No Relief for Fortress.

Mukden, Friday, November IS (delayed. The Russian officers here say the Rus sian second Pacific squadron will not be handicapped should Port Arthur fall. The squadron will go to Vladivostok even in the event of Port Arthurs hold ing out, because there is better accom- modation at Vladivostok. Small hopes are entertained for the relief of Port Arthur.
 The roads here are in excellent condi- tlon during the winter, but the troops cannot stand active operations in the in- tense cold. Houses built in hasty man ner afford small protection and are not sufficient. All means of separating the army from the environs of the theatre of war are exhausted. The Chinese clothing which has been used by the Russian troops on account of the severe cold is now entirely discarded, a large consignment of warm overcoats having arrived here.
 Mukden, November 19.-The railroad east of Mukden Is completed to a point 30 miles east. Large supplies of coal are being obtained from the mines at Fushan.
 Both armies occupy strongly fortified positions. All the ranges are carefully marked and the army attacking will probably suffer very severe losses. The Japanese batteries have measured the range accurately from hill to hill and continue to throw shells very precisely.

PUBLIC EDUCATOR
People Learn About the Far East
From Newspapers.

In times of war between two grea
nations the newspaper becomes
great public educator. The press o
the country is today teaching the pub
lie more about Russia, Japan, Chini
and the Far East than it would evei
learn from geography or history. Thi.
Is largely because the excitement
produced by the big military opera
lions has stimulated an interest
which would not otherwise be arous
ed, and the newspapers are largely
keeping alive this interest by sup.
plying the demand for information
Not only the geography of that part
of the world but also It's history, po-
%litical, industrial, commercial and
military conditions are set forth in
compact form, so as to appeal to the
busy reader.
A few years ago a very small pro.
portion Of the people of the United
States knew anything about the Phil.
ippines or Cuba or Spain. In fact,
there was in this country a dense
Ignorance about our own navy. and
little more was known of our army.
After war was begun between the
United States and Spain the people
commenced to read, and the newspa.
pers furnished the reading matter.
Even children learned the difference
between battleships, cruisers, gun
boats, monitors, torpedo boats and
other war vessels, and the names and
sizes of Il fighting boats were soon
familiar to all. Information was also
acquired about Cuba, Spain, Porto
Rico and the Philippines, and a wealth
OF knowledge was obtained about our
foreign policies and the treaties ex.
listing between this and other coun.
tries.
Thus does the press become a great
school, supplying to the public such
information as Is most interesting
ana valuable. Whenever there is a
crisis like this" says the Richmond
Times-Dispatch, whenever there Is a
disaster like the eruption of Mont
Pelee, the newspapers at once be-
come a great school, in which the
people may learn valuable lessons
and practically all that is needed to
be learned without reference TO text
books or encyclopedias. The press is
prominently a great educator and is
fairly entitled TO be reckoned as part

HAVE JUDGE BURNETT's FRIENDS
SECURED AN INSTRUCTED
DELEGATION.

For a county that has two avowet
candidates for circuit Judge, and q
possible candidate or two for district
attorney, many do not endorse the
manner in which it was attempted to
secure an instruction for Judge Bur.
nett in the Marion county convention.
While there has been division among
Republicans as to Judge Burnett's re.
nomination, and many have been bit.
terry opposing him for another term
as circuit Judge, there has been no
fight conducted against him in the
newspapers or personally to prevent
his having the Marion county delega.
ton, II the Republicans Of the district
generally wanted him renominated,
II was thought by Republicans gen.
orally that a man who has been on the
bench twelve years would be willing
to trust Republicans to deal fairly
with him, without demanding an In.
structed delegation from his own
county.
It should also be remembered that
the district convention will be com
posed Of about sixty delegates, and
about thirty delegates will nominate
two circuit judges and a district at
torney. To give Judge Burnett an in.
structed delegation Of tw%enty-three
delegates means a clnch on the nomi.
nation of the whole judicial ticket, and
Is not fair to other interests.
There has been a perfect willing.
ness to give him the vote of Marion
county, II there vas any general de-
sire In the district to have him for an.
other term. No one has been heard
TO oppose that, No fair-minded Re
publican has been willing to give him
an instructed delegation.
Yet, in spite OF this general situa-
ton, an instruction was slipped into
the county convention, by inserting a

