New York Sun Special Service.
New York, April 14.-After having
tried for two years and five months to
make a. success Of the New York Daily
News, Frank A. Munsey has deter
mined to retire.
''Within a month T shall have sew
cred my connection absolutely with
the News" said Mr.. Munsey. Il have
resorted to every expedient knew to
make the paper successful but have
been met with the remarkable propo-
sition that at each fresh expenditure
Of considerable money the circulation,
instead Of increasing, has decreased.
THE fact is that the constituency
Of the News always has been and still
remains on the East Side and West
Side Of the city. It catered to a class
of people with whom I am not in
sympathy. I tried to make a place
for it among those with whom I am
in sympathy and with whom I am
daily thrown in contact. I failed to
do so for various causes, into which
there is no need of my going. I do
not care to run a newspaper along the
lines which once made the News sue
cessful, and consequently am going
to leave"

CURES Loss OF APPETITE.
Clears the Complexion and Restores
the Health-Rea Bros Cascarin.

Cure after all others have failed is the
result of experience with this, wonderful
remedy. Diseases Of the liver, stomach,
kidneys and bowels are usually very pro-
nounced in their manifestations; in pro-
nounced symptoms the head aches, the
back grows weaker and more painful, the
patient becomes debilitated. the eye duller
and more lifeleSs, the inability to sleep at
night is more pronounced than ever, con-
stipation. catarrh of the stomach, dyspep-
sia. inability to digest food, loss of appe-
title and all of the distressing symptoms
Of diseased or inactive stomach and bow
els, liver and kidneys become more aggra-
waited and the sufferer feels more wretched
and tired of existence than ever. You
may take remedies and medicines which
will relieve, perhaps, for short time, but
you cannot get rid of the trouble unless
you effect the cure of what causes it.
Rea Bros Cascarin will do this, and
when this is done you cannot be a suf-
ferer from these troubles, because the
cause of such suffering is removed. AT
all druggists, sec a bottle.

MINES TO RESUME
ON MONDAY NEXT
Indianapolis Agreement Accepted
in Iowa-Advantage Is With
-.... the Operators.

Des Moines, Iowa, April 14.-The
miners and operators of the four Iowa
districts arrived at an agreement on
the report of the subcommittee on
scales, whereby the Indianapolis
agreement is taken as a basis thru
out except for the wages of top men
in the first and fourth districts, which
are to be governed by the 5.5 per cent
reduction, with a minimum wage of
$1.08 day.
The agreement, which is regarded as
a complete victory for the operators,
who have been contending for the In
dianapolis agreement, will have the
effect of placing in operation on Mon
day all the mines in the state, en-
ploying over $4,000 men. The original
fight was begun over the wages of less
than 800 men.

SCOUT ACCIDENT THEORY
Naval Experts Believe Japanese

Naval Experts Believe Japanese
Trapped and Sunk Petropavlovsk.
Special to The Journal. ...
London, April 14.-It is believed by
military experts that Makaroff's death
and the loss Of the first-clasS battle
ship Petropavlovsk will move Russia
to- a desperate effort on land, that the
Japanese will Immediately make an
other attempt to bottle up Port Ar
thur, and will follow it up with an at
tack by land and sea.
The experts discredit the theory
that the Petropavlovsk was destroyed
by an accidental explosion Of a sub
merged mine. English naval officers
infer from the facts obtainable that
Makaroff fell into a trap laid by the
Japanese. .. ..... Ill.,.
Admiral Ingles boldly declares that
the battleship was sunk in terrific
action in open sea-
Spencer Wilkinson, the most re1ia-
BILE comm entator on the war in Eng
land is positive that there. was a ter
rificsnaval battle in which the Russian
flagship was sunk. He believes Maka-
rolf was lured from beneath the for
tress at Port Arthur and that his ship
was destroyed while retreating before
superior force.
The latest returns show that six Of
ficers and thirty-two men escaped
when the sPetropavlovsk went down.

PARKER'S NAME AS
DEMOCRAT SLOGAN
Littleton of Brooklyn Arouses
< Enthusiasm at Iroquois
~ Banquet.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Spec1a4 SERVICE.
Chicago, April 14.-Judge Alton B.
Parker's boom for the presidency was
brought to Chicago and offered on the
altar Of the jefferson democracy at
the Irouuois club banquet last night.
It gave the members Of the club the
first opportunity they had. had in
eight years to be enthusiastic, and
wild scene ensued when Martin w.
Littleton of Brooklyn told them that
in Judge Parker the east brought the
west q conservative candidate, whose
mission was to harmonic all factions
of the party and win democratic sue
cess. 49," p
Erskine W. Phelps, Adlai E. Ste
venson, Judge Brown and scores Of
other democrats, who had almost for
gotten how to cheer q democratic
speech during the last ten years, joined
in shouts and hurrahs Of applause.
Mr.. Littleton said in part:
Within our own party we have a danger
to the sound politics Of the nation, set on
foot by a coalition between the idle rich
and the idle poor and meant to pull
apart the natural union Of the Industrious
rich and the industrious poor and fasten
our race in each others Threats In a
struggle of death.
The democracy Of New York appeals
to the democracy of the west to join with
1t in a policy which will provide for labor
pay, and the pledge Of all our power and
pride to make these rights secure; pol
Icy which will give to capital chance
for investment in all civil forms and pro-
tect it to the uttermost; a policy which
will treat the islands of the Pacific as &C
complished facts and administer them for
their safety and development and our OBJ
legations of honor.
And you say to me, what Of the man
who shall lead US in the contest?' The
answer from my state Is Judge Alton B
Parker.
He will impart to the public life Of the
nation all Of the democratic faith of JEFF
ferson; all of the fine, intellectual force OF
Tilden; all of the patriotic fervor Of Bry-
an, and all of the unfailing courage anC
conscience of Cleveland. gelsE- 49, -. ,.9.,qss

as saying, Changed conditions pro

Lincoln, Neb., April 14.-Comment-
ing on the Endorsement Of Judge
Parker by former President Cleveland,
w. J. Bryan will say in his Commoner
on Friday:
That settles it. When Mr.. Cleve-
land puts the burning brand of his
cordial approval upon an aspirant for
the democratic presidential nominal

for life. In view of the Indignation
which the Endorsement has aroused,

Makaroff in Chicago.

Chicago, April 14.-Vice Admiral
Makaroff was in Chicago five. years
ago, and at that time visited sMacki-.
nav City, where he inspected the ice
crushers st. Marie and st. Ignace.
Admiral Makaroff was born in 1849,
and made his first visit to this country
in 1863, coming with a Russian fleet
to San Francisco at the same time that
another Russian fleet appeared at
New York, apparently for the purpose
of indicating to the European powers
at that critical period that the Musco-
vite was the friend Of the Union in it's
life and death struggle.

Washington, April 14.-W. R. Hearst's

The Hearst managers are obliged to admit
that they see little prospect Of success.
If the empire state democracy instructs
for Parker the cracker state convention
will follow suit. All the neighboring south

prompt instruction for Parker would fol-
low in all the southern states If New
