CARBON is THREATENED.
Russia Faces q Foe More Fatal Than
That ON Her Frontier.


LONDON, July 29.-The failure of
the reactionary system in Russia,
Of which the murdered Minister
of the Interior was a typical rep
resentative, is the leading theme
taken up by the editorials in this
mornings newspapers, which comment
with horror on this latest political
crime as a stain on the pages of Rus
sian history. Little surprise is felt at
the removal of a man who. although
honest and able and we'll meaning, was
regarded as the evil genius Of his
country The editorials generally ex-
tend the utmost sympathy to the Car,
who is surrounded with such difficult
ties both at home and abroad.
The Daily Telegraph says there is
no mistaking the meaning of the blow
The red sDecter has reappeared at an
unhappy stage of Russian history. and
the system of Czardom is again threat
ened at its heart by an enemy destined
sooner or later to be more fatal than
the enemy on the frontier. The wonder
is that Won Plehwe has so long es-
capped his doom.
Extended accounts Of Won Plehwe's
career accompany the descriptions Of
his assassination. 1t is alleged that he
spent as much as 100000 yearly in po-
lice measures for his personal protec-
tiOn. This is probably exaggerated
but it is known the expense of the Sc
cret service has been greatly augment
ed under his regime.

Russians Say Marquis Oyama in Person
Commanded the japanese at
TatchekiaO.

LIAOYANG, Wednesday, July 27.-
The Russian retirement from Tat
chekiao was terribly CALLING to the
rank and file, who, after two days
hard fighting, held their positions and
believed themselves on the eve of a
great victory.
Colonel Paschenko, whose battery
distinguished itself, had a marvellous
escape. He was thrown bodily into the
air by the explosion of a melinite
shell, but was unharmed and continued
to fight. Later he was wounded in
the hand while waving signal to the
gunnerS.
AT o'clock the extreme left of the
Russians was ordered to attack. The
movement was anticipated by the Jap
aneSe, however, who hurled themselves
on the Russian position. The Bar
naoulsk regiment bore the brunt of the
shock and after a hard fight drove off
the Japanese in disorder at the point of
the bayonet.
Marquis Oyama, commander in chief
Of the Japanese field forces, is reported
to have been personally in command.
The Japanese loss at Tatchekiao is
estimated at from 1000 to 5000, resulting
chiefly from their attempt to take en-
trenched positions in the face of a
heavy artillery fire.
LONDON, July 29.-Ihe Daily Mall
Newchwang correspondent, in long
description of the battle Of Tatchekiao,
which mainly repeats the details al
ready known, says it was not until the
Japanese attacked all along their front
that the Russians retreated. The Jap
anese artillery was immeasurably su-
perior and their shrapnel frightfully
destructive. Russian gunners went
down by hundreds, but their guns were
served with magnificent bravery.
The Russian officers, the correspond
ent adds, speak in the highest terms
of the bravery of their men. They say
Russia already has lost one campaign,
owing to the recklessness Of the Czar
advisers, but that she must have Man
churia and that she is now preparing
for another campaign.

where the Press Is Free" {"

The Prince Of Montenegro, has no
use for libel laws to restrain the news
papers and editors are not punished
for contempt Of court. This does not
arise so much from the liberality Of
the rulers principle as from the fact
that he is himeslf the owner and ed
itor Of the only newspaper published
in his dominions. The paper is called
Glas Cznogorca, which is interpreted
to mean THE Voice Of the Montene-
grin" 1t is said that the paper yields
a large revenue and no doubt Prince
Nil1ila has a fine collection Of free
passes.

Slow Trains of Spain.

Trains in Spain are certainly slow.
A rate of ten or twelve miles an hour
is considered a good average OF speed
for everyday travellers. When the
Spanish officials wish to show visiting
foreigners what they really can ac-
complish in the way of rapidity, they
offer express trains which dash madly
across the landscape at an average rate
of fifteen or eighteen miles an hour. In
one way this proves an advantage. for
the traveller sees a great deal more
scenery for his money than If he were
rushed past it swiftly.-Tid-B Bits.

