PROBABLE PLANKS In THE
PLATFORM OF REPUBLICANS
outline of What Many Conferences in Washington
Have Accomplished.

Washington, May 3.-The platform to
be adopted by the Republican national
convention has been among the topics
discussed at the various conferences
which have taken place at the White
House, in committee rooms at the Cap
itol and at different residences where
number of Republicans have been
assembled.
Senator Lodge, who is slated for
chairman of the Committee on Resolu-
tions at the convention, has been quite
active i'm the matter of platform, and
has prepared preliminary sketches of
various topics that he thinks should be
treated. The principal feature of the
platform will be the tariff plank. which
will declare in the strongest terms the
adherence of the Republican party to
the principles of protection, but will
not bind the party not to revise the
tariff. In fact, 1t seems to have al
ready been agreed that the tariff will
be revised in the F'ifty-ninth Congress.
There is at present a determination
to make the platform as brief as pos.
sible, consequently the Endorsement of
the administration and the acts of the
party will be put in compact form.
The plank concerning trusts is
The Savannah morning news., 1904-05-04

matter of phraseology and language,
but in effect will declare that the laws
for the regulation of monopolies and
the restraint of conspiracy against
commerce were enacted by the Repub-
licans and the enforcement of such
laws have only been by a Republican
administration.
Some difficulty has been experienced
in finding the proper wording for a
reciprocity suggestion. Nearly all the
senators who have attended the recent
conferences have contributed their
share toward keeping the reciprocity
treaties negotiated by the Mckinley
administration closely confined in COM
mittee pigeon holes. Reciprocity has
not been popular in Congress and it was
with a great effort that the Cuban leg
islation was passed. If anything is
said about reciprocity it will be so
worded as to mean that the reciprocity
will be upon such articles as are not in
competition with products of the
United States.
Mention of the financial question will
consist of an allusion to the mainte-
nance of the gold standard by the Re-
publican party and a promise to con-
tinue the finances of the country upon
a sound basis.
Disfranchisement of the negroes in
Southern States will be denounced as
an encroachment on rights guaranteed
by the constitution.

DECLARE THEY INFLICTED
LOSSES UPON THE JAPS.

st. Petersburg, May 8, noon.-The
Emperor has received an official dis
patch from Gen. Kuropatkin forward
ing a dispatch from Gen. Zassalitch,
commanding the Russian forces which
have been engaged with the Japanese
advance from the Yalu. 1t is dated
noon Sunday, and describes how he
ordered the Russian forces at Antung
and Kulien-Cheng to fall back along
the main road toward Feng-Wang-
Cheng.

the threatened flank attack by men
and guns stationed at Poteitinsky, one
mile north of Kulien-Cheng. and Chin
Cow, villages on the Litzavena river.

severe. The Russians lost artillery and
horses, being obliged to abandon. ac-
cording to the text. "a few" guns.

Although we were unable to hold
our positions here we inflicted heavy
losses on the enemy"

A DESPERATE STAND
MADE BY RUSSIANS.

Toxic, May 8. 8 p. m.-The greatest
popular demonstration since the begin
ming of the war began in Toxic this
evening. The capital is showing it's joy
at the Japanese victory on the Yalu.
Thousands of people. half of whom
were women, paraded the streets in
celebration of the triumph of their
arms. There were dozens of parades in
as many different quarters and they
later were all centralized in one great
pageant. The students composed one
parade and they all carried red Ian
terms. The streets are still lined with
thousands of people and the entire city
is decorated with flags and lanterns.
P. MA supplemental report was
received here to-day from Gen. Kuro-
XII. 1t is dated to-day and says:
yesterday the enemy offered stub
born resistance against our pursuit,
adding about 300 to our casualties. The
enemy stood with resolution until their
artillery, consisting of two batteries,
lost the majority of it's men and horses.
They then broke the breeches and clos
ing apparatus of their guns and hoist
ed the white flag.
According to a captured Russian
officer, Maj. Gen. Kashtalinsky com
mander of the Third East Siberian Rife
| Brigade, colonies of the Eleventh and
Twelfth Rifle regiments, and the COM
mander of the rifle artillery battalion
were killed in the fighting at Hamat&n.
1T seems that the enemy was en-
tirely routed by our attacks. because
since yesterday many have come in
and surrendered. Our prisoners in
clude thirty officers, twenty Of whom
are wounded, and 300 men, 100 of whom
are wounded.
"a preliminary report from the chief
surgeon of the first Japanese army
shows that we had 1893 men killed and
wounded. These casualties are divided
as follows: The Imperial Guards, 1872;
Second division. $50; Third division,
316."

