A General War Possible.

That the international situation
has become dangerous one is now
admitted in diplomatic circles. Eng
land has assisted her ally, Portugal,
to arm her troops. New rifles have
just been distributed among the
Portuguese troops. The artillery
branch of the Portuguese service has
also been equipped with new field
artillery of the most approved fash
ion. A representative of the Ger
man manufacturing firm is now at
Lisbon instructing the artillery of
flcers in the management of the new
guns. Coast defenses are being over
hauled in Lisbon, Fayal and Lagos.
which might serve as naval stations
in the event of war. The Neither
lands are being aroused. kilograms
from Amsterdam assert that the ar
rangements have now been complet-
ed for the prompt mobilization of the
Dutch army at short notice. All
leave has been refused officers, and
those officers absent have been re-
called. In the meantime, Austria
may intervene in behalf of Russia, in
the Balkans. Advance orders have
been issued for the mobilization of
the army. To add to the dangers,
France has been disposed to inter
fere in behalf of Russia in the East,
owing to the fact that French citi-
zens hold no less than 5000. 900, 600
of Russian bonds. England has given
both Russia and Germany to under
stand that she will resent any at
tempted interference by any other
nation in the Russian-Japanese situa-

OPPORTUNITIES
For Young Men in Philippine
Islands.

Secretary of War William Fl. Taft,
who is q graduate OF Yale in the class
OF 1878, says in a letter to the Yale
News that exceptional opportunities
present themselves to college men in
the Philippines Lucrative law prac-
tices are to be built up, and engineers
are in great demand Ss supervisors
OF as employees in the Engineering
bureau of the General Government.
For the man who goes to the is
lands the Secretary adds, ''gets into
the service and does not sit up nights
thi mixing about more salary, but
ma kes himself useful and does things,
there is no place in the world,
think, where he can count on earlier
promotion. The American who goes
there and expects to make success
must, above all, be patient and kind
1y toward the Filipino He also de-
ciared that stenOgraphers, telegraph
operators and bOOkkeepers are in de-
mand.

Anti-Rooseyelt Move.

The attempt to have the Central
Committee appoint the delegates to
the Congressional Convention, we
understand was so that a solid anti
Roosevelt delegation could be picked
out. 1t would be hard TO find enough
anti-Roosevelt Republicans in the
co unity TO fill the delegation. There
seems to be an organized movement
in the northwest to the same effect.
In the Lima District the Committee
attempted to disfranchise several
thousand Republicans by announcing
that each precinct should have a
delegate instead of basing the rep
resentation on the number of Repub-
hcan votes cast. By this means Al
len and Darke counties which cast
1852 Republican votes in 1908 were
only given. Il delegates, while Mer-
Ger, Shelby and Auglaize counties
which only cast $3.50 votes were
given 6s delegates. The anti-Roose.
Eelt machine committee also an
nounced that,
The delegates tOthe said Congress
sional Convention may be selected by
the Executive Committee of each
county, or by the delegate cOnven,
tion, at the discretion of the resi-
dent member of the Congressional
Committee.
This is pretty nearly the same that
was fought for by cur Committee
man, and in line with the first an.
nouncement that the Central Com,
mittee would appoint the delegates
But they know that Logan county
will not stand for such disfranchise
ment.

Roosevelt and New York.

The action of the New York State
committee, in adopting
by a unanamous vote a resolution
endorsing President Roosevelt for
nomination at the Chicago conven-
tion, was not of course, unexpected.
Nevertheless it will remove consider
able doubt and uncertainty, because
it gives assurance to the remainder
of the country that the movement
against Mr.. Roosevelt in New York
is of no force and effect.
About the only opposition there
has been to the President has devel-
oped in the metropolis, among mer
who have been against him because
of his attitude upon the trust ques
tion. The movement had its incep
tion in Wall street, and it has beer
confined to the precincts of that
great speculative mart. At one time
there was apprehension lest the Re
publican leaders in New York State
might listen to the detractors of thu
President, because there is usually
a disposition to believe that New
York City makes opinion for the re
mainder of the country upon politi
cal and other matters.
The men who control the affairs o
the Republican party in New Yorl
are wise enough, however, to kno'
that Roosevevelt is the only candi
date who can carry their State thi
year They know If he were defeat
ed for nomination and some othe
candidate taken in his place at tn
behest of Wall street, New York woul
be put in the Democratic colum
without question. The Presiden
had reason to expect the endorse
ment of his party in New York, an

DROPPED IT
Tried to Garry Off a Red Hot
Stove But Changed Their
Minds.
Had a Fine Plan to DiSfrdnChiSe
the Voters. But the Parrot
Talked Too Much.

Last Thursday, the little gang
that is trying to control the county
for its own benefit, announced that
the Republican Central Committee
would appoint the delegates to the
Congressional convention. Friday
morning the REPUBLICAN sounded
the warning and gave notice that
the day has passed for any Com
mittee to try to override the people,
in this county. Friday afternoon
the gang took it all back, said no
one had ever thought of such a
thing, and tried by inuendo to lay it
on Judge Dow.
In Thursdays paper it made the
announcement. In Fridays paper 1t
said ''soNE DAYS ago. il had inter
viewed Judge Dow and that he had
stated that he would oppose such
action. If they knew Judge Dow was
opposed to such action ''soStE DAYS
AGO why did they still say it would
be done
Their action even in interviewing
Jud ge Dow, as if he might be in. favor
of such unfair action, was an insult
to him, and their bungling attempt
to mirch him was pitiable-
On Saturday, some other member
of the gang pulled the string, and
the jumping jack said the committee
''never has favored such action and
and does not now"
On Thursday they said the conven-
tion would appoint the delegates.
On Friday they tried to hide behind
Judge Dow, and said the Committee
would not he asked to do so.
On Saturday they said the Com
mittee never has favored such ac-
tion, and does not now"
What a blessing that Sunday came
and checked the foot and mouth dis
ease, for no one could even guess
what .hey. would have said if they
had had another day of this continu
Gus foolishness-
The facts of the case are that the
G ang, to perpetuate themselves in
power; have tried to pin themselves
to Judge Dow's coat tail, and at their
first blunder tried to get behind him
When he would not have it they
swallowed their own words and are
hunting another scheme.

RuMoR OF MORE FIGHTING

st. Petersburg, Aug. 8.-Lieutenan,
General Stoessel, commanding the
Russian military forces at Port Arthur
In an undated dispatch to the EN-
peror, says:
Il am happy to report that the
troops repulsed all the Japanese at
tacks of July 26, ~ and %, with enor.
mouse losses.
"The garrison's enthusiasm was ex.
traordinary.
The feet assisted in the defense
by bombarding the Japanese flank
Our losses during the three days
were about 1,500 men, and 40 officers
killed or wounded.
According to statements of Chinese
and prisoners, the Japanese los as
many as 10000.
Their losses were SO great that the
enemy has not had time to remove
the dead and wounded"
A telegram from Chefoo, dated Aug,
Z, says that according to Chinese in
formation q fierce battle was fought
on the land side of Port Arthur Aug. 5.
The Japanese are reported to have
been repulsed with great loss, the kill
ed alone being estimated at 10000,
while the Russians lost about 1000.
The telegram says that General
Stoessel was personally in command
and that the conduct Of the Russian
troops was splendid.
