The final demonstration arranged by

the republican headquarters in Odd

which was decorated with Japanese
lanterns, Fireworks were set off
while the parade passed. The line of
march then led around city hall park,
and up High to Smith, to Wilder Hall
The parade was led by carriage
containing some of the candidates.
There were number of ladies In the
front of the hall.
Judge Adrian Lyon was chairman
of the meeting. He introduced the
first speaker, Edmund Wilson, of Red
Bank, as one of New Jerseys illus
trnous men.
Mr.. Wilsonsmade a favorable i'm
preston.
He appeared prefectly cog.iizsnt of
the facts in the 1904 political situa-
tion, both State and national, and he
presented the issues clearly and con-
oisely.
Taking first the equal taxation issue,
Mr.. Wilson declared that the demo-
cratic propaganda is impossible Of
consummation, even in the event of
the democrats electing both q Cover
nor and majority in tho State legis-
Iature. H reviewed the record of
Mr.. Black, the democratic guberna-
torlal candidate, and repeated the
fact broughtsout by the News that Mr.,
Black until his nomination sturidly
advocated the provisions of the tax
law of 1884, and declared the problem
of solving the difficulty to be too in
tricate for the present action. And
yet," continued the speaker, when
Mr.. Black is nominated for governor
he allows his ambition to be de.
throned by his Judgment, and de.
clared that the problem is childishly
simple and that the time has come fol-
immediate action. "
Mr.. Wilson refuted the democratic
charge of extravaganca in the +. repub.
lican administration of the State
government, and asked, as did can
didate Stokes, whether Mr.. Black pur.
posed to cut down the appropriation
for good roads, for the care of the in.
sane. the reformatory fund, the main
tenance of an epipleptic village, or the
public school appropriation.
He also spoke on national issues
He was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause, and the hand clapping, at the
close of his address of a little more
than an hour, was loud and con-
tinued.
The chairman then stated that Ed
ward F. Brown, of New York, was

it is the general belief that the defici-

The mistakes in the keeping of the

1T is SAID MEDIATION
MAY SOON BE TRIED.

Paris. March 1.-THE Figaro this
morning prints an interview with
person of much Importance in the
diplomatic world, who declares that al
though the recent rumors of probable
mediation beween Russia and Japan
are premature, the positive denials of
these rumors are equally baseIess.
Il can assure you" this person says,
that favored by the comparative calm
which prevails at this moment, most
active exchange of views is going on
between European cabinets.
THE chancellories have begun to
play the part of international firemen,'
in other words. they are trying to re-
strict the spread of the confiagration
and to protect adjoining states"
After referring to the wild rumOrs
circulated of late, the informant of the
Figaro said in conclusions: o.sT
lone thing remains certain; namely
the new and striking affirmation of the
close friendship uniting Nicholas II and
King Edward VII Everywhere peace
is desired and governments are work
ing for il with all their strength"

RUSSIANS THOUGHT THEY
HAD A NEW GRIEVANCE.

st. Petersburg, March 1S.-The cir
cuiatlon here of an untrue report to
the effect that the Washington cabinet
had decided to support the protest of
the commander of the United States
gunboat Helena, now at New Chwang,
against the action of the Russian au-
thorities in sinking Chinese junks in
the channel of the Lao river, and that
Washington would notify Russia that
the neutrality of New Chwang must
be respected, has created something of
furry.
The Novoe Vremya makes this the
subject of an editorial article entitled,
More American Meddling," in which
it is contended that as New Chwang
is within Manchuria and is only six
miles distant from the railroad to Port
Arthur, Russia has perfect right to
take defensive measures there, and
that unless the United States were
seeking a cause of a quarrel it would
not insist upon supporting the protest
of the commander. Fortunately a de-
NAL of this story reached here tonight
in time to head off what might have
proved fresh cause of irritation.

SAYS THAT THE GOVERNOR
WAS SLIGHTLY WOUNDED.

Tien Tsin. March 13.-A Russian re-
fugee, who arrived here to-day,
throws valuable additional light on
the bombardment of Port Arthur last
Thursday. He says twenty soldiers and
two civilians were killed and three
civilians injured. Col. Vershinin, governor
of Port Arthur, was slightly wounded.
The Japanese used three or four
hundred Russian shells, which they
found on the captured transport Man
churia.
The refugee says only four Japan
csc cruisers were actively engaged.
Besides the Retvizan, the battleship
Peteropavlovsk received slight damage
from shot.
The action Of Vice Admiral Maka-
rolf of the armored cruiser Noviak In
taking a portion of the fleet out of the
harbor on Friday morning appealed
to the patriotism and excited the ad-
miration of the gorrison.
The food supply of Port Arthur is
reported to be abnormal, though it
is necessary to govern prices by
ordinances. Three merchants have been
punished for raising prices.

KUR0PATKlN RECEIVED
AT ANCIENT CAPITAL.

