then, not the ribe-taker, but the bribe-
giver, the man we are so proud of, our
successful business mamie is the
source and the sustenance of our bad
government. The captain of industry Is
the man to catch. His is the trail to
follow
We have struck that trail before.
Whenever we followed the successful
politician his tracks led us into it, but
also led us out of the cities-from
Pittsburg to the State Legislature at
Harrisburg; from Philadelphia, through
Pennsylvania, to the National Legis-
lature at Washington. To go on was
to go into state and national politics,
and l was after the political corruption
Of the city ring then. Now l know
that these are all one. The trail of
the political leader and the trail of the
commercial leader are parallels which
mark the plain main road that leads
off she dead level of the cities, up
through the states into the United
States, out of the political ring into the
systematic living system of our actual
government. The highway of corrup-
ton is the road to success -
Every time l attempted to trace to
it's sources the political corruption OF
a city ring the stream of pollution
branched off in the most unexpected
directions and spread out in a network
of veins and arteries so complex thai
hardly any part of the body polite
seemed cloar of it. 1t flowed out OF
the majority party into the minority
out of politics into vice and crime; ou
| of business into politics, and back into
| business; from the boss. down through
the police, and up through the practice
of law into the courts, and big throb-
| bling arteries ran out through the coun-
| try over the state to the nation-and
| back.

feet that battles are won. When his
military shoes wear out the japanese
soldier could get a handful of straw
anywhere, and with a turn of the hand
it is transformed into a pair of san
dals. The Japanese, whose enthus-
iasm is easily excited, is capable at
any moment of an astonishing amount
of energy. Stimulated by an ardent
patriotism, a fanatical pride, he is ca
pable of prolonged effort without
getting discouraged. If his profound
contempt for death, prompted by
Oriental fatalism, be taken into con-
sideration, the power of an army of
such men will be understood"
Korea in King David's Days.
Pyeng-yang, the largest and most
important city in Northern Korea, was
founded by a fugitive Chinese states
man, who came over with 5000 follow
erS in the days when David was King
at Jerusalem. His name is Kija, and
he is regarded as the founder of Ko-
rean civilization. His we'll is still at
Pyeng-yang, and on a high hill to the
north of the city is his tomb. Pyeng-
yang is the second city in the empire.
1t has a population of between 70, 900
and $4,000 inhabitants; it's people are
free and independent, full of energy
and spirit.
Warming to Travellers in Japan.
The foreigner, says an exchange,
should beware of making presents to
any japanese girl unless he is bent
upon matrimony. To present her with
any sort of gift, even though it be
only a posy, will be regarded as a pro-
posal of marriage, and to accept the
present. though not a word of love or
matrimony be passed, is a sign that
she accepts you. Gallant Americans
have got into serious trouble, and
found it necessary to leave the coun-
try at night to escape a binding en-
gagement which they thoughtlessly
incurred by giving to a maiden some
trife.

next PEACE CONGRESS
PRESIDENT WILL SEND FORMAL
INVITATIONS TO POWERS
WITHIN FEW DAYS.
MEETING TO Be HELD AT The HAGUE
NATIONS INTERESTED ASKED TO
SUGGEST THE DATE FOR
THE CONFERENCE.
MEETING TO Be HELD AT The HAGUE

Washington, Oct. 22.-In the course
OF two or three days the president will
dispatch formal invitations to the DOW
ers to name delegates to the new peace
conference to be held at The Hague.
The powers are invited to suggest a
date or dates for the meeting of the
conference. Secretary Hay submitted
draft of the invitation to the cab
met during the day.
Notice of his intention to issue this
call was given by the president sew
eral weeks ago upon the occasion of
the visit to the White House of the
delegates Of the Interparliamentary
union and the formal invitation has
been in course of preparation ever
since. There was no hesitation on the
part of the president in naming The
Hague in the invitation, hence of
course 1t is assumed the government
OF The Netherlands was first consult
ed. The date of the meeting was left
open because it is stated that any one
OF the powers has as much right to
suggest date as the United States.
Consequently there must be consider
able correspondence on this subject
before an agreement is reached. It is
not expected that the conference will
meet during the continuance of the
present war unless this should con-
tinue indefinitely. 1t cannot be
learned that any consideration has yet
been given to the personnel of the
delegation which will represent the
United States at the congress.

RUSSIAN LOSSES FRIGHTFUL.
German Correspondent Tells of Terri
BILE Siau1i1ter.


