Three old battleships, the Navaran,
the Sissoi Velliky and the Alexander

are 20 old fashioned that they would
serve no other purpose than targets
for the Japanese.
In this condition Admilar Rozhdes-
tvensky admits that he will have to
stick to the Baltic, at least until SepA
tember, and his friends know that 10
regards II as hopeless even to get
ready by that time.
Rozhdestvensky is one of the best
Russian naval officers, and has had
considerable foreign experience a. ma

He knows too much Of his own and
foreign navies to attempt the impossi-

Even if the feet were ready, the
only possible device which would ad-
init Of its reaching the east would be
to use oil fuel, which Russia could get
in abundance from the Caucasus. This
fuel has been used by Russian steam
ers on the Caspian sea, and on the
eastern rivers, so presumably there
are engineers in Russia who under-
stand it.
An idea has begun to form in Rus
sian naval military circles, however.
that the available ships may be need
ed in the Baltic itself. II Port Arthur
falls and Kuropatkin is forced to re-
tire to Harbin the purpose of the war
20 far as Japan concerned will

II Russia refuses this about the only
thing remaining to be done would be
for the Japanese to carry the war into
Europe by sending q squadron Of bat-
tle.hips and cruisers to the Baltic. This
possibility is one which Russia has to
consider and prepare to meet when
navigation reopens next spring.

Mr.. Hin talked eloGuently OF the
personality Of Judge Nrker. He said
that In the course Of n conversation
with him about ten days ago the lat
ter said In reply to a question about
the kin .dof platform the democrats
should adopt, II am entirely willing
to leave that to the wisdom OF the
democratic party.

us to say we want TO win." said Mr.
Hill. I'VE have stood defeats in the
past and we can stand them again, IL
is true. This contest. for me, means
that I shall devote myself from now
until November to the campaign. I
shall work hard for whomsoever the
democrats nominate, but I think the
platform Is of the greatest import
snce, especially the gold standard
plank" Mr.. Hin was applauded at
the conclusion OF his speech.
Mr. Bryan replied at length and In
sisted that, in the face OF past declar-
ations, n gold plank would not alien
ate many thousands of democratic
voters. He said that when the cam
paign for Judge Parker was started
II was never expected that the party
was to be brought to a declaration
for the gold standard,

Daniel said:
He has reviled every man whom
any state has recommended for the
presidency and so far as I have been
able to learn, has as yet presented
no candidate of his own"
At this point Senator Daniel was
interrupted with cries of order.
Mr.. Bryan asked that Senator
Daniel be allowed to proceed and the
latter resumed. The senator said:
II am convinced that the country is
on the verge OF a great calamity. This
is not time for selfish interest for
small conceptions of consistency, for
personal likes or regards"
Senator Daniel favored the gold
plank.
The gold plank kas stricken out by
