Then Russia can gain nothing by con-
tinuing the war; She never can bring
ont oyer the railroad enough troops to
drive the japanese back over the
mountainous regions of Korea. me
best she can hope to do under any CIR
cumstances would be to regain the IN

That peace rumors are already rife,
springing from so many ana such
authoritative sources, leads to the
cheerful probability that the war will
be over within six months at the out
side.
The dearth of news from the front is
compensated for by the many signitl-
cant bits of information from other
sources. From Russia, for instance,
we hear of the ever more frequent
rioting of the reservists who are being
called to arms The half-staryed peas
ants and artisans, discouraged by the
stories of suffering and disaster that
come from the front, and knowing
that their wives and children must be
left dependent on already pauperized
cOmmunes, are summoned to fight in
a cause which has no interest for
them, nor any rational purpose. They
find themselves gathered together by
the thousand often without food or
shelter, and they begin to loot and
riot Of course, they are shot down,
but the regular soldiers who shoot
them are probably as rebellious at
heart themselves, if one may judge by
the startling general orders for the
suppression of the revolutionary prop
uganda in the army which accidental
ly came to light a month or so ago.
The spirit of the soldiers of Japan
is in the most complete contrast to

The armies facing each other aioug
the Shakhe River are still marking
time, and, if reports Of the elaborate
defensive works they are constructing
are true, they have no immediate in
tention of doing anything else.
Both armies are throwing up triple
and quadruple lines of heavy defenses,
protected in front by wire entangle-
ments, pits and mines 1t would be
a bloody task now for either force to
drive the other out of it's position.
Airport Arthur the Japanese are con-
tinuing their heavy attacks against the
fortresses from northeast to northwest
and west of the doomed city. With
a single unimportant exception no of
fetal information as to progress has
lately been given out since, but rumor
would indicate that material gains
have been made on the Rihlung and
Keekwan mountains north and north
east of the city, and that the assault
is now concentrating in the neighbor-
hood of the Else forts on the west.
The last fighting at Port Arthur of
which we know anything was over
a week ago, when the Japanese were
repulsed in an assault on Fort Else,
and the Russians accidentally explod-
ed one of their own mines under
themselves. The Russians were still
in possession of the main line of forts
and Liaotishan, but their outer works
were all taken, and the Japanese par
.allels were rapidly creeping in. The
defenders are reduced to about 5000.
One of Stoessels favorite devices to
nerve up his troops has been to warn
them that if they fell into Japanese
hands they would get no quarter. Of
late Nogi has been trying to disprove
Stoessel's statement by feeding his
prisoners we'll, giving them food, TO-
bacco, and clean clothing, and then
snding them back by night into Port
Arthur to spread among their COM
rades the story of their treatment. In
consequence, there have been a num-
Der of assertions, and the purpose of
the rank and file of the Russian army
to hold out to death has been weak
ened.
By far the most interesting feature
of the week has been the peace talk.

was 456.
A reduction in the number of malarial
fever cases at West Point is attributed to
an attack made on the mosquitoes.
Speaking of the militia, it is said that
very satisfactory progress has been made
toward bringing the organized militia, re-
specting armament, equipment and dis
cipline, up to the standard of the regu-
lar army. A total of 6,966 officers and
3,1O2 enlisted men of the militia or
CARNATIONS were present at the inspec-
tons.
Referring to the act of Congress pro-
viding for a roster of officers and enlisted
men of the Union and Confederate ar
mics, the report says that the responses
Of the Governors addressed inviting their
cooperation have been such as to assure
the department that they fully appreciate
the Importance Of the work and will CO.
operate heartily with the department in
it's efforts to give to the Confederate
soldier the place that is due him in the
proposed compilation.

that of the Russian soldiers, but at
that Japan has her troubles. Her latest
foreign loan will cost her six and two
thirds per cent. Her budget for next
year, including general and war ex-
penses, amounts to $50O,O0O,OOO, and if
the war lasts two years longer and
costs no more than present estimates,
her debt will reach a total Of at least
81 0000O0,000, an enormous burden for
country in which the average in
come of the people, expressed in mon
ey terms, is SO low as it is in Japan.
Under such internal conditions as
these in the two countries it certainly
must be regarded as highly rational
on Japan's part to seek for peace on
moderate terms, and highly irrational
on Russia's part to insist OH protract-
ing the struggle to the bitter end.
Russia insists on the restoration of her
prestige at all costs, and by prestige
she means her military prestige in
Asia. She could gain a higher pres
tige, in Europe if not in Asia, by treat
ing at last with Japan as power on
equal terms with herself Had she
been willing to do this a year ago the
war would never have begun.

