Speech Devoted to a Plea for.a Re- turn to “Old-Fashioned Princi- ples” and Against Present Administration. New York, Nov. 1—Judge Parker last night made his first platform ap- pearance away from. his home at Esopus since his nomination as the democratic candidate for president. He addressed a monster mass meeting held in Madison Square garden, where his reception was attended by a demen- stration seldom equaled both in the intensity and the duration of the en- thusiasm displayed. The nearest ap- proach was that which followed the | nomination of Judge Parker at St. Louis and later the indorsement by the same convention of the candidate's now famous gold telegram. Not only was the appearance of Judge Parker cheered, but every men- tion of his name by speakers who pre- ceded him provoked outbreaks of ap- | plause, The tumult of unrestrained enthusiasm which accompanied Judge Parker's entrance to the garden was in | contrast to the close attention given him during his speech of not more ‘than half an hour, While his address was punctuated by applause, the | throng which filled the garden to its capacity was markedly considerate in its treatment of the candidate, He had but to raise his hand to gain con- trol of his audience, Though his voice was not strong, it is said he eduld be heard in every part of the building. Judge Parker's address dealt with methods of collecting campaign funds and the candidate took severely to task his republican opponents, follow- ing the line of a speech made recently at Rosemount on the state subject. He discussed the tariff and trusts. He told of his own participation In politi- cal campaigns and asked his audience if it would not like to return to what he termed the old-fashioned principles and his effort was a scathing arraign- ment of the present administration from the democratic point of view. Two hours before Judge Parker was scheduled to arrive at Madison Square garden it was evident there would not be one seat vacant in the mammoth structure. At 4:30 p. m. the line in front of the Madison Square entrance began to form. The doors were not opened uatil six o'clock. Under con- trol of 150 policemen the crowd entered the building in an orderly manner. In less than two hours standing room was at a premium and many were turned away unable to get near the garden. The meeting was called to order by J. Hampden Robb, president of the Business Men's association, who intro- duced Isidore Straus, who presided. Mr. Straus spoke of the meeting at Carnegie hall, where he said was in- troduced “the president that was,” and announced that at this meeting would be introduced “the president that will be.” It was several minutes before he could proceed. The audience arose en masse and waved flags and shouted it~ self hoarse. He then took up the gub- ject of tariff reform which alone, he declared, to be sufficient to make the great mass of thinking voters cast their ballots for Alton B. Parker. The demonstration of the few moments be- fore was repeated and outdone. The throng cheered for 18 minutes, pausing long enough only to gain breath for a renewed outbreak, BANDIT DEPRIVED OF LOOT. In a Tucson Resort a Masked Man ‘Was King Until an Officer Shot Him Down. Tucson, Ariz., Nov. 1—A masked man with pistol in hand entered one of the largest saloons in the city yes- terday and ordered all present to hold up their hands. Eight players at the card tables were lined up against the walls and the bandit proceeded to help himself to the coin in sight. At this point Officer Wheeler, of the rangers, arrived. Wheeler and the bandit exchanged shots and the latter fell wounded. floor he placed his pistol to his temple and fired, but failed to kill himself. An accomplice on the outside fired one shpt at Wheeler, but missed him. The wounded bandit is in the hospital and his wounds are serious. Neat Fair in San Francisco.

