Tribute to New EngIanders.
After paying tribute to the citi-
zens of Vermont and of New Hamp-
shire for their loyalty and efficient
service in every national emergency,
Mr.. Fairbanks entered upon an extend-
ed review of the policies Of the repub-
lican and democratic parties during
the past twelve years.
Republicans Bring Prosperity.
He pointed out that under repub.
lican administrations the country en-.
joyed unprecedented prosperity, while
the four years in which the democrats
held the reins of government were
years of arrested development, of pam
ic and distress without parallel In
American history.
Tariff the Issue.
The senator argued that the repub-
licans' firm attitude toward protec-
tive tariff and the democrats wavering
policy on that issue was the reason for
the extreme conditions LII the country 8
prosperity. Continuing, he said;
Does Roosevelt Deserve Confldencef
"One of the most uppermost ques-
tions present and one which Is OF far
reaching moment. is does the admini-
stration of President Roosevelt merit
vote Of confidence? The question
confronts us at the very threshold Of
debate.
Has Carried Out Strong Policies.
The President took up the duties
of his Office at a serious moment in the
history Of the republic. He assumed
his great responsibilities with due
appreciation Of their gravity and gave
assurance to his countrymen that he
would carry out the policies Of his
predecessor. The people were famil-
lar with them, they were policies Of
the republican party.They had brought
the country immeasurable prosperity.
and the people naturally desired their
continuance. He has since administers
ed our national affairs with conspicu.
Gus ability. He has been an earnest
student of the country's needs. He has
been conscientious and untiring In the
discharge of his great responsibilities.
He has been inspired by but one pur-
pose and that has been to do we'll
the work committed to his hands.
EminentIy Successful Administration.
Judged by any test we may apply,
the administration Of President Roose.
welt has been eminently successful. The
last three years have been years Of ex.
ceptional commercial growth, domestic
peace and expanding power.
Result Of Democratic Policies.
"As in 1892 the democratic party now
denounces protection as robbery Of
the many, to enrich the few and
| pledges itself to overthrow the Ding.
ley law, through revision and reduc.
ton of the tariff. What will be the re.
suit of such policy? We will find the
most conclusive answer in the four
4 years of the last democratic admins
stration Let the American people take
the democratic platform and the REQ.
ord of the last democratic administra.
i tion on the one hand and the record of
the republican administration during
the last three years on the other and
then pronounce their Judgment

THE MORMON RELIGION
Statistical Information Brought Out
 by the Smoot Investigation.

Washington, n. C., Dec. 19.-Thc senate committee on privileges and elections today developed nothing sen- sational in the Senator Smoot lnvesti- gation. Interest was evinced by the members of the committee in state ments of A. c. Nelson, superintendent of public instruction for Utah, con- corning the use of school buildings for the. teaching of the Mormon religion.
 In regard to colonization, Apostle Smith said there is a large settlement in Mexico and that one-third of the population of Idaho and one-fourth of the population of Wyoming are Mcr- mons. Other states and territories having large settlements are Nevada, California, Arizona, Colorado and New York, while Iowa has large settle ment of the reorganized Church of the Latter Day Saints. which drew away from the other churches because it did not believe in polygamy.

CHADWICK Is BANKRUPT
The Civil Case Going on While She Is
 Getting We'll.

Cleveland, Dec. 19,-Four witnesses were heard today in bankruptcy pro ceedings against Mrs. Cassie L. Chad wick, after which the hearing was con tinued until tomorrow when Receiver Nathan Loeser hopes to have the wOEl- an present. Mrs. Chadwick's appear ance will depend on the report to the referee in bankruptcy, MT. Remington as to the physical condition, her coun- sel stating in court that she was ill and it being agreed that several physicians should make an examination tomorrow morning.
 But little information was secured today as to Mrs. Chadwick's jewelry that her creditors thinks she has, or of the missing trunk and alise that the receiver desires to find. The eXamina- tion today of two of the witnesses, Emil Hoover, Mrs. Chadwick's son, and Freda SwanstrOm, her maid, centered about these articles. From the several admissions made Receiver Loeser, how ever, will continue his inquiry with a hope of locating the property.

Nothing of Importance De-
 ing in ManChuria
THE GOLD PFACEMAKER
The Japanese Are Further En- CroaChing Upon Port Arthur by a Capture by Mining Of One of the KeKwan Forts.

