Fearful Death Record in Russc-Japa-
nese War.
Norfolk Pr bile Ledger.

Norfolk Public Ledger
What IL terrible record Of death
that was Which the japanese COM
handing officer sent to his home
government at Toxic, in reporting
his operations. Said he: ''Since the
last telegram referring to the enemy :
dead. the bodies left on the field have
been increased to the following:
Found by the right army, 5000;
found by the left army, 3,6O;'; found
by the center army, 1880. Total,
1898. The number of prisoners
captured totals 7O9." During the
early days of the American Civil War
the number of soldiers wounded i'll
battle averaged about five for every
one killed. Later, by reason OF the
changed character of the weapons
used. the number Of wounded de-
creased to about three for every one
killed. At the latter ratio, the NUM-
Der of Russians who were wounded
III the engagements reported by the
Japanese commander would have
been forty thousand. The small
number of prisoners captured IS also
a matter of comment. That only a
few hundred prisoners should have
surrendered from a retreatlng army,
whose casualties must have been in
excess of fifty thousand, is remark
able. Whether this result was caused
by the lono-range weapons that were
used by both armies, or from other
causes. we do not know, but Judged
by what happened in the great strug-
Gle that took place in this country
forty years ago, the number of Rus
sian prisoners captured by the Japa-
nese appears surprisingly small.

Dear, kindly Matt Ransom. erst-
while American minister here, i'll the
DAYS before there was an embassy.
He was the pink of courtesy, n real
chevalier, romantic in a way, always
Chesterfieldian. even to the point OF
making the most polite MeXicans de-
spair Of rivaling him. In his solitary
walks Minister Ransom liked the AL
ameda, and the Paseo de la RefOrma,
then not built up. He was fond OF
gorgeous sunsets, volcano tops tinged
with pink, a pretty girls bright eyes,
a noble horse, and all OF Gods good
things. He was a stated y figure any
where. and his manners were OF the
fine old Southern school. He should
be made an arcIlangel, he had the
figure and the dignity. His language
was choice and he was nice about
verbal usages. To know him was to
love him, for he was a man OF per-
sOnal charm.

We have seen nothing i'll any OF our

incident that occurred at Lancaster,

Yesterday morning X. f. Allison, the
oldest member OF the Lancaster bar,
announced t he death OF Bishop lsOm
&. Clinton, OF the African Methodist
church. and moved that the court
adjourn in respect to his memory I'M
til Monday next.
The motion WAS seconded by Major
Wylie, of the Lancaster bar, and by
Solicitor Henry. The speakers alI
paid proper tribute to the lamented
dead. Judge Watts granted the mo-
ton and ordered the adjournment of
the court, expressing. his high appre-
citation of the character and services
of the bishop to his people and to the
cause OF religion.
Bishop Clinton was a negro and
had been exercising the office of the
ministry for more than fifty years.
He was n slave in his early life and
lived at peace with his white neigh
bOrs all his life
The action of the court in Lancas-
terwas a notable tribute to the dead
bishop. The lawyer on whose motion
the court adjourned and the lawyers

Judge who granted the motion are all

WATCHERS APPOINTED.
Supreme Court Has Granted the
Petition of the Peabody
Leaders.

Denver. Nov. 81 Special The
Supreme court this morning decided
to grant the petition of the Peabody
leaders and will appoint watchers in
the 80 out of the 200 precincts in the
city and county of Denver. The same
tribunal decided that the conditions
in Las Animas county must remain as
they were under the rulings of Judge
Northcutt and ruled that no jurisdio-
tion could be taken in the matter.
In this case the democrats made
application for the Supreme court to
assume jurisdiction in order to prevent
fraud. Both deci sions are a decided
surprise as in each instance the same
matters We're before the court although
presented in a different manner.
Both actions were for the supposed
purpose of stopping great frauds on
the ballot and the remedy asked for
in one case was as important as in
the other.
Justices Gabbert and Campbell held
for appointing the watchers in Den
yer while Justice Steele objected.

vote will be for the capitalist class
and continuation of the present sys-

and social disorder, such as we have
had in Colorado the mast two years; !;

a change of the present system to the

faculties multiplied by all the modern

If you want such a change, write
the two words, SOCIALIST LABOR.
OH your ballot and vote the Socialist
Labor party ticket straight, as this Is
the only way to vote for change.
If you want to continue the present
industrial strife. vote for either of
the old political parties, as they are
alike upholders of the present system
of capitalism in all that the word
Capitalism may imply.
The thing to do is to learn what
you want and then vote for it, and to

SOCIALIST LABOR, on your ballot

either Socialism or Labor.

PANAMA "SOONERS.

| The rumorS of trouble in Panama between the Pan
anna government on the one side and the canal build

need cause no grave concern says the Post t-Intel
gencer There is nothing to it, 1t is manufactured
incident designed to do duty in the campaign
The Panaman people desired the presence of the
Americans In fact, they invited all that has oc-
cured Panama would have gone further and would
undoubtedly have accepted annexation outright had
that idea found favor with this country. Panama
has 10 millions of dollars invested as to practically
assure the necessary revenues of government. This
is the result of American control of the canal zone
When government reservation is to be opened
the border lines are thronged for weeks in advance
with men who are looking for chance to get some
thing good A few of the more restless ones some
times get over the border before the appointed day
These fellows are the sooners" All westerners are
familiar with them. 1.-The sooners" are in Panama
now. They are on the isthmus in advance of the new
era. There isn't much doing and the sooners are
restless They get into mischief The chances of in
cidental profit are not what they soon will be- The
Panama authorities are holding the sOoners in check
and to relieve their feelings the latter do more or
less talking. This talk is magnfed by the democratic
press and used for partisan purposes.
The Panama people are not going to resent Amer
lean government of the canal zone in harmony with
American ideas of government and American pur-
poses The treaty provides for that, no more no
less. When the campaign is over there will be
dearth of news and of editorial comment concerning
rumors of disquieting conditions on the isthmus.

from $14S00,000 to $3sl00000 Those to Hawaii
and Porto Rico alone increased from $6,000,000 to
$23 100000 highly gratifying fact when it is re.
membered that the combined population of these
two territories is less than 100000 and that large
portion of ii consists of working people whose wages
are meager, The principal part of our shipments to
Porto Rico and Hawaii was made up of cotton man
ufactureS, breNdstutfS and provisions and manufac-
lures of iron and steel which indicates the nature
of the market for American products that these ter
ritories afford.
If the United States has profted by exports to
these non,contguous territories, however. the latter
have protited still more by the enlarged market for
their products which this country has offered, In
the deeale ended with the fiscal year 1904 our pur-
chaSeS from these territorial wards increased in value
from $23,2OO,OOO to $59,l5O000 More than half
of these imports in value last year consisted of sugar
-$25, 100000 worth coming from Hawaii alone, and
100000 worth coming from Porto Rico, OF the
$l0200,000 of imports from Alaska in 1904 over S.,
100000 consisted of canned salmon figures that fur
nsh some idea of the extent of this industry The
value of the canned salmon that Alaska sold to the
United States last year was over 5000 900 more than
the value of the gold produced from her own mines
which she shipped to this country.
This growth in our trade with our non-contiguouS
territories shows the wisdom of maintaining liberal
trade relations with them, AS they expand in wealth
they become better customers for our products ,
while on the other hand, their own chief products
have become neceSSarieS to us; and the easier the
terms are under which they can be procured the
public will be promoted
