HAY SPEAKS AT BIG RALLY.
New York Crowd Is So Large That
Doors Have to Be Locked.
NEW YORK, Oct. 25. The crowd at the
Republican mass meeting in Carnegie Hall
tonight waff -so large that the doors were
locked at 7:80 o'clock. At that time all
the available space within tho hall was
filled and several thousand people were
crowded about: tho entrance seeking ad
mission. John Hay. Secretary of State, who made
the first speech, was given an ovation
when he appeared. The band played and
flags were waved in every part of the
house, while the audience cheerd.
The audience rose as one man when the
presiding officer characterized President
Roosevelt "a man whom all admire and
love."
Great cheering greeted Secretary Hay
as ho arose. He said In part:
None of ns will make tho mistake of think
ing the contest of this year unimportant. On
the contrary, it goes down to the very foun
dations of our National welfare. It is no(
campaign rhetoric, it Is merely the simple
fact to say that nothing but disaster could
follow the reversal of the policies to which
we are indebted for the prosperity of the past
few years. The country cannot afford to give
up the gold standard and to drift on the ehlft
lng currents of financial experiment and
quackery. It cannot afford to give up the prin
ciple and practice of protection to American
industries. Any radical meddling with the
tariff would throw 1000 industries Into con
fusion and bring many to ruin. Stability,
unity of purpose. Is absolutely necessary td
the complicated and delicate machinery of
modern business, where the change In the
price of a single by-product may vitally affect
the prosperity ot a great Industry and may
make all the difference "between comfort and
want to thousands of worklngmen and their
families. Nobody denies that the tariff must
from time to time be revised. But it is too
evident for argument that the revision must
be intrusted to friendly hands to those who
believe, as a matter ot business and of pub
lic morals, in the policy of cherishing Ameri
can manufactures and of caring for the well
being of millions of American workmen. It
Is not & matter to he handed over to those
who insist at the Ptart that American in
dustries have no right to protection at all,
and that such protection is "the robbery of the
many for the benefit of the few." It was an
old maxim .of English law that said, "A
child should not be given in charge to a nurse
that loves It not."
Neither can the country afford to Intrust
its vast domestic Interests to those who de
nounce as extravagant and unconstitutional
all money spent for the "general welfare," to
promote which was one of the special objects
for which the Constitution was brought Into
bring. Do we want to give our gallant little
Army to the care of those who think It ought
to be disbanded, or our Navy which, under
this Administration has carried our flag into
so many distant seas, never on a wanton er
rand of hostility, but always as the friend
of American commerce and the protector of
our citizens do w want it handed over to the
men who will eay It ought to be thrown to
the scrap heap? Do we want the Phlllplnes
abandoned to be the victims of misrule at
the hands of their own agitators, or the prey
of any covetous power that may wish -to en
clave them for its own prollt? Do we want
to raeak out of the Isthmus of Panama, ack
nowledge we have no right there and basely
surrender the hope and the dream of centu
ries? And -do we want to f oreoke and repudi
ate the foreign policy of McKlnley and Roose
velt, which' was also the policy ot Lincoln
and Monroe, which had its august origin In
the heart and brain of George "Washington,
of treating all countries as friends, doing busi
ness with all the peoples of good-will, meet
ing court mtt with courtesy and wrong with
firmness, being Just to all nations and partial
to none.?
Touching upon Parker's, declaration
that the Philippines should be.promised
Independence, Mr. Hay said;
Judge Parker eays further that the Philip
pines have cost us 200,000 lives, wherein he
Is wrong to the extent of about 195,0000. But
these mere errors in his figures, gross as they
are, do not compare with the monstrous lev-
- i -
lty 'with which ha proposes to tal;e a step
which would cover ns with Indelible discredit,
which would be an abdication of our posi
tion In the Pacific, ihe surrender of our com
mercial prestlee In the Far East, a base
treachery and betrayal of the loyal and In
telligent Filipinos who have trusted us. and
direct Invitation to Intestine war and for
eign Invasion. And if he pretends that we
zhould relinquish control of them and stm
be responsible for their acts that we should
give up the task of civilizing them, asd still
stand between them and a hostile or covet
ous nvorld. no matter what they may do the
Inhumanity 'of such a proposition is only
equaled by its want of common sense.
