The San Francisco call., 1904-02-11

Kieff, Kharkoff, Ekaterinoslav and
Moscow come stories of patriotic dem
onstrations. Public balls and other fes-
tivities have been countermanded and
the Red Cross Society is besieged by
fair applicants anxious TO go to the
front.
The state of feeling here was illus
trated at the theaters last night, when
people demanded the national anthem.
More remarkable was the refusal CT
the dorsky drivers yesterday to accept
money from officers whom they drove
to the palace.
ACCUSE JAPAN OF TREACHERY.
The newspapers in general denounce
the action of Japan as being treacher-
Gus, declaring that it is truly Asiatic, :"
but insisting that the issue of the con-
fiict will not be decided by the naval
engagements, as the Japanese will have
to meet Russia on dry land, when the
score will be wiped cut The Novoe
Vremya says it is quite possible that
the whole of Korea has been overrun
by Japanese soldiers in disguise and
that Russia may first have to assume
the aggressive, but when her forces
in Southern Manchuria and Korea are
increased the Japanese will realize
what they have to meet.

dred and thirty million Russian hearts
are beating in unison in the desire to
expunge the traitorous slight on Rus
sian honor. Enough of defensive tao
tics; let us drive out the foe"
The Bourse Gazette says: Yesterday
we longed for peace. Now we think
only of war. The world soon will be
startled by Russia's heroic work. japan
has placed herself beyond the pale of
civilization. The upstart, pigmy Jap
anese would not have dared to attack
the Government of Russia without the
encouragement of England and Ameri-

In this connection the Russ claims to
have authority for saying that the two
new Japanese warships (the Nisshin
and Kasaga) were saved from certain
capture by the Russian squadron bound
for the Far East under Admiral Wireus
by the action of the commander of a
British battleship in placing his vessel
across the Suez Canal and hosting a
signal of distress, thus delaying the
Russians two days.

Continental Nominee for Vice PreSi-

Washington, Sept. S-George H. Shib-
ley of this CITY, who was nominated by
the continental party at Chicago as cam
didate for vice president sent the fol-
lowing to the notification committee OF
the party declining the nomination:
with the general objects OF the
Continental party 1 am in hearty ac-
cord, but 1 place the initiative and
referendum as the dominant issue, for
it is only through the establishment of
this system that the people can over
come the monopolists and secure the
desired legislation. The mistakes of
the Continental party. in my opinion,
and the mistake of every third party in
the field is in asking that it, an organi-
zation outside the constitution and
controlled by a committee "a 'machine)
shall be installed as a ruler of the
American people. Why attempt to
build another party to place more can
didates in the field? Emancipation is
within the peoples grasp and in this
years campaign if they Will only ques-
ton candidates. To foster this move
ment, 1 have devoted my time and en-
ergies for four years and the ease and
rapidity with which the movement has
been and is progressing is an assur-
ance that it is along the line OF least
resistance The American Federation
of Labor with it's $4,000 unions and two
million members, also the Pennsylvania
Changers and other non-partisan or
ganizations are unitedly push

TAGGARr ISN'T WORRIED.
Result i'm Vermont is About What He
Expected.

New York, Sept. S.-The following
statement, concerning the result in
Vermont, has been issued by Thomas
Taggart, chairman of the democratic
national committee, and is concurred
in by William F. Sheehan, chairman of
the executive committee, and Delaney
Nicoll, vice chairman:
THE result in Vermont is not sur
prising, in view of the unparalleled eff
forts made by the republicans and the
quiet campaign conducted by the dem
ocrats. The administration concen-
trated all its forces and resources upon
that state, holding in the last week 200
meetings. The candidate for vice pres
ident secretary of war, the speaker of
the house of representatives, senators
of the United States and representa-
tives of congress, assisted by host
of lesser lights, made urgent appeals
to the republican farmers to go to the
POLLS Moreover, il was proclaimed
throughout the state that the presi-
dent had promised the candidate for
governor to attend his inauguration,
in case he obtained a majority of 49,
600.
"In view of these efforts. never made
by any party in a September election,
it is remarkable that the administra-
ton did not succeed in increasing the
majority. Indeed, it did not even in
crease the republican vote That does
not exceed 4S,05O. while in 1895 it was
63,256. ana in 1900 it was 4S.441."

