REFORM OF GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES President's Pension Order Ataln At tacked, but He Kttori Mew Law (or Alt Hf aching the lamt tnd NEW YORK, Sept. JS.-Judge Alton B. Parker's letter accepting the democratic nomination fur president wai made public tonight The full text of It, follow: To the Hon. Champ Clark and others. Committee, etc. Gentlemen; In try re sponse to your committee at thb lornml iiutilication proceedings, 1 referred to some matters not mentioned In thli letter. 1 de Ire that these be considered na lncorpoi aled herein, and regret that lack ut space prevent specific relet ence to them all. I wish here, however, again to refer to my views there expressed as to the gold stand ard, to declare again my unqualified be lief In said standard, and to express my appreciation ot the action of the conven tion in reply to my communication upon that subject. Grave public questions are pressing for decision. The democratic party appeals to the people with confidence that its posi tion on these questions will be accepted and endorsed at the polls. While the Issues Involved are numerous, some stand forth pre-enunint In the public mind. Among these are tariff reform, Imperialism, eco nomical administration and honesty In tho public service. i shall briefly consider these and some others within the neces sarily prescribed limits ot this letter. Imperialism. While I presented my views at the noti fication proceedings conct ruing this vital issue, the overshuuowlng Importance of this question Impels mo to refer to It again. The lssus Is oitcuunies referred to as constitu tionalism against Imperialism. If.' wo wouid retain our liberties and con stitutional rlchts unimpaired, we cannot permit or toleri'.te, at any time or for any purpose, the orrogation of unconstitutional power by the executive branch ot our gov ernment We should be ever mindful of the words of WebMer, "Liberty Is only to be preserved by maintaining constitu tional restraints and Just divisions of po litical powers." Already the national government has be come cenlrulizcd beyond any point contem plated or imagined by the framera of the constitution. How tremendously all this has added to the power of the president: It has developed from year to year until it almost equals that of many monarchs. While the growth ot our country and tho magnitude of Interstate interests may seem to furnish a plausible reason for this cen- I trallzatlon of power, yet these same facts afford the most potent reason why the executive should not be permitted to encroach upon the other departments of : the government, and assume legislative or I other powers not expressly conferred by I tho constitution. , The magnitude ' ot the' country and Its diversity of interests and population would enable a, determined, ambitious and able executive, unmindful of constitutional lim itations and fired with tho lust of power to go far in the usurpation of authority and the aggrandizement of personal power : before the situation could be fully appre i elated or the people be aroused. The issue of Imperialism which has been i thrust upon the country Involves a decls ! lot whether the Ihw of the land or the rule of individual caprice shall govern'. The Wlnclple of Imperialism may give rise to rjWlant. startling, dashing results, but ' principle of democracy holds in check the brilliant executive and subjects him to the sober, conservative control of the people. The people of the United States stand at the parting of the ways. Shall we fol low the footsteps of our fathers along the paths of pence, prosperity and content ment, guided hy tho ever-living spirit of the constitution which they framed for us. or snail we go along other aid untried paths, hitherto shunned by all, following blindly new Ideals, which, though appeal ing with brilliancy to the Imagination and ambition, muy prove a will-o'-the-wisp, lending us into difficulties from which It may be Impossible to extricate outs. Ives without lasting injury to our national char acter and institutions? The Tariff and Trmti. Tariff reform is on of the cardinal prin ciples of the democratic faith, and tin i:cit.-n.ty for it was never greater than at the piesent time. It should be undertaker, ut one in the Interest, of all our people. It." Dmglcy tuiiiT is excessive in many or its rates, und, as to them at least, un justly an.l oppressively burdens the peo pie it sec cues to domestic n.ni..if,.i, singly or in combination, the privilege of exacting excessive prices at home an.l price:: ;a- above the level of sales made regularly by them abroad with prollt. thus givlin; a bounty to foreigners at the ex pense of our own people. Its unjust tax ation burdens the people generally, forcing them to puy. excessive prices for food, fuel clothing and other necessaries of life. It levies duties on many articles not normally Imported In any considerable amount which are- made extensively at home, tor which the most extreme protectionist would hardly Jusi:fy protective taxes, and which in large amounts are exported. Such duties have been and will continue to be a direct incentive to the formation of huge industrial combinations, which, secure from ; foreign competition, are "nabled to stifle domestic competition and practically to monopolize the home market. It contains many duties imposed for the express purpose only, as was openly avowed, of turnlshing a basis for reduc tion by means of reciprocal trade treaties which the republican' administration, im pliedly at least promised to negotiate. Having, on this promise, secured the In : creased duties, the republican party lead , ers, spurred on by protected Interests, de feated the treaties negotiated by the execu- ive, ana now inese same fnteiesls cling to the benefit of the., (luti... u-ia,.t, .I.- . pie never intended they should have, ami to which they have no moral tight. t yeu now me argument most frequently urged In behalf of the Dlngiey tariff and against tariff refotm geneially, is the t ceasily ot caring for our Infant Industries Many of these Industries, after a hundred years of lusty growth, are looming up as Industrial giants.

