who made the seizure, saluted the flag
Of Brazil in Brazilian waters, surren-
dered the Florida's crew, and would
have restored the vessel also had she not
been sunk in collision.
In visw Of these precedents it Is mani
fest that the Japanese had no right to
board the Retshitelny in neutral har-
Dor, and that no provocation could
justify them in seizing and removing
the vessel.
We take for granted that China will
demand immediate reparation for the

will hasten to make full amends for her

Bryan's LOYALTY.

With an obedient loyalty to the Demo-
cratic cause and an allegiant devotion
to PARKER and DAVIS. WILLIAM. BRYAN
proclaimed at Lincoln. on Wednesday
last, to the Democrats and Popu-
lists of his beloved Nebraska, his sub
mission to the will OF the majority
at St. Louis. Mr. BRYAN isn't a black
smith. He didn't sulk, neither did he
chase himself into the tall grass; and,
above and beyond all else, he did not
write an unmannerly missive advers
Using himself as "a still--a very still
Democrat. No, Stree, He boldly alb
squatulated to Deacon BILL VINCENT

Mr.. BRYAN addressed tho Democratic conven.
tion. He said he came 10 make his report Of the
81. Louis convention. He said he was satisfied
with the platform. although Il did not contain all
he wanted. He had fought for a number OF things
he got. and the platform did not contain number
Of things he did not want. He advised support
Of PARKER. saying that while PARKER did not rep
resent all he stood for. he did represent than
did ROOSEVELT. He promised TO take UP his night
for reorganization. whctbe PARKER won or lost"
The only discordant note was piped
by the Hon. Tom WATSON, Presidential
candidate Of the Pops, a visitor to the
memorable field at Lincoln. and upon
whom Deacon BILL looks as upon an
unruly child. WATSON compared
BRYAN unfavorably with JEFFERSON
and JACKSON, and referred to him as a
lump of sugar dissolving under the first
touch Of water
With night closing in upon the scene
came the official announcement:

China's Neutrality Violated. I.

Although we have not yet received
from Toxic an Official account OF the cir
cumstances under which the disarmed
Russian destroyer Retshitelny was cap
tured by the Japanese in the harbor OF
Chefoo, it looks a. il the neutrality of
China had been violated. IF this shall
prove to have been the case, our State
Department, which brought about the
agreement Of the belligerents to respect
China's neutrality, may deem it e1pedi-
ent, In order to avert dangerous compli-
cations, to urge the Toxic Government
to return the captured vessel to Chefoo
and to make adequate reparation to
China for the infringement Of her rights.
Il ID unofficially asserted on the part
Of the Japanese that the Retshitelny had
been engaged in a running fight with
two Of their destroyes. and, having
been worsted, had taken refuge in the
Chinese harbor. 1t is further alleged
that a Japanese officer, attended by a
guard Of five seamen, was sent on board
the Russian vessel, apparently with a
view Of challenging it to come forth on
the high sea and renew the combat.
According to the Japanese version Of the
incident, the officer was attacked, where
upon his five attendants made a clean
sweep OF the Russian crew, numbering
some forty-seven men, who we're either
killed, captured or driven into the sea.
Even il this account should prove cor
rect in every particular, it would not
warrant the Japanese attack upon
Russian destroyer in neutral port and
the subsequent removal Of the vessel
therefrom. international law is we'll
settled on this point At the opening
of the Franco-Prussian War a warship
of each belligerent was in the harbor of
Havana. The two vessels went out to
fight, and the result OF the contest was
that the Frenchman was beaten and
sought refuge in the harbor. The Ger
man ship however, conforming to its
international obligations, made no at
tempt to follow its opponent, which re-
mained in the harbor until the end of the
war. 1t will also be remembered that,
at the outset of the present contest,
almost all the foreign naval commanders
at Chemulpo protested against the pro-
possl Of the Japanese to enter and fight
the Russian vessels Variag and Korietz
in neutral harbor. A case apparently
parallel to that OF the Retshitelny is pre-
sented in our own naval history. In
1884 the Confederate cruiser Florida was
seized in Brazilian harbor by United
States steamship. The Brazilian Gov
ernment having demanded reparation,
the United States expressed regret, tried

An Independent Calls for Third Victory

Mr.. Parker's speech OF acceptance is so
fatal to his cause, by reason OF its proving

