PRACTICAL POLITICS IN LIMERICK
Impaction of VoCnf LUti Shnwi that
tho Registration Has Bern
Padded to a Great
Extent.
Dl'BLIN, Oct. 8 (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) Mr. Mlchaol Davitt has tent to
tlx Press association a denial of the state
ments which have been made about the
governing body of the United Irish leagu
by Mr. Jeremiah Howard, chairman of the
Cork county council and head of the Cora
alty executive of tho leugue. Mr. Davitt
rebukes Mr. Howard In language of severe
aareasm, whlc'i must tend to attain atll!
further the already strained relations be
tween the governing body of the league
and the nationalist of Ireland. Indeed, It
la difficult to sec how these relations can
full to develop Into a rathe. aerloua po
litical "split" between north and south. A
good deal will depend on the speech which
Mr. William O'Brien has promised to de
liver at Cork. Indication are not wanting
tliut many representative nationalists In
Munster are now more In sympathy with
the program of the Irish Reform associa
tion than wl'.h that of the United Irish
league. An expresa'on of Mr. O'Brien's
view's on Lord Dunraven's movement la
everywhere awaited with great Interest.
The Irish Times In urging upon Dublin
unionists the Importance of having the
Parliamentary registers In a sound condi
tion, says that the danger of Irish unionism
la not ao much In the direct triumph of
home rule undr the auspices of a radical
government us in Its Indirect Introduction
Under tha apparently Innocent gvJlse of an
extension of local government with the
connivance of a unionist ministry. To try
to prevent this and to Insure that any
scheme of "devolution" which may be pro
posed shall be thoroughly examined in all
tta bearings before being allowed to pas
through the House of Commons, it la neces
sary that as many unionist members us
possible shall be returned from Ireland.
The gain or loss of a couple of seats at the
next general election will have a moral
ffeot upon English opinion quite out of
proportion to Its direct bearing upon the
balance of purlins.
Tha City of Dublin Orand Orange lodge,
fct Its last meeting, adopted tha following
resolution:
That' we, the members of the City of
Dublin Orand Orange lodge, representing
the opinions of the Protestants of Ireland,
liureb declare our unalterable opposition
to the Duuraven scheme of devolution In
the government of Ireland, it being a plan
engineered by the under secretary for Ire
land for foisting home rule on the loyalists
of Ireland. And we appeal to the Protestant
electors of the United Kingdom to free us
from the ultramontane rule at present en
forced at Dublin castle, whereby loyal citt
erns are assailed and deprived of their Just
rights at the Instigation of disloyal men.
O'Brien Hay Return.
CORK, Oct. . (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The Cork executive of tha
United Irish league held a special meeting
this week under tha presidency of the lord
mayor. The proceedings threw an Inter
esting light upon recent developments in
Irish politics. The period of Mr. William
O'Brien's political effacemeut Is apparently
about to end and the majority section of
Um league are not to be any longer given
tree Ueld in which to develop their policy
antagonistic to that of the land confer
ence report. Mr. O'Brien last week held a
private conference In Limerick with repre
sentative nationalist leaders in the south
of Irtlurd and the lord mayor announced
thla week that the resolutions submitted
iv ere heartily approved by Mr. O'Brien.
One of these dealt with the appointment
of an advisory committee to fucllllate
tha working of the land purchase act In
accordance with the terms of the land
conference report and to assist in tho
abolition of landlordism upon terms Juki
and favorable to all. Another resolutlou
reads:
"Without In any manner binding our
selves to tho particular views set forth
In the program of the Irish Reform asso
ciation, we ball its establishment with
aympathy as a proof of the continuance
and development among those clusttes of
cur countrymen who have hitherto held
aloof from us of that spirit which has al
ready led to such happy results In the di
rection of the abolition of landlordism by
common consent, and which we brlievo to
be capable of attaining still wider exten
sion In the direction of a nations; parlia
ment of our own, and we express our grati
fication at the statesmanlike spirit In which
Mr. Redmond has greeted the establish
ment of the new association."
Commenting on the fact that Mr. Davitt
disagreed with Mr. Redmonl about Lord
Dunraven'a assoclutlor, Mr. Howard, chair
man of the county council, said It was
auftlcent to say that the Times and the
yellow press of England and lrelanl agreed
with Mr. Davitt In order to condemn his
attitude.
i "Floaters In Limerick."
