tire success. Last year the regatta proved
to be a most enjoyable spectacle for thou

local course is eminently suited to such
gathering of contestants, and It's conduct
was all that could be desired. Now the
boatmen composing the committee repre-
senting the various organizations are soic-
iting subscriptions to defray the incidental
expenses. including the cost of trophies and
the hiring of boats, etc The amount re-
quired Is not large compared with the en-
joyment that will be afforded to large num-
bers and the addition to the prestige of the
Potomac oarsmen. This September regatta
can easily be made a permanent institution
with proper public support. Without such
aid it is not to be expected that the mem
bers Of the rowing clubs themselves will be
able to support the meeting The city is
big and rich enough to give satisfactory
support to the sport. 1t is clean, honest and
enjoyable. 1t encourages young men to en-

Trenton, and a third at Hartford or New
Haven are already included among the IN
formal suggestions of the day.
Whatever the anti-Cleveland feeling IN
the west and in the south may be. it is not
likely to count at the polls. No democratic
calcula tions Of any value are founded on
the west. Mr.. Roosevet's strength is undis
puted in that quarter. and rests, not so
much upon disgust with Mr.. Cleveland

belief In the President and the policies for
which he stands. In the south are the
well-known conditions of no contests. Only
a few thousand votes will be necessary in
any of the lower southern states to
place 1t in the Parker column. The election
is a mere formality in that section. 1t
would be impossible for Mr.. Cleveland, by
anything he might say or DO. to change a
result already declared three months In ad-
vance of polling day.
There Is every reason to believe that Mr..
Cleveland will do whatever may lie in his
power for Judge Parker's success His in
terest Is not in the candidate-he is at

his own financial policy. He accepts Judge
Parker as the representative of his own
views, and as leading in his name The re-
Duke of Organism Is only in the person Of
Parker. Mr.. Cleveland has his own Ideas
about where the credit really belongs, and
In supporting Parker he is supporting HIM

the campaign.

The War Situation,

The week opens with the news of a Rus
sian defeat south of Niuchwang on Satur-
day. This Japanese success is regarded as
making certain the immediate evacuation
OF Niuchwang and the establishment of a
force of the. mikado's soldiers there, thus
placing the Japanese armies on both sides
of the Russian rail DAD line. It furthermore
shuts off Russia from all access to the sea
coast in Manchuria. Thus the evacuation.
which has been expected for some time but
delayed because the Japanese plans have
not developed to the extent of sharp ad-
vance upon this westerly railroad city, has
an important bearing upon the campaign in
general The fact that the Russians have
been prepared for many weeks to leave
Ntuchwang on short notice has been taken
as sign that KurOpatkn does not regard
the position as important. But it may also
be considered as indicating that he has not
enough troops at his disposal to protect
Niuchwang without weakening the long
front against which the Japanese armies
are pressing. AS the Japanese advance con-
tinues KuropatkIns embarrassments multi
ply. The closer the approach of the enemy
to his main line Of communications, the
railroad, the greater the necessity for
Strengthening the guards which he Is COM
PEELED to distribute thickly over Its length
throughout the Manchurian country. A
dashing japanese force might, by cutting
the line throw the whole Russian army at
the front into the direst confusion and pre-
cfpitate disaster of first magnitude OF
course. as kuropatkin retreats his line of
communication shortens, but the area of
danger continues undiminished with each
successive backward movement. Thus his
retreats are not helps in the point of releas-
Ing any of the railroad guards for frontal
duty. Now that the Japanese have estab-
lished themselves at or near Niuchwang,
with probable early occupation of that city,
and have thus taken station to the west of
the main line to Mukden, the threat of raids
against the railroad increases

Russia loses again as the result of en-
ploying a trick. She smuggled her cruisers

of embodiment with both Great Britain and
Germany, and there is a suspicion that
such a result would not have been unwel-
come to some of the cars advisers, who,
having discovered their mistake in egging
on a war with Japan, would be glad of an
opportunity to hide their discontinue in a
general shindy But the case was so weak
it could not be defended and Russia has
simply added to her embarrassments and
humiliation.
This trick was akin to the trick about
Manchuria Had Russia declared her real
purpose in remaining in China when the
other powers retired after the suppression
of the Boxer outbreak Japan would have
had company in her protests. The other
powers were misled. They accepted Rus
sias assurances of fair dealing and that
she would retire at the time she specified.
But Japan was wiser. She knew Russia
better. and could see that Russia's purpose
was to remain in Manchuria; that her OBJ
ject in promising to retire was to gain time
for strengthening herself for permanent oc-
cupation and that in the end force would
be necessary to dislodge her.
The world today accepts Japan's appraise-
ment of the matter. 1t is clear to every
body now that Russia never intended to
keep her promises to leave Manchuria. and
that Japan. so much menaced by her re-
naming there, was justified in appealing
to arms.

a reputation seriously injured by her per-
formances of the past few years, In which
not Japan alone. but all the great powers.

indefensible course.

brain Beats Muscle"
From the New York Herald.

The London papers comment upon the
victory Of the Americans in Saturdays in
teruniversity athletic contest as a success
of brain over muscle. 1t is not to be as
sumed that they deny to the young Yale
Harvard men the possession of we'll trained
muscles. The argument is that in sports
to which scientific precision can be APP
piled the Americans always win, and the
Express frankly says: They always will
unless we reform our methods" Nothing
could be more cordial than the reception
given to the American lads; nothing man
lier or more sportsmanlike than the spirit
in which their opponents have accepted de-
feat. The whole affair bears testimony to
the liberalizing influence of these friendly
International contests and their effect in
promoting mutual understanding and good
feeling between the peoples.
