vailed among the officers of the Baltic
fleet; and in that dase, it is suggested,
the Russian government should find no
difficulty in removing and punishing the
officers responsible.
The newspapers this morning evince
more heat and impatience than here
tofore at Russia’s delay, which is con
sidered absolutely indefensible in the
present circumstances.
GREAT ANXIETY IS FELT
AT RUSSIAN CAPITAL
Difficult to Comprehend the Delay
of RojextveiiKky.
St. Petersburg. Oct. 27, 3; 30 a. m.—
An official of the admiralty stated to
the Associated Press at 1:30 o’clock
this morning that no word had yet
been received from Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky. The official continued:
“The delay in getting the Russian
version of the North sea affair is
proving exceedingly embarrassing to
this government. It is felt that, in
the inflamed state of British public
opinion, the inexplicable absence of
any official report is becoming a most
serious factor and renders still more
difficult an already delicate situation. ’
While the good faith of the Rus
sian government in its efforts to probe
the affair is not questioned, it is ev
ident from renewed British inquiries
at the Foreign Office and admiralty
on Wednesday that while no time
limit for a response to the British
note has been fixed. King Edward's
government is neither in a humor nor
a position to brook unreasonable de
lay. It is realized here that each
day’s delay will render the temper of
the people of both countries more un
certain.
The hope is expressed at the admiral
ty that the report may be received to
day. The possibility, of course, re
mains that the information of the As
sociated Press yesterday afternoon
may be correct, that the report is al
ready in the hands of the Emperor; but
if so the delay in transmitting it to
the admiralty is inexpticable, assur
ances having been extended to the
British embassy that there should not
bo the slightest delay in communicat
ing the-report when it was received.
One danger of complications discuss
ed here lies in the possibility that
Great Britain may deem it necessary
to dispatch warships to warn and pro
tect British trawlers off the Spanish
coast. On the other hand, if the na
ture of Rojestvensky's report renders
the recall of the Baltic squadron im
perative, it will weigh greatly in Ja
pan’s favor and have a serious bear
ing on the future course of the war in
the Far East.
ANSWER OF RUSSIA
DOES NOT PLEASE THEM.
English Not Satisfied With the Par
tial Heply.
London, Oct. 26, 5:52 p. m.—Foreign
Secretary Lansdowne considers that
Russia's reply in its present form is
incomplete, especially in the failure to
grant Great Britain's demand for the
punishment in principle of such officers
as might be found responsible.
Lord Lansdowne said late this after
noon, however, that he trusted the
matter would be settled within twen
ty-four hours.
In interviews at the Foreign Office
with the toreign ambassadors, this be
ing the regular reception day, Lord
Lansdowne, though in no degree pes
simistic regarding the eventual out
come, gave his callers clearly to under
stand that he did not regard Ambas
sador Benkendorff's letter as altogether
satisfactory, and that it was distinct
ly incomplete.
It was gathered that Lord Lansdowne
has insisted that in the written reply
to be handed to Ambassador Hardinge
by Foreign Minister Lamsdorff. pun
ishment in principle shall be included,
and that though Great Britain is un
able at the present moment to specify
the individuals likely to be found re
sponsible Russia must pledge herself
not only to ascertain who are responsi
ble. but to punish them in the most
severe manner.
Until Admiral Rojentsvensky's report
was received Russia has exhibited re
luctance to give such a pledge, believ
ing that an ample apology, in view of
the lack of all official Information on
their own side, would be sufficient.
One of the ambassadors who visited,
Lord Lansdowne to-day said that not
one of his colleagues believed that a
hostile Issue was possible. The only
conceivable danger was the increasing
bitterness of British public opinion,
which Is being fanned Into feverishness
far more by the announcement of the
precautionary naval preparations than
by the news of the outrage Itself.