In the words of our platform we demand a rovli'n and a gradual reduction of the tariff by the friends of the masses, and for the common weal, and not by the friends of Its abuses.

The report of the committee on organization of the Irirh Re form association, which was adopted at a meeting presided over by Lord Dunraven, at Dublin, on Friday, was Issued tonight. The report outlines an Important schema for the revolution of the Irish government in finance and local business. It suggests' the constitution of an Irish financial coun cil comjKised of twenty-four, members, un. dor the presidency of the lord lieutenant, and with the chief secretary of Ireland as vice president, twelve members to be elected by groups of existing parliamentary constituencies and twelve to be nominated by the crown; one-third of the members to retire every three years. The functions' of the council will be to administer the J30.OO0.0OO expended unnually on Irish services. Parliament, however, re taining a controlling power, enabling the House of Commons to reverse the council's decisions. The report further suggests that a statutory body should be created consist ing of Irish representative peers and mem bers of the House of Commons In addition to the proposed council and to which should be relegated all private bill legislation af fecting Ireland and any other Irish busi ness that might be referred to it by Par liament. The report concludes with sug gesting the submission of its proposals to a royal commission. I'KAfE PREVAILS I IHtOlAY Government and Revolutionary lead ers Reaeh Aarreement. BITENOS AYRES, Sept. 25. Confirma tion has been received here of the report of the conclusion of peace between tha Uruguayan government and the revolution ists under General Munos. In explanation of the government forces surprising the Insurgent camp it appears that notification of the recent rupture of peace negotiations was communicated to Fernandez, a revolutionary political leader, but not to those under arms and up to the moment of the unexpected attack by the government forces the commanders of the rebels had not been Informed that a rupture of negotiations had taken place. The fact becoming known that the revo lutionists were not actively hostile led to the resumption of the conferences, with tha result that terms of peace were agreed upon. There Is general rejoicing here nnd in I'ruguay over the outcome.

Except for the avowedly home rule morning papers, which comment on the surprising fact that opin ion should have veered so far In a few years as to permit a body of landlords to propound what Is virtually a scheme of home rule. Lord Dunraven's proposals, em bodied in the report of the committee on organization of the Irish Reform assocla- j Hon, is universally condemned. The Morning Post declares it is "fraught with mischief." The Standard says: "The sponsors for the plan are a body of amateurs not repre sentative of the Irish people.

The long procession to the inspiring tune of "My Country 'Tls of Thee" made its way with dignified step to the seats re served for the various bodies represented. On the plutform with the archbishop sat the visiting clergy, the bishops' and tho archbishop's chaplains. The verslclcs and opening prayers were read by Bishop Nel son. Bishop Ferguson read the Psalm and Bishop Brent read the lesson. The sermon was preached by the bishop of Albany. He made a strong plea that all Christians walk worthy of their call ing.

