with no guns OF the enemy any longer

bombardment was designed to prepare
the way for an infantry assault by
shattering tho nerves and breaking

the time required for the Japanese to
storm the works and position and to
occupy the whole line from end to end.

Views Of Military Experts.

London. May 2.-Generai Kuroki's
Official dispatches. specially tcle'
graphed in full from Toxic. give n
clear picture OF the sequence OF events
though the decisive result was not
reached till Sunday morning. about
n. m.
The fighting appears to have been
carried on with only short intermis-
sion ever since Tuesday. On the lat
ter day the guards division made n
successful attack on one OF the Islands
in the Yalu in order to enable the
bridge to be constructed from the
mainland on the left or Japanese bank
SO rs to shorten the passage to the fur
ther bank. Part of the second division
was also placed on this island to be
ready to reinforce guards as soon as
the further bank had been taken.
A long preliminary artillery duel. ac-
cording to n British generals reading
ot the dispatches. now seems to have
taken place, during which the Rus
slams. firing at great range. did con-
siderable mischief both to the works
which were being carried on on the
island and on the mainland.
The Russians appear to have been
densely massed. for We are told that
10000 OF the men were concentrated
on 1Our miles vi ETouHu. lHis' eheh'
was doubtless the situation.
On Sunday morning at dawn the
Russian artillery fire completely sub
dued every point of vantage and
found the Russian works occupied by
well trained skirmishing forces of the
Japanese, so that no Russian could
show mis- head above the works with
out being shot, and every Russian OIL
Ger who showed himself in order to
encourage his men being picked Off.
Meanwhile the fire was being thus
kent under. The japanese army In
increasing numbers crossing on the
doomeu "impregnable defenses.' In
particular they were creeping round to
the north so as to be able to seize the
commanding ground of the present ar
tillery. from whence to enfilade tne
defenses and throw their terrible
shells into the masses of crowded Rus-
SLAMS.
The final report from General hnr.
oki gives the rapid end on Sunday. AT
daybreak on Sunday morning the ar
tiliery opened on Chiu Tien Cheng. ana
about s a. m. the guns were able TO get
within decisive range OF the place
from the high ground on the north.

These investigations show the impor.

ir~ equal, heavier brain implies great

finds that persons employed in indus,
tries where the nourishment Of the

muscular exercise slight, show, as a
rule lighter brains than do more favor
ably circur' $tanced persons.
Blacksmit's and metal workers In

The Democratic vote at the COM

The Democratic vote at the COM
ing election is going to be mater
tally swelled by those gold Demo-
Gratis who return to the party Tor
the first time since they refused
to swallow Bryan and Organism
in the campaign of 1896. And this
fact is giving the Republicans no
little concern. 1t has been estl-
mated by some that the gold Dem
ocrats elected Mckinley in 1896,
and Mckinley was a far more &C
,ceptable candidate to the country
at large than the present nominee
of the Republicans. II this asser-
ton be correct it would seem to
be reasonable to expect the gold
Democrats to again turn the tide
this year, but turn it to the Demo-
Gratis instead of the Republican
nominee. Grover Cleveland, as
evidenced by his recent letter pub
lished, indicates his belief that the
Democratic party will reunite for
the campaign this year and that
the gold Democrats will one and
all return to support Parker. And
Cleveland is a man who knows
whereof he speaks. The Judg-
ment of such a successful and ex-
perienced politician is worth a
thousand opinions Of men OF less
experience and more faulty judy
ment. 1t is probably true that
some men who voted for Bryan IN
his two campaigns, especially Sill
yer Republicans, will desert Park
er and vote for Roosevelt, but
these men will be greatly outnum-
bered by the gold Democrats, who
will support the Democratic noml-
nee. In this exchange the Demo-
Gratis will have far the better OF
the bargain. And what is more
assuring, the gold Democrats are
most abundant in New York and
other Eastern States that will be
close this year, whereas the ma
jority of the silver Republicans
are found in States that are surely
Republican, and where their votes
can not influence the result one
way or the other.
