Judge Parker's Tariff Plan.

Judge Parkers suggestion In his speech
of acceptance that the tariff reform meas
ure should take effect at a specified date
beyond the enactment Is an unmistakable
sign that he has served too long on the
bench to engage in the discussion and far
less the solution of legislative and admins
trative problems of constructive statesman
ship. Such device to lessen the shock to
the business interests of ale country would
in practice work the very opposite effect
1t is by no means difficult to imagine the
state of trade under such conditions, with
an absolute prospect of tariff reductions to
come one. two or three years later. Every
manufacturer. importer and merchant
would Immediately cut down to the limit
of his necessities. No man could be ex-
might soon be called upon to sell at re-
duced figure. No importer would be apt
to buy abroad large quantities of materials
when he might soon find himself laden
with a high priced assortment and low
priced market. No merchant would take
on long lines of goods or hustle for new
business with a radical or even a moderate
change of tariff rates threatening-Or
promising as the case is viewed-new
trade bases
What would result from such a curtail-
ton of business In every branch and line.
The army of the unemployed would grow
by the tens of thousands. Panic would
follow on the heels of dull business.

Chefoo will be allowed to remain in a
dismantled condition or driven from port to
fall prey to the Japanese remains to be
seen.
There is some confusion regarding the
results of the sortie. Tokyo reports that 1t
failed and that the Russian ships ran back
for the harbor. Another dispatch states
that guardship lying close to the mouth
of the harbor saw two Of the battle ships
making back to port. Thus far the most
definite statement Is that from Tokyo that
Admiral Togo prevented the escape of the
Russians. Until full details arrive no es-
innate of the character and the net results
of the enterprise can be made. One report.
from Chefoo, is that japanese vessel was
sunk
But far above the details Of the naval
fighting is the acknowledgment that the
Russians at Port Arthur are in their last
extremity of defense. 1t Is. of course. true.
stated in one dispatch from Russian
sources. that the value to the Japanese
of the capture of the city would be much
less with the squadron escaped than with
the squadron caught or destroyed. With
Port Arthur eliminated Russian base,
even beleaguered. Japan Is free to patrol
the seas with the fleet that for many
months has been engaged In a diligent
watch of the harbor But 1t matters much
to Japan whether she has to watch large
or small fleet based at Vladivostok The
capture or destruction of the Russian YES
sells now recently at Port Arthur would
very greatly add to the prestige of the
capture of the place and be a serious If not
a finally Gripping blow to the Russian
hopes for prolonging the war.

Important News From Port Arthur

Whether the sortie of the Russian squad
ron from Port Arthur is a success or not 1t
is a frank confession. coupled with the
comments on it that come from ST. Peters
burg. that the fall of that city is near 1t
is plain that the Russians hoped to run out
of the harbor and make Vladivostok before
the japanese could head them Off Frag-
mentary dispatches that come today from
many sources indicate that preparations
have been made on a large scale for this
enterprise. One of the smaller vessels put
into Chefoo claiming TO be disabled and I'M
able to go further. but there is reason TO
suspect that she deliberately ran for that
port for the purpose of wiring to the Rus
sian commander at Vladivostok the signal
that the Port Arthur squadron had left
the harbor From Vladivostok comes word
that all is i'm readiness there for the re-
ception and protection of the squadron.
From ST. Petersburg comes the hint that a
prearranged plan Is in progress of execu-
ton. Whether the Russian ship now at
