OPPOSES BIG BATTLE.

St Petersburg, July d2:50 D. m. )- The military critic of the Russ. who usually is well informed, strongly op- poses the idea of a big battle before the end of the rainy season. He ex- presses the opinion that the Japanese only wish now to assure possession of the Liao Tung peninsula and that their present objective is to capture Kali Chou, which would compel the evacu- ation of New Chwang and permit land- ,ings on the west coast.
 The critic considers the movements of the Japanese north, across the Fen Shui range, as being simply diversion to facilitate the taking of Kai- Chou, and he declares that Kai-Chou will not be surrendered without a fight. But, he adds, it will not Lave a decisive character. The critic further predicts that General Kuropatkin will adhere to his plan to withdraw northward to his main position at Iiao Yang and await the end of the rainy season. He seems to assume the success of the Japanese plans of a combination of the first and third Japanese armies, and the isolation of the peninsula.

SHOEMAKERS BUSY.
Factories Are Being Worked to Their
 Full Capacity.

New York, July 1.-Advices from sne- clal correspondents of the International Mercantile Agency indicate that hoot and shoe manufacturers still have more work than they can attend to- Most or the large factories are LID to their limit. Millinery has not been in so good demand this week. Hats and caps are showing up well and orders from country districts suggest in creased consumption of groceries and drug sundries. Soon as the Dresiden- flai campaign takes definite shape an element of uncertainty which has had important bearing upon the general business situation will be eliminated
 The south has become this week the brightest spot in the whole country so far as sustained trade and general con sumption is concerned. Texas reports a heavy business in retail buying at a period which is usually regarded as the dullest of the year. Chicago whole salefs are doing fair trade in general merchandise.
 PittsbTrrg for the first time in many weeks is becoming hopeful over the steel outlook Sellers are refusing to tie up at low prices, and while fur naces continue to go out of blast shfeWd observers expect revival of railroad business as soon as increased earnings, which are now becoming more pronounced, are effective. The feeling is general that the heavy pur- chasers of steel rails will be forced into the market before long through sheer necessity. Prices Of pig iron and bfl- lets are being shaded somewhat, but everything hinges on the rail situation, which is the strategic point in an out look that is complicated by some inter esting cross movements. The industry in general is picking up.
 Textile manufacturing s-still at low ebb with little prospect Of immediate improvement. In New England the shut down of milling interests is re- stricting consumption of general mer- chandise
 Crops are progressing splendidly in all sections, harvesting of winter wheat being we'll under way at Oklahoma, southern Kansas southern Missouri and southern Illinois. Too abundant rainfall did some damage in western Missouri and southern Illinois. The outlook for excellent yield of all grains is all that could be expected.

 TO SAVE HIS LIFE

While Theodore Hefter, a saloon keeper, of No 15 Hamburg avenue, Williamsburg, was at dinner last night, a piece of meat lodged in his throat and Ambulance Surgeon Lud- wig, of, the German hospital, had to cut the saloon-keeper's throat to save his life. The operation was success ful.
 Hefter was anxious last evening to get through his supper and his wife warned him that he was eating too fast. Finally he grew purple in the face and fell over on the floor. Some body telephoned to the German hospi- tai for an ambulance and when Dr Ludwig reached the saloon, Hefter seemed to be at the point of death. Dr Ludwig took out a sharp knife, slashed the saloon keepers throat and re- moved the meat, afterward inserting silver tube in the opening. Late last night Hefter was said to be out of danger.

PARKER
 FAVORITE But Better Man May
 Show Up.
Democrats Keeping Their Ears to the Ground
 Waller. the Ex-Governor. Mentioned in Connection With His Old Position.

some of the democrats of Waterbury Ieel confident that Judge Parker will
 De the democratic nominee for presi-
 dent and they think he will carry the state provided it is not loaded down With truck that nobody wants. There appears to be we'll founded rumor all through the state that in the event Of the nomiation of Parker, Thomas M.
 Waller will be the candidate for gov ernOr, and with this combination if is said that the democrats would give the republicans good run for their money. A prominent democrat said this after noon that everything points to the nomination of Parker, but he added that democrats should take 8 lesson from the opposition on matters of this kind and not commit themselves to any particular man until after the conven- tion. By acting on this plan, he said, nobody would have to take anything back and all could fall in behind the party's standard bearer as men should. With reference to Waller he was free to admit that he would make a rousing candidate but any other suitable man the party puts forward would please Alm just as we'll. So far things are pretty quiet among the democrats all over the state, but the republicans have gone into training and in some places considerable missionary work has been done The only thing now worrying the republican bosses is the fear that the goldbug labor scare will not amount to much in this campaign and that some trouble will be experienced in conducting side shows in the demo- cratic camp. Without these the jig would be up with the republican party.

NAVAL BATTLE IS ON.

Chefoo, July 1.-What should prove to be a decisive naval engagement was in progress at o'clock this afternoon between Chefoo and Port Arthur. The steamer Chefoo has arrived here and reported that she passed within 15 miles of the Japanese fleet, consisting Of two battleships and five cruisers, all actively engaged. The Russian fleet was not seen, but the distance of the Japanese fleet from land precludes the possibility of any attack on the land batteries. The captain of the Chefoo says he heard a terrific explo- sion, but was unable to discover whether a Japanese or Russian ship was affected. The battle confirms the Chinese report that only four of the large Russian warships were at Port Arthur last night.

KuRoPATKIN RETREATS

New Chwang, July LA telegram from German sources at Mukden re- ceived here yesterday evening says General Kuropatkin has decided not to fight at Ta-Tche-K Kiao or Hai-Cheng, but to retreat from Ta-Tche- Kiao, which movement was started June 2S and is well under way. Small detach- ments Of troops will, it is added stay south to stem the Japanese until the Russian retreat is in full swing. It is not believed here that the Russians will be able to reach Liao- Yang, as the Japanese control the passes, which would indicate that the Russian line of communication may be cut
 A Chinese runor is to the effect that 2;000 Mongolian troops engaged by Russia have been annihilated in battle. No credence is placed in the report.
 The crew of the torpedo boat destroy CT Lieutenant Burukoff. which ar rived here from Port Arthur June 29, say they left Port Arthur Tuesday night in fog and rain and near Hockey light got out of the course and ran aground on the Bittern shadows. near Helen bay. on the west coast of the peninsula. They got off in two hours. When the fog lifted several of the Jap- anese torpedo boat destroyers were seen coming toward the Lieutenant Burukof, which was saved only by her speed. She is said to be the feetest torpedo boat destroyer of the Russian navy.
 A boat which arrived here from Shanghai last night reported that a Japanese torpedo boat destroyer was outside the entrance Of the river, which may mean that she will come in and engage both the Lieutenant Buru- kof and the gunboat Sivouch.
 The rains are moderating.