LIMERICK, Oct. 8.-(Spcclal Cablegram
to Tha Bee.) Judge Adams has begun th?
revision of tha Parliamentary voters' lists
for the city of Limerick, and the proceed
ings disclosed an extraordinary attempt
to pack tha registry with voters not en
titled to the franchise. There were clone to
8.000 claims to be placed on the lodger
franchise, and Mr. Qoffney, solicitor,
who appeared to oppose the claims In the
Dock ward, aald that ninety out of every
100 were fraudulent and toe whole thing
a huge farce. He gave lumerou In
atances In support of his atatement how
claims were made by persons as lodgers In
houses the rent of which did not exceed
Is a week and In the names of persona
not aven residents In the ward or In the
city. Judge Adams said that on Mr. Gaff
liey'a atatement the subject was one for
grave Inquiry and that In future the town
clerk should object to such claims as the
law prescribed. The custom has been not
to do so until attention was recently di
rected to the matter by the revising bar
risters In Dublin. In one wnrd his honor
dealt with some 177 lodger claims and al
lowed only six.

DISCUSS THE PREMil'' t US
Trade t nlcnUti . -n
ttaestlo-
U -
LONDON. V1 .(Special Cablegram to
the Bee.) T. ..ie unionist throughout the
country are divided over the merits of
the "premium bonus system, " whereby
"hustlers" can earn more money than
their slower fellow-workmen.
While the Genera! Federation of En
gineering and Shipbuilding trades has
declared in emphatic terms ngilnst tho
syMem, the Manchester district officers of
the Amalgamated Society of Engineers are
endeavoring to compel one of the local
engineering firms to continue the system
In connection with their machine workers.
The bonus scheme was first adopted by
this firm two years apo, with the consent
of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers,
and the Employers' federation on condi
tion that when once It was adopted they
should continue It, and not abandon it
becuuso it d'd not benefit them so much
as they had anticipated.
' After keeping the system In operation
for two years, the firm founJ that, with
the restrictions the engineers had agreed
to, the t;tm was not a profitable one,
and they desired to abandon it. But tho
district ofllcers of the Amalgamated
Society of Engineers objected, and the
matter is still undecided.
Officials of various labor organizations In
London are rejoicing over the rejection
of the bonus scheme.
Alderman George Dow, L.C.C, the presi
dent labor leader, said he looked upon it
as a machine fcr getting more work out
of the workers principally for the benefit
of the capitalist. Under the operation
the tendency of the muster would be to lead
the quickest men out of the trade union
altogether.
Mr. Jumps MacDonald, the secretary of
the London Trade council, said he wa
against tha "hustlers" bonus because it
Induced men to sclmp their work. "A
man has a right," said he, 1 to do a proper
amount of work, but not to kill himself."
The acting secretary of the Amalgamated
Society of Carpenters and Joiners, said
his union was opposed to bonuses.
"The charges brought against us," he
added, "of trying to limit the output are
untrue. A great deal has been said about
the bonus system being American. I don't
think It exists at all is the building trades
In America.'
Inquires In Davenport dockyard show
a general unanimity of opinion in favor
of time bonuses. The heads of depart
ments have found that It works most
satisfactorily. If the skilled laborers of
the yard chose to uphold the federation
they could easily be replaced by nonunion
men In the present depressed state of
shipbuilding.
In Portmouth dockyard the system has
been working for six months fairly sitls
factorlly, though the men compluln thut
the admiralty do not pay them for the
whole of the time they save, but retain
a small proportion of what has been
earned. They also Bay that the time limits
are too short.
Briefly put, the permlum bonus system
allows the employer to pay bonuses- to
workmen who "hustlo." A time-limit Is
fixed for a certain Job, and its price
calculated on the number of hours it
should take. An expert workman who
executes the work In less time gets half
wages for every hour he saves aa the time
fixed.
For example, a certain Job Is estimated
to take fifty hours. A workman "hustlen,"
and executes It In forty hours. He there
fore receives forty hour's pay, and half
pay for the ten hours' ha has saved. Thus
the workman get five hours' wages for
which he has not worked, and the em
ployer eaves five hour wages which
It was estimated would have had to be
puld for the Job.
Such a system, say the committee of the
Engineering and Shipbuilding Trade fed
eration, means that tho pace in the work
shop is set by the best workmen, and
the weaker men have to go to tha wall.

