the road running northward from Sal
matse the Japanese advanced to an
attack on Da Pass. An official tele-
gram given out at Toxic tells of the
japanese capture of Telling, which
may be one of the passes just men
toned, or some other, as it clearly
cannot be the City of Telling north of
Mukden.
How far and how fast these move
ments will progress cannot be told, as
that depends on factors OF weather,
transport and men, concerning which
we are but poorly Informed. We may
expect, however, in due time to see
Mukden abandoned without hard fight

what weight to give to the reports we
do not know.
For some reason the Japanese gov
eminent has thus far declined to pup
lish any account Of the fighting at the
southern tip Of the Liaotung pen1nSu-
la. So what is happening must be
pieced out from the story OF Leupeh-
ant RadZiwill, who reached Cheioo
with dispatches from Stoessel' anu
from "reliable Chinese who, in mill
tarv matters, are the most unreliable
neonle on earth. There is no one so
afraid of powder and ball as the emma
man When he sees or hears an out
most sl1irmish it seems to him like the
LAST desperate general assault, and
when he reaches Chefoo he reports OF
"hails of shot, cyclones of shell, -
and 'earthquaking mines"
In the latter part Of August the Japs
took four outlying forts in front OF
Rihlung and Kikwang. They lmmedl-
ately set out to strengthen these
places, and made them into most re-
spectable Notifications. When the
next general assault starts, these forts
will try to silence the guns OF their
Russian opposites before the infantry
come into operation. If the new Japa-
nese forts can obtain a preponderance
over Rihlung and Kikwang those
places may possibly fall to general as

JUDGE PARKER's LETTER.
Attacks Imperialism and Advocates
Tariff Reform.

Attacks Imperialism and Advocates
Tariff Reform.
Arrangement of Imperialism ana ex-
ecutive power based on individual
caprice, demand for tariff reform on
prudent lines so as not to work reVo-
luton in existing conditions, unequlV-
ocal declaration in favor Of Filipino
independence, the urging of the I'M
mediate curtailment of expenditures
and a return to economical administra-
ton, and promise of sweeping 1nves-
tigat ton Of all departments OF the gov
eminent in the event Of party success
these are the distinctive features or
Alton Brooks Parker's formal letter
accepting the Democratic nomination
for the presidency.
Judge Parker digresses from the is
sues he regards as standing forth pre-
eminent in the public mind to answer
Rooseveltian epigram and 1nterroga-
ton with judicially constructed state
ments on q few of the other issues in
yolved in the campaign. Characterize
ing the service pension order OF the
President as usurpation of leglsla-
tive power, he quotes from Mr.. Roose-
velt's letter Of acceptance, and accepts
the challenge contained therein by de-
claring that If elected he will revoke
the order. He adds, however, that,
having done so, he will contribute his
effort toward the enactment Of an age
pension law by Congress. The Ian
guage of the Presidents letter, Judge
Parker says, suggests the suspicion
that the order was made to create an
issue.
The duty of proceeding with due dill
igence in the work of constructing the
Parker declares, but he says the meth
DDS by which the executive acquired
the canal route and rights are
source Of regret to many.
Another matter discussed briefly is
American shipping, forty years of de-
cadence being deplored, and the rec
ord of the Democratic party being
pointed to as giving assurance that
the work Of restoration can be more
wisely intrusted to it. The remedy,
it is declared, does not lie in subsidies
wrung from the taxpayers. Attention
is directed also to the officers and men
Of the army and navy, both, it being
declared, having suffered from the in
lection of personal and political in
fuence.
In a paragraph devoted to foreign
relations, Judge Parker says the new
conditions call for a management of |
foreign affairs the more circumspect |
in that the recent American inva
sion" Of markets in all parts of the |
world has excited the serious appre
hension of all the great industrial peo-
pies. 1t is essential, he believes, to |
adhere strictly to the traditional pol
icy regarding friendship and entang-
ing alliances, which means the ''cul-
ovation Of peace instead of the glorif-
,atian of 1nan1..eer,9 tho eaindi,sg, of, our
with the anaTre fsas1 liz

The fall of Port Arthur is evident
ly one Of the vital links in the Japa-
nese chain of strategy. Time and
again have the Japenese movements
been evidently thrown out by the per-
s1stent and unexpectedly successful de-
tense of the Russian fortress. In their
intended calendar of war the fall of
Rsrt Arthur was set for a date some
months back-probably in June.
Then from this June fall they educed
long train of consequences, such as
the destruction or capture of the Rms
sian fleet, which would allow part Of
the japanese fleet to go home, renair
take on new guns in place of those
worn out by constant firing, rest I'M its
men, while the remaining ships sealed
up Vladivostok.
Meanwhile Nogi and his 10000 men
would be released for other work
perhaps at Vladivostok. Kuroki and
Oku obviously tarried long waiting for
Port Arthur to fall. And by their far
rying they wasted much valuable time
and probably inflicted less severe
whipping on Kuropatkin than would
have been possible earlier. Stoessal

There has been vast amount Of
pity wasted upon the Moslem woman.
II may surprise even the woman suf-
fragist to learn that the laws of Mo

degree of legal protection than any
code of laws since the middle Roman
law. Only the more recent Liberties
and protection granted to married wo-
men by the laws Of divorce and the ex-
elusive property rights now In force In
the United States can be properly com
pared to those in Turkey. Under the
Moslem laws the provision for secur-
Ing to the wife the free and uncOn-

contract. A suitable sum is also ar
ranged for her maintenance in accord
