JUDGE PARKEn,s REsIGNArIoN.

There is a great deal of speculation
in New York as to when Judge Parker
viii resign his office of Chief Judge
of the Court of Appeals. Some of the
newspapers of that state they are not
friendly papers, have suggested that he
doesn't intend to resign at all, that he
viii hold on to the place so that if he
fails 10 be elected President he will be
able to continue on the bench. Some
other papers, and they are not friendly
either, say that he doesn't intend to
resign until after Aug. s, for the rea-
son that if he Withholds his resignation
until after that date there can be no
election for chief Judge this year. and
that the election win have to take place
next year, the vacancy in the mean
time being filled by appointment by
the Governor. If he fails in his cam
paign for the presidence he viii
then, in 1905. have a chance to be elect
ed Chief Judge again. The term of the
office is fourteen years.
OF course these suggestions do Judge
Parker great injustice. There is no
doubt he intends to resign, and, that
too in time to give the people of New
York a chance to elect a Chief Judge
this year. He can he depended upon to
do what. i'm the estimation of the peo-
pie, is the right thing 1t is true, of
course, that he is very much attached
to the position he holds. The duties
of a judge of the highest court of the
state are very agreeable to him, and it
is a question whether he didn't hest
tate a long time as to whether he would
permit his name to go before the st.
Louis convention. 1t is known that he
made no personal effort to get the nom
nation, though his friends undoubtedly
did considerable work for him. A great
honor like that which has been con-
ferred upon him is not lightly to be put
aside
But Judge Parker wouldn't hold on
to the judgeship, even if he thought
there was doubt of his election. He
isn't that sort of n man. But it is a
safe statement that he is confident that
he will be elected. He has looked the
situation over carefully and sees
where, if no serious mistakes are made,
the votes to elect him are to come
from. But he will not permit any such
wild claim respecting his chances as
that attributed to. Mr.. Cortelyou re-
speeding Mr.. Roosevelt's chances, to be
published. He ecan be depended upon
to deal frankly with the public and do
the right thing at the proper time.

It is glacial acetic acid. Hear him:

substances accumulate in such quanti-

LAS the force was returning from the

west of LACY Yang, considerable num-
bers of bandits were discovered at a
spot where they had been concealed
by the villagers The riflemen attacked
the bandits, who occupied the out

FIFTY MILES OF RAIL
TORN UP BY THE JAPS.

ST. Petersburg, May 16, 1850 p. M
The Japanese evidently are determined
that there shall not be any further
rail communication between Gen. Ku-
ropatkin and Port Arthur. Official adj
vices received to-day by the. general
staff say the Japanese have destroyed
fifty miles of the railroad north of
by the Russians, who are gradually
abandoning it.
On the Japanese approach Col. Spir-
idoroff of the Amur Railroad battalion,
is seeking to render the railroad as
useless as possible to the enemy by
removing the switches and otherwise
disabling the road. The Russians are
retiring because of the approach of
the japanese columns sent westward
by Gen. Kuroki Immediately after the
occupation of Peng Wang Cheng.
Experts who discussed the military
situation to-day expressed the opinion
that Gen. Kuropatkin will not remain
at Lao Yang. Their view seems to be
borne out by reports from Lao Yang
announcing the departure of Russian
families from that point.
1t is said that Gen. Kuropatkin is
not at all discouraged by the advance
of the Japanese. kilograms received
here to-day from Lao Yang report
him as being perfectly satisfied" with
the outlook.
1t was announced to-day that the
Tenth and Seventeenth Army Corps
will leave May 16 for Manchuria. This
force includes the Orenburg division
of Cossacks and artillery armed with
the new model rapid-fire field guns.

LONDON PAPERS ON
CONDUCT OF THE WAR.

London, May lin the absence of
actual news from the seat of war in
the Far East, the London newspapers
this morning, commenting on what is
believed to be the precarious position
Of Gen. Kuropatkin, who is nenaced
by the possibility of the Chinese rebels
cutting his communications, as we'll as
by the difficulty of divining the Japa-
nese plan of campaign.
The Standard, which is rather in
clined to be o-Russian i'll its views,
admits that Gen. KuroDat kin has at
his disposal south of Mukden, at most,
100,000 troops of inferior quality, only
$4,000 of whom are available Tor active
operations, while Gen. i<uroki GER
tainly has 100000 f1rst-class troops, the
equal of those in European armies.
Under such conditions" the Stand
ard says, 'the issue of battle is very

character are expected within the next
day or two.
The First National, with capital of
100000, was examined Saturday by
Bank Examiner Albertson and found
solvent. 1t closed this morn
ing, it is alleged, because of transfers
of money made to the First National.
Mr.. Plant, who is a kinsman of the
capitalists of New York of the same
name, has been very ill for nearly two
months. He is perhaps the largest in
weston in Maconis manufacturing in
stitutions.
Examiner Albertson was appointed
receiver of the First National, and N.
B. Corbin receiver of the 1. C. Plants
Son bank.
Two petitions in involuntary bank
ruptcy were filed.
The other banks of Macon included
in the Clearing House Association were
not involved, as the two banks owed
them nothing.
Money is coming to Macon from New
York and nearby points, and no fur
Their trouble is apprehended, the banks
acting in concert, an agreement hav-
ing been reached tonight.
The Savannah banks, so far IS
known. are not affected by the Macon
failures. The local institutions dill
practically no business with the Ma
con banks. save in the way Of ex-
change, and had no interests in COM
mon with the Central city concerns that
are in the hands OF receivers.
R. H. Plant was well known in Sa-
vannah. as we'll as in other cities of
the state. Until some months ago he
was Southern manager for the New
York Life Insurance Company. Much
of the money he possessed was made
during his connection with this com.
pany. he had so valuable a contract
with the New York Life that, when
the company decided upon q change in
its method of doing business in this
section. and desired to buy. out ar.
Plant. il had to make him the offer
of fortune to release it from rhe con-
tract.
1t is said that the company rendered
$500, 000 which Mr.. Plant declined, pre-
ferring his contract to continue. He
was understood to be holding for $780,
900. This the company thought TOD
high, and negotiations were, for the
time, called off. subsequently the deal
was put through, and the inference
was that something like 100000. was
the amount that Mr.. Plant received
from the company. His position as
Southern manager. it was understood,
had been paying him about $4,000
year.
