Enthusiasm Marked His Reception at Ail the Pluces He Visited—Au diences Showed Their Apprecia tion of Him and His Doctrines. Principal Speech Made at Hart lord— Meeting There One of the Greatest of the Campaign. Hartford, Conn., Nov. 3.—Four en thusiastic audiences greeted Judge Parker to-day on his only visit to the slate in the campaign, and in several other places through which his special train passed he was given rousing im promptu welcomes. The principal speech of the trip was in this city to-night. The other re ceptions were held in Bridgeport, New Haven and Meriden, where an address was made from the rear end of the train. This speech dealt with the question of trusts, and the candidate denied the charge that the Standard Oil Company is the financial sponsor of the Democratic party and charged that the company’s interests are with the Republican party. The meeting in this city -was one of the greatest of the campaign in this state. Judge Parker was given a warm welcome from the moment he reached the city. The meeting was held in the Opera House. All en trances were blocked by the time the candidate was driven to the Opera House, and admittance was obtained with the greatest difficulty. Judge Parker held informal recep tions after each of his meetings and shook hands during the day and even ing with several thousand people. He remained over night in Hartford and will start on his return trip to New York to-morrow morning. This city became wildly enthusias tic over Judge Parker at a monster rally held In the Opera House to-night. Democrats from all parts of the state came here and the accommodations for the audience was entirely inadequate. The crowd proved to be the most de monstrative of any he had faced dur ing the day. The ovation lasted eighteen minutes, most of the audi ence being on their feet shouting wild ly, while hundred of them waved flags. The Shipping question. Judge Parker in his speech here re ferred to the shipping question as fol lows : “The time has again come when we need ships of our own, but they should be built, not at the cost of the government, not from taxes drawn from all the people, but as a result of the enterprise of our people. They should be designed and constructed by the ingenuity of our engineers, operat ed by our seamen and owmed by our people. Every landing place along these limitless coasts of ours ought to he a nursery, however rude, for the sailor. Our products sent to other countries should be carried in Ameri can bottoms and that almost Infinite demand by our people for the prod ucts of other countries, should enable us to bring them everything that their material comfort, education and pro gress makes it necessary or desirable for them to use.” Judge Parker commended Interna tional arbitration, but thought our best assurance for peace would be to maintain onlv such an army as is actually needed. He then took up the tariff question, reviewing the develop ment of a high protective tariff, which he said compelled us to pay more for things we buy than we otherwise would. He continued: Extortions by tlie Trusts. “If a collector from the steel trust should ask you to contribute a dollar a year for each member of your fam ily. would you do it? You cannot think of any argument that could per suade you to. Yet, the celebrated sta tistician, Edward Atkinson, asserts that the steel interests collect an av erage of $1 a year for each person with the aid of the tariff statute. "Precisely that result is accomplish ed as to many articles by our present tariff laws. Sewing machines, mow ing machines, farm implements of va rious kinds, as well as a great num ber of articles every day purchased, are made in this country, and sold abroad cheaper than they are sold here. Some are sold one-fifth cheaper, others one-quarter, and still others one-third, after paying the expense of transportation across the ocean. That fifth or quarter or third represents the amount the purchaser is obliged to place in the manufacturer’s box over and above the fair value of the thing purchased, as evidenced by the price ht which he sells it abroad. "He compels you to pay this amount oy means of a statute which places the duty so high that foreign competi tion is cut off.” Democrat* Optioned Trust*. After pointing out the necessity for the development of our foreign trade, Judge Parker addressed himself to the trust question, saying: “Our opponents have the effrontery to claim that they alone have shown any desire to oppose the trusts. Their claim ® (( a * false as It is flagrant. St> far from this being the fact, the record shows that time and again tno representatives of the Democratic party have begun prosecutions under ’he so-called Sherman act. Attorney •eneral Olney began and Attorney •eneral Harmon continued to the end j rst . of the successful prosecutions inder the anti-trust law. Attorney ■eneral Harmon asked for approprla tons to enforce that act. He reported tr„ ,‘ Jn * ro "S I hfl t witnesses against the cusi should be exempted from liability i,i, 1 they could not Interpose the •“ °f privilege, but It was not heeded a Republican Congress.

