Tha various event were executed with a dash that was appreciated liy the specta tor who ormi'il to he nulcker to notice th worthy points than thy did on tha venlng before.

During the galteil ssddle horae. event some criticism was heard In regard to the disparity between the habits worn by the rld.ra and the mounts. This criticism came particularly from momliers of the Hit and Hrldle club, who said they had come to th show to learn all thut wi correct ami proper In connection with the horae. With tin- horse show baa come a revival of the custom of women carrying large bunchaa of ruses, the long-stemmed variety being most It: evidence last evening. This la to be but one of the little fiuls and foil. lea that will fo'low In the wake of the how aa the wek advances. When the third event waa being started rr. limy made a personal request that th promenade be tlllej and In a few mln titea about a hundred of tho braver ones tame closer ti the tanhark and sawdust and the Auditorium began to take on the real appearance of a horae show.

As a matter of fact, there was not much Biore than half the attendance of the night before. A number were heard to express the opinion that the prlcea charged for admission are militating against the at tendance the character of the show merits. Other say that a horse show, being more of a society than a popular event, could not be expected to have a turnaway crowd very evening. Horsemen, generally, how ever, are Jubilant over the show, and say that It will bear fruits In abundance, both y paving the way for future shows and Cpularlung the horse in this section of country. Last evening was South Omaha night and a little dash of ginger was Infused into tb conventionality of the program when the potato rac took place. Most of the riders in this event were from Packing town, and they entered the contest with a seat that reminded the audience of a cir cus rather than a horse show where cor. rectnea and form are the predominant feaiurea The pot aloe race was thoroughly appreciated.

The opening event for roadsters brought out ten entrtea. Some of the Judges ex pressed much pleuaure at the number nnd appearance of the horsea and it was said hardly more entries would be found in the roadster clusa at the New York show. The locale, which Included J. C. Sharp, T. C. Byrne. 1. A. Nash, KYed Paffennrath and lnn O.

Smith of the state circuit court for the Yankton circuit a Judgment against the city of Sioux Falls for the sum of HO.oOO. When the work of con structing the line of the South Dakota Central from Sioux Falls to Colton com menced the railroad company asked aid from 8loux Falls, and with the approval of practically the entire population tne city oounclt voted warrants in the sum of 110,000 to the new railroad company. Before the warrants could be surrendered to the com puny a prominent local attorney secured an Injunction restraining the city from trans ferring the warrants, on the ground that the appropriation of the aum waj Illegal. He afterward withdrew, but one or two other citizens came forward and kept the injunction In existence. The city authori ties were aware of the suit being Insti tuted at Yankton, but never thought that a Judgment would be awarded In tho face of the injunction which was In effect la this city. An effort will now be made to have tho case reopened by Judge Smith and the order grunting tha Judgment with drawn. lew Salt In Stoax Kails Coart. SIOUX FALLS, S. D.. Sept. 27. -(Special.)

