The enlarged opportunities and the freedom from re­sponsibility or restraint which accom­panied his new situation in life, instead of calling out the "best that there was in the young man, called out the worst. Surrounding himself with companions of vicious tastes and habits, and wilfully closing his eyes $oJ#e future, he entered 1 l p ^ f t * t # « » ^ in a few vears f time reduced him to want. He had learned the trade of a black­smith in his boyhood, and this trade now afforded him the only opportunity he had to keep body and soul together.". In time he found out that even as a crafts­man he could not make a living, for his habits were such that the public could place no dependence in him.

The blacksmith shop was finally closed and Johnson became a common drunk-, ard in the little town where he had been born and where he had grown to man's

estate. All that relatives and friends could do to accomplish his reform was d o n e , b u t t o l i t t l e p u r p o s e ; h e s e e m e d d o o m e d t o fill a d r u n k a r d ' s g r a v e a t a n e a r l y a g e , w h e n , i n 1 8 5 3 , a n o p p o r t u n i t y was' given him to come to the United States.

Rival Party Managers Claim Electoral College Majority—

I New York Disputed.

STRIKE WILL SHUT DOWN COAL MINES

Illinois Engineers Will Walk Out, Making 44,000 Miners

iaie.

Mew York Sun Special Service. New York, Oct. .31.—The leaders of

the two great political parties are en­tering upon the last week of the cam­paign with more vigor than has charac­terized any preceding stage. Both are preparing to dispute every point all over the country, and particularly in the so-called "doubt fu l" states.

Both sides are claiming the majority in the electoral college with more or less assurances. The rival leaders have begun to put forth figures claimed to be based upon the actual results of caja-vasses, polls and personal investiga­tion.

Democrats and republicans alike lay claim to New York. The democrats in­sist that they will carry New York for both Parker and the state ticket.

The republicans declare the battle practically decided in favor of their na­tional and state ticket.

Sopator McCarren, chairman of the executive committee of the democratic state committee, predicts there will be a landslide in this state for Parker.

Governor Odell has received from lo­cal leaders all over the state figures W h i c h h e a a y s i n d i c a t e a r e p u b l i c a n p l u ­r a l i t y o f 78",500.

Both parties apparently are confident of carrying West Virginia on both state and national tickets, altho the odds favor the republicans on the na­tional ticket and the democrats on the state ticket. The large corporate influ­ences are either neutral this year or are openly working for democracy. The liquor vote is also solid for the democrats.

Both Claim Indiana.

Indianapolis, Oct. 31. — Senator Fair­banks arrived last night and had a con­ference with his managers. Republi­cans today are predicting large major­ities for the republican ticket. Chair­man Taggart said: "Victory will be ours one week from next Tuesday. I am not going to predict the size of our majority in Indiana, but it will be am­ple. I have never seen the Indiana democracy in better shape to win 'than it is today. We are absolutely united and harmonious."

Taggart Stays at Home. New York, Oct. 31.—Chairman Tag­

gart of the democratic national com­mittee telephoned Secretary. Woodson today that he would remain in Indiana indefinitely and that he might not leave for New York until the end of this week.

Judge Parker will speak tonight at M a d i s o n S c p i a r e G a r d e n a n d w i n d u p the week in New Jersey, Connecticut and New York city. There is said to be no probability that he will speak in any states except New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

Chicago, Oct. 31.—Coal hoisting en­gineers have served notice on the Illi­nois Coal Operators association that every union engineer in the biftiminous fields of the state will go on strike at midnight tonight. Unless the walk*out i a a v e r t e d , t h e o w n e r s a d m i t i t w i l l cause a shut-down of practically every one of the 250 mines in Illinois, and nearly 44,000 miners, altho not directly involved, will be thrown out of work.

Commissioner Herman Justi of the coal operators' association, admitted that a shut-down for ten days or more is sure to follow the strike, altho he says there is no danger that the miners will strike in sympathy. The dispute responsible for the contemplated strike consists of a demand on the part of the Illinois Coal Operators association, that the engineers accept a reduction of 5.55 per cext in wages. The miners accepted a 5V*> per cent reduction in the spring. When the engineers determined by a referendum vote to reject the proposed cut, the oper­ators offered arbitration, which was re­fused.

N e w York Sun Special Service.

New York, Oct. 31.-—"The greatest crime that America is guilty of is the putting of young women and girls into factories and workshops to do the work of men," says Dr. Bernard Cronson. He is the schoolteacher who was hissed by women after telling them that they were inferior to men.

