TOKIO IS INTERESTED.

Tokio, Sept 15 q p. mlThe pres ence of the Russian warship Lena i'll San Francisco is exciting keen inter- est here, although the motive of tha trip is not understood. One theory ad> yanced is that Russia is endeavoring to test the attitude of America upon the legal questions involved. Another theory is that.the Lena while engaged in scouting, called at Korsakoff, found the wreck of the cruiser Novik, learned of the scattering of the Port Arthur fleet and the defeat of the Vladivostok squadron, took the Novik's crew on board and lied to San Francisco. The telegraphic reports of the Lenas crew and number of guns on board indicate abnormal conditions for ship of her class

 Shortly after the Sapphire came to anchor Judge Parker came ashore ac- companied by his secretary, Arthur McCausland, and John B. Mcponald.
 The judge appeared to be in excel lent health. He was asked about his trip down the river, and replied.
 T have nothing to say except that 1t was a rather pleasant trip down, although the boat rolled considerably"
 As the party went to the carriage, a boat keeper at the pier dressed in overalls and with sleeves rolled up went up to Judge Parker and greeted him by saying: Judge, let me shake your hand"
 "Certainly,' the judge replied, and they shook hands.
 The dock workmen responded with cheers as the judge started away, and Judge Parker responded by raising his hat
 The carriage was then driven rapid ly away to the Hotel Astor
 On his arrival at the Hotel Astor to-day, Judge Parker was greeted by former Senator Henry G. Davis, the vice presidential nominee and William K. Sheehan, who accompanied him to his apartment and went into confer ence with him. Senator German, it is said, was expected later in the day.
 The purpose of this visit by Judge Parker, as well as the others which are expected to follow, is to meet those persons with whom he desires to con fer, or who wish to consult with him. On one of the trips it Is believed the democratic nominee will have talk with former President Cleveland.

ALL IS QUIET

.Mukden, Wednesday, Sept 14.-EN- erything is quiet here. The Japanese have retired southward and it is even reported that they have evacuated Yentai. The belief prevails here that the lull may continue for several weeks. Stirring incidents at the bat tie of Ldaoyang are the sole topics among the officers and soldiers here. Heroic feats are recounted and the des- perate nature of the Japanese charges south of Liaoyang and their incredible advance, repeatedly sover the dead bodies of their comrades, Ars constant ly alluded to. The Russians also made |several bayonet charges, among the most brilliant being that of the Nor shansk regiment, headed by its wound ed colonel The youthfulness of the Japanese soldiers surprised the Rusi sians. Some of them are not moro than IS years old
 The reports that the JapaneseI bol, stered mp their courage with intoxi- cants are cIassed as nonsense, the best evidence to the contrary being the re markable endurance they displayed.
