The desperate determination of the Japanese to capture this position amounted to fanaticism, their efforts never ceasing during four days.

Their tenure of the position, owing to the fire from the Interior forts, was Inse cure, and when Lieutenant Pgorsky and the volunteers charged the tide turned against them. One battalion, compesed of the remnanta of two companies, was annihilated in the trenches, whk'h' they refused to desert. Another detachment was driven Into the Russian entanglements, svhere Cnptaln SychaTs force was wait ing, and completed Its rout.

But I sm authorised to assure vou thst the American government extends to you a cordial and sympathetic welcome, and shares- to the utmost the spirit and purpose In whloh you have met. The president, so long as he remainr In power, has no thought of departing from the tra ditions bequeathed us by the great sol diers and statesmen of our early hlstorv, which have been strictly followed during the laut seven years. We shall continue to advocate and to carry Into effect, as far as practicable the principle of . the arbitra tion of such questions as may not be set tled through diplomatic negotiations. We have already done much In this direction; we shall hope to do much more. The presi. dent Is now considering the negotiation of treaties of arbitration with such of the European powers' as desire them, and hopes to lay them before the senate next winter. And, finally, the president has. only a. few days ago. promised, In response to the re quest of the Interparliamentary union, to Invite the nations to a second conference at The Hague to continue the beneficent work of the conference of 199. . . . Shoold. Mitigate Horrors of War.. , I'nhapplly, we cartnot foresee In the Im mediate future the cessation of wars upon the. earth. We ought therefore to latoor constantly for the mitigation of the horrors of war, especially to do what we can to lessen the sufferings of those who hsve no part in the struggle. This has been one of the most warmlv cherinhed wishes of the Inst two administrations.. It haa not been thought advisable by the president during: the post summer to call the attention of the powers to a pro ject which would necessarily be regarded by two of them, and possibly by others, with reference to its bearing upon, the de plorable conflict now raging In the far east. But as we earnestly pray that the return of peace may not be long delayed between the two nations, to both of which we are bound by so many historic ties, we may confidently look forward at no distant day to Inviting the attention of the - na tions to this matter,' and we hopeHwe may have the powerful Influence of this great organisation In gaining their adherence. The time allotted to me is at an end, I can only bid you godspeed In your work. The task vou have pet yourselves, the pur pose to which you are devoted, have won the praise of earth and the blessing of heaven since the morning of time. The noblest of all beatitudes Is the consecra tion promised the peacemakers. Even If, In our time, we may not win the wreath of olive: even If we may not hear the golden clamor of the trumpets celebrating the reign of universal and enduring peace. It Is something to have desired It. to have worked for it In the measure of our forces. And If you now reap no vllble auerdon of your labors, ths peaoe of God, that passes understanding, will be your all-sufflclent reward, Response by Bishop Perelval. Right Rev. John Perelval, D.

FUNERAL OF SENATOR HOAR Cit J of Worcester Bowl Beside th" Body of Iu Foremost Citizen. ADDRESS BY EDWARD EVERETT HALE Body Lay in State at the City Hall Last Evening Intll Oi.lO Bnrlal Will Be at Concord Today. WORCESTER, Mass., Oct. $.-Th city of Worcester today bowed beside the body of its foremost citlsen, Senator George Friable Hoar, while the state of Msssa- chusetts, and in a large measure the na tion, sympathised with the municipality in Its grief. i Rev. Dr. Edwsrd Everett Hale, chaplain of the I'nlted States senate and a life-long friend of Senator Hoar, conducted prayers at the home Just before 2 o'clock. Only members of the Immediate household and a tew neighbors attended this service. The body was then placed in the hearse by the active pallbearers, all present or past secretaries of the senator, and the honorary pallbearers. Sens tor Henry Cabot Lodge, Thomas Jefferson Coolidge, Charles Francis Adams, Attorney General William H. Moody, former Governor W. Murray Crane, General William F. Draper, Judge Francis C; Lowell of Boston, Colonel George H. Lyman . of Boston, Stephen Salisbury, Henry A. Marsh, Dr. G. Stanley Hall .and William E. Rice of Worcester. The active pallbearers and the family escorted the remains to the C'turch of the Unity. Great Crowds Are Present. The militia force of the city, four com. panles of Infantry and a battery of light artillery, under arms, were stationed In the streets to aid the police In the almost unnecessary effort to control the greatest crowd ever seen In the city. As the hearse passed every man bared his head and many women sobbed. The mnui-iiv nf ii.a rhurrh ! ano ami tt was necessary to limit the attendance of representatives of organisations to which the senator belonged and municipality to one person for each. The city of Worcester had its mayor for Its only official repre sentative at the service. The delegation from the United States senate and the house of representatives and the represent atives of the state of Massachusetts filled one-sixth of the seating capacity. Rcr. Dr. Hale's Address. Rev. Or. Hale, who was the first pastor of the Church of Unity, and Rev. Shlppen, the second pastor, now of Brockton, Mass., officiated at the church. Dr. Hale delivered the eulogy. He said: I think that we who knew him In hla home life feel as if no one else knew how to prise him, though a whole country is saui rsMiiK auniiraiion ana tenaer love. '1 here never was a person so slmnle. so natural; never a person who relied so en tirely upon the realities, truth, righteous ness and peace. He could be vehement In expression when need was, but in common life, in common talk, he relied absolutely upon the sincerity of his expression, and X think that faith in the American peopla which expressed itself so magnificently once and again in his public utterances may be traced directly to his faith In man, to his certainty that they were the children or uoa, mat they inherit a divine, nature and to certainty In the being and Presence of God. which would exprena uaeu su i simply, so unexpectedly sometimes, but which was something.' of course. In his life ana in nis taiK. A thousand Deonle have said to me that the death blow came on Christmas eve last year, when she was called away. This was true. No hour passed but he was conscious of the weight he was carrying In trying to live as he lived. But up until im i inn.,, cm 1 1 1 iiaiu LiiuviDiii ui , 1 1 a life from those he loved, even in the stress of public life and ths necessity of even dis pleasing those whom he loved to please, I think we should ail nay that hie life was a hnppwne. It was filled full, oh; filled so full ITiat no one can describe that, but always filled full of something large, un selfish, thoroughly generous, something that he expected others to share with him, something which would make the world a better world, we are not here to analylse so great a character. God grant that the memories of such a man may make us un selfish, upright, courageous and true. We are here to t,hank the good God that such a man nas uvea, to bsk mm to Keep iresn the memory of such a life and to teach us Its lessons. Body Lying- In State. At the conclusion of the service the body was borne to the main corridor or tne municipal building and placed on a cata falque. Thirty-five thousand people passed through City hall and viewed the body be tween 4:80 and 9:30 tonight. The four hours allotted for this ceremony proved Inade quate and an extension of an hour was made. Fifty thousand people massed in front of City hall and adjacent ways. Many cases of fainting women were noted. Police am bulances carried nineteen people from the crush to their homes and others were cared for In the City hall. During the evening the body was removed to an undertaker's shop, where a death mask wsd made. Tomorrow the body will be taken to Con cord for Interment. A Guaranteed Cnre for Piles.

