General Protests Against Nathan

0enerat Frotests Against Nathan
Strauss Wish for Universal Peace.
New York, Sept. 1.-The corner stone
of monument to be erected in Salem
Fields cemetery, Cypress Hills, l.. T.. IN
honor of Jews who lost their lives in
defense of the union, was laid yester-
day. Nathan Strauss, chairman of the
auxiliary committee of the Hebrew
Union Veteran Association, presided.
In the course of his remarks Mr..
Strauss referred to a time when war
will be reckoned a survival of barbar-
ISM" This brought a protest from
Major General Daniel e. Sickles, retir-
ed, who lost a leg at Gettysburg. Cen
Sickles said
v "Altho we are assembled in ceme-
terry this is not a funeral occasion. No
ones country. know many think with
our chairman, Strauss, that wars are
dreadful, but we have had wars since
the world began, and we shall always
have WARS.
In the providence of God war was
ordained, and the human race will all
ways fight for what it loves. This ma
ton was founded thru war. Would
George Ill have agreed to arbitration
to let us found an independent govern
ment? No. We have liberty because
our fathers fought seven years for in
dependence, and we will always have
to fight to maintain our freedom.
Il hope the time will never come
when we shall cease to be a martial
people, or be unwilling to take up arms
in defense of our country. In the day
we are unwilling to fight for our liber-
ties we shall surely lose the respect
Of the world

NOMINEE DAV|&
MAKES A SP|E[
Addresses a Large Crowd at the
West Virginia State
Fair Today
A JOLLY FOR THE POOR FARMERS
His Address Was Supposed to be Nom
Political, but He Takes Occasion to
Tell What He Did to Help the Agri-
culturist When He Was in the Unit
ed States Senate.

Wheeling, w. Va, Sept. 7.-Ex- Sem
ator Henry G. Davis delivered an nom
political address on agriculture" be-
fore an immense crowd at the state
fair here this afternoon.
In the course of his short talk Davis
referred to agriculture as mans nat
ural occupation and the most important
and useful to mankind. The agricul-
turalist has always been found in the
advance guard of the march of civili-
zation, and nearly all who worked and
fought for our independence and liberty
were tillers of the soil, nearly all of
our early presidents have been farmers
and the majority Of our successful men
of today came from the farms. The
farmers as a class, are liberty loving
people.
Our agricultural products feed us at
home and pay much of our foreign debts.
Between so and 20 per cent of all our
exports are from the farm. The total
value of all farm products in the Unit
ed States in '03 was $4,000,OOO.O0O, or
about four times the value of all our
mineral products. The value of the
corn crop dlOLS was dpOoI ClueAi w liz
entire mineral product of the nation.
Our government expends annually over
twenty times more for war than for
agriculture, and the farmers pay d
larger share of the taxes than any other
of the occupations. When / was a
member of the United States senate
made speech calling attention to the
neglect of the agricultural interests by
the national government, and upon my
motion a bill passed the senate maxi
ing the agricultural bureau a depart
ment A farmer can live we'll and pros
per without towns and cities, but the
people Of the towns ana cities soon
starve if the farmer does not feed
them.''

BULLETIN.

st. Petersburg. Sept. THE bulk OF
the Russian Manchurian army is near
Mukden, where, it now appears, Kur-
opatkin has been since Monday. His
troops. it is understood, are not enter
Ing the city, but are taking up prepared
positions around Mukden. While there
is no specific information on this point
the general staff believes that only a
small rear guard is In the neighbor-
hood Of Yentai. No further fighting of
Importance is expected south Of Muk-
dem The critical stage is regarded as
having passed and announcement is
made this afternoon that the war Office
will no longer give out two bulletins

FAIRBANKS ON SHIPPING TRADE.
Says Republican Party Is Pledged to
Upbuild the Merchant Marine.