Downfall.
PARIS, Oct. 8. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) M. Mouthon of the Matin gives
an interesting account of a atatement made
to him by Mgr. Ueay, the ex-blshop of
Laval, In which that prelate is represented
to dwell upon the almost exclusively politi
cal nature of the hostility shown to him
by the reactionary element among his
flock. There were but two courses open
to him on assuming his episcopal duties.
"I could, like so many others, hasten to
brandish over the head of the republic
the cross, which it hud placed In my
hands. Of Itself alone that symbol of re
demption wou'd have sufficed to excuse In
advance my pretended faults of conduct,
which a compassionate reaction willingly
tolerates In Its own supporteru. It would
have made me a great bishop, a father of
the church and the glory of Mttyennn. An
opportune repetition of that attitude would
have promoted me to the rank of a martyr
for the faith a very enviable title, since
that la the simplest form of martyrdom,
which consists In the annual exchange of
a stipend of 10,000 francs (400), for a sub
scription amounting to 50,000 francs (2,000.)
"Instead of these too frequented routes,
which did not seem to me to be the way
of the Lord, I took the road to the abyss,
or what amounts to the aame thing, that
of conciliation. I hud wished to recognize
both God and Caesar, and to pay equal
respect to their parallel authority. That
was presumptuous on my part.
As a matter of fact, I signed my resigna
tion on the day I was raised to the episco
pate by banishing from my diocese the
militant politics which were converting the
priests Into a royal bodyguard. The rep
resentative of the duke of Orleans swore
that he would have 'me soutane et me
peau.' Though I still retain my mitre, ha
has done his work well.
"There Is nothing like the three-fold ac
cusation of apostasy, schism and debauch,
to force a bishop to swallow hard doctrine.
I held out as long aa the war against mo
was waged simply with insult and calumny.
) Leo XIII I'nderatood.
"The good sense, of Leo XTII and tha
financial exhaustion of my enemies had
nearly upset the plot, so that Cardinal
Vannutelll was in a position to authorise
the Due de La Salle to Inform me that all
the proceedings were at an end. But the
advent of Plus X was the occasion of a
marvelous revival of the germs of death
that had remained dormant in tha shade
of the holy office.
"It was represented to the pope, who was
unaware of our Intrigues, end too loyal to
understand them, that my departure was
essential to the salvation of the Church of
France. Then, Instead of a reasonable
demand that I should defend myself, Car
dinal Vannutelll sent me the cruel order
to resign without appeal. I would gladly
have tendered my resignation, which would
have been a release for me, but the gov
ernment refused to consent to a proceeding
which, in its opinion, deranges the whole
mechanism of the concordat. I therefore
awaited the Issue of the negotiatlona, not
In any foolish expectation to keep my
place on nion slcgo de mlsere against the
papal will, but in the hope that Instead of
being the pretext for a rupture, my de
parture would Boon be the occasion of a
mutually satisfactory agreement between
the two contracting parties. But, un
fortunately, what was to be foreseen came
to pass. I was no longer under an ac
cusation, but In revolt, an apostate and
outlaw, against whom all weapona are
permlss'bls, providing they strike home.
I will not describe to you the life I led
during those four months. In which I ex
perienced the depth of human misery. My
suffering hua almost destroyed my memory,
and when I look back to that time I only
see a seriea of somber pits, In which I
nearly lost my reason."
The remainder of Mgr. Geay's tiitement
consists of a description of tho ostracism
to which he was subjected, and the Intense
relief which he felt on resigning his position.
CHINESE STUDY AFFECTS MIND
Missionary Bishop to Corea is
Forced to Resign Ills
Office.
LONDON, Oct. 8. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The resignation of Dr. Corfe.
bishop of Corea, because of his inability to
learn the language of the country, has
drawn attention to the enormous diiricultles
which face missionaries in heathen coun
tries, and Incidentally to the fact that the
study of some eastern tongue haa a specific
deleterious effect on the brain.
According to an official of the Society for
the Propagation of tha Gospel In Foreign
Purls, US tongues and dialects are spoken
by their missionaries abroad.
In Burma alone, he said, there are some
thing Uke nineteen dialects and languages
spoken, and in Bengal the number is nearly
as large.
