Cameron, Idaho, Aug. 10, 1904.
Democrats are as scarce on the Pot
latch prairie this year as butterflies
are on rainy day.
During the last three weeks l have
interviewed thirty -seven voters who
say that they have never voted any
other than the straight democratic
ticket. OF the thirty-seven only three
say they will vote for Parker. The
other thirty -four declare they will vote
for Roosevelt. One man writes thus:
MY Dear Sir:-In reply to your let
ter of recent date asking me whether
I intend to vote for Parker and Davis
will say that if you think l am
consummate idiot you are mistaken.
True it is l have acted the part of one
for long time, but l have learned a
few things and therefore l shall act
differently this year l had intended
to accumulate enough money during
republican prosperity so that l might
again vote the democrat ticket without
feeling any fear of coming face to face
with starvation. Ond tho l have made
and saved more money In the past sew

News of Japs' Capture of Guns at
---- Kin-Chall Received.

ST. Petersburg, May %, sos p. M
Emperor Nicholas received the re-
port that the Russians were COM
PEELED to retire before the heavy ar
tillery fire of the enemy's batteries in
front and of his Warships on their
flank at Kin-chau with composure. as
being the fortune of war. He was
considerably agitated by the later re-
ports that General Fock had not sue
ceeded in saving the Russian guns.
A high officer Of the general staff
declared to the correspondent of the
Associated Press that the loss Of guns
reported captured was unavoidable,
If confined to those mounted in the
works on the hills below Kin-chau,
| as they could not be carried away
when the Russians retired, but the
breech blocks, he added, probably had
been removed. = 50 rala 81 s@
Before the enemy could use the
guns against Port Arthur, he said,
they wonld have to manufacture spe-
cial cartridges. Therefore, the loss
was not so serious a matter. The i'm
portant thing to ascertain was wheth-
er the Japanese had captured any
field guns.
The same officer said the works at
Kin-chau had been hastily construct
ed and were no criteion Of the works
at Port Arthur, which could not be
fanked-where the forts were scien-
tifically erected and connected to sup
port each other.
IF the Japanese lost 5000 men in
taking Kin-chau," the officer added,
they will lose 10000 men at least if
they try to take Port Arthur. Even
with such a sacrifice, consider the
capture Of the fortress impossible.
Port Arthur, in my opinion, is i'm
pregnable SO long as it's food and am
munition hold OUT

NEED 10000 MEN
Former Russian Commander Talks Of
Japs' Task at Port Arthur.

ST. Petersburg, May 2S.-Captain
JakovleH, former commander of the
Russian battleship Petropavlovsk
who was wounded when his ship was
destroyed at Port Arthur, April Is, in
an interview regarding the 'possibility
of the Japanese capturing Port Ar
thur, declared that it would take $780,
600 men with magnificent artillery to
accomplish the task @
Asked as to the number of men in
the Port Arthur garrison, Captain
,Jakovlef said it was much larger
than was stated in the telegraphic re-
I ports-much over rs, 000-but he de-
clined to state what would be the ex-
act number when the defenders Of
the Kin-chau position retiring within
the fortress. ,s--
He discussed with some detail the
difficulties Of the approach. After the
outline Of the fortif1cation is reached,
said he, q number Of detached posi-
lions must be captured by the enemy
before they reach the inner ring of de-
lenses. The taking Of each position
would necessitate a bloody battle and
their capture would leave the citadel
untouched, and to his mind impregna-

A great deal, of course, would de-
pend upon the relative merits of the
Russian guns could not be judged by
the results on the Yalu, where the
: Russians had only light advance
guards artillery against the heavy
siege guns which the Japanese were
bringing up for use in Manchuria.
Port Arthur, Captain Jakovleff said,
had mounted numerous guns land
ward while Makaroff's system Of range
finding is so nearly perfect that the
Japanese never Ventured within
reach of the shore batteries.
AS illustrating the fact that the
i Japanese artillery is not necessarily
Finvincible, the captain said the battle
ship Petropavlovsk was struck by a
L12-inch shell at a distance Of 2& miles
Sand her armor was penetrated to a
depth Of only inches. He declared
that Port Arthur was provisioned for
year and said all the damaged ships
there had been repaired except the
fRetvizan and the Czarevitch. The
latter he asserted, ought to be ready
to-day and the former within a week.

