Shells Seek Kouropatkln. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 15. According to special dlspatchs recelvefr" hero General Kouropatkln had a narrow escape during the fierce fighting of Wednesday night and Thursday for the possession of Temple hill and the double-horned mountain east of the railroad. With his staff he was per sonally directing the fight at this point Orderlies were constantly galloping up from other parts of tho field and carrying dispatches to and from the telephone and telegraph stations which were working be hind the hills. This evidently attracted tho attention of the Japanese who cleverly unmasked some batteries, the shells from which burst all around the distinguished group, compelling General Kouropatkln tc shift his position hastily and seek shelter. It is understood that Genoral Kouropat kln, before the battle commenced ojraln, designated Lieutenant General Bakhnroff and then Lieutenant General Bllderllng to to succeed him In the command of the event of his being disabled. 1:18 p. m.

' The officials of the War office themselves seem to share In the ' general pessimism. Tho emperor, they say, has Kouropatkln'. reports, but haa not yet transmitted them. The only thing tha general staff Is able to offer Is the Information contained In the Associated Press St. Petersburg dispatch of this morning, announcing that unofficial reports from the battlefield were more en couraging, that there had been no rout, but that there waa no question that the Russians had fallen back twenty miles.

PETERSBURG, Oct. 18.-2 a. m Tho latest report from the front brings the story of the great battle up to Saturday morning, when the fighting at Shakhe was renewed with unabated vigor. The Rus sians are holding their position at Shakhe nnd apparently neither they nor the Japa nese ore able to advance. All accounts I agree that the battle . of Llao Yang Is already being overshadowed In fierceness and the number of casualties. It is now the sixth dcy of desperate fighting and the Issue' Isj still In the bnlunce. The feeling In St. Petersburg is one of extreme gloom and depression. The lack of official news, the undoubted checking of General Kouropatkln's aggressive move and the enormous Russian losses In men and guns, compared with the optimistic reports from Toklo, all combine to prepare the public for anything short of a total rout of the Russians. Nevertheless tha reports of the newspaper correspondents at the front, while admitting the heavy losses of the Russian troops and their retreat beyond the Shakhe rlv'er, describe the sol dlera.as fighting with undiminished ardor. One dispatch even hints at extremely en couraging news from the eastern flank. but counsels patience and official confirma tion before accepting it as true. There Is a noteworthy ubsence of bitter ness sgainst General Kouropatkln, and the belief Is prevalent that he was compelled to assume the offensive. A majority of the people are Inclined to regard him as a victim of circumstances and all admire the skillful manner In which he again removed hlrf forces as coon as he realized tho dan ger of pressing the advance. The report that he personally nssumed command of hthree divisions In order to cover the retreat finds widespread credence. rtlSIAN LOSSES AHE I1EIG TOLD One Corps I.o.es Almost Fnll llriwade and Others Suffer Severely. 6T. PETERSBL'UU, Oct. 15. i:21 p. m. Tho extent of tho Russian lorses is par tially Indicated by the correspondent of the Russkoe Slovo, who telegraphs that Gen eral Bilderllng's corps, holding tho center of the right, lost almost an entire brigade of the Third division, including a third of its artillery brigade (forty-eight gunr.V, the neighboring corps being too hard pressed to offer assistance. General Zaroubuleff's corps suffered ter ribly before its retreat October 10, his brigade of reserves arriving too late. Zaroubaleff himself narrowly esc-.iped, a shell bursting Inside a hut from whence tho general had Just emerged. General Mlstchcnko, on the left, also suffered heavily. The fighting was at such close range that his gunners were mowed down by the Japanese Infantry fire. The Japanese positions, which the Rus sians were trying to take, were surrounded on three sides by wire entanglements, which cost the Russians deur. The Japa nese in some instances abandoned their khaki uniforms, donned gray overcoats and repeated a .trick they have often employed during the wur, especially in night at tacks, of yelling out, In Russian, when dis covered, "Friends." This time they crept up to the Russian positions, shouting: "Orders have been given to retreat," but were soon discovered. A correspondent telegraphing from Muk den yesterday said there was a lull in tho fighting and that the Russians eust of tho railroad were holding the line of the Shakhe river. Prices on the bourse were not much affected by the news from the front. Gov ernment 4s. dropped only one-eighth of a point. Sickles Harness Rets Highest Award. ST. IOUIS. Oct. 13. (Special Telegram.)

