 President Roosevelt.

New York, Sept. 17.-The following letter concerning the democratic text book was made public by George F. Parker, chief of the democratic literary department tonight: 'Rosemount, Oct. :, 1904: My Dear MT. Parker; The Times of this morning says that the party text book is about prepared and that it will go to the printer in a few days. Therefore, 1 hasten to beg you to see to it that there is no word in it that reflects upon the personal hon or and integrity of President ROOse- welt.
 An Evening Post editorial indicates that but little care was taken in that direction toward myself by the comPil- CT of the Republican text book, but let there be no rejoinder in kind or other wise.

Official news from the seat of war in the far east is still lacking but the war office at St. Petersburg appears not to anticipate a great battle in the inn mediate future. Officials believe the Japanese will not hurry on an engage ment with General Kuropatkin owing to the fact that the latter has had time since the evacuation of Liao Yang to strengthen his forces materially and tEat the movement of Japan will be directed against Tie pass.

RUSSIANS UNScARED.
They Believe if There is Another Bat tie it Will be at Kuropatkin's Election.


 St. Petersburg. Sept. I7.-There has been an entire absence of official news from the front today The war office is displaying no special anxiety over the continual skirmishing on the Hanks of the Russian army, regarding it as the natural desire of the Japan ese to keep in touch with the Rus sian forces, rather than a premOnItory symptom of a forward movement by Commander-in- Chief Oyama's army, which the authorities are not inclined to believe can occur within a fort night unless large achievements have been received and the work of getting up supplies has been done more quick ly than was supposed to be possible. The Japanese were unable to follow up their victory at LiaO Yang when the time was ripe. The war office sees no reason for the feverish desire on their part to come in touch with General Kuropatkin now that he has had time to recuperate his forces.
 The question as to whether a big bat tie will be fought in the vicinity oi Mukden is considered here to depend chiefly upon General Kuropatkin. as it is not believed that the Japanese will be able 10 force him to fight al AIukden unless he SO elects. The gen eral idea is that when the advance really comes the Japanese will simply outflank Mukden and go direct agains Tie Pass.
 The movement of the Japanese lanC forces and the appearance Of a lars' flotilla in the I-iao river are believed t support this view. While military cir cles here realize the strategic weaknes of Mukden, there are political an' sentimental reasons why General Kur opatkin may desire to hold as lon as possible the home of the Manchl dynasty. They believe in spite of off cial intimations and press reports froE Mukden to the contrary, that there wi

A PARIS SCARE.
The Probability of Reckoning With
 the Yellow Peril.

Paris, Sept. IA wave of popu- lar agitation against the yellow periT' has resulted here from Japan's recent remarkable display of force. This ap- prehension is shared to a considerable extent in official circles where it was suggested today that the danger might compel the European powers to con sider the necessity of effecting a coal ition for self defense against the peril Newspapers and political readers also emphasize the growth of the peril. Henri Rochefort says 1t behooves Europe to take warning in time. He asserts that France will be one of the first to suffer through Japan's design on Indo- China.

there are relations between China and the Japanese and of the possibility that Japan will turn over Port Arthur to the Chinese when it is captured Japanese successes embolden the Chinese more and more and the Rus sians expect the war to take on a new phase as Chinese neutrality vanishes
 which the powers, in the face of their agreement to preserve China's neu-
 trality, cannot ignore.

AT SOUTH ST. PAUL.
Order of Donnelly as to Second Strike
 Obeyed.

Obeyed.
 South St. Paul, July 22.-The butch CTS in Swift & Co.'s plant were called out today.
 The plants started today with all the men, according to Manager Bangs, that the company could take on and every thing was going smoothly.
 Business Agent Steep of the union when called on by the Associated Press stated that the packers had violated their agreement from the start. lie said that only about 60 per cent. of the strikers had been taken back and 1n- timated that there were other unsat- isfactory features. While he was talk ing the Associated Press bulletin ar rived from Chicago. stating that Pres ident Donnelly had called the men out again.

