Wherever he passes the summer and au-
tunln, reporters and photographers are
necessarily alert. SO many people desire
to see a nominee for the presidency, es-
pecially q new one, that he is constant
" receiving visitors, and he frequently
has to entertain homogeneous groups Of
callers. Great discretion must be exer-
cised by the candidate, for he can never

that he does or says. Every chance

Is closely examined by the opposition, in
search Of statements that may be used
against him. In six contests during the
last half century one candidate was al
ready occupying the White House and
running for reelection. Not since 1896
have both candidates been storining the
citadels from without, although this was
the case for three campaigns in success
sion, beginning with 1876. Five of these
contests between the candidate in the
presidential chair and the one outside
have gone into history. The sixth is now
In progress. Lincoln, Grant and McKin-
ley We're successful, while Cleveland
in 1888 and Harrison in 1892 were de-
feated. The chances thus seem fairly
even on this score. The battle is more
evenly matched, certainly on it's personal
aspects, when both candidates are drawn
from the field, because then they can do
the same things. One is not restrained
by the proprieties of the presidential
office, nor is the other held back from
efforts in which his rival cannot meet
him. Although the man in office obvious
ly has some advantages, he clearly labors
under many obstacles. He must make
decisions on the troublesome questions Of
current administration, when the outside
aspirant need tell what his policy would

AS King Peter entered the metropoi-

up his position under a canopy and the

THE TALK MEDIATION.
Little Prospect that Other Powers Will
Mix in the Eastern Embrog1io.

In it's session at st. Louis the Inter
parliamentary Union adopted two reso-
lutions, one asking the President Of the
United States to call a new session Of
The Hague conference and the other
asking the powers to intervene to effect
peace in the far East. The proposal to
hold another conference at The Hague
and thus promote the cause of peace gen.
orally can arouse no opposition. The res
olution calling for the intervention Of the
powers in the Russo-Japanese war is an
other and far less practicable measure.
AS matters now stand between the two
beligerent powers, a Chicago paper says,
neither is in a position either to ask
peace or to listen to offers of friendly
mediation. The fortunes Of war thus far
have been distinctly favorable to Japan.
That nation would not consent to any
terms of peace which did not involve the
expulsion Of Russia from Manchuria and
the placing Of Korea under japanese
srotectorate. In all likelihood, the
Japanese government would require also
Che cession of Sakhalin island and the
light to control the Port Arthur branch
IF the Siberian railway. Russia. while
has met heavy reverses, has experience
81 no such disastrous defeat as would
}ead it to consider such terms. 1t would
secline to admit that it has been defeat
ID or that future Campaigns may not
give it decisive victor, over it's enemy.
Unfortunately, moreover, none of the
great powers seems to be in a position
which would enable it to intervene with
out arousing the distrust and antagonism
of one or the other Of the belligerents.
An offer of mediation from Great Brit
ain, Japan's ally, would be obnoxious to
Russia. A similar offer from France,
the ally of Russia, would be equslly OBJ
noxious to Japan. The Kaiser's atti-
tude, which is generally understood to
be distinctly favorable to Russia, would
cause Japan to distrust any exercise of
mediatory powers on the part of Ger
many and probably of either Austria or
Italy, which are more or less under Ger
man influence. There remains the Unit
ed States, but there is at present in
Russia a strong disposition to regard
the American attitude as more or less
hostile.

Takushan and Siuyen. We shall not
learn what is really going on until
something happens, for the constant
shifting of advance posts hides per-
fectly the soldier movements behind
from the Russians, while the Japanese
censorship will permit no news to leak
out from their side. 1t is natural for
the war correspondents to be annoyed
at being so muzzled, but the event has
proved that the Japanese staff was
wise in its precaution. Japan feels
that it is fighting for its existence and
not for glory.

Auroki came to Liaoyang from

Nodzu pushed his carts up both sides

Now that the three armies have

Kikwang hills. They are strengthen
ing their positions at Palichwang, less
than a half mile from Rihlung, and
are steadily extending their parallel
trenches in the direction of the forts
from the north and northeast. These
two forts are examples of defective en-
gineering. Large shoulders Of earth
and rock ridge the northern slopes Of
the two hills. Immediately behind
theses shoulders are dead space
which cannot be reached by guns on
the top. The Japs have crawled up
by night to the dead spaces and in
this shelter have dug trenches. The
detachments occupying these positions
carry with them food, water and am
munition sufficient for three days.
Then they are relieved by night and
other detachments occupy the positions
for the next three days. The Russians
from above are pounding the shoulders
with shells in the hope Of breaking
them down and laying bare to their
fire the Jap positions behind. The plan
Of the Japanese is undoubtedly to re-
inforce enormously some night their
troops in the dead" spaces and then
try the forts by rush. The game is
hazardous enough.
If the japanese finally seize Rihlung
and Kikwang all the eastern defenses
will be under a cross fire from Xix