SITUATION IS*CNE
OF GREAT TENSION.
Mukden, Oct. 26.—The situation Is
one of great tension for the troops on
both sides. Gen. Kuropntktn and Field
Marshal Oynma seem to be watching
"aeh other like hawks. It Is Impos
sible to tell which will make the first
serious move.
There are occasional exchanges of
desultory firing at tlie outposts, but i
nothing of great importance has trans
pired. On Sunday night the Japanese
made a feeble attempt upon Lone Tree
*> ut the attack was not pressed,
ine Russians used several siege guns
ot great range on Monday, bombard
jng the Japanese positions near Shakhe.
Japanese replied with Shimese
shells. The Chinese say the Russian
nre destroyed three Japanese field
pieces.
The Japanese Wave evacuated Shakhe
Railroad station, but it and the rail
brjdgre between the lines are in
the field of fire on both sides.
Although it is reported that there ts
m act ; ivity on lhe Russian left flank,
little is really known concerning the
situation there. A Japanese movement
trom the west 'along the railroad is re
ported, but this has not been confirm
ed. The general state of uncertainty
breeds many rumors. On Monday a
quite heavy artillery fire was heard
westward.
ARTILLERY FIRE WAS
MAINTAINED ALL DAY.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 26.—Gen. Kuro
patkin telegraphs that there was no
fighting of importance, Oct. 25. He
adds:
"A desultory artillery fire was main
tained all (fay long upon the front of
our right flank by both the enemy
and ourselves.
“On the night of Oet. 24* Russian
volunteer sharpshooters ambushed ad
vancing Japanese outposts and forced
them to retire southward. Another de
tachment recovered a Russian gun car
nage.
“On the Russfan center a detachment
drove back the Japanese advance near
the village of Yautchai, but upon the
appearance of strong Japanese rein
forcements the detachment returned to
the village of Shakhe after burying the
bodies of several Russians killed dur
ing previous fights and collecting large
quantities of arms and ammunition.”
RUSSIAN CAVALRY
DROVE OUTPOSTS BACK.
Gen. Oku’s Headquarters, Monday,
Oct. 24. 4 p. m., via Fusan, Oct. 24.
The position of the opposing armies is
unchanged. Yesterday Russian cav
alry drove back a Japanese outpost on
the extreme left, in turn retiring be
fore a detachment of Japanese cav
alry.
Desultory artillery fire continues
daily and sniping goes on between the
infantry in the trenches.
Information regarding the reason for
the delay in making further move
ments is not obtainable.
GLAD KUROPATKIN
WAS APPOINTED.
Mukden, Oct. 26.—The appointment
of Gen. Kuropatkin as commander-in
chief was received with universal ap
proval. It will greatly facilitate the
military operations.
A Japanese attack is now expected
shortly. The Russian batteries con
tinue to harass the Japanese. Other
wise ail is quiet.
The Japanese dead recently found
showed by their warm clothing that
the Japanese are prepared for a win
ter campaign, whereas the Russians
have not received their winter outfits.
THE HOSTILEARMIES
ARE IN CLOSE TOUCH.
Yentai Coal Mines, Tuesday, Oct. 25,
via Fusan, Oct. 26.—The two armies
remain confronting each other at close
range along the entire lines. Both
forces are working hard at the con
struction of strong entrenchments.
On the Japanese left the artillery is
exchanging bombardments. Maj. Prince
Carl Alton Von Hohenzollern, the rep
resentative of the German Emperor
with the Japanese army, has arrived at
Liao Yang, and will soon visit the
front.
Hurrassed by Sharpshooters.
St. Petersburg, Oot. 26.—Gen. Sak
haroff telegraphs that there was no
general fighting during the night of
Oct. 25-26, but the Russian sharpshoot
ers harassed the Japanese during the
night along the whole front.
ENGLAND WANTS THE
DARDANELLES CLOSED.
London, Oct. 26.—The Associated
Press learns that while there is no
foundation for the rumor which re
cently emanated from Constantinople
that the Russian government is ap
proaching the Sultan with the view of
obtaining his consent to the passing
of the Black sea fleet through the
Dardanelles, Russia is actually taking
steps to sound the other continental
governments as to whether any objec
tions will be raised by them in the
event of a formal request being pre

