Crawf nrdavllle Senator
Dealea a Report.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Nov. t-Nearly
twenty speeches were made today by Sen
ator Charles W. Fairbanks In western In
diana, beginning at Bloomlngton, In the
morning, and concluding with a large and
enthuslastlo everlng meeting at Terre
Haute. College demonstrations were nota
ble features of the day's tour, students
turning out In large numbers at Blooming
ton, Greencastle and Crawfordsvllle.
In a brief speech at Newport Senator
Fairbanks took occasion to deny a pub
lished report that In th event of the dem
ocrats carrying the Indiana legislature he
would refrain from qualifying as vice pres
ident If elected and would remain in tho
senate.
In hi speech at Crawfordsvllle before
otie of the largest audiences of the day
Senator Fairbanks referred gracefully to
General Lew Wallace, who Is a resident
of Crawfordsvllle. Here he said In part:
We are obliged In a few days to declare
our allegiance to some political party. It
no.ii.cia nui wnai we say nere or wnat we
think here unnn rinlltii-ul nuixiinn. hut it
is all linportunt what we do at the ballot
uo oi nexi Tuesday, jr we are In favor
of republican policies and their continu
ance we must so declare our potent Judg
ment at the ballot hm.
I observe that there are some of our
countrymen greatly distressed over the
suDject ot Imperialism. When I heard the
enthusiastic cheers that came up from
the boys of Wabash college. I did not dis
cover in their manifestation of kindly
Interest any apprehension as to the future
of the republic.
The renubllcan nartv hna been h ht
friend of republican institutions we have
uaa since me time or Ueorge Washington.
It knows something about what this re-
ublio standi for. In a serious hour the
ltternens of which had faded away and
I hope is gone forever the republican
party stood for national unity. It stood
for the maintenance' of the supremacy of
our flag In the United States. Our course
in the Philippines Is oonslsten with the
principles of republicanism. We went Into
them under the leadership of on of the
best statesmen this country has ever pro
duced, WUllam McKlnley. You do well to
cheer that name. Among all the mighty
dead none will stand higher through the
future In the esteem and admiration of
the world. Theodore Roosevelt stands for
the same policies for which William Mc
Klnley stood. You have heard that name
before, my countrymen, you will hear much
of It In the future. Theodore Roosevelt
Is carrying forward the policies of Wil
liam McKinley, not only In the United
States, but is carrying forward his policies
In the far oft Philippines. I do not blame
our democratic friends for trying to erect
an issue in the Philippines. I do not really
blame them for trying to win the minds
of the American people from a contempla
tion of democratic mistakes at home by
crying Imperialism in the Philippines. If
th republican party had been so uniformly
opposed to great and wholesome pollelei
In the United States, and had been guilty
of so many mistakes I would be in favor
,f Ahat,. Party creating an Issue 8,000 or
80,000 miles away.

positively that Colonel Cody and his scouts
will take no part In tha hunt for the Cody
bank robbers,
The statement attributed to Colonel Cody
In Omaha that the federal government had
several thousand dollar on deposit In the
local bank, the funds to be used In the
completion of the big Shoshone Irrigation

closer to the outlawa and their capture Is
now certain, says theofficer.
Feeling Is still running high throughout
the country and the fate of the bandits
Is certain death tha moment they fall into
the hands of the indignant people.
Sheriff Fenton had " a conference with
Sheriff Stough of Fremont county and th
two officers will leave again In the morning
for the Bad Lands In the vicinity of Tarb-
creek, east ;of the Big Horn river. wHesf
Fenton believe he has the outlaws sur
rounded.,. The officer will endeavor to pre
vent the robber from penetrating th In
terior of the Bad Lands, for once Inside
their capture would become an extremely
hacardou task.
During the day posse patrolled the open
country between Cottonwood, Grass, Goose
beiTy and Owl creeks.
The. fact developed today that the out
lawa after leaving Cody Tuesday evening,
traveled ' over, the main county . road to
within four miles of .this place, then made
a detour to ths .southwest and entered th
main road again- six mile outt They have