SATURDAY EVENING,

the money market of long-drawn-5
out struggle. Il They do not expect to
end the war In a week, but they hope
that as a result Of their labors, strong
steps toward peace will be taken in
the next two. or three months. and
they already making headway-7-gs
wall street and the administration
are deeply interested in the success
Of the movement. Wall street fears
the effect of prolonged war on gem
eral financial conditions, and the presi-
dent fears that if money becomes dear
1t may become difficult to sell, for any
thing like q fair price, the bonds that
are to be issued to- furnish the money
for the construction of the Panama
canal. The argument has been used
on the president by New York finan-
ciers and he has become their ally
in the peace movement. .ss
If there is any intimation. no mat
ter how slight, that the presidents
advances would not be repulsed, the
next step will be to have some friendly
member of the diplomatic corps talk
the proposal over in an entirely un-
official way with Count Cassini, the
Russian ambassador, and Mr.. Taxa
hira, the Japanese minister.
They would then take the matter
up with their governments and IL there
were more favorable Indications, Mr..
Hay would submit the proposition to
them direct. But Mr.. Hay would not
take that step unless he was absolutely
sure Of his ground. Nothing farther
has so far been done than to drop the
line for the first sounding.
Tho the war has lasted less than
four months and real fighting has only
Just begun, hostilities already have
cost more than a billion dollars. New
York financiers who have talked the
matter over with the president say
that the bourse shows nothing of what
the real effect on Russian securities
has been. They say that holders of
large amounts Of Russian securities
are holding them thru the fear that
if they should try to sell them they
would start panic that would force
Russia to end the war in a hurry.
The financters of Russia and France
stood out against the war to the last.
and finally approved it only because
they believed Russia would quickly
prove her supremacy. The repeated
Russian reverses have greatly de-
pressed them and made them anxious

WHAT WAR EXPERTS SAY
Taking of Kin-chau q Considerable
Feat of Arms-The Outlook.
York Sun Special Service.


New York Sun Special Service.
London, May 27.-Spencer Wilkin-
son, the Morning Posts war expert,
says:
1T was evidently a considerable
feat Of arms, involving more severe
4 fighting and heavier losses for the
B Japanese than the battle of the Yalu,
but a more stubborn resistance and
q greater collapse when it breaks
down, SO that the battle of Kin-chau
may perhaps carry the Japanese we'll
into the Kwang-tung peninsula and
leave them no second heavy fight be-
fore the investment of Port Arthur.
The Japanese are said to have 50,-
900 men engaged in the operations
double the strength Of the garrison
and sufficient for the task"
The Standards war expert says:
The japanese victory means that
the way into Port Arthur is practi-
'cally open, for if the Russians could
not hold relatively the narrow front
of the Kin-chau position against,
practically speaking, a field of artil-
+ ery only they certainly will not sue
coed in holding wider ones which now
they must perforce take UP and
against which the Japanese can al
ways bring up really heavy guns from
their sea-going squadrolls.
What big shells fired from such
weapons can do has not yet been dem
onstrated in land warfare. We can
only surmise it from the recorded re-
suits Of a few rounds fired by the
CamperdOWn in Crete, one of which
blew out measured crater some 4S
feet in diameter; but since no land
defense other than steel has yet been
constructed which can withstand their
effects, the fate of such forts for in
land defense as are known to exist in
the vicinity Of Port Arthur may be
considered as sealed already. ~

WAITING FOR OUR CUE
Europe Specializing on Attitude of
United States as to Floating Mines.

Europe Specializing on Attitude of
United States as to Floating Mines.
Special to The Journal
London, May 2S.-What course the
Washington government will take on
the question Of exploding contact
mines in the. Gulf of Pe-chi-I, outside
the three-mile limit, is a matter of
European speculation. The best Eng
lish opinion is that Mr.. Hay will feel
that until some accident has befallen
an American vessel he should not take
official notice Of the existence Of such
dangers to neutral vessels and that
even then his remarks should be ad-
dressed to both belligerents.
Experts in international law are
looking up the authorities in behalf
Of a possible British protest, should
a British merchantmen be sent to the
bottom by a mine In the open sea.
But it is conceded that the three-mile
limit can no longer be regarded as a
line of demarcation. Probably recent
events will lead to addition to the laws
Of war covering such case. WASH
ington is expected to give cue for
whatever is done.