"The Corean, Chinese and Japanere lan
guages." he added, "are the greatest stum
bling blocks to our preachers, and there
have been several bishops before Dr. Corfe
who have been unable to master certain
Asiatic togues.
"In Corea the educated people speak a
claaslcal Chinese tongue and look wU-h con
tempt on the En Mouo, tha dialect and
alphabet of tha poorer and Ignorant classes.
"The Chinese tongue has had, In many
cases, a very curious effect on some center
of the bruin, with the result that the learn
ing of It becomes a positive menace to
health.
"Five years' hard study is usually re
quired to Ham to speak Chinese, for a bad
accent or a alight mistake may entirely
alter the meaning of any discourse or
service.
"Our twenty-six missionaries In Africa,"
the official continued, "find no such diffi
culties. Tha alphabet Is Roman, and there
fore simple, and even the many dialects are
soon picked up."
FINNS DISTRUST THE CZAR
Helslngfors Paper le Not Chary of
Comment On Present
Conditions,
HELS1NGFOR8, Oct. 8.-(Speclal Cable
gram to The Bee.) In Its latest Issue the
Finland Bulletin comments on the recent
birth of an heir to the throne of all tha
RuBsias In the following terras:
The birth of the Tsarevltch, though an
event of great political importance nut
only for Russia and all Its dependencies,
but even for the Weltpolitik, cou.d not have
any immeuiate bearing on the condition of
affair In t inland. lne news was tin re
fore received In the Urand Duchy With
comparative indifference. Although peo
ple in Finland continue to ascribe the at
tack on Finnish liberties to the hunet ul ad
vice of his mujnsty s mli.lslers. the caar
is yet held ultimately responsible for tha
breach of the imperial vows, and there can
therefore be no ground for surprise It the
affection whicn the Finnish people lor
merly entertained toward their rulefd on
the throne of Rus-du, In aduUlun to the
feelings of loyalty for which they have
been proverbial, has vanihtd. Apart from
a few official declarations therw, was no
sign In Flhland of any rejoicings on ac
count of tho arrival of the heir to the
throne. Feuplo only vaguely wondered if
this event, which was the fulliliment of
one of the most lervent desires of the
czar, would induce him to adopt a mo.-e
benevolent attitude toward the Finnish
subjects and to make amends In whatever
way might suggest Itself to him for the
wrongs he had done to Finland. It was
theretore with a certain amount of eager
expectation, very much mingled with al
most cynical scepticism, that people looked
forward to the manifesto which It was
anticipated would appear on tho baptism
of the intiint TsHrv.itei I ma n . .
of course, could not contain an Intimation
of the czar's policy otherwl.-e than wnat
might be Implied from the gracious acts
of amnesty and other sluns of good will
for which It might furnifh the occasion.
To the sanguine the manifesto when It was
published came aa a decided disappoint
ment. The paper also reproduces a story told
by a St. Petersburg correspondent to the
Frla Ord, the Finnish opposition organ,
published In Stockholm, about the Inter
view Prince Obolensky had with the czar
on his appointment to the governor gener
alship. "Your majesty's gracious will Is
probably that I shall use the cane In
Finland?" Prince Obolensky asked. ''No,"
the emperor Is reporleJ to have replied.
"Such was originally my intention, but I
have changed my mind." We report this
story, says the bulletin, under every re
serve. At all events It Is possible that the
czar Is anxious to adopt less violent
methods. Whether this Indicates any real
change of policy remains to be seen. The
fact that a summons has been Issued for
a Diet to assemble In December this year
cannot Itself be regarded as a sign In this
direction.
CIL AS FUEL IS DANGEROUS
Official Inquiry to Be Made of
Fire on ' British
Vessel.
LONDON, Oct. 8. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The oil fuei fire on the de
stroyer Spiteful marks an Important period
In the coal versus oil controversy. Naval
and fuel experts are forming and criticis
ing theories on the subject.
An official Inquiry Into the occurrence
will be held and the Immediate future of
oil fuel on ships will probably depend con
siderably upon the results of that Inves
tigation. "Such a fire," sold an engineer captain
this week, "la one ct those perils we have
all along been afraid of In connection with
the UBe of oil fuei.
"Whatever precautions you may take It
Is Impossible to raise the flash point high
enough to leave a reliable margin of safety
from the contiguity of the hot engine and
boiler rooms.
