London. Sept. SO-The failure of the
latest Japanese attempt to drive out
the Port Arthur fleet and reduce the
fortress led, according to the Daily
Telegraph's Chefoo correspondent to
the decision that the Japanese must go
into winter quarters, the Japanese Of
flcers admitting Stoessel is making a
superb resistance.
The Telegraph's correspondent at
Sinmintin says the Chinese authorities
there have issued an order forbidding
the sale OF goods to the Russians, on
the ground that it would constitute a
breach of neutrality.
The Posts report of a general en-
gagement in which the japanese were
victorious at Mukden is not confirmed
from any quarter. 1t is probably an ex-

lican element in part, by withhold
ing from circulation large sums of
loan fund" moneys that might
heretofore have been made available
had the departments used due dill
gence in prosecuting the several
works comprised i'll loan fund APP
preparations;
Warrants in Place of Cash.
And in eNtravagant adninistra-
ton, resulting in the issuance of
government warrants to employees
and supply men, a preposterous
course whereby the taxpayers are
being daily mulcted in the amount
of interest paid on unproductive
loans on the one hand and the loss
incidental to discounting warrants
on the other.
Productive Works Only.
In this connection we favor the
policy of making loan appropria-
tons for productive works only and
within these restrictions advocate d
comprehensive system Of public
works throughout the Territory.
To Revise Tax Laws.
We pledge Our candidates to the
Legislature to revision of Our Tax
Laws;
An adjustment of our other
sources of revenue, INCLUDING the
Excise Laws, and providing for the
substitution of Toll Bill for wharf
dues, thus doing away with the
present conditions whereby the gov

An enactment covering forced
sales of property for taxes SO as
to provide for redemption of the

And an appropriation bill so
framed that the annual expehdit-

administration incapable of SO limit

the introduction and support of a
measure looking to permanent APP
preparation for the same purpose.
Labor To Be Protected.
We favor all reasonable measures
looking to the amelioration of labor
conditions among the citizens OF
this Territory and to the upbuild-
ing of permanent homes within our

We favor a more strict enforce

hour laws, coupled with minimum
wage on public works and an ex-
tension of this provision along rea-
sonable lines to embrace labor re-
quired under valuable franchises OF

the date when Mr. Barrett wrote there
had not been i single case OF yellow
fever for over month, and there was
less malaria than is often encountered
III sections Of the United States. OF
course the existing sanitary arrange
ments of the isthmus leave much to be
desired. but Mr.. Barrett has no doubt
that when the plans adopted by the
canal commission for the Improvement
Of the canal zone and Of the adjoining
cities Of Panama ana Colon have been
carried out the isthmus will he one OF
the healthiest regions ia the world
