PETERSBURG, Oct. 5, 1:15 a. m. Official advices from the Far East given out this morning describe a se- ries of skirmishes on the southern front of General Kuropatkin's army, the only importance of which lies in the fact| that the Japanese are showing a dispo- sition to press forward and feel out the Russian position.

General Grippenberg, recently ap- pointed to the command of the second Manchurian army, will be received by Emperor Nichalas at Peterhof to-day. Tt is understood that the third divi sion of the Guards, stationed at War- saw, is under orders to go to the front. This, with the second division of the and_the rifle brigade of the Guards, stafjdned in and around St. Petersburg, will make altogether about 40,000 Guards who have been ordered to the Far East. There were recurrent‘rumors to-night of the fall of Port Arthur, but they have not the slightest foundation. -~ PLEDGED TO SECRECY. TOKIO, Oct. 4, 10 a. m.—Lieuten- ant Granville R. Fortescue, an Amer- ican attache, who -was with the be- sieging forces at Port Arthur, has ar- rived at Tokio en route to Washing- ton. He will sail on the steamship Doric.

TOKIO, Oct. 5.—The Navy Depart- ment discredits the reports that the Russian cruisers Rossia, Gromoboi and Bogatyr have been repaired at Viadivostok and are about to descend for another raid on the Japanese coast. The Navy Department further ex- presses the belief that the Bogatyr is completely disabled. Red Cross Magazine. MUKDEN, Oct. 4.—Arrangements have been perfected for the issue of a special illustrated Red Cross Magazine at Christmas., All the war correspond- ents and artists, including the Ameri- can correspondents, have agreed to contribute. HOFMANN SOARS TO HEIGHTS IN CHOPIN RECITAL PRt Josef Hofmann told me yesterday that if he had the choice he would give bnly prograjnmes that represented his mood, classical, romantic, modern, as the case might be. The pianist was distinetly in romantic mood last night, when he gave the first of his three re- citals of the week. The Alhambra was' not crowded, but aftér the player’s; Chopin group one did not miss a,thou- sand or so people out of the applause.’ Until he came to it_one had felt ever so little of matter-of-factness in the atmosphere. With- the scherzo that crowned the group one saw the won- derlands. 4 I have not before heard Mr. Hofmann play in this wise. I have never before heard the scherzo so played. It had the supreme temperamental beauty, the depth, exaltation, passion, that the Dianist to me has always fallen just short of. It was memorable in the fashion that Harold Bauer's Schumann { Currency vancing but Aye Preparing for Defensive Operations SEha TR Correspondent at Mukden Says Chinese Bandits Fol- low the Rising Sun Banner BERLIN, Oct. 4—Colonel Gaedke, the Tageblatt’s correspondent in the Far East, telegraphs from Mukden that the Japanese apparently are no longer advancing, but are preparing for de- fensive operations. LONDON, Oct. 5.—According to the Morning Post's correspondent at Muk- den, Chinese bandits, organized into regular troops, are fightipg daily side by side with the Japanese on their - west flank. LONDON, Oct. 5.—The Japanese Le- | gation here has issued a denial of the statement that 'fifty-seven junks, car- rying ammunition for the Hun River, have been ourned by the Russians. The Dafly Telegraph's correspondent at Chefu reports that a flerce gale is raging in the Yellow Sea and that the Japanese torpedo fiotilla has been com- pelled to seek shelter after having sus- tained much damage. —_——— PARKER IS KEPT BUSY. Democratic Leaders P4y Respects to Presidential Candidate. NEW YORK, Oct. 4,—More promi- nent Democrats to-day called upon Judge Parker than on any previous day since the St. Louis convention. In the I'st were such men as James H. Eckels of Chicago, Comptroller of the N. under Cleveland; G Morgan of Connecticut, Treasurer the United States understhe same ad- ministration; Robert Van Wyck, former Mayor of New York; Con- gressman W. R. Hearst, Senators Bacon and Stone, Capt R. P. Hob- son of Alabama, W. R. Mc¢Clean, Na- tional Committeeman from Ohio, and others equally prominent. Polls have been completed by the Democratic Committee in all the doubtful States and the results have been reported to Judge Parker. Three polls have been made in Indiana, and it is announced that it is now p to take an accurate poll in one day. Further than the statement that th polls show a condition most satisfac- tory., nothing could be obtained at Judge Parket's headquarters concern- ing the result. T TAKES TURN AT ORATORY. David B. Hill Addresses Democrats of Albany. ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 4.—David B. Hill made his first speech in the Dem- ocratic campaign to-night before the Albany Constitution Club in the Hu- mane Society hall. The Young Men's Democratic Club marched to the hall in a body and there was a large at- tendance of Albany Democrats. The speech was devoted to an attack upon the course pursued by President Roosevelt in connection with the Pan- ama canal treaty and the revolution which resulted in the secession of Panama from the republic of Colom- bia. Hill declared that the Republi- can platform adopted at Chicago did not commend the “big stick” diplo- macy of Presidenf Roosevelt. It merely said that the possaession of a route is now an accomplished fact and that work on a canpal “is at last begun and it is due to the Repyblican party.” The essence of the reproach of the President made in the Democratic na- is that he has, as President, been in the sense of American law and internatiopal law. The Dem- ocratic platform intended to assert that President Roosevelt did in the Panama affair violate plain treaty ob- ed, “lawless” ligations, plain international usages and the constitution of the United States. ———— .« DODGES RACE QUESTION. Parker Refuses to Be Interviewed About Colored Voters. NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—Alton B. Parker was asked this question to- night: “In view of the activity of the Par- ker Constitutional Club, which is ac- cusing President Roosevelt of violat- ing the constitution, do you believe the coloréd vote of the South will be allowed to have the voting privileges' which the constitution guarantees ‘to them?” “I cannot answér that question,” Parker said. “I. refuse to be inter- viewed. I won’t be. If you had done me the honor to read my letter of ac- ceptance you would have found that 1 have covered that question.” Py st Knight to Speak in New York. - NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—The list of speakers for the Republican mass meeting that will be held under the auspices of the Republican Club at Madison Square Garden on the night of October 19 includes Vice Presiden- playing is memorable of, Jike lyric fascination. Engaging as ever with his boyish smile and modest, awkward little bow, Hofmann walked on to a lovely and brilliantly logical reading of the E mi- nor prelude and Fugue of Mendelssohn. Scarlatt!, with his PdStorale (E minor) and Capriscio (E major), given with delicate, whimsical grace, followed, and then came the Waldstein Sonata. Mr. Hofmann is in splendid technical form this year—as always. Nowhere, not even in that technical debauch that ended the programme, the Liszt “Don Juan,” was this more in evidence than in the Waldstein. But the pianist was not in his full best Beethoven mood. Hypercriticism awag, however, the de- mand for that absolutism of sympathy that marked his Chopin stuff, ‘twas a regal rendering. The Chopin group included the Noc- turne in E flat major—the other one, its intertwining melodies most subtly limned; the E minor valse, the rarest of fantasy; the Berceuse, a Mazurka and the immortal scherzo. Encored lustily, ‘the pianist gave splendidly the F sharp major impromptu. 1 ' A modern group closed the pro- gramime, with Sternberg, Rubinstein, Leschetitzky, Liszt and Hofmann him- self represented. Hofmann’s contribu- tion was his tone paean, “Through the Clouds,” deftly fashioned, with a cap- tivating melody, surrounded by a nim- bus of arpeggi. He declined an encore ‘n;on-ow night the next recital will Iven. BLANCHE PARTINGTON. ——— Fairbanks, Secretary of the ¥reasury Leslie M. Shaw and Hon. George A. Knight of California.