>Mukden, Dec. 19, via PelIin Dec. 19.- The correspondent of the Associated Press has toured the entire Russian front, traversing nearly 100 miles along and around the frost covered burrows of the soldiers from the Hun river to the Shakhe river. At all times there has been demonstrative but ir- regular cannonading along the center where, owing to the proximity of the lines, corps commanders while inspect ing positions have frequently been re- cognized and fired at with shells.
 On the extreme right and left Hanks the lines are separated by from five to eight miles and across these spaces both sides occasionally march batta- lions recOnnoitering and making de- monstrative attacks during which each side has taken prisoners. The object of both the Russians and Japanese in these operations is the same, namely to prevent Q molestation of winter can comments.
 The positions of both the Russians and the Japanese are similar to those held by them before the battle of Liao Yang and therfore the spring campaign will find the two armies in the same relation as at Liao Yang.
 r. General Rennenkampff's area beyond Da pass is one of great picturesqueness and owing to the extreme weather con ditions it is now considered as being inaccessible to the Japanese.
 The feet of a number of Japanese in- fantrymen taken by the Russians were frozen and their clothing was made quate, but it is said General Kuroki has now replaced his infantry mounted troops, who are warmly clad.
 The Russian troops are in splendid spirits. They are cheerfully accom- modating themselves to the battle-de- vastated wilderness and are building roads and sledges to traverse them.

RUSSIANS SURPRISED.

London, Dec. 19.-According to spe- cial correspondents with the Japanese army, the capture of the Kekwan fort was a complete surprise to the Rus sian, garrison, there having been no preparatory bombardment. The Japa- nesc sappers drove shafts forty feet under the parapet of the fort, from the cscapement and the moat. In these, two tons of dynamite were exploded simultaneously, completely Wrecking the interior of the fort, while siege and shrapnel guns shelled the Russian troops in the vicinity. This occurred at o'clocl. in the afternoon.
 A detachment of the Japanese infan- try made d headlong but premature rush and most of them became buried under the mass of debris, greatly de- laying the attack. Despite this mis- chance. another volunt eer force dashed forward and captured the parapet- In the meantime the Russians had been strongly reinforced and a fierce hand to-hand struggle with bayonets and grenades was continued until near midnight. then the few Russian sur Vivors retreated and the fort was cap tured. Its construction displays the utmost scientific knowledge.

The Defendant Was Not
 Cross Examined
GOES TO THE JURY TODAY
The Impression Is That There Will Be Disagreement - The Defend- ants Relation of the Hold.up. Those Missing Checks.

Prescott, Ariz., Dec. 19.-(SpeciaL) )- The evidence in the Storm trial was concluded this afternoon. The prin- cipal feature today was the fact that the defendant went on the stand. He testified to being held up on NOvem- Der g. and that he kicked on the vault door several times, without getting any response, finally going to sleep or fainting. He remained in this condi- tion until the next morning, when he was released. He said there was SS, 00O in gold and $4.OOO in bills in the vault when he was held ID.
 His account of the robbery did not differ materially from that of the other witnesses. He was on the stand about an hour and half.
 The absence of checks aggregating between $4,OOO and 5000 that are missing from the treasury still re- mains one of the mysteries of the case. and one witness says that they are gone and the defendant maintains that they were burned.
 The defendants wife testified that she gave her husband $2,000 to make good two checks covering that amount which were in the vault and which were missing from the county funds, and which checks Storm had . placed for a shortage in his account.

In a voice quivering with emotion, but filled with dramatic intensity, Miss Patterson, who is on trial charged with the murder of Caesar Young, re cited to the jury the scenes in her life which had to do with her dealings with Young. Not only did Miss Pat terson swear she did not kill Young, but she denied every circumstance in the case which the state has brought up against her. She denied that she was dismayed because Young was about to leave her and go to Europe after having been told by kim, as il has been alleged, that all was over be- tween them.
 On the other hand. she testified that as the result of her conference with Young, it was agreed she should join him in England and take apartments at the Hotel Cecil, London, taking care that she keep her whereabouts a com plete secret from Mrs. Young and Xoung's relatives. An important fea- ture brought out was the fact that Young gave the woman a postal card, on which he wrote her name and ad- dress, saying it was something she might need.
 The crowd in the courtroom became suddenly still when the former show girl took the stand. The first of her testimony, relating to herself, was given in a low, even voice, but as she proceeded her tones became more tense until. in her account Of the fatal cab ride. her voice was filled with tragic expression.
 Early in her story, Miss Patterson told of her original meeting with Young, of their. life together and ol their contemplated European trip. She told of her talk with Young the night before his proposed departure for Southampton, of her being awakened by q telephonic message from him to
 go to the pier to see him off. Of the ride down town, of the moments in the saloon and of the ride in the cab be- fore the shooting.
 She was asked to dc scribe what hap pened after leaving the saloon, while driving down West Broadway. we talked about his going away, and he kept questioning me about my coming to meet him. she said. "I did
 not say anything, and finally he said But l don't feel certain that you are fooling; are you?"
 Then he said, Are you going?'' said, well, Caesar, there's no use saying I will, because I've made UT
 my mind not to go over there. but you go and get things quieted down until 1 the folks have forgotten about things l By that time I will meet you at the | Saratoga meet"
 ''I1e looked at me a while and said l Do you mean that?' and then he grab | bed me by my hand nearest to him and pulled me over toward him. He hurt
 me so that I tried to pull away, but 1 could not get away from him. I put
 my other hand up and he grabbed me ! Somehow or other I got away from | him. I told him that he hurt me-"

