GOVERNMENT TRUE
TO THE SPIRIT OF
THE CONSTITUTION

-Four years ago, in his speech OF acceptance,
President Mckinley said
I'VE have been moving in untried paths,
but our steps have been guided by honor and
duty. There will be no turning aside no
wavering no retreat No blow has been
struck except for liberty and humanity. and
none will be. We will perform without fear
every national and International. obligation.
The Republican party was dedicated to free
dom forty four years ago. 1t has been the
party OF liberty and emancipation from that
hour, not Of profession. but of performance.
II broke the shackles OF four million slaves,
and made them free. and to the party OF
Lincoln has come another supreme opportunity
which Il has braveiy met in the liberation OF
ten millions OF the human family from the
yoke of imperialism In its solution OF great
problems in its performance of high duties
it has had the support OF members of all par
ties in the past and il confidently invokes
their CO. operation in the future
This is as true as four years ago We
did not take the Philippines at will and NE
cannot put them aside at VIII. Any abandon
rnent OF the policy which we have steadily
pursued in the islands would be frausht with
dishonor and disaster. and to such dishonor
and disaster do not believe that the Aneri-
can people will consent.

empire for d number of years.
II was generally understood by Cap
tain Havner's fellow passengers during
the voyage across the Pacific that he
was on A mission to this country and
his quiet movements during his stay
in this city strengthened the existing
suspicion that he was here in the in
terest of the Russian Government.
When it first became known that the
japanese Government was receiving
large cargoes of contraband articles
from San Francisco by the Pacific Mail
and Toyo Kisen- kaisha liners the cap
tain remarked, in a rather significant
way, that Russia would soon be ship
ping 10 Vladivostok.
Later he grew confidential with one
acquaintance, to whom he said that
he was awaiting a Russian vessel to
arrive at his port, and added that he
expected to return to Vladivostok be-
fore many months had passed.
During his stay in this city he made
frequent trips into the wholesale dis
tricts, where it was supposed that he
talked with merchants regarding the
purchase of large stocks of their
goods. He finally left here. saying that
he was going to a northern resort for
a short rest.
The Russian Consul's apparent
eagerness yesterday after the captain
of the Lena had visited him, to dis
cover the Wherea bouts of Captain Hav-
ner, naturally aroused the suspicion
that possibly the former pilot of the
Vladivostok fleet is in some way con-
rected with the sudden appearance in
this port of one of the cars trans
ports and that the latter vessel may
have been the one Captain Havner had
in mind when he told his friend that
he expected a Russian vessel here and
was hopeful of returning to Vladivos-
tok before many months had passed" :"

~ less Than Eighteen Thousand.
TOXIC. Sept. 11.-An approximation
OF the japanese casualties in the battle
OF Liaoyang, based upon reports Of the
chiefs Of the medical corps of the three
japanese armies, was concluded to-day.
II covers the hghting from August 26.
and shows that the japanese killed and
wounded number l. ,53S men, divided as
follows:
In the right army. under the COM
mand Of General Kuroki. 1850 men.
In the center army. under the COM
mand Of General Nodzu. 1892 men.
In the left army. under the command
Of General Oku. 1851 men.
These casualties include 1S6 officers
killed and z64 officers wounded.
The fact that the army under Cen
eral Oku sustained the heaviest losses
is accounted for by its assaults upon
the Russian defenses 10 the south of
LiaOysng.
LONDON. Sept. 1.-THE correspond
ent Of the Times with General Oku's
army refterates his statement that
Ol1u's losses in two DAYS fighting at
Liaoyang were close to 10000 men,
while in the entire battle they far eX-
ceeded that figure. He says that the
losses Of the center and right armies
were not as great in proportion, Oku's
casualties being the greatest because of
his repeated terrific assaults upon the
Russian fOrtificatiOns. The correspond
ent says q. 600 men would be a cOnser-
vatiVe estimate OF the total losses OF
the combined japanese armies at Lao

LENA's CAPTAIN VISITS.
He Is Gracefully Received Aboard the
Flagship New York.