He called attention to the reverence of English speaking people for the home and spoke of the increasing urgency for the protection of their homes. Bishop Satterlle, -fter thanking the arch bishop for his pretence- and for his coming across tho water to show his Interest and earnest desire for greater Christian unity, presented the primate, who made a brief address, as follows: i Greeting; of Archbishop. My Friends: I am called upon and privi leged to give you on thfa great occasion a great at all events to me-what the paper in your hands calls a "salutation." I give it to you from n full heart In the holy name of Him whom, amid all our differ ences, we serve, our living Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ. It is not a Utile thing to me to he allowed In that name to greet you here here at the very pivot and center of a national life which for 130 years has had "liberty" as its watchword, and for more than forty years has everywhere striven to make the word good. A vision rises before our eves today whereunto this thing, with all that It implies, may grow. It has been given to us English-speaking folks In tho mani fold development of storied life to realize In practice more fully than other men the true meaning of liberty the liberty where with Christ hath made us free. Be it ours to recognize that such knowledge In Itself Is not a heritage only but a splendid and sacred trust. The trust must be deter minedly and daily used; used, amid all the changes and chances of life, to the glory of God and the Immeasurable good of man. For that reason we want here, where the heart of your great nation throbs and sends Its pulse through the whole, to keep raised overhead the banner of Jesus Christ, our Master, who hns taught us these things. The principles He set forth are ours because they are His. He taught us that a man's life consisted not In the abundance of things which he possesseth He taught us that society exists for the sake of the men and women who consti tute society. He taught us that surrender, even of Individual rights, for the sake of Christ iff-nobler than defense of privilege. "Wo must be here to work, and men who work can only work for men, And not to work in vain, must comprehend Humanity and so work humanely And raise men's bodies still by raising souls." These are ideals, but they are Christ's Ideals, and therefore they cun come true. We mean, please God. that they shall. We from across tho sea Join hands with you In the endeavor to trunslato them into accomplished facts, not funcv. What we are aiming nt and striving after is a plain thing the bettering of people's lives, to make men purer and men manlier; to uplift the weak and wayward and to trample under the feet whnt Is eelnsh and Impure; to make certain that every one of Christ's children shnll learn to know the greatness of his herltnge, shall have nn Ideal before him, nn ennobling Ideul of wnrshln nnd of work. Christ charges ns wl'h tli.it; we nre trusted to work for Him among those for whom He died. No other period of Christendom enn compare with ours In the possibilities which are set within our reich No other part of Christendom, ns I flrmlv believe, can do for the world whnt we on either side of the sea can do for It if we only will. God give us grace to answer to that Inspiring call. After the archbishop's blessing the serv ices closed with the recessional, "Onward Christian Soldiers."