A FEW or THE VOTERS.
The Same Old Bryan.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: A Penn
sylvanan country editor has appropriately
the effort OF a prior versifler and taken undns
liberties with poetic license in launching the
following:
You may lead horse TO wat
Er, but you cannot make him drink.
You may lead Bill Bryan TO the tank OF thought
But you cannot make him think.
The attitude of this editor illustrates the
ease with which the average Democratic
partisan organ swings from side to side
The editor in question is on fire witt zeal
for the great patriot. Judge Parker. who has
dared to do right. dared to be true. and not
being pleased with Bryan's remarks about
the Judge, and believing that 1t does not
much matter what Is said here in Pennsyl-
vania about the twice defeated one. he pitches
into the former peerless leader" in the above
fashion.
The fact is that Mr.. Bryan can think just
as we'll now as he could In 1906 and 1900. when
this editor who now condemns him, praised
him without stint as Moses come to the
succor Of distressed. enslaved people
He Ia the same old Bryan the same self-seek
ing dema goGue; the same wild eyed apostle
of insecurity and turbulence and hate, -
a matter Of policy he has ceased to howl
loudly for sixteen to one and has laid hold on
other fancies which he hopes may be more
popular But he Ia the same old Bryan
He is not capable Of change or improvement
And he does not deceive people who really
can and do think. The Pennsylvania editor
is eight years behindhard. and yet his remarks
standing alone are entirely pertinent at thu
present time. 1t 10 just as easy. and Just

 The following was sent out from Fl Paso to the press. during the session or the national irrigation congress in that city:
 "At conference of the Arizona del egates of all constitutions yesterday evening, Professor Newell, of the geo. logical survey, ana one of the master minds of the whole irrigation busi ness made this significant statement:
 Arizona has been richly rewarded under the national irrigation act of congress. Provision has been made already for great and important works of far reaching importance.
 ''But Arizona cannot ask nor e1- pect too much. Under the law as it is construed and honestly administered, it will be simply impossible to sppro- priste any more of the national irri- gation funds to Arizona for several years.
 Arizona, because of favorable scientific conditions has started in to this great enterprise with much more of dividend from the great national drawing than any other territory or state. This was not because Of favor. itism or influence, but because natural scientific conditions that irresistibly appealed to the minds of the men hay ing this great work in charge. as an object lesson.
 But this work having been decreed ss necessary decree from the act of congress, it will be futile and foolish and absurd for Arizona to expect any more for years to come.
 ''The states which have senators who have power to vote the money for future grants we must all expect will control future appropriations"
 After the recent campaign in Ari- zona it will be refreshing to learn that science and natural conditions lad something to do with the appropris- tions made for irrigation in Arizona. The republican speilbinders told us that one, B. A. Fowler, had secured | the money for Arizona's irrigation enterprises and that the territory would not be able to secure anything further if this man Fowler was defeated for congress.
 MT. Newell states that the territory got the first money because of the in viting conditions here for experimenta irrigation work. but he does not ssJ that the election of any man for con gress will have anything to do viti our future prospects, of getting further assistance from the government.

THE GOING OF REV. SHIELDS.


 The announcement made by Rev. Harvey M Shields in the pulpit of the Presbyterian church Sunday, that hencefcrth he would become connect. ed with the Episcopal church, and no longer hold to the tenents of the Pres eyterian church, must havs been a great surprise to his congregation. Not only was such an announcement calculated to give surprise in this community, but it will also create re- gret and sorrow generally with the people of Bisbee, with whom this faithful minister of God labored so faithfully during the past few years. The regret and sorrow will not be caused by the fact that the Rev. Shields has decided to cast his lot with the Episcopal church, as that is matter to be decided for himself, and in this land of religious tolera- ton and freedom people are not to be measured by any particular church creed or doctrine. But the people have been led to their high esteem for Rev. Shilds because of his unselfsh Christian work in this city.
 If any person in Bisbee during the last four years has been entitled to recognition as the Good Samaritan p that person was Rev. Harvey M. Shields. The night has never been too dark CT too cold for him to respond to the call for help or attention by the sick or poor This work he has fol lowed with a devotion to duty sci. dom seen in any person.

As a minister of tn Episcopal church he will make tha church stronger, and wherever he zoe he will prove by his life that he is man and a Christian.