Moscow, March 13.-The day Gen.
Kuropatkin spent here was marked by
decorations rivalling those in st.
Petersburg. Immediately on arriving
he went to the Sergius monastery,
where he attended a TIE Deum. After
this service, he was conducted to the
Abbot's cell, where he was blessed with
the ancient Ikon of Sergius.
Returning to Moscow, the general
proceeded to the Governor Generals
palace. where he spent several hours in
receiving Populations of peasants, mer-
chants and mobiles, as well as the city
elders, who were headed by the senior
elder of all Russia.
From the palace the General was
driven to the mobiles assembly rooms,
where he replied to the greeting of
Prince TroubetZkoy who expressed the
universal confidence in Gen. Kuro-
patkin's leadership.
Gen. Kuropatkin said: Russia has
outlived trials many times heavier than
those which have now fallen to her
lot and ever issued victorious. With
out belittling the difficulties which
confront us or the strength or worth
of our foes we can confidently await
the victorious termination of a fight
Wnlch was not begun by US.
"A mighty host already has assem-
bled in the Far East by the EN-
perors order, but if this does not suf-
flee the Emperor will send out fresh
forces.
THE prayers of Moscow and of Rus
STA will maintain us and give us
strength to stand up for Russia's in
terests in the Far East; we will not
spare life or health in the service OF
the Emperor and the country.
Representatives of Moscow, accept
the most humble thanks of the Man
churian army for your warm greetings
and prayers. The Ikons are not taken
away for me alone, but for the whole
army, and as soon as I reach the Far
East l will tell Viceroy Alexieh and
the troops of the farewell rendered me
by Moscow and Russia.
Il hope and pray that I shall be vic
torious. l wish you good health and
prosperity
Turning to the Governor General of
Moscow, Gen. Kuropatkin said:
II will conclude by asking you to
join me in three cheers for the EN-
peror'
A mighty hurrah greeted the Generals
closing words.
Gen. Kuropatkin dined on board his
private car and left at o'clock this
evening for the Far East amid popular
demonstrations

MAY FORM A GREAT
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.

Washington. March ia plan has
been suggested to unite the Columbian,
American and National Universities OF
the District of Columbia to form the
nucleus of a great national university
at the capital. The trustees of the
American University, with its endow-
ment of over 100000 and its tract of
ground in the northwestern Suburbs,
have discussed the project Bishop
McCabe. the head of the university, has
spoken favorably of the idea.
President Needham of the Columbian
University, and a number OF the other
officers of that institution have ex-
pressed a willingness to meet the Amer
lean University people and consider the
project. The National University of
ficials are favorable. 1t is entirely
probable that within the next few
months that such meeting of the diff
ferent interests will be had.

CONFIDENCE SHOWN
IN RUSSIAN REPORTS.

st. Petersburg, March 13.-The conf
dence displayed by the Russian people
in the reports of the government on the
progress of the fighting in the Far
East. which is one of the most notable
features in Russia of the war thus far,
has been largely due to an entire
change of policy inaugurated by the
Emperor some time ago with the aboli-
ton of the censorship on foreign news
paper dispatches. This abolition was
followed when the war broke out by
the EmperOrs decision to make public
as fully as possible all reports regard
ing the war in the belief that the loyal
ty of his subjects would be strengthen
ed by acquainting them with the truth
in victory or defeat. 1t was an appeal
to the sentimental side of the Russian
character, which has been more than
justified by the almost instantaneous
effect.
Hitherto the government has con-
sidered it unwise to give the people in
formation freely at critical moments
and the result was that the people, be-
ing pessimistic, were often inclined to
imagine things to be much worse than
they really were.
The Associated Press is assured by
a IlS1 authority THAT dll Official Iele-
grams always have been given
out accurately. in so far as
their sense was concerned. and
in most cases textually, although
occasionally words have been changed
where the original words were subject
to misconstruction. For instance. in
one case the words "the enemy was at
our heels were altered to read the
enemy was behind u.s." lest the original
language should give the ignorant the
impression that the Russians were fly
ing before the Japanese.
Even the habitual critics of the gov
eminent have been astonished at the
manner in which the authorities are
taking the people into their confidence
in the var, and this policy of fair deal
ing would seem TO be uniting the ma
ton as never before in her history.
Gen. Kuropatkins open warning to
the people, in his speech to the munici-
pal council, not to expect too much at
first, but to exercise patience, is an
evidence of the frankness with which
the people are being treated. The ut
terances of the General on that occa-
sion were commended warmly by the
press, as much better than glittering
promises which might not be redeemed.

bIes of His Own, and There

C.roesus. the John d. Rockefeller OF

$500 years old. He had his troubles,
however, and some of them were full
grown. He was taken captive once by
Cyrus and only saved himself from
being burned alive by quoting say
ing of Scion, the Sage. He finally had
to flee his kingdom for parts unknown.
Many OF the rich mans troubles to-
day come from high living and could
be avoided. They are brought on by
eating all kinds of rich, heavy foods
at irregular times. lack Of proper ex-
erclse, undue mental strain, unnat-
ural stimulants. ETC., and are COM
