ALEXIEFF STILL IN FAVOR.
Viceroy May Control Russian Foreign
Affairs.
London , Oct. 6. In the absence of
developments at the front , interest at
Bt Petersburg centers in the disposi
tion to be made of certain important
civil and military officers. Rumor has
it that Viceroy Alexieff has been re
instated in royal favor and will , upon
bis return from the far east , become
the actual director of Russia's for
eign policy. Friends of General Kour-
patkin are confident that ho will ba
given at least temporary command of
tie two Manchurlan armies. No news
later that Sept , 30 has been received
from Port Arthur. At the date given
the garrison had been inspirited by
repulses of the Japanese.
The Dally Telegraph's Che Fee cor
respondent says that on Sept. 26 the
Japanese made repeated and reckless
ly brave attempts to capture High hill
t Port Arthur. Owing to the destruc
tion of earthworks their advance was
completely unprotected and under the
rays of the searchlight the Russian
machine guns swept them down In
Knassea. "More troops , however , came
with fanatical bravery , " the corre
spondent adds , "leaping over the
fcodies of their dead comrades. Then
the Russians , emboldened by their suc
cesses , sortled. The Japanese replied
with machine guns. It * was the first
time the Japanese had been able to
entice the Russian from their shelters
and they worked terrible havoc among
them. The scene next morning was
appalling. The hillside was strewn
with mingled Russian and Japanese
todies , some of them gripped with
ghastly realism. Boulders were trick
ling with blood. A brief message was
received today. It Is signed by Gen
eral Stoessel. It states that all bad
been quiet since Sept 25 and that
the Japanese again bad asked for and
were refused a truce to bury their
dead.
"An official statement admits the
repulse and confesses the necessity
of a resort to a passive siege. Enter
ic fever has broken out In tbo garrt
6v * at Port Arthur. "

THE TROUBLE WITH MR. PARKER
'He ' Is Too Much Like Roosevelt , " De
clared Mr. Bryan Mr. McKllllp Led
Off , Attacking the Revenue Law In
Nebraska State Issues.

\udltorluiu lust night wan probably
hu most Important mooting of the
campaign for the ftislonlstH of Norfolk
uid vicinity and they did jimtlcu to
ho event by filling the building to its
sunllng capacity. Draperies of na-
lonul llngH lout the proper aspect to
ho play house for the occasion , nnd
thu Ahlnuin and Indies hands did jus
tice to the event In a musical way ,
Mr. llryan and Mr. McKllllp arrived
from Wayne at 8 o'clock In the evening -
ing and proceeded directly to I ho An-
lltorium , taking their places on the
Htnge. The mooting was presided
> vor by 10. P. Wouthorby as chairman ,
mil prominent among those on the
stngo were John MnthloHon of Stiiuton ,
luinocratlc candidate for senator of
.his district , and John P. Newhnll of
Tlldon , the democratic candidate for
representative , Former State Senator
P. J. Halo of Battle Crook , nnd T. K.
Hanson of Tildon , candidate for coun

