JUDGE pARkERs PUBLIC SERVICE.


Not satisfied with suggesting that Judge Par
ker only expresses his thanks to Mr.. Bryan be-
cause he thinks 1t will pay, '"The New-York
Evening Post" gives another backhanded COM
pIiment to it's candidate. In special dispatch
from Its Washington correspondent 1t says:
Judge Parker has done public service in cali
ing attention to the suppression OF the preilIn-
mary estimates which are reported by bureau
officers to the heads OF their departments. Tens
OF millions of dollars involved in this policy,
which is a very old one and IL Is desirable tnat
n should he clearly understood before any de-
mand becomes widespread for change IN exist
ing practices.
That Is, Judge Parker's public service con-
sists in making such an egregious exhioitlon oi
himself In his complaints about suppressed gov
ernment figures that other people VINO Know
no more about II than he evidently does VIII
learn not only that the figures are not sup
Dressed which he said were suppressed Out
that the estimates which he had bIunderngy
confused with them, In his seemingly hopeless
ignorance Of government affairs. have been fong
secret and properly secret. and that PRESIDENT
RooseveIt's recent order mere.y uphoids good
old custom The correspondent points OUT, aS
we have already noted. that the figures or cur
rent receipts and expenditures which Judge
Parker originally said were suppressed are pup
lfshed daily He also shows that II the pre-
IimiDary estimates which are kept secret were
nubIished every section In which an expenol-
tura was tentatively considered would over
vheIm Congress and swell the actual appro-
nriations by 80 per cent Judge Parker per
forms a public service by making the people
aware that he has stupidity blundered. and that
what he criticises Is really something COM

Russia is unwilling to join the powers
in A second peace conference at The
Hague until her war with Japan is end
ed. The Russian reply to Secretary
Hay's circular note to the powers OF
October 90 last, inviting them in the
name of the President to reasse nble Ia
conference at The Hague "to complete
the postponed work of the first conier-
ence." was delivered verbally % Secre-
tary Hay yesterday by Count Cass'ni,
the Russian ambassador. The Ambassa-
dor vas requested by his government to
saw that Russia heartily accepted IN
principle the invitation To second con-
ference at The Hague and gladly
associated herself with the American
government in its effort to complete the
mission of the FIRST great assembly con-
yened under the leadership OF the
Russian Emperor. The Ambassador was
further requested to sag that while the
Russian government very sincerely
cherished these views, it did not con-
slider the moment oppOrtune Tor the con
venipc Of such conference, and II,
therefore, must withhold its formal ae-
ceptance Of the invitation until the war

Preparing for Anticipated Strike.

In view Of the fact that general strike
will be inaugurated in Buenos Ayres
Yesterday President Quintana had long
conferences with the Ministers OF
the Interior, War and Marine and the
Chief of Police, for the purpose CT adopt
ing measures for the suppression OF pos.
sible disturbances. An official statement
was given out last night that The poll e
are fully prepared to prevent any inter,
ruption OF necessary public service and
TO protect purveyors of fOodstufs and
those who are willing to work. The
government also has announced that 1t
Is in possession of sufficient power to
meet any emergency. Cavalry has been
taken to the capital to aid in the preser-
walton of public order and prevent inter-
ference with the railway or street car
services, should it be necessary. A state
of siege has not been declared, owing
TO the fact that 80 far no serious breach
of the peace has occurred. The general
strike movement has been planned to
continue only two days, but presents signs
indicate its possible extension. There
is complete tranquility in the city and
full confidence in the government.
