Dalny. Manchuria, July IS. - This
town, which was left in q dismantled
condition by the Russians, when they
abandoned it has been practically re-
stored by the Japanese, who are main
tanning rigid discipline. Commerce is
again brisk and the Chinese, who were
driven out before the evacuation, have
returned. The waterworks have not
yet been restored, but..the wharves have
all been repaired. The entrance to the
harbor is still dangerous, owing to the
presence there of the sunken hulks of
ID small craft sunk by the Russians to
keep out the Japanee. 1t is also be-
lieved that there are some sunken
mines in the bay, but it is very diff
cult to locate them.
The Japanese are advancing against
Port Arthur by two roads, one army
moving eastward from Dalny and the
other along the center road from XII
noon, the former assisted by the navy.
On July the Japanese, by bril-
liant charge, captured the Miaotsui
fort, which gave them a strong posi-
ton from which they Immediately be-
gan heavy bombardmen to the east

The Japanese losses in the series of
engagements, eliminating in this cap

no effect on the rank and file.

excellent work and is reported to have
taken the outworks of Shuishiing, one

If your scandalous charges were proved, the
American people would rise in indignationIS Yet
vour pretended concrete instances Of e1tor-
ton and your violent general denunciations are,
as YOU sadly confess. received by the mass OF
voters with stolid unconcern." Can't you sea
why? 1t is because the general public, the In
dependent press the religious press, all believe
that you are merely libeller, and they nave
told YOU So You brought scandalous charges
against the honor Of men of high standing in the
community You pretended TO have concrete
evidence Of extortlon and blackmailing. In face
of denials and demands for any evidence in your
possession you refuse TO produce evidence and
continue to circulate the hbels. which you will
not and cannot prove. IN the hope Of harming
political opponents, regardless Of truth And
yet you presume TO wonder that the public
utterly ignores your frantic walls Of despera-
ton. 1t is net the public conscience. but your
own, that is asleep

TO drive the Republicans from power declared
that you were a bondservant chained to the car
wheels Of a certain Democratic National Com

VIe1LAEcE NOT IETTM1DAT1oN.

The reply made by the State Superintendent
OF Elections 10 the intimidation" clamor Of
Tammany Hall should be convincing and con-
elusive 1t VIII doubtless prove so to most fair
minded and thoughtful citizens II may not to
the law committee OF Tammany Hall, or if 1t
does the fact may not be admitted. There are
those who are not open to conviction, especially
those who make charges knowing they are in
sincere and for the mere sake Of deceiving some
people, If possible, into supposing they true.
ANY protest against vigilance at the polls would
ring hopelessly hollow when proceeding from so
notorious a corrupter Of the franchise as Tam
many Hall has long been. Any protest from any
source must ring hollow when directed against
so reasonable, so temperate and so impartial a
campaign for electoral purity as that which Mr..
Morgan is now conducting.
Mr.. Morgan repeats clearly and tersely the
grounds upon which he and his deputies are
working. We have already explained in these
columns the four classes Of names OF which his
challenge lists are composed. When Mr.. Nor
gan says the names Of seventy thousand house
holders who have removed their residences in
the year have been put upon the challenge lists,
lac does not mean those men are TO be chal-
lenged when they seek to register from their new
addresses. He means that II other men seek
10 register under their names from those old ad-
dresses they will be challenged. That is TO say,
IL Mr.. KurOki Kuropatkin registered and voted
last year from No. 1000 Madison Square. and IS
known TO have moved away from that address
since then and to be now living at Hohokus, " ] j..
and II now some other man turns up and wants
10 register Mr.. Kuroki Kuropatkin. Of No.
1000 Madison Square, why, this other man is
going 20 be challenged and have a chance
either to demonstrate bis identity or to prove
his faith by making affidavit that he is the man
be processes TO be. So it is with the other three
classes. The potential challenges are directed
against prima facie fraud, and not against hon.
est voters
In prosecuting this work, not Of intimidation
but Of civic vigilance. Mr.. Morgan seems to be
acting without regard 10 party lines. His chaI-
lenge lists are sent into Republican and Demo-
cratic districts alike. They bear the names of Re-
publicans and Of Democrats alike. Among those
upon whom suspicion fell last week and who
were in consequence arrested, perhaps the most
conspicuous was Republican candidate for Of
fee. He was brought to book to answer for al
legged misdeeds with no more hesitation or COM
FUNCTION than would have attended the arrest
of Tammany Hall leader. We are not sitting
in Judgment upon ATr. Van Cots case II he is

TIE GENERAL SLOCUM.

The Presidents vigorous action in regard to
the Slocum disaster will receive as it deserves.
practically universal approval. The head OF
the national government shows fine appreCla-
ton Of the causes. of that lamentable affair ana
employs the best means in his power to avert
. repetition of it, BY summarily removing
Rodie and ordering the dismissal of Dl-
mont and Barrett, he sternly rebukes their
gross negligence and the recent attempt to
whtewash Lundberg and Fleming. But the
President does not stop there. The Secretary
of Commerce and Labor is directed TO under
take a thorough wedding out of the force
now engaged in the inspection service. In the
mean time the investigation of the commission,
which has thus far been limited to evils exist
ing in this city, is to be extended to other
ports and to the central office at Washington
AS there is no reason to think that the inquiry
will be less courageous and searching in the
future than it has been in the past. there to-
day is a better promise of reform than mas oeen
visible for a quarter of century
To those who have closely watched the course
of the administration for the last two or three
years its present action will occasion no sur
prise Premonitions Of change were ancrded
when Dumont was transferred from the he;iu
Of the bureau to the York office. Other
unmistakabIe signs were perceived when Sec
retary Cortelyou asked Congress-unfortunate-
IL in vain-for larger power TO ascertain ana
correct abuses Finally, when a special com
mission was appointed in June to look into the
then recent disaster, the composition OF that
body was prophetic. As matter OF courtesy
the President made General Uhler member
Of It, but he also selected four other men about
whose independence, honesty and penetration
there could be no question. The admirable
manner in which their duty was performed VIM
dicates Mr.. Roosevelt's choice of the agents re-
ouired to carry out his wishes and gives the
country a fresh assurance of his earnestness
OF purpose
One of the most convincing portions OF the
commissions report is that which touches the
responsibility of the owners of the Slocum'
The doctrine is enunciated that they are both
legally and morally culpable for failing to COM
plv with the law in respect to apparatus Tor
fighting fire and an adequate number OF suita-
BILE life preservers. The officers of the steamer
are also blamed severely for not holding hre
drills and thus famiIiarizing the crew with its
duties in an emergency. These aspects or the
case are not presented a whit too strongly
The conclusions here expressed are in harmony
with those reached by the community long ago
Besides inasmuch as the commission sees little
prospect Of improvement in the construction OF
excursion steamers. there is the greater neceS-
sity for emphasizing the obligations or good
management.
