SAY IT Is MADE EASY
FOR GEN. KUR0PATKIN.

St. Petersburg, May Lieut.. Gen.
Stoessel will have supreme command
at Port Arthur He is described as
high class commander. His recent
proclamations show that he is imbued
with a determination to hold Port Ar
thur until the last man is killed.
Officers of the general staff say that
the landing of the Japanese army on
the peninsula and the investment of
Port Arthur clarity the military stu
alton, and the problem Gen. Kuropat-
kin must solve. Had Kuropatkin had
his way before the war, it is said, he
would have abandoned Port Arthur.
withdrawn further to the north and
waited until his army had become
Overwhelming in its strength, when he
would have moved forward, but this
was made impossible in consequence
of the injuries sustained by the Port
Arthur fleet and the impossibility of
the departure of the fleet from Vladi-
vostok with a superior Japanese force
outside that port. Therefore, the COM
mander-in- chief is waiting at Lao
Yang until the enemy's plans shall
have developed sufficient to show just
what line it is proposed. to pursue.
Caution forbade an attempt in force
to prevent Gen. Kuroki's passage of
the Yalu. as the troous landed at
Pitsewo might have been diverted to
take the Russians on the flank or in
the rear.
Now that the uncertainty is par
TALLY dispelled, Gen. Kuropatkin, from
the interior lines, is free to act. That
he proposes to move theoretically is
shown by the fact that he has sent
reinforcements to Feng Wang Cheng.
The indications are that he intends
Immediately to assume the aggressive
and to strike Gen. Kuroki's army be-
fore the latter can be reinforced
through Korea. 1t is not anticipated
that the Japanese will march north
ward, but it is believed they will de-
vote their energies to effect the fall
of Port Arthur.
The receipt of news at any time of
a decisive battle near Feng Wang
Cheng will not cause surprise here,
and already rumors are circulating in
the city, which however, lack verifl-
cation, and are believed to be untrue,
that battle has been fought; that
the Japanese have been defeated with
heavy loss and that Gen. Kuropatkin
was wounded.
Another rumor is in circulation that
Port Arthur has been captured, but
this also is secuted in responsible
quarters

Tariff Issue Suits Republicans.
The Republican leaders are delighted
at the prospect of having the tariff
issue the leading question in the COM

his Protectionist friends who are sup
posed to be coaching the President
for the coming race, are daily offer
ing up their thanks to Diety for the
advent of Bourke Cochran in the House
of Representatives on the Democratic
side.
Before the coming of Cochran, the
Republicans were destitute of a fight
ing issue. Cockran's wild, pregnable
declarations in favor of free trade,
gave the Republicans the opportunity
to appeal to the captains of industry
for aid and comfort when the cam
paign hat is passed around.

propose to make their fight along the
lines of economy in the public eXpendi-