"If a shell comes Into a coal bunker It
finds very solid resistance. Not only la
this protection abolished by the substitu
tion of petroleum, but the menace of a
violent explosion would be Introduced.
"When one of the German Kaiser class
of battleships, all of which are fitted with
supplemental oil fuel, was running its trials
the other day it pierced its bilge plating.
"It made water faster that the pumps
could keep it under. It reached the fuel
tanks and floated out the contents, and
the result was that a sea of fuel came
brimming to the level of the furnace
doors, and the fires were only doused in
time to save a pretty conflagration."
Mr. Benjamin of the Shell Transport
company, considers that oil fuel is safer
than coal.
"Before a fire can occur with oil fuel."
he said, "It must come Into actual contact
with flame Every possible precaution Is
used to prevent such a contingency, but.
as the jrresent case shows, accidents wll!
happen. I maintain that with proper care
no such occurrence should be possible."
Mr. Benjamin admitted that when an oil
fire does break out at sea It Is a serious
matter. On shore oil fires can be extin
guished with rand or earth, but to throw
water on burning oil Increases the evil.
The only way of dealing with It Is by the
use ' of Jets of steam under high pressure.
ANTI-JEWISH RIOTS CONTINUE
Sosnowlce Is Scene of Murders on
Hebrew New Year's
' Day.
BERLIN. Oct. 8 (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) Details of the antl-Jewlsh riots
at Sosnowlce which have Just been received
reveal a repetition of the Klshlneff horrors.
Following custom, a number of Jews
knelt on the banks of the river Pnels on
their New York's days to pray. There they
were Jeered at by the crowd, and stones
were thrown at them. One of the praying
Jews who was struck by a stone threw it
back, cutting the forehead of a little girl.
instantly messengers were dispatched
throughout the town with the story that
the Jews had murdered a Gentile girl, and
the populace, blindly believing this, com
menced a murderous attack upon the Jews
and to sack their houses.
A Mrs. Golenzcr was stabbed In thirty
places and died shortly afterward. Her
husband and four children were tortured.
A synagogue Janitor named Scherrer was
felled with a club and mutilated. In an
other case a Jewish butcher named Feder
mann was horribly cut with his own im
plements and is not expected to recover.
The attacks continued all the afternoon.
The Jewish quarter of Sosnowlce is now
In ruins. Not a door hangs upon Ita hinges
and not a pane of glasa remains un
smashed. SOLDIERS TO LOSE QUEUES

FAIRBANKS' BUSY DAY
Indian Senator Addresses Two Large
Audiences at Cheyenne in Evening.
GIVEN AN ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION
Reviews Claim of Democrats for Credit
for ' Irrigation Act.
ORIGINATED BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
He Outlined the Message Which Became
a Law in Message to Congress.
OTHER STOPS MADE DURING THE DAY
Speeches at Hock Springs. Rawlins
and Hanua Senators Dolllver and
Fulton Slake Addresses at
Cheyenne.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 8. After a fairly
busy day of speechmaklng Senator Fair
banks, the republican candidate for vice
president, was welcomed in Cheyenne to
day with much show of Interest. He ar
rived at 7 o'clock and was met at tho sta
tion by a number of people. The senator
and his party were Immediately taken In
hund by the local committee, placed In
carriages and driven to Senator Warren's
residence. There they were called upon to
review a unique procession of marching
clubs, the members of one of which carried
electric torches fed by a dynamo drawn
upon a traction engine. Other features
were flambeau, torchlight and shotgun
clubs and two brass bands.
When Senator Fairbanks arrived In the
city he was accompanied by Senators Dol
llver, Fulton, Kearns, Warren and Clark,
Congressman Smith of Iowa, State Chair
man Van Ordel and several other Wyoming
republicans. The private car of Superin
tendent Park of the Union Pacific forrhed
a part of the Fairbanks train during the
day and Mr. Parks entertained the senator
and his party at luncheon.
When the party left Senator Warren's
residence the speakers separated in order
to attend the two meetings which had been
arranged for them at Kcefe and Turner
halls, respectively. Both these places were
crowded and the speakers were all received
with favor.
Senator Warren presided at the Keefe
hall meeting and General Van Ordel at
the Turner hall meeting. Senator Fairbanks
spoke at both meetings, appearing first
at Keefe hall. At that place of meeting he
was followed by Congressman Smith and
Senator Dolllver and at Turner hall he
was preceded by Senators Dolllver and Ful
ton. Fairbanks Speaks Twice.
