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.

BATTLE
IS
STILL
ISDECIHED
All Reports Aarre that Flaht Already
Overshadows Lino Yung.
ST. 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

PARKER MARES AN ADDRESS

DISCUSSES QUESTION OF THE PHILIPPINES
Qootfa Democratic riatform and Says
Liberty Sboald Be Given Island
ers as Soon aa They Are ,
Prepared for It.
ESOrVS, N. 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. When pre
pared they may govern themselves as th
t.uiians do, unassisted: unless asking help,
undirected: unless nsklng advice, untrnm-
meled bv.onr politics, unencumbered by
our politicians nnd uncontrolled by us.
Attitude of Republicans.
Hecretnry Taft his snld: "A promise to
give ultimate Independence will be con
strued by the more violent element, dis
posed to agitation, to be a promise to
grunt Independence In the nenr future and
during tne present generation.-- The suc

Filipinos understand that we are there
for their benetlt b"t that we Intend to stuv

we propose to do them."
Here we have the issue clearly defined.
The republican partv stands for the sub

Democracy stends for freedom. I We re

us Interminably.
Danger of Imperialism.
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. ,

CHURCH UNION IS DISCUSSED
(onxreratlonal Convention Considers
Plan for (loser Inlon vlth Two
Other Denominations.
DES MOINES. Ia., Oct. 15. There was a
suggestion of the race difficulties of 'the
south in the business of the Congregational
national council today In action on the re
port of the credentials committee. Two
delegations from Alabama had presented
themselves, one from the Congregational
association, colored, the other from the
Congregational convention, white. In con
sideration of this report President Blanch
ard of Wheaton College. 111., offered a reso
lution for the recognition of the negro dele
gates only, on the ground that their or
ganization waa first In existence. A motion
to adopt this failed, after a promise of
acrlmlnlous discussion and calmer hcajds
prevented further controversy by seating
both delegations.
This afternoon's proceeding, of the na
tional Congregational council centered In
the report of the committee on federation
of missionary societies. The Rev. Frank
S. Fitch, D. D., of Buffalo reported that
the chief need was of confidence tn and
the support of the several societies, and
recommended that there be no attempt at
federation except by plow, rathr than quick
methods. The report was adopted and re
considered, and the whole matter was then
referred to a special committee to report
on Monday.
It is understood that this committee will
recommend that the question of federation
be referred to a special committee which
shall consider the matter during the next
three years and report to the next na
tional council.'
Rev. William Hays Ward,' D. D., of New
York presented the report of the committee
on comity federation and unity, in which
attention was called to the national feder
ation of churches and Christian workers,
a voluntary organization composed of va
rious denominations interested In united
Christian effort. The federation had sent a
letter suggesting a conference of repre
sentatives of Protestant denominations to
meet In New York In November, 1906, to
form a representative organization the
basts of which would not be creedal state
ment or governmental form, but of co-operative
1 work and effort.
The ' committee submitted resolutions.
which were adopted, approving of the plan
for the conference and also for a closer
union of the Methodist Protestant, United
Brethren and Congregational denomlna
tlons.
The following officers were elected: S?C'
retary, Asher Anderson, D. D., Boston, re
elected; treasurer, Sam B. Forbts, Hartford
Conn., re-elected.
Tomorrow there will be three sermon
by distinguished preachers from Massa
chusetts and New York and an address by
the Rev. W. J. Dawson of London.
The Sunday school society reported that
168 new churches had. grown out of the
Sunday schools organized by Its mission
aries, and 138 others had been aided from
the beginning in their Sunday school life.
The Income of the society has steadily In
creased for twenty years. The secretary,
Charles H. Richards of New York, pre
sented a paper on the work of the church
building society.
Rev. Charles H. Talnter of Chicago, field
secretary of the society, reported concern
ing the church development of the middle
west. Thus far the meetings are regarded
as the best ever held by the national coun

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