It Is a blunder well-nigh incredible for him
to say that we should treat the Philippines
as we did Cuba? There is no analogy between
the two cases. "We have never owned Cuba;
we have never claimed to own it. The Phil
ippines aro ours by every sanction known to"
public law; by fortune of" war, by treaty, by
purchase, by occupation, by undisturbed and
undisputed possession. To say that the cases
are tho same and require the same treatment
simply shows in the man who says it & con
fusion ot mind or a deliberate misrepresenta
tion, either cf which proves hlmto be In tho
words of one of Judge Parker's most ardent
admirers "not? fit to be President this year
or any other year."
It quickens the pulses to think what splen
did progress we are to make on every line of
National welfare in the next four years with
Theodore Hooeevelt at the helm. In the
strength of his young manhood, with lofty
hopes and purposes, with large experience of
life, with the country his only care and God
his guide, He will nil his high office with rev
erence for the law and the Constitution "as
ever la his great taskmaster's eye." His Just
fame in history will add a new splendor to
the glory of his native state.
Men of New York! Will you allow It to be
said that while the rest of the country stood
by him you fell away? "When President
Roosevelt ascends the steps of the Capitol
next March, shall it be said that his mother
state T" no part In hbr triumph? If that
shall be so, yours will be the loss, not his.
Many times while he was speaking Mr.
Hay was interrupted by applause, and
there was a great outburst of cheering
when he finished.
Ex-Governor Frank S. Black also spoke.
Lieutenant-Governor Higglns also spoke
and was enthusiastically received.
TAKES FLING AT BARRETT.
Bryan Refers to Panama Minister in
Discussing "Big Stick."
SOUTH BEND, Ind., Oct. 26. W. J.
Bryan left here today In his special car
for another day of speech-making In In
diana, Knox being the first town at which
an address was announced to be made.
After speaking at Knox and North Jud
son, Mr. Bryan addressed a gathering In
Wlnamac. He said:
"We have been trying to point out
to Republicans the fact that President
Roosevelt is changing tho Ideals of the
Nation and substituting the 'big stick'
for the light of liberty, but many have
refused to believe It. Now an ap
pointee of this administration has come
to our aid and declared this change in
language 'so plain and forcible that no
Republican can longer doubt It. I re
fer to the article written by John Bar
rett, United States Minister to Pana
ma. It is a campaign document con
tributed by the President's appointee,
and spread broadcast as an argument
in favor of Mr. Roosevelt's election. I
call your attention particularly to a
paragraph which reads as follows:
" 'If they -who today- are stumping
the land against President Roosevelt
could have gone to foreign parts In
the old days wrhen the flag stood for
nothing, when American merchants and
travelers were everywhere snubbed,
when our Army and Navy wer the
laughing stock of tho world, when we
had no influence In the councils of the
nations; and if then they could have
Journeyed around the world now,
when the flag means more .than the
standard of any other nation, when our
merchants have access to all markets,
when our Navy Is respected in every
port and when our advice Is sought In
every conclave of powers, they would
In sheer sense of stricken conscience
renounce their present attitude and
pray for the success of a party which
Has accomplished this mighty change
and of, a leader whose name Is honored
in the most remote portions of the
earth.'
"Republicans, what do you think of
this? What do you think of 'the old
days when the flag stood for nothing?
Washington held that flag In his hands.
Did it stand for nothing then? Did It
stand for nothing- when our revolution
ary fathers- followed It from Bunker
Hill to Yorktown? Did It stand for
nothing when it was In tho hands of
Jefferson, tho author of the Declaration
of Independence? Did It stand f6r
nothing when Itwas held aloft by the
elder and younger Adams? Did It
stand for nothing when Madison held
it or when it was held bv Monroe, who
has given his name to the Monroe doc
trine? Did It 'stand for nothing in the
hands of Jackson, in the hands of Lin
coln, of Grant, of Hayes and Garfield
and Harrison?
