States.
Another reason for my present ac-I
ton is the Fabian policy of the social
lists, who seem to think that to seize
upon the opportunity of 1904 is "op-
portunism' and it is treason to so

1dge Tharin's Cell To Arms

Immediately following the Cooper
Union meeting at New York, after
reading Mr.. Watson's speech of ac-
ceptance Judge Tharin of Washington
wrote Mr.. Watson the open letter
which appears below. Since that time
Judge Tharin. after carefully consid-
ering the situation. has come to this
conclusion: That call should be
made for a national convention some
time during the latter part of this
month"; signed by every dissatisfied
democrat who is up in arms against
the Parkerization of his party, whose
signature can be secured, the conyen-
ton having for it's object the utter re-
pudiation of what was done at ST.
Louis and the formal endorsement of
Watson and Tibbles.
In a recent letter to Secretary De
France of the national committee
Judge Tharin says:
The strategic movement Is this:
The rapid arrangement OF a radical
democratic convention to repudiate
that Of st Louis and To re-adopt the
democratic platform OF 1900. and then
10 endorse f. Il. Watson. etc. and adj

your committee can doubtless find
who would issue the call Dissatisfied
democrats would respond. The con-
ventiCE would ensue. From the time
the cali was made until the true de-
lnocracy speaks, repudiates st. Louis,
and with a democratic platform en-
dorses our candidate. the conditions
will change more and more in the
right directions. and victory itself
would be in reach, if activity keeps
the start after beginning"
Judge Tharin seems cognizant of the
fact that large number Of dissatisfied
radical democrats would come out
openly for Watson and Tibbles-if they
were certain that others would step
out and stand with them. His plan
for holding an unofficial and informal
national convention to repudiate Par
ker and endorse Watson, Is to afford
the opportunity for thousands Of these
democrats to step out together. Ev-

EARLY ENGAGEMENT.
Impression Prevails That One Viii
Soon Occur at Mukden.

Soon Occur at Mukden.
Toxic. Sept. 22.-The impression is
growing generally that an engagement
will soon take place at Mukden. Gen
eral K1ropatkin is evidently prepar-
Ing to make a determined resistance
to any attempt to dispossess him and
Is entrenching and constructing de-
lenses. He has an immense force
available. but the opinion is expressed
that Tie Pass would be more favor
able position for defense. The Rus
SLAMS. however. are unwilling to suffer
the loss of prestige which would be
involved by the abandonment OF Muk-
den. The armies are now rested and
recovered from the effects OF the fight
at Lao Yang. They are in condition
to fight and the weather is favorable
for military operation. Roads are dry
ing and the Japanese are speedily re-
storing the railway. A party Of mill
tary attaches who recently arrived at
Lao Yang from Toxic were dragged
for 100 miles In open trucks by coolies.
The army is now forwarding rolling
stock with captured cars and engines
and service will soon be thoroughly
organized. With the Lao river open
the task Of transporting men and sup
plies TO Its advanced base Of opera
tons at Lao Yang will be simple.
There is much special attention now
as to the extent of the fall and winter
campaign. 1t Is generally thought
Field Marshal Oyama will continue
pressing Kuropatkin back until winter
falls and then strongly guard the adj
vance line until spring. The Japanese
carried on an aggressive campaign
against the Chinese during winter, but
conditions are different In this war.
The renewal of the attack upon Port
Arthur on newer and more aggressive
lines is expected this week. and It Is
predicted In well Informed quarters
that reduction OF that fortress will
be accomplished within ten days or a
fortnight. The authorities continue
silent concerning operations there. The
publication Of the small list Of casual
ties in the naval brigade operating on
land is the only recent utterance Ia
reference to the seige.
The spells taken at Lao Yang con-
tinue to grow. General Kuroki reports
the capture OF four miles of railway
rails and 200 tons OF coal.

New York, Sept. 22.-Port Arthur is
again the center of interest as re-
gar Is the war in the far east. A gem
eral attack by land and sea II regard
ed as likely to follow the japanese
assault upon the redoubt protecting
the water supply of the fortress and
town and participation of the fleet un-
der Admiral Togo is looked for. In
this latter event II is expected that
remnants of the Russian squadron in
the port will sally forth to engage
the Japanese ships.
Eight and possibly nine japanese
divisions are reported to be advanc-
ing on Mukden and another battle be-
tween the armies under Generals
Kuroki and Kuropatkin is imminent.

THE SINGER AT THE
EXPOSITION.

The name of SINGER stands
for "family sewing machine in every
known language. The familiar sign
with its brilliant carmine as is found
in every city in the world, and no prod
or has wider vogue.
The fact that Singer machines
are "made for every stitching pro-
cess" used in manufactures is not so
well known and most visitors to the
Exposition will be greatly interested
in the exhibit to be made by THE
SINGER MANUFACTURING COM
PANY.
There will be two Singer paviI-
ions, one in the Manufactures Building,
from the American factories, and one
in the Varied Industries Building,
from the British factory.
Here one may see the practical
manufacture of Corsets, Muslin Un-
derwear, Shoes, Mems Wear, ETC., by
operatives from leading establish
ments in these industries. There viii
be machines for stitching the heaviest
rubber and leather betting, for making
a dozen dainty tucl1s at once, for
attaching all kinds of buttons, hooks
and eyelets, for sewing sails, for
stitching kid gloves and furs, in short,
for everything that can, or might
be stitched.
There are eighty, or more dis
tinct types of Singer sewing machines
for manufacturing purposes, and these
types are adapted to many hundred
varieties for thousand or more spe-
cial uses, all interesting and educa-
ional to the great majority of people.
The display of Art Needlework,
for which the Singer Company has
long been noted, will excel anything
previously shown; and the various
types of sewing machines for family
use will include some new designs
recently perfected and about to be
placed on the market.
