 London, May 6.--viceroy Alexiefr's departure from Port Arthur Is Inter preted here to mean that the place ia m imminent danger Of isolation and the Japanese preparations for landing are considered as confirming the belief that Port Arthur has been sealed up probably by two of the sunken ships which Russia failed to locate. In this connection. attention is drawn to the discrepancy between the Russian and Japanese accounts of the attempt to bottle up the port, the former stat Ing that 1t occurred about { o'clock in the afternoon. It is suggested that there may have been two seperate at- tempts. each time with ten ships. It will be remembered that 1t has been previously reported that Japan pre- pared twenty vessels for this purpose and if this explanation is correct, the Russian accounts referring only to the early morning affair may be Justified in asserting that 1t was unsuccessful. It is supposed that the Japanese will Arthur before the arrival of Admiral Skrydioff

 Faith in This Section.
 "I have implicit faith in their abil- fly to solve rightly and righteously the dif1cult problems with which they are confronted and I believe it Is the duty of their countrymen at the North to permit them to solve those problems unmolested by political interference from the outside and Judge Parker proceeded to elaborate that idea.
 "I want to say that the Democrats of New York have been greatly en- couraged by the disposition of South ern Democrats to bury past differences and to unite upon a candidate who Is free and removed from the personal animosities enEendered among Demo- crats throughout the last twelve years We have recognized the magnanimous temper of the South in this matter. and we have presented a Democrat who represents the highest ideals of the party and of the country. It is ex- ceedingly gratifying that the choice of the New York Democracy Is receiving the almost unanimous support of Dem ocrats in the South and West. Judge Parker will unquestionably be nomi- mated and New York will give him majority that will knock all other ma jorities out of sight and almost out of memory.

has been informed of the presence of | Japanese feet oR the Llao Shan promontory, and the appearance of transports at Pitxewo.
 ,f The fact that the two event soccur- red simultaneously may have signifi- canoe. If landing should take place | at Pitzewo, 1t is anticipated that Togo's battleshfp souadron will bombard Port Arthur in order to prevent the garrison from sending reinforcements by raii- road to the troops opposing the Japa- nese there. Neither the admiralty nor the war office believes that dfsenn- barkation of the Japanese can be pre- vented. as the guns of the Japanese cruisers could command the point of landing. but after the Japanese are ashore. the Russians then will strike. and the officers here say will strike hard What force they will be able to bring up to resist the invaders cannot be stated definitely. the strength of the army on the peninsula of Liao Tung

 An important advantage would ac-, crue to the Japanese should they suc- ceed in establishing themselves at Pitt xevo.

 A landing, at this moment would make 1t difficuit for General Kuropat- kin to concentrate . formidable force against General Kuroki. whoso forward movement is not reported Furthermore, once the Japanese are across the rai1- road. Port Arthur will be as good as besieged.
 A member of the general stan says that General Kuropatkin Is well aware of these considerations Even if the Japanese should succeed in cutting the railroads. Port Arthur is now ready to depend on its own resources.
 Dispatches from Tokio telling of celebrations over the sealing of Port Arthur. 1t is stated, are premature. Of- ficial advices establish beyond question that the attempt of Admiral Togo. May 3. to seal the port failed.
 The absence of press despatches tel- ling of the fight on the Yalu is par tially explained by the heavy mortal- ity among the correspondent. Three of the Novosti's correspondents are missing. and 1t is believed they were killed. while the Russ lost one of it's correspondents The other journals are wiring. to ascertain if their representa- tives are alive.
