Fighting continues at I orl Arthur, where
the Japanese have won sev -ral positions close
to the inner lines of de' -nee. Two more
general assaults, it is belie ad, will be neces
sary before sn attempt ear b made to enter
the main forte. A telegr.i r from General

holding the fortress has b*n abandoned.

JAPANESE MASS TROOPS.
Large Reinforcements ported —
Big Guns in Daily Action.
[ Mr.uk.de:.. Oct. 31.— The movem 'its of the Jap
bumm central army, which row onversres at a
j-.o!nt where the plain meets the hills, have at
tained the greatest importance. These move
ments are being fully met by the Russians, so
* that the situation at this point of the pros
pective battlefield Is now one ol the greatest
r Interest and apprehension. The Japanese have
crossed the Shakhe to the southeast, and big
ins were heard In that direction all last night.
T'utiloff (Lone Tree) Hill has been bombarded
by the Japanese from an early hour this morn
ingr, and their troops are also being massed on
the eastward.
Th* central trenches on both sices - re crowded
v'th troops, and at many places the Japanese
Bn4 Russians are within hailing distance. At the
isolated hill of Manalon, in the pain where the
Russians ten days ago captured fourteen ff^ne
and bayoneted 800 Japanese, the riva forces are
only 800 paces apart The two ar ies. each
with the other as an objective, are i proa-h
1 c. while hurriedly cor.Btrurtin? «le* works,
each morning revealing the work done j^er night
tr> the obsfrvat'.or stations on every hil'top.
The Japanese, after their disaster at Ssnalon
JHil!, retaliated on October 27 by turn] is the
Itusslans from a pyramidal hill opposite Fen-
C'hla-Pu. seven miles to the oast. The Rua-
Blana were commanded from three directions,
smd withstood a loss of 80 per cent from ar
tillery fire on the afternoon of the 27th r »fere
Ihey were forced nut by the Japanese inf. t y
pt night. The Japanese abandoned the pos ir.n
Immediately after it was taken. This actio:i
does rot ejual in importance the capture of
Xanalon Hili. The Japanese, who are poted
on a pitnllax hill to the south, appear now to
have <:> termlned to regain the position which

SAMUEL JOHNSON'S PIONEER WORK.
Tin- presidency was tendered to Samuel Johnson
one of the most remarkable men of his time, and it
was he who gave to the r.fcw college Its educa
tional form, its controlling tendencies .uid its
first deals. Open minded and catholic. Dr. John
son was the most scholarly American of the period,
and, with Jonathan Edwards, he takes rank ;>s on<
of the two really powerful and constructive Amerl
'■i!i hllosopbers of the eighteenth century. Ben
jamln Franklin, who had b».-en his publisher, con
sulted with htm as to the i lane for tli<: projected
college at Philadelphia, and urged him to become
Its head. Hut Johnson was more strongly drawn
toward New-York, in whose projects for a col
lege he had long been an ■•■■ counsellor. ;md
for which his friend and philosophical preceptor,
Bishop Berkeley, had fed the flame of his «t.
t!:ij«la«m. Dr. Johnson, sol" lecturer, began in
struction In th* month of July, 17.".4, some lime be
fore the charter was granted, in the vestry room
of the Bchoolhouse adjoining Trinity Church, of
which the temporary use hn«l been allowed him.
It is rally true that for a full century the
college had to struggle for its life. The amount
mlsed by lottery. Increased Bomewhat by .-inrill
legislative grants, appears to have been spent upon
tie fir!»t building and in the purchase of. those ma
terials that jrere necessary to the institution's
V.ork. The portion Of the Kind's 1 Farm sra:ited by
Trinity church was valued at £4.000 or £5.000. but
it lay beyond the limits of the Inhabited portion
of tiio Island, and was for many years unpro
ductive. It did. however, afford a commodious an.i
convenient home for the college.
Finally, In 1814, came the action which, through
the urage .■■■ i farsightedness of the trustees, has
meant (so much to us. Upon v petition of the
trusteeß «elllne forth that the extensive lands
grunted by earlier governors had been lost to the
college, without compensation, in the settlement
of the boundary dispute, the legislature granted
to the college the so-called Hosack Botanic Garden,

