Russians Explains Disa ster.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 2S.-Rus-
slams now declare that it,was hunger,
and not the japanese, which forced
them from their positions on the Yalu.
The YuZhahya ROssiya publishes a dis
patch from its war correspondent, in
which the following passage occurs:
For eight days during and after
the Yalu battle our men did not taste
bread. Instead, they were given flour,
which they ate mixed with water, and
some even without water. In spite of
this entire absense of proper food, the
soldiers proved their amazing endur-
ance by constructing heavy earthworks
on their line of retreat"

SHOW OF CARRYING MANY

He Declares That Bryan and His Fol-
lowers Will Not Bolt the
Ticket.

PORTLAND, Ore, July 2S.-In high
spirits and full of confidence that the
cause Of democracy will triumph
throughout the length and breadth Of
the land next November; convinced
that the democratic platform is all
right and the standard bearer of the
party leader of men, George E.
Chamberlain, governor of Oregon, has
returned home. He was glad to get
back, he said, and declared that today
was the first he had had a chance to
wear a decent suit of clothes, a white
shirt or vest, since ne left the states
to go to the national democratic co.,
vention at ST. Louis. Queried anent
the political situation, Governor
Chamberlain said:
THE democrats have reason to be
hopeful Of carrying the election at
the coming campaign. 1 have talked
with men from all parts of the east.
and have been through the south, and
I think the south is unquestionably
with the ticket, with the chances in
favor of carrying New York Massa
chusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
Delaware and New Jersey.
Il have talked with republicans from
the east, who say that it will be the
vest-pocket votes which will determine
the election in these states. Vest
pocket voters are men VINO don't say
Cleveland campaign.
What do l think of Parker? 1 think
Parker is most excellent man. He is
capable, conservative, and highly es-
teemed. l believe that many men who
because they fear his impulsive ma
ture and the danger which might result
country through that.
Bryan has been abused and criti-
cised, but he unequivocally promised
his support to the ticket at the conven-
ton, and those who know him best are
out this promise. l have talked with
strong Bryan men from all sections of
he TO Sn1
who will bolt the nomination.
About Parkers telegram? Yes, my
jure, but subsequent events have led
me to believe that it will strengthen his
of all classes of his integrity and de-
termination to let the people know just
where he stands.
What about the platform? 1 am sat-
isfied with the platform. Democrats are
generally satisfied with a platform.
The St. Louis platform represents a
compromise. Life is a compromise"
continued the governor, with look of
wisdom, and the compromise adopt
ed there met with the approval of all
delegates to the convention.
whats the use of putting in a
platform a question that is settled?'
said the governor when asked If it
were a wise move on the part of re-
mocracy in leaving out the gold plank.
1T is conceded on all hands that the
money question is settled. Providence
settled that question: said the COVER
nor with another wise look, lust as
the fate of war settled the question of
the abolition Of slavery"
Governor Chamberlain decries the
report that Wall street is behind Par
ker. 1t is unfair, says the governor,
to accuse Parker of being Wall streets
candidate simply because a number of
Wall street men sat in the democratic
convention, any more than it would be
to accuse Roosevelt of being Wall
streets candidate, merely because sew
eral Wall-street men sat in the repub-
lican convention.

Mourning Fashion

Face wells may or may not be worn,
according to personal taste. Usually a
thin mesh in a weave becoming to the
wearer's complexion is brought just
under the nose or to tip of the chin.
This face veil may have a trim border
of crepe, too, ie desired.
Except on elderly ladies, bonnets are
rarely seen now that toques are fash
ionable and universally becoming. They
are small, medium and large and are
simply covered with folds Of crepe or
mourning silk.
A novelty mourning costume was one
made of all crepe. trimmed with folds of
soft silk The skirt OF this was cut with
a deep circular fiounce, headed top and
bottom with fiat trimmings of peau de
sole, yelled with black mousseline. The
bodice was simply relieved with narrow
bands Of silk. This makes a very hand
some and elegant gown and for a
change is rather good, but the general
effect is heavy. and would be ponder

meet the freshfaced, rosy, smiling
humanity that beamed on every hand
during the anti Christmas season.
Most Of us are going around as If we
had slowly and painfully dragged our
selves back from the grave.
It's not the Christmas dinner so
much as the nibbling habit that may
be blamed for this general after-the-
holidays condition.
On no other occasion in the year
would you think Of mincing at sweets
from morning tin night.
Bnt during the holiday season boxes
of candies, nuts and raisins sit around
under our fingers, provoking the most
abstemious to constant dissipation.
There they are. crying to be eaten;
and we pick them up idly, nibble them
unconsciously and keep up the perni-
cious feasting from breakfast to
luncheon, and from luncheon to din
ner and from dinner or supper until
bedtime.
It's a species Of intemperance,
neither more nor less; those who
wouldn't indulge at any other time
| in the year. look upon the holidays
as a specially licensed season, and
put no restraint upon their cravings.
And the whole process is so uncon-
scious and gradual that. once the mis-
chief is done, we are beautifully in
nocent Of the cause.
Il don't know what's the matter
with me, can't eat thing. Feel as
yellow and fuzzy as humble bee Hate
lam my friends. Want to go off some
where and die. What's the use Of liv-
ing, anyhow"
That's the lovely spirit with which
many OF us return to our accustomed
duties after the holiday candy spree
Only we don't blame it on the candy
spree. It's life's fault, the worlds
fault the fault Of this tiresome bust
ness Of celebrating Christmas.
No, really, it's the fault Of the MD
ding habit. Put the candy and nuts
away. Don't let the children have
them, and don't eat them yourself. ex.

New Year,s &c Came

Good resolutions is an appropriate
game for New Years Eve. Each per-
son is given a paper and pencil and
requested to write at the top of the
page the word Resolved" followed
by expressions Of amendment that he
or she is conscious OF needing. one
such attemp at determination re-
suited in the following resolves:
II will be as honest as the times
will permit"
u will spend less time before my
mirror-be the self-denial what 1t
may"
Il will break no more hearts,
Il will not cross bridges until 1 get
to them-it would be too difficult"
At the second round each player
selects some one else of the company
and writes his or her resolutions for
the year. signing the paper with the
name Of the victim. The following
are a sample of the resolutions sug-
gested by friendly enemies:
