thusiastic audiences greeted Judge

State in the campaign and several
other places through which his special

promptu welcomes. The principle
speech of the trip was in this city to-
nISht. The other receptions were
held in Bridgeport, New Haven, and
Merlden, where an address was made
from the rear end of the train. This
speech dealt with the question of
trusts and the candidate attempted to
Tefute the charge that the Standard
OIi Company is the financial sponsor
OF the Democratic party and charged
that the company'S interests are with
the Republican party.
The meeting in this city was one of
the greatest Of the campaign in this
State.
Judge Parker was given a warm
welcome from the moment he reached
the city. All entrances We're blocked
by the time the candidate was driven
to the opera house and admittance
was obtained with the greatest diff

receptions after each of his meetings
and shook hands during the day and
evening with several thousand people.

of the town at their mercy
The last assault has gained for

The Japanese calculate that If the

will be capable of prolonging the

hope of continuing the struggle. Long
before the second Pacific squadron ar
rives in the Pacific, the Japanese flag,
it is now believed, will wave over the

This will end Viceroy Alexieff's s
dream of an uncomfortable city.
The Japanese have not occupied
the main forts and highest points of
the east hill, but they occupv in over

will enable them to drive the Russians
back whenever they desire.
When the Japanese occupy the east

and record of the Democratic and Re-

He contrasted the two attempts of
the latter to rule the State with the
gratifying record of the Democratic
party
In burning words he told what his
party proposed to do saying he would
stand by the homes, schools ana

In scathing terms he denounced
Roosevelt and Spencer Blackburn, and
was rOundly applauded when the
names of Parker and Newland were
mentioned.
Mr.. Glenn took special pains to ex-
plain the many advantages of the
Watts law, which he considered of in
c&lculablc value to the State
He also explained his views on edu-
cational matters, saying the negro
should be taught useful trades rather
than the learned professions.
The great barbecue was a success
in every respect. 1t is the opinion
of old party leaders that Rowan win
give a Democratic majority of two
thousand and that the Eighth Congress

same for Newland, the Democratic
nominee.

COMBES' MINISTRY
ABOUT TO CRUMBLE
SITUATION IN FRANCE HAS BEEN
GROWING PRECARIOUS AS A RE-
SUIT OF THE RECENT PARLIA-
MENTARY DISCUSSIONS.

Paris, March 19.-It is known beyond
question that the situation of the Combes
ministry is gradually becoming preearious
as result of its recent parliamentary re-
verses. 1t is not thought that any i'm
mediate crisis will occur, but even the
best informed in government quarters de-
scribe the ministry as gradually crumbling
away. Some of the recent majorities have
been below the traditional twenty, which
is the limit of safety
The gradual sapping of NJ Combes
strength is not due to the pending law
suppressing all forms of congregational
teaching, as his majoritles have been
steadily maintained on that question but
the difficulties are mainly due to socialist
measures for workingmen's pensions and
employment agencies 1t is said he will
be able TO pass the law or congregations
about Easter, and with this principal
work accomplished, he will not wish to
remain in office.
The names of NJ Millerand and NJ
Etienne are the most often mentioned In
connection with the possible re-organiza-
ton of the ministry. There is little doubt
that Foreign Minister Delcasse will re-
main as he is. as he is thought to be the
strongest man of the present ministry and
his recent treaty achievements are re-
garded as placing him among the first
statesmen of contemporary France.