STRIKE ON THE SANTA FEE.
II Is Said That About 5000 Men Are
Out on the System.


Washington, May approximately
5000 men out on the Santa Fe system
is the strike situation to-day, as claim
ed by President O'Connell of the Inter-
national Association of Machinists.
This statement is based on reports re-
ceived this morning. OF the 5000,
about 1000 are machinists and the
others are boilermakers, blacksmiths,
tinsmiths, copper workers, helpers and
the semi-skilled labor of the Allied
Metal Mechanics.
d, The reports say that twenty
shops and round houses are affected,
all shops west of LaJunta, Col, to the
Pacific coast being completely tied up.
The situation east of LaJunta to the
Chicago Terminal is not so serious it
is said, but all machinists in that sec
ton are reported to be out and the
allied interests in some of the shops as
well.
kilograms from John Mcneil of Kan
sas City, president of the Boilermakers
and Iron Shipbuilders, and John Slocum
of Chicago, president of the Brother
hood of Blacksmiths, say that they are
in entire accord with the machinists
and have given instructions for CO.

BLAMES ZASSALITCH
FOR HIS 0BSTINACY,

Paris, May 4.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Echo De Paris
says that Gen. Kuropatkin in tele-
graphing to the Emperor blames Lieut..
Gen. Zassalitch's obstinacy in refusing
to retreat in time, despite the orders
he received.
The Japanese artillery, the CORE
spondent says, included eighteen siege
guns which we're brought from Yoko-
hama on gunboats and landed on the
Korean bank of the Yalu. The long
range of these guns enabled the Japan
csc to silence the Russian batteries on
the opposite bank.

second Regiments suffered the most.
A great number of officers were kill
ed or wounded. and the gunners of
the captured pieces were either kill
ed, wounded or made prisoners. One
battery had every man killed.
The Emperor is understood to be
greatly grieved over the losses sus-
tanned on the Yalu. Those who have
seen his majesty say that he was
dumbfounded when he was informed of
the heavy fighting which attended the
pa ssage of the river.
AS is well understood here, Gen. Ku-
ropatkin's programme did not contem-
plate such resistance to the Japanese
advance. 1t is said, moreover, that Ku-
ropatkin himself was equally surprised
and so chagrined over the miscarriage
of his plans that he sent his first tele-
gram to the general staff and not to the
Emperor.
The understanding here is that Gen.
Zassalitch had specific orders to avoid
anything like a general engagement,
and it is believed that the Russian
commander at the front probably was
deceived in his estimate of the strength
of Gen. Kuroki's artillery, being in en-
tire ignorance that Al guns had been
posted and got into a position from
which he had the greatest difficulty in
extricating his men. The only conso-
lation for the loss of the guns is that
being without their breech locks, they
are of no value to the enemy.

The habit of taking tonics and specif-
les for coughs and colds is gradually
giving way to better form of treat
ment.
1t has been a common saying when
persons have taken cold, that they
will knock it OUT with some more
or less powerful drug or stimulant,
and the poor system has had to un-
dergo for many years the strain of
this Knockout" process.
There is much more rational way
to cure cold than by working up the
system to fever heat, making the head
swim round and round and upsetting
the organs of digestion. We think this
is clearly revealed in the following let
ter, and, after you have read the let
ter, we should like to explain more
about it,

simply Offering it to the public as the
best emulsion of cod-liVer oil in the

as well as other conditions where the

Ozomulsion combines cod-liver oil,

Ozomulsion cures a cold not only by

is useless to knockout" a cold and

it was before the attack. What OZo-

The Russian Losses.

Seoul, May Slater reports OF the
Russian reverse on the Yalu are to the
effect that the Japanese captured
twenty-eight small rapid fire guns, be-
sides twenty field guns. They also cap
tured thirty Russian officers and over
500 men, many of whom were found
hiding in the underbrush by japanese
searching parties. Cossack officers who
were captured place the number of
Russians killed and wounded at 300,
but It is thought that this UNDERSTANDS
the Russian loss, which is believed to
be very much greater.
