Sheeh Ua '°' day and sa " Messrs,

Da'id B. Hill, who was also a caller.
After these gentlemen had been in
conference for some time, the an
nouncement was made that Senator
Rayner would take an active part in
he national campaign and would
speak in New York on Tuesday of
next week. In an interview Mr. Ray
ner said:
75 e people in the Southern states
propose to discuss the race question
from a conservative standpoint. The
South was solving this problem until
the President undertook his disastrous
policy, which is absolutely injurious to
the interests of every Southern com
monwealth. He has brought this issue
upon himself and the question may be
plainly submitted to the people of the
North and they will give it their at
tention, because the Southern states
furnish two-thirds of a sufficient num
ber of votes in the Electoral College to
decide the election.”
THE LETTER WAS ONLY
AN IMAGINARY ONE.
Great Commotion Over a Little Tea
pot Tempest.
New York, Sept. 28.—The letter al
leged to have been received by Michael
J. Donnelly, the leader of the meat
strike, purporting to be one sent by
President Roosevelt, was copied from
an editorial in the New York Even
ing Post of Aug. 1. The Evening Post
says to-day:
"The letter appeared as an editorial
in the Evening Post on Aug 1, and was
explicitly stated to be a letter which
the President MIGHT have written
with advantage to himself and the
country.
“In other words, it was confessedly
an imaginary letter, written for the
sake of bringing out certain truths in
regard to the meat strike.”
The Evening Post also says:
"We' had no thought, of course, of
being able to make even a presentable
imitation of the President’s literary
style; and as the article was at the
time commented upon and reproduced
somewhat extensively in the press, we
never dreamed of its ever coming to
figure as a ‘campaign forgery.' ”
Chicago, Sept. 28. —President Michael
Donnelly, of the Amalgamated Meat
Cutters’ and Butchers’ Union, flatly
denied to-day ever having received a
letter purporting to come from Presi
dent Roosevelt.

BUG NOT THE WEEVIL.

Covington, Ga., Sept. 28—The sup
posed boll weevil discovered on a plan
tation in the eastern part of the
county several days ago, upon com
parison with the real Mexican boll wee
vil, specimens of which were sent here
this afternoon by the State Entomologi
cal Department, proves to be an en
tirely different insect, being of a dif
ferent color and very much ftuger than
the Mexican weevil. There are, how
ever, serious apprehensions that it may
prove to be as destructive as the Mexi
can species.
A number of the insects have been
forwarded to State Entomologist Newell
for examination.

Chinese arriving at Che Foo re
port that Japanese attacks on Port
Arthur have resulted in heavy
losses to the assailing forces, while
the Russians suffered comparative
ly little.
Che Foo, Sept. 28. 1:30 p. m.—Rus
sians residing here claim to have re
ceived information that the Japanese
losses in the last assault on Port Ar
thur, which begun Sept. 19, were 7,000.
A Chinese who left the fortress on
Sept. 26 says that the Russian losses
were between 600 and 600.
This Chinaman says that the Japa
nese were unable to remain in the
three supplementary forts which they
captured and that they retired at 4
o’clock on the afternoon of Sept. 26,
after enduring several days of tre
mendous firing from the inner forts.
He adds that the Russians attempted
to bury the dead on both sides at
night, because the decomposing bodies
seriously menaced the health of the
garrison. The Russians allege that it
Is the deliberate policy of the Japa
nese 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.
One Chinese, who was a member of
a burial party, says that the Japanese
fired when he and other Chinese at
tempted to bury the dead. He adds
that when the wind carries the odors
toward the Japanese, the latter retire.
Chinese say that the most severe at
tacks were made on the supplementary
'orts of the Itz and Anshu mountain
forts. The Russians had undermined
the ground and several hundred Japa
nese were blown up on Sept. 23. Re
ports received from the Miaotao Islands
mention a terrific report which shook
the houses there on that date.
The Russian ships, say* the report,
took no part In the battle. From thirty