JAPAN'S HEROES.
Twenty Ceremonies Will Be Rendered
 for the Brave.

Tol1io, Dec. 19.-Although accus- toned to hearing of acts of bravery on the part of their soldiers and sailors the people of Japan have been thrilled by details of the series of desperate torpedo boat attacks against the Rus sian battleship SevastOpol and other craft driven outside the harbor of Port Arthur by the fire of the Japanese land batteries.
 Commander Yezoe and Lieutenant Nakahara are the heroes of these at tacks and the former promises to gain equal prominence with Commander Hirose (who on March 27 last was blown to fragments in Vice Admiral Togo's second attempt to bottle up Port Arthur in the war traditions of Ja- pan.
 Commander Yezoe's 1otiIla of tor pedo boats was undergoing repairs when the attack was planned, but he succeeded in putting one of his vessels into condition for the fight. On this vessel he promptly steamed to a ren- dezvOus and finding that the other flo- tillas had gone, begged and gained per mission to join in the attacks Then ! he steamed through sHow storm alone and succeeded in locating the Sevasto- pol to which he was able to get close
 
 1 Yezoe fired a torpedo. Then he went i closer and fired a second torpedo. when 7 a shell from the Sevastopol struck him in the abdomen, cutting his body in ! two. Portions of Yezoe's remains were saved and brought back to the fleet They will probably come to Japan for public interment, as was done with portions of remains of Commander Hirose.
 Lieutenant Nakahara went to the rescue of the disabled torpedo boats which had been under the command of Lieutenant Nakahori, who with five others, was killed and submitted to a deadly fire. Nakahara's boat was hit repeatedly, but he succeeded in rescu- ing the majority of the crew of Naka- norris boat. More of Admiral Togo's men volunteered for participation in attacks than could be assigned.
 It is probable that Admiral Togo will soon return to Japan, leaving a junior admiral to conduct the final operations expected that Togo will be summoned tby the emperor to Tokio where he will be given a splendid public reception. Admiral Togo's campaign of ter months is considered equal to any ir | the history of naval warfare. He has labored constantly under the necessity of preserving the vessels of his fleet for service against the Russian second l Pacific squadron. The admiral and his men have stood the storm, stress and exposure excellently.N The men are in good health.

One man testified that he saw two men hurriedly leave the court house on election day Many witnesses testified to the good character of the defendant and others on minor points of the case. The case will not go to the jury until Tuesday afternoon, making a nine days trial Speculation is being gem orally indulged in as to the verdict, Gnd the opinion is that there will be a disagreement.
 The prosecution did not cross-exam- inc the defendant today. During the progress of the trial the courtroom has been packed, and many ladies have been in attendaLce. Storms wife and daughter have been constantly beside him, and both have given evidence.

BRITT IS THE FAVORITE
Everything Ready for the FistiC En-
 counter Tonight.

San Francisco, Cal. Dec. 19.-Not until a few hours before their fight to- morrow night will Jimmy Britt and Battling Nelson leave their training camps. All work, however, has prac- tically ceased, and the young boxers today did little more than move about in a recreative way. Nelson is slightly under weight and Britt a fraction over the mark, so that the forfeit money is safe on both sides. Tn interviews to- day, each of the pugilists expressed confidence in the outcome.
 The betting on the match has thus far been light, with Britt the faverite, and Nelson supporters asking for greater odds. Today, 10 to were the figures given around sporting head quarters, and tonight the Nelsonites were demanding 10 to '.

THE STARVING PlMAS
This Matter Again Brought to the
 Presidents Attention.

Washington. D. C., Dec 19.-Dr Charles L. Thompson, secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Missions, dis cussed with President Roosevelt today the serious condition of the Pima h. diars of Arizona. He told the presi- dent that the Indians were actually dying of starvation because their lands have been rendered unproductive by the diversion of the water of the streams running through them. The diversion of the water was caused by the development of the plans of the government for the irrigation of arid lands.
 Through a commission, the president