BALDWIN RECOVERS AIRSHIP
It Had Anchored Itself to Dead Tree
I and Was But Slightly
Injured.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 8 The airship of Cnp
tain T. 8. Baldwin, which suddenly slipped
away last night as it was being towed in
from the country to the aeronautic con
ccurse, wan found today sixteen miles west
Of St. Louis. It was unharmed by It wild
night flight save for two small rents In the
gas bag, which Captain Baldwin stated
could be repaired In half an hour.
When the . "Arrow" escaped there was
Just enough gna to lift the craft well off
th ground. Inventor Baldwin expressed
his belief at tho time that the cold night
air would condense the gas rapidly and
cause the airship to come down in the
vicinity of St. Louis. After floating In the
wind for sixteen , miles th airship came
down to within a short distance of the
ground and the anchor rope became en
tangled In the dnnd limb of a tree. This
served as an anchor ane. the airship was
found so moored In a com field by farmers.
Word reached Baldwin late In the day
that his airship had been ..found. Ho and
Aeronaut Knabcnshue hurried to th scene
In an automobile and were rejoiced to find
the aerial craft uninjured, with the excep
tion of two slight tears In the balloon.
The- balloon was deflated nnd after ne
gotiation had been completed with a
farmer the collapsed airship was loaded
onto a hay wagon and brought back to tha
exposition aerodrome.
'Captain Baldwin stated tonight that ha
expeoted to have the airship In readiness
.lor a flight by Saturday afternoon.

MICHAEL DAVITT ARRIVES
Irish Leader Cornea to New Tork for a
Month's Stay Talk of Affairs
la England.
NEW TORK, Nov. 8. Michael Davitt ar
rived today on the White Star' line steam
ship Cedrlo. He said he came on private
business and that he will return to Ire
land in December. In an Interview he
said:
I believe the Russian fleet firing on the
Ashing fleet was the result of some misun
derstanding. It was the result of an over
sight. Such a thing as might happen to
anyone else. German and KngliHh papers
had intimated that the Japanese might
attack th Russian fleet in the North sea.
Russia knew that when she was on the
coast of Ireland, she was on the coast of
an enemy, Just as surely as though England
had declared open war upon her. She whs
certainly Justified In view of these fuels
in taking no clmnces. Of course, all re
gret the loss of life. No one, not even In
England, believes that Russian naval of
ficers would fire on fishermen if thev knew
t'r.em to be such.
Political matters are simmering In Eng
land. The government, which is sure of
d feaf, will call the election at a time when
It can do It the least harm.
Chamberlain has gone to Egypt. Some
say he Is politically run down more thun
he Is physlcHlly, He is knocked out of the
political ring.

Confirm Loss of Jnp Ship. ,1
PARIS, Nov. 8. The Associated Press ll
was put In a position today to state posl- t
tlvely that Its dispatches from Ch Foo, y
Port Arthur and Toklo lost June to tha lj
errant tnar tne jananose uaiueanir) xasn i
ima had been sunk by a mine off Dalny, 1
which dispatches were denied by tha Jap- I
anese authorities at the time, hav flnails
been officially confirmed. The Japan
government has notified foreign govern '
ments of the loss of the ship. The number
of men who went down with the vessel 1
not known, but It Is believed to have been, j,
small. The official details show that th '
YeHhlma struck a Rusxlan mine and later I
attempted to make Dalny harbor, but thl !
proved Impossible and It sank In deep
water. j
The loss of the Yashlma ha been con-
cealed by the Japanese, though the Rus
sian authorities have believed for torn
time that the reports that the battleship
had been destroyed were correct, Jt Is Im
portant since It Is now disclosed that !
Japan has only four modern battleship
remaining. 1 These are the Asahl, Fuji, '
Mlkasa and Shlklshlma, Another vessel
classed a a battleship Is th Chin Yan,
taken from China In 1894, but It Is old
and not of much fighting value. Naval
experts say that the small battleship fore 1
possessed by Admiral Togo was renponslbl
for the tactics he observed at the naval 1
battle of August 10, when Admiral Wlthoft
attempted to escape from Port Arthur, th
Japanese battleships refusing to come to
close quarters with the enemy, but pound
ing them from a distance and sending In 1'
the torpedo bout destroyers to make night
attack. The Yashlma was one of the tin
est battleships of the Jupanese navy. It
displacement was 12,300 tons, about th
size of the American battleship Maine, and
It had a speed of nineteen knots. It cur
ried a heavy battory of four twelve-Inch, ten
six-inch and twenty-four other guns of
smaller calibre. Tho Russian squadron nt
Port Arthur Includes five modern battle
ships, more or less damaged, and Rear
Admiral Rojcstvc tisky's command, which I
now enroute from the Baltic to the. far east,
also numbors five battleships. In view of
the Inferiority of tha Japanese In battle
ships their armored cruiser strength Is Im
portant, they being vastly superior to th
Russians in this respect.
Apprehension nt St, Petersburg.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 41.85 a, m.
There Is a scarcely veiled feeling of rel et
throughout St. Petersburg that tha duy
has passed without bringing news of tha
fall of Port Arthur, There had bten con-
Idnrat'le fear that the Japanese mlt)t
push home the final alttck today. It '
now felt that there may tome anotli1
period of reHpl'. The authorities state
that they aro without direct news from
Port Arthur and everyone Is di pending
upon foreign sources for tiding! of th 0.
voted garrison.
Nothing of Importance ha developed In
the region of Mukden.