JAPANESE REPULSED
IN MANY SKIRMISHES.
So Gen. Knroiintkin Reports to St.
Peters bu rg.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 28.—A dispatch
received from Gen. Kuropatkin dated
yesterday afternoon announces that
numerous skirmishes have occurred
along most parts of the Russian
front.
The Japanese have not altered their
positions east of the railroad and con
fine themselves to outpost attacks to
the north, all of which so far have
been repulsed.
Reconnaissance's by the Russian
troops have established the fact that
the main Japanese forces are still
along the branch railroad to the Yen
tai mines. Both sides are in constant
contact. Gen. Samsonoffs troops
particularly have had frequent en
counters, but have sustained very few
casualties. The Russians have cap
tured some Japanese cattle and
horses.
The Japanese have constructed pon
toon bridges over the Taitse river at
Bentsahu.
The general adds:
“On the night of Sept. 26 Cornet
Mikheiff, with a. detachment of Ural
Cossacks, attacked the Japanese,
bivouacked at Khouandi, causing a
great panic. The same day the Oren
burg Cossacks laid an ambush for half
a sqaudron of Japanese cavalry, who
returned their fire but soon retired,
having sustained considerable loss and
leaving several dead on the field.”
MORE MONEY AND MEN
ARE WANTED BY JAPAN.
Will Borrow the Money and Get
Men by Conscription.
Toklo, Sept. 28, 5 p. m.—The govern
ment has decided to float another do
mestic loan of $40,000,009 on conditions
simitar to the last. The issue price
will be 92 and the interest 5 per cent.
Business conditions indicate a heavy
subscription.
It is probable that the conscription
law will be amended. Increasing the
service in the reserve five years and
making the regular reserve service to
tal seventeen years and five months.
This means a large increase in the
strength of the army.
SAY NOTHING ABOUT
FLANKING MOVEMENTS.
.lapaneae Seem hot to Be Quite
Ready for the Advance.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 28, 6:15 p. m.—
The latest official advices from the
front are silent on the subject of the
Japanase flanking movements east
and west of Mukden, from which the
War Office concludes that Field Mar
shal Oyama has not yet begun to press
his advance from Slanchan, or up the
Liao river valley, indicating that there
is still further delay in the general ad
vance.
The Associated Press is now author
ized to definitely deny the statement
that the Japanese in any force have
crossed the Hun river about fifty miles
from Mukden. There is no evidence
that the Japanese turning movement
Is nearly so extended. The only Jap
anese at this point are the scouts re
ported In these dispatches Sept. 26.
The only information received from
Gen. Kuropatkin, timed 3 p. m. yes
terday, Is to the effect that the Jap
anese outposts east of the railroad,
along the Bhakhe river, continue to
throw out small detachments, but they

Chicago, Sept. 28.—Fifty boy pickets
stationed about the McAllister public
school here prevented pupils from en
tering to-day. None of the pickets Is
more than 15 years of age.
Outside the picket cordon a crowd
of 700 boys and girls hooted and yelled,
all the teachers looking from the school
.windows.
Every young striker wore a badge
to show that he or she belonged to
a “union.” Many of the strikers car
ried clubs. They threatened violence
against any child daring to enter the
school yard.
The picketing was the result of a
"strike,” which was caused by a mis
taken belief of the children that an
assistant kindergarten teacher was
colored. The strike was settled by a
detail of police.

Nautical Preparatory School of this
city. The appointment was made on
the ground that the corporation is in
solvent. No statement of assets or
liabilities was available to-day.
Seeber Edwards of this city, attor
ney for the company, said that the
trouble was due to a failure to se
cure the enrollment of a sufficient num

possible, parents having refused to
permit their sons to go to sea after
the General Slocum and the steam

