Parker wilI.Not Sneak.

x>S ewx York, October 6.-Chairman Tag
 Tt at Democratic headquarters gave out the following statement today
 Shortly after his nomination Judge Parker set about the consideration of his course of action toward the conduct of the campaign. He consulted many men of large experience In such matters and made an examination of the course of every successful candidate. That done, he decided, as it was necessary for him to do, what his course should be and he caused that decision to be made gener- ally known. It was to the effect that he would not go upon the stump; that such speeches as he should deem 1t desirable to make could be made at Rosemount, notwithstanding in that respect the Me- Kinley precedent of 1896.
 That decision made and announced he proceeded to work along the lines he had marked out for himself. He believed then, as he believes now, that he decided would budge him. His record during all his life proves that clamor will not move him one iota. The incidenet is closed and those in charge of the campaig' fully approve of the determination of Judge Parker"
 Judge Parker has been importuned to speak in various states, and today's an nouncement Is designed to prevent fur ther similar requests.

West Virginia Is Safe.

Washington, October 6.-Former Sena- tor Faulkner of West Virginia, was in Washinton for a few hours today. He believes that West Virginia can be de- pended upon to cast it's electoral vote for Parker and Davis The senator has not until recently taken a very hope full view of the situation. He is inclined to believe that prospects for democratic success all over the country are increas- ing rapidly and that the party will win.
 William D. Bynum O. Indiana, opened the republican campaign in Keningston. Maryland. yesterday and made bitter speech against the democratic party with which he formerly affiliated.
 He said that the party had ceased to be one that could be trusted or relied llpon," and that it has become recreant to every great principle which inspired it's founders"
 MT. Bynum is a member of the com mission to revise the laws of the United States salary s5000 per ahnum.
 Chairman Cowherd of the democratic congressional commi.tee returned to Washinton today after week spent at his home in Missouri.

MONT PELEE AGAIN
 BECOMING ACTIVE
stupendous Black Clouds and Balls of Fire Are Emitted From
 the Crater.

Kingstown, St. Vincents, October G. The captain of the British steamer, Si- bun, which arrived today reports that when the steamer passed the island of Martinique on September oO Mont Pelee was in full eruption. The spectacle was seen by those on board the Sibun as 2 o'clock in the morning of the day men toned the volcano emitting stupendous black clouds and balls of fire. This accounts for the dust clouds reported to have been seen yesterday throughout the Windward islands.
 Early in May. 1902 Mount Pelee broke into violent eruption. wiping out the city of St. Pierre and reaching other towns nearby. The loss of life on that occasion was estimated at forty thousand
 
 but you will find that nobody here can be wilder than l can"
 Senator Tillman said in the course of his remarks:
 q stand here to indict the republican party because 1t is no longer the party of Lincoln. It no longer stands for human liberty; it no longer stands against slav- cry. It holds the same position today that the old southern hierarchy of southern shareholders held in 186O The leaders of that party today are suDservIent to the orders of one man, and they are con- trolled by the man in the White house." The senator declared that in his opinion the race question was the great Issue in the present campaign.

DID WREN MAKE 4 DASH ]?
St. Petersburg Is Inclined to Believe That Admiral at Port Arthur Has Made a Dash for Vladi-
 vostok.

The significance of a Mukden dispatch noting an unusual activity in that place Is the subject of much speculation at St. Petersburg. The theory that 1t indicates the purpose of General Kuropat,dn to evacuate Mukden is not generally ac- cepted, military officers surmising that the commotion noted is in connection with a movement to check Japanese hanking operation.
 In Russian official circles some ere dence is given to the rumor that Admi- ral Wiren has left Port Arthur with his ships, the confusion resulting because severe storm on Tuesday Is regarded as having made such dash possible. There are indications that the Russian war ships in the Baltic will soon be dis patched to the far east

May Have Made Dash.

St. Petersburg, October 7.-(2:2o a. m)- While the admiralty says it has no knowledge of the departure of the Port Arthur squadron, it is inferable from the way in which the report reads that such an event has occurred and that a definite confirmation would not create surprise. The Associated Press is informed that no direct orders have been issued to Admi- raI Wiren to break through the block ading fleet. but 1t is tactily admitted that the admiral has discretionary powers to leave Port ~Arthur should the situation demand or conditions be propitous.
 In naval circles it is pointed out that on Wednesday morning the conditions might have been favorable for a sortie. Heavy storms aged Tuesday and doubtlessly compelled the blockadng vessels, partie- ularly the torpedo boats, to seek shelter, thus leaving the way clear for dash to Vladivostok Some naval officers, how ever, are inclined to think the firing that was heard at Che Foo, may have been directed only at blockade runners.
 Orders were issued today to all seamen belonging to the battleship Oreil and the cruisers Oleg, zemlichug and Izumrud to rejoin the vessels at Cronstadt immedi- ately. It is believed that this presages the sailing of these vessels tomorrow for Reval, where Emperor Nicholas is going to review the whole Pacific squadron.

GENERAL MILES

ARE CAUSED BY AVARlCE

Boston, October GA public mass meet ing in connection with the International Peace congress was held in Park Street church tonight to discuss the hope for reduction of armament as well as the menace to universal progress of great armies and navies.
 General Nelson A. Miles (retired), Unit ed States army, was the principal speak CT General Miles said in part:
 "The settlement of international contro- versies by the dread arbitration of war involves the destruction of tens of thou sands, and somes times hundreds of thousands of the young men of both countries. Could any rule, code or meth cd be more void of reason or justice?
 "The great majority of wars In the worlds history have been occasioned by the selfish ambition of some usurper or cruel tyrant, the intrigue of unscrupu- lous men. or the avarice and greed of a people. The deadly war now being waged between two powerful nations in the orient cannot benefit either country but must impoverish both for the next hundred years.
 Tt will not benefit mankind, but must retard human progress.
 T have no sympathy for that sentiment of peace that would compromise and ar bitrate with powerful nations, and at the same time overrun, intimidate. subjugate or oppress the people of defenseless countries
 Tt must be apparent to all thought full patriotic men that the intelligent world will not long endure the burden of great standing armies, and enormously expensive navies.
 "Tne question as to what millions of men would do unemployed in military service is answered by the fact that they would become producers instead of con- sumers in the promotion of peaceful arts and industries Our people have won a place in the worlds confidence and re- spect in which we all hold just pride. In the splendid activities there is no sound of warning cannon and dying men.
 "In the most picturesque valley of the world, on the right bank of the beautiful Hudson, there is a great university that will cost when completed s5o,00o.o0o. ded- icated to the gods of war "On the banks of that majestic river there will also be established citadel dedicated to the spirits of peace.

 From all such citizens I request such contributions as they are able and willing to make, for which prompt personal ac- knowledgment will be sent"

Unusual Activity at Mukden.

St. Petersburg, October T. 4:10 a. m.-The war commission sat until an unusually late hour tonight but adjourned without Issuing additional news from the front.
 Opinion is divided as to whetAer a se- rious engagement Is likely to occur at Mukden, but dispatch from Mukden re- porting unusual activity gives rise to much speculation. It is impossible to say whether this condition presages the evacuation of Mukden, but in any case it Is evident that something of unusual in- terest is pending.
 Some even are bold enough to take it that General Kuropatkin is prepar- ing to assume the offensive, but in view of the fact that most reliable ad- vices credit him with only about six di- visions at Mukden, this is exceedingly im- probable.
 It is thought more likely that the com motion had to do with one or the other of the Japanese fianking columns, which the Russian commander may have been pre- pairing to check.
