REGRET DEATHoF ADMIRAL
Rejoice at Victory, but Sorry Enemy's
Brave Leader Was Among
Killed.

Toxic, April 14.-1O a. m.-The first
intimatiOn of the result of Vice-Ad-
miral Togo's seventh attack on Port
Arthur reached Toxic at 8 O'Clock
this morning. The news was received
with intense satisfaction, especially
the report of the destruction OF the
battleship Petropavlovsk. There was
a note of regret, however, in the com
ment of the report on the death OF
Admiral Makaroff, for he commanded
the respect of his opponents. The Jap
anese admired the manner in which
he had rehabilitated the fleet after the
first attacks. on Port Arthur, and the
splendid fight he was making against
odds. The navy department expect
reports from Admiral Togo tonight.
It is expected he left Port Arthur to.
night to return to an unknown base
and will telegraph then.
A brief report from Admiral Uriu
of Wednesdays fighting off Port Ar
thur reached the navy department this
afternoon. 1t says Vice-Admiral Togo's
fleet attacked Port Arthur in the
mornin, and succeeded in sinking a
battleship of the Petropavlovsk class
and one torpedoboat destroyer. The
Japanese sustained no losses. One
Japanese was wounded. The detailed
report of the engagement is expected
hourly.

SHEPARD GITES UP HOPE.
Tells Friends Parker Is Sure To
Be Defeated.

Edward 81. Shepard, who has worked hard
and long to elect Parker. told half dozen of
his intimate friends this week that. while he had
a high opinion of Judge Parker, he didn't be-
neve he had q reasonable chance of winning
next Tuesday. He further said that while he
would not abate his efforts for the of the
Democratic national and state tickets. he had
discovered that the drift was SO strongly In
favor of the Republicans that Roosevelt and
Fairbanks were sure to be elected.
1t was his opinion, as expressed to these
friends that Roosevelt and Fairbanks would
ceive the greatest majority in the Electoral Col
lege ever given Republican candidates. He also
said that while he hoped Judge Parker would
win. he was glad that the victor would be as
good man as Roosevelt. He said that he knew
Roosevelt well. and had found him to be at all
times and In all circumstances an honorable and
high minded gentleman. In view of Mr.. Shep
ards frankness his friends admire him for his
devotion to what he believes to be true Demo-
cratic principles. even when defeat is imminent.

PARKER ON TRUSTS.

remedy for the evils inherent in combinations to
control trade and restrict competition. He does
not defend the solution of the trust problem Of
fered in the Albany platform on which he made
his canvass for the Democratic nomination.
Even In New-Jersey he does not care to pro-
claim that he believes that corporations char

important details were "judiciousy' left to the

would Ike to know little more about his anti
trust views Is he going TO hold. with Mr.
cleveland, If elected that the federal antitrust
statutes are practically unenforceable and make

What Judge Parkers real attitude toward
the trusts is was made known at the time he
sought the Democratic Presidential nomination
Inc Albany platform outlined it, and it was
clearly and fully expounded in the discussion
which followed over Judge Parker's availability
as a Presidential candidate. In a speech at
chicago on April % Colonel William J. Bryan
made these comments on Judge Parker's anti
trust views:
Inc ALBANY platform ANTITRUST plank has
therefore no meaning at all it stands unless
there Is secret suggestion that the regulation
OF corporations must be left entirely to the
states. That is the position taken by the trust
masnates. Whenever Congress attempts to in
terfere with a trust the friends of the trust at
once insist that the State must do the regulating
that is the position taken by the dissenting
mem ers of the Supreme Court in the merger

This Democratic Interpretation Of Judge Par
