Chefoo, Nov. 15.-The Russian
torpedo. boat destroyer Ratstoropo-
ny put into this harbor this morn
ing. Firing was heard half an hour
before she entered the harbor. A
snow storm and high wind was pre-
vailing at the time, and it is be-
lieved that the Russian vessel, un-
der cover of the storm, made an at
tempt to escape from Port Arthur.
The correspondent of the Associat-
ed Press succeeded in reaching the
destroyer after she arrived here,
but he was not allowed to board
her. The captain of the Chinese
cruiser Hal Yung was the first per.
son to go on board. He held briet
conference with her commander, af'
ter which the Ratstoropony came
further in the stream and anchor.
ed in the same spot that the de-
stroyer Ryeshitelni did last August
before she was cut out by the Jap
anese.
It is reported that a Japanes,
torpedo-boat destroyer has beer
seen outside, watching the move
ments of the Russian vessel.

Headquarters of the Third jap
anese Army Before Port Arthur,
New. 15.-It is reported that q
wound received by General Stoes-
sci has necessitated his confinement
in a hospital; that he refuses to re-
linqnish the command Of the garri-
son, and that he has issued orders
to the troops to die at their posts
rather than surrender.
It is said that the spirit of the
Russians has been damaged by con.
tinuous work, the lack of supplies
and the hopelessness Of their ability
to make any successful defense of
the fortress. It is said further that
many of the Russian soldiers are
ready to surrender, but that they
are kept at their posts by officers
who threaten them with revolvers,
and that several soldiers who are
suspected OF a desire TO desert have
been shot as warning to Other
would-be deserters.

Democratic Triafnp.

The Democratic party processes a
most sacred reverence for the consti-
tuition, yet by nominating an octogen-
arian for vice president it has shown
utter Disregard for the provision OF the
constitution which, In case Of the
death or inability Of the president, de-
wolves his duties upon the vice presi-
dent. No party has right to rifle
with great public interests In that
manner.

( Perhaps the policy Of protection
has made business prosperity more

a SIGN OF PROSPERITY

There is no better criterion Of gen
eral prosperity than the postal bust
ness. When times are good the postal
revenue increases, and vice versa. The
report Of the postmaster general shows
that for the year ending July /, 1895,
the receipts from postal revenue were
SIC. III 600. For the year ending July
!. 1902, they were $119,958, 229, an
increase Of 81 per cent. during seven
years Of continuous Republican rule.
During the year ending July i, 1895,
the receipts from the money order
business were 1912, o3S; for the year
ending July !, 1902, they were ST.
889, SIT, an increase Of 1873 per cent
during seven years OF Republican pros
5perity. 6
The postmaster general In his an
nual report for 1902 said: The In
crease In the postal revenues attests
the wonderful prosperity of the peo-
pie and the activity Of business inter-
5ests throughout the county, 1t
would not have been proper for the
postmaster general In an official re-
port to attribute this wonderful pros
perity In 1902 to the operation Of the
Dingley tariff law and other Republi-
can measures, but such was the fact.

mean that the exports Of farm prod

TO CREATE NEW STATE.

The proposal to create a new state
out of north Idaho and eastern Wash
ington is growing in favor. The
Charleston Republican endorses the
move in the following editorial:
''Perhaps the action of the repub
lican state convention in ignoring the
interests of eastern Washington may
not turn out to be an unmixed evil. The
determined efforts of the party manip
uators to wipe this section off the po-
litical map result in actual good to
this gerat and growing section. 1t is
bound to more effectually unite all the
counties east of the mountains ana

they are not found standing together

All Of this agitation more clearly
than ever demonstrates that the inter-

REPUBLICAN FIGHT IN ILLINOIS

The outlook for the republicans OF
Illinois is almost as gloomy as that
for their warning brethren in Wiscon-
sin. After balloting fifty-nine times
for governor during a ninedays' ses-
sion, the Illinois republican state con-
ventiOn deSpaired of breaking the
deadlock and adjourned to the 31st
inst Governor Yates, who is the son
of the old war governor, led in the bal
loting. and his followers appear to be
as devoted as the supporters of Cen
eral Grant in the national convention
of 1880 For some reason, not clearly
explained the Roosevelt administra ton
is opposed to the nomination of Yates
and the federal brigade of the state is
doing it's best to down him. If Yates
should be beaten his supporters will
not feel very friendly toward Roose-
Welt and their disaffectiOn may give
the state to his democratic opponent.
In 1892 the democrats carried both H.
linOis and Wisconsin, and it is pos
sible that history may repeat itself in
that respect this year.

petuS and now, people who We're form
inclined to strongly favor it.
In speaking of the action of the
| convention in thus SO completely ig-
| noring US, one of Spokane's leading
citizens thus sizes up the situation:
L think the only salution now is to
work for new state. The interests
| of the coast and of eastern Washington
| are entirely different, and always will
be. We can never agree, and, as the
| ington will always be left. l think the
| time is ripe to agitate for new state
| composed of eastern Washington and
northern Idaho. This sentiment is
growing and spreading throughout all
| this inland portion of the great COM
| monwealth of Washington with Won
derful rapidity.'
In this connection it may not be
amiss to note that Spokane, by the
gallant stand her delegates took at the
now memorable convention, when, in
spite of the temptation to sde-step
and capture some of the fat offices,
her representatives stood pat for
principle, and We're not out for plum
der covered herself with glory.
Hon. George w. r. Peaslee, Asotin
county's able representative in the
state legislature, voiced this view of
the matter, when, in published inter-
view, at Spokane the other day, he
said: There never was a time when
we could have gotten anything in the
form. While the Spokane committee
did all it could for local candidates,
had they ever conceded this one point
it would have alienated all eastern
Washington from Spokane county. AS
things now stand, Spokane has created
confidence throughout the eastern sec
ton of the state that will rebound to
her benefit in the future
IF the time is ripe for considering
the important move of forming a new
state, let it be done decently, and in
order. There is no need of undue
haste, but the matter should be care
fully considered. Let the pros and
cons have due weight, and if, after
weighing the evidence it be found eX-
pedient to withdraw and form a new
member in the galaxy of states, we
believe the people of the sections
named will readily endorse and act
upon the suggestion. Certain it is,
that the people hereabouts are doing
some thinking, in the light of recent
developments an dthey will be fOnud
ready to act for their own best inter-
ests when the opportune time has ar

EARLY DEMOCRATIC STATE CON
NENTION.

Chairman Goodwin has called a meet
ing of the democratic state committees
at Seattle June 18th to fix the date
Of the state nominating convention. 1t
is probable that an early convention
will be called to meet soon after the
adjournment of the national convention
at St. Louis. Ordinarily democratss
have preferred a September cOnven-
ton and they would not favor an ear
lier date this year We're it not for the
peculiar conditions arising from the
EARLY republican state convention.
Thousands of republican voters are in
open revolt against their state ticket
and in order to give them something
tangible to support it is argued that
the democratic platform and ticket
should be placed before the people
while the tide of republican disaffec-
ton is still at it's height. Undoubtedly
if both parties could agree on the
proposition it would be much better if
neither ticket was placed in the field
before September as a six weeks or
two months campaign is long enough,
but the republicans having held their
convention six months before the cleo
ton. the democrats are forced to pre-
pare for the battle.