! "Did It stand for nothing until It be
came the emblem of an empire and be
came the companion of the President's
big stickr Did It begin tq stand for
something only when It waved over
Filipino subjects bought in a Job lot
at $z.iiu apiece.' .rtepuDiicans. did you
indorso this doctrine or will. you put
It aside and say that it is merely the
flattery of an office-holder who kneels
before this new-built throne and eulo
gizes the man from whose hand ho re
ceives his daily bread?
"Barrett is a true and faithful expo
nent of the policy of our President. He
speaks with brutal frankness of the
new DOlicy that tho Nation is to pur
sue it imperialism is indorsed.
"We must forget all that we have
ever known of patriotism and the prin
ciples of government before we can
throw our hats in the air and cheer
for Roosevelt and his colonial policy.
Surely there must be a multitude of
Republicans who will refuse to apolo
gize for a century of glorious history, as
they must do if they indorso tho doctrine
of Barrett and tho doctrine of Roosevelt."
At Renssaelaer. Mr. Bryan referred to
the destruction there recently by dyna
mite of the home of Thomas McCoy, son
of a banker who failed. Mr. Bryan used
the Incident to condemn Governor Pea
body, of Colorado, "as an application of
Imperialism to American politics."
BRYAN ENDS INDIANA TOUR.
Strongly Urges His Friends to Sup
port Parker.
HAMMOND, Indv Oct 26. Mr. Bryan's
tour of Indiana ended at Hammond,
where an overflow meeting was held In
addition to the regular one annunced.
Hero Mr. Bryan spoke as follows:
"As this is my last meeting In Indiana,
and the end of my ten days' tour of the
state, I desire to make- this farewell
appeal to those who voted for me when
I was a candidate. Let no friends of mine
hesitate about the support of. tho ticket.
Let no friend ot mine Imagine that he
can help me -by contributing toward the
election, of Roosevelt. Judge Parker's
election will hasten every reform In
which I am Interested by removing" from
the arena of politics the questions -which
now divert public attention from econom
ic and Industrial problems.
"President Koosevelts election would
delay every reform in which I am Inter
ested by keeping Imperialism and kindred
Issues before the country, and none can
tell what new Issues .this warlike spirit
may compel us to meet during the next
four years.
"A victory for our National ticket will
not be a victory for Parker alone.. It
will be a victory for me as Well, because
I made my canvass on imperialism four
years -ago and stood then where' Parker
stands now. If we can only overthrow
the doctrine of Imperialism there will be
glory enough In the victory for all of us.
You can't help liking them, they are

EXPECT AN ATTACK
Russians Believe the Japanese
Will Soon Strike.
ALL. IS QUIET AT MUKDEN
Clothlrrg of the Dead Shows the
Mikado's Army Is Prepared
for, a' Winter Cam
paign. MUKDEN, Oct. 26. The appointment of
General Kuropatkin as Commander-in-
Chief was received . with universal ap
proval. It will greatly facilitate the mili
tary operations.
The Japanese attack is now expected
shortly. The Russian batteries continue
to harass the Japanese. Otherwise all
Is quiet.
The Japanese dead recently found
showed by their warm clothing that the
Japanese are prepared for a Winter cam
paign, whereas the Russians have not re
ceived their Winter outfits.
On Sunday night the Japanese made a.
feeble attempt upon Lone Tree Hill, but
the attack was not pressed. The Rus
sians used several siege guns of great
range on Monday, bombarding the Japa
nese positions near Shakhe. The Japa
nese replied with shlmose shells. The
Chinese say the Russian fire destroyed
three Japanese field pletes.
The Japanese have evacuated Shakhe
railroad station, but It and the railroad
bridge between the lines are in the field
of firo of both sides.
Although it is reported that there is no
activity on the Russian left flank, little
Is really -known concerning the situation.
A Japanese movement from the west
along the railroad Is reported, but this
nas not been confirmed. On Mondav a
heavy artillery fire was heard westward.
The Japanese prisoners say the cold
weather is causing an Increase of Illness
among their troops.
The tree which gave Its name to Lone

PERFECT RAIN OF LEAD.
Fighting at Tumln Pass Was of the
Most Desperate Character.