' IU'TTE, Mont., Sept. 2T.-Vhen Senntor Fairbanks and his party arrived here they found the republican leaders much excr I rlscd over the publication in the Miners' Magazine, published in Denver by the WeMern Federation of Miners, of what 1 puriKirted to he a denunciation of labor i unions by President Roosevelt, and a denial of Its authenticity by tho president. The president's contradiction waa sent to for mer Senator l.ee Mantle In response to a telegram of Inquiry from him, and was as follows : WlilTK HPI'SR. WASHINGTON. Sept. !Y Your telegram received. The letter you refer to purporting to be addressed by mo to Michael Donnelly and printed In tho .Miners' MaRiiKln - of Septemlier 22 Is. of course, nn alisurd nnd Impudent forgery. I have written no such letter, nor any letter even resembling It. to Mr. Donnelly, nor any one else. I have written Mr. Donnelly requesting to know if he has received any such letter and requesting him. If so, to at once lay 1. before the district attorney of Chicago to find out whether It is possible to discover and punish the forgers. TI I KOI to R K RODS K V E L.T. The letter In which toe president was represented to have made his attack on union labor was addressed to Michael Don nelly of Chicago, president 'if the Butchers' and Meat Cullers' union. The document is given In full, with President Roosevelt's name attached, but without date, and It Is atated that It wns written In response to an appeal by Donnelly to him to Interfere for the settlement of the late butchers' strike. Following are some extracts from It: I atand ready to do as my Illustrious predecessor, Urover Cleveland, did and as sert the power of this nation against all local nulllfiera. Last Hummer I felt Impelled to write a letter calling upon my countrymen to put down lynching. But labor union terrorism and crime are aa great a national menace as lynch law. Let me tell you thnt the first duty of the officers of the law. whether they be sheriff, constable, municipal officers, mayors, gov ernors or the president himself, is to main tain public order and put down the muh with an iron hand. After advising Donnelly to put a stop to the strike the president Is represented as saying: In ury case be assured I will keep my hand i off unless your folly brings you into collision with the laws of the I'nltcd States, then my hand will go on In a way you will not like. So far ns 1 am concerned you huve barked tip the wrong tree. I am not to be either wheedled or frightened Into meddlliiK with what Is none of my buul nebs. SE.ATOIt FAIRBANKS IN MONTANA Speeches nt Anaconda, Butte, nigr Tl in her and (Mher Points. BUTTE, Mont., Sept- 27. With a speech at Anaconda, made late today, and one in this city tonight. Senator Fairbanks con cluded his second day In Montana. Tho Itinerary for the day covered the line of the Northern Pacific railroad from Bllllnga to this point, and thu party passed from the Upper Yellowstone country Into tiio Gallatin valley, crossing the continental divide nnd arriving at Butte very little after schedule time. In additior to Anaconda and Butte, stops for speeches were made at Big Timber, Livingston, Bozeman and Whitehall. At all of these places except Bozeman practically the entire population turned out to welcome the vice presidential candidate and his associates and the exception at Bozeman waa caused by a misunderstand ing of the time of arrival. At Livingston and Big Timber the school children were marshaled for special display and formed a noticeable feature of the meeting. Speeches were made at all stopping places by Senators Fairbanks and Dolllver and ex-Senator Carter, and In each Instance their remarks were frequently punctuated by appluuse. In the main tho speeches were along gen eral lines and consisted largely of appeals to sustain existing conditions by voting the republican ticket. Senator Fairbanks discussed the wool tariff In his speech of the day made at Big Timber. A light rain was falling and the air was decidedly chilly, but despite these facts the attendance was large. The meeting appropriately was held In a large wool warehouse by the side of the railroad track, In which President Roosevelt had also spoken. On the wool question Senator Fairbanks said: It Is the policy of the republican party so as far as possible to diversify industry throughout the I'nited Slates. It has sought to stimulate the establishment of new lndustried by means of protection. It believes lu encouraging sheep husbandry and in stimulating the production of wooien goods in the Lulled States. There is no good reason why the Amer ican farmer should not be able to produce the wool necessary to meet our great und expanding domestic needs. We should not turn over wool growing for our uses to the farmers of Australia, the Cape of Good Hope, the Argentine Republic or elsewhere. We should not pursue a policy which de stroys the American flock, but, on the other hand, should, by the application of the protective principle, encourage sheep raising in our own country. There is a radical difference between the parties upon this Important subject. This difference is nut found only In the plat forms adopted by them, but In the legisla tion of congress. Iuiing the last democratic administra tion wool was worth 7 to 9 cents per pound. Now It Is 17 to 20 cents. We stand face to face with the question ns to whether we chall inntinue the republican purty, under wlil'i, the wool industry has been put upon a profitable basis, or shall return to the democratic policy, which so greatly In jured it. Senator Dolllver also made brief speech. WHITEHILL. Mont., Sept. 27.,-The only approach to an accident that has occurred on Senator Fairbanks' tour occurred today at Dogan, In this state. It consisted In breaking off of the steps on one side of the private car Edmond. There was a brief stop at this point and the lower step was let down, and when the train started it struck the station platform, resulting In the demolition of the entire series of steps. Colonel Ransdell stood on the steps, but escaped without Injury. Senator Fairbanks was ut!:; stum'lng on the station platform and did not try to enter the car until the trula came to a full atop again.

