BIG CAMPAIGN OPENED
Four Republican Speakers of Promi
hence Talk of Purpose Of Party
and Discuss Questions,

Manchester. VT. Aug. 24.-Four
speakers of national prominence opened
the republican presidential campaign in
this state.
Robert r. Lincoln. former minister to
England. presided. In his Introductory
remarks he ~endeavored to show how
closely the ~guhernatorial election in
Vermont was watched by the entire
country. and that the vote polled at
that time would be an index of the
vote at the presidential election. He
urged a heavy vote.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson was
the chief speaker OF the evening. He re-
viewed the past history and the present
purpose of the republican PARTY and
discussed the Philippine question and
the tariff. Referring to the question
that American manufactured articles
are sold cheaper abroad than at home.
the secretary said he a received let
tiers from nearly all the manufacturers
of agricultural machinery in this coun-
try informing him that their products
were sold cheaper in the United States
than they were abroad. Implements
that We're not of the latest pattern, he
said. would bring a higher price abroad
than they did in the United States.
Secretary Wilson closed with n resume
OF the work by the department of agri-
culture.
Brief addresses We're made by Sem
ators Redfeld. Proctor and William P.

GERMANY FEARS FOR RUSSIA.
High Officials Say That kuropatki
May Re Forced to Surrender,

High Officials Say That kuropatkin
May BE Forced to Surrender.
Berlin. Aug. 2s.-since the kaiser, a
few days ago. expressed himself freely
on the war situation in the far east,
high military officials here. who. up to
this time. have been very guarded in
alton in Manchuria. have been less re-
served. and all agree that the position
of General Kuropatkin is very critical.
They believe he probably will be forced
to surrender his army as soon as the
fall OF Port Arthur shall enable the
Japanese to attack him in force. In
official circles 1t is also admitted that
there is anxiety hat China may be-
come the ally of Japan, which would
mean European intervention.
The current number of the Berlin
MISUNDERSTANDING, the army organ,
speaks pessimistically OF the present
position of General Kuropatkin's army
and of its future prospects. II a re-
treat beyond Liao Yang is planned or in
progress. 1t says. the Russians can hard
ly avoid further battles with heavy
losses. especially on the east frontier.
On the other hand. to give battle south
Of Lao Yang would be dangerous, be-
cause the condition OF the army, If de-
feated. with the impossible Taitse
river in the rear. would be critical in
the extreme.
The paper says that by the narrowing
Of the Japanese front. which is now
sixty miles instead OF 12O miles long,
the Russians have lost the opportu-
nifty to attack and defeat the japanese
in detail.

IN PUBLIC
Body of Negro cremated at Cedar
*own, Ga,

. IA sOVHI Nd
Cedartowr, Ga, Aug. 24.-Jim Glover.
a negro, was shot to death near the
home of the white girl he had assaulted
and his body dragged a distance of
about a mile into this city and burned
on the public square. A mob estimated
at 500 composed the shooting and burn
ing party.
The crime for which the negro was
thus punished was criminal assault
upon Levia Reeves. the 13-year-old
daughter of a farmer.
The true story OF the crime is the
most revolving that had ever been CIV
en- to the public from this immediate
section Of the country. After the little
girl had protected the negro from the
attack Of a large dog, owned by her
father, he followed her to the pasture,
where she was taking q COW, caught
her, choked her into insensibility and
left her bleeding and unconscious in a
corn field. This occurred early yester-
day morning.
The negro was captured some dis
lance away late yesterday afternoon
and carried to the home Of the girl,
who unhesitatingly identified him as
her assailant. In the meantime a
crowd of fully 500 persons had gathered
and summary Justice was meted out to
the negro as soon as 1t was learned
that the young girl had positively iden-
titled him as the right man.
The negro confessed his guilt. Imme-
diately the crowd took him away from
the posse which had captured him and
his body vas riddled with bullets and
afterward burned.

WILL MAKE NO SPEECHES
1t is Given Out on Behalf of Judge
Parker That He Will Continue to
Be Silent.

Esopus. N. Y, Aug. 24.-It was made
plain at Rosemount today that there is
no certainty of Judge Parker making
any speeches in the west in II
ton with his ST. Louis trip, or at any
other time or place. The principle on
which Judge Parker will act in the
matter was learned from an intimate
associate Of the Judge, who said:
Judge Parker has no faith in the
utility of speechmaking for its own
sake. and will make no speeches any
where for the mere purpose of ppear-
ing in n given locality. He believes a
stamping tour by a presidential cam
didate to be improper and will under
take no such tour. The only condi-
ton on which he will make any speech
anywhere will be the fact that he has
some definite thing to say, II that he
is convinced by his own reason that
some given time and place best suit the
saying of 1t, and then. You nay say
with the utmost confidence that under
no other conditions will Judge Parker
make any Speech ywhere

less damage to stocks. The street car

Lightning struck several houses. The

and q panic ensued among the 400 dele

st. Petersburg. Aug. GA report
from Chefoo that the Russians have
driven the Japanese out of the position
1T P~alichwang (Palungschang), whence
they had been bombarding the forts OF
Port Arthur. is received with consid-
erable qualification at the war office,
where 1t is regarded as evidence that
the defenders are strong enough to
take the offensive when occasion de.
mands. F'or this reason the war office
is 10 inclined to credit the reports
that the Japanese have captured two
forts just beyond Nagouship hill, five
miles northeast of Port Arthur. 1t is
admitted that possession of these forts
would render the situation of the be.
sieged desperate.
All military operations in Manchuria
have, 1t is asserted, been stopped by
the rains. Torrential downpours have
swept away many bridges, and traffic
on the railroad is temporarily sus.
pended.
The defeats which the Russians have
suffered only seem to increase Rus

He Is Watching Developments in tn,
East with Much Concern.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 24.-Presi~
dent Roosevelt today enjoyed a period
of rest and recreation uninterrupted
either by public business or callers.
Comparatively few visitors will be re-
ceived. Such as do come will be con-
fined to government officials, personal
friends and a few politicians whom
National Chairman Cortelyou may wish
the president to see. It is announced
that the rule requiring all those who
call on the president to make engage
ments in advance of their coming will
be adhered to strictly.
Mr.. Roosevelt is deeply concerned
over the situation in the far east, par
ticularly in regard to the preservation
OF the neutrality Of that part of China
not included in the Russo-Japanese
zone of war. He realizes fully the
seriousness of the complications which
may develop at any moment, and is
keeping in close touch with events in
the orient. All information bearing
upon the situation is being communal
Gated promptly to him by the state