It puts into the hands of the Presi dent and of the Republican party the means of continuing its hold upon the reins of government without limit as to time, through the possession of se crets of the trusts which under the terms of the legislation itself, he may make public or private as he directs. YV e know full well how the oppor tunity for the use of that legislation has been availed of in this campaign. The statute could not have been bet ter devised for successful ‘financing’ of the present election of the candidate of the Republican party, or for its indefinite perpetuation in power. Don’t Run It Like That. “In the promotion of our business interests, we need a Department of Commerce and Labor. But we do not want a Department of Commerce and Labor whose secretary sh'all go out from it every four years, after he had filled his brain and his notebooks with the secrets of all the great corpora tions and combinations, which depend upon the government for business or favors, not in order to serve the peo ple, but to raise money' to corrupt them. Nor do our people want a department to send its statisticians at the ex pense of the government into the serv ice of a great political committee, in order to put forth doctored statistics. “We want a Department of Com merce and Labor which will furnish our merchants, farmers, manufacturers and workmen with the fullest and lat est information, Intelligently and hon estly obtained, and so fairly prepared that dependence may be placed upon it as a real guide. We want to know what other countries are doing in in dustries, and this is all the more im portant because we feel sure that in none of them has the head of such a department retired from his work to go out into the business to collect campaign money. “We could not and ought not to have to -have a modern inquisitor who exploits corporations to collect money for corrupting the franchise, or elect ing pliant legislators, or capturing the electoral vote of pivotal states. “The manufacturers and the work ingmen of Connecticut want the world for their markets, and that depart ment of the government should be used fop their commercial advantage and that of their fellow manufactur ers and operatives throughout the country.” JUDGE PARKERTALKED TO STUDENTS OF YALE. The Strennou* Life Not Recommend ed to the Youth*. New Haven, Conn., Nov. 3. —A large and Aiger crowd filled the New Haven station as Judge Parker’s train roll ed in. There was cheering w r hen the presidential candidate was recognized crossing the platform, accompanied by Judge A. Heaton Robertson, the party candidate for Governor. The jfarty took carriages and were driven slow ly through a number of streets to Music Hall, which was well filled be fore Mr. Parker arrived. The gal lery had been reserved for Yale men, and applause was unstintedly given by them as Mr. Parker took his seat on the platform. Judge Parker devoted part of his address to the students and then took up “The Strenuous Life.” He said: “It has become a fashion during re cent years to exhort our young men to lead what has been called ‘the strenuous life.’ Not content with our universal activity In industry, our work in the conquest of a continent, the conclusion seems to h'ave been reached that somehow we had overlooked some thing. We have always had an ef ficient army of brave soldiers well commanded. It has been so sufficient for our needs that we have been able to resist the onslaught of the savage, to Ward off foreign aggression, and to settle our own internal troubles. “But this does not seem to satisfy. We must be strenuous in adventure, for personal glory, and even in looking for a fight. It Is apparently not enough that we shall be active in every moral and religious movement, In everything that can promote education, the train ing and the discipline of our youths— these, apparently do not assure real progress. We are invited to turn aside from these into those lines of activity and adventure which smack of the Cru sades, and of the time, w'hen the moat ed castle W'as the only home in which human beings could be fairly to have a right to live.” Judge Parker said college students had always been strenuous, but they had not become swashbucklers in school or afterward. Judge Parker concluded with a few words addressed to first voters. PROGRESS DOES NOT MEAN STANDING PAT. Judge Parker Rrfrr* to the Slogan of the Republican*. Bridgeport, Conn., Nov. 3.