Tokyo.


A cablegram from London says: The cor

cationalists and students representing the
Imperial University and other institutions
of learning on Saturday enthusiastically
passed resolution recording their graft
tude to the government of the United
States for having opened Japan to a new
life and new civilization by the Perry
treaty. They expressed gratitude to the
American people for q constant friendship
and sympathy during the past half CEN
tury, and especially during the current
war The resolution repeated the assur-
ances that Japan is not fighting for ag-
grandizement, but to secure to the empire
peace and civilization.
Marquis Ito, speaking as a guest. ex-
pressed his whole-hearted approval of the
resolution. At the same time he cautioned
his countrymen not to abuse the sympathy
OF Americans, who. as neutrals, had their
own duties and responsibilities. He urged

lied world, and he passionately appealed to
his countrymen to fight to the bitter end,
whether victorious or defeated. The whole
destiny of the nation was staked on the is

greatest enthusiasm.

A cable from St RSSeraburg May %. says:
Emperor Nicholas Eecetved the news of the
result of the fighting. at Kin-Chou, and in
its vicinity at the palace of Tsarskoe Selo.
He at once sent for War Minister Sakharoff,
with whom his majesty and the members of
his military cabinet went over the dis
patches. The emperor received the report
that the Russians were compelled to retire
before the heavy artillery fire. of the en-
emy's batteries in front and of his warships
on their flank with composure, as being the
fortune of war. but he was considerably
agftated by the later reports that General
Fock had not succeeded in saving the Rus
sian guns The members of the military
CO binet pointed out that this later report
was not official, and besides they expressed

1t is understood that the emperor has re-

which may be given out tonight.
The news in the foreign dispatches has
produced the usual crop of sensational
stories about the Russian government con-
cealing the extent Of the disaster. but the
only justification for this allegation seems
to be the sudden stOppage of all newspaper
dispatches from the seat of war. Most OF
the foreign reports are allowed to be print
ed so soon as received.

ed to the correspondent Of the Associated
Press that the loss OF guns reported cap

away when the Russians retired, but the
breech-bIocks, he added, probably had been

would have to manufacture special cart

rious matter The important thing to as
certain was whether the Japanese had cap
tured any field guns.
The same officer said the works at Kim

were no criterion of the works at Port Ar

to one that Blaine would be elected and yet Blaine lost the country. In 1888 the betting was two to one that Cleveland would carry the State and the election and yet harrison car
 In 1892 the betting up to two weeks before the election was in favor of liar rison and yet Cleveland swept the country, so when you size 1t all up there IS little significance Tn betting on election results.
 The reason for this Is the silent or independent vote which in these days decide the result of all elections. As an example, l will take the State of In diana. The Democratic sixty days poll of the State disclosed a doubtful vote of 1UO,0UV and RepuDiican ma. Jorlty of l5,OO0. The Republican poll showed a doubtful vote ot 5000 and a Republican majority of 3O,0OO. To split the difference this means that there are about $500 voters in lndt- ana who have not made up their minds as to how they will vote. Inside inr tees Is to the effect that fully one-half of these doubtful voters are "hoaters.' It is generally understood that hoat- CTS are men who can be influenced fn one way or the other either oy prom ises of work and help or py money, and most likely money. Therefore. the political party that can put up the most money and the last money 'wlll be able to vote this class of voters
 Therefore, Indiana can safely be re- lied upon to go for the party that can control sufficient amount Of money 10 buy those voters and Keep them tough statement to make, but It Is nev- ertheless true, tor there Is always in d national election from SO,OOO to oV'- 00O votes in Indiana for sale to the highest bidder. and the party that mas the money to Duy these votes will win tue election.

The Republican business men Of the Statc,'' he says, "are doing abso- lutely nothing toward organizing their employees for Roosevelt and Fairbanks "a condition radically different to the past two campaigns. While our re- ports from Indiana do not lead me to believe the State is anything like lost to us. feel that 1t will be one of the closest States in the country in the coming election. The small number of President Rooseyelt's personal friends in the State. and general con dition of apathy not confined to Indiana alone, is responsible for this. It may be that the Republican party will carry both New York and Indiana. or 1t may be that the Hoosier State. through State pride. will not follow New York's lead. Success, however, means unremftting hard work from now until election day"
 Chairman Cortelyou has finally taken Maryland out of the list of reasonably doubtful" States and placed 1t in the Democratic column. He did this at the beginning of the campaign, but later changed his mind, representations or Maryland Republicans making him be- lieve that party had a chance there.

 The whirlwind campaign of William Jennings Bryan through the State next week Is looked to do the cause of Democracy much good. Bryan has a strong hold upon the affections of thou sands of laboring men, farmers and mechanics. and his support of Judge Parker will certainly influence these men, snothing else in the world could. to support the Democratic ticket with their whole influence as we'll as with their votes.

