Efforts by the Russium: to retake positionscommanillngthe water fjpplj of Port Arthur have resulted in hard rghtlng, the losseu on both sld.ii be ing reported to Inve been heavy The Japanese retain, tho contested ground. It is said that heavy guns nowly mounted threaten the Russian war chips In the harbor of Port Aithm which may now be forced to go out and fnco the fleet of Admiral Togo. Tncre Is a report that a Japanese gunboat was sunk by coming in contact with a mine south of tho I.laotang peninsu la ; the report adds tha; a portion ol the crew were rescued. Field Marshal Oyama has begun the long expected advance upon tha Rus slan army at Mukden, and a colncl dent movement against Sinmlntln la tndlcatea by the fact that the Japa nese have occupied Slaoheyho, west of the Llao river. There Is a concen tration of Japanese forces in tho vi cinity of the Yental mines and the ad vance lines are being gradually pushed eastward. General Sakharoff In the dispatches to the war office at St. Petersburg re peats successes In several engage ments of a minor character. An undated dispatch from General Kuroki's hoadquarters reports that the present Japanese military organiza tion Is as efficient as it has been at any time since the war began. There Is no definite new from Port Arthur. Change In tho Russian mln- ktry of marine and In naval commands are announced on high authority. New head of the &nlralljr, it Is said, will be Vice Admiral Douhasoft, an of fleer of wide experience in war and the present head of (he tecV'nlcnl bureau of the ministry of marln?. Japs Fire on Burial Parties. Russians residing at Chefoo claim to have received Information that the Japanese losses In the last assault on Port Arthur which begun Sept. 1 were 7,000. A Chinaman who left the fortress on Sept. 2fi says that the Russian losses were between 500 and COO. This Chinaman says that the Japa nese were unable to remain In three supplementary forts which they cap tured and that they retired at 4 o'clock on the afternoon of Sept. 2G, after en during several days of tremendous firing from the Inner forts. He adds that the Russians attempt ed to bury the dead on both sldfs at night, because the decomposing bodies seriously menaced the health of the garrison. The Russians allege that It Is the deliberate policy of tho Jap anese to undermine the health of the Russian troops by means of the tdors from the decomposing bodies and for that reason they fire on the nurial parties. One Chinaman whj was a member of a burial party says that the Japa nese fired when he and other Chinese attempted to bury the dead. He adds that when the wind carries the odors toward the Japanese, the latter re tire. Chinese say that tlm most severe at tacks were made on the supplemen tary forts of the Itz and Anshu noun tain forts. The Russians had under mined the ground and several hundred Japanese were blown up on Sept.. 23 Young Tol&tol a Jingo. Count Tolstoi's son, Leu, in an article in the Novoe Vremya of St Petersburg, takes a position dia metrically opposed to his father's Ideas. He has Just returned from see ing off his brother, who is departing for the front, and writes of the touch Ing scenes he witnessed at Tamhofl as the reserve men left for the Far East. Young Tolstoi says the peas ants are united in agreeing that the war must be fought out until Japan Is subdued. He adds: It Is a hard time for Russia, but It Is the period of her regeneration. The war in the Far East Is a great war, such as Russia has not seen since the days of Peter the Great a war for the possession of the eastern shores of the European-Asiatic continent, Just as in the davs of Peter it was for the -west rn shores. Jflst as in the war with the Swedes we suffered at Narva, but we conquered at Poltava, we are now suffering reverses with the Asiatic Swedes; but there will come a day when Japan will be vanquished. In concluding, young Tolstoi pre dicts the triumph of Russia, which he declares Is destined "to beconio, In stead of England, tho greatest nation In the world." Ho says tho Slavs will spread over and absorb nil tho neigh boring people they have already sub Jugated In the Crimea, the Caucasus Eastern Russia and S:berla, adding: 'ItiiRf.ia hi the only power destined tn renli-'.o the dream of world con quest."

