PARKER WONT
GO TO ST. LOO IS
Upon Advice of Campaign
Managers He Has De-
cided to Remain at
Rosemonnt.
WILL MAKE NO SPEECHES
Report of Bill’s Speech in Which
He Declares Roosevelt a
Fraud is Declared
Inaccurate.
WAS RESULT OF A MISTAKE
Esopus, N. V., Sept. 2.—There was
much surprise at Rosemonnt tonight
when a correction was made of the
stament that Judge Alton B. Parker
and wife had completed their arrange-
ments for the St. Louis trip. It is an-
nounced that Mr. Parker had changed
h'ls mind in regard to the trip and In
all probability will not leave Rose-
mount again during the campaign. It
is understood that good reasons wore
presented to Mr. Parker in argument
against the proposed trip and that the
abandonment of the program is the
result. So far as is known Judge Par-
ker will make no speeijhes during the
campaign.
William Ilryan of the Devery asso-
ciation in New York, and Capt. Chas.
Campbell, a retired captain, called at
Rosemonnt today ostensibly to ask
Judge Parker to make clear in his let-
ter of acceptance the plank in the.
democratic platform In regard to ma-
rine commerce. Captain Campbell
said that shipowners are not in favor
of the subsidy bill, but that they do
want protection against unfair compe-
tition with foreign bottoms. After talk-
ing skipping at length they brought
up the subject of the governorship for
New York state and suggested that
Congressman William Sulzer is the
beat, equipped to save the party from
the inroads made by the popularity of
Thomas E. Watson, the populist can-
didate for president. Henry Watter-
son spent some time at Rosemount to-
day, talking oyer the campaign with
Mr. Parker. After the conference Mr.
Wattcrson said that he felt confident
of the election of Judge Parker. He
had gone through seven campaigns
and thought he knew whereof he
spoke. He said the Independent voter
probably would decide the election,
and that the independent voters were
going to Judge Parker every day. He
added:
“I was in seven consecutive conven-
tions and feel that I have done my
part. I was asked to make an address
next Wednesday night to the demo-
cratic editors which are to meet in
New York, and I have accepted. Of
course It is probable that I may talk
some politics at that time. I have
found that I can talk best about cur-
rent. topics. The morning papers
give me plenty of subject, matter as a
rule. On this occasion l have decided
to speak from the subject. 'If I Were
a Republican.' My talk will not be a
discussion of the issues to any great
extent. It will come nearer being a
philosophy of politics based on the
present conflict. If I were a repub-
lican now I would vote for Parker,
and in my address I will tell why I
would vote for him.”
Mr. Watterson had never met Judge
Parker, though Judge Parker knows
Mr. Wattcrson. In 1880 Judge Parker
listened to the Kentucky editor when
he made a vehement denunciation of
the New York delegation to the dem-
ocratic national convention at Cincin-
nati.
close affiliation of the Gould system
with the Union pacific line and sus-
pension if not abandonment of cer-
tain Gould plans for extending the
Missouri Pacific to the Pacific coast.
Harrtman and Gould have settled
important points of this alliance
while abroad, and there is also au-
thoritative statement that the alliance
has -the cordial approval of W. K.
Vanderbilt, who is, in a measure, in-
terested because of his dominant in-
fluence in the Chicago & Northwest-
ern, which is the chief eastern outlet
from Omaha of the Union Pacific sys-
tem.
W. K. Vanderbilt and E. H. Harri-
man are personal friends and Wall
street has believed for several months
past that a good-sized block of Union
Pacific stock lias found its way Into
Vanderbilt's strong box. Should the
pending Northern Securities litigation,
result In giving Harriman control of
the Northern Pacific railroad the new
alliance will have a potent vote In the
management of the 8,220 miles in the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy lines of
which the Northern Pacific Railroad
company owns one-half.
Report of H Ill’s
Speech Inaccurate.
New York, Sept. 2—An investigation
by the Associated Press discloses the
fact that a number of serious errors
were made in the report of Senator D.
B. Hill's speech at Deposit. N. Y., on
August 25th. It seems that a reporter
of a local democratic paper, upon
whom the Associated Press depended
for a report, failed to attend the
meeting, but instead invented a
speech for Senator Hill which con-
tained several statements wholly mis-
representing the senator's views and
(luite at a variance with his utter
ances. Among the phrases thus in-
serted as part of the speech was one
to the effect that Senator Hilt had
charged President Roosevelt with be
ing a “fraud." Senator Hill said
nothing of the kind. This correction
is made without the knowledge of Mr.
Hill or any of bis friends but in the
Interest of the accuracy ot the Asso-
ciated Press service.
HARRIMAN-GOULD ALLIANCE.
Believed to Be Definite Agreement to
Observe Harmony.
New York. Aug. 30.—It Is said that
E H. Harriman and George J. Gould
have made a friendly alliance which
will have practically the same effect
on the railroad situation west of the
Mississippi river that the Vanderbilt
and Pennsylvania railroad alliance
has exercised for the past five years
in the eastern trunk line territory.
This alliance Is believed to be In
the form of a definite personal agree-
ment to preserve harmony between
the Harriman and Gould lines, to
maintain stable rates so far as their
influence extends and to conduct no
aggressive operations in each other's
territory.
The last mentioned understanding
Is regarded as being particularly sig-
nificant and important. It means a
SNAKE CHARMER’S DEATH.
Commits Suicide By Allowing a Big
Rattlesnake to Bite Him.
Buffalo, Aug. 30—Alfred Thurston,
a snake, frog and glass eater out of a
iob, appeared in the barroom of the
New York house in Niagara Falls this
morning. He had a huge diamond
backed rattlesnake with him in a box.
Ho took out the snake and placed his
head in hts mouth.
The snake bit him on the tongue
and the man died seven hours later In
terrible agony. Surgeons could do
nothing for him. It was supposed at
first by the police that the fellow did
the rash trick on a barroom bet, but
the'men who were present declare the
act was a deliberate suicide. Thurs
ton's home was in New York.
JAPANESE REJOICING MAY

