London. March %. - A number Of
rumors are printed in the newspapers
here this morning, but they must be
accepted with great reserve. The
Telegraph's Tokyo correspondent ca
bles a newspaper report OF the Jap
anese occupation of Port Arthur after
a combined land and sea attack Sat
urday and Sunday. 1t Is asserted that
a division of Japanese landed on the
Lao Tung peninsula Saturday and
engaged the Russians near Port Ar
thur, while the feet bombarded from
Saturday evening until Sunday morn

O sharp encounter at Chiong Slong,
on the Yalu river. about 30 miles
northwest of Wiju, in which the Rus
slams lost 600 in killed and wounded.
The Chronicles Shanghai correspon-
dent hears from Newchwang that the
Japanese crossed Tatung pass, 40
miles from Hal Cheng, and that col
lisions occurred with the Russians.

Zhilinslsi's official confirmation of the
reports that the Russian outposts
abandoned Anju upon the approach Of
the Japanese in force causes no sur
prise here, as such action is in per-
feet accord with the Russian plan Of
campaign. The Russian skirmishing
and advanced posts were thrown for

back as the main body Of the enemy

The 80 miles of country between Anju
and the Yalu are very difficult for the

may be some lively skirmishing as
the Japanese advance progresses, but

There we're four voting machines in use
in this county in the last election, and as
far as we have learned all worked success
fully, as far as anybody knows The voters
pulled the levers they wanted to pull, in
full faith that the candidate of their choice
got another mark, because of their presence
in the machine, but not one of those who
pulled the lever could say that he cast a
.ballot for anybody.
The machine has one serious defect, and
that is that the election board and the chal-
lengers can detect every man who cuts his
ticket They are not able to tell whether
The voter pulls Republican, Democrat, or
any ether lever, but after the bell rings the
cutting is done, and it is dull election
officer who cannot detect the splitter.
We consider this a serious defect because
absolute secrecy of the ballot is destroyed.
AS we guage public opinion, it is opposed
TO the machine ballot.

The diagnoses of the late election are al
most as numerous as the participants, and
as impossible OF successful treatment by ex-

nearest that anybody can come to it, is

corn must be inteligently fed with I

There Have Been Greater Landslldes

In considering for purposes of comparison
the number of electoral votes which Presi-
dent Roosevelt is to have we should allow,
of course, for the increase in the size of the
Electoral College. It is true that be will
have the largest number ever given to any
candidate for his Office, but others have
received a larger proportion of the possible
total of their time. OF the 476 votes this
year the President will get apparently, u
Der cent. But of the $40 votes in 1872
General Grant received 81 per cent. ;of the
294 votes in 1868 the same candidate re-
ceived 70 per cant. of the 233 votes in
1864 President Lincolu received 81 per
cent. and Of the 296 votes in 1852 Frank
lin Pierce received Sc per cent. On the
electoral vote, therefore, there have been
worse beaten candidates than Parker.

Here is Henry Watterson's view of the
political situation:
Tuesdays election left the Republican
party strongly intrenehed in power and
riding upon all the currents which lead to
success. 1t will be bard to dislodge except
by great split or reyulsion. The Democrat
ic party, after being in power about half a
century, was wrecked on the oIigarchy of
slavery. The Republican party may be
wrecked by the oligarchy Of protection
How soon that may happen no man can
say now
1--WE can all see more or less clearly why
we were so badly beaten Roosevelt gained
the labor vote by his shrewd work with
labor organizations; he gained pretty much
the whole Hebrew vote by his action in the
matter Of the massacre of Jews in Russia
and he attraced TO the Republican party
for the first time IN its history the Catholic
vote by his treatment Of the Friars in the
Philippines. He had all these elements,
and besides, the support Of the trusts aud
the moneyed interests of the county

flne gold In Snake river sands. This
latest addition to the already long
list of inventors who have made big
claims born to unful Hllment. is T. L.
Gregg, an old prospector who makes
Ontario his headquarters, and whose
gold.savinR machine, he says, is the
result Of twenty years of study and
expeI iment.
The machine consists of q hopper.
a lead trough, and a concentrator and
amalgamator. A small model has
been operated with good success on
one of the bars off No Mans Island.
and the inventor is now making
preparations to construct larger
machine, with a nine-foot travel,
which he intends putting to work
on the same par, where he says there
is almost any amount Of pay gravel
available. With this big machine
he proposes to handle fifty tons of
gravel day, and he calculates that
to do this will require the services OF
