Russian Losses In Seven Days
Battle Nearly 40,000.
Weekly Trade Review Fatal Fall
From an Apple Tree Millionaire!
In Politics Mr. Cleveland to Pre
I aide New Postmaster General
; Stallion Sold For $70,000.
At the close of the seventh consec
utlve day or fighting between Mukden
at.d Llao Yang the battle was still
raging, the Russians offering stub
horn resistance to the fierce on
plHiights of the Japanese. The eacri
flee of life has been appalling, est!
mates of the Russian losses alone It)
killed end wounded at the end of the
Mxth day's lighting belrg concededlj
3(i.000. while It sesms not ImprouabU
that they aggregalo at that time 40,
U0G.
Japanese official reports estimate
that 10.000 Russian dead were left on
the fluid or battle up to the night ol
Oct. 14, and claim that, the Japanese
losses are small by comparison with
those of the Russians.
General Kuropatkin's report to Em
peror Nicholas depicts the desperate
character or the fighting and praisos
Iho valor or the troops, indicating,
however, that he Is hard pressed with
the result still In tho balance. All
hope or succoring Port Arthur this sea,
son hail been abandoned.
St. Petersburg has an unconfirmed
report that tho Japanese General Nod
u hns been seriously wounded. A
question or Interest In St. Petersburg
Is the rate or General Kuropatkln as a
factor In the Uussinn military situa
tion. The battle was continued throughout
Sunday, being especially heavy at
midnight. The Russians retain thei:
position along the Shakhe river and
have made frequent attacks upon the
Japanese, capturing six of the lat.ters
guns. The eastern army Is helping
the western rorces. Thero was a
heavy artillery lire Sunday. The
fighting is now centered on the plain.
The official veil hns beon lifted from
the ghastly tragedy around Shakhe;
b.it even tho official account supple
mented by press dispatches leaves
much uncertainty as to the situation
Out or fragmentary mass or inrorma
tlr.n at hand It is possible only to con
elude that tho costly withdrawal and
retreat irom Llao Yang Is being du
plicated upon an even grander scale,
tiiter more desperate fighting and
heavier losses.
Goneral Kuropatkin's story leaves
the Russians still tenaciously holding
the north bank of the Shakhe river,
hut the general belief Is this Is only
the desperate finale of one of tho
preatest military dramas or history
nnd that the Russian army as a whole
U retiring toward Mukden, having sur
fered at the most conservative esti
mate a loss of over 30,000.
Or the left dank, which was one of
the most Important points In the line
of battle, absolutely nothing Is heard
which leaves the Inference that It Is
not In a position to communicate with
the remainder of the army All the
wounded are being carried to Harbin
further north It Is undetstood that
the correspondents also hav' been or
dered to Harbin, which Indicates that
the retreat will not even stop at Tie
nnss.
The latest reports from the battle
nre of Sunday afternoon and evening,
when the Russians were carrying on a
heavy rearguard fight, evidently re
tiring on Mukden. Generals Oku and
Nodzu were concentrating for another
blow on the Russian right, where thu
fighting Is described as having been
furious. General Nod?.u Is reported to
have been wounded seriously, but this
tannot he confirmed.
Mukden Itself remains quiet. The
railway station Is congested with
trains of wounded proceeding to Har
bin. The hospital facilities are com
pletely overtaxed. Six thousand
wounded arrived at Mukden on Sat
urday alone. The heroic surgeons and
Mirsefi, many of whom have been with
out sleep for 3fi hours, are ready to
drop with fatigue.
Tha Russian advance has been con
verted Into a stubbornly-fought re
treat. The result, according to the
Russians, Is still to bo determined.
Reports from the Russian left wing
are lacking, leaving room for ques
tion If that part, of General Kuropat
kin's army Is not in worse extremity
than the center and right were at any
stage of the battle.
On both siden the soldiers have
shown tho utmost tenacity and brav
ery end whole regiments have gone
down before the firo of the enemy. In
ofilcipl circles of St. Petersburg there
Is a disposition to argue that even
phouM General Kuropatkln bo obliged
to retlro upon Mukden his position
will bo quite as favorable as It was
when the order to odvanco was given
on Oct. C, and that on the other han.l
the Japanese powers ot future resist
ance will have been materially weak
ened. There Is no. news from Port
Arthur.
Freer Buying From Jobbers.