the convention that our platform and
our candidate carry the same message
to the people, both speaking for the
same imperishable verities of might and
wisdom.
I'VE thank you particularly, Judge
Parker, for the manly declaration that
you will not be a candidate for a Sec
ond term if you are elected president.
We welcome in this avowal the intro
duction of a new and vital issue in
American politics and unhesitatingly
give it our endorsement and support.
1t supplements and completes that
vigorous manifestation of your indi-
viduality which the telegram to the
st. Louis convention so forcibly con-
veyed. We rejoice that the principles
and policies of democracy have found
so worthy an exponent in 1904 be-
cause we realize that every great pop
ular movement must present to the
people both the idea and the man for
the hour. We give both and we are
proud of the man who so impressively
demonstrates that he would rather be
right than be president.
I'VE mean that he shall be president
because he is right.
" Sow a character said a disting-
uished writer, and you reap a destiny
We shall prove the truth of the apoth-
Alton B. Parker at st. Louis. and it
will reap the presidency"
Applause greeted Mr.. Daniel's in
PRODUCTION of Mr.. Knapp and during
the latter's speech there were many
shouts of good for you," and similar
expressions of appreciation. The can
didate was greeted with cheers and
his speech was applauded throughout
After the speaking was over Judge
Parker and the members of his family
greeted all the guests at an informal
reception held on the veranda. The
entire delegation and other visitors
then proceeded to the boat, where
luncheon was served.
The editors started on the return trip
this afternoon. The entire return jour

Trip From New York.
New York, Sept. 9.-The Democratic
editors left the Grand Central station
for Esopus promptly today Several
members of the n~<ional committee ac-
companied them on the trip.
For the last "a hours many inquiries
have been had as to where the confer
ence of the editors will be held as that
was one of the objects stated in the In
vitation. Secretary Trey Woodson has
informed the editors that the confer
ence will take place on the steamer re-
turning from Esopus, when every editor
will be given opportunity to say
what he thinks of Judge ParRer. This
will be the only conference and the
real object in bringing the editors here
was to give them an opportunity or
meeting the candidate of their party.

COLEMAN FILES A BRIEF.
Kansas City Doodle Cases He Lost IN
Lower Court Are Appealed.

Attorney General Coleman has filed
in the supreme court his brief in the
Kansas City Doodle cases, the 1nd1ct-
ments in which were quashed by Judge
McCabe Moore in the Wyandotte coun-
tv district court, on the ground that
the indictments were faulty. one OF
the brief defects alleged in them was
that they were not signed by the coun-
tv attorney but by the attorney gem
eral and that Mr.. Coleman did not
state after his signature that he was
directed to take part in the prosecu-
ton by the governor.
In his brief Mr.. Coleman quotes tne
law governing the powers OF the attor-
ney general in such cases, and ne tnen
continues: -.
I'VE therefore contend that under his
general authority as attorney general
he may, in his discretion, institute
prosecutions in any court ne may
choose. But when required by the gov
arnor to commence a prosecution ms
discretion ceases and it becomes his
imperative duty to do so, and the per-
formance of such duty could be COM
nelIed by unandarnus. 1t will not seri-
ously be contended but that 1t IS MS
duty when required by the governor,
to take charge of a case ana prosecute
if after an Indictment has been re-
turned. If that is true, he has as much
authority to represent the state before
the Indictment is returned as after
ward. The proceedings, before grand
i1lIy are as much a part of a proSecu-
ton as the proceedings in the trial
court. The statute above quoted pro-
vides that the attorney general shall'
