Springtield, Mo., Sept.1.—‘Itismy positive belief that Judge parker will be elected,” declared Wm. J. Bryan tothe Post-Dispatch this morning in response to & question as to what he thought of the prospects for na- i tional Democratic vietory. Concerning his address, so far as {t pertains to the candicacy of Judge Parker, Mr. Bryafi made statement: “My address thie evening will indi- cate just where I stand. Judge Par- ker and I do not agree on all things, but we are one in our judgment as to the great issues of this campaign, “I believe Judge Parker ought to be elected, If the preliminary indi- ; cations may be taken as evidence for : forcast, I feel sure he will be the next { President of the United States. “The West will do its share to- wards bringing about the success of the national ticket. My present visit to Missouri convinces me that this state will roll up @ majority of 50,- 000, it not more, for the national and state tickets.” “Do you find any apathy among Democrats with regard to the na- tional platform?” Mr. Bryan was asked. “None at all,” he replied emphati- eally. “Were your meetings of the past fow days as well attended as those a at which you spoke in Missouri four years ago?” “I think so, In fact, there is not going to be any Democrats stay-at- home vote this year.” Mr. Bryan, when asked regarding @ recent interview in which he was qioted as saying, “Ido not intend to deliver any speeches east of In-| diana,” said: “That is not true, What I sald was that I had not been Invited or scheduled to deliver any epeeches in the East. Ihave no objections at all to making speeches in New York or elsewhere. The Democrats of the East and West are united and har- y monious and they pull together this fall, as they have never pulled before to win.” Mr. Bryan said that at the conclu: alon of his Missourl tour he would return to Nebraska, where he intend- ed to remain a short while and then go West with his family for a rest of two or three weeks. He will resume his work in the campaign about Oct. 1. KIROPATKIN ORDERS _ dicts a 50,000 —. in} levident object of cutting the Russian line of communication with Mukden. | heir exact strength was not estab- lished, but a division was made out. As soon as the Japanese found that the Russians were retiring from their outer positions southward, they re- sumed the attack there, although it was then quite dark. Thus pressed, the Russians arrested thelr move- ment to the rear and again faced aad Japanese. With the view of eventual retire- ment from their outer positions, the Russians had dug a large number of pits with stakes concealed in their bottoms. The pits were artfully con- cealed among the high Chinese corn, When the Japanese charged after the Russians they fell into the pits in hundreds and were engulfed and {m- paled on the stakes, then their lines were thrown into confusion, When the Russians faced about and return- ed to their old positions they found {these death traps filled with dead jand dying. The rattle of musketry and boom of cannon continued until midnight, when at last silence brooded over the bloody battle field and the tired sol- diers lay down where they had fought while the worn out surgeons and angels of mercy ministered to th wounded all night and the Chinese coolies worked atcarrying them into Liao-Yang. General Sakharofi, in reporting the battle, says the Japanese suffered enormous losses, much larger than those of the Russians, who also lost heavily. General Stakelberg, who is among the wounded, still retains command of his army corps, although he Js no longer in chief command of the south- ern army, which has since been con- soliduted under General Zarobaleff. General Stakelberg’s injury {8 slight and he did not leave the field. General Marozoveky, who was also wounded, commanded the artillery brigade. He distinguished himself during the suppression of the Boxer troubles in C..na. His wound fs se- vere. Sam B. Cook Discussds Taxation in Missouri. Republic Special. Shelbina, Mo., Aug.81.—One of the features of the Shelbina Fair to- day wasSam B.Cook’s speech on taxation of public corporations in Missouri. Mr. Cook was introduced by Congressman 8. T, Lloyd. He said that the Globe-Democrat recently reported @ speech of Mr. Akins, in which that gentleman was reported as saying the State gov- ernment wasrun bya ring of free- booters who werein the service of the corporations. In answer to this, Mr. Cook said PRINCESS LOUISE ELOPES ONCE MORE) Muskogee. I. T., Sept. 2 —Emma| Daughter of King of Belgians’ After Years of Confinement Evates Watchers. Vienna, Sept.1.