Cleveland for Parker

New York, April 6. In a dispatch
from Princeton, N. j., to the World,
former President Cleveland is quoted
as finding a movement looking to the
nomination CT Judge Alton B. Parker
for the presidency the greatest posi-
BILE relief and satisfaction. Mr.. Cleve-
land is further reported to have said
II do not see how anyone protesting
to be a real intelligent democrat can
hesitate to accept Mr. Parker if he
should he nominated as fit represen-
tative of safe and conservative demo
cratic principles entitled to hearty
and nnreserved democratic support"
According to the Worlds correspond

platform Of his party this year.

London-The times this mornin
publishes dispatch, giving the details
of the attempt of Admiral Togo to bottle
up Port Arthur harbor on Sunday last.
The dispatch is dated cat sea in Korea
Bay" and was sent by wireless to
Wei-Hal-Wel.
The dispatch says that the part OF
the affair which resulted in the sink
ing of four more merchantmen in the
neck of the marrow west channel OF the
entrance of Port Arthur was an enter
prise which, for most desperate and
gallant seamenship, would appear to
have no parallel in modern times.
Four ships were escorted by the fleet
until they got near Fort Arthur: then,
under of night, they were sent forward
to effect their hazardous enterprise, es'
corted by destroyers and torpedo craft,
The Chyo Maru led. steering in
straight line, with search light full

guns toward the erst side of the en-
trance. A fuse was set and the crew
and enineers pushed off just in time
There was moment of suspense, wher
abe charge exaloded in the hold, sink
ing steamer about 100 yards from th'
point at the east side of the entrance.
The Fukui Maru, next in line, pass
ed on the port side of the Chyo Marn
and let go her anchor. Just as har Of
ficers and crew pushed clear there wal
dull explosion. The vessel had beer
struck and sunk in the exact place thu
Japanese desired by Russian torpedo
fired from within the harbor. SO clos
indeed, were the defending destroyer
that the Venemaya Maru, the fourtl
transport, fouled Russian destroyer
and her creM were scorched by FAM
from the discharge of Russian six
FOUNDER.
There was horrible melee, but tn
japanese kept their presence of minC
all through it. In spite Of heavy COZ
verging crots fire, the Japanese de
stroyers were able to pick up all life
boats, and none of the crew Of trans
ports were drowned.
It will be seen that this bold enter
prise, Notwithstanding the overpower
ing risks, only failed completely t
block channel because there were onl
four transports. However, it is prsba
BILE that channel has been rendered in
passable for the larger Russian ships
OF this we may be confident, the ia
anese will not rest until the channel

Judge Parker by Creelman.

Mr.. James Creelman has been to AL
bany, where Judge Judge Parker has
his official habitat, and has written for
the New York World charter sketch
of Democracy's next nominee for Pres
dent. Here are few striking para
graphs from his article:
Judge Parker is six feet tall and
man of giant strength. His shout
pers are broad aud his chest deep. His
muscles, developed by hard work on
the farm and by daily horseback riding
are the muscles of an athlete. He
slopes perfectly as a man should, from
his shoulders to his feet, and in spite
of his nearly fifty-two years and his
weight of 1876 pounds his step is as light
as boys and he can vault into the
saddle with ease.
Nowhere in the face or head is there
suggestion of craft. Nor is there any
thing sidewise or sly in his eyes. They
look at you straight The practical
and logical dominate the imaginative
qualitives impulse is slave to will.
careful estimate of Judge Parker's
wealth places the value OF all his posses
sions at about $50, 900. This property
he has acquired mostly by saving and
good business judgment. His farm at
Cortland came to him by his farmer "a

along its burrows as a boy.

bench he has ignored politics. In 1885,
and 1900 he voted for Mr.. Bryan, bu

sound money man and merely accepted
the will of the majority in his party.
Kindness of heart, frmness of will

WAR VS.. CHRISTIANITY
Rev. Wallace NuttIng Delivers interesting
Sermon Says War Is legaIiled Murder

At the Union Congregational church last
evening, Rev. Wallace Nutting preached
most interesting sermon on War VS..
Christianity" He said in part:
IF ever a war might have been ex-
pected TO have the saction Of God 1t was
the war OF the Crusades. which was
brought against the inhdels for the pur-
pose OF rescuing from them the Holy Sc
pulchre. But God did not smile upon
this war and Il failed. Historians believe
that the war OF the Crusades was great
mistake. and that civilization went back
several centuries IN consequence OF IL.
Every age has had its great work to
accomplish. and that OF this one Is en-
godied I'm the ending OF wars and OF the
ending of the herding in cities. The last
age had as its task the abolishment OF
slavery. and Il was accomplished so that
IL remains for this one 10 bring about tho
ending OF wars The object for which
wars are brought can always be accom-
plished I'm peaceable way, and II 's left
for us IN this age to see 10 10 that what
ever quectons may arise are settled with
out resort 10 arms"
Rev Nutting said that war was In the
majority of cases, only lcgalized muir
