members of the Brooklyn Democratic
Club and of the Kings county Democ-

the candidate and Mrs. Parker on the
broad veranda. Daniel Moynahan.
chairman of the delegation, made an
address pleding the efforts of it's mem
bers to the furtherance of Judge Par

Judge Parker replied in a few words.
expressing thanks for the assurances
of support
After the speeches Mr.. Moynahan
introduced the entire party and Judge
Parker presented them to Mrs. Par
ker and her sister, Miss Schoon-
maker.
The incident of greatest interest
was the meeting of Judge Parker and
Frederick w. Hmrichs, who opposed
Judge Parkers nomination, which was
extremely cordial. Afterwards Mr..
Hinrichs said: Judge Parker is
charming gentleman and a man of
force. L may perhaps with propriety
give you little insight into his char
acter by showing you note which
the judge wrote to me a few weeks
after I spoke to the Cooper Union au-
dience in criticism of his silence. This
letter came to me unsolicited. 1 had
dropped a chance remark somewhere
to a reporter that esteemed the Judge
highly and would be glad to support
him, if he cared to have me. This re-
mark must have appeared somewhere
in the papers and it must have found
the judges eye. Without the slight
est hesitation he wrote to me a cor
! dial unaffected and manly letter which
1 shall always treasure.
THE letter was as follows:
My Dear Hinrichs: OF course I
wish your support, but as I have not
yet been notified you will, of course,
treat this letter as confidential for the
present. I find no fault whatever with
those who thought the party could do
better. Sometime I shall hope to have
talk with you, and then if you feel
that the cause is worthy of your eff
forts, I shall hope that you will take
that active part for which your tall
ents and your honesty so we'll fit
you

SAYS JAPS WILL SOON
HAVE RUSSIAN SHIPS.

Tsingtau, Aug. 2O.-The Japanese
protected cruiser Yaeyama to-day land
ed here Maj Hoffman. the German mill
itary attache who was at Port Arthur.
The major left the fortress in a junk,
at the German Emperor's orders. The
Japanese cruiser picked him up thirty
miles out and. it is reported, confscated
his papers. Maj. Hoffman's personal
baggage was left on the junk.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press here was received on board the
Yaeyama by Capt. Dishiyama. The
latter. however, was not disposed to
talk OF the war, beyond saying that
the Japanese have been successful in
the recent fights off Port Arthur. He
further declared that they expected
to have the Russian warships now at
Port Arthur in their hands in a day or
two.

JAPAN'S VIEWS UPON
CHINESE NEUTRALITY.

Toxic, Aug. 20, p. m.-The Japanese
ciated Press statement defining its
attitude in the capture of the Rye
shitelni and declaring it's position on
the entire question of Chinese neu-
trality, which says:
THE japanese government held that
China's neutrality is imperfect and ap-
plicable only to those places which are
not occupied by the armed forces of
either belligerent, and Russia cannot
escape the consequences of an unsuc-
cessful war by moving it's army or
navy into those portions of China
which by arrangement had been made
conditionally neutral. A Russian war
ship from Port Arthur sought in the
harbor of Che Foo asylum from at
tack which her home port had ceased
to afford her. In taking that step she
was guilty of breach of the neu-
trality of China as established by the
agreement of belligerents, and Japan
was fully justified in regarding the
harbor of Che Foo as belligerent so
far as the incident in question is con-
cerned. With the termination of the
incident the neutrality of the port was
revived. The action taken by Japan
at Che Foo was direct natural con-
sequence of Russia's disregard of her
engagement.
"The Japanese government has no
intention of disregarding China's neu-
trality so long as it is respected by Rus
sia, but they cannot consent that Rus
sian warships, as a result of broken
engagement and a violated neutrality,
shall unchallenged find in the harbors
of China safe refuge from capture or
destruction.
"The statement of the commander of
the Ryeshitelni that his ship was dis
armed upon arrival at Che Foo is un-
true. The vessel was fully armed and
manned when visited"

Tamerlane had seized Damascus, his
eastern capital, and instead Of march
ing on Rome the sultan moved east
ward, was defeated by Tamerlane,
captured and, according to some his
torians, was placed like a wild beast in
a cage. The expedition Of Alexander
halted Asiatic aggression.
''The crusadeS prevented other orr
entail incursions. But I cite these
historic incidents to show that it has
been hard to keep the Asiatics out of
Europe. I sympathize with Russia
in this contest not because l admire
her policy or despotism, but because 1
believe that she is an instrument in
the hands of God to prevent the tre-
mendous expansion Of the yellow peril,
which would be a fearful menace If
Japan had her way in China. The
Russian czar has attempted to reform
bis people. He freed the serfs, he

DIFFICULT PROBLEM.
''He has a difficult problem to solve
and must proceed slowly. 1t is Ger.
tain that George Kennon and English

or lied about her. She has been ma
ligned in literature just as the north

our own country, and educated a gen.
GRAFTON to hate this section and when
an opportunity occurred to invade and
desolate it. We prate of Russian bar
barism. but if greater and more
brutal barbarism than the recon
struction' Of the South was ever per-
petrated, 1 am not aware Of it, and If
any much more internal treatment
exists than that we did in the Philip

the Bible tells US, is more wicked
than the heart of man. and only the
Pharisee proclaims l am holier than
thou believe also that China is to
be exploited and her ancient wall OF
prejudice and torpor broken down, Ii
is better that this should be done by
a Christian nation, than by Pagan
atheistic Orientals like the Japanese,
so that the other prophecy may be
fulfilled of the SONS of Japhet dwell
ing in the tents of Shem.
However, have said more than l
intended. At any rate, l have at

battle of Chemulpo, is graduate OF

NOW, to be fair, if there was any ex-

two cruisers who refused to surren-

ly superior Japanese fleet. They
fought their ships until the vessels
began to sink, then they took to the
water and were taken abUard foreign