 He had not, and even now he could not quite gauge his heartbeat. The thought of her meant much to him, and always he read her letters first regardless of home news, but he f1iched and was restive at the thought of bonds. Certainly Evelyns charm was very satisfying and various; of swift sympathy and a clever wit. Generous and true, he was confident of her ab- solute sincerity. but in this matter a man must be sure, and after all he could not know that she cared. In the meantime her letters came regularly bringing much of interest, and or this day when the news of the overdue mali steamers arrival reached him. his blood running quick with expectancy He was somewhat anxious to see whai reply she had made to two or :hret things he had said in his last let ter.
 When he failed to find the familiar faint gray of the stationery she used among the bundle of letters and pa pers given out as his portion, he stood staring unbelief. Response to his re- quest to Took again. resulted in the same and he turned away with a new " COnSCIOuSn6SS or the ne1t and the insects, and feeling a distinct hurt.

 But he was man of large compre. hension, Colonel Blair, and he meas. ured well the complexities of young blood, so he withheld reproof for the time, having steadfast faith in tht reassertion of Dorsey's habit of clea { living.
 It was not misplaced. The fifth morning that Dorsey looked at the ris. ing sun with eyes that had seen all the hours of the night, he was seiz- ed with vast disgust for what those hours had held, and a vaster desire for the nice clean rosy joys that leave no stain. That night he went with Potterfield to call on some American girls.

SCARLET FEVER
 CURED BY SERUM
VIENNA SPECIALIST TELLS OF
 MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
Meets Success in Tests-Says AntitOxin Is Obtained from Horses In0cu-
 lated with the Disease.

Chicago Tribune.
 The day is not far of when anti. toxin treatment will be employed as af- fecSively in curing scarlet fever as 1t now Is in the cure of diphtheria.'
 This prophecy was made last evening by pr. Theodore Escherich. professor of the diseases of children in the Uni versity of Vienna, and recognized as an authority on the subject. He was ad- dressing an audience of Chicago phy- sicians and laymen in the lecture hall of the Public Library building. It was the first of a series of popular scieDce addresses planned to be given weekly this autumn and winter.
 Tells of Work i'm Vienna.
 pr. Escherich described the res searches which have been in progress during the last two years in Vienna to discover a cure for scarlet fever. Upon the results of more than hundred ex- periments with serum taken from in- oculated animals the Austrian scien- tist based his claims for the antitoxin treatment.
 Tt is not absolutely proved" hs said, that a cure has yet been found. The results of experiments. however. have been striking, and 1t has been demonstrated beyond a doubt that the injection of inoculated serum in scarlet fever patients invariably checks the progress of the disease
 Early Treatment Effective.
 In cases where the disease has not progressed beyond the second day. Dr. Escherich declared the antitoxin treat- ment had been entirely successful In some instances the fever and been re- duced within four hours after the in- lection.
 The beneficial results of the anti toxin treatment also varied, said pr. Escherich, with the period of the disease at which the serum was in- jected Those treated earlier respon- ded more readily. Out of fifteen eases treated on the first or second day no deaths resulted. Three deaths out of fifteen resulted from fourth day treat ment. and eight deaths out of fifteen from fifth day treatment
 The antitoxin used in all the experi- ments was described as a specially pre- pared serum taken from horses which had been inoculated with serum from a severe case of scarlet fever. Much diff ficulty was found in obtaining a satis- fastory supply.
 Dr. Eseherich was entertained earlier in the evening at a banquet given at the Chicago Athletic Club by the Chicago Medical Society. pr. John B. Murphy was toastmasteT

SURE FOR PARKER AND HERRIcK.
New York Certain to Go for the Demo-
 cratic Candidates.


 cratic Candidates.
 O. O. Stealey's New York Special to
 Louisville Courier-Journal.
 The Herald estimate today that Roosevelt will come down to the bridge with 15o,00O and that he will lead the Republican State ticket by at least 5O,- GOO Is rather discouraging to the Dem ocrats although the latter dispute The Herald's estimates. They say that with their unity up in the State and their thorough organization it Is quite an impossibility for Roosevelt to come to Greater New York with more than loo. 000. and at least 50,00O less votes for Higgins. the Republican candidate for Governor.
 The Democrats are confident that their candidate for Governor, Judge Herrick. will be elected by 5O,000 plu- raIity. and that this plurality is dead sure to give the State also tc Judge Parker This view of the case looks logical and reasonable. and in conserv- alive circles 1t Is believed beyond ques- tion that the Empire State Is absolute ly sure to go for both Herrick and Par ker The sporting men are offering ten to sewn on Herrick, with but few takers, and even money on Parker The Republicans are asking ten to six on Herrick and ten to nine and eight on Parker.
 The betting, however. is not much of an indication as to how the State will go. In 1884 the betting here m1nth before the election was two to one that Blaine would carry the State and three

oDELL's BIG FUND.
He Will Attempt to Buy Election In
 New York.

