ARE GREATLY DISTURBED
Russian Newspapers See Danger In
Coming Buddhist Pilgrimage.
WANDERING Iinmas said to BE
SPREADING ALI.IsoA An.""$ bd""-
hfsts In Mongolia and Chinn'

st. Petersburg, Sept. 21.-It is rather
British expedition to Thibet and tho
protest of Russia against the British
Thibetan treaty some OF the Russian
papers have suddenly become greatly
disturbed over the Importance OF the
Buddhist pilgrimage to Mouran in Feb
ruary. According to information which
has been drifting eastward from the
depths of Mongolia the agitation for a
holy war noted at the time of the pill
grimage to Ourga, in July last, contin-
ues. Wandering Llamas are spreading
the agitation not only among Budd-
hists In Mongolia, but among the fol-
lowers Of Buddha in the Altai regions
Of central China, among The Russian
Buriats and even beyond the Siberian
borders and In India. According to re-
| ports at Ourga there is a general agi-
tation among the Buddhists in favor
Of freeing themselves from the domi-
nation of China, some of chem favoring
the removal of the dalai llama to
northern Mongolia and entering on a
holy war for the establishment Of a
| Buddhist kingdom, while others advo-
cate appealing for the protection of
Russia. What effect the British expe-
dition and the deposition of the dalai
llama will have on the movement is
the subject of much speculation. The
| Journal De St. Petersburg says 1t Is
very possible that the February pill
grimage may compel Russia to attach
| serious attention to the situation.
1--WE may expect developments of the
greatest Importance" the paper adds,
"and should be prepared for any event
uality."

JUDGE PARKER'S TELEGRAM
Facts Regarding It's Transmission to
st. Louis Which Can Be Main
tanned by Proofs.

The Brooklyn Eagle is in a position
to affirm and to maintain by proof
these facts:
That Alton Brooks Parker wrote the
famous gold standard dispatch TO Will
liam F. Sheehan. then in st. Louis, on
Saturday morning, July 9. at II
o'clock, and sent the same from the
Esopus telegraph station.
That the dispatch was so written
and so sent on Judge Parker's OVID
initiative, without consultation or com
munication with a single soul.
That the dispatch was not written and
sent in pursuance of a pre-arrangement
and that those who advocated and ad-
vanced his cause in st. Louis had no
foreknowledge of 1t.
That Judge Parker reached his deter
mination to send the dispatch after he
had been informed by the New York
papers of Saturday morning, and by
that means alone, and had comprehend
ed in its entirety the situation as to the
platform in st. Louis.
That Judge Parker die not anticipate
or foresee the final action of the COM

oped on Friday and Friday night at st.
Louis, until eight o'clock Saturday
morning; that during the 80 hours pre-
ceding the sending Of the dispatch he
had no communication whatsoever with
any leader of the New York delegation,
with any leader in the convention, or
with any person of that convention or
with any person in the east on any mat
ter which could be construed as po-
litical.

WE'LL KEEP OWN COUNSEL
Foreign Governments Are Learning
TOO Much of the Workings of

Washington, Sept. 21.-Because it Is
believed that foreign governments are
learning entirely too much regarding
the inside workings of the American
navy and are picking from the annual
reports of the bureau chiefs too much
information which should he of a o n
1dential character, a change will be
made this year in the preparation Of

Of the bureau chiefs.

Cause Of the Gold Outflow.

Gold continues to go out of the u
try. When the democrats were In power
.he republican organs shrieked them
selves hoarse over such a terrible ca
lamity. They couldn't think of any
thing else. They writhed and frotheo
and grew hysterical and had all sorts
of nightmares and fits. Now, the fact
is that republican management--bad
management-has caused this outflow.
Ihe gold will come back, but not under
present copdttions.-Indianapolis Senti-

Herod in. his attempt to hleniliate the
South and to resurrect issues that
were long since buried. Let the De-
mocracy of Mississippi manifest its in
terest, because we are deeply inter
ested, by doing two things:
First-Let the members OF the va
rious county Democratic executive
committees go to work and organize
in their respective towns, villages and
country voting precincts, Parker and
Davis clubs. The object of these clubs
to be the raising Of a campaign fund
to be used in the doubtful States and
in bringing to the polls the full vot
ing strength of Mississippi. The Ma
lional committee needs the funds In
order to pay the legitimate expenses
of this campaign. Mississippi must
rot be a laggard in contributing. Let
every Democrat in the State give
something, be it much or little, to-
wards encompassing the defeat of the
Republican party, and especially 1ts
II esent candidate for the presidency.
Let these clubs see to it that the
entire Democratic vote Of the State Is
I oiled in the November election. This
should be done for many reasons,
among them because the Republican
organization is constantly using the
small vote which we poll as a reason
and argument why our representation
in congress should be reduced.
Now, this work must be done, and
it must be a work Of love for the
barty and for the principles which it
stands for. If the county committees
have not organized, let them do so at
once, and let each county committee
go to work to carry out the above
plans. Let each chairman Of the
county committees call a meeting, or
ganize and put the members to work
along the above lines. Let the De.
m0cracy of Mississippi not be found
wanting. Let it do its duty now. as
il has in the past, and when the fight
is over, and the victory is won, each
snd every Democrat in the great State
Of Mississippi will feel that he has
been a factor in the fight, a helper in
the victory.
The State committee cannot do all
of this work, so let every one do his
full duty, and the victory will be ours

The democratic state convention as
sembles here tomorrow and many del
egates and party leaders are already
on the ground. The convention prom
ises to be one of great interest, as the
delegates to be chosen to the national
convention will be practically the first
selected by any western state. At all
the recent county conventions the
Hearst interests have manifested
great activity and those in charge of
his campaign in South Dakota are con-
fdent today that the state convention
will declare in his favor. The adOp-
ton of Hearst resolutions by the South

important as it may be expected to
have its effect in influencing the con-
ventiOns to be held later in North
