Preparations Making to Fight
in the East

A forward movement of the JAP
anese armies against the Russians
at Tie Pass, Sinmintin and Muk-
den seem to be imminent. From the
latest dispatches Feneral Kuro.
patkin is fortifying Fakoman,
northeast of Mukden, in order that
he may be prepared for the con.
tingency of the evacuation Of Sin
mintin.
Reinforcement Of Japanese, a,
we'll as Russians, are pouring into
Manchuria, the former more rapid
ly than the latter. They are cross
ing the Taitse river and joining
the advance upon the Russians al
the rate of 1000 day.
A vast turning movement lie in
progress, and General Kuroki, &C.
cording to Russian reports, is try.
ing to seize and cross the Hun
river east of Mukden, with the
evident intention of moving down
the river and cooperating with
the new fourth army from Sian
chan while Generals Oku and
Nodzu engage the attention OF
Kuropatkin south of Mukden.
More than 100, 600 troops and hun
dreds Of pieces of artillery are en-
gagged in this gigantic thanking
movement.
Severe fighting has occurred at
Inpu, between Bentsiaputze and
the railroad, and ut Kaouton Pass

way to Fushan.
The Rnssians' position ut Port
Arthur daily becomes more critical.
The Japanese do not make public
the slightest information concern
ing their operations.
The Russian navel organ KOtlin
predicts that Rear Admiral Wren
will attempt to break out OF Port
with his ships and return
to Europe. The pepper admits
that the task of escaping from
Admiral Togo appears to be hope
less if one takes for comparison
Admiral Cervera's attempt to got
awss from Santiago, but adds
that WIrep's men, unlike the
spaniards, have had plenty of war
experience.

Fearful Railroad Accident

Two trains on the Southern
Railway, carrying heavy lists OF
passengers, came together in n
frightful head-on collision, near
Hodges, Tenn, Saturday, killing
81 people and injuring 100, sever
al Of whom will probably die. This
appalling loss OF life and manning
of. the living resulted apparently
from the disregarding of orders
given to the two trains to meet at
station which has for a long
time been their regular meeting
point.
The possibility exists that the
Inflated engineer may have been
asleep, or that death had sudden
ly overtaken him before Newman
ket, the meeting point, was reach
ed. But nothing Is known save
that the orders were not obeyed.
The trains were on time and not
making over thirty-five miles an
hour, yet the impact as they
rounded a curve and came sudden
ly upon each other was frightful.
Both engines and the greater por-
ton of both trains were denolish-
ed, and why the orders were DIS
regarded or misinterpreted proba-
bly, will never be known, as the
engineers Of the two trains were
crushed to death, their bodies re-
naming for hours under the
wreckage of the locomotives,
The collision was between east
bound passenger train No. IL and
westbound passenger train No. Is,
from Bristol. Relief trains were
dispatched from Knoxville within
an hour, and all physicians in the
vicinity of the wreck were doing
what they could when the Knox
vile corps arrived. Both engines
and Pill of the coaches of No. 10
were literally demolished, the
smoker and baggage car complete
ly.

Mr.. Tribbett Writes Again From
Illinois.

WEST BRANCH, ILL, Sept. a.
DEAR GAzETTE;-We pulled out
from Parma on the 18th. at $50 a nI.,
over branch of the b. g. 0. X. r.,
and struck the q. b. e. @. at Boards
town, which carried us through the
great corn belt Of Illinois and l must
say the garden spot of the west.
We arrived at Rock Island sometime
in the night where we took the Rock
Island, Minneapolis and St. Paul
road, which carried us to West
Branch, Iowa, arriving at 1907. H.,
where We were met by a score OF our
Hawkeye friends. We were driven O
short distance to beautiful country
home, that OF Mr.. o. G. Pennocks.
After fewIhours' refreshing sleep we
found ourselves in another strange
land.
The land here Is not SO level as that
OF Illinois, but equally as rich. Corn
is the principal crop here and is util-
lied In feeding hogs and cattle. Oats,
barley, and hay are good crops here.
The apple crop here Is as fine as
the Virginia crop was last season,
Quakers from Ohio and Tennessee
were the first settlers In this immedi
ate section and asyet form the largest
of the population. They have trans
planted their we'll known doctrine
and beliefs to Iowa and continue to
live in their quiet, unostentatious
manner. And a stranger passing
through this section cannot fail to be
Impressed with their kindly manner
and hospitality.
This section Of the is rather histor.
ical from the fact that in the fall of
1856 john Brown, the liberator, found
refuge for himself and his followers,
remaining here until the spring Of
1857. This Is where he drilled his
men prior to his raid Gu Harper's
Ferry, where he met disaster.
AS far as l can learn politics is al
most dead issue up in Iowa. The
people here In that line are like our
Virginia psople. getting tired OF voting
and are driving business ahead.
Since l left home only one m4n has
asked me in regard to the political
situation in Virginia. BY the way,
he was preacher, too. Il told him
that the people 81 the east were pray
ing for the success Of tho japanese
md would vote for Parker and DAVIS
n November. He asked me to call at
his place and bid lie goodbye.
We shall be here for an indiflnite
iMa, THE GAZETTE is a welcome

