DENIES THAT RUSSIANS
LOST TWO DESTR0YERS.

St. Petersburg, May 30.-The Admir-
atty denies the reports of the loss Of
two Russian torpedo boat destroyers,
while laying the mines which destroy
ed the Japanese battleship Hatsuse.
The officials say Port Arthur has been
heard from since the Hatsuse was
blown up, and if the report of the loss
of the torpedo boat destroyers was
true they would have known it.
No surprise is expressed by the Ad-
miralty at the Toxic report of the evil
dence contained in intercepted Russian
dispatches that the Hatsuse was blown
up by Russian stationary mines. The
officials decline however, to comment
on the subject except to reiterate their
denial of the charge that the Russians
used floating or driving" mines, which
the officials have insisted on from the
outset.

WAS REALLY NOT A
JAPANESE VICTORY

ST. Petersburg, May Boa semi-of-
fetal telegram from Mukden, dated to-
day, says:
owing to the impossibility Of de-
Tending the position southward Of Kin
Chou without the aid of the fleet, the
Russian defense at that point was only
of a demonstrative character. The
defending force was armed with guns
taken from the Chinese in 1900 and had
little ammunition. The occupation OF
the position by the japanese at a
great cost to themselves does not alter
the situation"

WHAT MUST WE Dot

The Evening Journal, which
tries to be the exponent of Anti
Addicksism comes out in an edi-
torial this week claiming that
such men as Winfield S. Quigley,
Fred. E. Bach and Horace G..
Knowles have no right to go to a
Republican State Convention.
Why not also include Anthony
Higgins, William S. Hilles, and
hundreds of others. The three
first named represent different
opinions as to the proper course
to pursue in the present factional
fight. But not one of them
agrees with the Journal. Conse-
quently they have no rights as
Republicans. There are many
Republicans in this county who
are not in accord with the pres
ent leadership, but are keeping
quiet and permitting the leaders
to drift along. In the two lower
counties the same condition pre-
walls. In both cases, these men
(honest, sincere Republicans)
are voting the Republican and
Union Republican tickets re-
spectiyely because one or the
other represents the stronger
local organization and has a
chance to win. Mr.. Addicks
gives as the standard of Union
Republicanism the single desire
to place J. Edward Addicks in
the United States Senate first,
last and all the time" The EUen-
ing Journal plainly intimates that
the standard Of Republicanism
is a blind obedience to the die
tates of the Journal. The mass
of voters who have in the past
voted for the candidates of one
or the other and who cannot,ac-
cept the platform of either will |
be left without political home. |
THE TRANSCRIPT has been OBJ
posed to Mr.. Addicks' aims and |
methods from the beginning and
is now. But we do not accept, |
nor do we believe that the solid |
Republicans of this county will
follow the leadership of the Jour-
nal. A "boss" named Smith is
no better than one named Jones.
There is such a thing as driving
men away from the organization,
and frankly we believe that Mr..
Addicks has no better ally albeit
IN unwilling one than the Euen-
ing Journal in its present frame
If mind.

MARYLAND,s LEGISLATURES.

"Mr. German may feel proud
of the work of the Maryland
Legislature, but the good people
of that State deeply regret its
shameful record. Mr.. German
was most interested in legislation
to make the State Democratic,
regardless of the votes cast. A
long step has been taken in that
direction, but, fortunately for
the honor of the State, it was not
approved by Governor Warfield
and may yet be defeated.
"Another measure contem-
plated by the German machine,
that of reducing Republican re-
presentation on the election
boards, had to be abandoned,
owing to the opposition of the
Governor. Still another one,
which abolishes the party desig-
nation on the ballot in eleven
counties only, was passed, but it
may not receive the Governors
signature. 1t is shameful piece
of partisan legislation, and is de-
signed to make it difficult for
colored men to vote. If it ap-
piled to the entire State the Gov
ernor might perhaps approve it,
but as it is confined to a few
counties only he will, if he shows
the same spirit that governed
him in consideration of the
shameful constitutional amend
ment, veto it. What record for
a Legislature to make in such a
State as Maryland!
"The bill to enable oysters to
be cultivated in the barren bot
toms of Chesapeake Bay was
passed, but in an amended form so
as to rob it of much of its value.
The session, as a Democratic
newspaper says, was :" chiefly
noted for the fact that it will ex-
ceed all records for extrava-
gance." The Democrats passed
D ridiculous Jim Grow" law
and other legislation of that kind,
with their extravaganza,
will not make a very good record
IN which to appeal to the
7oters-"Phil0. Press.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.

Delaware is we'll supplied with
Rural Free Delivery mail routes.
We call to mind without an ex-
animation of the records, Mar
shallton, Hockession and Newark
in the Northwestern part of the
state; New Castle, Porters,
Townsend, Clayton, Dover, Wy
oming, FELTON,, Harrington,
Pennington, Bridgeville, Sea-
ford, Laural and Delmar on the
Delaware Railroad. This leaves
the country around Middletown
as about the only territory not
covered. Wherever put in opera
tion this system has given uni
versal satisfaction, AS with all
changes, there was at first some
complaints. These have all been
proven to be without foundation.
Itoccurs to us that there is no
section better adapted to Rural
Free Delivery than this, and we
believe that it could be secured
with little effort. The appro-
priations for the fiscal year be-
ginning July 1st, 1904, will soon
be available and are much larger
than last years. At least three
routes could be served from Mid
dletown covering practically all
of st. Georges Hundred and the
southern part of Cecil County.
It will take some work to secure
this change, and it remains to be
seen if the people of the rural
districts desire to have their
mails brought to them and col
lected from them daily, and if |
they want it enough to ask for it |
The demands on the Post Office
Department for the establish |
ment of these routes is great, |
more, in fact, than the appro-
priations will permit to be
granted. Still, Delaware has
two United States Senators and |
one Representative and with the
aid OF the Maryland delegation
we think these routes could be
secured. At least, it is worthy
a trial.