—When Judge Parker’s special train pulled in to the station here from New York to day the Judge was received with an outburst of applause by the people, who thronged the platform. Parker was immediately welcomed in a for mal way by Gen. Henry A. Bishop, candidate for lieutenant governor on the Democratic ticket. After luncheon Judge Parker w'as driven with Gen. Bishop to the Third Regiment Armory, where he delivered an address to an audience which taxed the capacity of the building. When Judge Parker entered the audience cheered for five minutes. Judge Par ker said In part: "During the past few years an en tirely new doctrine has been preached. Its logic Is that whatever else we have done in the world, whatever human Imperfections may still exist, so far us the levy of taxes Is concerned, wo have reached absolutely perfection. The phrase ‘standing pat’ used to de note this idea, may not be elegant, but It Is, at least, expressive." Judge Parker gave historical In stances of "standing pat” and blocking the way of progress, and said: "The whole of modern progress has come largely from the refusal of the world to "stand pat.’ Each successive generation has recognized the virtues and accepted the labors of its prede cessors, but In doing so none has even declined or refused lo recognise new demands or lo correct old abuses. “There is no more reason why we should not revise our national revenue laws than there would have been at other period* of hf*tory lo stop all progres*.

BRAVERY AND AWFUL CARNAGE MARK THE STORY OF THE SIEGE OF PORT ARTHUR Detailed Account of the Desperate Attacks of the Japanese and the Heroic Defense of the Russians. , Headquarters Japanese Army in Front of Port Arthur, Nov. 2, by way of Che Foo. Nov. 3. (censored) —When the Japanese drove the Russians from their strong position on the last range of hills in front of the fortress by a surprise attack, July 30, the Russians retired to the forts, but they also held strong previously prepared advance lines to prevent the Japanese from closing in upon the fortified ridges. Taku and Shakhu mountains were first taken by the Japanese, but an at tempt Aug. 14 to capture another Rus sian position failed. It was announced at Japanese head quarters on Oct. 15 that siege guns would be in position and ready to be gin a bombardment on the 20th. The Associated Press correspondent was welcomed by Gen, Nogi, who said he was just in time to see the conclusion of a successful campaign and the capture of Port Arthur. The wet weather fermented the rice and produced much berl-beri among the Japanese troops. The number of cases from June to September was nearly 16,000. During the colder weather of October there were practically no cases of beri beri. During the morning of the 19th the siege guns opened a desultory fire to find the ranges, and an entire division of infantry advanced and assaulted the Russian redoubts at the foot of Rihlung mountain. The troops captur ed, the trenches in front of the re doubts. Iteir'in In Earnest. The operations began in earnest at daybreak on the 20th with a bombard ment of the whole line of the Russian forts. Under cover of the bombard ment the Japanese Infantry made a determined general advance against the Russians’ first trenches. The wiy in to the city was protected by four ad vance half moon fdrts, connected by bomb proof trenches ‘and having a | twenty-foot moat in front. A desper- ! ate attempt was made by the Japan ese during the afternoon to capture the strongest half moon fort. The infantry charged, cut the entangle ments, crossed the moat with scaling ladders, stormed the fort and drove the j Russians back. But the real strength j of their position lay in the bomb proof ! trenches. They were filled with troops | and concealed machine guns, which j poured a deadly hail of bullets into the j Japanese and forced them to retire. At about the same time the Rus sians recaptured the trenches in front of the redoubt In advance of the Rih lung fort. On the right flank the Rus sian tine was forced back. One Jap anese regiment worked up the east Slope and another regiment made its way up the west slope of 174 yards hill, under the concentrated fire of the Russian artillery and captured the fort at the point of the bayonet at noon. Elsewhere the Japanese were repulsed. Without Orders, Saved tlie ny, The assault threatened to result in hii utter failure to secure a foothold on the fortified ridge, and Gen. Nogi summoned the generals of the left and center divisions to consult with him concerning the operations. During his absence, on Aug. 21, without special orders several companies of a regiment of the center division emerged from their trenches, at the foot of the East Banjusan fort, and In tens and twen ties charged up the slope to the broken wsll of the trench ground the crest of the fortified hill, undir cover of "a splendid shrapnel practice from their field batteries in the valley. The Rus- Sitns behind the wall end In the fort poured out a hall of rifle bullets, aud SAVANNAH. GA.. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 4. 