NEW YORK SUN foR ROOSEVELT.
Decides, After Some Hesitation. e
Oppose the Election Of Parker.

1
| New York, Aug. 1.-THE Sun. which
has for some time given indications Of
being undecided as to where it would
make its political bed, comes out
for Roosevelt, and Fairbanks today in
an editorial, which says in part:
"The campaign is now on. Both
parties and both candidates have spok-s
en-. On one side is a conservative party
with a radically inclined and erstwhile
too strenuous candidate for president.
Behind him, for the vice presidency,
| is man OF undoubted capacity. ana
sound opinions, who gives mental
and physical promise of enduranc0.
On the other hand is radical party
with an infinite capacity for mischief
and stupendous record for mischief
actually accomplished, presenting for
president a conservatively inclined
candidate of irreproachable character
and attractive personal accompiish-
ments, and for vice president one whose
extreme age is the sole but sufficient
reason for apprehension in case OF
his succession to the presidency.
Such is the choice before the tnde-
pendent voter and it is the Independents
voter who will decide this election.
HE cannot take Farker Oh tHe Tee
publican platform and record. He can>
not reject Roosevelt without beckonino
to distant Huns, without helping ~
open the gate of power to political
forces of unmeasured destructive po-
tentiality. It seems better to maintail
the unbroken wall of defense. which i
the first election of Mckinley establish<
ed.
1--WE SHALL therefore, advocate thl
election Of Roosevelt and Fa.rbanka
and advise the defeat Of Parker and
Davis"

officials here is that 1t may be an in
cident that will break down the agree
ment of the powers and plunge China
into the war as a full fiedged belliger-
ent and ally Of Japan. The conse-
quences of such an act on China's part
upon the existing alliances between
Japan and Great Britain and between
Russia and France can onYy be conject-
ured and the prospect is so alarming
that it is not doubted the state de-
partment will do it's utmost, along with
the rest of the powers, to effect such
a settlement of this incident as shall
preserve the agreement as to China in
full force.

SEES GRAVE DANGER.
Action Of the Japs at chefoo May
Plunge Other Powers Into War,

Plunge Other Powers Into War.
/ Washington, Aug. 12.-The report of
the capture by the Japs' torpedo des-
troyer of the Russian destroyer Rye
shitelni in the harbor of Chefoo, was
conveyed to Washington by Consul
General Fowler In a cablegram today
and received with deepest and interest
| and concern, for 1t was realized that
there were indications Of serious inter-
national trouble. Fowler spoke of the
! affair as cutting OUT expedition
thereby differing on an important point
| from the press dispatches which at
| first reading appeared to Indicate seiz-
ure of the Russian boat was in at least
some degree caused by the action of
| Captain Craft attacking a Jap board
! ing lieutenant. 1t may be that
upon this point will turn the decision
as to whether or not there has been
violation of Chinese neutrality by the
Japanese.
If the expedition was a genuine cut
ting out" one then there is no question
in the minds of officials here that the
Japs have committed an offense again.S
international law by violating Chinese
neutrality and In addition have broken
the agreement they entered into at the
beginning of the war al the instance of
the United States government to limit
the field of warlike operations to Man
churia and Korea and their waters,
Should this prove to be the case the
results probably will be grave and vex-
atious Under tenetS of international
law the captured vessel must be lc-
turned to the custody of the Chinese
government and apology rendered for
the offense against Chinese neutrality.
But if Russian lives have been lost,
a greater complication will follow, for
Russia may in turn hold China respon-
sible for punishment of the Japs. who
caused the death of her sailors when
under shelter of Chinese port authors
ties.
Altogether the situation Is full Of
danger and the main apprehension of

PRESIDENT LYNCH ACCUSED.
Head Of Typographical Union is Charg
ed With Unfair Methods.

st. Louis Mo. Aug 12.-The lnterna-
tional Typographical Union last night
voted to increase the annual salaries
of the president and secretary-treas-
urer from s1,s00 to $4,000 subject to
the referendum.
A sharp tilt occurred between Dele
gate William A. Greene of indianapolis,
and President Lynch. Delegate Greene
openly accused President Lynch with
having resorted TO questionable meth
DDS to secure the defeat of a candidate
for president during the last campaign
and charged that, at Lynch's instiga-
ton, Greene wrote letter Wnlch
Lynch turned to campaign purposes
without Greene's knowledge or con-
sent.
President Lynch denied that he had
resorted to the measures charged.
Delegate Greene charged president
Lynch with falsehood.
Instantly the convention was IN COM
motion, but soon subsidized.
Toronto was chosen as the next
meeting place.

LONDON DECLINES COMMENT.
Express Hope That Incident Will Not
be Unduly Magnified.

London, Aug. 12.-The foreign office
declined this afternoon to comment on
the effect of the Japs' action, but the
officials are hopeful that an adequate
explanation will be made which will
not permit the incident to sever as JUS
titication for future violations of the
Chinese neutrality. 1t is believed Jap
an will promptly disavow the action OF
the commanders of her destroyers. even
returning the Ryeshitelni to Chefoo,
provided she is convinced her officers
acted wrongfully. The Jap legation
here has cabed Toxic asking for an
explanation and expects immediate in
ouiry will be instituted by the Japan

afterwards the Chinese cutter visited

1t is believed serious international
