VERY TRYING TO RUSSIANS.
Lack of Official or Press Dispatches
From the Front.


st. Petersburg, Sept 9-The lack
of news from the front, either official
or newspaper dispatches, is very try
ing to the public In spite of the as
surances that General Kuropatkin's
army is out of danger no word from
Kuropatkin has been given out for
thirty-six hours and not single news
paper dispatch later than Sept. has
been received. The emperor has re-
ceived some additional details show
ing the tremendous difficulties encoun-
tered in accomplishing the retreat
over the mandarin road to Mukden,
from which it is easy to imagine the
horrible picture of the army and the
baggage and transport trains founder
ing northward over a road converted
by torrents of rain into river of mud.
An instance is given whore the wheels
of a gun drawn by six horses sank in
the mud up TO the breach. Four addi-
tional horses were harnessed to the
piece, but the ten horses We're unable
to bulge 1t.
The Russian rear guard is consid-
erably above Yentai, but there is no
exact information in regard to the
location OF General Kurokis main
army, the left wing of which has been
engaged in a more or less continuous
duel with the Russian batteries which
are covering the retreat. and no par
ticulars have been received "a the ex-
tent or character of this fighting The
general staff, however is of the opin-
ion that Kuroki's troops must be ex-
periencing almost as great difficulties
as the Russians and that they are too
exhausted to create serious menace
at present
While the public impression is that
Kuropatkin's army is continuing north
from Mukden no official admission to
this effect is obtainable.

QUESTION OF coNTRABAND.
Subject Discussed by the Gear and His
Advisers.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 9.-The ques-
ton of contraband of war; as con-
tanned in the American and British
notes, has been presented to the en-
peror by the commission which has
been considering the subject. There
were present the ministers for foreign
affairs, justice, marine and war. Min
lister Lamsdorff, who throughout has
been favorable to the American and
British contentious, made a strong ar
gument in support of his position and
was warmly seconded by M. Muravieff,
minister of justice. An opinion by
Professor de Martens, professor of in
ternational law at the University OF
ST. Petersburg, also favorable, was
presented No decision was reached,
but the emperor manifested his SYM
pathy with Count Lamsdorff's view
and at the conclusion of the audience
urged the advisability of prompt de-
cision In consequence of the en-
perors utterances the foreign office
is greatly encouraged and it is be-
lieved that a decision will soon be
reached.

Toxic, Sept 9.-The officers COM
mar-lirg the Japanese expedition sent
i'm to examine the wreck of the Rus
sian cruiser Novik report that she is
beaehed 900 yards southwest OF Korsa-
kovsk lighthouse. She has 30-degree
list to starboard and with the excep-
tion of a small portion of her bow she
is entirely submerged. Even on her
upper deck the water is knee deep in
the most shallow places. Her coming
tower and upper works were heavily
damaged by the Japanese she'll fire.
1t is impossible to ascertain definitely
the extent of the damage under water,
but evidently ii is considerable.
Russian land forces fired on the Jap
anese expedition while the examina-
tion was being made, but the expedi-
tion retired without sustaining any

REPORTED FROM WEiHAiWEI.
Firing at Sea Distinctly Heard at Chi
nese Port

Weihaiwei, Sept. 9.-Firing at sea
was heard here during the night and
boats outside the harbor claim they
saw flashes distinctly.
A British ship was among those
which investigated the firing. She re-
ports that seven ships were engaged
in the cannonade and that they
steamed away and disappeared upon
the appearance of the British vessel.
The vessels which went out from
here to investigate the firing report
that the flashes from the guns were
plainly visible. They were unable,
however, to ascertain whether the JAP
anese were firing upon Russian ships
which had escaped from Port Arthur
or upon Chinese junks. The activity
OF the Japanese in watching junks
makes the latter supposition the more
probable. Eighteen junks have been
captured by the Japanese during the
last few dayS.

Port Arthur the Russians placed Chi
nesc coolies in untenable positions
nearest the Japanese lines to draw
the Japanese fire and many Chinese
were killed or wounded. When the
Japanese advanced to assault the Chi

RUSSIANS NEED AMMUNITION.
Port Arthur Force Buying Old Unex-

Chefoo, Sept. 9.--Apparently we'll lin
formed Chinese who have reached Che
foo from Port Dalny report that the
Japanese army before Port Arthur lis
preparing to make another assault on
the fortress. Japanese agents here
are sending to Port Dalny 10000 gunny
sacks and are endeavoring to secure
10000 more. 1t is reported that the
sacks are to be filled with sand and
used to fill up portions of the moat
protecting the Russian right flank.
The Chinese report that the Rus
slams are paying SO cents each for un-
exploded shells manufactured for use
during the Chinese-Japanese war. The
persistency of this report during the
past two weeks entities it to consider
able consideration, as indicating a
shortage Of large ammunition at Port
Arthur.

st. Petersburg, Sept 9.-The Novoe

the appointment OF General Kuropat-
kin as commander-in-c chief of the Rus

as interfering with Kuropatkin's
plans.

