BREECH OF NEUTRALITY.
Russian Opinion in Regard to China's Action as to the RyeshiteIni.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-The Rus sians are inclined to regard the Ryes- hiteIni affair as rctiecting unfavorably upon Chinese neutrality. The Chinese admiral at Chefoo IS criticised LOT allowing the Japanese torpedo boats to enter Chefoo without disarming as the Russians were promptly disarmed. It is also claimed that tho Chinese should havc taken off the crew of the Ryeshitelni and placed q guard on board her.
 In this conclusion there is cOnsidera- ble disquietude here at the attitude of the Chinese around Sinmintin as it is believed their disposition Is dintinctly threatening to Liaoyang and Mukden

Memphis. Tenn. Aug. 13.-By Q de- cision handed down in the Chancery Court of this county today brokers in this city wishing a ticker cotton Quo- tation service, must secure the ap- proval of the Memphis Cotton Ex- change before the telegraph company can install the ticker.

 New HGufe.


 Liaoyang, Aug 12,{Delayed. )-Native travellers report that the Russians are still in possession of Penishu (about 45 miles east of Lfaoyang) and that the Japanese therefore forced from this point, also by the strength of the Rus sian eastern position, seek other routes to flank Liaoyang or cut the railroad. After the Japanese advance to Kali chau. following the successes of July 31. the Japanese disappeared. The Russians secuted along their former front on the Shi and Lang river and now after their own withdrawal. they are completely separted from the enemy, who is supposed now tsS be working northward east of Penishu a far less foridable route, and also north from Yinkow.
 Through no credible confirmation of the latter report eau be had. as far as an observer can sec both the Japa- nese and Russians have abandoned aggressive tactics in tho east and the defences of Iiaoyang are narrowed 10 a smaller and stronger circumference.

 Before the Russian fleet emerged from Port Arthur, August 10. the bat teries could reach the warships there with shells and the docks were ex- posed to a fire, the severity of which was increasing constantly.

VAN DUZER.

The Hon. Clarence d. Van Duzer
was the star speaker at the Demo
cratic meeting on Monday night and,
as usual, posed as the champion self
constituted press agent OF Nevada,
combined with the role Of sleuth,
spending weeks in exposing fake
mining schemes and expatriating to
Canada their wicked o~riginators. Sc
far, so good; but why not give us
names, and are these the duties OF a
ngressma ? The Hon. Clarence
then proceeded to attack Duncan b,
Harrison, but he failed to reply tC
that gentleman's very forcible letter
which, in case it has escaped bis
memory, we print in another column.
together with the letter which the
Hon. Clarence says he did not write
and Harrison says he did. Abuse IL
no argument, and to villify Harrison
IS not to answer the many serious
charges he has brought. Van Du
zer's story Of the transaction scarcel,
rebounds to his credit. He says tina
Harrison wanted a mine and applied
to him, apparently knowing that h
had a job lot on hand, but as h
would not pay ''many thousands o
dollars" for Van Duzer's mine

which oue?-he handed him the ere
age which is now the New England
Tonopah Mining company for $1,000
and then, base migrate that he was,
only paid him half, adding to his mis-
cry by not paying for wires, legal
documents and other fees. Too bad,
but perhaps he thought Van Duzer
should pay these out of the rake off.
Why did Van Duzer transfer the
property before the money was paid?
Surely that was not business.
It would then appear that to push
the good thing along, Van Duzer
wrote the glowing letter to Senator
Jones, which is printed elsewhere.
Then came the prospectus compiled
from information furnished by Van
Duzer, and right here he wilted; it
was too strong even for him, so like
Peter of old he denied all knowledge
of the deed. No, no, Van Duzer has
not improved his position in the
transaction with Duncan B. Harri-
son. He should read his letter again,
count off the charges he brought
against him, deny them seriatim If he
can or confess their truth like a man.
Even when this is done the people OF
Nye county do not want him as a
representative of Nevada to con
gress. He talks about his honor
He writes about his honor But
with Harrison's accusations hanging
over his head surely the least sale
about honor the better.
His honor founded on dishonor firmly stood,
And faith unfaithful, kept him falsely true.

what Roosevelt Has Done.