Delegates from the great countries of | the globe, all prominent in their home lands, engaged in the proceedings, giv- ing to the occasion all the dignity and importance of a momentous interna- tional assembly. il A feature of the opening session was the receipt of an elaborate report from the International Peace Bureau for 1904, in which was reviewed what had been attained in the direction of peace by the peace workers of the world during the vear just passed, and also was set forth the present conditions of the world necessitating correctionary measures by those desiring the establishment of uni- versal concord. The suggestion was made that some collective move might be made to induce the Russo-Japanese belligerents to return to peace. 1 Edwin D.

A short time ago we published an ar- ticle recommending to our readers the new discovery for the cure of Dyspep- sia, called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and the claims then made regarding the wonderful curative properties of the remedy have been abundantly sus- tained by the facts. People who were cautious about trying new remedies advertised in the newspapers and were finally induced to give Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets a trial were surprised and delighted at the results. In many cases a single package costing but 50 cents at any drug store made a com- plete cure and in every instance the most beneficial results were reported. From a hundred or more received we have space to publish only a few of the latest, but assure our readers we receive so many commendatory letters that we shall publish each week a fresh list of genuine, unsolicited testimo- nials and never publish the same one twice. From James Yemmeisler, La Crosse, Wis.: Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are doing me more good than anything I ever tried and I was so pleased at re- sults that I gave away several boxes to my friends, who have also had the same benefits. From Jacob Anthony, Portmurray, New Jersey: I have taken Stuart's best re- sults. I had Dyspepsia for 6 years and had taken a great deal of medicine, but the Tablets seem to take right a I am a farmer and lime burner and I heartily recom- mend to everyone who has any troubla with his stomach to use these Tablets. From Mrs. M. K. West, Preston, Minn.; I have received surprisingly good effects from using Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets. I gave one-half of my last box to a friend who also suffered from indigestion and she had the same good results. From Mrs. Agnes K. Ralston, Cadil- lac, Mich.: I have been taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and I am very much better, and feel very grateful for the great benefit I have received in so short a time. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are a cer- tain cure for all forms of Indigestion. They are not claimed to be a cure-all, but are prepared for stomach troubles only, and physicians and druggists everywhere recommend them to all per< sons suffering from Nervous Dyspep- t sia, sour or acid stomach, heartburn, bloating or wind on stomach and simi- lar disorders.