THE GREATEST BATTLE REMAINS YET TO BE
FOUGHT AT LIAO YANG.
It is Thought That Oyma’s Forces Will- Cross the Tnitse River This Morning ami
Attack the Russians in Their Last Position, Which They Assumed on Retreating

Credit Either the Russian Nor the Japanese Versions of the Battle.

0PEN8 CAMPAIGN.
FAIRBANKS SPEAKS IN
CITY, MO.
KANSAS
Day Was Notable Because of the
Presence of a Number of Prominent
Politicians—Fairbanks as. a Presi-
dential Possibility.
Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 2.—Senator
Fairbanks formal!^ opened the repub-
lican campaign in Missouri tonight.
The ceremony took place in the con-
vention hall and that immense bulbi-
ng was filled in honor of the occasion.
The event was rendered memorable
by the presence not onlv of the repub-
lican candidate for vice president, but
by the presence of manv Missouri re-
publican leaders. Including candidates
for most of the state and local offices.
The dav was devoted by the senator
to meeting personal and political
friends and to a visit to Kansas City,
Kan., where he made a brief address.
For an hour or more in the afternoon
he stood (ji the parlors of the Midland
hotel and shook hands with citizens
who presented themselves, among
(hem being manv former residents of
Indiana. At a meeting in Kansas
City. Kan., reference was again made
to Senator Fairbanks' availability as
a presidential candidate It eanuj
from State Senator Cubblson, who
presided over the meeting and was in
the following terms:
“If President McKinlev had lived
Senator Fairbanks almost certainly
would have been the presidential
nominee at this time, but under the
circumstances all we can do for him
now Is to elect him to the vice presi-
dency and then nominate and elect
him president fopr years hence.”
DEMOCRATS GAINING IN MAINE.
Hope to Cut Down Republican Plu-
rality In September.
Portland, Maine, Aug. 30.—Demo-
cratic managers state-today that they
have been making large gains in the
pine tree state and that they expect
to reduce the republican majority for
governor in this state to 1,500 if not
lower, in the election which will take
place September 13th.
The fight up to the present time has
consisted of an attack upon the repub-
lican state administration of the past
few years, the chief charge against
the republicans being excessive ex-
penditures and the taxation
Both parties have imported their
most powerful speakers for the final
rounds of the contest. Among the
democratic speaker* this week will be
Congressman Bourke Cochran and
Charles S. Hamlin
Senator Fairbanks. Secretary Taft.
Senator Lodge and Attorney Genera!
Moody will assist their republican
brethren.
A democratic victory or a reduction
of the republican plurality iB expected
to have a grqat moral effect on the
other New England states, particularly
Massachusetts, which seems to have a
fair chance of going democratic.
The lack of definite information
from the. seat of war continues up to
Saturday morning and nothing further
regarding the situation at Liao Yang
is known beyond the fact that Kuro-
patkin has withdrawn the main por-
tion of his force to the north or right
hank of the Taitse river and that, ac-
cording to the latest advices, the ac-
tion is still in progress.
There is a disinclination in St. Pet-
ersburg to believe that Liao Yang has
been abandoned and at the same time
it is declared that the ixisitlun Kuro-
patkln now occupies, is one he had
prepared ami forfeited and where he
has all along planned to make his
second stand instead of directly in and
around Liao Yang wilh the river at
his hack, as had been believed. It Is
thought by Russian experts that In
attacking Kuropatkin’s present de-
fenses the Japattose pro facing an al-
most impossible task, especially with
their forces divided by the river. f
Advices reaching ^Tokio say that
the Taitse Is flooded and cannot be
forded, and therefore as pointed out in
the Associated Press dispatches from
St. Petersburg “the river Itself be-
comes an Important, factor in the gen-
eral scheme of the Russian defense."
Dispatches from both Russian and
Japanese sources state troops on both
sides are jaded and weary after many
days lighting and it is pointed out
that in consequence a temporary lull
In the active struggle would not be
surprising.
A dispatch received at Toklo says
that great fires are raging ul Liao
Yang, “believed to result from the
Japanese shelling or from the efforts
or the Russians to destroy their stores
preparatory to the evacuation of Liao
Yang with the additional hope of in-
juring the city as future Japanese
base.”
The opinion prevails in Toklo that
the Russian casualties in the recent
fighting will reach thirty thousand,
while the Russian losses of August
31st and September 1st. are given in
official reports as 5,000 killed or
wounded.
The report from Marshall Oyama
that ho was engaged on Thursday with
the Russian center would indicate that
at least a portion of Ktiropatkin's