In both of his speeches Senator Fairbanks
entered upon a somewhat general review of
the campaign, giving considerable atten
tion to questions especially affecting the
west. Considering this as practically hla
last speech In the Irrigation section, he
referr. d to the democratic claim of author
ship of the reclamation law.
On that subject he said in effeot:
I have been greatly Impressed as I have
traveled through the arid region of the west
with the tremendous possibilities of Irri
gation. No one can estimate the far-reaching
benefits of the irrigation policy of tho
republican party. It means the reclama
tion of hundreds of thousands of acres
which will prove to be most productive.
They will become the homes of a numerous,
prosperous and a happy and patriotic peo
ple. Wyoming will have a large share In
the benefits of this great policy.
The attempt of the democratic national
convention to claim credit for the irriga
tion act now upon the statute books is
most audacious. The claim is unfounded
In fact. Tho act was esaentialla repub
lican measure. It was recommended by
President Roosevelt and enacted by a re
publican congress.
The president brought the subject to the
attention ot congress In his annual mes
sage In December, 1!M2. It was never more
happily put than by him, and the law now
In force follows the lines so well laid down
by the president. This great measure,
fraupht with such beneficence to our coun
try and to our countrymen In the years to
come, will stand as a tribute to repub
lican statesmanship. It Is one of the great
trophies of republican administration. The
reclamation fund derived from the sales of
public lands amounts to about 827.OtiO.0u0. It
will be greatly Inerensed by future sales.
The owners of the reclaimed lands will re
store tho fund from time to time and It
will bo used In the further extension of
the system until all Irrigable lands have
substantially been brought under cultiva
tion, without drawing upon any of the rev
enues of the government, save only those
which arise from public land sales.
The policy Is founded upon national equi
table principles. It will greatly Increase
the taxable wealth of the states concerned
In Irrigation, and without detriment to any
Interest.
Senator Dolliver'a Speech.
The speeches by the other members of
the party were also general in character In
most respects. Senator Dolllver also dis
cussed hte irrigation problem and referred
to the agency of Secretary Wilson in the
work of reclaiming the arid lands. On that
point he eatd:
The people of the west owe much to the
Intelligent comprehension of the irrigation
problem which has been shown by Presi
dent Roosevelt's secretary of agriculture,
James Wilson. He has not omy studied
more profoundly than anybody else the
problem of getting water on the arid lands
of the Rockies, but has put the learning
and science of his department at the serv
ice of the western people In separating
trom their Irrigated areas the alkaline
salts which have up to tills time bullied
the industry of the agricultural population.
Stop Made at Hanna.
At the mining camp of Hanna Senator
Fairbanks today paid a tribute to the mem
ory of the lulu Senator Hunnu, saying;
This town bears an honored name. This
country hua produced no better man than
the lute (Senator Marcus A. Hanna. He was
a man who understood the Interests of the
miners ol the country as perhaps nobody
else In the public service. He had been
associated with mining interests for a life
time and he carried Into ills work the prin
ciples of the golden rule. He understood
the miners and they understood him. He
stood for those policies which gave tho
luigest umount of work to the largest num
ber of our countrymen. Ho believed In poli
cies which gave work to American wage
turners, and those are the policies of the
republican party. One thing about Senator
Hanna which I particularly liked wits this:
He comprehended the rights of labor and
capital. He tried to bring labor and capital
Into friendly relations with each other. He
tried to bring them to an understanding of
each other's rights and of each other's
duties.
He endeavored to show that the way to
the largest prosperity In the future lay In
the friendly co-operation between these two
great Interests, which are the foundation
of our commercial and national develop
ment. The audience at Hanna consisted largely
of miners, fresh from their work. They
wore their lamps, extinguished, in their
caps, and they appeared with grimy faces
Just as they came out of the mines. They
listened attentively and gave some ap
plause. Rawlins and Rock Springs.
RAWLINS, Wyo.. Oct. 8. Senator Fair
banks was greeted here by a fulr-slzed
crowd and his remarks were received with
careful attention. He devoted his speech
especially to the sheep growing Industry,
saying, that by putting wool on the free
list the democrats liad paralyzed that in
dustry by compelling the American sheep

JAPANESE MUST BE DRIVEN OUT OF ASIA
Rnaslnn Newspapers Assert that All
Ideas of Compromise with
Japan Are Ont of tha
Question.
