What is man but the great musl-

A LULL IN FIGHT
HosTILITIEs CEASE ON ACCOUNT
OF RAIN.
SEEMS LIKE RUSSIAN DEFEAT
New Disposition is Being Made OF
Forces on Both Sides and HOSTILE
ties Will Soon Be Resumed-eoth
Armies Have Chance to Breathe.

ST. PETERSBURG-For the mo-
ment heavy rains and impossible
roads have compelled a suspension OF
operations in Manchuria. There was
practically no fighting Wednesday.
There is evidence of new DISPOSE
ton Of tho forces on both sides. Gen
eral Kuropatkin is extending his right,
whether with a view to a turning
movement for the safety OF Lone Tree
hill, the importance of which point Is
fully realized by the Japanese, who
have attempted to retake 1t IN the
night attacks, or whether to meet and
thwart Japanese turning movement
from the west, has not yet developed.
The Japanese also appear to be shift
ing weight to the westward.
Yelled hints continue 10 arrive that
the Russians have recovered from the
blow inflicted last week by Field Mar
shall Oyama, and that General Kuro-
patkin is preparing to renew the strug-
gle as soon as the roads become dry.
Two Associated Press dispatches from
Mukden tonight mention reports that
the Japanese already are preparing to
retire and the war Office admits that
Kuropatkin's left has again moved
slightly forward, but there is no light
upon the movements of the Japanese
There is, indeed, an utter lack OF late
news from TOXIC and an enemy so re-
sourceful may really be preparing a
surprise movement instead OF a re-
treat, relieving the pressure on the
front with a view to accomplishing
something on the flank.
Many critics here continue to believe
that General Kuropatkin intends to re
turn to the line of the Hun river.
The enforced cessation of opera.
tons by the bad weather, if the Jap
anese offensive had really exhausted
itself, gives both armies a chance to
breathe and pull themselves together
and would seem to ensure as much
benefit to one side as to the other for
practical purposes. When operations
recommcnce they will assume an en-
tirely new phase, with new DISPOSE
tons and detectives. Practically last
weeks battle has ended and il goes
into history as Russian defeat.
When operations are resumed new
battle will begin.
The Japanese advance is ten miles
south of Mukden. The Russians have
built heavy defenses two miles south
of the Hun river where they are ex-
pected to make a stand. There ar no
natural defepses at that point.
The Japanese report that the battle
has been the most severe yet fought
on the plains, the Russian forces con-
sisting of the First army corps and
the Fifth and Sixth Siberian corps.
The only defenses were infantry
trenches which were hastily made.
Maps captured by the Japanese
show that the Russians had arranged
for series of retreats, and these
maps indicated where stands were to
be made. This accounts for the SLOW
ness of the advance of the Japanese
and their failure to cut off the Rus
sian retreat, which was conducted
with great skill. Ravines and gullies
met with by the Japanese INSTRUCTED
the advance.

WAR WILL BE PROSECUTED.
All Offers Of Peace Would Be Re

WASHlNGTON-Coun: Cassini, the

phasis what he has had occasion to

the war to the end and all offers of
peace at this time must be rejected \"

JUDGE PARKER AT HOME.
Follows Closely the Convention Doings
but Is Calm and Cool.

Kingston, N. Y, July 6.-To see Judge
Alton Il. Parker at his beautiful nome
"ROsemont' on the bank of the Hud-
son, n mile east Of EsOpus station one
would little imagine him personally
interested in the outcome of the nation
al convention Of n great political party,
which within "a hours will i'm all prob
ability, nominate him for the Pres1-
dency of the United States.
He sat upon the wide veranda, this
afternoon, and chatted with his usual
freedom and cordiality upon any sub
ject save that of his own candidacy.
To that subject he never even remotely
refers and by no verbal strategy can
he be entrappod into the slightest al
fusion to it. He has rather pointedly
intimated indeed, that his silence on
the subject would be broken only upon
the occasion of his formal and official
notification of his nOminatiOnj Through
his secretary, Arthur McCausland. he
kept more or less i'm touch with events
AZ st. Louis, today, by the long dis
lance phone hut in no respect varied
the routine of his quiet life as coun-
try gentleman.
Judge Parkers retirement received
it's first shock when ut 6.30 o'clock, this
morning, an enterprising newspaper
photographer caught him at his early
morning swim, but the photographer
failed to convince Judge Parker of the
proprety of his errand and the threat
ened photograph was not taken.
Except for the increasing number OF
newspaper men there has been no no.
ticeab!e change in the quiet of Esopus
life as no other observers have APP
peared. No great number of kilograms
have been received by the judge. and
his mail which is ordinarily large, has
not greatly increased.
He takes close personal interest in
the details of his farm and interrupted
his work in that direction. today, only
for Il drive in the morning with three
friends and for short horseback ride,
this evening.
1t is understood here, tonight, that
while Judge Parker has no intention of
breaking silence until formally notified
of his nomination, he has expressed to
VIM. Sheehan his desire that in the
event of his nomination, the notification
shall take place at a very early date,
even within n fortnight.