1004 the machine and quick-firing guns belched forth on the intrepid Japan ese. Twice the latter were forced back till the slope was covered with bodies, but a third attempt was made and a score of Japanese reached the broken wall. The terrible fire of the Rus sians, however, started their retire ment. Oltleer’s Heroic Sacrifice. Suddenly a Japanese officer, regard less of the danger, stood up, called out an order, planted ills regimental flag on the wall and was immediately rid dled with Russian bullets. The effect on the Japanese of this sacrifice was instantaneous. The retreating infan trymen stopped in their tracks, hesi tated and then charged back, fought like demons. Jumped over the wall, charged the Russians with bayonets and forced many of them up the gla cis, over the ramparts and into the fort. The fact that they had reached the corner wall on the dead ground en abled the Japanese to hold on, though the entire Russian fire was concen trated on that point for six hours. The Japanese were reinforced from time to time by rushes make by their com rades up the death way from the trenches, and they stubbornly held the corner wall and a small section of the Russian trenches until two companies of another regiment worked through the trenches and captured the west Banjusan fort, the magazine of which bad been blown up by a shell a short time before. Later part of the South Keekwan fort was captured. Peculiar Situation. The dawn of the 23rd developed a peculiar position. The assault of the previous afternoon had resulted in piercing the Russian fortified ridge east of Port Arthur, in the form of a wedge, while the entire line east and west was still strongly held. At daylight the Russians concentrated their shrapnel fire on the captured forts and the Japanese south of Keekwan were ejected from their positions. The Banjusan forts were subjected to an awful fire, but the Japanese In possession of them continued making bomb-proof trenches on the hills. There was a fierce bombardment ail day. There was tremendous activity, the rear lines sending forward ammuni tion. The news came in whispers that a general assault along the whole line would take place between midnight and 3 o’clock in the morning. The Russians, anticipating an assault, made a strong counter attack. The Japanese advance lines were driven from the forts and were furiously at tacked by large bodies of Russians. The Russian move was cleverly planned and their artillery command ers were well Informed, for they open ed fire with shrapnel on the advance of the Japanese supports across the valley, using star-lights and search lights with good effect In the counter attack on the Japanese forces. The general assault then began and foe twenty minutes the whole Japanese line was engaged. The left division from the trenches in front of the Keekwan forts charged the fortified hills. Triumph Cnl Short. Part of the advance had gained the crests and shouted, ‘’Banzai!’’ when their triumph was cut short. Sudden ly the two powerful searchlights of the east forts lighted up the Japanese lines, and Russian riiles and machine guns poured a deadly hail into the cleat ly visible ranks of the attacking troops. The Japanese were slowly forced down the slopes to the trenches below. On the west fiank the searchlights of Etse and Talyangkow forts played along the Japanese trenches, prevent ing the movement of troops. The Jap anese artillerymen concentrated their fire on searchlight, shells contin ually blanketing the lights. Suddenly the light of Etse fort dis appeared and the light of Talyangkow fort followed. The Japanese infantry on the right flank advanced on the trenches clone to the Russian tines when th* light was Hashed out in the faces of the advancing troops and ku sian machine guns, previously well placed, swept the fire along the lines, while the rifles blrzed with continual rattle. The Japanese captured the Banju san forts, outflanking the Russian forces, and slowly forcing their lines back to the foot of the fortified hills. Though the Japanese plan of attack was destroyed by the Russian counter attack, the Japanese fought with splendid determination. Slowly the Russians were driven back up the slopes, fighting desperately with rifles. Russiun I/lshta Skillfully Worked. The Russian machine guns were used with great Effect when the Japanese lines were lighted up by the search lights, while the fort guns pounded in the valley. The Japanese artillery was urfable to fire at this point, as the Japanese forces were mixed. The Skillful working of the Russian star-lights and searchlights were ut terly unexpected and bewildering. They never failed to locate the Jap anese lines, which offered splendid marks for the Russian rifles and ma chine guns and rendered the Japanese machine guns of little use, as they were located and silenced by quick-firers before they could do any execution. The Russians along