Chicago, Oct. 7-Women of the
V(.,, this year will figure in the presi-
dential campaign as th"/ have neier
figured before, and according to dis-
patches from Denver. Sail Lake City
and Cheyenne, Wyo., their vote will
be the heaviest ever cast.
in Colorado the women's vote is ex-
pected to be increased, but the men
of both parties are -aid to be trying
to discourage them from taking sices
in the state campaign, which is a
complicated fight.
lD Wyoming the vote nominally is
Six women to ten men. It Is expecte
that the ratio probably will he in-
creased, nine to ten.
In Utah the Mormon elders are urg-
ing the women to vote for Roose\elt
on the plea that if he is elected Sena-
tor Smoot will retain his seat. 1 he
vote of the Gentile women in Idaho
probably will offset the vote in Uah,

Harbin, Oct. 7—Refugees successful

St Petersburg. Oct. 7.—While the
admiralty claims to have no knowledge
of the Port Arthur squadron it is In-
ferable from the way in which the re-
port that sum an event had transpired
has been received that confirmation
would not create surprise. Informa-
i ion has been given out that no direct
orders hav.i been sent to Admiral
V,' ren to break through the blockad-
ing fleet, but It is tacitly admitted that
Admiral Wiren 1 es discretionary pow-
ers to I ave Port Arthur should the
situation demand.
in naval circles it is pointed out
that Wednesday morning the condi-
ma'- have been favorable for a
;ortit II. uj storm- raged Tuesday.
,nd doubtless compelled the blockadi-
ng vessels particularly the torpedo
eoats to seek shelter, thus leaving the

Some naval officers, however, are in-
clined to think the firing that was
heard at Che Foo may only have been
directed at blockade runners.

IN CASE OF DEMOCRATIC SUC-
CESS THIS FALL.
Thinks tne Election of Parker Would
Cause the Filipinos to Demand
Their Immediate
Independence.
Indianapolis, lnd., Oct . Secretary
of War Taft and Senator lleveridge
were the speakers last night at the
losing meeting held In connection
with the convention of the national
epubllcan league of the United Stan -
A torch light procession escorted the
111'alters to the hall, where a
large crowd had gathered Secretary
Taft said:
The danger in bringing the demo-
ratie party Into power In respect to
he Philippine issue is that if they
^•onie into power the Filipinos ie-
gard them as having pledged them-
selves to give the Islands Immediate
independence, and should they fail to
keep this pledge the Insurrection ele
ment would be certain lo charge the
government with bad faith. On the
other hand, If they grantedjmmedlate
independence no greater disaster could
i-ome to the Philippine Islands and it
would be a disgraceful abandonment
if the duties and burdens which fate
has placed upon the United States
"The civil government Is self-sus-
taining, and no expense whatever foi
he civil government is imposed on
he United States
•'The statements of Judge Parker
and Mr Davis in respect to the Philii
pine: are greatly exaggerated, and I
io not know where Judge Parker ob
taitied the authority to make the state-
ment that the Philippines cost
$650,00d,0nii When ever he got It, It
s certainly without foundation".

Enormous Quantities of Supplies for
the Japanese Armies Continue
to Arrive at Mukden—No
Fighting Reported.
Fusan. Oct. 7—The Japanese are
bringing up enormous quantities of
supplies and ammunition for the win-
ter campaign, using the re-constructed
railway, carts and junks on the Liao
and Taitse rivers. The railroad traffic
Is uninterrupted and additional sol
diers continue to arrive.
Outpost skirmishes are confined to
the first and south armies The

London. Oct 7 —A Che Foo dispatch
to the Central News dated 2::!0 o'clock
todav says that a big naval battle Is
proceeding 6utside of Port Arthur har-
bor.
It is thought the squadron made a
sortie to reach Che Foo, encountering
the Japanese blockading lieel
A later dispatch from Che Foo stat-
ed that the firing at sea and flashes
of bursting shells ceased at 4 o'clock.
The British steamer Chenan, Just
arrived at Che Foo from Taku, states
that at 7:45 o'clock last night, when
sixty miles west of the Mia Tan is
lands, the Japanese cruiser Suma fired
a shot which narrowly missed the ves-
sel.
When the vessel stopped an officer
who boarded it is said that he had
fired two blanks at first. The captain
of the Chenan declared he heard no
shots until the solid shot crossed the
bows.
St Petersburg. Oct. 7—The war
commission sat until an unusuallj late
hour last night, but adjourned without
issuing additional news from the fron
Expert opinion is divided as to
whether a serious engagement is like-
ly to occur at Mukden, but the dis
patch rom that city reporting an un
usual activity'there gives rise to much
speculation. It is impossible to say
whether this condition presages the
evacuation of Mukden, but in any case
it is evident that something of unusual
interest is proceeding. Some are even
bold enought to take it that General
Kuropatkin is preparing to assume the
offensive, but in view of the fact that
most, reliable advices credit him with
only about six divisions at Mukden,
this is exceedingly improbable. It is
thought more likely that the commo-
tton had to do with one or other of
the Japanese flanking columns, which
the Russian commander may have
been preparing to check.