(Special. ) Speaker Cannon opened up at West Point this altei l.oou, and, though the town Is In tho enemy's country, every precinct was repre sented. Fully jieople stood in tt swel tering sun for two hours and listened to tlu distinguished Illlnolsian tell of repub lican principles. Though a rainstorm lliivateiied during the entire speech, the crowd remained to the end and frequently Interrupted with applause. The town was in Its Sunday clothes for the occasion. Hags were suspendi d across Ihe streets, stores were closed and everything denoted great interest In tne meeting. The public schools were dosed and the pupils marched lu a body to the stand 111 the street from which Mr. Cannon talked. Former Treasurer Steufer and E. K. Val entine, who served in congress with Mr. Cannon twenty-live years ago, met tho speaker nt Fremont and went with him to Whs t Pniiit itnvprnor Mlrkrv also JoirUHJ the Party at Fremont and with the other state candidates occupied scats on the platform. Ex-Coiigresjman Valentine pre sided and two bunds and the Oakdate quar tet furnished the music. Mr. Cannon owns land in Cuming county and when this an nouncement was made by the chairman he was at once accepted as one of them and three strenuous cheers were given for him. His speccx was an argument In defense of the republican protective tariff nnd he described protection in this way: When u product is munutacttired in another coun try by labor costing $1 and It Is manu factured here at a labor cost of $2, that urticle cannot be brought Into this country until a tax Is paid equal to the difference lu labor cost lit contrasted the condition of the country under a protective law and under free trade and took a few more shots at Parker's letter of acceptance. lie charged that Parker announced himself hi favor of rescinding the Roosevelt pension order to make himself strong in New York City, where the order Is unpopular. He closed With an eloquent tribute to Con gressman McCarthy and a plea for his re election. Watson Speaks at Norfolk. With ex-Senutor W. V. Allen occupying a scat of honor on the Ktage, the campaign wus begun here tonight. Speeches were made by Speaker Cannon, Congressman Watson and Congressman McCarthy, with Mr. Watson the principal talker. It was his first effort in this North Platte country and he took well. He began lu talk to an audience that wanted to hear Speaker Cannon und ho quit with an audi ence in love Willi Watson. On this occasion Norfolk acquitted Itself well. A committee composed of Judge Barnes, Judge Robertson, Burt Mapes and C. IS. Burhnin met the Cannot, parly at West Point and tho remainder of the town met this party at the Norfolk station and a band was along leiuling tho entire party In carriages to the opera house, where the meeting was held. Congressman McCarthy presided at the meeting and did not fall to compliment Senator Allen for getting on the stage at the right time. Mr. Watson, who has been 111, was suffi ciently recovered to rest Speaker Cannon and was the first and principal speaker. His talk sparkled with good things and he iiad his audience aroused at alt times. He defied the democrats to make the fight fur supremacy this fall on the record of the republican party. He reviewed the history of the republican party from the time of Its organization and he made the statement that not a democratic doctrine was on the statutes. Everything that has been done for -the progress of the country, he said, had. been done under a republican leadership. He denied that there was any relation between the tariff and the trusts and at length he answered the charge of the" democrats that American manufactur ers were selling goods cheaper In foreign markets than In the home m.u ets. He told of an Incident where a manufacturer who said he had a home market for his jods here for seven months in the year, but not for the entire year. The goods manufactured for which there was no sale. he said, had been sold cheaper tn the for- elgn countries on other occasions. Mer chants sold cheaper In order to break Into a new territory, but when their goods he- came Indispensable they Increased the price, He defended the protection lnw and quoted statistics to sustain his position. ' Couraice of Conviction. He told that the republican party was the only party that had tho courage of Its convictions. He told bow they had grap pled with the money question and settled It; the Philippine question, the slavery question and that tho republican party wns the only party that had done anything with the trusts. He read the democratic records where a congressional committee had made its report that trusts were mul tiplying, but left the republicans to fur nish ttie remedy. He. reviewed the merger case to show the republicans had met the emergency. He laughed at the democratic suggestion of militarism and made a great hit when he called Parker a mystery and Davis a reminiscence. He closed with ft good shot for McCarthy, and the audience cheered he reference to the echo. Mr. Cannon closed the speaking with a review of the pension order of Roosevelt and the promise of Judge Parker to rescind it, nnd then sold In substance; "When our leading republican statesmen die the democrats Immediately place them In their salrils' calendar. Thoy did it with Lincoln, with Grant and with Uarlield, and now McKIu'.ey goes Into the calendar as a part of Parker's letter. The democratic platform demands reciprocity with Canadn, and Parker tries to make McKlnley's utter ances on reciprocity favor this plank. The republican reciprocity and t lie kind which McKinley favored was that reciprocity which did not injure the American farmer, producer and laboring man. What does Cariada raise? Nothing but what we do. therefore if we have reciprocity or free trade with Canada we let In products to compete with our own. "That Is why McKinley and the repub lican party did not and does not favor re ciprocity with Canada. McKinley said that we favor reciprocity provided it does not Interfere with American Industry." Mr. Cannon accused Judge Parker of mis. quoting McKinley, nni to IM'istiate it told this suggestive Htory of the Infidel who said be could rove by the Bible that there la no Go.l.