' ' " W h a t I w a n t t o i m p r e s s u p o n t h e people of America." he adds, " i s that woman's great field is the home.

Chi-fu, Oct. 31, 2 p.m.—The general assault upon Port Arthur which began in a preliminary way on Oct. 24, d e ­veloped • i,uto a fiercely jfaglfig battle ^ M f l ^ ^ e ^ | ! ^ 0 * $ i $ g i£ sliitheVtQ; infallible authority, th& Japanese fhing P T ' P ^ ^ against the Russians in? their third attempt *t^ secure,,:.,a coni-mandin^posi t ion. The resuwt of the fighting is unknown, but i t is being continued today. .

On Oct. 26 Japanese shells l e t fire to the only smokeless'• powder magazine in Port Arthur. Portions of the town caught fire, the conflagration continuing the whole day.

The Japanese consider the progress of the siege to be highly satisfactory.

The Japanese have been preparing for this assault for a month. It is believed that the Japanese did not expect to capture the town on this occasion, but to accomplish^nother important forward step. This plan was adopted follow­ing the first assault, when thousands of lives were sacrificed in an attempt to swarm over the £ortifieatibns by a mere force of numbers-regardless of Joss.

This assault, like the previous one, was a climatic incident of weeks of trench digging,' gun mount­ing and small engagements. In t h e o p i n i o n o f e x p e r t s t h e a s -sault will cease when the Jap­anese have secured such positions as will enable them to creep steadily closer under the noses of the Bussian guns. It is believed that two more gen-' eral assaults-'will be necessary before the distance between the belligerent lines is sufficiently shortened to make an attempt to enter the main forts and m a k e t h e e n d o f t h e s i e g e p r a c t i c a b l e .

Drop Shells in Harbor.

On Oct. 24 t having made every possi­ble preparation,- the Japanese opened fire with their artillery along the whole line; incidentally continuing their daily practice of dropping shells into the har­bor. The Russians replied, the sounds as of distant thunder telling the inhab­itants of Port Dalny that the long-ex­pected assault on the fortress was immi­nent. The bombardment continued furiously until the afternoon of Oct. 26, when the Bussian guns on E-tse, An-tse and Bih-ling mountains became briefly, silent.

At 4 p.m. that;'day, a regiment of Japanese swept out from behind a re­cently captured hill adjacent to Bih-lung mountain, and advanced on the Bussian trenches, lying between Bih-lung moun­tain and the railroad, occupying them after hours of fighting. The Buseians stuck to their posts till the Japanese 'were within a few yards, both sides h u r l i n g ; h a n d . pjrenacLea a t e a c h o t h e r . The Japanese infantry are now using mechanical devices which enable them to throw grenades with great accuracy and rapidity. •

In tlie meanwhile another body of Japanese assaulted the trenches on the slope of Bih-lung mountain. The Jap­anese trenches extended to certain por­tions or the slope and stopped some dis­tance above the extreme Japanese out­post where the ascent of Bih-lung moun­tain became almost perpendicular; ,

Charged Up Mountain slope. Bussian trenches seamed the slope. To

advance against them over an unbroken slope which was mined; even without Bussian resistance, would have been a d i f f i c u l t t a s k , b u t t h e s l o p e h a d b e e n torn up, great holes having been blown in it at various places by the bombard­ment, and the Japanese availed them* selves of these indentations which of­fered combined foothold and protection against bullets. In the meanwhile the fire of all the available artillery was di­rected against the Bussian trenches. The Bussians eventually retired, where­upon the Japanese in thirty minutes constructed trenches sufficient to shield themselves/. The Bussians exploded mines, but, the Japanese say, without re­sults.

One company of Japanese engaged in this fight • aroused general complimen­tary comment for its remarkable cool­ness, executing, the.various maneuvers for the purpose of securing shelter with a u t o m a t i c e x a c t n e s s a s i f o n p a r a d e .

mountain and that night they made a "" sortie. But the Japanese had in the m e a n w h i l e b r o u g h t u p m a c h i n e crun& with: which the sortie was repulsed. ^ ^ * *.

Except for the knowledge that the bombardment was continued, all infor­mation covering the progress between, .v" Oct. 27.and,Oct. 29, is lacking, but pre/ - ' sumably it is much of the same characg ter as that just described. $ '

The Japanese operations gradually a s ­sumed the proportions of a general all tack yesterday. The fighting is re£-. ported to have been most severe from/ Bih-lung mountain down along the whole east side of the town. *; -,
