Platform and Candidate the Bur-
den of His Speech.
Atlanta, Sept. Thomas T.. Wat
son, candidate for President of the
Peoples Party addressed an immense
audience in the hall of the House of
Representatives. of the Georgia Legis-
lature tonight. He spoke, in part, as
follows:
In this campaign the Democratic
national leaders are demanding that
they shall be blindly followed in spite
of the fact that they have renounced
every principle of Democracy. VIII the
real Democrats follow the name rather
than the principle?"
He then launched into the negro
question and the attitude Of the Dem
ocratlc party toward the negro. He
declared that five successive National
Democratic conventions, from 1872 to
1888, protested their allegiance to the
doctrine of equality" regardless of
race or color, and pledged themselves
to maintain the emancipation and the
enfranchisement of the blacks.

said Mr.. Watson. I'VE are now brow

leaders who say we must indorse heir

do? He has been disfranchised In

not dare to disfranchise him because
the men who control the Democratic

ST. PETERSBURG STIRRED
BY DISASTROUS NEWS.
Managed, However, TO Find a Rift
in the Clouds.

Managed, However, TO Find a Rift
in the Clouds.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 2-1:26 am
The news of the excavation of Lao
Yang and the withdrawal of the Rus
sian army to the right bank of the
Taitse river, reached only small
section of the people of st. Peters
burg at a late hour and caused intense
excitement and disappointment.
The majority of the inhabitants re-
tired to rest, believing that the Rus
sian arms had again been successful
and that the Japanese attacks had
been repelled. Ugly suspicious, how
ever, had been rife during the day,
owing to the absence of press tele-
grams from Lao Yang, leading to the
belief that the communications had
been cut by Gen. Kuroki.
The following statement was OBJ
tanned by the Associated Press from
the War Office at 10 o'clock Thursday
night:
How They snatched Victory from
Defeat.
Gen. Kurokis army crossed in force
TO the right bank of the Taitse river,
and it therefore became necessary for
the Russians to be in a position to
repel blow in this direction.
In view of this development in the
operations Gen. Kuropatkin decided
TO abandon his positions on the left
oank, and to concentrate his whole
army on the other side Of the river.
This position is the strongest both
IN character and in site. The great
issue will be finally decided there.
BY withdrawing to this position
IN Russian army avoids the danger
ot being divided by the river and en-
JOYS the advantage of compactness.
Gen. Kuropatkin's move. therefore,
Is not to be considered as a retreat,
out rather as the carrying out of a
well defined idea"
The withdrawal of the Russians to
the right bank involved the abandon
ment of Lao Yang, which is situat-
ed on the left bank. The Japanese

STATEMENT IN DETAIL.

The Financier says:
The prominent features Of the official state
ment of the New York associated banks this
week were increases to new high records in loans
and in deposits and important reduction in
cash holdings, resulting in decreased surplus
reserve. The loan expansion of 200 was,
as has been the in previous weeks due
chiefly to corporation and Stock Exchange loan
ing. though it would appear that the former
quite moderate.

The increase of 49, 212, 700 in deposits makes the

since Jan. has been $40, 997.
The cash showed net reduction of s., 4s3, 100,
legal tenders falling off 81 s72 500 and specie in
creasing $4S9.4OO. whereas the estimates. which
were based upon the traceable movements of
