Judge Parker's acceptability to
the Democracy has been steadily
increasing. along with the appre-
hension OF the Republican party
because of that acceptability.
The wisest factor in the case has
been. and is. the recticence of the
Judge concerning political ques-
tions, with the apparent resolution
on his part To let no one speak for
him, and himself to speak through
no one. That eventually, and that
soon, he must speak for himself
was, and is. apparent. His nomi-
nation for the Presidency by the
Democracy is well-nigh certain.
What has made it certain has been,
and is, his studied reserve from
public matters. and the belief that
he will maintain il until his duty

another, will be plain.-Brooklyn

LEGATION HEARS OF VICTORY.
Russian Defeat at Simoucheng Cabled
to japanese Minister.

The japanese minister today received a
cablegram from the foreign office at Tokyo
reporting the battle at Simoucheng, and
the Russian retreat toward Haicheng. The
cablegram says that an official report has
been received at headquarters to the eff
feet that on the Both of July the Japanese
forces attacked the enemy at Simoucheng.
about fifteen miles southeast of Haicheng.
THE Russians occupied strongly intrench-
ed heights at SimoucEeng. and the fighting
continued during the Both and 31st. Finally
the Japanese left, driving the enemy before
them, threatened the rear the Russian
main body and compelled the latter to re-
treat during the night toward Haicheng.
The Russian forces were commanded by
General Alexieff, and consisted of two divi-
sions of infantry and seven batteries OF
artillery. The Japanese captured O field
guns and "a number of prisoners. The
japanese casualties were about 400 killed
and wounded. while the Russians left 40
dead on the field"

WANT STONE CUT HERE.
Commissioners Interviewed Regarding
New Municipal Building.

Representa- ives of the Journeymen Stone
cutters Associat ton of North America were
granted a hearing by the District Commits
sioners this morning relative to the propo-
sition that the stone for the proposed new
District building be cut in Washington. The
representatives Of the union appearing this
morning were Dan. A Common, correspond
ing secretary; James F. McHugh, general
secretary, and Thos. A. Campbell.
The representatives Of the stonecutters
association argued that IL the stone is cut
in Washington that a great many men will
be given employment, and that consequent
ly they will spend considerable money here
Also 1t was argued, If the stone Is cut here.
the stonecutters will be able to work all
through the winter, instead Of being idle a
large part of the time. 1t was suggested
that the stone be brought to Washington
and placed in sheds so that the men would
work during the cold weather.
The union representatives mentioned that
If granite is used in the building the stone
cutters association will not be particularly
interested in where the stone is cut, ex-
cepting from fraternal considerations, as
the Granite Cutters Union will have juris-
diction over the cutting of granite.
The Commissioners explained that the
construction of the new municipal building
has been placed by Congress in the hands
of a commission, consisting of the three
Commissioners and Secretary Shaw of the
Treasury. This commission, 1t was stated,
will be obliged to take mp the matter and
give 1t their consideration.