Russian Army Moving North Without
interruption.

Mukden, Sept. 9.-The fighting has
ceased and the Russian transport and
army are moving without interruption.
There is much uncertainty concerning
the movements and purposes OF the
Japanese.
1t is impossible to say yet whether
there will be another battle here or
further north. General Kuropatkin
evidently is not seeking to renew the
battle, but if challenged he will not
decline an engagement.

 GREATEST NEWSPAPER.

The New York World has just cele- brated it's twenty-first birthday. Twen- ty-one years ago Joseph Pulitzer, its new proprietor, announced his pur- chase of the paper, and enunciated the splendid principles which should, from that day, govern the publication of the World. Below are the words over the name of the man who unfal- teringly for the past two decades, has lived to the line marked cut for the conduct of the newspaper which to- day is a world power, and the great est newspaper in America The fol- lowing are MT. Pulitzer's words:
 The entire World newspaper prop erty has been purchased by the under signed, and will, from this day on, be under diserent management-differe in men. measures and methods-dif- ferent in purpose. policy and princi- ple-di1erent in objects and interests different in sympathies and convic- tions-different in head and heart

EXACTLY so

It is perhaps useless to say any thing as 10 the advisability of send ing an instructed or an uninstruc.ad ed delegation to the national convention at St. Louis, for the way matters are shaping it may be predicted al most with certainty that if the Hearst people win at Tucson. the delegate to St. Louis will be instructed for him, but if the conservative forces control the delegation will go un pledged. but probably instructed to vote as a unite.
 As we have before pointed out. it would be folly for the Arizona demo- crats to instruct delegates to the na- tional convention for any particular candidate. The party in a territory has little influence at best in national affairs. and we would have none at all should We pledge our support to a candidate for the presidential nom ination in convention that promises 10 develop a contest. As soon as ;he Arizona delegation arrived in St. Louis and il became known that it was instructed, its influence would cease from that hour, and it's mem bers would be disastrous, too, if the delegation happened-as in this in stance it is almost certain it would be-to be pledged to a losing candi- date. Then the territory could hope for little recognition from the ad- ministration should the party be re stored to power at Washington.
 Again, to force instructions at Tue son would endanger party harmony and success in the November election at home. It would embitter the fac tional feeling which now exists in some parts of the territory. There are other good reasons why the Ar Fzona delegation ehould go to St Louis uninstructed, and it is to be hoped that the territorial convention will take this conservative and sen sible view of the matter.

RACE SUICIDE AND AMERICAN NATION.

The Chicago Journal. one of the best newspapers published in that city, has taken up the question, in which the President of the United States was the forecaster. Among other things it has to say is the following:
 Race suicide means, of course, the lessening of the number of children born to a race. No woman, it is de clared, can do her housework and raise a family. Twenty-Five dollars a week is not enough upon which to support a family. and, in Chicago. in clucing the districts of extremest poz crty. the average income of family is but $14. How can home be kept and children raised on such an in. come as that?
 "A convincing explanation, assured. ly. Who can doubt its soundness?
 Jet us visit one of the homes where the income is only s14 week. What do We find there? A buxom woman Mrs. Rafferty; cheap furniture and a half dozen healthy children. They are happy. A visit to a residence on the Lake Shore Drive is a natural Sc quence. There is luxury: the mistress never works, of course, but is quite fond of her single child-whenever she is at home"
 There is the point exactly. The Jour- nal selects the two extremes. Mrs. Rafferty, on Poverty Flats, and Mrs. Gotrox. on the Lake Shore drive. Mrs. Rafferty, strong, buxom woman, is do- ing all she can to multiply and replen- ish the earth, as commanded in holy writ. Mrs Lake Shore Drive resi- dent, avoiding it. But it is from neither of these sources that the great preponderant force of the American Nation must come. It is from the middle classes" must be depended for the population equilibrium, if the United States are to maintain their Americanism uncontaminated.
 It is beyond all question that many of the latter class are endeavoring to emulate milady Of the Lake Shore Drive, and there is a sure and certain reason for it. too.
 Motherhood is above ali else un- selfishness. The world-that is the glittering, selfish world, of seeing and being seen accepts maternity as self obliteration upon the part of the wom- an who is a mother, and with her child she has in the majority of instances accepted social death. With mother hood also comes seif-denial. Clothes for the children means fewer clothes for the mother, and curtailed liberty to do, to act, and to go when and where she pleases, unhampered by the voice of the little one who would prattle al her side.
 It means, to a great degree, the cut ting off of bonbons. and possibly plain CT jewelry. plainer menu for the ta ble, and the abstinence from the SO cial whirl of society, and hence ma ternity means self-sacrifice.
 All this the American woman rebels against it, and in it her husband usu ally concurs. The bonbons, the jewel ", the social engagements must come and children will only be in the way of obtaining and maintaining these The middle classes are not willing tC become the Mrs. Raffertys of Poverty Flat, and here We have the abstract oi the race suicide manifested clearly.
