Expect Japanese Advance.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. %. There
10 further delay in the news from the
front. A resumption of the japanese
advance is now expected to occur any
day. It is the third week since the
fighting at Liao Yang, and the Jap.
anese have had time to transport re.
inforcements from Yin Kow and bring
up sufficient men to the front to re.
place their losses, but it is not i'm.
probable that several days will inter.
vene before the armies come to close
quarters
1t ts fully appreciated here that the
japanese must try for the possession
of Mukden, as otherwise it will be diff.
ticult for them to provide the army
with winter quarters. The average
winter temperature is 40 degrees below
zero and the cold is intensified by con-
tinual winds and an almost entire ab.
sence of snow. 10 spite of this, how.
ever, the campaign will probabl con.
true during the winter II the japanese
succeed in getting Mukden. In this
contingency. General Kuropatkin, for
various reasons, will not likely allow
the Japanese to remain in undisturbed
possession of this point, which is i'm.
portant not only from strategic, but
. political point of view.

Two Political Predictions.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Represent.
alive Hull, of Iowa, fresh from repub.
licau national headquarters in New
Yord, today gave out an interview in
which he gave rosy outlook for the
republican cause. Mr.. Hull said:
"Roosevelt will carry New York,
but the result on the state ticket may
be in doubt. Roosevelt is stronger
than his party and he will poll 5000
more votes in Iowa than the rest of
the ticket; he will sweep Illinois by
100000: Indiana can be counted on to
give 10000 republican majority: the
house will remain republican.

Grosvenor Talks Politics.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-Geueral
Charles n. Grosvenor, whose politi.
cal representations always are
awaited with great interest, has issued
his second estimate on the coming
election. His first statement was made
in the house last winter, when he de-.
clared that Roosevelt could be elected
without the vote Of New York, q fact
that has become apparent since the
prediction was made. Now General
Grosvehor has the following to say:
"Judge Parker hasn't made himself
known to the American people IN q
way to get their confidence. The peo-
pie wish to know the man for whom
they are voting. In this case they
have the advantage Of knowing the
republican standard. bearer is an ag.
Rressive American. Itoured through
five states, and saw the voters face to
face. The hardest part Of the bust.
ness was discovering just what kind
OF politics our hearers proiessed.
They are the most demoralized lot Of
people ever saw under one political
banner. They can't help fighting
among themselves. And most of the
democratic leaders feel resentment be-
cause of the way they are crowded
into the background to make way for
newcomers, who had nothing to do
with the national organization In re-.

had promised to keep his office the
entire term, II elected. and decline to
be United States SEQ ator, and also re.
ported that the conference committee
would report 10 favor OF the indorse.
ment of the entire democratic ticket.
The labor convention completed it's
labors this afternoon about $50, after
having indorsed the democratic state
ticket and made no uomtn atious for
electors. The indorsement came with
great unanimity. after the conference
committee had made its report, aud
the results Of the convention were &C.
cepted with enthusiasm by all the
delegates.
Failing to effect . fusion with the
labor party, the populist party in it's
state convention today named three
electors from its own ranks and then
indorsed the entire democratic state
ticket, this being done on the recon-
mendation of the conference commit.
tee.
A call was issued today by Chair.
man Il. L. Frank for meeting Of the
democratic state central committee at
the Helena hotel next Monday after.
noon at 2 O. clock. This will be the
first meeting OF the state committee
since the convention, and at 1t ar
rangements will be made for the cam.
paign. Al the meeting an executive
committee and secretary and treasurer
also will be elected.
The antitrust republican executive
committee held meeting late this
afternoon and after canv assing every
nomination made by the regular re.
publican convention, found that there
was none on the ticket that the anti.
trust party could not endorse and Il
was unanimously decided to endorse

Sometime About canaries.


There is no much more fascinating
hobby than of bird-keeping, and if
canaries are properly managed and
healthy they seldom fail to do well
Canary lovers are now putting up
their birds to nest, that is, if they are
wise enough to wait until the cold
winds are over and April well on its
way through. The exquisite little
rollers, natures music boxes, are par
ticularly well worth breeding, as the
young cocks, if they hear no alien
song, but are kept under the tuition
OF really firstclass parent, will prob
ably reproduce his beautiful song
fairly well. 1t is, however. quite use.
less to expect the youngsters to in
herit good voices and the desired
tunefulness, unless hens Of the proper
strain are used. The common Ger
man country canary is not the same
rs the superior roller. Thousanf7 of
common hens are sent over and sold
in couples, at very low rate. each So
called pair in a tiny wooden. cage.
These latter are not in any way con
ncctcd with the aristOcratic rollers,
but every reliable dealer who sells a
frst.rate cock roller knows where to
put his hand on hens OF the same
strains, which are not cheap, but
worth having.