The big building was fairly well filled on tb main floor, but there were hundred of vacant seats In the side balconies, du doubtless to the fact that many people were not aware that they could get good seats for 60 cents until too late, the management having for. some reason peculiarly It own emphasised, by cards In all the street enrs that the reserved seats were 75 cents and $1, and not mentioning the 80-cent prtc until Mr. Sousa's advance man came on the ground. Incidentally, Omaha peopla were told that when the Auditorium was built the people would have all the big attractions placed within reach, that owing to the else of the building the prices could be greatly re duced, and yet 8ousa played last night to hundreds of empty seats at the regglar prices which always obtained at the Boyd. Where the "people" come In Is, a question hlch the Auditorium management can probably answer. Sousa has played far better programs In Omaha than he did last night, but yet Sousa must) he conceded to be the king of all the American bandmasters, and his band has a style, an air, a grace to It which all the others lack. The genernl appearance of the band, individually and collectively, Is always gratifying and the charming bandmaster himself always looks well from his polished heels to the polished "spot" on the back of his head, which Is beginning to increase Its circumference as years roll by. He Is always dressed In tate. from his white kid gloves to his well known beard. The band Is greater than ever In Its In Strumentatlon, and It was a pleasure to notice Mr. Heidelberg, who was such a favorite at the Transmlsslsslppl exposition He was then one of Innes' strongest fea tures. One of the most tasteful and artistic things Isst night was after the applause which greeted the "Processional - of the Knights of the Holy Grail," from "Parsi fal" (Wagner), when Instead of playing some Inappropriate selection as an encore, I Mr- Bousa conducted the band In a cWer arrangement of "Nearer My Ood to Thee." In which the chimes played an effective part. The most Interesting numbers on the pro. gram from the musical standpoint were (apart from the soloists) the "Parsifal" number and the MacDowell music From the popular standpoint, a cleverly Invented paraphrase on "Bedella" and Mr. Sousa's new suite, "Looking Upward," an Ingenious bit of writing, took the honors. Miss Eetelle Llebllng, soprano, was highly satisfactory. She Is a singer who has had a splendid schooling and her tones were exquisitely placed. Mr. Dufsky played good flute obllgatos. Miss Jessie Straus, ' vio linist, made an excellent impression. Mr. Herbert Clarke's cornet playing was refined and artistic. PULLMAN SHOPS ARE.