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not
a drug at all, but simply absorbs
the gases and impurities always pre
sent in the stomach and Intestines and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and im
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the
best charcoal and the most for the
money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozen
ges they are composed of the finest
powdered Willow charcoal, and other
harmless antiseptics in tablet form or
rather In the form of large, pleasant
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi
tion of the general health, better com
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood and the beauty of it Is, that
no possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician In speaking of
the benefits of charcoal says: “l ad
vise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in storn
ash and bowels, and to clear the com
plexion and purify the breath, meuth
anil throat; I also believe the liver
Is greatly benefited by the dally use
of them; they cost but twenty-five
cents a box at drug stores, and al
though in some sense a patent prep
aration. yet I believe I get more and
better charcoal In Htnart's Charcoal
Lozenges than in any of the ordinary
charcoal tablets."

PROMINENT MANI'FACTTRER
DROPS DEAD FROM
URAEMIC POISONING.
Without Warning Mr. F. Tiffany Is
Swept Into Eternity by Kid
ney Disease.
Doctors Said It Need Not Have Been
Had He Kept His Kidneys Healthy
by Using Warner's Safe Cure.
In apparent perfect health Mr. Ttf
fany. a well-to-do New England man
ufacturer of knit goods, had been at
tending to his business right along, but
suddenly de dropped dead. The ease
was announced later as an accumula
tion of uric acid in the blood—one of
the last and most fatal stages of kid
ney disease.
Doctors claim that of late years
there has been a startling increase in
kidney troubles, and that one-third of
all deaths results from this cause.
Thousands of men and women are
afflicted and do not realize it is their
kidneys until death is near.
If there is the tiniest quantity of
uric acid in the blood it is an abso
lutely certain sign that your kidneys
are diseased, because it is the duty of
the kidneys to remove this deadly acid
completely from the system, and, of
course, if the kidneys are not healthy
they cannot perform their work prop
erly, and the longer they run without
treatment the worse they become—
kidney disease never cures itself.
Uric acid eats into the tissues and
the diseased parts pass off in the
urine. Therefore, it is very easy for
every one to keep perfect watch over
the kidneys by making the following
SIMPLE URIC ACID TEST.
From time to time let a little morn
ing urine stand in a glass or bottle 24
hours. If it becomes cloudy, a sedi
ment forms, or if minute particles
float around in it, your kidneys have
been diseased for months. At any mo
ment you may be attacked by convul
sions, Bright's disease, blood poison
ing and death, unless you at once ar
rest the inflammation and purify the
kidneys with Warner's Safe Cure,
which is the only remedy that will
safely and effectively restore the kid
neys, liver, bladder and urinary or
gans to their original healthy condi
tion, and keep them in shape to do the
work God has given them to do.
Warner's Safe Cure has been used
for over 30 years by leading physi
cians and in hospitals. It is guaranteed
absolutely free from narcotics, and
cures without any bad after effect.
Make no mistake, there is only one
medicine that will cure you, and it is
Warner's Safe Cure. Sold by all drug

the Dardanelles.
It is obvious that whatever be the
replies of other governments to the

fairs in the Far East for Great Brit
ain to acquiesce in such an arrange
ment.
SIGH OF RELIEF OVER
ALEXIEFF’S DECADENCE.
Believed at St. Petersburg That He
Will lie Recalled.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 26, 12:50 p. m.—
The quiet now prevailing at the thea
ter of war is considered to be only the
calm before a storm. There is every
indication of the imminence of the re
sumption of fighting on a large scale,
as the proximity of the two armies
make It impossible for them to much
longer defer a renewal of the battle.
The correspondents at the front are
strangely silent concerning the corning
developments, but from the slight
movements reported and the continual
reconnoltering of the Japanese posi
tions, tt is regarded as certain that
Gen. Kuropatkin has a perfectly free
hand accorded him by his elevation to
the post of eommander-ln-chtef, and
that he Is about to undertake an offen
sive movement. Field Marshal Oj'aina
is reported to be fortifying his whole
line south of the Shakhe river, show
ing that he is preparing to meet the
Russian onset. Not a ray of light as
yet has been shed upon Kuropatkin's
plans.
Viceroy Alexieff's order of the day,
announcing Kuropatkin’s appointment,
is in the same grandiose vein as Ku
ropatkin's order of Oct. 5, and is re
garded as having definitely established
the authorship of that ill-starred docu
ment. While Alexieff takes particu
lar pains in turning over the supreme
command o? the land forces to Kuro
patkin to inform the soldiers and the
world of the marks of imperial confi
dence reposed In him and to announce
that he will remain as viceroy, the or
der is considered as virtually his fare
well address, and that it will soon be
followed by his return to St. Peters
burg. His elimination as a factor in
the military situation has caused a
sigh of relief.

