put in the lights, although itwould
entail an initial expense of $500,
and Sl2 u month for each light ;
that is, if the city remained in
corporated; but if incorporation
was abolished they would not, OF
course, have to put in the lights
and he requested that the Council
allow the railroad an extension OF

X QUEEN CITY.

Goodwin's Weekly: San Francisco
is pressing steadily to the front as q
great commercial city. The Argonaut
gives the figures to show ''the dominant
fact that the San Francisco clearing
house transacts more business than all
the clearing houses of Los Angeles,
Seattle. Salt Lake, Portland, Spokane.
Tacoma, Helena, Sioux Falls, Denver,
Topeka, Fremont. Wichita and Colorado
Springs put together" And no other
city is jealous of San Fracisco. Does
she not sit like a Queen by the Golden
Gate? Is not her harbor the only real
n for six hundred miles north OF
south? Is not the State behind the city,
the fairest and richest in native re.
sources in the Union? Now that
the trans-P acifc trade is beginning to
take on colossal proportions why should
not the beautiful city begin to expand
by leaps and bounds? Since 40 the
argonauts and their descendants have
claimed q part proprietorship in the
great place. She cannot become rich
enough or fair enough to excite anything
but admiration in the thoughts Of her
nei0hbors.

pissattsned Republican,.

Reno Journal: There is every bit as
much harmony in the Democratic party
as there is in the Republican, but there
is a great difference in the positions OF
the two parties. The one is in power
and the other is out. When a party
has control of a vast National patronage
it ian stand inharmony much better
than can one which has no plums to
distribute. To be sure the distribution
often causes much ill-feeling, but the
disappointed ones continue faithful in
the hope that their turn will com
sometime.
We have q fine example Of that trust
full loyalty Il the Republican party
right in Nevada. A little coterie of
shellbacks have taken unto themselves
all the places of honor, trust and profits,
and they have chung to these places like
woodticks to a Virginia ~pickaninny.
Those who have failed to get anything
as a reward for their fealty have
grumbled and scolded and said harsh
things of the ''close corporation" which
runs the Republican party of Nevada,
but they have kept their party standing
good, bouyed up by the belief that ''all
| things come to those who wait" So
they do, if the waiting n can only
wait long enough. Whether they can
| do this or not is beginning seriously to
| trouble some Nevada Republicans.
They are in grave doubt, and many of
| them fear that the election of Roose-
welt will merely make the ''close cor
poration" a little closer and extend its
lease of life. In this they are probably
right.
For these dissatisfied Republicans the
Journal feels a degree of sympathy, but
hardly knows how to express it. The
best advice it can offer them is that
they cut loose from their present politi-
cal associations and come over to our
side. They may have to wait awhile
for plums. but certainly no longer than
they will have to where they are and in
the meantime they will be in good com.
pany-excellent.

why He Wa Turned Down.
The turning down Of Judge Fitz-
gerald by the Fusion State Central
Committee as a delegate to the Ma
tional Democratic Convention has re-
Gently been presented in a different
light. 1t is stated in order for the Flu
sion party of Nevada. which is synonym
GUS with Democracy, to fuse success
fully with the gold standard Democrats
who are expected to control the St.
Louis convention, it was essential that
no uncompromising silver man be
selected as a delegate. In other words
it was necessary to select delegates per-
fectly in harmony with the ''rest In
allegiance" or "rest in peace" plan.
Judge Fitzgerald is known to be un'
compromising in his advocacy OF silver,
and it was feared that were he sent as a
delegate he might bolt the Convention
unless it reafirmed in plain and IN
equivocal language the financial planks
of 1896 and 1900, The same authority
states that all the delegates selected
were carefully sounded so that there
would be no boilers when the st. Louis
Convention adopted its financial plank.
1t is expected that this plank will be a
masterpiece in the way Of showing the
possibilities Of the English language to
express nothing with resounding sem
fences. 1t is to be so worded that it
will satisfy the Parker Democrats that
it is for gold, yet at the same time rest
ing silver Sin allegiance" to the salts
| faction of Senator Newlands. Judge
Fitzgerald is not the kind Of a man to
be a party to such issue-juggling. He
is always fearlessly direct, o~ut.spoken
and forcible, and believes that party
honesty is the thing to stand for and
evasion and deception the thing to stand
against. There is no middle course.
Knowing the sterling independence Of
Judge Fitzgerald, that he could not be
deceived by platform sophistry, nor
swerved by any arguments on party
pressure from the course he thought in
his own mind was right. the Fusion

OF Vladivostok.

OA sA00AsOcee0
The later official reports of the battle
of the Yalu river that commenced early
this week show that the Russians met
with . crushing defeat which they
neither expected nor deemed possible.
The Russian general staff at st. Peters
burg has given out the most complete
details of the disaster which has befal-
len their forces. They admit that TO-.
600 men were actively engaged in the
battle. And q of the forty field guns
in the batteries engaged they confess
that twenty.seve fell into the hands OF
the japanese. The slaughter in each OF
these batteries was friRhtful. Many
officers and nearly all their Runners
were killed by the japanese fire. In
one battery every man was killed.
which means that from 226 to S24 arfil.
lerymen bit the dust at that one point.
Russian batteries in war time varying
in strength between those figures.
Fears are expressed at st. Petersburg
that the Russian loss will reach 5000.
Lieutenant-G General Zassulitch, who
was in command Of the Russian army,
and Major General Katchalinsky are
reported by the Russian general stan
to be both wounded. A Russian officer
who wal taken prisoner by the Japan.

Katchalinsky was killed at Hamatan.
where the heaviest fighting seems to
have been done. While the Russians
fought bravely, the battle ended in a
rout. as the survivors left arms and am
munition in their hurried fight to Feng-
| Huan.C heng. The Japanese kept up
tho pursuit until nightfall.
Naturally. the greatest gloom exists
at st. Petersburg over the disaster to
Russian arms, and General K~uropatkin,
who is at Hardin, is said to be stunned
| by the unexpected reverse. Both cen.
tiers of military authority are now seek
| ing for q scapegoat. Zassulitch is prac-
tically accused ia both quarters OF dis
| obedience Of orders in allowing himself
to be drawn into a general engagement.
| But the commanding General may be
| able to show that such encouragement
could not be avoided. Moreover. it is
inconsistent with ths elaborate pains
taken to defend every strategic point
along the right bank of the Yalu river
to assume that they were intended only
as a means Of passive resistance and to
harass and delay the Japanese advance.

resented to have attempted to send into
the entrance Of the harbor during the
night nine merchantmen under q fnli

Port Arthur. says the attempt was dis
covered in time to defeat it, the whole
merchant nset being sunk by the guns
Of the fortress. He claims that the
channel is still clear. Togo has not
yet reported the result of the operation,
and it may be necessary to hear from
him before the true facts are known.
