From the Nashville Banner.
Much interest is manifested In New
York in regard to the course to be pur-
sued by Judge Parker concerning his
judgeship. If he resigns on or before Au-
gust the vacancy on the court of APP
peals will be filled by election Novem-
Der s. If he should walt until after Au-
gust Governor Odell will appoint in
Judge Parker's place man who Will
hold the Office until December 81 1905. 1t
is believed that Judge Parker will resign
in time for the people to elect judge,
and this would be the proper thing to do.
There will be another vacancy on the
bench of the court of appeals, as Judge
Celora e. Martin will retire on account Of
age, and as the people are to elect a
judge to fill one vacancy, they might as
well elect man to fill the other, and
Judge Parker could not be accused of
playing politics by resigning in time to
give the people the opportunity of electing
two Judges

President Roosevelt thinks his party is
more sincerely the friend OF the gold
standard than the democratic party be-

affected by changes in the production
of the yellow metal. According to Teddy
the republican party would be for the
gold standard. whether gold became as
common as tin or as scarce as diamonds.
A few years ago both parties were for
binetallism. The democratic party can
give reasons for abandoning that ISSUE
while the republicans party gives none.

COLONEL GLEN REPRIMANDED.
Turned In Money That Was Needed to
Meet Actual EXPENSES.

Washington, Sept. 5.-Colonel John
NJ. Glen, chief quartermaster of the
Philippine division, has been repri-
manded by General Humphrey, quar-
ter-master general, for his action in
turning into the United States treas
ury the sum of $423, 900 as "unexpend-
ed balance" Of the appropriations for
the last fiscal year, when as stated at
the war department, the money was
actually needed to meet necessary ex-
penses for army transportation and
other work Of the quartermasterS de-
partment. 1t is said that the service
will be embarrassed by Colonel Clem's
action, as it seriously interferes with
the work of the Quartermaster's de-
partment.
General Humphrey has informed Col
onel Glen that his action is disapprov-
ed and would not have been taken if
he had a proper conception of his
duties. The money having been turned
into the treasury, is now beyond the
control of the war department, and
the officers, and it will have to be
appropriated by congress to meet ex-
listing obligations. 1t is not unlikely
that Colonel Glen will be relieved of
his present duties and recalled to the
United States. Colonel Glen is one

says that one afternoon, while lying
about three-quarters of a mile on

lazily about the boat.
Half an hour afterward three
brawny fellows, tanned by the sun

Africans, swan out toward the sloop
When they got within hearing dis
lance the doctor shouted to them to
look out for the sharks that had been
around there just short time before.
The warning didn't seem to dis

persons were seriously injured in a

Jap Flag Over Lao Yang

Yentai, but the dispatches thus far
give no information as to whether
or not they will make a stand
there, or even if the Japanese are pur-
suing their foe in fight. 1t is not
not known whether the Japanese will
stop at Lao Yang and fortify and with
the Taitse river between them and
General Kuropatkin's forces will en-
deavOr either to become defenders in
case the Russians should attack or
by inaction should they not end the
campaign at Lao Yang.
The last blow to Russian arms,
though it is spoken of in st. Peters
burg as the logical consequence OF
Russian plans, doubtless will be taken
much to heart by the subjects OF En-
peror Nicholas, who after success
sion of defeats and retirements by
their army, had expected a fnality
of the struggle at Lao Yang in their
favor.
In the loss of Lao Yang by the Rus
slams, the japanese probably will gain
little except in the way of strategy
cal point. for the Russians blew VI
the magazines and set fire to the
enormous quantity Of army stores
and provisions there before they
evacuated.
What the effect of the retirement
from Lao Yang will be on the be
sieged at Port Arthur can only be
conjectured, but certainly it canno
but cause depression among the vail
ant defenders who have been hoping
that eventually they would be re
lieVed.