That four years -csn sometimes make a big difference In politics was shown In the spathetlc manner in which about TOO per sons listened to William J. Bryan savagely attack the republican party for "imperial Ism," President Roosevelt for "militarism' snd the ' Imaginary Incubus of , a huge standing army, In Ancient Order of United Workmen temple, South Omaha, last night The old-time wild enthusiasm that used to punctuate every other sentence from the lips of the orator has been replaced by a little perfunctory handclapplng whenever the speaker paused and looked as though he expected applause. The audience lis tened to his long arraignment of the gov ernment's Insular policy with polite atten tlon, though plainly bored. Even adroit appeals to "worklngmen" did not seem to strike a popular chord. Congressman Hitchcock talked mainly about himself, and his hopes to get back In the national lawmaking body again. J. J. Breen presided over the meeting. which was short, ending not long after 10 o'clock. County and legislative candidates made a erruce of black raiment and per spiring faces for the ruddy countenance of the chief speaker, who exhibited the bene fits of his Colorado trip In everything but the logic of his remarks. Hltrhrork Leads Oft. Congressman Hitchcock talked first. Ho said he spent two hours recently listening to Secretary Shaw's Omaha speech try Ing to find out reasons why. the republican party should be continued In power, and all he could discover was that the country has grown Immensely rich during the last generation and the republican party claimed to be the architect. Mr. Hitchcock com plained that the secretary had said noth ing about the distribution of the wealth. What with brains, Ingenuity, Industry and child and woman labor, we could not help but produce great wealth, the congressman asserted. The republican party, he said. Is the author and champion of laws which are framed for the unequal distribution of the wealth, and he called the party the party of subsidies. Trusts, Mr. Hitchcock averred, are able to exist because of a subsidy In the shape of a tariff voted by republicans for political support. Mr. Hitchcock found fault because the people have something like 150,000,000 In the national banks of the country. He in sisted that It really doesn't matter whether the democratic party Is radical or conserv- live, and It had been both In four years- It Is the party of the people all the time. Mr. Hitchcock then proceeded to tell of his vicissitudes, "butting his head against a stone wall" In Washington. He made it plain that although he had attended nearly every session he was forced 'to take a rear seat and keep pretty still. He made a plea for his own re-election. Once In a while during his speech the con gressman was applauded, principally for his funny stories. Bryan Cordially Greeted. Mr. Bryan looked fresh and strong and received the customary ovation, which was repeated with laughter when a little boy yelled out, "Hello, Billy Bryan." Mr. Bryan endorsed Mr, Hitchcock as a conscientious congressman, but one equally handicapped as all democrats are In the face of the great , republican majority. Regarding the state campaign, he said that while It was true Berge Is a populist, "yet he Is a fusion populist," standing with the democrats on every great question. Berge, he pronounced an Ideal candidate for governor, endowed with moral courage. Mr. Bryan dilated upon the value of moral courage In public office. "Republicans haye not governed the state well," Mr. Bryan declared, charging high taxes, Increase of public debt and extrava gance. He condemned the new revenue law and decried the unequal taxation of railroads. He pleaded tor a fusion legisla ture to deal with the republicans. Mr. Bryan gently reminded his hearers that the legislature had to do with national mat ters in the choice of a United States sena tor, although he was sorry of this fact be cause he favored the election of senators by direct vote of the people. He re call id tbe fact that a senator has to serve six years and therefore Is exceptionally Important.' The speaker said he need not discuss the relative . merits of the presidential candi dates, as Mr. Roosevelt's victory In Ne braska is certain. But he said he thought himself justified In talking about national Issues by reason of the congressional and senatorial elections. "I need not tell you that I was de lighted with the nomination at St. Louis, remarked Mr. Bryan. "I opposed the nom ination of Parker because he did not stand for what we had toeen fighting for In Ne braska for eight years. I stand today for every doctrine I have advocated. J have not recanted and have not withdrawn from where I stood. I have not changed my po sition. I believed three things when I stood before you as a candidate and I be lieve In them today. Likes the Platform. "We got a good plutform. The platform at St. Louts Is bad only where It omits to state the party's position on two ques tionson the money question and the In come tax." . Mr. Bryan gave reasons for not getting out of the democratic party, saying that he thought he could bring about the re forms he advocated better In that way. Ha said h agreed with the populists on many questions and with the socialists on others, such as municipal ownership of publlo utilities, state ownership of rail ways and postal savings banks.

Largest Cnt Glass Vase, The largest piece of cut 'glass In the world, a vase as tall as a man and as brilliant In every part as the finest small piece, haa Just been completed In this city snd will be shipped In a few days to the St. Louis exposition, where it will be plaoed In the Industrial art display. The vase Is five feet six and three-quarters Inches In height, and every Inch of It Is perfectly worked In sunbursts, chrysan themums and beaded and notched effects that shed prismatic rays of brilliance and luster. The sunbursts on the star are too large to be designated by that usual cut glass term,, so they have been given a new name, the Louisiana Purchase star. In all there are 100,000 cuts or deep ln fa- Ions on the vase, which required turning it 200,000 times. The vase weighs 200 pouirds. It was produced by nine men, who spent 2,000 working hours on It The man who made the blank Is six feet seven Indies tall. A shorter man could not have handled the great piece of glass. Twenty blanks ' were turned out before a perfect one was pro duced. . The remsrkable brilliancy of the vase Is caused by the fusing In the glass of 10 per cent more lead than Is ordinarily used. The vase Is several times larger than the pre vious greatest piece of cut glass, completely dwarfing It. Philadelphia Press. Juvenile Jadae for Women.