TAKE DOUBLE HEADER FROM ST. JOSEPH By an I'nprecedented Finish Local Team Brlnga the Flaav Here for First Time In Fifteen Yeara. Unfurl the banner, toys! Omaha has won the pennant of the West ern league. This proud achievement, ac complished by a Gate City team for the first time since 1S89, was wrought by the most remarkable spell of ball playing and the finish was thrilling and spectacular. The two games which Omaha took fiom St. Joseph at the Vinton street grounds yesterday In the presence of 8,000 tans were fast and brilliant on the part of both teams a splendid climax for the terrific gait at which Pa Rourke's men have been speeding during the closing heat of the season, when they have won eighteen out of nineteen games, pushing from third to first place. It is doubtful If in the history of base ball any team ever surpassed or equaled the record made by the Omaha team dur ing the last month and a half. From the first of the season the team has come up from hist place. The marvelous ball it has been playing of late, taking first four straight and then five straight from the leaders, is what gave such excitement to the finish. Up to the last day three teams, Colorado Springs, Denver and Omaha, had a chance for the pennant. It was a ter rible strain, but a glorious triumph. Kven Old Sol Is Good. Everything, even the elements, reemed to conspire to make the closing games be fitting the occasion. The heavy mUt thai covered the city during the morning hours was dissipated before Umpire Kelly called "Play ball" at 2:30, and when Bcldcn. the first batter up faced Pitcher Brown In the first game, old Sol was doing his be.U to make glad the hearts of the 14 pennant winners and to cheer those who assisted in front. i The Saints opened hostilities in the third inning of the first gam a by making two runs; then In the fourth the Rangers tied tho score and kept everyone on the qui vive until the lucky seventh, when Pa's pathfinders made two more runs and put at ease those who were on the anxious seat. After the third the Saints failed to make a run and were retired In the ninth with a sensational double play by Brown, Dolan and Thomas. Quick Wins His Own flame, Besides shutting out the Saints in the second, game Pitcher Quick won his game In the fifth inning by making a fine two base hit, bringing in Gonding, who already made a single and scoring himself when Carter followed with another single. Notwithstanding in the first game the Siints had twelve men on bases at different timea aud In different ways, by dint of hard work on the part of tho Rourae family but two o the dozen brave Saints reached .home to tell the tale, and they were Bnlden and Peer, both saving their team from Ignominy in the third inning. Clark led tho, third with a hit, being arrested at sec ond when Belden reached first on a field er's choice. Peer found his way to first on a hit and Hartman followed by groping his way to the Initial bag on an error. Mc Connell took advantage of a good oppor tunity hy sending out a hit to rlghtfleld, Belden and Peer scoring. Then, embold ened by success, Hartman tried to steal from third base, but the little boy on the centerfleld fence saw him and yelled to ilrown, who threw -the ball to the plate In time to catch Hartman red-handed and with the goods on his person. Carter Makes Star Play. The next time the Saints came to hat they went out in short order. Carter retir ing the side by making one of the star plays of the afternoon. In the fourth Gonding was hit by a pitched bnll, reached third base when Brown followed with a two-bagger and scored when Carter bunted, Clark essaying to catch Gonding at the plate, but Gondy was Johnny on the spot by coming in like a flying mermaid. This left Carter on first and the little boy could not contain him self, so he Just let out a few whoops. How ard then went out on an outfield fly and Brown ran In from thlrdA A bunch of prize packages In the seventh yielded two mora runs for the Rangers. Two hits, a tase on' an error and two bfing hit by pitched balls in that inning did the busi ness and were exchanged at the box office for two runs. Second Game In Battle Royal. The second game was a battle royal and a fitting climax for the scries of games which has been so strongly contested and which resulted so happily for the Omaha team. With Dlehl In tho box the Percy Chamberlains tried hard, as they did in the first game, to win, but were shut out after a hard fight. Quick struck out the first three Mlssourlans who came up and throughout the game showed he was In It from gong to gong. He was supported admirably. During the game but seven 8alnts saw the bases, and then but for a brief time. Three single hits was the best they did with Mr. Quick, who drove the nail In and clinched It by winning his own game In the fifth inning as already outlined. , The Saints made but one error during both games. Belden was attended by the hospital squad when he picked a ball batted by Welch from the left field fence and Welch returned the compliment by ...aniiiB ut.f . ..j. I,,,., u. uemen a nigh ones nnd catching It while running forty mllei nn hour. During the second game Thomas an nounced Denver had lost a game to Sioux City, which news was greeted with a storm of applause. The Omuha players. Manager Rourke and Umpire Kelly were the recipients of boxes. ! of cigars and other tokens of esteem during the afternoon. This afternoon's game between Omaha teum end the lrlglna1s for the benefit of the Good Sheperd 'J me will be called at 3 3o. Instead of the usual time. Attendance, S.Otfl. Score, first game: OMAHA.

