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. If
were 7,000.
A Chinaman who left the fortress
on Sept. 26 says that the Russian
losses were between E00 and 600.
This Chinaman says that the Japa
nese wre unable to remain in three
supplementary forts which they cap
tured and that they retired at 4 o'clock
on the afternoon of Sept. 26, 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 sides 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 idors
from the decomposing bodies and for
that reason thPy fire on the burial
lartles.

tacks were made on the supplemen
tary forts of the Itz and Anshu moun
tain forts. The Russians had under
mined the ground and several hundred
Japanese were blown up on Sept. 2S.
Young Tolstoi a Jingo.
Count Tolstoi's son, Leo, 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 ofT 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 tha Far
East. Young Tolstoi says the peas
ants are united In agreeing thnt tho
war must be fought out until Japan
Is subdued. He adds:
It is a hard time for Russia, hut It
is the period of her regeneration. The
war in the Far East Is a great war,
such as Russia hasiot 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 days of Peter it was for the -western
shores. Just 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 tho triumph of-Russia, which he
declares Is deftlnc-d "to become,. In
stead of England, the greatest nation
in tho world." 119 says tho Slavs will
spread over and absorb all the neigh
boring people they have already sub
jugated in the Crlmpa, the Caucasus,
Eastern Russia and Siberia, adding:
'Russia In lhi only power destined
tn realiv.o the dream of world con
finest." Dangnus Torpedo Afloat.

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 Btory of the city
lighting deal, for which he says a
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,"
ho 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,
end 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 tn 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. Louis, 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 eleel
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
Louts 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 at
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 $15)00 of the $50,
000 promised on condition that Kelly
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 bill
passed that body In the last quarter
of a century unless It was paid for.
We did not fear exposure and punish
ment. "When the present prosecutor (Cir
cuit Attorney Folk) commenced hie
war on us, we tried to intimidate htm
by threats of assassination and when
this had no effect we laid all sorts ol
traps for him, without success. Then
some 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 And nothing
after a thorough search to make at
tack on, libels were deliberately made
up for the purpose of affecting public
Bentlment. This plan was participat
ed In, not only by members of the
house of delegates under Indictment
for Doodling 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 our
votes. We went about it in a busi
ness like way and had combine meet
ings at stated times and fixed the
bribe price which we were to receive
for our votes, by a majority vote ol
the combine. Then we would select
ene of the combine In whose honesty
we had confidence, to go out and get
the money.
"Among ourselveB, understand, we
fad a high code of mora'.-, and it wat
considered extremely dishonest for a
member of the combine to accept
brlbo money without dividing it among
his follows."
Conspirators Gave Ball.
Trenton, N. J., Oct. . Julius S
Stone, Harry C. Qulntard, James Rusf
and Charles W. Russ, who were Joint
ly Indicted on a chargo of conspiracy
against tho United States government

ALONZO J. WHITEMAN.
While on His Way to Buffalo He Tale
graphed Dolson & Dolaon to
Act For Him.
Buffalo, Oct 4. The wellknown
legal firm of Dolson & Poison 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 J. Whlteman,
wanted on a charge of forgery, but
whose whereabouts are being diligent
ly sought by the Buffalo police and
Plnkerton 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 be reached Buffalo.
Later, Whlteman seems to have de
cided to trust to his own 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
falo detectlvo 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. 4. 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 flames 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.
8lx 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, presi
dent and manager of the Morgan Min
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 home In East Or
gan ge 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 16 years Mr. Dally was
employed In the Edison works and
seven years ago became assistant In
the X-ray experimental department,
where continuous exposure to the mys
terious 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 Settle Textile Strike.
Fall River, Mass., Oct. 4. The cot
ton manufacturers were presented
with a request that they meet the tex
tile union officials at a conference and
attempt to end the strike which has
been on since July 25. It Is under
stood that the manufacturers will

imous vote not to return to work un
less assurances were given that no
more than eight looms will be operat