army was still on the south bank of
the Taitse fiver. It Is not yet def-
initely announced that the Japanese
have occupied Liao Yang.
Toklo, Sept. 3—(10:80 a. rn.>—11 is
expected that the main strength of
Field Marshal Oyama's forces to the
southward wi^l succeed this morning
in crossing the Taitse river. General
Kurokl yesterday captured a portion
of the heights commanding lid
Yiugtai and it is hoped that lie will
dominate the railway today. The
Russlsns appear to tie gathering at
Yental colliery northeast of LiaY) Yang
English Analysis
of the Situation. '
London, Sept. 3—English military
authorities nelth -r share Toklo * jubi-
lation over the result at Liao Yang
nor lay stress o n’t he advantage which
the Russian dispatches attribute to
Kuropatkin's latest move. The best
Informed observers who have necess
to the sources of Information not re-
vealed in the dispatches from Toklo
and not given out at St. Petersburg
declare that the battle of Liao Yang
however dramatic and historic In the
losses in life and .tragic Incidents, can
have no serious bearing on tin event-
ual issue unless the Japanese have
surrounded Kuropatkin.
The Ixindon daily newspaper* in
their headlines depict the condition*
at Liao Yang a* “Russian rout,” “De
feat,” or "Debacle.” Their editorials
In more careful vein, point out that
the latest dispatches leave the Issue
of the “Greatest battle of this genera
tion" still in doubt.
From an expert British point of
view, Marquis Oyama's sacrifices will
have been in vain unless he is able to
cut off Kuropatkin from Mukden, On
this point there are chaotic hypothe
ties.
The Daily Graphic says:
“We are In the dark as to the final
outcome,” adding that it seems not
unlikely that Kuropatkin may still
manage to carry a fighting force with
him to Mukden.
Other critics doubt whether the
Japanese in face of “Indomitable Rus-
sian pluck." arc strong enough to
press home the preliminary successes
already won
The Morning Post concludes a care-
ful survey of the four days' fighting
with tli? opinion that the battle of
Liao Yang will take its place beside
that of Waterloo, and believes that
"whether or not Kuropatkin' force is
aide to continue its retreat it will be
broken and useless for some time to
come."
The Russian view that General
Kuropatpin, by crossing the river, di-
vided the opposing forces meets with
slight consideration, as it is pointed
(tut that all the Japanese units can
not attack simultaneously from differ
out directions, which eliminates any
advantage to the Roushn side and
really aggravates the seriousness of
their position, the Japanese force be
ing superior in numbers
Tiio suspense with which develop
merits at Liao Yang are awaited could
be scarcely greater In Toklo than it is
ill London. Tho Daily Telegraph,
which bailed the initial successes at
Liao Yang with a degree of finality
now admits that "It is nut inconcelv
able that Kuropatkin may extricate a
portion of ,ils force*,” though tills is
characterized as a supreme effort of
a forlorn hope,
The Daily Telegraph continues:
"One of the moat exciting problems
ever known In war has been narrowed
down to one point, namely, whether
a part of the retreating army will suc-
ceed in tearing through Yental, leav
ing many thousands of men and some
hundreds of guns behind them, or
whether General Kurokl will receive
the ring by hammering blows. Per
haps the seventh day must lie waged
before the issuo can be finally de
dared."
Tie- Dally Telegraph’s military critic
in common with other English ox
peris, sees nothing but the superior
Japanese force and strategy to account
for General Kuropatkin': present po
si tion.
This authority predb i ; an ondeav
or on the part of the Russian lore • t<
reach Chinese territory
The Standard bluntly voices the
thought of many by saying: "Is it re
treat or route?”
The Standard says that General
Kuropatkin in his “precarious condl
tion is not, without Home prospects of
avoiding the signals catastrophe of
surrender en masse’If ho cun still get
away to tlie north Even with a loss
of many guns ami valuable supplies
the success of tie Japanese will be a
good deal modified "
The Times compares the battle of
Liao Yang to those of Wagram, Lelp
zig, Koniggratz and Graveilotla, lint li
says:
"We still have to ioarn whether the
Japanese reaped tie- fruits of victory
in such abundant ire asure as to maki
the Battle the thoroughly declsiv,
turning point of tli war. From the
news thus far available there seenis to
be a strong probability that they will
be able to do so ”
The Times’ Toklo correspondent,
cabling’ Friday, say
“Premature runcra of the fail of
Liao Yang are repeated today, but a
careful analysis of Hie official reports
show that the Ru -iaus have merdv
been driven into their last line of de
fenses where they will probably make
desperate resistance The three Jap-
anese armies are closing around
them.”
The Seoul correspondent of the
Dally Telegraph savsi' The Japanese