WITH GEN. RENNENKAMPFF-S
COLUMN. (By Courier, via Mukden, un
dated.) The critical day of General
Gerngross attack on Tumln Pass was
October 10. The Russians divided into
three groups, the extreme right - beint
composed of two battalions of sharpshoot
ers in command of Lieutenant Gariatsky
and the same units were In the center
under Lieutenant Nlchausoff. The left
was composed of parts of the Yenesel
and Krasnoyarsk regiments. The bat
teries opened against Eagle Nest Rock,
commanding the pass. The country in
front of the positions was very broken
and the attacking columns of infantry
suffered greatly from the shrapnel fire
of the Japanese guns.
The attack began about daylight, and
about noon the attacking columns
reached the hills adjoining Eagle Nest
Rock. The mlddlo column, balked by tho
precipitous character of the rock, stopped
00 yards from the top. Meantime from
the observation point the Russians saw
a line of rocks along the crest which
were used to mask the Japanese batter
ies, up to 1 o'clock the intensity of the
artillery fire Increased. It was then sig
naled to stop. Reserves came up and
storming began, the men going forward
by rushes, clambering the slopes by aid
oi trees or ousnes and dragging each
other up. As the Russians advanced
perfect rain of lead was poured down
upon them and stones which bad been
placed in position over night -were also
thrown down, killing many.
At the same time the flanking column
went forward at double quick In the face
of the murderous volleys, losing many.
The scene was one of horror. Many
batteries went Into action singing the
national anthem. Instead of their cus
tomary hurrah, tho Japanese tried to
confuse the Russians by singing the Rus
sian anthem.
The right column reached and occu
pled the first line of trenches and the
Japanese Immediately retired to thesec-
ona line ana opened u. muruerous lire.
Both sides stuck to their trenches, fir
ing point blank at each other. The Jap
anese once attempted to charge. They
rose as one man -In their trenches, "but
dropped back under a withering fire. The
fighting continued for two hours, when
the Japanese received reinforcements
and the Russians were forced to retire
The slaughter was great, not only ho-
cause of the rifle fire, out by reason of
a peculiar hand-granade which the Jap
anese threw in large quantities. A high
explosive caused these bombs to shatter
Into thousands or pieces, riddling every
thing in the vicinity in which they ex
ploded.
On the left there was much hand-to
hand fighting, and many men were
clubbed or bayonetted In the melee.
GLAD ALEXIEFF IS OUT.
Russians Believe He Will Return,
Now Kuropatkin Is In Power.
ST PETERSBURG. Oct. 26. Viceroy

Kuropatkln's appointment is in the same
trrandlose vein as Kuropatkln's order- of
w.iwvj.i , " " " " - "
ill-starred document-
While Alexleff takes particular pains.
in turning over the supreme command of
the land forces to Kuropatkin, to inform
the soldiers and the world of the marks
of imperial confidence reposed In him, and
to announce that he will remain as Vice
roy, tho order is considered as virtually
his farewell address, and that It will soon
bo followed by his return to St. Peters
burg. His elimination as a factor In the
military situation has caused a sigh of
relief.
The papers all welcome the announce
ment of Kuropatkln's appointment to the
chief command as a well-merited recom
penso for the manner in which he dls
charged the difficult role Imposed '.upon
him, and. reading between, the lines, as a
promise of better results now that Alex
left Is eliminated, and there is no longer
a prospect of elevation of a Grand Duke
to the supreme command.

Russia May Buy the Calchas.
TACOMA. Wash., Oct. 26. It Is current
talk In well-informed shipping circles that
negotiations are on between the Russian
government and Alfred Holt & CO., of
Liverpool, for the purchase of the steam
ship Calchas, which the Russians cap
tured on the way to Japan and took as a
prize to Vladivostok. It is said the pur
chase price Is 5730.000, which will be ample
to cover all the damages incurred in the
seizure of the vessel. It is said the ship
cost $500,000. but others say from 5300,000
to 5100,000 would be a good price for her.

Case Has Been Settled.
ST. PAUL. Oct. 26. Private advices from
a source In Wall street which Is generally
possessed of reliable secret Information
are to the effect that a settlement of the
Northern Securities case has already been
effected. The statemnt from New York is:
"The securities deal was put through
finally just before President James J.