PARKER FOR CONCORD.
KEYNOTE of His Address to the Democ-
racy Is sect Together"

racy Is "Get Together"
Judge Parker has given to the press
an omen letter, addressed ito the Dem
ocracy of the nation" in which he thanks
those in charge of his campaign work
and declares that the people will soon
realize that "the fairfield trusts are alb
sorbing the wealth of the nation. In
his letter Judge Parker says he shall
never again seek a nomination for public
office. He discusses the difficulties en-
countered by the Democrats in making
their campaign this year and makes sug-
gestions regarding harmony in the party.
In conclusion the judge says that IN
the presence of defeat he does not hest
tate to say that, in his opinion, the great
moral question that confronts the Deno-
Gratis is, shall the trusts and corporations
be prevented from contributing money 20
control or to aid in controlling elections
Referring to the Democratic party
Judge Parker says: "We must forget the
difficulties of the past. If any one sus-
poets his neighbor of treachery let MN
not hint of his suspicion Ii he knows
he has deserted us let him not tell II.
Our forces have been weakened by OIL
visions. We have quarreled at times over
non-essentials
eff we would help the people we must
forget the differences Of the past ana
begin this day to build up wherever II
may be needed broad and effective or
ganization. And we must by constant
teaching, through the press and from the
platform, apprise the people OF the way
the vicious tariff circle works"
Judge Parker expects to enter New
York law firm. He declines to name the
firm, although it, Is understood that MS
arrangements are completed
W. J. Bryan blames the Democratic
abandonment of radicalism at the st.
Louis convention for the party's over
whelming disaster at the polls. In
long statement he lashes the conserva-
tive reorganizers and proposes planks Tor
a platform to be used in 1908. He re-
peats Judge Parker's charge that the
trusts contributed to the Republican cam
paign fund in the expectation OF recelV-
ing immunity from the law.
In his proposed platform Mr.. Bryan
says death to private monopoly" should
be the Democratic slogan. His prime
issue is trusts, but he would attack the
tariff and imperialism, strip national
banks of certain powers, restore free Sill
yer, levy an income tax, prevent govern
ment by injunction and have the people
elect federal judges. Mr.. Bryan wants
to go to work at once to reclaim the
Democratic party to radicalism and says
he will do all he can in the fight.
Mr.. Bryan says: 'The result was due
to the fact that the Democratic party at
tempted to be conservative in the pres
ence of conditions which demand radical
remedies. It sounded a partial retreat
when it should have ordered a charge
all along the line"

STORM HITS THE EAST.
Furious Gale, Accom- panied by Snow
Sweeps Atlantic Coast.

sweeps AOdSts
New York was entirely cut off from
the South and West Sunday night by
fierce hurricane, accompanied by rain and
snow, which swept the Atlantic coast.
Starting from Florida Saturday night,
the storm of wind and rain came up the
coast at almost cyclonic speed. Early
Sunday morning it was central off Cape
Hatteras, although it's strengthening
force was felt far to the northward.
Rain began falling in New York at
a III. and early in the morning changed
to a wet snow. The wind. which had
been blowing moderately, yeered to the
southeast and shortly assumed hurricane
proportions At 6 O'Clock at night the
weather bureau noted a velocity Of forty
two miles an hour, which increased to
forty-eight miles at $50 O'Clock. That
speed kept up for several hours. At 10
o'clock the storm center was at Block
Island, where the barometer showed
pressure of 1852 inches, with the wind
blowing seventy-six miles an hour. At
Nantucket the barometer was Il trite
higher and the wind sixty miles.
Wire service out of New York was
tied up more effectually Sunday night
than at any time since the blizzard of
1883. The Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies had no direct com
munication with cities further south than
Baltimore, and all western points were
cut off. The Postal cabled some OF it's
most urgent messages to Canso, n. s.,
from which point they were wired to
Montreal and thence forwarded to Chi
cago over Canadian Pacific wires.
Chicago communication with the storm
swept center of the East was established
il, meager way through repaired lines
and telephones during Monday and facts
concerning the devastation of the terrific
blizzard were received with long Interrupt
tons. The business of the Chicago
Board of Trade, the Stock Exchange, and
III fact, all brokerage establishments, was
suspended during the entire day because
of the utter impossibility of getting dl-
rect wires in working order between Chi
cage and New York City. Many brok-
ers, eager for quotations, tried early In
the day to reach Gotham by sending ca
Diagrams that had to encirele the globe
to get there.
Advices indicate that several persons
lost their lives in the storm. Many boats
along the Atlantic coast were wrecked or
| imperiled, and those that were unable to
| make ports of shelter presumably went
| down. Valiant rescues were numerous.
| Scores of small towns were completely
| isolated Damage to property in them
will aggregate hundreds of thousands of
| dollars. People living in Scranton, Pa,
| had to shovel their way out of houses.
| Three feet of snow fell there. In the
vicinity of Harrisburg the downfall was
not quite so heavy-the depth measuring
| % inches in that section. In New York
| State the storms center was near AL
| bany.

Woman, but Gets No Money.

James Murphy of Duluth was found IN
a tamarack swamp thirty miles north or
there, by hunters wandering about de-
mented. His hands and feet were badly
frost bitten and he was in a pitiable
condition as the result of exposure and
terror over being lost four days in the
timber while land cruising. Murphy was
unable to give any account OF his expert
ences to his rescuers. He fancied wolves
were after him. His feet were so sore
he barely could totter along, and was
without matches or gun. The half-fam-
ished man was hurried to Duluth hos

be necessary to amputate both feet and
both arms