—For the second | Nebraskan Statesman Asserts, in force directly westward, with the; time her infatuation for Lieut. Mat- tasich-Keglevich, called the “Hun- garian Dreyfus,” has caused the Princess Loulse of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha to elope with him. She disap- peared from Elster, Saxony, where she had been taking the waters. The lovers escaped in an automo- bile and no trace of them has been found. The Princess Louise, now 45 years old has led even a wilder life than the crown princess of Saxony, who eloped with a Frenchman a year ago. The lieutenant with whom she fled fought two duols with her husband, ja one of which the the prince was severely wounded. The love affair of these two scandalized even acourt to which such things were not un- known. When the husband one day met the princess and the Heutenant in the apartments of the princess he immediately challenged the lieuten- ant toa duel, Following this came years of imprisonment, with horrible tortures, While he was {n the penitentiary, the princess was divorced by the prince and placed {n a sanitarium, Since her release from this {nstitu- tion she had been so closely guarded that eacape would have been impos sible except for a ruse The Pricess Louise is the daughter of the king of the Belgians. She was married to Prince Philip, a corrupt monarch, when 17 years old. Sen. Depew Charges Libel. Whitney’s Point, N. Y., Sept. 1.— According to a speech by Chauncey Depew here at the fair to-day, Wil- Ham Allen White of Emporia, Kan., libeled his name in a magazine article on postal frauds. White said tn the article that when Senator Greon was threatened with indictment, high political friends, in- cluding Senator Depew, made an ap- peal to the president in Green’s be- half. Ex-Senator Hill said here yester- day that the article bore’ the ear- marks of Roosovelt and he challenged Depew to deny or attirm it, Depew said it was not so emphatically. Stones and Clubs Used by Strikers. St. Louis, Sept. 1.—East St. Louis packing house strikers attacked a street car near the stock yards this morning, gssailing the vehicle with Stones an@ clubs. Three hundred negroes and Poles were in the at- tacking party. But six ‘persons were in the car, three being non-un- ion employes. Hundreds were at- tracted to the scene. A freight train blocked the trolley’s passage for the purpose, the police say, of abetting the strikers, A riot call was sent in and ten of- ticers with the sheriff and deputies RETREAT AFTER ALL-DAY FIGHT ON SOUTHERN FRONT St Petersburg, Sept. 2.—According to official advices from the front the battle yesterday was of the most desperate character. It raged con- tinuously from dawn until after mid- night, and the slaughter most have been immense. At 8 in the evening, after holding his outer positions all day-in the face of the most desperate charges, Gen. Kuropatkin gave the order to retire upon the main works ofthecity. The Japanese assaults during the day had been directed principally against the Russian center, a little east of Laletung Hill, near the railroad, and three miles southwest of Liao Yang. Nothing approaching the severity of the infantry and artillery fire here had been heretofore experienced in the war. General Kondratevitch’s division bore the brunt and suffered the most. Bayonet charges eucceed- ed each other in rapid succession, while the artillery duel never ceased for a moment. No attempt was made in the offi- cial report to estimate the gune the Japanese had, except that they had many hundreds. 150 charges, and these must have control of this State the ’ railroads Each gun carries| gress. that when the Republicans were in were not taxed a cent, and now the service corporations were taxed here much higher than in either Illinois, Towa or Kansas. “Take the Eads bridge, for in- stance,” said Mr. Cook. ‘One-half was taxed in this State and one-half in Illinois. The half in Illinois was assessed $350,000 and the halt in Missouri $1,750,000. The differ- ence infavor of Missouri was even greater in the case of the Wiggins Ferry Company. In Illinois the Tailroads are assessed, on an aver- age, less than $8,000 per mile; in Missouri $12,000; in Iowa, $6,000 and in Kansas $7,000 per mile. Pope to Have Auto. Rome, Sept. 2.—The pope has pur- chased an automobile for bis personal use in taking daily rides through the Vatican gardens. Cardinal Ferrari, archbishop of Milan, the,only cardinal owning an automobile, and who was much crit- icised for it by other members of the sacred college, is responsible, it is eaid, for this etep taken by Pius X. toward modern comfort and pro- Hs submitted plans to the pope for arrived, beating back the strikers with great difficulty. Many shots were fired and one man, James John- son, was seriously hurt by being hit on the head with a brick and stamped by the strikers. He was rescued by the sheriff. “Beware of Married Men.” New York, Sept. 3.—Nan Patter. son, in. jail here- accused of killing “Caesar” Young, a bookmaker, said yesterday that she did not know at first that Young was married. She sald that she tried later to persuade him to go back to his wife and that she was glad when he decided to go to Europe. She said: “My advice to young girls is to beware of married men. When a girl falls in love she doesn’t take in- to consideration whether or not the man is married until it is too late.” Took the Honors, St. Louis, Sept. 1.—The 3-year-old Percheron stallion Fronton, owned by McLaughlin Bros., was awarded the grand championship at the World’s Fair horee show yesterday. ‘The 6-year-old French coach stallion Corrent, also owned by McLaughlin Bros., won the grand championship in French coach classes.
