Howell for congress. Conger for
county clerk; Henry, Fordyoe and
Martin for assembly. They are all
honorable msn. They are no strangers
in public life: oil but Mr.. Stokes have
been renominnted. Their records are
known and what is there against
thom? To Mr.. Howell we owe our
handsome new post office building: TO
DR.. Henry, the eff ort to give the peo-
pie free antetoxin; to MI. Oonger q
clean and satisfactory management of
the county clerks office. We have
enjoyed great prosperity and a
healthy growth under their admins
trations. Why should We desire a

OUSTED THE BOARD
Mayor Of New York Changed
Officials In a Day.
THEY WILLFULLY VIOLATED LAW
Mayors Letter Says, "Thc Conduct
of the Board May he Fairly At
tributed to Collision of Park
COrnInisSfOncr."

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-George B. Nc.
Clellan, mayor of Greater New York,
yesterday afternoon appointed Il new
civil Service commission in place Of the
one he dismissed earlier in the day.
The new board will be composed of
only three members instead of five as
before.
The new board is composed as fol
lows: Bird s. Celcr, president; Alfred
j. Talley of Manhattan, Il. Ross APP
pleton of Brooklyn.
No salaries attach to the offices, ex-
cept in the case of the president, whose
salary is $4,000 a year.
When the three members We're sworn
In the mayor said he expected the
smaller commission would be more eff
acient than the old one.
Mayor Mcclellan removed the entire
civil service commission and the COM
missioner of parks for the borough of
the Bronx ON charges preferred by the
Civil Service Reform association.
In his letter rejecting the resignation
of President John H. McCooey, the
mayor said:
II have reached the conclusion that
Commissioner Sclmitt of the Bronx de-
partment of parks has wilfully violated
the law. | am forced to the conclusion
that in some respects at least this vio-
lation by him would have been impos-
sible IL it had not been for the conduct
Of your board, which l deem Illegal In
itself.
1.-THE conduct Of the board may. be
fairly attributed to collision of the
commissioner of parks of the Bronx.
The civil service commission is intend
ed by law to serve as a check upon the
heads of the city departments so az to
prevent them from violating the law or
its subsidiary rules.
"Your oath of Office and mine re-
quires from each Of us an effort to adj
minister our respective trusts accord
ing to law and In the public interests,
and the city expects that that oath
shall be kept with an exercise Of in.
telligence and right conscience. :

to the disagreeable nature OF the duty
which l am compelled 10 perform. but

Lightning hit oil Tank.

FINDLAY, o., Oct. 6.-The plant of
the National Refining company was
completely destroyed by fire early yes
terday, entailing a loss of upward Of
$780, 200. The fire was started through
lightning striking a 10000 barrel tank,
which at the time was about two
thirds full. When the tank exploded
thousands of barrels of burning oil
were spread oyer the surrounding ter
ritory. Spectators who had gathered
turned and fled wildly from the on
coming sea of fire. A number of per-
sons were burned, but none fatally.
The efforts of the fire department to
suppress the flames were unavailing,
and for a time it seemed as though the
western part of She town was doomed,
A sudden shift the wind, however,
saved the surro nding property, and
the flames were confined to the Ma
tional plant.

With the Republican banner raising

The president is right. There is moth

FLEET DASH OUT.
Defenders Of Port Arthur
Strike at Enemy.
JAPS HAVE LOST TEN THOUSAND.
General Steesscl Reports That Water
Works Redoubts Were Destroyed
by Has Troops Before Being
Evacuated

LONDON, Oct. Ga Tokyo report
received late last night says that the
Russian squadron has made a sortie
from Port Arthur and that Il great M
val battle has occurred. No details are
given.
A Hardin report says that the Japa-
nese advance posts have been driven
back all along the line between the
Hun river and Bensihu.
st. Petersburg advices say that Lieu
tenant General Stoessel, commander
of the Russian military forces at Port
Arthur, has reported the Japanese loss
es at 10000 during the attacks Oh Port
Arthur from Sept. 10.
General Stoessel adds that practical
ly nothing remained of the water
works redoubts when the surviving
Russians evacuated them.
The last japanese attack to which
General Stoessel refers was on a hill
called High mountain, south of Inthan.
He gives instances of the heroism of
the defenders, especially the cast Of Il
lieutenant who threw hand bombs into
the Japanese trenches, causing I'll pam
ic. Colonel Irman, chief of the Port
Arthur artillery, is praised for the
magnificent dispositions of the guns.
The military critics ut st. Petersburg
share in the general uncertainty as to
how to size up the situation at the
front if Field Marshal Oyama makes
his anticipated advance. They seem to
agree that Il strong screening move
ment is in progress Immediately east
of Liaoyang, that probably a feint will
be made from the west. that the tao
ties of the Japanese at %Liaoyang will
be repeated and that General Kuroki
will try a wide fanking movement
from the east.
A Chefu report says that the Japa-
nese have made repeated and reckless
ly brave attempts to capture High hill
at Port Arthur. Owing to the destruc-
ton of earthworks their advance was
completely unprotected, and under the
rays of the ~searchlight the Russian
machine guns swept them down in
masses.
More troops, however, came on with
fanatical bravery, leaping over the
bodies of their dead comrades. Then
the Russians, emboldened by their sue
cess, SORTED and drove them back. The
Japanese replied with machine guns.
1t was the first time the japanese
had been able to entice the Russians
from their shelters, and they worked
terrible havoc among them. The scene
in the morning was appalling. The
hillside was strewn with mangled Rus
sian and japanese bodies, some of
them gripped with CHASTITY realism.
Bowlders were trickling with blood.
A brief message has been received. 1t
is on torn paper, in Chinese, and sign
ed by General Stoessel. 1t states that
all had been quiet since Sept. 25, and
that the Japanese again had asked for
! and were refused a truce to bury their
dead. An official Japanese statement
admits the repulse and confesses the
necessity of a resort to a passive siege,
