Are Quietly Preparing to Meet the
Great Bear.
Victoria, Il. c., June "details have
been brought by the steamer kishnu
Maru OF warlike preparations in China
to resist the Italian occupation of San
Nun and probably the further occupa-
ton Of Shangtung by Germany.
A Peking correspondent writes that ia
pan is diligently and quietly making war
preparations as she did four years ago
and taking measures to strengthen her
coast defenses, feeling that war with
Russia in the near future is unavoidable.
Russia is aware of Japan's intention
to contest her in the east and fully rec
ognizes the difficulty in which war
with Japan would place her, especially
ms the Japanese navy approaches that of
her own in strength, and additional ships
are In course of construction in Europe.
Her hopes are, however, that she will
be able to keep her own waters, thus
checking Japan from playing game in
Korea, Siberia or northern Manchuria.
She also has decided to oppose the land
ing Of japanese troops in Korea or China
that might strengthen Japan's position
in the east.
News was also received by the steamer
of the sinking of pilotboat on May 10
near Shanghai by the steamer Saiko-
maxru. The pilot, J. d. C. Arthur, was
drowned.
From Yokohama comes the news Of

BRYAN ON PARTY.
He Renfilrms His Approval of the
Chicago Platforms.

Louisville, June AT the banquet of
the Bimetallic League of the Ohio Val
ley at the Gait House William J. Bryan
responded to the toast, "rhe Democratic
Party" He said substantially:
You have asked me to respond to the
toast, THE Democratic Party A party
Is merely business organization com
posed of individuals who think alike and
act alike in order to bring into operation
certain fixed beliefs. If unity of purpose
determines ii party. the Democratic par
ty is certainly entitled to be called one.
Its purpose is to carry back the govern
ment and place it on the principles eX-
pounded by Thomas jefferson, with the
maxim, Equal rights to all; special priv
ileges to none, firmly grounded in every
branch-legislative, executive and even
judicial" '.
Referring to the Chicago platform, he
SAID: at was not written for one cam
paign. 1t will live and will outlive those
who sit at the table here"
referring to the detection from the
party ranks in 1896, he said the party
was open for the return of the penitents
Continuing, he said: "The convention at
Chicago was the most Democratic con-
Of century. 1t was a convention where
the boilers wrote the platform. The
name Democratic means people, but for
some time the bosses had been ruling
I'm 1896 the people decided to adopt
another plan, and it has proved so good
that l believe that it will be a long time
before it is changed. l think the plat
form is all right as far as it goes, and
the revision can be intrusted to those
who wrote it. The revision will not note
any errors in the original, but will have
additions to cover new questions and
new issues. The Democratic platform is
strong because it is good in any part of
the country. There used to be northern,
eastern, southern and western Demo
Gratis, but now they are all Chicago plat
form Democrats, and l believe there is
not IL state in the Union where you
would not lose more Democrats than you
would gain by changing the PLATFORM