Shortly after the Lena came to an an
chorage Captain Berlinsky and his Of
f1cers visited the United States flagship
New York and were received by Flag
Lieutenant Sargent, as both Admiral
Chadwick and Captain Hunker were on
shore.s
Lieutenant Sargent said that the on v
question put TO him by the Russians III
regard to news of the war was wheth-
er Port Arthur had fallen. He says
that when he told them the Russian
stronghold was still in the possession
of the Slavs the Russian officers seemed
surprised They asked no questions in
regard to the doings of the army, and
seemed TO care little about what was
going on. The officers of the New York
thought this action on the part of the
Russians singular, inasmuch as. they
had been at sea for over a month with
out news.
Captain Hunker says that from what
he has learned Of the condition of the
Lena she will have to be dismantled,
as required by international law, after
she has been here twenty-four hours.
Once dismantled she will be compelled
to stay here until the war is over. Her
crew win enjoy the San Francisco cli-
mate for some time unless they go back
to Russia by way of New York.
The Lena is very foul Of bottom and
her engines and boilers are nearly out
of commission. She does not present
the spick and sDan appearance Of the
American nnan-of-war, and her officers
and men are poorly uniformed. The
sailors are scantily attired and their
clothes are old and torn.
Captain Hunker Of the New York
said last night that it was more than
probable that the poor condition of the
Lena's machinery was due TO inexpe-
rienced engineers, or possibly to the
consuming of a low grade OF coal.
AS Admiral Chadwick was absent
from the New York it was impossible
to ascertain his views on the subject.

Washington Believes Cruiser Can Stay

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Secretary
Morton said tonight no word had been
received from Admiral Whiting re-
garding the Lena, but that if he asked
for instructions his telegram would be
referred TO the State Department. 1t
is thought here that the Lena would be
given reasonable time to make re-
pairs. especially as she is not a fight
ing vessel and is far removed from the
theater of war. With no Japanese
ships in close pursuit Navy Department
officials are puzzled to know how the
Lena came to put in at San Francisco.
as the Bureau Of Naval Intelligence,
which is watching closely the move
ments of ships OF various nations, had
not received information that she was
expected in American waters.

BY virtue Of an imperial ukase to the effect

The house gown illustrated is most
effectively trimmed with deep white
chenille fringe with a strand of black
knotted in the upper part.
The gown is of white etamine over
which is taffeta and is made with full
circular drop skirt, shirred over cords
around the hips and cut up a little on
both sides at the bottom, where it is
edged with white and black chenille
fringe, fully ten inches wide. This fringe
is one Of the prettiest novelties seen this
spring. The chenille used is as large
as ones little finger and knotted to the
depth of three inches for which depth
the black chenille is mixed with the
white.
Above the fringe is an insertion of
white Arabian lace and under the
fringe is a 1aring shaped f1ounce of

lining.

FAps IN SPRING FASHIONS.

TIE vogue of wells is still on the in
crease, and never was such season
for wells as the coming one promises
to be, at least not since the days when
ace-bordered, curtainlike f1ounces fell
from the rims of poke bonnets over
the faces of our great grandmothers.
The new hats show wells that are very
much of this character. They are
costly and ornate affairs, worked over
with exquisite lace motives, and. shap-
ed to curve upward at the back, where
they are carefully looped and draped.
Chemisettes and vests of chiffon and
lace will abound this season, it is
said, and dead white will be combined
with black, with narrow fold of col
ored velvet at the throat for those
whose complexion will not stand the
unrelieved white.
The vests and underwear of muslin
and lace that are seen in so many
fashionable gowns are not always
shams. 1t has become quite the fad to
provide complete underslips of muslin

the beautiful new jeweled buckles of

Sashes, by the way, will be worn
