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."
Dannerous Torpedo Afloat.
Two torpedoes wero lost from the
United States submarine boat Tike,
which has been experimenting in San
Pablo bay under the direction of Lieu
tenant McArthur. One has been re
covered by Italian fishermen. The
other Is still at large and may be ex
ploded by a passing vessel. A reward
of $250 Is offered for Its recovery.
The one already recovered had lost
Its compressed air and was practlcilly
harmless.

BOODLER'S CONFESSION
Charles F. 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."

ALONZO J. WHITEMAN.
While on Hla Way to Buffalo He Tela
graphed Dolson & Dolson to
Act For Him.
Buffalo, Oct. 4. 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.
POWDER MILL EXPLOSION.
Two Men Killed and Roof and Sides of
Building Blown Away.
Scranton, Pa., Oct. 1 By an ex
plosion In the corning mill of the Du-
pont-DeNomous Powder company's
plant, near Peckvllle, two men met In
stant death. They were: Richard
Hassey of Jessup and Walter Alls-
worth of Olyphant.
The roofs and sides of the building
were blown away and the mill took
fire. The employes of tho other mills
nearby soon had the Hames under con
trol. This Is the fifth time these mills
have blown up in a period of 20 years
and four times within the last four
years, always with fatal results.
8ix Men Buried In Landslide.
Cartersvllle, Ga., Oct. 4. By the
falling of earth and ore estimated at
1,000 tons weight, four men lost their
lives near here. Two other men are
expected to die.
The dead are: R. P. Morgan, presl
dent and manager of the Morgan Mln
Ing company of Cartersvllle and James
Harris, Jr., and two negroes.
The cause of the disaster was what
Is known by miners as a "slick head."
A heavy stratum of oil lay above a
mass of clay and the latter gave way.
Mr. Morgan has relatives In New
York and Boston.
A Martyr to Science..
Orange, N. J., Oct. 4. Clarence M.
Dally Is dead at his homo in East Or
gauge from the effects of a cancerous
growth resulting from long continued
persistence In experimenting with X-
ray apparatus In tho Edison labora
tory. The history of his case shows
him to have been a martyr to science
to his devotion to the solution of the
mysteries of the X-ray and fluoro-
ocope. 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.
Attempt to 8ettle Textile Strike.
Fall River. Mass.. Oct. 4. The cot
ton manufacturers were presented
with a request that they meet the tex

attempt to end the strike which has

stood that the manufacturers will

more than eight looms will be operat
