The Japanese Forced Back.
CBv the Associated Press.)

Mukden, oct. 17.-1:30 p. m.-The
Russian force at IL o'clock this fore
noon penetrated the japanese center
and it is reported captured eleven or
thirteen guns and $50 prisoners east
Of the railway. At another point dur
ing the day the Siberian regiments
took tWenty-fOur guns.
The Russian operations today have
been quite successful. The japanese,
after a terrifcally stubborn resistance.
were compelled to retire along the
whole line, losing heavily. All the
trenches carried by the Russians were
filled with the Japanese dead. In one
not very large trench there We're
counted six hundred corpses of Japa-
nese. In spite of their losses the Jap
aneSe We're undaunted. They have
brought up siege guns and have left
no stone unturned to retain the mas
terry of the situation. Every step the
Russians have pushed forward today
has been in the face of superb re-
sistance that has cost the Russians
dear. The Japanese seem to be will
ing to fight until they are annihilated.
Tomorrow Will be the tenth day of
the battle.

Eight Speeches by Davis.
CBv the Associated Press.)

Il
Hinton, w. Va, Oct. 11.-Eight
speeches is the record of the Demo-
cratic candidate Henry c.. Davis to-
day. The principal meetings were 1T
Charleston where the special train re-
manned four hours; at Hinton and at
Ronceverte, the latter place being
reached shortly after 8 O'Clock.
The experimenting to-day devolvei
upon Mr.. Davis, Senator Daniel, John
J. McGraw, National Committeeman
for the State and Wood Daily.
An all night run is to be made to
Lynchburg where the train will be
transferred to the lines of the Nor
folk & Western Railway. Senator
Daniel will address meetings early to-
morrow at Roanoke and Radford, Va:
'Bluefield, w. Va. the next stopping
place will be reached in the afternoon.
A fire in the Governors Mansion at
Charleston, an alarm for which was
turned in as the meeting was in seS-
sion created some disturbance at the
meeting at that place especially as it
was hastily rumored that it was u
trick to break uD the meeting. The
fire did little damage either to the
mansion or the meeting.
David b. Hill sent Mr.. Davis a tele-
gram from Indianapolis which was
read at the Charleston meeting. to the
effect that after comforting with num-
erous State leaders, Mr.. Hill felt con-