HEADWAY ACAINST 4 STIFF BREEZE At Height of 2,000 Feet the Airship Was Under Perfect Control and Was Returned to Place from Which it Started. St. Louis, Nov. 1—After circling in every direction at a height of 2,000 feet above the cascades, in sight of thousands of cheering, enthusiastic spectators on the world's fair grounds, A. Roy Knabenshue, of Toledo, O., in command of the Baldwin airship, yes- terday returned to the place from which he had started over the same course that he had come, covering 3% miles of the round trip under his own power and demonstrating the claims of the inventor, Capt. Thomas S. Baldwin, of San Francisco, that “the Califronia Arrow” is not enly dirigible but that it can make head- way against a moderate breeze. Knabenshue started from the aebo- nautic course at 3:37 p. m., and re- turned after his remarkable flight at 4:05 p.m. On the return trip the air- ship sailed slowly over the exact spot from which it had risen 28 minutes previously and glided about 100 feet further west, where it settled grace- fully to the ground, The descent of the Arrow was the signal of a demonstration, the equal of which has not been seen since the wheels of the world’s fair started last April in response to the pressure, on a key by President Roosevelt, Dozens of eager hands were upstretched to grasp the frame of the airship and the flying machine, with its daring navigator, were carried around the concourse upon the shoulders of shout- ing men. Hats were thrown in the air and when Knabenshue called for three cheers for his home town, they were given with a will, and another round followed for Knabuenshue and Baldwin. After Knabenshue had assisted in housing the airship in the aerodrome he was tendered an ovation, He was introduced to President Francis, of the exposition; Mayor Wells, of St. Louis, and many of the world's fair and city officials, Knabenshue'’s mother and wife, who had arrived from Toledo just-in-time to witness the flight were present and added to the young aero- naut'’s happiness by joining their praise to that of the distinguished men. Although he had just completed the most remarkable flight in the his» tory of American aeronautics Knaben- shue had only praise for the flying machine he had directed, His own share in the achievement was second- ary, in his eyes, to the manner in which the California Arrow had sup- ported the claims of the inventor. “There was not a moment,” said Knabenshue, “when I did not have complete control of the airship. It needed but the slightest pressure on the helm to change the direction of | the vessel and the ‘old Arrow’ respond- ! ed to every demand that I made upon ‘ hate Capt. Baldwin was extremely opti- mistic regarding the future of his air- ship. “I had about determined to leave St. Louis,” he said. “In fact, we had taken the Arrow apart and had it packed ready for shipment when arrangements were made with the world’s fair company for additional flights. Now I will not be content to leave before I have had several trials for that $100,000 prize. The condi- tions are rather severe, but I think that the Arrow can make the required distance within the time limit. As a result of to-day’s flight I have unques- tionably qualified for trial. Knaben- shue went up with instructions not to go far from the aeronautic con- course and to bring the ship to the ground after a trial of a half hour. He came within two minutes of obey- ing my instructions to the letter. I am now convinced and I really did not need O-day S a odo so ha have a wonderful airship and we will give daily exhibitions, of varying lengths, to convince the people of the world that I am right.” | COAL MINES TIED UP. All Over Hlinois the Hoisting Engi- | meers Have Struck Because of a Decrease in Wages. Chicago, Nov. 1.—With both employ- ers and employes confident of victory, a strike of 800 hoisting engineers in 240 bituminous coal mines in Illinois went into effect at 12 o’clock last night. The cause of the strike is the refusal of the engineers to accept a reduction of 5% per cent. in wages. The strike affects about 50,000 workmen, but the | operators are confident that many of | their mines will be running within a few days.

Dees Not Eapect to Ever Be Presi<- dent but Will Reorganizse the Populist Party. Statesboro, Ga., Nov. 1—Thomas E. Watson, populist candidate for presi- Went, spoke here yesterday. He said in part: “We are not afraid of the negro, are we? We have him in the hollow of our hands and are going to keep him there. Have we not done everything to him in the south that we wanted to? The democrats have disfranchised him everywhere~ except in Georgia and here they were afraid of the populists. He is a veritable hellion on evéry other day except on election day. I care nothing about Parker but to get him out of the way and if the people will stand by me I will wipe Roosevelt off the earth in 1908. Parker is nothing and not much of that. He is the dog in the manger. He won't get in himself and won't let me in. You had just as well throw away your vote on me as on Parker. I never expect to be president, but I intend to reorganize the populist party that will elect a man some day.” SICKLES TO AID ROOSEVELT. Famous Civil War Veteran Presided at a Meeting of His Comrades in Cooper Union, New York, Nov. 1.—The Roosevelt end Fairbanks league of veterans of the civil war held a republican ratifi- cation meeting in Cooper Union last night, presided over by Gen.

King, Wallace Bruce and Col, John W. Vrooman, Gen. Sickles, in his introductory re- marks, said: “I am a democrat when I get a chance, but they make such platforms that I can’t stand for them, I was raised on the good old Thomas Jefferson principles, but I can’t find anywhere to-day the good old demo- cratic party of my fathers.” Gen, Howard said that some one had de- clared that the veterans wanted their hands in the treasury all the time. “The fact is,” he shouted, “that if it wasn't for the veterans there would not be any treasury!"