CORTELYOU FALSELY ACCUSED.
HAS NOT EXTORTED CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS
FROM CORPORATIONS.
No Pledges of Any Kind (then by President or Chairman — National
Committee Has Unusually Small Fund.
[PROM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.]
Washington, Oct. 31. -The total campaign
; ;:.■! at the disposal of the Republican National
ittee this year Is considerably less than
half what it amounted to fou-.- years ago and
less than a third of the total of eight years ago,
ssurances of a great Republican victory
continue to reach Washington from every part
of the country. That success will b
the most gratifying clrcumstai
by the fact that not. a single pledge ol any
sort or description has been given by Chairman
Cortelyou or any one authorized to represent
him to any individual, corporation or interest.
This assurance, given to the President, and ro
ported In these dispatches several weeks ago,
was reiterated by the national chairman on the
n of his last visit to Washington on Fri
day. Naturally, great industrial enterprises
I ruin In tl
Democratic administration, and others, whan
?ee that an administration of the nations af
fairs by the party which formally declares that
•■protection is robbery" would force them into
bankruptcy, have contributed to the Republican
campaign fund. Bo have certain labor organ
izations whose members have vivid recollections
of having been thrown out of work and forced
to resort to "soup kitchens" in the Cleveland
administration.
Some cor] I have contributed to both
campaign funds, as la their habit; and still
others, which, having failed In their eff«
L tion >t the Bur< »i pora
. to make the government contributor; to
partlculai style of advertising, or to
merge th. ir competing lines of railways, have
ely to the Democratic cam
paign fund. Anj one who denies that the cor
porations and the men who make them up have
contributed to the campaign funds of both
parties exhibits a total lack of familiarity with
nt-day conditions.
The demand of certain Democrats that the
names of the contributors to their campaign
fund be made public is, however Pharisaical
B thing never has been done and never
will be done. It would be regarded as a viola
tion of confidence, and might injure the busi
ness interests of the contributors, especiallj
_ K ed m retail trade where the compe
tition is severe.
So puerile an.i so manifestly insincere have
„ O n Chairman Cortelyou by
thoße who represent him as having -held up"
the corporations that no attention will be paid
„ No statement will be made -tther by
Mr Cortelyou or by the administration. Those

the truth may rest assured that nothing of the
kind has occurred, and that no pledge, explicit
or implied, of uny nature, has been made, and
none will be made.
President Roosevelt will take the oath of office
on March 4 without being bound by a single
obligation other than that contained in the oath
itself.
N >T SELLING FAVoRS.
A man who knows all that occurred at Mr.
Cortelyou'B last call on the President said to
day:
While Mr. Cortelyou was at the White House
he told Hie President of the attempt made by a
ire a promise of favoritism
after The flection. The man who approached
him offered his check with the remark: "We, of
course will expect kind treatment at the hands
of the' administration this winter." or words to
that effect. Mr. Cortelyou told the man to keep
his contribution, as the Republican National
committee was not receiving money in exchange
for guarantees of future f.ivorn.
-;-,<• ; thai another gr<
angered at Us inability to influence th..- Presi
dent ln a direction contrary to his conception of
duty has made no contribution to the Republi
can" campaign fund has already been published.
To answer the attacks made em Mr. Cortel
you since the campaign began would be dignify
ing the libellers too much. It may be said in his
■ ■ if he needs any. that he has not re
ceived a cent from any source with the under
standing that the contributor was t.» be favored
rislation or otherwise for the money ad
vanced.
Not a single promise has he made to any in
dividual, corporation, influence or to-called
"trust" that has in the slightest manner pledged
the President or the administration to any form
of action after the election.
The hypocrisy of this Democratic hue and cry
at the close ol the cleanest campaign in memory.
f> far as the Republican side of it is concerned,
is Intended to diveri attention from the influ
that "buncoed'" the St. Louis convention
Into nominating Parker and to becloud tl
issues before the people. Everybody knows
good, substantial reason* why the
• people who contribute national rampalgn
• want the publicity which will make

The efforts Judge Parker has beer making to
convince the people that th» Republican Na

la an evidence of ■pitework on tli
of th* man from Ejopuh. To put It plainly,
Judge Parker has been dropped by fome of the
most Influential men that at first supported him.
Some of the "conservative" Influences that were
behind his nomination have decided that he is
unsafe, weak, uninformed and generally unfit
for the position of President of the TTnited
States. They fee that he has no control over
the radical elements in his own p.irty, and.
rather than helD such -x candidate, have w!th-
Irawn their support. They have washed their

ARBITRATION IN FAVOR-
XEW TREATIES PLANNED.
Negotiations on with England and
to Begin tcith France.
Washington, Oct. 31. — W. Brans Darby,
secretary of the Pea/v Society of London, pre
sented to President Roosevelt to-day a memorial
from the society urging that a treaty of arbitra
tion be negotiated between the United States
and *>reat Britain. The President Informed Dr.
Darby that he was in entire sympathy with the
movement and that negotiations for such a
treaty now were In progress.
France and the United States expect to begin
the negotiation of an arbitration treaty soon.
The treaty will be known as the Hay-Jusserand
arbitration treaty, and. according to th-? present
programme, will closely follow the llm i of the
Anglo-French treaty. Some time a^ro th* French
•merit, through its "Ambassador at Wash
ington, Informed Secretary Hay that France was
ready and willing to conclude such a < orven
tlon whenever It was the pleasure of the I'r.itt- 1
States. Mr. Hay expressed thanks for this re
newed evidence of friendship on the part of the
}■':■••: republic, and Intimated a desire to open
negotiations on.
Widespread ititer^st has been aroused through
out the diplomatic corps by the announcement of
Secretary Hay in his recent speech at New-
York that the government hoped soon to begin
the preparation of arbitration treaties with all
countries willing to sicri them. "Hier- is already
'Ctdent among European diplomats a keen de
sire to take the lead in this movement.
It is pointed out that, while few Questions of
importance lire pending between this country
and Prance, the negotiation of ar, arbitration
treaty at a time when the diplomatic horizon 13
so clear will insure an early conclusion of the
convention. It is believed that Italy will be
found favorable to the negotiation of an arbitra
tion treaty with this country.

The successful flight followed a day full of