VAST FORCE FOR THE FAR EAST Ruaala Contemplates Sending Double Present Number of Men to Carry On War. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 2t;'.-2:30 a. m. The division and reorganization of the Manehurlan army, regarding which there have been rumors ever rlnce the battle of Liao Yang, was officially announced today In an Imperial rescript appointing General Grlppcnberg. commander of the Third army corps In the province of Vllna, ns com mander of the Second army corps, now being mobilized for immediate dispatch to the far east, leaving General Kouropatkln In command of the First army. The emperor is personally convinced that j the political as well as the military prestige of the empire is at stake and that every other consideration must give way before the exigencies of war. The resources ot the empire In men and money must be drained if necessary in order to turn the scale and vindicate the power of Russia. The reorganization amounts to formal notice to the world, as the emperor frankly explains In his rescript, that he Intends to vastly Increase the number of troops at the theater of war In order to force the strug gle to a successful Issue In the short. st possible time. It Is Intended to silence definitely all talk of foreign intervention by the announcement that Russia means to fight cuit the Issue with Japan on the field of buttle. Probably 300,000 men Will be placed In the field. Five corps, the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth and Sixteenth are already destined for the front, and it is expected that five more corps will be sent to tlie front. Eventually the creation of this second army involves the selection of a commander-in-chief. Not only Is there no inti mation in the rescript that General Kouro patkln will have command of both armies, but he is placed on the same footing us General Grippenberg. In the best Informed circles there is little Idea that Viceroy Alexieff, the present nominal commander-in-chief, will exercise the actual functions of commander of the 600,000 or 700,000 men that Russia has resolved to put In the Held. It Is the best opinion that Grand Duke Nicholas Mlchaelovitch, Inspector general of cavalry, will attain tho high command, occupying In the war with Japan the position held by his father In the war with Turkey. There are various reports regarding Vice roy Alcxieff's destiny. It Is claimed in some quurters that he will be recalled and Grand Duke Nicholas will become vice- i roy as well aa cotnmander-ln-chiof. It is also said on opparerft equal authority that Alexieff will refurn as chancellor of the empire, succeeding Count Lamsdorft None of these reports are definitely confirmed. Grand Duke Nicholas is still a young man, not yet 45, with much of his father's dash, energy and resolution. There is reu son to believe that even with the memories of the horrors of the Shlpka campaign against the lurks, of which he was the witness as a ,jang captain of cavalry, he would favor a winter campaign against the Japanese. The dispatch of the grand duke as com mander of both armies would accord with tho traditions of the Romanoff dynasty, a member of which Imperial family hus al ways been In conunund in all of Russia's great wars. It Is agreed by the nbltst military men here that should Nicholas be appointed, de spite the fact that his experience has been j as a cavalry colnmander, the selection of I his chicf-of-stuff will become a matter of j supreme importance. A counsellor of wide actual experience in general command will become an Imperative necessity. Generals DragomlrolT, Vorentzoff and Sougartfltuy, veterans and heroes of the Turkish war, are mentioned for the post. Russia's recognition of the fact that the forces now in the far east cannot success fully prosecute the wr egalnpt the men Japun is able to put in tho field, and the knowledge that the latter power is now mobilizing 100,000 more men for the front, and the decision to reorganize the Russian army upon a gigantic scale in order to be ablo to asrume the offensive quickly, marks a distinctly new phase of, the war. The phvsical difficulties to be reckoned with in promptly getting out such large reinforce ments over a single line of railway more than 6,000 miles long are fully realized; but with the Clrcum-Bnlkal railway com pleted the authorities expect to practically double the present capacity for tjie trans portation of men, munitions and provisions and send out two corps Instead of one monthly. Within three months three corps are expected to reach Harbin, swelling the total number of Russian soldiers In.Man rhurla to considerably over tVW.ono. In the meantime the armies at he front, con tinually augmented by fresh troops, will act as a buffer to hold In check the Japa nese until the army will be able to assume the aggressive through sheer weight of numbers. In the reorganization special plans have he?n made to overcome the deficiency In guns under which the Russians hnve been laboring. Over (Wi additional field and rapid ; fire guns sre to be sent to the front.. The great struggle for the mastery of the far east now seems destined to assume Titanic pre portions. The alteration of the now familiar state j ment that the military situations at the . front is unchanged, Is believed to Indicate I that in view of the shifting of the forces, the probability of fresh important develop, mcnta there Is not Immediate. General Kouropatkln deems It wise to mike public unofficial advices which Indicate that Mar quis Oyama Is slowly continuing to ad. vance. Ills tendency seems to be to the northeast. Till" may be prompted by ree. ognltion of China's superstitious reverence for Mukden, the Japanese being anxious to remain on the best of terms with the Chinese. It la also likely that the pres. nr of the Hun river In front of Muk den c. nvlnced the Japanese of the Im possibility, from a sttattglc point of view, of making a frontal attack, while. If they succeed. .1 In gaining a footing st Fu Pasa or some other point on the north Hide of the river nnd north of Mukden, they will render Kouropatkln's position In tha city untenable nnd force him In evaci 4sn? with out fighting, retire northwtrrt .ff.A give battle elsewhere, should he de.iu to con test the Japanese advance. e.

