NO LONGER A SURE THING

Republican organs which nave
been confidently predicting a
sweeping victory for Roosevelt
are beginning to hedge upon their
assertions to that effect. They are
now discovering that the sure
thing they have been talking
about is in fact assuming a most
doubtful appearance. In making
up their tables in the electoral
votes they are now including in
the doubtful class States which
a month ago, they asserted were
sure to vote for Roosevelt. In
diana is the most important OF
these. and there is no denying
the fact any longer that the Re-
publican leaders are feeling most
anxious about the State. They
thought the nomination Of Mr..
Fairbanks for the vice presidency
had firmly anchored Indiana in
the Republican column. But they
had not counted on the selection
of Mr.. Taggart to the Democratic
National craftsmanship. Since
that event it has been growing
upon them that Indiana must be
classed among the doubtful States
and that it is going to be most
fiercely contested by the Demo-
Gratis.
West Virginia was also counted
on as safely Republican until MIR.
Davis was placed upon the Dem
ocratic National ticket, and now
there are strong indications that
it will cast it's vote for him and Mr.
Parker. For in addition to the
strength which Mr.. Davis brought
to the Democratic ticket there are
big dissensions among the Repub-
licans. The bitter contest IN
their State convention left sores
which will not be healed before
the election, and now comes the
split in the Third Congressional
district of the State, which has re-
suited in the nomination of two
Republicans for Congress. The
bad blood thus engendered will
have an outlet on election day,
with damaging results for the Re-
publican National and State tick
cts.

WILL HAVE TELLING EFFECT

The organization Of the Parker
Constitutional club by eminent
LAWYERS of New York city prom
ises to have a telling effect on the
presidential canvass, for it sets
the ball in motion and presents
the constitutional issues raised by
the Roosevelt administration that
will sink deep into the hearts OF
the American people, and espec-
iallv the students of constitutional
law who have been led to inves-
tigate the lawless acts and usurpa-
tions of the President in the siren
nous policies he has forced on the
people, which mean the abroga-
ton of the safeguards OF the
American system of government,
as in the pension edict OF Roose-
welt. the Panama Outrages and
crimes against constitutional gov
eminent amounting to the asser-
ton of the war power as presl-
dental right and prerogatlve.
The list of names of great lawyers
who are promoting the Parker
Constitutional club will be greatly
enlarged as the movement spreads
and it is altogether likely Will
have an important effect on this
year S voting. The basic idea is
that the issue of constitutional as
against personal and autocratlc
government in the United States
is so pressing as to demand the
best efforts in resistance.
The Constituencies cite their
action in the money battles OF
1896 and 1900, where they stood
out for the gold standard and
against the free silver agitation as
not a whit more important than
the crusade they propose against
the lawelss and usurping plans OF
the President. As leading jour-
nal says of these constitutional
lawyers and defenders: "They can
not be sneered at as mere alarm
lists. nor can their motives be
questioned. Accustomed to deal
ing with matters judicial and le-
gal, they have responded to the
clear notes of Judge Parker's
speech" The assertion OF the
need of government of laws and
by law has gone home to them,
and their organization for the
campaign is one of the promptest
proofs of the effectiveness of the
judges utterances, which will be
further emphasized when. he is
heard from on the platform. 1t
will make the campaign of 1904
one of historic Importance and
widespread interest. The great is
sue involved goes to the very life
of the Republic.

Strange Insane
 Case From Bisbee
SHERIFF DEL LEWIS BRINGS MAN OF PECULIAR HALLUCIN-
 ATioNs TO ASYLUM.

Sheriff Del Lewis arrived in town this morning from Bis5ee. He brought with him two insane people. one Charles Winquist and the other Julius Cardinas, says the Phoenix Enterprise. The latter is a very peculiar case. He thinks that he is possessed of very great wealth that is being kept from him. One of bis Authorizations is that he has a trunk full of money in the keeping of Zeckendorf of Tucson He is anxious to get this money. In addition to the money Cartinas believes that he has a large herd of cattle. mules eEa horses. He is wor- ried a great deal about these animals, and seems to think that some one is trying to get them away from him. All Cardinas thinks about is money and live stock. One evening he want cd to write 3 check for s10, 1000, which was to be taken to Zeckendorf, who ! would pay the sum out of the trunk. He believes that all he has to do 10 get any sum of money is to write g check for it.
 The Unsound condition of Cardinas dates hack tc an event that took place in Bisbee about two years ago. Since that time he has fallen away from a man weighing about 2G0 pounds 0 al- most a skeleton.
 About two years ago CarGinas shct and killed a man in front of Henk els iewelry store on Main street. He i'm mediately walked across the street and gave his s1n ID Charles Thomas, who was .h-r .. depr;v sheriff
 Cariinas was rlaced n trial fer the killing, but managat 70 escape runish- ment on the ground that he hal acted in self-defensa though tEa evidence against him was very positive
 In his defense Cardinas stated that the man he killed had done him a great injury by mixing in his family affairs. He swore that just before he fired the fatal shct his victim had attempted to strike him or draw a gun, and he fired to save his life
 To secure money for his defense Cardinas mortgaged property now worth between s15,00O and $20 900. He was never able to redeem the pledges he made and lost the property This, in addition to the killing and a separation from his wife, unniuged lis mind.

The word Japan comes from the Portugese pronunciation of the Jap anese characters. "Ni-Hon," meaning the land of the rising sun.
 A Japanese officer who has not reached the rank of major at the age of 48 is compulsorily retired as un- worthy of further service.
 The true name of Korea is "Cho- son." meaning Land of the Morning Calm" It is by this name that the country is designated in diplomatic papers at the state department at Washington.
 Japanese soldiers are fed on rice, salted fish. dried seaweed and picked plums-o diet that is almost universal in Japan, except in the navy, where rations of meat are served. Soldiers are allowed meat when on campaigns, but rarely eat it
 This is the fourth time Japan has made war on foreign nation, except for early barbaric expeditions against the Koreans.