Hill's departure for St. Paul, after hl3
recent visit in New York. The substantial
lines of the settlement were marked out
and are definitely agreed to by the various
interests. Details of the settlement are
In the hands of perhaps a half-dozen men,
who are carefully guarding them from the
public and who, it is anticipated, will not
make a public announcement for some
time, until the plan is well on toward
completion."
Inquiries have been coming from New
York today for information of "President
Hill's new acquisition in tne Nortnwest
arid details of the big deal now in prog
ress." Further than the securities settlement.
nothing Is known ot other deals of Im
portance now pending.
At Northern Pacific headquarters mucn
faith Is placed In the outlined settlement
of the securities troubles, and the division
of Interests outlined Is welcomed.
SAYS HARRIMAN HAS OPTION.
St. Paul Paper Sure Deal for Chicago
Great Western Is Pending.
ST. PAUL. Minn., Oct. 26. The Dispatch
today, commenting on the alleged option
given the Union Pacific by President
Stickney, of the Chicago Great "Western
Railway, says:
Local railway circles today were great
ly Interested In the report that the Union
Pacific had secured an option on the
Chicago Great Western. The Maple Leaf
will by this movement cease to be a 'dis
turber of traffic' In the west and north
west, and become aligned with the Union
Pacific properties as part and parcel of
the big central transcontinental system,
with which It connects both at Omaha
and - Kansas City, supplementing the
Union Pacific through route west of the
Mississippi River gateways with connect
ing links, which are imperatively neeaea
between', the Missouri and Chicago and
the Missouri and the Northwestern com
mercial centers.
"For several days Judge Cornish, vice-
president of the Union Pacific, and for
merly of St. Paul, has bejn In the city.
He left for the East on Monday even
ing. It 13 now believed that his presence
signified tne acquisition of the Great
"Western and the rapid completion of the
details of a transfer.
"The fact that an option has been given
Is declared to be a settled fact.
"The Union Pacific has been given tho
privilege of a purchase within a specified
time, and it is now at liberty to take over
the property If subsequent Investigation
and consideration prove that the action
Is desirable.
"These facts are now believed to have
behind them the rapid advance of Great
Western common, which has sold as low
as 56 a share, and which has Just
touched 244 on Monday without apparent
reason, beyond the knowledge that a deal
for the property has been In progress."
In connection with the union Pacific-
Great Western deal the Dispatch savs
that the option given the Union Pacific
Railway on the Great Western property
has a direct bearing on the Northern Se
curities settlement, and continues:
"Private advices received by a St Paul
railroad official from New York Indicate
that the settlement of the Northern Se
curities Company trouble is near at hand.
the most important feature being that the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific will
be separated and operated without refer
enco of one to the other. The plan of
settlement Is that the Great Northern
and the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul
aro to bo aligned and the Northern Pa
cific, Burlington and Union Pacific are to.
be grouped together.
Harrlman Denies It."
NEW YORK, Oct 26. A rwport that the
Union Pacific Railroad had secured an
option on the Chicago Great Western
Road was denied today by President Har
rlman, of the Union Paclfl system.

Women, held here today. In Liberty Hall,
was aevoted to an address by Mrs. May
Wright Sewell, of Indianapolis, honorary
president or tne council. In denning its
aims and purposes she said:
The International Council, composed of
Asauonai councils, stands for social
peace and International arbitration, a sin
gle standard or morality and the abolition
or every right and privilege of Govern
ment that is limited by sex.
in many ways the progress of our
council has been retarded by the several
wars which have arisen since its organi
zation. The action taken by Christian
nations during the late Boxer troubles.
such as the looting of temples, the Ill-
treatment of priests and the violation ot
women, deserves most severe criticism.
Relative to the present conflict rajdnjr
In the Orient, If every one of our 7,000.000
members had done her duty war would
have probably been averted. The present
attitude of our Government toward the
extension of the Navy is subject to con
demnation. The argument advanced that
the building of warships will establish a
feeling of security Is ridiculous. Are we
not mad? Have we not forgotten our
origin? Have we not forgotten our des
tiny? "In speaking of a single standard of
morality, it is blasphemous nonsense and
a denial of the divine origin of the race to
advocate else.
"As for woman suffrage, It Is an Insult.
to womanhood not to have It."