' ° % \ JAPS IN FINE TRIM.) ‘7 Sstz>2% 470 Heavy Reinforcements Enable Oy- ama to Resume the Offensive. FIGHTING ALONG THE WHOLE FRONT. Second Battle on the Shakhe Will Likely Prove Mach Bigger and More Bloody Than the First— Port Arthur in Bad Way. St. Petersburg, Nov. 1.—Everything indicates that both the Japanese and the Russian armies south of Mukden are ready for a resumption of hostili- ties, if indeed fighting has not already begun. Gen. Kuropatkin reports that the Japanese have received reinforce- ments from the south and Feng Wang Cheng. Their concentration seems to have been accomplished and they are ready to resume the offensive both east and west of the railroad. There is no official estimate of the strength of the Japanese reinforcements, but cor- respondents place it at from 40,000 to 60,000. It is believed thaat the Japa- nese force has been very largely aug- mented both from Port Arthur, where an engineering siege has been begun, and Japan, from whence it is under- stood every available man is being drafted. It seems to be assured that the Japanese will be able to meet Gen. Kuropatkin on almost if not quite an equal numerical footing, The mere fact that they are again threatening a double flanking movement indicates Field Marshal Oyama's confidence in the sufficiency of the force at his dis- posal, It is believed here that the second battle on the Shakhe river will prove to be as much bigger and more serious than the first, as the first was more serious than the battle of Liao Yang. Gen, Kuropatkin is confronted by an exceedingly difficult problem. He is pitted against a Japanese force strong- er, even despite its recent losses, than that opposing the southern advance. If Kuropatkin now succeeds in check- ing or. even breaking the Japanese formation it will open large possibility for the brief remainder of the present year's campaign. On the other hand a Russian reverse now would render the position exceedingly critical, Dispatches indicate the resumption of fighting on both extremities of the Russian front. The night of October 30 the Japanese attacked the Russian entrenchments east of Sinchinpu, but were repulsed, though the bombard- ment continued throughout the night. A Japanese advance has also begun against the Russian positions at Tun- ganon, 1% miles north of Bentsiaputze, where they encountered a heavy Rus- sian fire. Thus it appears that the Japanese are becoming aggressive along the whole front, from Bentsia- putze on the extreme east to Sinchin- pu, which is west of the Shakhe river, where that stream bends south after crossing the railroad, This probably constitutes the extreme Russian west, making the battle front about the same as when Gen. Kuropatkin began his southern movement. The latest reports from Port Arthur are by no means encouraging. Gen. Stoessel is mating a good defense, but the Japanese are approaching now by parallels confessedly close to important Russian fortifications, While this form of attack is less spectacular and less costly in men than repeated as- sault, is is no less conclusive in ulti- mate resulis, demanding a sleepless defense and being almost impossible to frustrate. Jap Spies in Various Diszuises. Harbin, Nov. 1.—The activity of Chi- nese bandits is increasing along the railroad, and the r m is swarming with Japanese spies in R nese and Evropean disgnis offering large rewards for the Chinese engaged in supplying the Russian com- ies, honing ths to cripple the Russian supply department. RUSSIA MUST PAY THE BILL British Commission Finds Sen Trawlers by Shells. Great London, Noy. 1.—Four commission- ers, representing the board of trade and owners, who were sent October 25, at the sv tion of the foreign office, to ascertain the damage done to the North sea trawlers by the Russian sec- ond Pacific squadron, have just re- turned and presented a verbal report confirming the reports that some of the trawlers were seriously damaged by shells and machine gun fire, while others suffered in a smaller degree. Trawls and fishing gear were destroyed or damaged, they say, and fragments of a four-inch shell which burst on the deck of the trawler Thrushand and many other evidences of the “deadly and wanton attack” were found, while the working efficiency of the whole fleet is seriously diminished in conse- quence of the crews being unnerved and unable to work with their accus- tomed energy.

San Francisco, Nov. 1.—Jimmy Britt, of California, lost the lightweight championship of the world last night when he fouled Joe Gans. He bad sent Gans to his knees in the fifth round and then los his head gave him a vicious punch and Referee Graney promptly awarded the decision to Gang on a foul, The same thing happened in the fourth round. Gans had dropped to his knees to escape a blow that did not land. Britt struck at him, but Graney would not allow the foul. In the next round, however, Graney promptly recognized the foul fighting. It looked almost from the start as if it were Britt's fight. He actually out- boxed Gans and landed blow after blow. In the fourth round it was ap- parent that Gans was scared and barring a foul the fight was Britt's to a certainty, While no excuse can be made for Britt losing his head, it certainly seemed that Gans invited a foul. The decision was a great shock to the big- gest crowd that ever filled the pavil- ¢ ion, but fair-minded men agreed that Graney’s judgment was just. CLASS SCRAPS HERE TO STAY.
