WORST CONFLICTS
IN BIG REVOLUTION
Monks Attack RevOlutiO6iSly Some are
Killed and Captured.- Expulsion Of Monks
and More Battles Sure

LISBON, Oct. S.-One of the worst
conflicts since the initial outbreak of
the revolution occurred today between
the republicans and the defenders OF
the Quelhos monastery, the latter be
ing captured after a heavy artillery
fire in which several monks were
killed
The fight was started by the monks,
who attacked a ral ty of passing revo-
lutionists, in revenge for the lombard
ment Of the monastery on Wednesday
A rifle fight ensued the revolutionists
being worsted when the infantry, cav
airy and artillery reinforcements came
up. The monastery was again bonn
bafded and its defenders surrendered
after two hours resistance. At least
a dozen were killed and score in
jured on both sides.
After the surrender of the monastery
the surviving monks were allowed to
leave, taking their dead and injured
with them Several hundred monks
and two regiments we're engaged in
the battle.
The expulsion of monks from other
monasteries is being accompanied by
severe fighting and heavy loss of

Columbia Professor
Climbs Mt. Mckinley

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Professor
Herschel Parker of Columbia univer
sity returned from his unsuccessful
attempt to climb Mount Mckinley, and
today submitted to the Explorers club
here report of his trip.
He declares he undoubtedly reached
a point closer to the summit than any
previous explorer. He scouts the claim
of the so-called Lloyd party which
professed to have climbed the peak in
April as we'll as those of DIR. Frederick
A. Cook.
The Columbia professor claims two
worlds records. One, the feat OF stay
ing fifty days on Chulitna glacier, sup
ported only by provisions which he
and his party could carry on their
backs. The second record Is that oi
having climbed to the highest point
ever reached OF the new famous noun
tain. His instruments registered 6
height of over ten thousand feet Even
at that height, Professor Parker said
he was seven miles from the uncon
quered summit.
The party made four attempts tC
scale the mountain from the southern
and eastern sides. Each time they
were driven back by storms.

WILSON BOOSTS FOR coRTEz.

r. e. Wilson, editor OF the Monte
yuma journal, was in the city from
Cortez last night to meet his wife
and family, who arrived on the east
ern from Colorado Springs. Mr. VIII
son says that the Cortez fair was a
hummer. The exhibits were fine, es-
pecially the fruit and grain. He was
proud of the fact that the Montezuma
valley took fifty-nine premiums at the
Pueblo fair He said the variety of
products raised in the valley Is re-
markable. To take premiums on win
ter wheat. early apples. Dent corn and
Crawford peaches speaks for itself as
to the possibilities OF the Montezuma
valley. A very large crowd was in
attendance at Cortez yesterday. Mr..
Wilson is just as staunch Republican
and as good booster as ever and
we are sure his paper will do much
for the county along both lines.

ROME. Ca, Oct. S.-Sklrting the

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt today
started upon his flying march through
Georgia" The shrill rebel yell thai
sounded defiance to Sherman and his
conquering host bade the contributing
editor welcome from Chattanooga to
Rome.
Georgia hospitality did itself proud,
and at small towns along the route of
u G colonel's special train, even before
dawn, groups gathered to cheer as he
passed.
Upon his arrival here the colonel
was greeted by good sized crowd
despite the early hour of his arrival.
The condition of his throat, strained
by me speechmaking of the past two
months, forced him to refuse to speak,
however, and he hurried at once to
the Berry School for Girls. where he
made short talk. A brief speech to
the townspeople made on his way back

in home country" His mother was a
member of the widely known Bullock
family of western Georgia and the
Roosevelt family is well known in this
part of Dixie. Several "old Inhabi.
tants" talked TO the colonel during his
stay here, and discussed his family
history with him.
With his mind on his coming cam
paign in Indiana for Senator Bever.

to preserve his voice. 1t Is generally