GREAT CROWD HEARD HAY
SPEAK IN CARNEGIE HALL
Said Campaign Would Be Memorable as One of
the Quietest Ever Known.
New York, Oct. 26.—The crowd at
the Republican mass meeting in Car
negie Hall to-night was so large that
the doors were locked at 7:30 o’clock.
At that time all the available space
within the hall \v*as tilled and several
thousand people were crowded about
the entrances, seeking admittance.
John Hay, Secretary ot State, who
made the first speech, was given an
ovation when he appeared. The band
played and -flags were waved in every
part of the house, while the audience
cheered.
Secretary Hay was Introduced as
“One of the greatest living Americans
and the foremost diplomat in all the
world." Great cheering greeted the
Secretary as he arose. He said:
Secretary Hay went over the same
grounds that most of the Republican
campaign speakers have gone over.
“This campaign.” he said, “will be
memorable in our annuls as one of
the quietest ever known. Rarely in
our recollection has there been so lit
tle excitement, so slight disturbance
of the orderly course of affairs.
“There is. I venture to say, no ex
planation of this state of feeling, ex
cept that the people of this country
have made up their minds that there
is to be for the present no change in
the principles and policies that have
proved so successful in the last eight
years.
“None of us will make the mistake
of thinking the contest of this year
unimportant. On the contrary, it goes
down to the very foundations of our
national welfare. The country can
not afford to give up the gold stand
ard and to drift on the shifting cur
rents of financial experiment and
quackery. It cannot afford to give up
the principle and practice of protec
tion to American irgjustrles. Any rad
ical meddling with the tariff would
throw a thousand industries into con
fusion and bring many to ruin. Sta
bility, unity of purpose, is absolutely
necessary to the complicated and deli
cate machinery of modern business,
where the change in the price of a
single by-product may vitally affect
the prosperity of a great industry and
may make all the difference between
comfort and want to thousands of
workingmen and their families. No
body denies that the tariff must from
time to time be revised. But It is too
evident for argument that the revision
must be intrusted to friendly hands—
to those who believe, as a matter of
business and of public morals, in the
policy of cherishing American manu
factures.”
"Neither can the country afford to
intrust its vast domestic interests to
those who denounce as extravagant
and unconstitutional all money spent
for the 'general welfare,' to promote
which was one of the special objects
for which the constitution was brought
into being. Do we want to give our
gallant little army to the care of those
who think it ought to be disbanded,
or our navy—which under this admin
istration has carried our flag Into so
many distant seas, never on a wanton
errand of hostility, but always as the
friend of American commerce and the
protector of our citizens—do we want
it handed over to the men who say it
ought to be thrown to the scrap heap?
Do we want the Philippines abandoned
to be the victims of misrule at the
hands of their own agitators, or the
A ONE-MAN PARTY.
Gorman Deplore* the nomination nt
Theodore Koonevelt.
Laurel, Md.. Oct. 26.—Senator Ar
thur Pue Gorman made what will pos
sibly be his only speech during the
present campaign at a large mass
meeting in this, his home, town, to
night, and devoted the greater portion
of his address to an attack on the pres
ent administration, militarism and offi
cial extravagances. Senator Gorman
said in part:
"The Republican party Is a great
party and ordinarily it is safe. In
this campaign, however, you are not
dealing with the Republican party, a
party composed of free American citi
zens. You are dealing with a one-man
party in Theodore Roosevelt. He com
pletely dominates his party, and has
led it from the paths of rectitude and
honest dealing. How he obtained this
great power over his party, I am un
able to say, but that he has it no one
will deny.’’
Eulogizing Lincoln, the speaker said
that he had tried to bring peace and
prosperity to the South at the close
of the war “while here, thirty-nine
years after the conflict ended, comes
one Theodore Roosevelt to reopen the
old wounds and threaten a people, who
have greater burden to bear than any
other people on earth, with negro dom
ination which means threatening their
homes.”
In a eulogy of Grant, Senator Gor
man declared that that great soldier
upon becoming President, declared
against a large standing army In which
he was upheld by 'another great soldier,
Gen. John A. Logan, who framed the
bill limiting it to 30,000 men. “yet here
Is Theodore Roosevelt, a little soldier
of less than ninety days, with dreams
of an empire to be made by him, who
forced the passage of a law Increasing
the standing army to 100,000 men and
bringing the t*ate militia organizations
under presidential control.
“Roosevelt promised by McKinley’s
bier to follow in his footsteps and he
has followed—in the opposite direction.
He has built up an army and a navy
too large for the country and he has
bullied South American republics and
taken from one, Colombia, Its most
valuable asset.
“In doing all these things the money
of the American people has been spent
like water and corruption has crept
into the public service.”
Fairbanks at Hannthnl.
Hannibal, Mo., Oct. 26. —Senator
Charles W. Fairbanks to-night con