New York.
 Brooklyn Eagle. ,
 Within a week in semi private room of the Waldorf Astoria Chairman Governor Odell boasted that he had the assurance of $S00.000 for election uses in the State of New York
 .. This assertion was not made in pulp lic nor for public circulation nor for the information of the public. That it has become public Is due to the fact of person becoming informed of it and repeating it in a certain quarter as set ting the question of New York and in surfing the State for Roosevelt and Higgins. That such an assertion was made by Odell is certain.
 This boast follows and confirms and is confirmed by the statement made in public press, so widely as to be known of all, that on behalf of the Republican campaign in New York Chairman Gov ernor Odel1 had demanded from the Re- publican National Committee the sum of $750,000.
 That the Republican National Com mittee Is in a position to respond to such demand is undoubted. Every trust, every moneyed corporation of the country has been pouring treasure
 If $500, ,oo0 or s750. 900 shall be avail able for Republican use in New York State. as Odell has boasted, there can not be the least doubt that it Is the Republican plan to buy all of the cor ruptibIe vote of the State of New York, for which vote the euphemism is the floating vote"
 Large amounts of money can be ex- pended legitimately in political cam paign in New York Indeed. a large amount is needed for legitimate pur- poses. A canvass which shall reveal the possible strength and the weak spots of party is itself an expensive process The waging of strenuous speaking campaign. the circulation of political literature and its preparation and printing-all legitimate, against which criticism cannot be made-are organization of the respective polling districts to get to the polls the last vote the party is entitled to have re- quires a very considerable sum. But when all of those are counted in 1t can be safely asserted that $3oO,000 would be an extravagant sum for the legiti- mate uses in a political campaign in this State. It follows, therefore, that every dollar that Is spent over and above $30O,o0o is expended for, an il. legitimate purpose or the purchase of votes.
 The floating vote" may be divided into two parts. One which will not vote the ticket of the party it is as and which, if not paid. will not vote the other ticket nor its own. The other class Is one which will sell it's vote to the highest bidder. This vote, un- for $2 a vote. There have been times and places when as high as $25 a vote, If not more. has been paid.
 If the $500 900 is to go to the Repub- lican treasury of the State, 1t Is safe to say that at least $500,o00 will be used to obtain all of this floating vote, in order to offset and possibly overtop what is now unmistakable, but the de- gree of which is known to none-the drift of Republican voters to the Dem- Sfafa ticket

 This story Is old; very old It has happened times without number, and is likely to often happen again. but that does not lessen It's heart ache.
 It begins In the present telling. on X wide vine shaded gallery where a girl sat writing a letter. Her inspira- ton came unsteadily. At times her pen moved swiftly and again she would hesitate and look far over the blue water of the bay with grave sweet eyes that held the light of dreams
 Really It is dificult to know just what to say she rnnsed Tt isn't as if we were regularly engaged. do miss him and want to see him. but it would be deal wiser to tell him how much than to write 1t. 1t seems diff terent somehow. I wonder If he real ly cares or if-Oh dear. we play so much at seriousness nowadays that we toy with involuntarily believe. I wish things were as in old days when men and women were not go afraid 10 con fess their hearts. I-oh. how provok- ing. There comes Harry Elliott for me to go to the links, and this letter to Phillip isn't half finished. must go, suppose, since I promised. and perhaps I cah get back in time to fin tsh 1t for the steamer. If I don't we'll. they say it isn't best to let a man know how much you care. and he will appreciate it all the more when 1t does come"
 She pressed a shy kiss to the in- sensate page, blushing consumingly, ana went up stairs. softly singing a 1sttle version of her own of Mandelay which she reserved for herself

 In his quarters at Manila a young lieutenant of the United States army lounged; the weariness of the tropical summer and inaction lay heavy upon him. He restlessly tossed about a heap of books and magazines in search of distraction, yawning and smoking many cigarettes.
 By and by he took some letters out of his case and looked over them, reading extracts and now and again he smiled, glancing toward a tinted photograph of a beautiful girl with the light of dreams in her eyes, that seemed to smile softly back at him from beside his mirror.
 The letters were not love breathing rnissives, but they were of charm both grave and sparkling, with infre- duently a hint of tenderness more to be valued because of it's rareness Very characteristic these letters of a most charming personality. How charming Dorsey was realizing more vividly now that he was SC far from fits bewildering presence. He had not been in love with her when they had parted. Their acquaintance had been short. only the space of brief fur. tough of the fan before, when she chanced to be visiting at his home town, and though they had been rnu- tually attracted she hedged her sweet
