NEW YORK, Sept. 11.—The visit to
New York of Henry O. Davis, the Dem
ocratic nominee for vice-president, at
this time will he made the occasion of
conference of the Democratic lead*-
w upon the Issues of the campaign.
Senator Oorman of Maryland wll
arrive here tomorrow and William F
Bheehan, chairman of the national ex
ecutive committee, and Cord Meyer,
chairman of the state committee, will
return from their visit to Eaopun,
where they have conferred with Judge
Parker. It Is posslblu that David B.
Hill will come from Albany. James J.
Smith of New Jersey, John R. McLean
of Ohio, James M. Guffey of Pennsyl
vanla, August Belmont and Delancey
Nlcoll of New York and Secretary
Urey Woodson will be present at the
conference.
Mr. Davis planned to come to New
York some time ago and desires to ex
change views with the lenders here,
fienator Gorman has not been In New
York since the first meeting of the ex
ecutlve committee.
It was announced at the time of the
appointment of the executive commit
ted that Senator Gorman would be in
close touch with the campaign and that
the managers would have the benefit
of his advice and counsel. Several
Democrats, among those who urged
that Gorman he made chairman of
the national committee suggested Inst
week that the Maryland senator should
come to New York and that his advice
be sought ns to various features of the
campaign. It has not been determine*
whether Senator Gorman will mnke ai
Indefinite stay In the city. It Is ex
pected that the conference of Demo
rratio leaders will be general and nil
plans of the campaign will be dis
cussed.
Tho first general plan of campaign
wns to devoto September to orgnnlza
tlon and October to active field work,
in the way of speeches and club meet
ings, making It more vigorous from
day to day and the last two weeks tfr
most Important and Intense of all This
plan has been altogether without crit
icism and there has been a deman
from some prominent Democrats that
active work should be commenced at
once, and the people a rousted to the
uaual Interest of n political mnvass
It is expected that this matter Is ono
of tho questions that will be taken up
duTlng tho conference. Democratic
lenders here do not anticipate that any
change of plan will result, as Judge
Parker has known and approved
that has been done. It hns not yet been
determined that Mr. Davta will visit
Judge Parker at this time. It was not
his Intention to go to Ksopus when he
camo to New York, but in case Judg*
Parker desires to consult him, Mr.
Davis will go to Uosemount. Chair
inan Taggart called on Mr. Davis at
the Fifth Avenue hotel today, but the
present situation was not discussed at
ny length. Mr. Taggart was told that
tho Democrats were hopeful In West
Virginia und wero making every effort
to carry the stats: that there were
large pluralities to overcome. Mr. Da
vis told other friends who railed that ne
wns quite sanguine of success In West
Virginia. Chairman Taggart will leave

INFORMAL CONFERENCE.
Atlanta Negro Preacher Appeals to
Blacks to Maintain Law
and Order.
ATLANTA. HepL 11.—Rev. H. H.
octor, a prominent negro minister
this city, discussed mob violence
nd "before day" clubs In his sermon
ht. Referring to the Statesboro
flfalr he said:
r'ith regard to the -Statesboro
;>ly we feel a sense of shame over
crime that led up to it. and a
e of injustice over the treatment
condemned men received. We
pray that the outcome of the investi
gation may preserve the honor of the
tte and that public sentiment shall
so shaped that the recurrence of
•ho things ahull be prevented.”
Appealing to the members of hls
ce to maintain law and ordef, be
said:
ever despair. Our race Is under
going persecution, but right here In
the South we have many friends who
have never bowed the knee to Baal,
must maintain law and order. To
break the righteous law of the state
Is to break the law of God. No mat
ter how sorely we may be tempted we
should never resort to mob violence.
Mob violence Is anarchy. I cannot be
lieve there fa any extended movement
amongst this race In what hns been
called "before day" clubs, movements
organized for lawlessness. If there
Is we urge those uniting in such
movements to abstain from that any
every other form of violence."

No Abatement In Retreat.
LONDON, Sept. 12.—The Dally
Mali's Slnmlntln correspondent, ca
bling under date of September 11,
says:.
“General Kuropatkln has returned to
Mukden after. Inspecting the fortifica
tions at Tie Pass, work on which Is
not well advanced, but which Is be
ing hurried along. At the same time
dangerous' and costly efforts to delay
the Japanese advance are being made.
I learn from a Russian sourco that
this is the outcome of the emperor’B
orders, and that the emperor even
peremptorily commanded Kuropntkln
to retake Liao Yang. There is no
abatement In the retrent of the Rus
sians troops northward. The noise of
a fierce artillery engagement waa

repeated Russian attempts to cut In
between Kurokl and Nodzu. In truth,
matters were serious all around the
twenty-four hours nnd only Oku’s
magnificent assaults saved the situa
tion nnd prevented Kurokl from hav

fear that the losses to both the Rus
sians nnd the Japanese are near thir
ty thousand men each."

Operations Against Lfao Yang.
LONDON. Sept. 12.—The Morning
Post's correspondent In the field with
General Kurokl described the opera
tions against Liao Yang as twelve
days of the hardest possible fighting
and marching on short rations, with a
temperature of 100 degrees In the
shade and frequent falls of rain. All
of this, he says, waa borne splendidly,
though the men were worn out after
the tense struggle. General Kuropat-
kln's retreaL he says, was masterly.
He held the northeastern heights to
the last possible moment and secured
n sgfe retirement for hls army and hls
guns.
Bennett Burleigh sends to the Dally
Telegraph from the Japanese head
quarters a long description of the
fighting. He says: "General Kurokl,
who was hotly attacked by Kuropat
kln And was for a time In Jeopardy,
was unable to get astride the railway,
otherwise Liao Yang would*bave been
& Sedan for the Russians. What sur
prised me more than anything else
was the wonderful manner In which
the Japanese continued for a whole
week their awful bombardment of the
Russian positions. It waa the fiercest
artillery attack, perhaps, In history. It
must be said for the Japanese tbaL
although they fight with the utmost
fierceness, daring and courage, they
battle, not like madmen, but with their
heads, and they obey the officers In
all straits.
The Muscovites presented a most
dejected appearance In the retreaL The
men are of good material, but the of
ficers lack many necessary qualities.
The war is most unpopular with all the
Russian soldiers. In Japan it is Just the
reverse. I learn that the Russians have
heavily fortified their lines upon the
river and town, forty miles north of
Mukden where they Intend making a
desperate stand. Undoubtedly the Jap
anese intend taking Mukden, probably
within three weeks. They already are

building on Third avenue, wns wrecked
by nn explosion just before 1 o'clock

money, you take care of yourself.”

Cured of Bright’)* Disease.
Geo. A. Sherman. Lisbon Red Mills.
Lawrence Co., N. Y.. writes: “I had
kidney disease for many years and had
beer, treated by physlcans for twelve
years; had taken a well known kidney
medicine and other remedies that were
recommended, but got no relief until I
began using Foley's Kidney Cure. The
half bottle relieved ine and four
bottles have cured me of this terrible
disease. Before I began taking Fo
ley’s Kidney Cure I had to make water
about every fifteen minutes, day and
night, and passed a brick-dust sub
stance, ofd sometimes a slimy sub
stance. I believe I would have died If
I had not taken Foley's Kidney Cure."