ployment, while others were expecting reinstatement later.
 As soon as the strike had been re- newed by the packing trades, proper appeals were made to the numerous al- lied trades to join in the movement. Much centered on the Teamsters' Union. President Golden of that union, said he could not consider a strike un- til a special meeting of the men had so voted. He said he would call such a meeting for tonight of Association of Teamsters joint council to ratify a walkout for tomorrow night. Mir Golden also began to arrange a con- ference of the union chiefs who signed Wednesdays memorandum of agree- ment.
 President Donnelly's intention to spread the strike to all affiliated unions was demonstrated by his calling up the officials for the packing central body with specific demand.
 Restless crowds filled the streets of Packingtown all day after the order ing of the second strike. Several dis turbances took place in the morning and early afternoon, but no arrests were made. As soon as it grew dark however. especially after the news had reached the district that no agree men had been reached at the down toWH conferences, small Slzcd rlOtS were numerous and it kept the police busy until far into the night scatter ing the belligerents.
 Girl Mobbed by Strikers.
 In one of these disturbances, a young girl named Josie Rominsky, who had taken a strikers place in one of the plants. was mobbed by nearly a thousand boys ands girls. The Romin- sky girl was set upon by the crowd while she was on her way home. She was chased for several blocks and pelted with mud and stones. When she finally reached home she fell in a heap on the door step, exhausted from fright and bruises.
 The girl was dragged into the house by her father before the crowd could reach her. Seeing that she had es- capped them, they commenced battering the house with stones and bricks. A riot call was sent in and it took wagon load of policemen to disperse the youthful rioters.
 In another disturbance in the vicin- ity of the stock yards a negro, an al- legged strike breaker, was attacked by crowd of men. and before he could be rescued by the police, was thrown to the ground and kicked by the mob He was picked up unconscious, but re- covered quickly and was taken home by the police.

NCQnunucu IEOH EuEC Ouc.b egram was accordingly sent to all un- ions.
 The breaking of the agreement, as alleged by President Donnelly, on the part of the packers and the end- ing of all peace plans on the part or the unions came as violent surprise to the public despite the widespread knowledge that the men were Tar from satisfied with conditions conse- auent upon the signing of the terms of peace.
 A summary action of the strike leaders in ordering renewal Of hos tilities was followed by equally Vigor- ous efforts at restoration or peace As A result the news of the strike or- der was followed within an hour by an announcement that a joint conference at the offices of Armour & Co. had been arranged to take place this at- ternoon between the packing house proprietors and the labor leaders.
 The purpose of the conference was stated to be to discuss the alleged un- just discrimination on the part of the packers.

 Immediately upon hearing that the strike had been renewed telegrams were sent by City Controller McGann to recall Mayor Harrison to the city. The Mayor had gone on a vacation after the strike had been apparently settled He left for Marquette, Mich, where he was to take boat to-day.
 Not since the beginning of the strike had such degree of activity been ob- served in the stock yards to-day. Long before the whistles blew for the men to enter the crowds had begun to gath CT at the various gates.
 Exchange avenue was packed with humanity. There were few cases of personal violence on the part of the strike SympatnlzeTs, through the slFih- CTS needing President Donnellys ad- vice to avoid trouble, and let non-un- ion men pass generally without moles- tation. The strikers when they ap- peared at the packing house carried their tools and overalls and were ir fine humor. When the men found thai the packers expected to take back only a small proportion to-day the smiles changed to growls A committee was quickly appointed and was sent to in. terview the packing house superin- tendents.
 The committee returned with long faces and reported the situation. Howls of rage went up, and the packers were cursed roundly. Then the great army of strikers turned and filed out of the yards.

 Three theories have been suggested l to account for this tendency. One IS evaporation. another irrigation ana the third that there exists subterra- mean outlet. The last mentioned theory is little better than a guess, but the first theory Is unquestionably true to certain extent. though whether 1t will account for the rapidity with which the level has been lowered in recent years Is doubtful. As for irrt- gation more evidence can be produced
 to show its effects in decreasing the
 water supply of the lake. Irrigation
 was commenced by Brigham Young in
 the forties. but it was not till 1880 that
 1t was adopted on a larger scale. and 1t
 is within the period since then that
 the lowering of the level has been
 most swift
 There are indications on the moun- tain sides. and also on the nine moun-
 tainous islands in the lake that the depth of the water was once 500 feet greater than at present. We are there fore witnessing now the speedy com
 pletion of a physical change that has
 been in progress for many centuries Most great physical transformations of