tation of Port Arihur, outside the
west gate of Seoul So that win n tin-
fortress falls the In habitants may sec

evening, the gist of which was given
out by the war office ami was cabled
by the Associated Press at 1:50
o'clock Friday afternoon was not made
public Friday night as expected It
was promised to the local press and
was awaited with feverish impatience
until 2 o’clock this morning, when ii
was announced that It would be is-
sued today. All the nows, therefore,
as far us St. Petersburg is concerned,
is contained in telegrams from for
eign sources, and there is painful sum
pense awaiting news from Russian
sources.
Continued and dogged confidence,
in General Kuropatkin Is expressed In
many quarters, and the public general-
ly. as well as many of the military
authorities, absolutely refuse to be-
lieve that Liao Yang lias been abiin
doped, or if ft has been abandoned
that General Kuropatkin Is in better
position to make better stand north
of the Taitse river. There seemed to
be an air of confidence at Polerhof
Friday night. An official who saw the
czar Friday afternoon said that he
was extremely confident. Experts
who are familiar with the nature of
the Intricate and powerful defenses
constructed north of the Taitse river
by General Velitcliko, one of Russia’s
foremost army engineers, believe that
the Japanese are facing almost an Im-
possible task in attacking them, espe
dally with divided forces,
it i* pointed out. that General Kuro-
kl will have to make a considerable
dolour to reunite hi* forces. The
bridge heads abutting on the north
bank of the Taitse river are strongly
defended by entrenched artillery,
While it Is said that thero Is a strong
rear guard still on the south bank to
contest the Jupam -e advance, thus
making the bridges utterly Impractl
cable for u Japanese crossing. The
river i;e.-II. therefore, becomes ail
Important factor In the general scheme
of defense. A temporary lull in file
lighting would not be surprising. The
nu n on both side; have already made
almost superhuman efforts, and there
must soon be a let tip of some sort.
The report that Rear Admiral Ouk-
imusky, now in command of the naval
fora : at Port Arthur, is to lie court
mnrllulei!. lacks confirmation. The
lory possibly originated In the aailii
.sources as the earlier report of ills
deposition, and of his suicide at Port
Arthur.

parently suspicious man standing day
after day near the'shaft house, silent-
ly gazing eastward, whlre the Great
Northern railroad tunnel pierces the
main divide of the Rocky mountains.
Approaching him one day he said:

“Faith, Jack Kane,” answered the
man. “I hove been here ivery day for
the last thirty days watch in' them en-
fines and cars goin' along the trail to-
wards thot bole in the mountain, an’,
be gobs, not wan of thim hove missed
the hole yet.”—Lipplncott's.
He's a handsome fellow, isn’t he?”

“Well, so dims everybody; how can
he help it?"
“Perhaps he can't, but he could help
letting anybody else know that he
knows It.”—Detroit Free Press,