Republicans Start the Cuinpalgn
With Hevcrl'lwc n, the Speaker.
Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 28. —The
first Republican meeting of the cam
paign at Indianapolis was held in
Tomlinson Hall to-night. Congress
man Overstreet presided and in a'
brief address introduced Senator Bev
eridge, who said among other things:
“Eighteen ninety-six was no more a
time for silence and hiding than 1861
was a time for cowardice and evasion.
It was not only a political struggle,
but on both sides it was a moral
struggle. On both sides men who had
for years trimmed and compromised
threw aside expediency and spoke and
acted on principles. Was Grover
Cleveland silent then? Did he by his
vote condone what he declared with
his voice would be a crime? Was Sen
ator Teller and the band of lifelong
Republicans who marched out of the
St. Louis Convention silent then? Did
they condone, by their votes, what
their tongues proclaimed would be a
crime? Was John M. Palmer and Gen.
Buckner and the host of Gold Demo
crats silent then?
“Thousands of lifelong Republicans
left their parly: thousands of lifelong
Democrats left their party. Among 80,-
000,000 of people there was anew align
ment. hundreds of thousands chang
ing sides and all because of a princi
ple which they believed would deter
mine the future of the republic; yet,
at this hour, when men were destroy
ing their political future for principle's
sake, in this hour, made heroic by de
votion to beliefs on both sides —Alton
B. Parker was silent, but he voted for
free silver. Is that the kind of a man
in whom Gold Democrats can now find
the leader of a cause. Is that the kind
of a man in whom Silver Democrats
can now find the leader of a cause?”
BOIIUETS AT ROOSEVELT
Are Gracefully Tossed by Hl* Han
ning Mate.
Helena, Mont.. Sept. 28.—1n his prin
cipal speech here to-night Senator
Fairbanks discussed at some length
the charges of corruption made against
the Republican party. He refrained
carefully from 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,
Mr. Fairbanks said:
“He has enforced the laws. He has
driven corruption out of public places.
He set to work a corps of inspectors
in the great Postoffice Department, one
of the greatest pieces of official
mechanism in the world. Thousands
are employed In it, yes, tens of thous
ands. Is it at all to be wondered at
that now and then among this vast
army there should be one who should
forget his duty to his government and
go wrong? Is it to be wondered at?
The President undertook to find out
whether someone was betraying his
trust, and he made discoveries—not
many, but a few, comparatively. Who
were the offenders? Some Republi
cans, some Democrats. What did he
do? Did he undertake to conceal the
result of the investigation from the
knowledge of men? No. He brought
the evil-doers to the bar of justice.
The Department of Justice prosecuted
them anil' in many cases the guilty
are wearing the stripes of their guilt.
“Those who talk of corruption in the
administration must bear in mind. If
they be just, that there is no man liv
ing with a higher conception of civic
duty, with a more exalted Ideal of of
ficial responsibility than Theodore
Roosevelt, President of the United
States. He has no sympathy for
wrong-doers, because he is a right
doer himself. Glean himself, he wishes
all men in public service to be like
wise clean.
"The continuance of President Roose
velt’s administration means a contin
uance of rigid, searching scrutiny of
all of the offices of the government
and the certain condemnation and
punishment of evil-doers, no matter
how low or how exalted they be.”

RACE QUESTION UP.
Hooker Washington Favors Separa
tion of the Harrs.
New York, Sept. 28.—Before an au
dience that filled St. Thomas Protest
ant Episcopal Church, and in the pres
ence of Booker T. Washington, to
night, the Rev. Dr. Strange, Bishop
Coadjutor-elect of the diocese of South
Carolina, declared that the one set fac
tor in any real and practical solution
■of the negro problem was the entire
separation of the races in social, scho
lastic, religious and domestic affairs.
When Washington arose to speak he
virtually agreed with the Bishop by
saying the problem could not be set
tled by amalgamation or by the depor
tation of the negroes, but by earnest
sympathy and co-operation of the
races, although his chief argument
was for Increased facilities for educa
tion and encouragement for those of
his people in the South.
Bishop Coadjutor Greer presided over
the meeting and said the question was
one to be solved only by Christian
standards. He then introduced Dr.
Strange, whose topic was, ’’The Re
sponsibilities of American Christian
Civilization to the Negro Race.”
“We are brothers in ail the best
feelings, and we whites of the South
feel our responsibilities for the black
man and are doing the best we can
for him,” said Dr. Strange. “We ask
you that when anything happens down
there that merits condemnation to con
demn that specific thing and not the
whole South, and to set your faces res
olutely against any outside political
Interference in the question, which
raises false hopes In the blacks, irri
tates the whites and arrays race
against race.
“The whites of the South must see
to it that there is a complete separa
tion of the isces in schools, In churches
and In domestic life. That Is the one
fixed factor. It is best for the whites
and blacks and best for human prog
ress. That being settled absolutely so
as not to give the miserable machine
politician a chance to sound his slo
gan, the whites must give the negroes
all rights, privileges and equalities be
fore tha ballot box and elsewhere.”

tion* of Roman Catholic priests from
distant sections of the country having
arrived since the opening of,the third
Eucharistic Congress of the United
States, there was a still larger assem
blage to-day than yesterday at the
solemn pontifical mass, celebrated at
Ht. Patrick's cathedral by the Rt. Rev.
Camlllus P. Mae*. D. D., Bishop of
Covington, Ky., who presided over the
sessions of the congress.
Bishop Maes appointed a committee
to draw up resolutions denouncing the
French government for its action to
wards the Catholic orders. The mem
bers of the I'omniittee are Archbishops
Farley and Kyan, Bishops Ludden and
Tierney and Mgr. Joseph F. Mooney,
vicar general of New York.
Father Dougherty asked that copies
of the resolutions be ordered aent to
the President of Ih# United States, and
the Governor of the state of New York.
When this suggestion was made Arch
bishop Farley said:
"I think that would be going too far
and mingling up things. The Catholic
Church does not belong to the Presi
dent cf the United States or the Gov
ernor of th# stale of New York. It
belongs to the Holy See."
