BILE. The extent to be fortified is too great
for any ordinary system. There il but one
line Of defenses around the land side Of the
fort. and on this the forts are too far apart
and otherwise isolated to make then,
mutually supporting When the japanese
took Port Arthur before it was not defend
ed at all on the land side. The Russians
talk quite largely about making desperate
defense, but it does not seem possible that
they can do so, and, as We have said before,
it would only seem necessary for the Jap
arese to occupy some part of the narrow
peninsula in its rear, TO compel it to fall
by starvation. without the necessity of an
actual assault.

ORIENTAL coMMIssARIArs.

A vital element in the war now going
on between Russia and Japan is the ability
Of the combatants to supply great armies
at distance from their bases. The Rus

have to encounter it as soon as they leave

I The Russian army system is based upon
the corps, which is about A. 800 men and
supposed TO be accompanied by p, 400
wagons The soldier is supposed TO carry
two days rations on his person with two
days more in the regimental trains. and
from two to four days in the divisional
trains. At the end of that time il is sup
posed that other supplies can be drawn
from the surrounding country or from the
base. This is all very well i'm theory. bat
in practice it has not worked out at all
well, owing to the corruption and ineffi-
cheney which seem inseparable from the
Russian administration. These are SO glar-
ing that it is believed that nobody bat q
Russian soldier would endure them. He
is patient. faithful, dog-like in his attach

murmuring 'Ah. if the Car only knew"
The Russian soldier seems to lack the
ability to look out for himself such as the
western European manifests. When food
is not issued to him. ne in ut q loss where
to get it and will starve before thinking
of going foraging. This accounts in some
measure for the astonishing mortality OF
Russian troops when off their own soil
They die of like sheep with the rot when
ever they are ont of Russia Possibly they
do not do much better in Russia, but there
nothing is known of it.
The best thing about the Russian com
missaIiat system is the great number of
good horses, in which respect they surpass
any European nation. Russia is full of
horses. and whatever horses can do toward
getting forward rations is done. As the
Russian soldier is supplied with the
coarsest kind Of food it is therefore very
bulky, and it requires an enormous weight
to support him in anything like decent con-
dition.

THE TWo-THIRDS RULE IN THE DEMO
CRATIC CONVENTION.

The twO-thrds rule has been potent for
good and bad in all the National Demo
cratic Conventions. 1t was what split the
Democratic party at Charleston, and pre-
vented Stephen n. Douglas from getting
the nomination. 1t is feared now it will
work for harm. 1t is possible that Will
lam j. Bryan may enter the Convention
with compact minority of one-third or
more. and so dictate the nomination. There
has been much earnest consultation among
the Democratic leaders as to the proprery
of forestalling it by aboishing the two
thirds rule and making Il majority suffi-
Gent. AT present it seems as if this will
not be done. but that the time-honored
rule will be maintained. 1t is not believed
that Bryan can control one third of the
delegates, but that New York and the
South will have sufficient strength to be
able to make the nomination without suc-
cessful opposition. If this be so, it looks
brighter for Judge Parkers candidacy.
Tamnany has been defeated in New York.
which is black eve for the Hearst boom
and presumably for Rryan's control. The
present scheme is to have New York and
the Solid South dominate the next Ma
tional Democratic Convention. and it looks
as if an arrangement to that effect had been
brought about. The Convention will con-
sist of twice AZ many delegates as there are
Senators and Representatives. with two
delegates each from the Territories, District
of Columbia. and Hawaii. Whether they
will admit delegates from Porto Rico is
a question. This will make a membership
of about 9fiS. The following gives the
