RUSSIAN DAINTIEs
Some of the Things Within Reach OF
the Poorest Peasant.

The Russian peasant, even if the
bread he eats is black. has bon

sought by epicures in the western
world-the wild mushrooms, which
grow thousands upon thousands, on
the steppes Of Russia. At any time
a full and savory meal is provided
with the addition of sausage and
onions; even mushroom alone often
contents them for meal with their
coarse rye bread.
The poorest laborer has also a lux
urious drink always available from the
ever-present samover, and the tea they
drink would be the envy of any Amer
lean connoisseur Of that beverage, for
the best Of China's tea is found in
Russia, and all classes enjoy it's quail

allowed to stand on the tea over a
few moments, 50 none of the poison

drink Is the result. 1t would be we'll
if the Russian peasant would content
himself with this, for his only great
vice IS drunkenness.

NOVIK SUNK BY JAPS
Russia's Crack Cruiser Sent to Bottom
After Long Flight.


Toxic, Aug. 22.-After a severe en-
gagement with the protected cruisers
Chitose and Tsushima, the greyhounds
Of the Japanese navy, the fleet Rus
sian cruiser Novik has been van
quished. The fight occurred yester-
day. After it the Novik, in sinking
condition, was run ashore in Korsako-
visk harbor, off the coast of Siberia,
$50 miles northeast of Vladivostok.
The details Of today's fight are not
known here, but it Is evident that the
Chitose and Tsushima caught up with
the Novik yesterday and that run
ming fight ensued. The contest was
resumed and terminated this morn
ing. Captain Takahashi, who is in
command Of the Chitose, reported the
engagement in a brief telegram Which
reached the navy department here
this morning. He said he first at
tackled the Russian cruiser Saturday
afternoon and that on Sunday morn
ing he inflicted heavy damage upon
her. The Novik nearly sank, but was
beached at Korsakovisk.
A shell from the Novik struck the
Tsushima in a bunker. Temporary
repairs, however, rendered the Japan
csc cruiser seaworthy. The Japanese
suffered no casualties.
OF Port Arthur Fleet. a
The Novik was one of the fleet
which steamed out of Port Arthur on
the morning of Aug. 10 to force its
way thru the Japanese lines. She
entered Tsing-chau the night of Aug
II, but got away from there the night
of Aug. y, having remained less than
| twenty-four hours. She was then er-
roneously reported to have been sunk
forty miles from Tsing-chau.
The Novik was next reported headed
for Van Dieman strait, at the southern
end of Japan, evidently in an effort to
reach Vladivostok via the eastern coast
of the Japanese Islands. From the
fact that the japanese cruisers met the
Novik off the southern end of SAX
hahn it would appear that the Rus
| sian cruiser had passed thru the Kur.
| lie islands and was endeavoring tc
| reach Vladivostok by way of La Pc
rouse strait, avoiding the passage OF
the Tsugaru strait, which was used by
the Russian Vladivostok squadron
when it raided the eastern coast Of
Japan.

and Jap at Shanghai Docks.

Shanghai, Aug. 22.-Rear Admiral
Stirling says that the trip of the
American torpedoboat destroyer
Chauncey, from Woo-sung to Shang-
hal, yesterday afternoon, was to carry
dispatches. Her movements had no
connection with the arrival of the
japanese torpedoboat destroyer. The
Japanese warship passed Woosung
at full speed and started up the river
Ju for Shanghai.
The United States torpedoboat de-
stroyer Chauncey slipped her cable
and followed the Japanese destroyer.

cally between the dock and the Jap
anese destroyer.

the harbor.
China Is Helpless.
The taotai has notified American
Consul Goodnow, who is dean Of the

GEORGIANS ARE
 WELL SATISFIED
ALL ADMIRE THE BRAVE AND HONEST STAND TAKEN BY JUDGE PARKER BEFORE ADJ TOURNAMENT OF CONVENTION.

Atlanta. July 1o-A number of inter now famous Parker telegram" will be published by the Constitution tomorrow. Among those who stated their views were Governor Terrell Secretary of State Cook and Hon. J. J. Spalding.
 Governor Terrell saids
 "The telegram was a truthful and can- did expression of a wise and honest lead CT This act clearly demonstrated that the convention made no mistake in nomi- hating Judge Parker. While the views set forth in the telegram were generally ae- cepted as the position of Judge Parker, he no doubt wanted that position made a matter of record so that no one might misunderstood.
 ''The American people like truth, candor and honesty. The answer of the conven- tion was proper, as the platform should deal only with live issues Every free silver democrat of 1896 can without the slightest sacrifice support the platform and ticket of 1904"
 Secretary of State Phil Cook:
 Tt was a manly thing to do and re- auired strength of character The fact that this strength of character was dis sent to St. Louis. will all go to strength en the party"
 Hon. J. J. Spalding said:
 His telegram was not only fearless and manly, but it was essentially necessary to the party. His action put the party in the demands of the United States, it is of hole."

THINKS NEW YORK AND
 WEST VIRGINIA ARE SAFE
Continued from First Page,


 ment on the national democratic con vention
 ''The convention has done It's work and done it well. There was an utter ab- sence of dictation. The delegates came here to deliberate and decide for them selves and did so They were deeply con seious of the seriousness and the fea- which today fills the minds of the people. They desired to present the real issues which will be decided by the campaign in such a shape as to bring them directly before the voters not complicated by dead and settled issues. The candidates elected and the platform upon which they stand do this and ought to meet the approval of all democrats and of all thoughtful citi- zens who placed good first.
 'The American people are true and brave and the incident of last night will appeal straight to their hearts. The straightforward and manly, and at the same time courteous and respectful stand taken by Judge Parker on the monetary question and the approval of his position on the floor of the convention after full discussion and explanation should satisfy the people that the business interests of the country will be safe under demo- cratic administration and prevent any possible question because no reference was made to it in the platform. 'srhe position of the candidate and the party is stronger than if the gold plank had been reported by the committee on resolutions and adopted without discus sion. All question as to the permanency of the gold standard has been eliminated from democratic politics.