PHOENIX & EASTERN RAILROAD
Construction Begun on Twin Butte
 Bridge Over the GiIa.

General Manager Drake, of the Phoenix 6 Eastern, was in the city yesterday, en route 70 Prescott after the end Of the Phoenix & Eastern track, says the Fhoen,x Republican He says work c1 rhe Gila river bridge ct the Twin buttes was begun Wednes. day and will be carri :i Upward as zap idly as possible. The bridge unGer construction Is the ,-manent struc ture, with concre5e piers, and it is es- timated that t s'iil require couple oi months to complete it. It vii, prob ably take equally IS long to finish the rock tunnel just this side. Tracklay- ing will have to stop until after these enterprises. are finished.
 The railroad will cross back to the north side of the river a short distance this side of Kelvin. Whether a per manent bridge will be put in there at first, or d temporary structure to per nit the passage of construction trains beyond, Is not yet determined. Tn either event, the work on the sec. ond bridge will not be cone, of course till the first Is completed. so it will necessarily be some time before the roaf can reach Kelvin.

 EVENING.
Before U. Commissioner Pirtie in Douglas on Charge of Embezziement of United States Funds in Douglas Post Office.

J. NJ. Pickart, the late assistant postmaster at Douglas, who was re- cently arrested and charged with em- bezzlement of public money, in being the cause of shortage alleged to have existed in the post office of the smelter city. had hearing last even ing at Douglas. before United States Commissioner Pirtle. Considerable testimony was introduced at the hear ing, and was of such a character that the commissioner decided, to send the case up to the United States Grand Jury for further bearing, and Mir. Pickart was held in the sum of one thousand dollars to appear befcre that body. l. is but fair to say that Mir. Pickart is known to have talked free ly with frien6s in Douglas as long ago as last December about a shortage ex- isting in the monies cf the post office. and for which he could not account. and talked of the matter on several occasions.
 Mir. Pickart was appointed to the po- sition of assistant postmaster by Post master Caldwell, and the former was rot under bond. so that the loss of any monies whatever fell upon the post master himself. he and his bond osmen being responsible for all losses to the government, and Uncle Samuel is very careful to see that he gets all that is coming to him.

 Douglas Is one of the best cities l have seen lately, and from present in- dications will be largely increased in the near future. Douglas will soon have the big Copper Queen smelter in operation there, as the company ex- poets to be able to start in about two weeks with a force of five hundred men I was also told that the com pany would put on an additional force of five hundred men in the mines at Bisbee. as soon as the Douglas plant was in operation.
 "Bisbee is also a good point and one that will always be such. as the mining comDany there is still improv- ing it's property, and then there are other companies opening up good properties close to Bisbee, which will help that city.
 T noticed while there that the Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad was starting the work on its new depot al that point. The new depot will be To- cated out in the edge of the city, where there will be more room for handling the company's business than is furnished ty the present cramped quarters"

The Japanese deployed westward from the vicinity of Chuchiatun and. confronting the Russian line east of the railroad, began an advance at an early hour on Sunday morning. At o'clock the Japanese right had reached bluff little less tn m two miles from Tai Ping Mountain. At , o'clock in the afternoon the Russian batteries posted in various positions on high ground opened with vigor and shelled the ad- vancing Japanese line. The strength of the Russians gradually developed during the day and General Oku esti- mated it at five divisions and one hum dred guns The Russian fire prevented a general advance and determined Gen. Ol1u to decide to await the advent of darkness to deliver a night assault. Two divisions of Russians occupied the Saicheng road and Gen. Oku took the precautionary measure of engaging this force with artillery. The Russians re- piled with artillery and the duel lasted until darkness.
 Suddenly at 10 o'clock Sunday night the entire Japanese right was hurled against the first Russian position east and west of Tai Ping Mountain and easily captured it. At midnight the sec ond position was attacked :tnd by dawn inc Japanese occupied the eminence to the east of Shanchiatun. The Russians
 were in retreat toward Ia TShe Kiao At o'clock Monday morning the Jap anese seized Chenshishan without re- sistance and pursued the Russian force toward Ia Tche Kiao.

RYAN WILL COME BACK
The Turfman Consents After an Att
 tempt at Delay.

New York. July 27.-After an all day conference between his counsel and representatives of the circuit attorney's office at St. Louis, John J. Ryan, the turfman, who was arrested at Brigh- ton Beach race track yesterday after noon on a charge of grand larceny to the amount of $SOO,OO0. today consent ed to return to St. Louis in custody without further protest. Ryan had been released on bond last night and presented himself at the office of the district attorney here early today.
 In the meantime, however. his at torney had proposed to resist the St. Louis officers. They contended that Ryan had already been put in jeop1 ardy on the same charge; that he was not the person desired in the com plaint, and that he would be subjected to great financial loss and inconven- fence if compelled to leave New York at this time. The attorneys explained that Ryan had arranged to sell his horses here tomorrow and that he de- sired to be present at the sale. In view of these conditions, they declar- ed that in the event of the St. Louis officers moving for immediate action they would ask for a writ of habeas corpus for the release of their client from custody. On the other hand, if little time were allowed, Ryan would agree to return to St. Louis without trouble.
 When this situation was explained to Circuit Attorney Folk at St. Louis by long distance phone he first consented to parole Ryan upon the latter's prom ise to present himself at St. Louis after the date for his trial had been fixed. Later in the day, however, the circuit attorney informed his representatives here that such a plan would be imprac- | ticable as the law would not perrni; him to give bail in this state on a war rant issued in St. Louis