(Copyright, by New York Herald Co., 1904.)
ST. PETERSlU'Ra, Oct. 8.-(New York
Herald Cablegram Special Telegram to
Tho Bee.) The torpedo boat destroyers
Reszl, P-ronzltcchnl, Proserllv, Gronsl and
Qromkl leave Cronstadt tomorrow for
Reval, completing the force of the second
Faclflo squadron.
Admiral Blrlleft started for Reval yester
day In order to take part In the final trials.
The date of the departure of the fleet Is
not known to anyone, the sailing day de
pending on Admirals Rojestvensky and Blr
lleff giving their Joint opinion that every
unit of the squadron Is In perfect seagoing
condition.
The naval authorities, headed by tha
Grand Duke Alexis, are thoroughly con
vinced that a vast undertaking cannot be
hurried. They further believe that tha
spring Is the best time for the fleet to
reach its destination. There Is, therefore,
ample time.
The failure of the experiments made by
the United. States navy In coaling at sea
with the same patented device adopted by
the new squadron has come aa a crush ng
blow and haa added to' the already large
ranks of those who scoff at the idea of the
feasibility of the squadron's mission.
In a letter Just received from General
Kouropatkln, he puts the duration of tha
war at several years, and says that once
the Russians take the offensive the prog
ress will be Infinitely mora rapid than at
present Imagined.
Hla view that Russia will soon take the
offensive, however, ia not confirmed by the
mobilization orders published today,' ac
cording to which a large portion of the
forces Intended for General Grlppenberg
cannot reach the seat of war until tha and
of next August.
General Kouropatkln'a large reinforce
ments have caused tha Japanese to pause.
In the meanwhile the enemy la relent
lessly tightening Its grip on Port Arthur.
Japanese Must Leave Asia.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 8 Replying to
the statement of Count Okuma, leader of
the Japanese progressive party, that tha
war with Ruaita would be long, but that
Japan would win In the end, the Novoe
Vrcmyi declares that the idea of a possible
compromise with Japan haa been aban
doned and that the war must be prosecuted
by Russia In such a way that there can
be no possibility of Japan's renewing the
struggle. Europe, for thirty years was,
under the menace of revenge for Alsace.
"If we conclude peace with Japan all our
efforts in the far east will be vulueless and
we shall have to spend enormous sums
to keep up our armament there. Tha
Japanese, once for all, must be driven out
of the Asiatic continent."
It Is now accepted here that the reported
naval fight off Port Arthur waa purely
Imaginative. The naval experts of the
newspapers dwell on the difficulties which
the Port Arthur squadron must experience
In breaking after the disaaterous sortla
of August 10. The general opinion la that
the squadron could not venture out unless
something had happened to the Japanese
warships, of which there Is no knowledge
here. In any case, the Russian ship
could not go to the neutral port of Ch
Foo, but must hend for Vladivostok. If
the Baltic fleet 'was approaching, however,
the whole situation would be different.
Prince HIlkofT, minister of railroads, has
arrived here, after spending three month
In personally superintending the construc
tion of the Clrcumbalkal railroad. II
says the whole Siberian line Is working
perfectly. The Clrcumbalkal branch la
open for freight traffic, but passenger are
still crossing the lake In the ferry boats,
that being the shortest route; the ferry
boata taking two hours to steam about
thirty miles, whereas the train tak four
hours to cover the railroad route around
th lake, about seventy-three mile. Work
Is still proceeding, day and night, on th
Clrcumbalkal road, electric light being
used at night, so as to have the line com
plete order before the lake freezes over.
' Feeling of 1'ncartalaty.
1:3U p. m. The meagernesa of the new
from the frort 1 lncraslng the uncer
tainty regarding the despatch develop,
menta. There I good warrant for th
belief that General Kouropatkln la streng
thening Ms !eft flank to meet the Japanese
turning movement, his troops occupying
a triangle, from Fushun to Mukden and
Tie Paas. Over 300 gun have arrived at
the front and the activity of the Russian
skirmishers be'ow the Hun river create
the impression that Kouropatkln may
contemplate assuming the offensive. Tho
War office, however, gives no encourage
ment of thM Idee, though naturally. It
such a move Is cnntempled the War efflo
