kuropatkIn. Has Laid Plans.

Liao Yang, Saturday, August 6.-CDe- iayed)-General Kuropatkin is ready to defeat the Jepanese plan for cutting off Liao Yang. The Japanese forces are concentrated in three groups-the first at 5imoucheng, Haicheng and New Chwang; the second threatening Eiandiansan and Liao Yang, and the third threatening Sikseyan. Liao Yang and Mukden. Ac- cordiag to Chinese reports the Japanese are massing in the direction of Siamatsze, evidently flanking Liao Yang and a strong column is ascending the Liao val ley from New Chwang, also for the pur- pose of Ranking Liao Yang.
 A reliable Chinese merchant declares this column including 10000 Chinese and Japanese subjects from the Island of Formosa. This most unwelcome develop ment may induce other Chinese to join the Japanese. It Is hard to tell a For mosan from Manchurian.

Sensational Rumors AfIoat.

London August 10.-The only additional war news appearing in the London news papers this morning takes the form of sensational rumors.
 For instance, it is reported from Shang- hai that the Russians are retreating northward from Anshanshan.
 The Daily Telegraph's Che Foo corre- spondent reports that a great land and sea fight occurred at Port Arthur on Au- gust s, and that the Japanese were re- peatedly repulsed. Over thousand Rms sans were killed. the correspondent says
 The Russian troops have now been re- lnforced by the civilians who remained at Port Arthur.
 The correspondent of the Daily Mail at Koupangtse. cabling under date of Au- gust S. states that 2Co0 coolies are working on the new Japanese base at New Chwang, where the greatest activity pre- vails. The Japanese are landing supplies md are building light railway The Tolxio correspondent of the Times says he learns on the best authority that there is no truth whatever in the Russian rumors of Japanese reverses with heavy losses It Port Arthur.

Rains Will Not Bother.

Although it now seems improbable that anything can prevent Japanese attack Ion Liao Yang in view of the presence of heavy rains. the hope is expressed there that the elements may again prove to be Russias allies just as they did in 1872 The prospect of rains heavy enough to arrest military operations is not likely, however, ais the time for the rainy season is now past.
 There is an unconhrmed rumor that Lieutenant General Linevitch Is bringing large forces to Mul1den to reinforce Gen. eral Kuropatkin. General Linevitchs troops are stationed around Vladivostock, and it is doubtful if they could arrive at Liao Yang in time.
 The Associated Press, however, hears on good authority that Viceroy- Alexieff Is still at Liao Yang.

Must Consider the People.

'In figuring upon the probabilities of the election in Illinois you must take in consideration the class of people who make up the army of voters. There is an enormous population in Illinois of foreign birth. As a rule these men have been made republicans by being told that the tariff would keep up their incomes, and that if the democrats should get in power they would get 50-cent dollar.
 Now they are beginning to realize that the high protective tariff is of more ser vice to those great monopolizing corpor- ations that are expressing them than to any one else. They no longer fear the 50- cent dollar. That Is matter of the past They are looking at the political situa- tion in a way entirely different from that of the Last.

JONES BELIEVES
 PARKER WILL w N Former Chairman Says Signs
 Are Favorable ILLINOIS IS FOR PARKER Representative Enrich Says the State Will Be Carried By Democrats
 By Majority Exceeding
 That of 1892.
ILLINOIS IS FOR PARKER

Washington, August 9.--ISpeclal) )--Sena- tor Jones of AFlsansas. former chairman of the democratic national committee, Representative Martin Enrich of Chica- go, Representative Jones of Virginia, Rep resentative Humphreys of Mississippi and MT. s. w. Walker, who is making the race for congress against Representative Dayton of West Virginia, were callers at democratic headquarters here today.
 Senator Jones has just returned from a trip to New York. He believes the dem ocrats are certain to carry the state.
 T believe, said he, that Parker will be elected. His candidacy has brought to the support of the party elements which have not heretofore supported the ticket. The Bryan men can be depended upon to cast their votes for the nominees and, in my judgment, when the result of the election is known the electoral vote will be very much on the same lines as 1t was in 1s92''
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-08-10

"I expect to see Illinois go democratic next November by larger majority than that by which the state was carried in 1892, said Representative Enrich.
 Then we carried the state by 27,0OO. Our majority next November will be con siderably larger than that"
 What are the influences that are work ing in favor of Parker in Illinois?" was asked.
 Among what may be termed the mid dle class of people there Is feeling that a change in the administration and in congress would be beneficial to the soun- try" He replied: The feeling that young men lack any fair chance in entering business, and that small dealers are at the mercy of the big corporations and trusts Is, think responsible for much of the desire to have a change in the ad- ministratIon of affairs.

Dayton was elected two years ago by about twelve hundred majority out of a total of about forty thousand votes. MT. Walker is counting upon big demo- cratic gains and an increased vote.