Upbuild the Merchant Marine.
Brunswick, Me-, Sept. 7.-Senator
Fairbanks, in speech here yesterday,
said that the republican national con-
vention directed attention to the i'm
portance of upbuilding the American
merchant marine; that the country
had under republican control increased
the foreign commerce in recent years to
high degree. Last year it reached
s2,45O.0 100000.
"Only about per cent of our COM
merce with other countries is carried
in our, own vesels," he said, "and under
the protection of our own flag. This is
certainly not good business judgment.
There was something wrong about it.
There is no good reason why the
United States should be so entirely de-
pendent upon foreign vessels for carry
ing it's commerce.
This is an important question, and
it rests with the republican party to
settle it. The republican party will
solve it as it has solved all great ques-
tions, in way to promote American in
dustry and in manner consistent with
the national honor"

KI]POpATKIN 0UTRUNS The JAPS;
HIS ARMY Is NOW AT MUKDEN
WAR SITUATION TODAY.

WAR SITUATION TODAY.
The st. Petersburg authorities today
expressed themselves as confident that
the critical stage of the Russian retreat
is passed and that kuropatkin is no
longer in danger of losing any part Of
his forces to the pursuing Japanese. It
is also given out in st. Petersburg that
the bulk Of kuropatkin's army is now
near Mukden, where it has taken up
prepared positions, but the dispatches
to the Associated Press from Mukden,
filed yesterday, says the main Russian
army was then pushing norshward and
evacuating Mukden.
While the details Of the situation are
lacking, the dispatches indicate the
Japanese are still harassins the Rus,
sian rear. Kuropatkin is now at Muk-
den.. Toxic preserves an attitude of si-
lence regarding the operations of today
and yesterday......

.KuRoPATKlN AT 5MukDEN,
Main Russian Army Believed to Have
Escapsd oyamass Clutches.

~ AHc s90 ~ esHsss = =
ST. Petersburg, Sept. -Kuro patkifs
. has arrived at Mukden. From latest
adyices the war Office now believes the
i danger Of oyama cutting OF Kuropat-
! kin has practically passed. According
to their calculation the whole Russian
Army could reach Mukden tomorrow
night. Kurolki and Kuropatkin have
been marching northward along par
alleI lines, both armies being greatly
hampered by heavy roads, the Japan
ese In rough region and the Russians
along a fiat country, but embarrassed
) by high Chinese corn, which prevented
marching on the side of the main
roads, No difficulty is being exper-
I fenced at Hun river, a few miles south
OF Mukden, where bridges have been
provided for crossing the stream.
There has been constant fighting at the
Russian rear and along the eastern
wing, but as far as known by war Office
nothing of Importance has occurred
since the retreat began. The general
staff naturally is reticent about Kuro-
patkin's plans, especially whether he
Intends to stop at Mukden. His de-
cision probably will depend on the in
tentions OF the Japanese. Contingent
preparations will probably be made to
evacuate Mukden and there is ccnsid-
erable evidence that Kuropatkin, if
compelled to go north, will make a
stand at TELLING, where the Russians
wintered last year. Telling is forty
miles north of Mukden. At this point
there is narrow defile, with Liao
River on one side of the mountains
running almost down to the railroad
on the other. -
The report that the sailing Of the
Baltic squadron has been postponed
until November is officially denied as
also is the report that several ships
composing it developed defects. The
squadron will sail for Libau Sunday.
Recall Ouktomsky.
Altf1o the report that Rear Admiral
Ouktomsky, in command of the Rus
sian fleet at Port Arthur, is to be
court martialed, is untrue the admiral
ty has decided to recall him. probably
placing Captain Wren, of the armor
ed cruiser Bayan in command.
It has been realized all along Ouk-
tomsky lacked the requisites of COM
nlander Of a fleet under such difficult
ties, but owing to the impossibility Of
sending flag officer to Port Arthur he
was allowed to remain in command.
The admiralty was greatly dissatisfied
with his action in returning to Port
Arthur August 10 in the face of the
order of the late Admiral without not
to do so and this led to the decision
to supplant him.
Praise kuropatkin.
AS Russian newspapers begin to
realize more fully the catastrophe
which Kuropatkin averted at Lao
Yang and the skillful manner in which
he upset Oyama's plan to surround
the Russian army they take more
cheerful view of the result and are be-
ginning to bestow upon Kuropatkin
great praise.
No further details of the losses suf-
fered by Russians during the ten days
fighting have been received. How long
the roll Of casualties ultimately will be
can be estimated by the official report