EN- ROUTE TO RED SEA.
Russian Second Glass Cruisers to Re-
place Volunteer Ships.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 2S.-The
Russ to-day prints an editorial on the
case of the knight Commander, which
is believed to reflect the attitude of
the Foreign Office. 1t quotes extern
sively. from the "Perilous Working of
International Law" German stand
ard on maritime law, to show there is
justification for sinking a prize in case
the vessel is too old and slow, when
there is difhs1lty in getting her TO the
nearest home port and where there is
danger of recapture.
1t is understood that the Don and
the Ural, commissioned yesterday by
Russia as second-class cruisers are al
ready on their way to the Red Sea
to take the place of the st. Petersburg
and Smolensk of the volunteer fleet.

sassination of Won Plehwe caused great
regret and horror in official quarters, in
which it is regarded as a severe blow
to Russia and an event of considerable
International Importance. The impress
sion prevails in we'll informed circles
that his death will greatly weaken the
influence of the powerful war party, fa-
voring an aggressive policy in Man
churia, of which Won Plehwe with
Viceroy Alexieff, Grand Duke Mikhailo-
witch, Bezobrazoff and General
Wogack, as seconds, was the most
prominent member, thus possibly in
fluencing the future course Of events in
the Far East.
The fact that Won Plehwe, who was
notoriously autocratic, was assassin
ated shortly after manifesting more
liberal tendencies, especially regarding
Jewish questions, causes mech com

Cumming. The lower court had given
Judgment virtually forbidding the
strikers to interfere in any way with
the business of the employer, or to do
any of the things which workingmen
consider they have right to do in or.
der to make strike effective. Judge
Parker delivered the opinion of the
Court of Appeals, strongly unfolding
the rights Of workingmen on strike or
about to strike, and laying solid
foundation for labor to stand on in all
such matters In the future.
These are but examples Of the atti-
tude of Judge Parker toward labor
from the very beginning Of his career.
They show him to be labor's friend in
real and practical sense. His decis-
ions speak for themselves. They
breathe that spirit of justice. impartial
ity and fairness which Is all that labor
asks for in the advocacy of its rights.
and they prove Judge Parker to be en-
tirely fearless in his opposition to those
grasping employers who, If they were
not restrained by such decisions as
those of Judge Parker, would seek 10

man.
With Judge Parker in the White
House American labor would have

like President Roosevelt, who talks

Colorado is presented to him shlrks his

Judge Parker's record as q friend Of
labor speaks for itself.
Every true friend of labor will vote

OF all the speeches made during the

ers' Association. none has attracted
greater attention than that of Mr.. John
Mitchell. Jr., a negro. a respected cit

Richmond, Va. He discussed the color
line in the South from point of view
which gained for him the respect and
hearty applause of the thousand or
more tinanciers who heard his re.

The sum and substance of Mr.. Nit.

whites and blacks of the South are
friends, and that there would be no
such thing as serious race question
In the South. but for the good for moth

average value of $172,000.000 a year.
When you hear a reputable Southern

Republican Newspapers Never Weaker
in Support Of Their Ticket.

If any one doubts that Republican

glance over the editorial columns of
the Republican newspapers of New

one to point the way to overwhelming
and deserved disaster" Just think of
that for paper shat shines for ALL"
The Press throws fragrant bouquets
to Higgins. but says, "An otherwise
excellent ticket has probably been dam
gerously injured by the nomination Of
Bruce for Lieutenant-Governor. and
whether Republicans can reconcile
themselves to supporting him in suf-
ficient numbers to elect him will re-
main in doubt" Think of that for q
paper that boasts of its regularity in
swallowing any sort Of ticket which
the Republican bosses dare put up.
To round out this impressive display
Of harmony and brotherly love, the Wall
Street Journal. in a double headed ed
itorial, pelts the whole ticket with
brickbats and decayed vegetables. This
able exponent of Republicanism de-
clares in SO many words that the jig