Sundays Norfolk Landmark -
Yesterday We criticised the tone OF
a speech made by Mr.. Bryan II,
Denver. With regards to the re.
marks quoted from that speech
our opinion is unchanged. bqt il il
a pleasure to commend the very
different tone Of the former can
didate's observations in Spring
field, Missouri, where he said:
"Judge Parker believes in the
gold standard. | believe in BIZ
netalism. but can vote for him
in order that through him the
country may rid itself of
an imperial policy. What
# he does believe IN the golo
standard2 l never disliked An
advocate of the gold standard so
much that l would refuse any aid
that he WAS willing to give toward
bringing to the country any good
things, and Judge Parker's cleo.
ion would bring Ds reIief from i'm
perialism. iany silver Depopyat
is still in doubt as TO his duty, let
me say to him that Judge Parker
voted for me when the restoration
of bimetalism was the paramount
issue. If he could vote for me
when the money question was
paramount, l can vote for him
when we are confronted with an
other and greater issue tan the
nancy question"
That's the way to talk, Mr..
Bryan! That kind of argument
helps the ticket instead of injur-
Ing it. 1t has never been Our con-
tention that Mr.. Bryan should get
up and say what he does not be-
ieve. We have simply held that,
having declared his allegiance to
The Democracy in this campaign,
t is ipcumbent upon him to speak
pleasantly and beIpfully, and he
lid not have to surrender bis per-
ional convictions to do il.

JUDGE PARKER'S LETTER
OF ACCEPTANCE.

judy. Alton b. Parker's lette
formally accepting the nomi
nation for the Presidency on thu
Democratic platform, WAS publish
ed in Mondays papers. The letter
10 striking for its brevity and di
re .lness and for the forceful man
nef in which the candidate pre-
cents the issues of the campaign
Without Sombsst OF rancOr, Judge
Parker lays before the American
peo Die his views al the leading
issues Of the day, spurning the
use OF rhetoric or appeals to jim
goist sentiment To catch and bliUd
the v"tei. On all questions dis
cussed, his tone is that Of u man
who speaks from deep convict
i'm.
The letter, which is only about
one-haif the length of that Of the
Republican candidate, deals with
the Issues in terse, incisive
manner, easily understood by the
humblest voter. In 1t Judge
Parker stands squarely by his
previous declarations of the great
need of tariff reform for the ben
eft of the whole people, and for
the benefit of the manufact-
urer and consumer n K e.
He uphOlds the principle of recip-
rocity, so long promised yet never
worthily carried out by the Re-
publicans; urges the uncOndit-
ional pledging to the Filipinos of
their ultimate independence as a |
stimulus to their self-development;
favors the liberal pensioning of
ss4diers and sailors of the nation,
but by legal means onIy, and
pledges lis support, if elected, to
the passage Of an act legalizing
the increased pensions ordered
unconstitutionally by the present
Executive.
Judge Parker dwells particu-
larIy upon the issue OF tariff
reform. He points to the oppres-
sive burdens which the people are
under from the excessive
duties imposed by the DiLgley
schedules. "giving bounty to
foreigners at the expense of our /
people," and for the benefit of the
trusts.
On the issue of imperialism,
Judge Parker fOrewarns the q