the whole line fought in the blackest, darkness and the Japanese with the most dazzling light in their faces. The rattle of musketry, the thundering of the Rus sian guns, the purring of the machine guns, the bursting of star-lights, and the flashing of searchlights along the whole line was a wonderfully impres sive sight. The fight lasted contin uously for six hours, till dawn, when the outflankers were forced back over the captured fortified hills, followed by the Japanese, who despite the fire of the forts captured the forts and Join ed their force from the valley. As the Russian outflankers were driven In, Keekwan fort fired. The previous day. under cover of a tremendous bombard ment, the eastern fortified ridge and later the east Banjusan fort were set on fire by Japanese shells and burned ail day. The Japanese fleet appeared in the offing and engaged the Russian sea ward forts. There was a furious ar tillery duel during the night and the center division again ass’aulted East Banjusan'fort, but was unsuccessful. The scene during the night, the burst ing of star-light shells, the flushing of four powerful searchlights from the eastern Golden hill fort and Chair hill forts, the roar of the big guns and the rattling of musketry presented a weird and wonderful sight. Stormed Them Again, Before dawn on the 22nd the center division made a third attempt to cap ture the higher fortified ridge of Ash hill, the new Bnnjusan forts, on the higher ridge and the rear fort*. The Banjusan forts were stormed and cap tured, the Japanese pursuing the Rus sians who defended them. Two hun dred Japanese officers and men were killed. With daylight the Japanese artillery started a terrific bombardment. Every gun from the Japanese left to the cen ter concentrated Its fire on the eastern end of the fortified ridge. As the bom bardment went on, It increased In vol ume as the guns from the center and west Joined In it, and swept the ridge at the apex of Port Arthur. The storm of bursting shells lasted for half an hour, during which time the awful, concentrated fire swept the ridge from end to end. Over 400 guns roe red in rapid succession until the entire ridge was enveloped in a cloud of smoke. For the time every Rus sian fort was silenced. When the smoke cleared away It was seen that the left division had advanced through the captured forts. During the night of the 24th the ranks of the Japanese were so deci mated by Ihe furious shrapnel fire Of the Russians that they were forced to retire to the valley below the captured forts, and what might have been - t sue essful general assault, with the <apture of the fortified ridge east of Port Arthur, was converted by th Russian tactics Into a repulse, redeem- Continued on Fifth Fag*T DEAD BODY OF GIRL FOUND IN VACANT LOT. IS-Yenr-Olil Telephone Operator YVn* Foully Mnrilereil. Cincinnati, Nov. 3.—Terribly cut and crushed about the head, the dead body of Alma Steinway, a telephone opera tor, 18 years old, was found to-day in a vacant lot near Spring Grove Cemetery at Winston Place, a suburb. While there are large footprints In the trtill, where the body was found, there is no clue to the supposed slayer. The girl left the telephone office at Cummtngsville last night and her body was found in the lot near the ceme tery this morning. Her head and face had been horribly crushed with a club. No other Injuries were found on the body except the wounds on the head. To-nlght Conductor Frank Llmle told the police that Alma Stetnway got on his cur fast night at Knowlton Corner, accompanied by a man. The pair rode to Wlnton road and got off. He said the man had frequently ridden with Miss Steinway. Limle said he could identify the man. There Is a striking similarity In the death of Miss SteimVay and that of Louise Mueller, whose mutilated body was found a month ago about half a mile front where the body of Miss Steinway was found, and the chief of detectives is of the opinion that the same man committed both deeds. OFFICERS WERE REMISS. Held lo IHnnio ly Court of Inquiry for Soldier*’ Denth. Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 3.—On Aug. 19 last two privates of the Durham Com pany of the North Carolina National Guard on top of a train coming front the encampment at Morehrttd City, wore killed near Goldsboro as their heads struck a low bridge. A military Inquiry was ordered and this to-day Issued Its findings, in which the colonel of the Third Regiment, J. N. Craig of Reldsville, and all regi mental and company officers who were on the train, are held to have been remiss in the discharge of their duties in not taking ordinary precaution to enforce proper discipline. No court-martial Is probable. The men killed were drinking and singing and were on top of the train without permission. SHIPWRECKED MEN MURDERED BY NATIVES.