Kelly Relates Story of St. Louis Combine. Kelly Names a Politician Who Gave Him $15,000 to Keep Out of Reach of Grand Jury Plots to Intimidate and Discredit Circuit Attorney Folk. Price of Votes. St Louis, Oct. 4. In a written con fession Charles F. Kelly, speaker ol the house of delegates during a period in the life of the boodle combine, re lates the story of that combine. Kelly details the story of the cltv lighting deal, for which he says s boodle fund of $47,500 was divided be tween the 19 members of the combine at Julius Lehmann's birthday party. He declares that a go-between gave him the boodle fund and that he took It to Lehmann's house and that he there divided it "We had a fixed schedule of prices," he said, "for various bills, according to the value of the franchises or privi leges given. We hardly ever received less than $1,000 for the combined vote On one or two occasions, though, we got as low as $50 each for our votes, and some of the boys took $5 each. 'Our combine was not along party lines. Both Democrats and Repub licans belonged to It. My experience has been that boodlers Hue up accord ing to their own interests and not un der party standards. Democrats and Republicans In St. Louis usually nom inate men to go to the house of dele gates for the money they can make out of It. ''Each party man votes for his own fellow and either one that gets In serves those who rob the city of fran chises. I believe this has been tol erated In St Louts, because the heads of so many of the large corporations of the city used to think it less trouble to buy what they wanted than to elect honest men to the house of delegates. "There are many other things I can and will tell later on, but this will do now. This, in brief, Is my story and the confession of my infamy. I be lieve, though that If the people of St Louis allow this man (a prominent pol itician Is named) to go on and control both political parties and put his men In office, the public will be Just as guilty as I am today. "I am now suffering the penalty ol my crimes, am degraded and dis graced. I shall endeavor for the rest of my life to atcne for the wrongs 1 have done." Kelly declared that the politician he mentions paid him $157)00 of the $50,- 000 promised on condition that Kellj would keep away from tho grand Jury Kelly went to Europe, intending to re main until after the statute of limita tion had run out on the lighting deal By a miscalculation, Kelly said, he came back too soon and was arrested Kelly added: "I know from my own knowledge and from the statements made to me by those on the inside that bribery has been going on in the municipal assembly of St. Louis foi the past 25 years. Hardly a bll. passed that body in the last quartet of a century unless It was paid for. We did not fear exposurs and punish ment. "When the present prosecutor (Cir cuit Attorney Folk) commenced his war on us, we tried to Intimidate him by threats of assassination and when this had no effect we laid all sorts ol traps for him, without success. Then tome decided that the best plan would bo to start a newspaper and libel him so fiercely as to draw his fire by tak ing up his time In libel prosecuting, or if he did not, his influence would be weakened and destroyed. "Although we could find nothing after a thorough search to make at tack on, libels were deliberately made up for the purpose of affecting public sentiment. This plan was participat ed In, not only by members of the house of delegates under Indictment for boodling but by prominent finan ciers of St. Louis who feared exposure and by those who gave ua the money." Of the combine, Kelly had this to say: "We never thought of passing a bill out of which any money could be ob tained, unless we were paid for out votes. We went about it In a busl ness like way and had combine meet lngs at stated times and fixed the bribe price which we were to receive for our votes, by a majority vote of the combine. Then we would select one of the combine In whose honesty we had confidence, to go out and get the money. "Among ourselves, understand, wt rad a high code of moraX and It was considered extremely dishonest for a member of the combine to accept bribe money without dividing It among his follows." Conspirators Gave Ball. Trenton, N. J., Oct. v Julius S Stone. Hurry C. Qnlntard, Janiea Rusf and Charles W. Russ, who were Joint ly Indicted on a chnrgo of conspiracy against, the United States government and prejudlco against tho government steamship inspect ion laws by placing pieces of iron inside of cork life pre servers, pleaded not guilty today and gave ball.

The wellknown legal firm of Dolson & Dolson In EM cott square has been asked to defend a client who does not appear to re quire the services of an attorney Just at the present time. The client Is Alonzo .1. Whlteman, wanted on -a charge of forgery, but whose whereabouts are being diligent ly sought by the Buffalo pollc and Pinkerton detectives. About 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon the firm received a dispatch from and evidently sent while en route to this city. The dispatch stated that Whlteman had no personal acquaint ance with the Buffalo attorneys, but that they had been recommended to him by a couple of Judges of his ac quaintance and he wished them to act for him in the legal difficulties In which he expected to become Involved as soon as he reached Buffalo. Later, Whlteman seems to have de cided to trust to his ovn efforts to keep clear of prison, as he broke away from the officers at Dunkirk and es caped. The report that Alonzo J. Whlteman boarded a ship at Philadelphia has proved unfounded. No trace of the fugitive has been secured. The Buf- ftlo defective from whom he escaped has been suspended from duty.

For 10 years Mr. Dally was employed In the Edison works and seven years ago became assistant In the X-ray experimental department whero continuous exposure to the inys terlons power of the rays Induced the cancerous growth on his hands which finally caused his death, after Intense suffering, and the successive amputa tion of both his arms.