V Oct. 16 Judge Parker today addressed two visiting delegations on the political Issues, making his second speech of the campaign since accepting the democratic nomination for the presidency. The delegation numbered about 120 men, a score representing the Parker Independent club and the others the Avon Beach Regu lar Democratic club of Long Island. The delegations arrived at 4:15 o'clock and marched to Rosemount. Judge Parker met them on his veranda and was greeted with handclapptng. Colonel Charles B. Codman of Boston and Prof. Henry W. Hardon of New York mnde extended speeches. Both speakers confined their remarks to the Philippine question and a discussion of the attitude of the republican administration on that question. Judge Parker replied as follows: Colonel Codman. "Prof. Hardon nnd Gen tlemen: I greatly appreciate the compli ment of your presence and the assurance of the support of yourselves and those you represent. The importance of the Issues to which you refer cannot be over-estimated. It Is attracting the attention of the thoughtful, patriotic men all over the country. Permit nie to rail your attention to the portion of the democratic platform relating to it. Quotes Democratic riatform. "No government has the rlirht to make one set of laws for those at home and a different set of laws, absolute in their character, for those in the colonies. "Wherever there may exist a people In capable of being governed of American laws and the American constitution that people ought not to be part of the Ameri can domain. We Insist thnt we ought to do for the Filipinos what we have done for the Cubans and that it is our duty to make that promise now and upon suitable guar antees of protection to citlsens of our own and other countries resident there nt the time of our withdrawal to set the Filipino people upon their feet, free and independ ent, to work out tholr own destiny." The Declaration of Independence, born In the brain of the father of democracy, says the same thing In effect, for It de clared that governments derive "their Just powers rrom the consent of the governed. I have before snld that we may not dis regard the responsibility Imposed bv pos session of tho Philippines and thnt "re sponsibility will be best subserved by pre. Paring the Islanders as rapldlv as possible for self-government and giving to thm the assurance that It will come as soon ns they nre reasonably prepared for It." This means inaepenuence ror tne I'ninnpines in the fullest sense of the word.

But aside from the duty we owe the Philippines in preparation for the enjoy, ment of the blessed privilege we possess, we should guard carefully against the danger to ourselves of an imperialistic policy. History teaches that from repub licanism to Imperialism tho movement Is gradual and unpercelved of the people. Its ominous progress when discovered leaves open hut two courses, submission or resort to violence. That our people may never be eompelltd to choose between these fearful alternatives should be our prayer. But we should work as well as pray. And our work should be to guard the foundation on which our gov ernment rests. Its basis Is that of declared Ideas ideas that are stronger than battle ships and armies ideas which for more than a century have stimulated our de velopment and which have given promise that our ."world mlsHlun" shall be not to seize the territory of distant peoples nnd rule them with a scepter of Iron, but to establish truth honor, justice and peace among the nations. We must choose whether within our bord ers the basis of government shall continue to be this idealism or a materialism which Is the sure precursor of dinsolutlon, for no nation can endure upon a bnsls of ma terialism, however splendid. Prudence re quires thnt choice be made In time. The time Is now. , BRYAN 18 SFHAKIXG I INDIANA Spends the Day Making Speeches and Will tin to French Lick. CAMBRIDGE CITT, Ind., Oct. 15,-Wll-llam J.

What Sulphur Doss For th Human Body In Health aanl Dlsoga The mention of aulphur will recall to many ot .us the early day. when our mother and grandmother, gave u. our daily dose of sulphur and molasses every spring and fall. It was the universal spring and fall "blood purltler," tonic and cure-all, and, mind you, thl old-fashioned remedy wa not without merit. The Idea wa good, but the remedy wa. crude and unpalatable, and a large quan tity had to be taken to get any effect. Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef fect of aulphur In a palatable, concen trated form, so that a single grain la far more effeotlve than a tablospoonfut of the crude aulphur. In recent years research and experiment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use Is that obtained from Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold In drug stoie under th name of Stuart' Calcium Wafer. The are small, chocolate coated pellet and contain the active medicinal principle of aulphur In a highly concentrated, ef fective form. Few people are aware of the value of thl form of sulphur In restoring and maintain ing bodily vigor and health; sulphur acta directly on the liver and excretory org I and purifies and enriches the blood by tha prompt elimination of waste material. Our grandmother knew this when they dosed us with aulphur and molasses every spring and fall, but the crudity and Im purity of ordinary flowers of sulphur were often worse than the disease and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of aulphur, of which Stuart'. Calcium Wafer i undoubtedly the best and mostly widely used. They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troublea and cure constipation und purify the blood in a way that often surprise patient and physician alike. Dr. R. M. wllklna, whllrf experimenting ' with sulphur remedies, soon found that th sulphur from Calcium wa. superior to any other form. He eays: "For liver, kidney and blood troublea, especially whan result ing front constipation or malaria, I have been surprised at the result, obtained from Stuart'. Calcium Wafer. In pa tient suffering from boll and pimples and even deep-seated carbuncles, - I have re repeatedly seen them dry up and disappear In four or flva day, leaving the skin clear and amooth. Although Stuart' Calcium Wafter 1 a proprietary article and sold by druggists, and for that reason tabooed by many physicians, yet I know of nothing .0 safe and reliable for constipation, liver and kidney troubles, and especially In all forma of akin disease, a this remedy." At any rate, people who are tired of pills, cathartic and ao-called blood "purifiers" will And In Stuart'a Calcium Wafer a fur safer, more palatable and effective prepara Uon. if I 1 p i is
