Associated Press. confirms the general expectation that Lieutenant General Linevitch will be summoned by General kuropatkin to assume an important part in the conduct of the campaign. General Ltnevitch is sixty six years of age. but is active and im- mensely popular among the Siberian troops, which he commanded during che BoXer war He acted as command CT in chief of the Russian forces prior to General Kuropatkin's appointment and arrival in Mancnuria.
 The first Russian army, which com prises six Siberian and three Euro pean corps, it now appears is likely to be split into two sections. one of which will be entrusted to the com mand of General Linevitch and the other most likely will form the nuc- leus of q third army under General Baron Kaulbars, al present command CT in chief in the Odessa district. The appointment of the latter is regarded as certain. General Kaulbars gained prominence as the Russian representa- tive in Bulgaria during the reign of Prince Alexander. He has the repu- tation of being an energetic and ever head-strOng commander.
 Operations in Manchuria have agair lulled during the last couple of days the Japanese and Russians apparently contenting themselves with partia successes, the Russians having captur- ed a couple of villages on the westerT flank while the Japanese carried Buddhist temple on a hill east of anC near to Bentsiaputze.
 According to the Associated Pres correspondent at Mukden, two machine guns which had been abandoned pre- viously by the Russians, have beer completely dIsmantled and their bar rels removed.
 General Kuropatkin has now receiv ed sufficient endorsements to replac the 4J,000 men officially admitted t nave been killed, wounded or missin; in the battle of Shakhe. The hospi tals at Mukden are no longer cOnSest

His Talk on the Subject of Irrigation Aroused the Audience to the POssi- Utilities of That Rich Agricultural RegiOn-The horsnci Meeting.

Thatcher. Ariz, Oct. 2s-CSpecial)- The Fowler meeting at MOrenci last night and the one at Thatcher tonight brought out the largest crowd ever seen at either place. There was the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in MT. Fowler's ability to do more for Ari- zona than any other man These meet ings were the best held So far. more than 1000 persons being present ar each meeting The halls were crowded to the fullest capacity. MT Fowler was in good form and in spite of long rides he delivered stirring speeches.
 The meeting tonight was in Amuse- ment hall, in the basement Of the Church of Latter Day Saints. which has a seating capacity Of over 800 and the hall was more than filled with rep resentative people from every section of the valley, the majority being of the Mormon faith. Some had travele,i
 many miles to be present in order % hear the speech of the man Of whom they had heard so much.
 The reception committee consisted of J. A. Wakefield. James Duke. Alex Hunt, Edward Futile. Bishop Walker and others. MT. Fowler was the guest of President Andrew Kimball. who IS anxious that his people should give both candidates a fair hearing and then judge for themselves. Mir F'owIcr's
 speech was devoted mostly to irriEa- tion, he explaining his part in the pass
 age of the national irrigation act. showing that 1t was not a party nlsa-
 sure, all parties standing by it. He
 also gave a most valuable piece of in formation for the people Of this val ] ley.
 It is said that the government en- gineers have located two reservoirs in 1 the Gila valley. a dam to be located above SolomOnville where it is possible | to irrigate about 3O.00O acres MT | Fowler showed how 1t was possible for ! the government to appropriate money i to construct reservoirs in addition 10 i those already appropriated. This in | formation created surprise, His speech 1 made a strong impression and it is | predicted that the Smith ma jority will l vanish on election day

HoNoRs EVEN.
The Russians Captured Villages, the
 Japanese took a Hill.