As a re sult of the battle before Port Arthur whictt began on September 10, the Japanese suc ceeded in capturing several Important posts and today tho Russian tenure of the big; forts guarding the north, northeast and northwest sl.lcs of the town is seriously threatened. Chinese information places the Japanese losses under 3,uo0 for the three days' fight ing, aud this comparatively small casualty list is due to the excessive tare used by the Japanese In making their preparations for tho advance. Russian sources, however, claim to have Information that the Japan ese losses were unusually severe, amount ing to fully three times the number men tioned above. Possibly tho most Important capture dur Ing the three days' fighting was that of Fort Kouropatkln, which, while of minor value with regard to preventing the en trance of the Japanese Into the town, had Leen constructed for tho purpose of pro tecting the source of the garrison's water supply. The control of this water supir la now in the hands of the Japanese. Battle Dealua at Daybreak. As wag announced In these dispatches oil September 20, the buttle began before day break on September 19. At this hour the citizens of the garrison of Port Arthur, after the enjoyment of weeks of compara tive security, awoke to the thunderous re ports of artillery along tho line extenuing from the west of Itz mountain to Rinuluug and Klkwan mountains. This was but a preface to the assault which was destined to result In the tapture' Of three new aud Important Russian positions, together wittt six small annoying forts lying between Shushlyen and Klhlung mountain. During the day and night of the nineteenth and at noon of the twentieth, the bombardment continued without cassation, amr the many shells falling from quarters which pre viously had been tllent made it obvious that the Japanese, had at least succeeded in mounting many heavy guns In new po sitions or in .strengthening their old posi tions. The infantry fighting durtntr this period was comparatively trivial. At noon on September 20 the Japanese right and center, the former belug to tha west and the latter to the east of tho rail road, commenced the advance. The troops made use of the trenches and in frequent natural cover that lay, in their way. The smull forts to the south of Shushlyen re sisted this advance but briefly, their garri sons not being strong numerically. Since the beginning of the bombardment the ar tillery fire from Fort Kouropatkln had boen growing steadily weaker and It hav ing become apparent that it had been practically silenced the Japanese assaulted ,Vtn ....

It derives its name from the time when Gen eral Kouropatkln Inspected It, pointed out the weakness of the position und ordered that It be strengthened as far as possible because of the necessity of protecting the water supply. While situated In the chain of main forts Fort Kouropatkln never has been as strong as the others, and after severe fighting It ffll Into the hands of the Japanese. This capture lessens further the security of the fort on Rlhlung mountain, which is now threatened from a new quar ter, as well aa from Pallchuang. . At 6 o'clock of the afternoon of the th the Japanese captured a supplementary fort, which from the lower ground threat ens the fort on Its mountain. This ended, the heavy fighting for that day. although the Japanese Inter were compelled to resist several sorties. Grlpiiraberg Goes to Manchuria. ST.