sands in Hannibal. During the day
his special train traversed Illinois, the
drat speech being made in Decatur.
At nightfall the train entered Missouri.
Former United States Senator William
E. Mason of Chicago accompanied Sen
ator Fairbanks through the tour of Il
linois and made addresses at most of
the stopping places. The largest and
moat inspiring meeting of the day was
In Springfield. 111., where the Senator
referred eloquently to the memory of

prey of any covetous power that may
wish to enslave them for its own
profit? Do we want to sne: k out of
the Isthmus of Panama, acknowledge
we have no right there, and basely
surrender the hope and the dream of
centuries? And do we want to for
sake and repudiate the foreign policy
of McKinley and Roosevelt, which was
also the policy of Lincoln and Mon
roe, which had its august origin in
the heart and brain of George Wash
ington, of treating all countries as
friends, doing business with all the
peoples of good-will, meeting courtesy
with courtesy and wrong with firm
ness, being Just to all nations and
partial to none?
“Our path is marked out for us so
plainly that even if we wanted to we
could not deviate from It. If the peo
ple want a continuation of the policies
of the last eight years, they know
they will get it from the Republican
party. But what man can tell what
Judge Parker would do if he were
elected next month? Perhaps—and this
is the theory of the most optimistic of
his supporters he might do Just what
Mr. Roosevelt is doing; and perhaps
he would take the opposite view of ail
public questions. There comes no light
on this vital inquiry from the Demo
cratic platform. It dodges some ques
tions and straddles others; it makes
charges without a basts of truth or
probability. It palters in a double
sense on all the questions upon which
we desire a frank utterance. And if
we seek it from the candidates we are
no better off. When they do not con
tradict the platform they contradict
each other and themselves. They have
been for holding the Philippines and
for scuttling from them. They are for
free silver, to judge by their acts; they
are for a. gold standard, to Judge by
their words. They are for free trade—
and a fair degree of protection. On
one point they and the platform agree.
They are in favor of the constitution —
except In the Southern states.
"But whatever the platform and the
candidates may profess it is perfectly
clear that the vast proportion of the
party, as at present organized, is op
posed to the Republican principles set
forth in our platform and avowed by
otir candidates. They are opposed to
the gold standard; to all our pro
gramme, foreign and domestic.
"The crux of the situation is this: If
vou vote the Republican ticket you
know what you are doing. The Re
publican record and tho Republican
professions are one. They avow what
they have done. They make no apol
ogies, no excuses for it. They say
that under similar circumstances they
will do the same again. Whether right
or wrong they are clear and explicit.”
Secretary Hay touched upon the ro
tation in office idea, the army and
navy question, and wound up with a
lengthy defense of Roosevelt in the
Panama scandal. In winding up his
address he threw out this suggestion to
New York voters; “Men of New York!
will vou allow it to be said that while
the rest of the country stood by hltn
you fell away? When President Roose
velt ascends the steps of the Capitol
next March, shall it be said that his
mother state has no part In his tri
umph? If that shall be so, yours will
be the loss, not his.”

PARKER’S ELECTION
WOULD PLEASE BRYAN.
Thinks His Own Pet Principles
Would Be Postered.
Hammond, Ind.. Oct. 26.—W. J.
Bryan’s tour of Indiana ended here to
night with two big meetings. Chair
man Thomas Taggart Joined Mr. Bry
an at Logansport.
At two meetings to-day Mr. Taggart
met some of the state leaders, but made
no speeches. On the train Chairman
Taggart had a talk with Mr. Bryan,
who has spoken in West Virginia, Ohio
and Indiana and the political situation
was discussed. Chairman Taggart
said he was exceedingly hopeful for
Democratic success In Indiana, and
Mr. Bryan expressed himself as
pleased with the outlook In Indiana.
Mr. Taggart said:
"What I have seen In the counties
and towns of Indiana that I visited to
day convinces me that Indiana is now
in better condition politically than It
has been for the last fifteen years.
Every Indication points to Democratic
success In Indiana this fall. Indica
tions are very favorable In New York,
New Jersey Connecticut and West Vir
ginia.”
In his speech-here Mr. Bryan said:
"Judge Parker's election will hasten
every reform in which I am Interested
by removing from' the arena of politics
the questions which now divert public

to Peruna. I did so.
“in a short time the lassitude left me. my kidneys resumed a healthy
condition, and a complete cure was effected.