Dradstreet's summary of the state
of trade says:
Despite Irregularities, due to warm
weather conditions or to reductions
In crop movement, trade as a whole
maintains a satisfactory volume.
Nothing or a boom character Is to be
noted but many lines show gains
over the corresponding perivl of 1903,
confirmation of this being found In
best on record September railway earn
ings and clearings enlarged over last
October's veckly totals.
The better than expected corn and
wheat crop outturns, favored by ex
ceptionally warm weather for this sea
son of the year, has Induced freer
buying from Jobbers In the Central
West and Northwest.
Eastern trade also reflects unsea
sonable weather In Its effect upon cur
rent demand for rail and winter wear
goods, but there Is, In addition, a
backwardncrs In demand for dry
goods, notably cottons, attributed to
conservative buying, based upon the
uncertainties surrounding raw cotton
goods prices.

MR. FAIRBANKS IN TROY
With Lieutenant Governor Hig
gins Addressed Big Meeting.
Benator Fairbanks Alluded to Deprea
ion of 1903 Disputed Statements
of Judge Parker on the Philippine
Question Mr, Higglnt Said Booki
of State Administration Are Open.
Troy, N. Y., Oct. 18. Troy RepubH
cans gave United States Senatoi
Charles W. Fairbanks, the Republlcat
candidate for vice president, and Lieu
tenant Governor Frank W. Higglns
the candidate for governor of thli
state, a rousing welcome here last
night. Harmony hall, where the meet
lng was held, was built to hold about
400 people, but It was packed beyond
the danger point with a most enthua
iastic crowd, of which probably one
half were women.
Former Governor Frank S. Black ol
Troy presided. Senator Fairbanki
kept his audience In good humor witt
frequent witty sallies.
He dwelt at length upon the Indus
trlaf depression following the cam
palgn of 1892, and cited Coxey's "pa
thotic army" as a fitting symbol 01
"triumphant Democracy."
Senator Fairbanks devoted specia
attention to Judge Parker's recent
speech on the Philippine question. He
disputed particularly the statement
attributed to Judge Parker which he
quoted as follows: "After our uttei
defeat of the Spaniards, tho Republl
can administration paid to the vain
oppressor of the unconquered Fillplnc
$20,000,000 for this uncertain optior
upon Its victim's land, tenements and
hereditaments. In the attempt to hoi
ster the option, we have wasted there
$050,000,000 more or the people's mon
ey, and sacrificed 200,000 lives."
This statement Senator Fairbanki
declared was unsupported by the pub
11c records or the government. "1'p to
the 30th or last June," said he "a to
tal or 122.401 enlisted men and 4,0G?
officers were sent Into the Philippines
If all the enlisted men and officers had
died In the archipelago, the total num
ber would have fallen short of the
number of lives alleged to have been
sacrificed, by nearly 75.000. The
record of total casualties, of ever
kind and description, up to the 30tt
of June last, amounted to 4,924. Ol
this number 4,769 were enlisted mer
and 155 officers."
"The casualties among the constalml
ary of the Islands, of all kinds, have
been about 600, about 100 of whom
were Americans. Even the casualties
among the Filipinos, added to those
among the Americans would constitute
but a small fraction of the losses es
tlmated by the opposition. We should
bear In mind the fact that many of the
casualties which have occurred have
been caused by the encouragement
held out to the Insurgents by tho op
position. They were led to resist the
assertion of the sovereignty of the TTnl
ted States by the hope of Democratic
success.
"It Is estimated by the war depart
ment that the total expenditures dc
not exceed $200,000,000 or some $470.
000.000 less than the estimate of the
opposition. We should bear In mind
the coRt of maintaining the civil ad
ministration In the Philippines It
home from the Insular treasury, and
not from the treasury of the United
States"
Assemhylman Arthur C!. Wade ol
Chautauqua, the last speaker, ridi
culed the record of the Democratic
party, .nnrMcnlarly Its Insistence upon
the constitution, seeking to show thai
It had slwnvs been the leal enemy ol

MASS MEETING IN NEW YORK.
Judge Herrlck Thinks Independent
Voters Will Decide the Election.
New York Oct. 18. A mass meeting
was held in Madison Square Garden
lust night under auspices of the Man
hallan Democratic Reform and Parkei
Constitution clubs. Mayor G. B. Mc
Clellan was the chairman of the meet
lng and spoke on national Issues, crlt
Iclslng the " extravagrant admlnistra
tion."
Letters of regret were read from
Mayor P. A. Collins of Boston and Carl
Schurz.
