WAR VIEWS OF EXPERTS.
The Defence of Port Arthur-Rus-
sian Strength in Manchuria.
100 - - nuRnAu. ]


washington, June 2.-Reduced 20 scientific
campaigning, the Russian scheme OF defence
OF Port Arthur Is conceived by the military
perts here to include at least one. and posi-
bly, two. series OF fortihcations before the in
vaders are permitted to reach the principal
works Military view is divided on the facility
with which the japanese should take the Rus
sian base hardly any one, however. accepts
seriously the announcement that the Japanese
intend to accomplish their purpose on June 10.
as stated in some Of the dispatches The Jap
anese are destined to encounter several obstacles
on their way to Port Arthur. such as that met
at Kin Chow. which some officers regard as
merely intended TO delay the progress OF the
japanese and deplete their force. II possible
This was achieved at least IN the latter respect
say those officers. The land attack on Port Ar
thur is believed to be planned in conjunction
with an engagement between the japanese ships
and the Russian forts at the same place, with.
perhaps, another attempt to bottle up the Rus
sian fleet thereby compelling the destruction
Of the vessels by the Russians.
The army officers here. who for the most part
have been OF the opinion that the Japanese
would not have as much success as they have
had, now entertain the theory that Kur0patkin
must betray his plans within the next week, If
he has any which can be put into operation.
The view is gradually gaining ground that the
Russians were not prepared at certain vital
points as well as they should have been. but
it is felt that they must certainly be in readi-
ness at Port Arthur. and ought TO be able. under
all the usual conditions. to Withstand the attack
of five times the strength OF the garrison. This
makes the incident Of investment a serious
problem for the Japanese. OF course. all this
reckoning is based on the supDosition that the
Russians have a reasonably adequate and we'll
equipped force at Port Arthur.
It was stated to-day at the War Department
that information in possession OF the Washing
ton authorities was to the effect that the Rus
SLAMS last September had only $4,000 men in
Manchuria, exclusive of the garrlsOns at Port
Arthur and VladivostOk. the strength OF which
was not known but which was then stated by
the Russians to be $4,000 at the former and
1900 at the latter. Since then It is all ques-
ton as to what extent the Russians have placed
soldiers in Manchuria. The estimates OF the ca
pacity OF the railroad vary from four to twenty
two trains day The latter figures are given
to the department by an American railroad ex-
pert. who was here this week and who was
believed to be IN position to know. because he
represented the French interests IN the trans
Siberian road and made a thorough examination
OF the property three years ago The conditions.
he says must have improved IN the mean time.
While it is a single track road. the sidings are
sufficient to accommodate two long trains and
facilitate the movements OF the through frelghts.

FTRE BOATS.

New.York has been exceedingly kind and lib
eral to New-Jersey in lending aid in the put
ting out OF extensive fires on the other side Of
the Hudson River. Undoubtedly this generous
succor will be granted cheerfully whenever It Is
needed. Nevertheless 1t may be suggested mod
estly that Jersey City and Hoboken can well af-
ford to buy more engines. to enlarge their fire
departments, and TO provide themselves with d
plentiful equipment Of steam tugs for fighting
flames, and that they ought not to get into the
habit Of invariably calling upon Manhattan for
help whenever property on the west shore Of
the Hudson is in danger.
Our Fire Department is always ready and
eager to do all it can for the benefit Of New1Jer-
sey. Suppose. however, there were big con-
fagrations on both sides Of the Hudson at the
same time-and that might happen any day or
night-how might Jersey City and Hoboken fare
then?

AYorHER MESSAGE FROM PRINcEToN.

Seeing the Parker raft drifting in a dan
Cerous side eddy, Mr. Cleveland CALAMITY tries
TO push It out again into the main current.
For a second time the ex-President announces
his belief that Judge Parker will be nominated
at st. Louis, and declares him the logical
candidate Of a "safe and sane Democracy"
This second statement from Princeton differs
little in form or substance from the first one,
made about two months ago. But it throws
an interesting light on the motives which
prompted the original Endorsement Of Parker.
At first. Mr. Cleveland tells us. he believed
that either ex-Secretary Olney or Judge Gray
would make Tho strongest candidate for the
Democracy to name for the contest with Mr.
Roosevelt" He mas not, in fact, altogether
surrendered that belief But the rapid spread
of the Hearst movement in the early spring
greatly alarmed him. He promptly gave up
any thought Of nominating Mr.. Olney or Judge
Gray, and aligned himself with those who were
urging Judge Parkers nomination This change
Of attitude was determined by Judge Parker's
more apparent availability. To the ex-Presi-
dent it seemed, two months or more ago, that
Democrats who desired Ito purge the party OF
that irrationalism with which It has been af-
"flcted in the last two Presidential campaigns"
must unite at once Ito stife the Hearst move
ment" 1t was no time for picking and choos-
ing candidates in their own ranks. Judge Par
ker had then gained a decided lead over
every other candidate acceptable to conserva-
tive Democrats SO Mr.. Cleveland without
hesitation proclaimed him the logical" choice
Of the conservative element
The motive OF Mr.. Cleveland's second eulogy
on Judge Parker is, however, not entirely OBJ
vious. Apparently he wants to give the Par
kef canvass a fresh impetus. He says that
there is at present "a lull in the Parker move
ment" But viii the message he sends from
Princeton at this juncture prove the surest
means Of Quickenng that movement? The ex-
President says in his interview that he does
not even now yield his original judgment"
which was that either Mr. Olney or Judge Gray
would make better candidate than Judge Par
ker. Nor does he seem to hold that Judge
Parkers success at Sc. Louis is in itself either
inevitable or Indispensable to Democratic sal
not" says the Sage OF Princeton 'his candi-
"dacy has been blessing to the party; for
'the energetic exploitation Of his name during
"the last year has made certain Democracy's
return to fundamental principles" The mis-
sion Of Judge Parker's candidacy was 10 'stife"
the Hearst boom. That mission having been
accomplished, those who read between the lines
OF Mr.. Cleyeland's letter may begin to wonder
70 what extent the cause Of ''safe and sane
Democracy Is stiIl bound up with Judge Par
ker's personal and political fortunes
1t IS clear that the radical Hearst-Bryan ele-
ment viii be in n minority In the Democratic
National Convention. The conservative and
neutral forces IN that body VIII name the Presi-