Joan , John Hulff , and others
P. E. McKllllp Talks.
Chairman Weathorby first intro
duced Hon. P. E3. McKllllp of Hum
phrey , fusion candidate for congress
from the Third district. Mr. McKllllp
launched out with an attack on the
present state revenue law , urging the
voters to give It thoughtful study and
careful deliberation before casting
their ballots In November. Ho said
that the republicans were not talking
about It and compared their condition
to the Irishman who had swallowed
an egg nnd was afraid to move for fear
It would break and scratch his
stomach nnd If he laid still it would
lintch out a Shanghai that would
do the same thing. The repub
licans refuse to talk about nnd refuse
to give their consent to a fusion dis
cussion of the question. lie assured
the voters that their bunions wore in
creased while the railroads were not
obliged to pay tholr fair share. He
asked that the voters "bo alive and up-
to-date , nnd vote with us. " The speak
er made an especial plea for Bcrgo
nnd the legislative ticket , comparing
the position of Bergo with that of La-
Pollette of Wisconsin , Polk of Missou
ri and alleging that all such men wore
l > elng fought and turned down by the
corporations , as were Cummins of
Iowa , Van Snnt of Wisconsin nnd Rob
ertson of Nebraska.
Mr. McKllllp's one reference to na
tional questions in which he is to bo
a factor , if elected , was In reference
to the tariff , endeavoring to show that
through and by It the people uro be
ing bled by the tariff in the Interest of
the trusts , illustrating his point by
reference to a calf that defied lariats ,
enclosures and pokes and continued to
milk the cow long after he required
such encouragement to growth. .Tho
speaker said that the calf had been
fixed by splitting Its tongue and rec
ommended that In the ballot the people
ple find a similar remedy for the trusts
that had outgrown their Infancy. Ho
made an illustration of his argument
that the consumer pays the tariff , by
showing his experience in buying Ca
nadian potatoes In competition with
the home product. His merchant ar
gued that the Canadian Importer paid
tlio tariff , until he floored him with the
argument that if the Importer had giv
en him the potatoes the tariff would
still have to bo paid.
In the Interim between the talk of
Mr. McKilllp nnd the address of
Mr. Bryan , the ladles band , stationed
on the platform , rendered a selection ,
showing evidence of marked Improve
ment in tone and execution.
Bryan's Address.
Chairman Weathorby Introduced Mr.
Bryan as one of the few great men of
the nation who will leave their mark
on the history of the country.
Mr. Bryan prefaced his address
with a pretty and touching tribute to
the memory of G. A. Lulkart , with
whom ho had been quite closely asso
ciated during his political career. Ho
said It was mingled feelings of plea
sure and sadness that ho again mot
the people of this growing city of the
north Platto. The taking of a hu
man llfo might be regretted but it
could not rob the world of its bless-
Ings. The community Is hotter , the
party is bolter , and the state is bettor
for Mr. Lulkart having lived , and bis
loss Is not easy to compensate.
The speaker had said that ho had
little tlrao during the present cam
paign to discuss Individuals. Ho had
given thrco weeks to the campaign In
Nebraska , ono week of which ho had
spent In tbo Third district , and spoke
for the success of the democratic can
lldnto for congress In thin district ,
loping that ho would bo hulpod to a
ciiroor as the people of the Second
( ( strict had helped him , by giving him
ho stimulus nnd Inspiration of tin
election after ho had boon nominated
aiiHo his chances for an election
voro not considered good.
Ho tlovolotl a good deal of his pollt-
cal argument for Mr. Hergo , candidate
or governor , comparing him to Jos.
' "oik of Missouri , and promlHod that
f elected Mr. Burgo would not bo
swerved from the path of duty. Ho
Idlculed Mr. Mickey's letter nn the
) HHH question , and alleged a dlssalls-
action among Hie republicans.
Mr. llryan added his testimony to
he undesirable qualities of the now
oventie Inw and urged Hint the rail-
oiiils and corporations wore not iiHkeil
0 pay tholr fair shore of the tnxn-
Ion , pointing his argument with ( he
lorHonal experience with the assessor ,
vho came nnd measured the house
mil burn , nnd chicken coop nnd pig
ten , counted the horses nnd entile and
tigs nnd chickens nnd nt the homo of
neighbor found a Hotting hen and
iroiulsed to call Inter when the chick-
ns were hatched. He nald that the
armor not only had to pay tuxes on
ils. land hut upon the liny that was
nken from the land , lie asked for the
luppetw of the congressional , Htnto nnd
oglHlntlvo ticket and plead with his
lonrorH not to forgot their local Iron-
ties bocniiHO n grent national cam-
inlgn wns on nnd they wore being
iHked to vote for Roosevelt. He ad-
ulttod that the Htnto would vote for
looHovolt , and Indicated thai he didn't
iiuch earn IICOIIUHO"Parker Istoo
nuch llko Hoosovelt to Hull UK on n
lumber of questions. "
Leaving the political Hold Mr. Bry-
in devoted nn hour of his time to the
llHciiHslou of "The Value of an Ideal"
uid during Hint hour ho Inspired his
lonrerH with n higher conception of
heir duties In a political way , and hlK
argument for bettor government wns
strong , clone , anil prettily presented ,
lo did not appeal to party. He no-
tnowledgcd that In all parties there
wan good and bad and ho placed Im-
illclt confidence In the American poo-
do , whether republicans or democrats
lo keep the nation Ideal and nn example -
ample to the other tuitions of the
enrth. To bring this about two parties
ire necessary , the ono to watch the
ithor. Ho considered as evidence of
: hla Idcnl in the national life the fact
hat n party had been permitted lo
lomltmln the country for forty and flf-
: y years nt a tlmo , which would not
: > o possible had It not approached the
ideal of the American pooplo. Ho do-
[ ilored the fnct that HO ninny people
look for a chance ( o sell their votes
uid found that soinn had sold to both
mrlles. During this portion of his ad-
Irons the audience WIIH held spell-
jound by his pleasing oratory and flu
ent delivery , and lofty thoughts.
He spoiled Homo of the Impression
10 had made on his audience In his
closing remarks when ho again be
came a partisan nnd endeavored to
irove to the people that they were
ihrentened by Imperialism and mill-
arism. His audience grow restless
iniler the charge that the republicans
were lending them to such a condi
tion.
tion.Mr.
Mr. Bryan spoke for almost two
liours and there were frequent though
: iot enthusiastic bursts of applause.
Mr. Bryan Walked to Town.
With an unscheduled automobile ac-
An unscheduled automobile ac-
with a tramp of throe miles Into town ,
was one of the unique features of yes-
; erday with Mr. Bryan. Early In the
nornlng ho , In company with Mr. Mc
Kllllp and others , had loft Hartlngton
In an automobile. Three miles out of
Randolph , for which plnco they were
> ound , the machine broke down and
precipitated the party to the road bed.
The next hour nnd a half was spent
in hitting the highway , with no pave
ment on the highway at that.
His New Granddaughter.
Mr. Bryan's new granddaughter ,
born September 27 to Mr. nnd Mrs.
William Homer Leavltt at Newport ,
Is getting on , from what Mr. Bryan
has heard , In good stylo. The name
of the now daughter will probably be
taken from that of her mother Ruth
Bryan Leavltt. This has not definitely
been determined , but that will prob
ably bo the case , said Mr. Bryan to
The News.
"There was something of a colncl
dent In the arrival of that daughter , "
said Mr. Bryan. "Not of political sig
nificance , but merely a llttlo Incident.
The birth of the daughter came very
nearly celebrating the wedding anni
versary of Mr. and Mrs. Leavltt , as
they were married on October 3 , 1903.
And Ruth , herself , was born just a
year and a day after Mrs. Bryan and
myself were married. "
Lungs Sound as Silver Dollar.
Mr. Bryan never looked moro robust
and never felt better , ho says , In his
llfo. Ho has just returned from a trip
to the mountains and the rest did him
a great deal of good. Asked In re
gard to his health ho sold , "Tho last
doctor that examined mo said that my
lungs wore stronger than his. In fact
they are perfectly sound. They are
as sound as a dollar , sir at least as
sound as a silver dollar. "
Mr. Bryan nnd Mr. McKlllup were
at the Oxnard over night and loft at
1 o'clock today noon for Crolghton
where they speak at 2. Tonight they
speak at Plorco nnd ut West Point
and Stanton tomorrow.
