st. Petersburg, Sept. 28.-7:04 am
In summing up the situation today
the military expert of The Russ says
It Is evident from all indications at
the front, that the Japanese are en-
gagged in a big turning movement on
the eastward. This would give them
the advantage, as heretofore, of operat-
ing largely in the mountains, to which
the artillery is better suited than for
movements in the open. But in the
present movement the Japanese are
necessarily losing touch with one an
otlIer, Their strategic position, is
therefore, less satisfactory than at
Lao Yang.
The Russ says it is a question
whether decisive or even serious en-
gagement will occur at Mukden. Such
an event will depend entirely upon
General Kuropatkin's view as to the
exigencies of the situation.
However, one may rest certain"
the paper adds, "that the sentimental
question Of violation of the Chinese
tombs will not weigh with the Rus
sian commander. The public must
wait patiently a few Gays in order
to ascertain whether there will be a
fight at Mukden or whether the retreat
will be continued to the strong posi-.
tion at Tie Pass"

TUESDAY, JUNE 7, 1904,

The aldermen decided, last night,
that they are best serving the city's
interests by ignoring the police ques-
ton. Mayor Seaman sent "a list Of
names several weeks ago and it was
given out that the police committee
wanted to investigate the men nom
mated before taking action. Two
meetings have since passed and the
investigation has not yot been COM
pletod. Politics aud ring fence
building seems to DO going on MS lively
as ever. 1t seems if q man does not
bow TO the rule Of one ring he will
not DO nominated and if he does not
acknowledge allegiance to another
faction Ee will not be confirmed.
Thus tho taxpayer is squeezed OF his
money and those elected to represent
the people in an impartial manner
use the public offices and public pay
rolls to build up n ring in order to
keep in control. While these politi-
clans fight among themselves for per-
sonal interests, the welfare of the city
is ignored. The departments suffer
and the citizens stand around with
their hands tied. This is bound to
end. The people are awakening.
The ballot box will loosen their
fetters. Perth Amboy wants men ut
the head of the city government who
hold the best interests Of the city
above everything else. From all ap-
paarance this is still lacking.