cral couty Republican platform. II

General Stoessel, commanding the

night of Sept. Is the garrison repelled
two attacks ON the redoubt protecting

Stoessels dispatch is as follows:
Port Arthur, Sept. 16.-The enemy
continues daily to lombard the forts
and batteries inside the fortress, but
still without showing any great actiy-
ity.
The wounded are recovering and
eagerly resume their places in the
ranks. They are heroes.
"The troops are in excellent spirits.
"At about this morning tSept.
16) at least one Japanese battalion
attacked the redoubt protecting the
waterworks. The garrison OF the re-
doubt repulsed the attack, but the en-
emy received reinforcements and re-
newed the attack after half an hour.
The garrison again repulsed them with
rifles and machine guns, supported by
artillery. The Japanese sustained
great losses and did not again at
tempt to take the offensive"

London, Sept. 21.-The day of atone
ment was marked In London by seri-
Gus rioting in the Jewish quarter or the
East End. Over 1000 Jews engaged
in a disturbance and nearly 300 police
had to be called out before the dis
order was quelled. The trouble arose
over the action of non-conforming
members of socialdemocratic jew
ish club at Spitalfields. situated in the
heart of district containing about
20, 900 Jewish Inhabitants. The social
lists openly paraded in disregard OF the
fasting injunction and made a ceie-
bration with wines at the clubhouse.
The orthodox Jews were angered ana
surrounded the clubhouse and stoned
it. The socialists threw bottles at the
crowd and soon the two or three mar
row streets in the vicinity became
choked by fighting mob. Ambulances
were called out and the doctors had
many minor cases TO attend to. FL
nally the police quelled the disturb
ance, cordoned of the streets in the
disturbed area and made several ar
rests. Excited groups OF orthodox
Jews, however. continued to parade
the streets and the houses OF several
socialist Jews were stoned.

GREAT BRITAIN CHARGED WITH
BREAKING FAITH IN NEGO-
TlATlONS WITH TIBET.
PROFITS BY RUSSIAN PREOCCUPATIOH
PRINCIPAL ARTICLE I'M TREATY
JUST SIGNED A BLOW AT
MUSCOVlTE EMPIRE.

st. Petersburg. Sept. 21.-Russia Off
cially maintains that Great Britain has
broken faith in the matter of the
Tibetan treaty and Ambassador Benck-
endorff has been instructed to lodge
a general protest at the British foreign
Office. According TO the Russian view,
as explained to she Associated Press,
Great Britain's pledges to Russia re-
garding the scope of the expedition
only contemplated the regulation OF
trade between India and Tibet and she
disclaimed any purpose to meddle with
the internal or political affairs OF the
country. Instead of so doing Russia
claims that treaty was forced upon
the Tibetans which goes much further,
creating a virtual protectorate over
the country Moreover it is contend
ed that the treaty is restriction upon
the sovereignty of China, inasmuch as
while recognizing the sovereignty oil
China by requiring her ratification the
treaty once ratified transfers the SOW
ereignty to Great Britain by compel
ling Tibet
To Consult Great Britain
in it's dealings with the other powers.
This is considered to be aimed direct
ly at Russia. The protest lodged In
London doubtless will be followed up
by one at Peking against the ratifica-
tion of the treaty.
Great Britain is believed here to JUS
tify her action on the ground that she
only agreed 10 confine herself TO GER
tain specified limits contained in the
assurances given TO Russia II the
Tibetans did not oppose the BRUSH
expedition. AS a matter OF fact little
hope is entertained in official circles
here that the Russian protests will be
needed either by Great Britain or
China, as Russia is not in position
to make an issue. The general feel
ing is that Great Britain has proflted
by Russias preoccupation in the war
to make her position in Tibet secure.
Therefore the chief importance OF the
protest at this time serves notice that
Russia does not acquiesce in Great
Britains Tibetan programme and that
she will feel herself at liberty to re-
open the question when her hands are
again free.