favorltes The delegates instructed for Mr..
Hearst are instructed for him without condi-
tons The Massachusetts State Convention di-
rected the Massachusetts delegates TO support
Mr. Olney until his name should be Withdrawn
''l,y proper authority" In Wisconsin the dele
gates are bound to vote for Mr.. Wall until his
name shall be withdrawn "by two-thirds vote
OF the delegation Nothing was said in these
States about conditions which might alter radi-
cally in FIVE or six weeks, or about reasonable
proba bilitfes" by which the action Of their dele
cations should be determined. This was not the
spirit IN which the '306' fought for Grants
nomination at Chicago in 1880 1t IS not the
temper in which men ever fight for q cause they
have at heart or for a candidate who has ava
kened their sense Of personal loyalty. Milk-and-
water Endorsements like that voted on Wednes-
day at Atlanta are a doubtful asset IN a politi-
cal canvass. They create no confidence; they
inspire no enthusiasm. They emphasize too I'M
pleasantly the prospect of defeat. A few more
such victories as that in Georgia, and Judge
Parker will find himself at the head Of a col
umn Of supporters less bent gu overwhelming
the enemy than on securing its own line Of
retreat.

other radical nomination laid, the conservatives
and moderutes may feel free to reopen the ques-

the Hearst boom seemed most threatening
Mr. Olney, Judge Gray, Mr.. German, ex-Gov-

faction. Some phrases in Mr.. Cleveiands in

Parker may be in need of a residuary legatee.
That is an emergency for which he is possibly
himself prepared. At any rate, his interview
may warn other conservative candidates to stand
duly Watchful

TEE eEoRaIA CONTENTION.

Judge Parker scored another victory on
wednesday in the Georgia convention. Resolu-
tons instructing for him were carried by a vote
OF l66 to 157. Georgia's twenty-six delegates
~ TO St Louis publicly pledged to second the
New-YOrz jurist in his struggle for the Presi-
dental nomination. Georgia's aid at this junct-
ure was vital to the Parker canvass. 1t is no
oxaggeration TO say that had Georgia refused to
instruct. the Parker boom would have been hope
leEsly punctured. Coming on tho heels Of South
Cardinals refusal 10 instruct and Alabama's
half hearted and ambiguous Endorsement. Geor-
gas detection would have shattered the last
prospect Of an Eastern-Southern stampede for
Parker at st. Louis. With Georgia held in line
some hope OF accomplishing that stampede still
fingers
It cannot be contended. however. that wednes-
days victory at Atlanta was either very de-
eisive o. very inspiring. Georgia was the one
Southern State conceded absolutely to Judge
Parker. A campaign IN HIS interest was begun
there early last winter, and three months ago
the state seemed earnestly and enthusiastically
devoted TO his fortunes. HIS candidacy was sup
ported by the chief newspapers in Georgia
The Atlanta Constitution THE Atlanta Jour
nal" ''The Savannah News" ''The Augusta
Chronicle" and "The Macon Telegraph" Both
Senators ten out OF eleven Representatives in
Congress and al the leading State officials were
warmly for Parker. The only public man Of
prominence not in the Parker "band wagon"
was the Hon. James n. Griggs, chairman two
years ago OF the Democratic Congressional Com
uittee. Yet IN the last two or three months so
decided reaction had set in that until the votes

4 NECESSARY POWER.

Certain builders and contractors appear 10 be
worried over the new buildings law amendment
passed by the aldermen at the instance Of The
Tribune and the Republican County Commit
tee. This law gives to the borough sllperln-
tendents Of buildings authority TO stop unsafe
work on structures in process Of erection. 1t
would have averted the Darlington disaster.
ITS all right" say these builders, "but sun.
pose an INSCRIPTIONS man is superintendent OF
buildings. He might use the power 70 on
press builders and contractors" That Is IN
doubtedly true, but It is one Of the necessary
risks OF our form of government. All discre-
tonary power is subject to abuse by corrrrnF
and incompetent officials However, we cannot
deny necessary authority to public officers
simply because some OF them would use it
wrongly. Under this principle all the processes
of government would have to be suspended.
All persons in a position to know hold that
the power granted by the new amendment is
necessary to the safeguarding Of building work
ers. 1t must. of course, be exercised with dis
erection and an eye single TO the public good
If any superintendent abuses it. the aggrieved
persons have a remedy with the courts and
with his superiors.
