await ElGiliOllGiltCliNss
Yin KOw, March 15.-The local Rus
sian authorities are apparently in
censed and manifestly much annoyed
at the solicitous inquiries of the COM
manders of foreign gunboats regard
ing the projected blocking of the Lao
river before the arrival of the Japa-
nese, which latter event is regarded as
a foregone conclusion. Although the
blocking Of the Lao and also the de-
fense of the settlement and native
town are regarded as unattainahle it
is certain that a disposition of guns
has been made and a defense plan has
already been arranged. The arrival
of General Kondratovitch a few days
ago. however. threatened to cause the
abandonment of the original inten-
tion.
The best Russian information OBJ
tainable at Port Arthur and New
chwang admits the governments in
tention to fall back indefinitely until
it can complete the mobilization OF
100000 troops for the purpose of as
saulting and opposing the Japanese
and probably 100000 more to oppose
the Chinese.
The same opinion asserts that Ad
miral Makaroff will fight hard. He
is determined to weaken the enemy a
any cost, and make the operation o
the Baltic sea fleet in the Far Eas
feasible. though it may be necessar!
to fight without the Pallada, Care
witch and Retvizan, which. it is ad
mitted. cannot be fully repaired with
in six months. On account Of the un
certainty of successfully constructing
a mud dock IN which to repair tn
Czarevitch and the Retvizan, nava
experts allow year for the work.

PLATFORM
OF the
REPUBLICAN PARTY OF WHITE
PINE COUNTY.

The Republican Party of White
Pine County, Nevada, in Con-
vention assembled, adopt the fol-
lowing platform:
We endorse the platform and
nominees of the National Repub-
lican Party, and the nominees
and platform of the Winnemucca
| Republican Convention.
II.
We especially endorse the fol-
lowing plank in the Republican
State Platform, upon capital and
labor:
1--WE submit the labor record
of the Republican party against
the professions of Democracy.
Republicanism has built up a
tariff wall about this country
which gives the American mar
kets to the products of American
labor. It has in every State
where in power enacted legisla
ton favoring shorter hours and
sanitary conditions of labor, pro-
hibited child labor, and passed
stringent laws for the safe
guarding of the life and limb of
employees. 1t has under Theodore
Roosevelt substituted arbitration,
as in the coal strike, for the bull
let and bayonet of the last Demo
cratic administration in it's settle
ment of the Pullman strike.
Promising little, performing
much, it has been the true and
tried friend of both capital and
labor, whom it holds as equal and
concordant parts of the nations
Industrial economy. The Repub
lican party will not support capt.
tai in oppression nor labor in
violence. 1t recognizes organized
labor as the unity of industrial
action, striving to secure a more
equitable distribution of the
fruits of industry. 1t is the
trusted ally of both capital and
labor; for capital in the things
which are essential to the sue
cessful government of enter
prises, and with labor in it's cru
sade for reasonable hours at the
highest wages consistent with
successful conduct of business.
In this State it favors eight
hours labor upon all public works
and as the legal work day in
mines, quartz mills and shelters,
and will uphold legislation Civ
ing it proper and equitable force
and effect"
III.
We charge those who intend to
vote for Parker and Davis, and
who are themselves seeking of
fee by willy catering to the labor
vote, with insincerity; inasmuch
as Theodore Roosevelt proved
