Mr.. FAIRBANks's LETTER,
A Clear and Effective Statement Of
Republican Principles.


Republican Principles.
Senator Fairbanks's letter OF accept.
ance is document which appeals direct
" to the business men and workers gen
orally. 1t states clearly some of the most
important, but perhaps not sufficiently
understood, tenets of the Republican
party in its conflict with Democracy.
In calling attention to the service done
to the entire country by the establish
ment Of the Bureau Of Commerce and
Labor. with special department to deal
with corporations. the Senator points out
the first real attempt by the government
to deal with the trust problem. He clear
ly sees that the regulation Of the great
combinations of capital by law is pos
sible. is necessary, and he shows the
consistent course Of the Republican party
III this regard.
As to our foreign policy Senator Fair.
banks rightly considers that we have
much to be proud Of in the firm. conser~
vative and thoroughly broad and Chris
tian policy which has been adhered ts
during the years Of Republican admins
tlation. The tremendous expansion in
our trade, our foreign interests and in
f!uence has been accomplished by peace
fnl methods, and no remote sign of war
has appeared upon our horizon in tho
years following the establishment OF new
National relations or our acquisition OF
vast territory in the far East.
In his enunciation OF the Republican
idea Of the desirability of closer trade
relations with our great neighbor, Can
ada. the candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency is peculiarly happy. He is plainly
for Il liberal movement for reciprocity
between this country and the people just
over the line to the north. He also
emphasizes the value Of the "open door"
secured for US in China, and promises q
continuance Of the benefits Of that re-
suit OF our recent foreign policy.
As whole, the letter OF the Vice Pres
| idential candidate is strong paper, ono
/ which commands respect and confidence.
Senator Fairbanks is meeting the Ameri-
can people face to face, from one end
of the country to the other in his very
lively campaign. 1t is well, however, to
have in hand his written opinions and
aspirations as a public man on the great
questions at issue at this moment.

RUSSIAN FLEET OFF KOREA.
MuscOvite Army Is Moving Southward
From Mukden.


From Mulxden.
LONDON, Feb. 5-The news that
Russia has already dispatched her re-
ply to Japan has not yet reached the
English newspapers. The most pessi-
mistic views are taken of the situation.
Reports are current that prominent
commercial houses having relations
with Japan have received private dis
patches intimating the belief that
rupture in relations between Russia
and Japan is imminent, but nothing or
an official character is obtainable, the
alarmist views of this morning being
based solely upon the reports of yes
terday of the sailing of the Russian
fleet from Port Arthur and the rumored
japanese move upon Korea, which are
repeated from different points in the
Far East.
The correspondent of the Daily Mail
at Chefu says a Russian fleet, COM
prising all the battleships excepting
the Sebastopol and six cruisers and
two destroyers, is cruising along the
coast of the peninsula.
The Seoul correspondent of the Daily
Mail says in a dispatch that Russian
army is moving south from Mukden,
while the correspondent of the same
paper at Port Arthur says that both
Russia and Japan have placed an enl-
barge upon coal shipments
A telegram received here from Copen-
hagen declares that eighteen foreign
steamships have just been chartered by
Russia to convey war material from
Odessa and .Libau to the Far East.
No confirmation of the alarming war
reports current here can be obtained DIT
the japanese legation and legation
official processes ignorance of any new
decision on the part of the Japanese
Government or fresh departures in the
negotiations. The official admits, how
ever, that the legation has received
official confirmation of the reports of
greatly increased Russian naval and
military activity in. Manchuria.
English correspondents in st. Pet
ersburg refer to an exceptional honor
which has been accorded the Ameri-
can press. The correspondent of the
Times in st. Petersburg, who consid-
ers war inevitable, declares that the
Cars hesitation has been overcome
and that Russia will make no conces-
sion. He says:
up to the present time not line
of information, or apparently a word
of inspiration, has been given the
Russian press on these serious nego-
tiations, although the American press
has been honored by the granting of
an audience by the Car to the repre-
sentative of a transatlantic news
agency"

Mistaking Him for Man Wanted
by Partisan Authorities.

PARIS. Feb. 4.-Inquiry concerning
the detention of Hurt and Ireland,
two Americans, at Nice, has brought
out the following facts:
On January 26 the police of Nice
arrested Hurt, considering him to be
a man named Hurst, who was wanted
by the Paris police. Ireland, on
hearing of this, went to identify Hurt
when the former was also held as an
accomplice. The United States con-
suIar office demanded proofs Of
Hurts identity. The authorities re-
piled that two days would be required
for this
Hurt and Ireland were brought be-
fore the examining magistrate at Nice
to-day. and their examination, which
was conducted in the presence of the
consular lawyer, resulted in establish
ing the fact that there were no specific
charges against them, and that their
original detention was due to the au-
thorities having mistaken Hurt for
the man Hurst.
The United States consulate imme-
diately urged the prefectorial officials
to liberate them.
