The Value Of Facts.

Is
we have read with keen interest the
able address of Mr.. Alexander Hamilton,
president, before the Virginia Bar Assoc
ciation. The subjectSof MI. Hamilton's
address was Plea for the Just Falua.-6
ton OF Facts. 49, He paid tribute to
g"cld Virginia lawyers, but declared that that
they thought nlbre Of oratory than they
did of the facts in5the case.
N 1--WE are their Interiors;, said he, I'm;
what may be called the technique ofthes
Law. in classical learning, In public or
political law, and in oratory; but !
Learn they were not altogether perfect.
and would probably not have suited our
times better than we theirs. With them
facts were not regarded as of serious
moment compared with legal points or
orator'y; a knowledge of affairs was of
ten either wholly wanting. or business
matters and fresults were treated with
or .despised ass beneath the
consideration Of a gentleman.at the bar;
the result Of a tral was a victory or
defeat for the lawyer: it's result to the
illtigant2 Il mere Incident TO the contest
This Is Il practical age and nothing
counts but facts. In a broader sense
Al may be said that in this day5and gem
Grafton there Is more than in any age
of the past an earnest, honest search for
The truth in all departments Of life. 1t
is noble quest II frequently REQUIRES
earnest and honest Investigation to ass
certain the truth and sometimes 1t re-
dulres great moral courage to proclaim
It. I'VE are apt to shut our eyes against
a painful truth" There is a disposition
with most Of us TO conceal the skeletons
In our closets from the public gaze. Aye,
we sometimes try to conceal them from
ourselves and To make believe that they
arc not there. But that sort Of conceal
mont can accomplish no good thing. Els

Let tbs say to our esteemed con tempo
rary.3 the Charlotte observer, that The
Times Dispatch is by no means disposed
to- quarrel with those Democrats who find
/. difficult to lift their voices and shout
for the st. Louis platform and the rtorii-
nee we concede to every Democrat the
same rights which we claim for The
Times-D ispatch--the right to think and
speak and actor himself, regardless or
the dictum Of the party; the right to 3
Ecrlttcisa the platform and the nominee,
and the right to refuse to support either.
We have no quarrel with any indepen--l8
detit.man who has the courage OF his con-
5vlctlons. we exercise Ourselves day and
night to haze charity for all, malice to-
ward none. But that does not keep us !
from wondering how any Democrat In n
the South can grurnble al either the
Democratic platform or the party nomi-9
nee in 1904, and especially how he can
hesitate as between Parker and Roose-
Welt, Nor do we believe that any consid-ls
erable number OF such Democra IS will
hesitate. There is some complaining Just
now, but we are still hoping and belev-
ing that all Democrats will be together

OPPOSING FORCES IN

Washington, May 29.-The following
cablegram has been received at the
japanese legation:
Toxic, May 29.-Gen. Oku command
ing the army attacking Kin Chou. re-
ports that in the attack on Nan Shan
hill, the fourth division formed the
right wing. the third division the left
wing, and the first division the center.
The enemy consisted of one division of
the field army and two batteries of
field artillery besides fortress artil-
lery and marines.
THE fourth division, taking advan-
tage Of the enemy's left wing which
was weakened by the bombardment
from our fleet at Kin Chou bay finally
succeeded in carrying the enemy's posi-
ton, while other divisions Immediately
followed it up. Thereupon the enemy
retreated in confusion, exploding maya
zines at Tafangshin.
The trophies of the battle consist OF
sixty-eight guns and ten machine guns,
besides many other things. Our cas-
ualties are estimated at about $500

JAPANESE MAY HAVE
CRUISER BAYAN TRAPPED

Che Foo, May 29, 4 p. m.--Dalny has
been practically evacuated, according
to the statements OF Sikh and Russian
refugees arriving here to-day by junk.
All valuable, ammunition and most Of
the troops have been taken to Port
Arthur. The only civilians remaining
are the electrical engineers in charges
of the mines laid in the harbor, and
also those set to destroy docks and
piers.
One large Russian warship, probably
the armored cruiser Bayan, and three
torpedo boats reached Talien Wan bay
on Tuesday last, the oath instant, from
Port Arthur, and 1t was doubtless this
vessel which attacked the japanese left
wing during the battle at Kin Chou
on the 18th Instant. a
The junks just arrived here on the
way down passed fourteen Japanese
war vessels nine miles outside Dalny.

tured.

CONTRADICTORY RUM0RS
ARE FLYING AT SEOUL

Seoul, Korea, May 90. p. m.-Con-
tinuous and conflicting reports con-
corning the movements of the Rus
slams are being received from Korean
sources, with wild guesses as to the
number of men seen. while owing to
the difference existing between the Ko-
rean and Japanese pronunciation. it
is difficult to determine the different
localities mentioned.
In reliable quarters here the pres
ent Russian strength in the province
of Ham Heung is estimated at about
1000 men, with twelve guns, who, it
is anticipated, will be reinforced in the
near future. The Cossacks claim that
600 cavalry and 1900 infantry are now
following in their rear. The main
body of the invaders are advancing by
two routes, lanked and preceded by
small scouting parties. 1t is not
known whether their objective point
is Ping Yang or Gen San, the latter
being an easy prey, the town stretch
ing along the beach in a cup-like
hollow, formed by the surrounding
hills.
According to the latest report the
Cossacks have occupied Puk Chong,
and it is known that the japanese are
preparing to resist their advance. 1t
is now probable that a column will be
sent north from Gen San and a body
Of infantry left here to-day to rein
force the garrison stationed at that
town.