What, positively, has he accom-
plished :?
He has handed over to Cuba the
government of the Cuban Republic.
He has settled the anthracite coal
strike, which, for hall a year, democ-
allied the industries of the country.
When Great Britain, Germany and
Italy we're attacking Venezuela, he
induced them to desist, thus preserv-
ing the inviolability OF the Monroe
doctrine.
The three commissioners appointed
by him to discuss the Alaskan boun.
Diary question gained a complete vic
tory for the American contention.
The Cuban Reciprocity Treaty,
which has been defeated by n con-
gress, was passed in a subsequent
special election, because Roosevelt
insisted.
BY the creation Of a Bureau Of
Commerce and Labor, for which his
influence is solely responsible, the
president has taken the first definite
steps towards the solution of the
Trust problem. Light will be let in
on the management Of the Trusts.
Then, when their evils are definitely,
not vaguely, a~scertained, a proper
corrective can be applied.
The door to China's trade has been
kept wide open to our trade.
But the most enduring benefit the
President has brought to the country
has been the assurance that the Pan,
anna Canal would be finished. In the
Isthmian imbroglio the President
acted always within the treaty rights
of this nation. His official conduct
was eminently correct. But were il
not for his exceptional adroitness and
vigor during the crises, the prospect
for the in~teroceanic canal would still
be years in the future. For nearly
four hundred years, man has dreamed
of piercing the American isthmus
but it remained for President Roose
welt to bring these dreams within the
sight Of realization. History will
record his connection with the Pan
anna canal as the most %mementou'
feature Of his first term.
Thus Theodore Roosevelt has beer
an upright and painstaking, vigorous
and useful, honest and patriotic Pres
ident. 1t seems both wiser ant
fairer for the American people to re
elect him rather than to elevate il
his place an untried jurist who, how
ever exemplary his personal charac
ter, has had practically no exper
fence whatsoever to fit him for th,
most difficult position in the world

JUMBO MINE.

l
The proceedings which took place
at the meeting of directors of this
company last week and at the sub
sequent meeting of the stockholders
which was held on Tuesday last par
take more of the nature of Opera
Bouffe than the deliberate action of
intelligent men. Omitting entirely
the question of the legality of the
proceedings the policy of those who
are responsible for the matter is
certainly open to criticism. In pre-
senting the resolution calling for the
removal from the directorate of John
McKane and George Kernick, c. D.
Taylor adopted a course which in the
opinion of all most competent to Judge
is inimicable to the best interests of
the stockholders and the mine.
George Kernick is the man who
grubstaked Taylor and thus enabled
him to acquire the mines at Goldfeld
which may make him a millionaire.
He is a quiet, cool level headed man

to do so. John McKane's position is

At the time when j. K. Harvey

tinued with his part of the bond and

THE FRIENDS OF LABOR

The Republican meeting which was
held on Thursday evening gave the
speakers an opportunity to impress
upon the audience the present atti-
tude of the candidates on the labor
question, and this was done in no un-
certain way. 7. l.. Oddie empha
sized these friendly feelings towards
the Miners union, which he has al
ways displayed at every opportunity
and modestly, but rightly, claimed
credit with jim Butler for making
and maintaining this a 81 camp. W.
/. Plumb, who is a working miner,
told an interesting story of the eight
hour law, how it was incorporated in
both the Republican and Democratic
platforms and bitterly fought by Sen
ator Newlands, who not only opposed
it for his own party, but also tried to
force it out of the Republican plat
form, and even when it had been
adopted, opposed it in every con.
ceivable way.
Not only Democrats but Republi-
cans also must deeply consider this
for reaching labor question. The
candidates on the Democratic ticket
will not stand a searching ~investiga-
ton into their feelings and past rec
ord on the matter. Parker and
Davis are men of the east and south
who know but little of the west, and
appreciate it's vast potentialities
even less. To them the wages paid
in the western mining camps would
appear m~onstrously high, but we
who live in this prosperous camp
think lightly of them. In the county
which claims Davis wages are low
unions are not tolerated and the ole
southern feeling of capitals contemp'
for labor predominates. In this state
Governor Sparks can more honestly
claim to be a champion Of labor
cause. When he first purchased hi
ranch in Elko county he imported
negro labor because it was cheaper
= and until he received the nomination
as governor, the miners at the Wede
| kind mine we're paid less than an,
other miners in the state. Shout,