D-Cady Herrlck, the Democratic
gubernatorial candidate was tendered
nn enthusiastic reception.
Judge Herrlck opened his speech b
contrasting the national Issues of the
two parties. Believing that tho Inde
pendent voters or Greater New York
will determine tho election In this
state, ho said ho would appeal to the
Independents and to party men who
rofuso to bo led by selfish leaders
Taking up state Issues, the judge
said:
"If you approvo of the conduct ol
state affairs for the last ten years
then vote for the present governor's
state ticket. My adversary has been
a part of that administration, and Cov
ernor Odell approves of It. If you ap
prove or the savings bank tax, then
vote Tor my adversary. He voted fui
It and voted against IU repsal. If you
approve of paying contractors for
b.astlng and excavating rock where
sand and earth were shovelled; If you
want the one hundred and one millions
of dollars voted hv you for canal Im
provements squandered and wasted na
was the nine million, then vote for my
adversary. If you want the expend
iture of that money watched with
JcbIjuh care, then elect a board of c
nal officer of opposite political faith
to tho present governor's canal offi
cials." ,
The speaker took up the abolition of
the various unpaid boards of managers
of the various state Institutions; the
establishment of the office of the fis
cal supervisor of state charities; the
failure, through the governor's vetoes,
to provide suitable accommodations
for the feeble minded, and the diver
sion of the Eastern reformatory from
Us original purposes to a prison con
trolled by the superintendent of state
prisons, and In politics, and ho said
that if elected he should urge the pas
sage of appropriate legislation to
remedy those abuses.
DISMISSED FROM OFFICE.
Inspector Removed Following Report
of Slocum Investigation.
Washington, Oct. 18. President
Roosevelt hag removed from office
Robert S. Rodle, supervising Inspec
tor of the steamboat inspection ser
vice, Second district, located at New
York. Thl action was taken on ac
count of the disclosures In the report
of the national commission appointed
to Investigate the General Slocum dis
aster.
In accordance with the president's
direction, and In consonance with the
recommendations of the Slocum com
mission. Secretary Metcalf of the de
partment of commerce and labor has
taken preliminary steps towards the
removal of James A. Dumont, Inspec
tors of hulls, and Thomas H. Barrett,
Inspector of boilers, both of the port
of New York. Statements of charges
against them have been forwarded to
tbern.
The charges are based on the find
ings of the commission which Investi
gated the disaster to the General Slo
cum. They are charged with neglect
of duty, incompetency and Inefficiency.
They will be required, under the civil
service regulations, to make answer
to the charges within a "reasonable
time," the precise tlmo being left to
the discretion or Secretary Metcalf.
It Is expected that the answers of
both Dumont and Barrett will be re
ceived by Secretary Metcalf this week.
It was not known to President
Roosevelt until late yesterday that Su
pervising Inspector Rodle was the
holder of a presidential office. It was
supposed by the president when he
wrote his letter to Secretary Metcalf
on the Slocum report that Rodle was
an appointee or the secretary of com
merce and labor. For that reason ho
directed the secretary, In that letter,
to take steps for the removal or Rodle
Eumont and Barrett As soon as he
learned that Rodle held a presidential
office, he gavo directions that removal
papers be sent to him at once from
the department of commerce and la
bor. He signed them and Mr. Rodle will
be notified that he has been removed.
Further carrying Into effect the rec
ommendations of the Slocum com
mission, Secretary Metcalf has called
a meeting or the steamboat Inspectors
of the country to be held In Wasnlng
ton on the 25th Inst, when the needs
of the service will be considered
thoroughly, and, In accordance with
the president's directions, such
chonges will be made In the regula
tions In the service as are recommend
ed by the Slocum commission.
Disclosures as to Adulterated Drugs.

the release on a suspended sentence
or Clarence E. Lyon, a drug clerk who
had pleaded guilty to selling a bogus
article representing it to bo genuine,
George Gordon Battle, counsel ror the

enn information which probably would
result In startling disclosures In con
nection with tho alleged drug frauds
In this city. Mr. Battle said that
Lyon already had given information
about the persons responsible for
nearly nil the Imitations of wellknown
drug articles In the country. "If he
keeps his word, as I believe he will,"
said ho, "one of the most startling an
nouncements affecting drug stores In
this city and country will be made in
a few day. The people concerned
are some of the biggest, most respect
ed and responsible In the business."
