General Kuropatkin has gone to the front

All the Russian wounded have been
sent back toward Lao Yang In order not

1t Is expected that the railroad VIII
play an important part In the EFFORT
Of Russians to push the Japanese Into the
sea as 1t will permit the rapid trahsporta-
ton OF troops Xxx
Tho general staff has not forgotten that
Japanese ships we're sighted May 3D.. off
Kaiping and siniuchet,, on tho west coast
Of the Lilac Hung peninsula. but these
two points could be readily covered, II
necessary from New Chwang.
An important advantage would accrue
to the Japanese should they succeed In
establishing themselves at Pltsewo From
there radiato roads connecting with the
Yang ri ,ricn, directly west to south
with sanchelipon and Kinchow stations
on the railroad nearer Port Arthur, north
with Kaping and northeast through
rakushnn with Feng Wang Cheng
A landing at this moment would make
It difficult for General Kuropatkin to con-
centrate formidable force against Gen.
Graf Kuroki. whose forward movement Is
not yet reported. Furthermore, once the
Japanese are across tho railroad, Port
Arthur will be as good MS besiegcd. A
member OF the general staff says that
General Kuropatkln Is we'll aware OF
these considerations. Even II the Japan.
csc should succeed In taking the rail-
road Port Arthur Is now ready to de-
pend on It's own resources.
Dispatches from Toxic telling Of cele.
brations over the sealing Of Port Ar.
thur, It Is stated, are premature official
advices establishing beyond question that
the attempt OF the yice-Admiral Togo to
seal the port failed.
The absence to press dispatches telling
OF the fight on the Yalu Is partially ex-
planned by the heavy mortality among
the correspondents. Three Of the
Novosti's correspondents are missing, and
1t Is believed they were killed, while the
Russians lost one OF It's correspondents.
The other journals are wiring to ascer.
tain IL their representatives are alive.

Warren Bros. Co. Interviewed.


After the meeting a Tilnes-D Dispatch
of Warren Bros. Company, and Mr..
DORM gave him two letters from New
port News officials, which are printed
here. 81 n
Mr. Dorm says there are several cities
where unpaved streets lntersect with
paved streets, and mud and dirt cannot 4
help being tracked upon the latter, bu
it is absolutely false that this pavement
because OF Its construction, becomes
dusty. Mr., James Donovan, superinten-
dent of streets Of Boston. says: THE
pavement is, perfectly satisfactory; is
easily cleaned. and we believe has a.
great future. We shall lay more of this
pavement this year"
Mr.. A. W. Dow. Inspector of asphalt
and cement for the District of Columbia,
says, under date of January d 1903:
II would state that it is still my BELIEF
that this pavement has more good quail
ties than any other In use to-day. Thu
above statement / made a year ago. anu
now repeat 1t, after having made u
careful study OF a number of these pave {
ments, not alone under construction, but
in use in all kinds OF traffic. The theory
upon which this pavement is constructed
is excellent, and its Introduction be-
lieve is an epoch-makins event In the
construction of bituminous pavements
There has never before been a pavement
that has been so generally accepted IN
so short a time, which fact goes to
prove the soundness and comprehensive
ness OF the theory upon which 1t Is CON-
structed.

Parker on Tariff Revision.

the people, and that the great mass of
American producers and consumers de-
niand a revision of the tariff that will
equalze the burden of taxation and dis
tribute equltably its benefits. He as
sured me that he Is In favor of reducing
customs duties wherever they shelter the
trusts and wherever they enable lawlcss
capital to wiring eXtortionate prices from
the consumer. Judge Parker told mo
that he regarded that feature of our
tariff system as little less than crlmi-
nal. nor would he stop there. He In
sists that wherever American manufac-
turers are by means of monopollstic
tariff enabled to sell their articles abroad
more cheaply than at home, or rather,
IRE permitted to charge at home prices
higher than those accepted abroad then
the duties on all such articles should be
reduced so as to correct the injustice to
the American consumer.
An Ideal Man.
Judge Parker is physically an almost
ideal specimen of American manhood.
I suppose in any company he would be
nbundantly able to take care of himself.

he is always ready for it; and the law
that has ruled his life in this respect as
an Individual would rule the life of this

analysis, not In armies or In navles, hut

going South for, n number Of years, and
I never return from there without a feel
ing that the South has had It's great
sorrows and without being conscious of
their colossal tragedy. The Industrial de.
velopment OF that section In the last
thirty years Is one Of the marvels of our
history. Only few weeks ago, when
was at Esopus was talking with Judge
Parker about tho problem that vexed
social. political and Industrial life Of the
Southern people. and he said to ms,
Elliott, they a era great people; they
are the countrymen Of Washington and
Jefferson and Madison and jackson and
Lee. Their courage and their constancy
have never failed. They have changed
velvet for homespun and endured the
pinch OF honorable poverty and are Just
now beginning to reap the reward OF
their great sacrifices.
'''I have Implicit faith In their ability
to solve rightly and righteonsly the diff
cult problems with which they are con.
fronted, and believe it Is the duty Of
their countrymen at the North tospermit
them to solve those problems unnolested
by irritating political interference from he
outside, and Judge Parker proceeded to
elaborate that idea. / want to say that
the Democrats Of New York have been
greatly encouraged by the disposition OF
Southern Democrats to bury past

nized the magnanirnous temper of the
South in this matter. and we have pre-
sented Democrat who represents the
highest ideals of the party and of the
country. 1t is exceedingly gratifying that
the choice of the New York Democracy
is receiving the almost unanimous sup
port of Democrats in the South and
West. Judge Parker will unquestionably
be nominated. and New York will give
him majority that will knock all other