Berlin, Oct. 22.-Colonel Gaedke
war correspondent Of the Tageblatt
has teleg1aphed to his paper from Muk
den as follows:
Have been unable to telegraph fo1
two days owing to the absence of the
censor. Both armies are much fa
tigued. They occupy positions in close
contact. Only an occasional shot
breaks the stiffness. A general Rus
sian attack appeared to have been
planned for the night of Oct 20, but a
freshet in the Shakhe river prevented
it. The roads and fields are drying
slowly. The Russian losses were fright.
full. Single regiments have as few as
800 men left. The Viborg regiment, OF
which Emperor William is honorary
colonel, had 20 officers and 800 men
killed. The feeling is. accordingly
grave. No end is visible of the CHASTITY
slaughter
''No skill in leadership can bring
victory in the present struggle, but
only the frmer will of the commander
and his troops. The wounds are much
more dangerous now tlan formerly.
This is partly due to the use of the
old style Japanese rifles, with their
fattened, copper covered bullets, and
partly to {he thicker clothing of the
soldiers. L have private news from
Port Arthur that there is abundant am
munition for two months and provi.
sions for a much longer period. No
body in the fortress thinks it can ever
fall The Chinese report barbarous
cruelties on the part Of the Japanese.
The mere possession of Russian money
is dangerous at NeWchWang.'

RIVER SEPARATES ARMIES
OPERATIONS ON Battlefield
BELOW MUkDEN CONTINUE
AT A STANDsTiLL..

st. Petersburg, Oct. 22.-The two
armies face each other across the
Shalzhe river, but operations continue
at standstill. The heavy fog which
hung over the plain has been burned
up by the sun and there has been some
desultory artillery firing from some of
the Russian batteries, but nothing i'm
pOrtant. One Of the Associated Press
correspondents says the Japanese did
not reply, indicating possible short
age Of ammunition or a desire to con-
ceal the location of their guns.
The war office has no fresh news ex-
cept a list of the losses of General
El1k's Seventy-frst division of the
Fifth Siberian corps and General Mo
razOff's First division of Lieutenant
General Dambowski's corps. Each
lost half a dozen officers. The official
lists Of officers killed and wounded
between Oct. II and 13 totals liz, in.
Guiding Major General Rabinski and
seventeen field officers killed. The
wounded are in the proportion of one
to six. The list for the heaviest day
fighting is still unreported and doubt
less will exceed the losses at Liaoyang,
when 500 officers were killed or wound.
ed. The losses among the men are
not yet reported, but they are thought
to approximate not much over 100000
News from Port Arthur brought to
Chefoo by junk which left there Oct
19 says fierce bombardment, which
began Oct. 16, was still progressing
without interruption.
Manv hui1dinoc had hoon do mo ood
and ships in the harbor had also been
hit by shells, but the character and
extent Of the damage are not stated
The Japanese main forces are now
posted at LiudZiatung. They have
placed guns of large calibre on Iunjida
mountain. The Russians continue
making sorties successfully and in.
hicting heavy losses on the besiegers,
whose losses since the commencement
of the siege are said to have been
$4,000.

ROADS RAPIDLY GETTING IN SHAPE
WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED.

Fighting has not been resumed in
Manchuria and the Russian general,
Sakharoff, reports that the two armies
maintain their respective positions.
There is desultory artillery firing
along the lines and "Reminiscences
are continuous on both sides, indicat-
ing that, with the rapidly drying
roads, developments may soon be
looked for.
While official figures on the losses
are still absent st. Petersburg believes
from information in hand that the total
Russian casualties during the battle
OF Shakhe river will not exceed 10000.
There was heavy mortality in Off
GERS on the Russian side, 172 being
killed in the fighting of Oct. II to 13,
including one major general and sew
enteen field officers.

Situation Unchanged According to Off
cial Reports.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 22.-General
Sakharof telegraphs that there was no
fighting during the day. The armies
maintain their respective positions.
There are continual "Reminiscences
on both sides.
The admiralty has not received con
frmation Of the report from Chefoo
that Russian ships in the harbor Of
Port Arthur have been damaged by
Japanese shells, as the blockade has
been effective enough to prevent the
delivery Of official dispatches.
The admiralty says there was no in
tentiOn in a recent official note to deny
the Associated Press report that Rear
Admiral Wren has succeeded Rear
Admiral Prince Ouktomsl1y as com
mander OF the Port Arthur squadron.
What the note intended to deny was
the story circulated abroad that Prince
Ouktomsky had been deposed in favor
of Admiral Wren at a meeting Of
General Stoessel and the other high
military and naval officers after the
return of the squadron to Port Arthur

JAPs USED MACHINE GUNS.
Every Man of Russian Force of TW
Hundred Wounded

Mnlxden, Oct 22.-Every man of the
200 Cossacks commanded by Captain
Tourgenieff, who on Tuesday night re-
connoitered the Japanese left south
westward and who near Sandohu un-
expectedly encountered a good sized
Japanese force with machine suns,
was wounded and every horse except
Captain Tourgenief's was hit by the
bullets from the Japanese machine
guns. Tourgenieff, though mortally
wounded, carried off one man behind
his saddle, while others managed to
creep back to camp. But, as already
cabled, not one man was killed on the
field
There is the greatest fear on the
part of the Russian wounded of falling
into the hands of the Japanese, the
Russians being convinced that they
torture their prisoners.

Mulsden, Oct. 22.-Towards evening
the fog lifted and some of the Russian
guns at various points opened fire
against the Japanese defenses, but
they did not respond either from
scarcity of ammunition or of the de-
sire not to reveal the location of their
batteries.
The weather and the condition of
the roads have made extensive opera

now drying hard, which forecasts
events in the near future.
