He made big play for the labor
vote last summer when be rushed IN

doubtless knows now as well as do the
labor leaders themselves that there Is
an organized opposition against him
in several OF the largest branches of
the Labor Union, and consequently
be is looking away from the cities to
the rural districts where reside the
men whom be has designated as the
basest in the land" Will they in

Will they vote to continue in the
Presidents chair a man whose first
act after reaching the White House
almost was to find fault with the
dwelling which had been amply mag
ni6cent- fer former and wiser Presi-
dents, and not only to find fault but
to proceed to tear out and destroy the
beautifully simple and historic interior
OF the nations White House weeks
before Congress, alone holding the
power to authorize such changes, had
given it's permission or authorized the
use of public money for that purpose.
More than 100000 he spent in
extravagant and destructive remodel
ling OF that which can never be re-
placed. That done he required twice
as many servants to run the palace

while foreign diplomats and personal
friends Of the Roosevelt family" the

the time of Adams to that Of McKin-
ley stood open for rich and poor alike.

TROOPS SENT DAILY
Many Armed Men Being Sent TO the
Scene of HostiIities K
RUSSIANS BECOMING STRONGER
No Definite Information, However,
Showing That the Russians Are
Ready to Meet the Japanese.

St. Petersburg, BY Cable.-The best
informed circles attach no Importance
to the reports that Gen. Kuropatkin has
detached a large force from his army
at Liao Yang and dispatched it south
ward to relieve Port Arthur, and. it is
distinctly denied that Emperor Mich
olas personally ordered such a move
ment. It can be authoritatively stated
that the Emperor's confidence in ku-
ropatkin is unshaken and his majesty
is not attempting to interfere with his
plan Of campaign. While no such
army has been dispatched southwark,
it is natural that Kuropatkin will do all
possible to harass General Oku's rear.
The railroads have been kept open as
far as Vafangow, 25 miles above Kin
Chou, and it is not unlikely, since the
Japanese have failed to push through a
line across the head Of the Lao Tung
peninsula, that several thousand Rus
sian troops may be sent down the rail-
road to impede the japanese operations
and infict as much damage as possible
as these could be easily withdrawn by
railroad if the enemy threatened to cut
the line of communication above. Even
the loss Of a few regiments would be
considered cheap If the japanese op-
erations against Port Arthur were
thereby retarded for an appreciable
time However, it is realized that with
the Japanese occupation Of Port Dalny
and Talien-Wan as bases for landing
siege guns, the small force above Kin
Chou could accomplish but little,>and 1t
is now more likely to be withdrawn,
destroying the railroad as it retires
northward. For strategic purposes
Kuropatkin may be trying to
make the Japanese believe that a
movement southwark is contemplated,
in order to divert Kurokis' attention in
that direction. The impression is be-
ing thrown out in certain quarters mere
that Kuropatkin is about to take the
offensive and that an engagement with
Kuroki is imminent. But, so far as
can be ascertained, there is no solid
foundation for this. 1t is unquestion-
able, however, that the railroad Is
pouring troops into Manchuria at the
rate of almost $500 day and it will
not be long at the present rate before
the Russian commander-in-chief will
be at least on equal terms with any
force the enemy can bring against
him.
The general staff is keeping very
dark about the whereabouts and pur-
poses of the Cossacks reported to be-
working around Kuroh's rear, and the
number Of raiders operating in Korea.