Mukden, Oct 29.-At daybreak on October 26 the Russian guns on Lone Tree hill began shelling the villages on the south, where the Japanese were notably active. Similar activity was remarked along the whole front.
 A detachment of the Russian west ern column, under the command Of Colonel Giesser, on the night of Octo- Der 26 attacked a couple of villages lying a few miles to the south of Sin chinpu. The Russian mortar batter ies had previously shelled them throughout the whole day Neverthe- less, the Japanese offered desperate re- sistance. It was only after a deter mined bayonet charge that the assail- ants cleared the villages, the name of one of which is not given, and the oth- CT of which is known as Hanlinpu.
 A tour of the hospitals in MUkden shows that the accommodations for wounded there are far inferior to the hospitals at Liao Yang. This is espe cially true of the Red Cross barracks, where the surgeons and sisters are on duty twenty-four hours every other day. Fewer wounded are now being brought in, and the hospitals are be- ginning to assume q normal aspect.
 The Japanese assumed the offensive on october Zt, at 4anSlnlun. nalE way between Bentsiaputze and Fengtiapu, on the NIu6dea road. The whole day was passed by the artillery in prepa ration for a bOmbardment of the Rus sian position. Toward evening the whole regiment moved out to capture a hill on which is a Buddhist temple. one mile south of Yansintun. The temple was held by a Russian bat talion with two machine guns. A fierce i fight with cold steel ensued, and the summit of the hill was strewed with ! cOTpses.
 The Russians were outnumbered, l their machine guns were dismantled. and they were compelled to fall back upon their main positions carrying
 with them the barrels of their ma
 chine guns. The Russian artillery 1 then swept the hill with such a hail of projectiles that the Japanese were un- able to remain there. Heavy losses
 were inflicted on both sides.

RUSSIANS WERE WARNED.
They Knew Jap Torpedo Boats Were
 Fitting in England and Sweden.

Paris, Oct. 2s.-The speech of Pre- mier Balfour at Southampton. last night has created a decidedly unfav- Orable impression in highest Russian quarters here, and it is stated by those in the best position to judge that the view of St. Petersburg will similarly dislpprove the premier's remarks.
 The following statements were given to the Associated Press from the most authoritative sources: "A1r. Balfour's 3 deduction that Admiral estvensky's s statement is pure fancy is based on the premier's declaration that the admiral was looking out for torpedo boats com ing from Japan. As a matter of fact. the Russian admiral was not guarding against torpedo boats coming thou sands of miles from Japan. as that would have been manifestly absurd. but he was guarding against torpedo boats armed and equipped in the vic inity of the North sea.
 This is not a matter of speculation or imagination, but a matter of fact,

GERMAN ERIENpLlNEss.
Any Grievance That Might be Felt
 Aoai1,t Russia Is Concealed.

Berlin, Oct. 29.-The deferential at titude of Germany towards Russia finds striking illustration in the press treatment of the case of the German fishing vessel Sonntag. Most of the newspapers. while discussing the Brit ish case at great length. have not even printed the news that the Sonntag was fired on by Russian warships, and none of them expresses indignation even in the mildest protest.
 The foreign office, after receiving of ficial information from the Bremen au- thorities of the protest entered against the firing on the Sonntag, ordered that Captain Haeheners test stimony be taken. An inspired paragraph in one of the evening papers says Germany will lodge protest at St. Petersburg if it transpires that the honor of the German flag has been insulted. that is. if the captain displayed his flag and the firing on it was continued.
 A dispatch to the Tageblatt from Kiel says that when the Russian squadron was passing through the great belt it fired two shells a an un- known northbound steamer. which es- caped unharmed.

THE INDEFINITE DEAD
Number of Victims of Colorado Nine
 Disaster Still Unknown.

Trinidad, Col, Oct. 2S.-At o'clock this evening the number of miners killed by the mine explosion yesterday at Tercio is still indefinite Local or ficials of the Rocky Mountain Coal and Iron company declare that. so far as they know, there were only twenty one men in the mine at the time of the explosion Reliable miners employed in the camp say there were between thirty and sixty men in the mine. The regular force numbered eighty, but it Is said that about thirty Of them went to Trinidad yesterday to take out naf- uralization papers preparatory 10 the election. The reason the number at work is not positively known is be- cause the men are checked of when leaving the mine instead of when go- ing in. The number of dead will not be ascertained until after the mine is thoroughly explored The men were foreigners who had been imported to take the places of strikers. and their names had not been learned.
 Hundreds of miners from other camps are working in three hour re- liefs in an effort to reach the bodies. but the work is slow and extremely dangerous, as. on account of the for nation. the ground is constantly cav ing in. Three bodies. so badly burned and mutilated as to be unrecognizahle were taken out at D. m- They were found near the first airshaft- Most Of the other dead are supposed to be in numbers 2f to 30 1000 feet further in the tunnel