During the last ten days 2.5m 'roups have arrived at Chemulpo, and others arc expected. The Japanese authorities ut Wonson lire collecting 4,m0 pack ponies for the uso of the army to advance northward along tin eastern coast toward Vladivostok. The ad vance has already been begun. Sixteen Hundred Japanese troops, with five machine guns, ooo pack ponies and 4ml coolies, are reported to have arrived at Ham Heung. The advance guard was fired upon by Cossacks. Ten men were killed and seven teen wounded. The Japanese were com pletely surprised and retreated. They are waiting for the main body to come up. The garrison at Wonson is being rein forced from Seoul and Pycng Yun. The Russians, mcnnwhlle, are sending rein forcements south from Kapasan to effect a Junction with the torce nt Puk Chlen. On account of the great difficulties ex perienced in obtaining; pack ponies, the Japanese are shipping large quantities of supplies north from Wonson by cargo boat to Yuln lining. The opinion pervalls here that northeast ern Corea will be the scene of an active winter campaign, and that the Japanese occupation of Lino Yang and Mukden will practically complete the Miinchurian opera tions till the spring. , Meanwhile both belligerents are strongly endeavoring to gain an advantage between the Tunien river and Wonson. It Is reported that the Hank of Japan, an adjunct of the Toklo finance department, Is establishing branches in important cities throughout Corea. This Is probably the first step toward gaining control of the re construction of Cm- en's finances. It Is reported thnt another secret society has been formed In the north by the Cor eans who are pro-Russian In sentiment, with the object of affiliating with the Tong- links, who are lending assistance to the Russian advances.

The gen eral staff has received the following dis patch from General Sakharoff, dated .yes terday: The enemy's vanguard, consisting of one battalion and two squadrons of cavalry, has assu lied the offensive, probably for a reconnaissance, ill the district between the Mandarin road and the heights of the vil lage of T lumytsa. Its advance was stopped by our troops. The enemy retreated along the whole line, pursued by our cavalry. The enemy has not yet advanced north of linvan on the left bank of the Liao river, but an Increased force has been observed In the neighborhood of Slaiuiian. Japa neo cavalry have appeared in the valley of the Liao river. Although un official announcement to the effect is not expected immediately, since it will require some little time to fet Russia's second army In the field, the designation of (irand Duke Nloholas Nicholacvitch, the inspector general of cavalry, as conimander-ln-chlef, Is re, garded ns practically settled. The situa tion at tho fror.t, with the two and per haps ultimate! three big armies, is cou sldurid to dema id, ttbove all else, thnt the supreme commander be of such per sonal authority as to he beyond Jealousies and thu possibility of intrigue on the part of subordinates, and such a man the em peror now realizes can only be supplied by n member of the Imperial family. Grand Duke Nicholas is regarded as being extremely well fitted for this great responsibility. He will not rely upon a single advher, but on a staff comprising the ablest strategists of the general staff, who in reality will constitute a board of direction of military operations. Viceroy Alexleff Is regarded aa almost certain to return here. The report that he may become chancellor of the empire, how ever, is exploded. He Is "more likely to retain his title and come to St. Petersburg, nominally In the capacity of adviser of the emperor, and will thus efface himself as a factor of the military situation In the far east. Latest Develapments at Front, '7 p. in. The latest development In the situation at the front is the definite estab lishment of the fact that Field Marshal Oyama has now begun to move up his left. General Kouropatkin's report today shows that the Japanese have reached Davah, on the west bank of the Liao river. A considerable concentration of Japane&a Is otiscrved nt Sianchan, on the Hun river, thirty-five miles southwest of Mukden, and Japanese cavalry is massing in the valley of the Pu river. The latter Is s tributary of the Hun river, which crosses the line of railway mldwuy between Tie Pass and Mukden, and muy furnish a natural Una of advance from the west. Oynma's armies now apparently cover a front of sixty miles for enveloping movements. His wings are extended to the northeast and west of Mukden. Thus far the Russians have found little strength or pressure from the Japanese center. Oyama seems to be moving with great deliberation, probably gathering strength for a rapid advance of both wings when an attempt is made to close the net. Although the Imaginary lino connecting the extreme Japanese advance east and west of Mukden still passes ten miles below that city, It is evident that the fate of Mukden cannot long be delayed. If General Kouropatkiu intends to try to hold the city, fighting on his Hunks will begin almost Immediately. Estimate of Jap Loss. LONDON, Sept. 2i.
