HAULING DOWN THE FLAG.

Newchwang is Chinese river port ON the Liao
1t of the ports opened to commerce by our late
treaty with China and to which we sent consul 1t
is under Chinese jurisdiction, else we could not make
treaty respecting it. Russia has occupied it, pro
claimed martial law and Cossacks have hauled down
the American flag from the consulate and the resi-
dences of Americans The same has been done with
the British flag.
This was done by the order of Viceroy Alexieff
and is not yet known whether the highhanded pro-
ceeding is endorsed by his government. When that
is known there will probably be dpomtie exchanges
between our state department and Count CasSini
The count will dutfuly convey the studied misrep-
reservations of his government to ours and there the
matter may rest. The act is another violation of
the neutrality and territory of China Meantime Gen.
Ma, at the head of Chinese army the strength and
equipment of which is unknown, is moving toward
north China, and Russia is protesting at Pekn that
his presence within Chinese sovereignty with an
armed force is violation of neutrality and he must
be ordered to withdraw.
The western nations may not choose to vove in the
matter But there is no doubt about what they should
do. They should support China in putting Ma and
his army right up to the frontier 1t is obvious that
Russia intends to continue her outrages upon China
until that unfortunate empire is compelled to re-
sist If, at any time Japan have an arm in the val
ley of the Lilo above NewchWang and Ma is north of
the Kangan mountains junction between the two
forces would be unhappy for Russia In view of
this she desires to occupy any Chinese position that
is strategic and when she pleases, pull down flags
violate treaties and keep the territory forces of
China to which it belongs.
What she failed to get by the secret treaty in which
she would have forced China had it not been dis
covered by Minister Conger she now takes by brute
force and in brazen defiance of the international
rights of the United States and Great Britain May
be such course will win and perhaps it won't. The
United States has no desire to be drawn into the
controversy, but too many Cossack attacks on our
flag may rouse such resentment among our people
that the government will go beyond merely pretend
ing to believe the diplomatic lies of the legation

A TEST OF STRENGTH.

The first serious clash between the Russian and Jap
anese forces on land has come and terminated with
the advantage with the latter Four companies of
Cossacks attacked four squadrons of the muchderd-
ed cavalry of the japanese, and the latter according
to the Russian account, defended themselves stub
bornly and finally beat off their assaants who were
compelled to retreat According to the Russian ac-
count the retreat was on account of the approach of
further japanese reinforcements says the Post-In-
telingencer
The actual number of men involved in the fight on
either side not given but nearly as can be
tanned the japanese at the commencement of the
fight wre out numbered by about so per cent No
advantage was gained by the Russians at any stage
of the fighting, according to their own story and if
their retreat due to the approach of reinforce
ments, the japanese force originally attacked has
still the credit of holding its own with superior
force and maintaining the fight in gallant style
1t was little more than skirmsh but it was test
of metal. 1t demonstrated at least, that the Cos
sacks are not going to ride down any japanese force
of equal strength who mthey may encounter. Aft
er ALL it was the Russian force which sought the fight
and which retreated. The japanese held what they
had.
These outpost affairs are but the preludes to the
land battle which is near at hand Practically the
Russians ocupy all of the country north of the Chong
chou river and the japanese that to the southwark
The advance outposs of the japanese are evidently
held strongly, as the manner in which the Cossack
attack was repulSed indicates.
The correspondents report that the great japanese
machine is working smoothly and efficiently and that

JUDGE PARKER s STRENGTH.

| Reports from the democratic primaries in New
York state summarized by the New York Herald
show that David B. Hill will carry the approaching
convention in the interest of Judge Parker, which
will insure the latter the solid seventy-eight votes
for the democratic presidential nomination, says the
Ledger. The convention is to be held at Albany on
April Is, and while the democrats of few states,
such as Rhode Island and South Dakota, have al.
ready held their conventions, and some others will
have elected delegates before that date the democrats
in most of the popuous states are waiting to follow
the New York lead The probability is that
Leader Murphy, of Tammany Hail. finding that he
has failed to prevent the endorsement of Judge Par
ker, will fall in line and make the action of the New
York democrats unanimous and harmonious. In
that event there is little doubt that the influential
and pivotal states of the east and practically solid
south will welcome New York 5 choice of candidate
and instruct their delegations for Judge Parker.
There no reason to deny the fact that Judge Par
ker's nomination would be one of the strongest the
democrats could make. He has been almost unknown
outside of his state and there is no record what
ever of his views on many political propositions But
these are far from being disqualifcations A dem.
ocrat who has kept silent during the past fifteen years
as Judge Parker has since his elevation to the bench
has avoided multitude of pitfalls and has not made
enemies in his party. Judge Parker is clean, emf
nently respectable, dignifed, learned and urbane.
tie will command respect and confidence 1t will
not do to underrate his popularity. If he is nom
mated the contest will be between two gentlemen of
recognized character and honor, Which have always
been indispensable qualifications for the presidency
Personalities will in large measure be eliminated.
No one will have reason to complain on this score

To Adjust Wages.

New York, April 1.--Employes OF

A Russian officer is authority for the statement
that the world will never know until the eastern
war is over, if it knows then, how many japanese
fighting ships have been crippled or destroyed by the
guns OF the car If we were to accept as true what
Russian authorities think they see at Port Arthur We
would believe that every time japanese ship was hit
it exploded into dozen more, each better qualified
to fight than that from which it sprang.
