Something of a commotion was Great
ed in republican circles by the publica-
ton of letter which was alleged to
have been written by President Roose-
welt to President Donnelley of the Meat
Cutters union in which structures were
placed upon the actions of union work
men, and it was also intimated that the
president would have to take it upon
himself to call out the federal troops
to suppress disturbances. Such a let
ter was never written by President
Roosevelt. The New York Evening Post
several months ago published letter
addressed to President Donnelley, and
which was written in the office of The
Post At the time of its publication The
Post stated that President Roosevelt
could with some degree of propriety
write such letter. However, the senti-
ments contained in the letter are not
those held by the president.

GREATER NEW YORK is THREAT.
ENED WITH THE WORST IN
ITS HISTORY.
MALADY BREAKS THE RECORD
OVER FOUR HUNDRED CASES
ARE REPORTED IN EXACTLY
THREE WEEKS.

New York, Sept. 29.-Greater New
York Is at present threatened with
what may be the severest epidemic OF
typhoid fever in it's history. Not only
are the number of typhoid cases re-
ported for the three weeks of Septem-
Der ending last Saturday greater than
that of any month last year, but since
the beginning Of the summer the death
rate has been so muA higher than for
merly that the health department is
now thoroughly alarmed, and is bend
ing every effort toward checking the
disease.
When it is considered that the
spread of typhoid last year was great
er than it has been for many years
the gravity of the present situation is
indicated.
For the three weeks just ended the
total number of cases reported at. the
health department was AL. The ia
talities numbered IA, or death rate of
nearly 20 per cent Last year during
the worst month-that of October
the largest number of cases in New
York was 324 and the highest death
rate at any time during the year was
1874 per cent.

SUBJECT OF SPECULATION.
Conference Between Italian Premier
and German Chancellor.

Berlin, Sept. 29.-Signor Giollitti,
the Italian premier, left Hamburg
Wednesday for Racconigi, Italy, after
two days visit to Chancellor Won
Buelow, which, at this juncture of in
ternational affairs, has naturally given
rise to conjectures that the conference
concerned partly the question of
mediatOry offers in the far Eastern
war. The German, as well as the Brit
ish and Italian press, was quick to
comment on this probability. The con-
lectures, however, have brought out
equally prompt denials from the gov
eminent organs. The National lei
tung. in an evidently inspired para
graph, styling the reports that the con-
ference dealt with the question of
mediation as absurd fabricatiOns.
Several of the newspapers close to the
government point out that owing to
the absence of an expression of de-
sire for mediation on the part of
either belligerent mediatory proposals
are out of the question. No trust
worthy statement regarding the real
purport of the conference has been
given out.
1t is reported that Premier Giollitti
may have been charged to arrange for
a visit of Emperor William to Rome,
to be present at the baptism of the
crown prince, rumor being current

The President Has Many Callers OF
Note.

Washington, Sept. 29.-Wednesday

Roosevelt has had for several weeks.
Secretary Taft called in company

signed to the command of the division
of the Philippines. General Corbin

nary to his departure from this coun-
try on Oct. Is for Manila.
Secretary Hitchcock, Attorney Gen.
eral Moody and Postmaster General
Payne had brief conferences with the
president on departmental matters.
The president was introduced to
Mons Monssen, the gunner of the bat
tleship Missouri, who, by flooding the
vessels forward magazine, prevented
the total destruction of the ship and
her crew at the time of the disaster
which cost the lives of more than a
score offs the Missouri's crew. Presi-
dent Roosevelt warmly congratulated
Monssen on his personal bravery and
complimented the conduct of the Off
GERS and crew of the vessel on the oc-
casion of the disaster, adding that the
men of both the American navy and
the American army always were to be
depended upon in time of danger or
emergency.

date in New York.
New York, Sept 29.-At no time
since Judge Parker was nominated as
the candidate of the Democratic party
for president has he met SO many
members of his party who occupy high
positions politically and commercially
as on his present visit to New York.
The candidates rooms at the Hotel
Seville, which were well filled Tues
day, were overrun with visitors
Wednesday. Many came to discuss
subjects of interest in campaign work
and others to congratulate the Judge
on his letter of acceptance and his
campaign generally.
For the first time on his New York
trips the candidate accepted dinner
invitation. For breakfast and lunch
con he went to the main dining room
of his hotel, but in the evening he ac-
companied Howard Taylor, prominent
in the organization of Parker COnsti-
tuition clubs, to the Union club, where
they had dinner. Mr. Taylor's only
other guest was William Travers Je-
rome.
Among Judge Parker's noteworthy
callers were Senator Raynor, Governor
Maryland; Ex-Governor Thomas of
Colorado, and David B. Hill.
AS on former occasions when Judge
Parker has visited New York he has
been urged to undertake an extensive
speaking campaign on his own behalf.
It is said he has now declared final his
decision not to make political speeches
except to delegations which may call
on him at his home at Esopus. He
will make TWO speeches each week,
each speech confined to one topic

FAIRBANKS TALKS IN MONTANA.
Discusses the Charges of Corruption
Against Republican PARTY.

Helena, Mont, Sept. 29.-In his
principal speech here last night, Sena-
tor Fairbanks discussed at some
length the charges of corruption made
against the Republican party, extend
ing and making more specific his re-
marks a. Great Falls. He refrained
carefully rom mention of Judge Par
ker's NAME, but it was understood by
all that the speech was inspired by
the utterances of the Democratic can
didate on this subject in his letter of
acceptance. Speaking of the part
played by President Roosevelt in the
prosecution of the postoffice scandals,
Fairbanks said he has enforced the
laws. He has driven corruption out of
public places. Some dishonest men
were bound to get positions in
the vast army of postal employees.
Some were Democrats, some Republi-
cans; all who were found guilty were
punished. Senator Fairbanks paid
high tribute to President Roosevelt's
character and his remarks were ap-
plauded.
Mr. Fairbanks also discussed the
tariff question and the subject of irri-
cation, again giving the president and
Senator Carter credit for much that
has been done toward extending gov
eminent and in the reclamation of the
arid lands. There were two meetings
here last night, one being held at the
Auditorium and the other at the
Helena theater Senator Fairbanks
and Senator Deliver spoke at both
meetings.
During the day there was less
speaking than usual. At Great Falls,
a few remarks were made to an assem-
bly, of workmen from the smelter.
There was a brief stop at Cascade,

HEAVY LOSS TO JAPs.
Said to Have Suffered Seven Thousand
Casualties at Port Arthur.

Chefoo. Sept. 29.-Russians residing
here claim to have received informa-
tion that the Japanese losses In the
last assault on Port Arthur, which be-
gan Sept 10, were 1000. A Chinese
who left the fortress on Sept. rs says
that the Russian losses were between
500 and 600.
This Chinaman says that the Japan
csc were unable to remain in the three
supplementary forts which they cap
tured and that they retired at o'clock
on the afternoon of Sept. &c, after en-
during several days of tremendous fir
ing from the inner forts.
He adds that the Russians attempted
to nury the dead of both sides at night,
because the decomposing bodies seri-
ously menace the health of the garri-
son. The Russians allege that it is
the deliberate policy of the Japanese
to undermine the health of the Russian
troops by means of the Odors from the
decomposing bodies and that for this
reason they fire on the burial parties.
