account Of the operations around Port

Heavy fighting, has occurred between
the first line of defenses and the Japa-

Nevertheless. little at a time. the facts
are becoming known. 1t is impossl-
BILE to find out the exact strength Of
the japanese, but they do not num-
Der less than 10000 men. Thirty thou
sand men are not sufficient for opera
tions against a fortress like this, tn
less they expect assistance.
After three days fighting the po-
siti0ns Of the two armies were as fol-
lows: On the left flank we retained
the position we originally occupied
The forcing Of our right flank back
previous to this was rectified, and now
we have both Green and Semaphore
hills In our hands. In front Of these
hills we were not opposed, but we are
being heavily shelled from both sides.
The enemy retired a considerable dis
tance. OF course all this was not won
without losses, some of which will
strike the hearts Of our countrymen.

Toxic, July 13. The japanese
Takushan army is moving northwest
from Siu-Yen. 1t fought a series of
small battles with the Russians on
July 8 and 10. The army is divided
into two columns, which advanced
against the Russians. When the first
column approached Chi-Kuan-Ching
the Russians retreated southwest
through the valley, but at 5 o'clock
in the evening they took up position
on the heights west of Chou-Chia-
Chang. The Russians were dislodged
at dusk, when the second Japanese col
umn advanced along the road toward

the Russians near Siu-Tang-Laku The
Russians were reinforced and COM

from the heights west of Sin-Chia
Ku. The japanese pursued them and
again attacked a strong position held
By the Russians at Siutehikou. Aft.

Of July 8 and 9 the japanese lost
about $50 men.

Chou at noon July 9. 1t is now re-
ported that they are in close touch
with Ta-Tche-Kiao. Japanese scouts

A. 60 His Views ON the Trust. Labor and
TariR Quss IONS.
"On the trust question the Demo
cratic platform Is very much better
than the Republican platform. but the
nomination of Judge Parker virtually
nullifles. the antitrust plank. Unless
In his letter Of acceptance he COM
mits himself to attempt antitrust leg
islation we need not expect him to
pursue a different course from that
pursued by President Roosevelt
$50 far as the labor questions are
concerned we must await Judge Park
er's letter before we shall know wheth-
er the laboring man has anything to
expect from his election. The labor
plank as prepared by Judge Parker's
friends on the subcommittee was q
straddling, meaningless plank. IN the
full committee planks were adopted
In favor Of arbitration. the eight-hour
day, and against government by In
junction; also plank on the Colorado
situation.
ION the tariff question some little
progress may be hoped for, but the
Parker men on the committee were
necessarily in favor of a very con-
servative tariff plank, and it remains
to be seen whether Judge Parker will
carry out the positive and definite
plank which was submitted by the
full committee. This is the situation.
Judge Parker stands for enough
things that are good to justify me in
giving him my vote, but as l have
tried to point out for several months
the triumph Of the Wall street ele-
ment of the party denies to the coun-
try any hope Of relief on economic
uuestione.n