London, Nov. 3,—According to Infor mation from the island of Perim, at the entrance to the Red sea, an Inves tigation on Massari Island made by the Sultan of Muscat shows that a boat’s crew of captain and twenty-one men, which left the British steamer Baron Innerdale, which ran ashore at the Kurla Murla Islands, reached Mas sari Island and were massacred by the natives there. Nine of the murderers have been captured. Previous Information Was that the boat had capsized and ail its occupants drowned except one boy, who was saved by the natives. MARIN ES7)N GUARD. Will Prevent Threats Made by Ital ians llelng Tarried Out. Norfolk, Va., Nov. 3.—Extra guards of marines have been stationed around the partly constructed $2,000,000 dry dock at the navy yard, on account of threats that had been made by Italian laborers discharged by the J. C. Rod gers Construction Company, which has the contract for building the dock, to wreak vengeance by destroy ing the buildings of the company. The trouble has been brewing since Saturday night when a number of the Italians, who were brought here from New York, were laid off. The dis charged men endeavored to create a strike and failing In this, made threats to burn down the buildings used by the construction company, which adjoin the partly finished dry dock. When the company became aware of this phase in the trouble the com mandant of the yard was requested to put an extra guard on duty, and now an extra force of marines pa trols the vicinity of the drydock. No attempt has been made to carry out the threats up to this time. AIRSHIP WAS FOUND. It llnil Sailed Sixteen Miles from St. Louis. St. Louis, Nov. 3.-—California Ar row, the airship of Capt. T. 8. Bald win of San Francisco, which slipped away last night, was found to-day sixteen miles west of St. Louis. It was unharmed by Its wild night flight save for two small rents in the gas bag. Capt. Baldwin says the ship can be repaired In half an hour. The airship’s anchor rope caught on a dead limb. This served as an an chor and the airship was found moored In a cornfield by farmers.

Samuel McCue was resumed to-day when the arguments were continued. Capt. Rtclfard S. Kor, who is as sociated with the prosecution, address ed the Jury. Capt.

He then passed to the testimony per taining to the domestic relations ex isting in the McCue household, giving emphasis to the evidence adduced by the commonwealth In that respect. Ho differed with the defense as to the In terpretation of the law relative to mo tive. at the same time contending that a motive had been shown. Capt.

Like lliose who preceded him, he spoke with the court room packed, and men stood in the windows on the outside. Mr. Coleman made an Impassioned appeal for his client, and one of his bursts of eloquence caused the accused to bury his face In a. handkerchief and weep. Indeed, the defendant gave way to his emotions a number of times while his counsel was pleading to tha Jury in hts behalf. A great many women who occupied front seats In the gallery, brought their lunches with them and remained throughout the noon recess. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon a recess was taken until 8 o'clock, that Mr. Coleman might conclude to-nlght, the idea of night sessions originating with the Jury. The K.ml I* Near.
