NEW YORK, April 13.-Judge Alton
B. Parker, in reply to the toast, 'The
Future of the Democratic Party" be-
fore the Democratic club of New York
at it's Jefferson day dinner this even
| ing, spoke in part as follows:
Il do not come here to make excuse
or explanation about the past, to pro-
mote any personal purpose or ambition
for the future, or to further the ends
of any section, faction or interest.
am moved solely by a desire to COM
mune freely with my countrymen who
believe that the time-honored doctrines
of the Democratic party, as deduced
from the great policies defined by the
man whose birth we here commemor-
ate and established by the founders,
are still true, still alive still worthy of
acceptance and devotion, and still
necessary, If our institutions are to be
maintained in their early vigor and
purity.
Not New or Hysterical
"It may be conceded that they are
not new-fangled or hysterical. We can
also justify the claim that they are
not destructive of any legitimate po-
litical or Industrial interest, or subver-
sive of those conceptions of liberty and
free institutions for which our fathers
suffered. They have approved them
selves in peace and war. Under their
sway our people increased in number
wealth and power, the poor and OPP
pressed from other lands found refuge
and welcome, population spread grad
ually over territories peacefully ac-
quired, and industry was free while
taxes were low and so distributed as
to discourage monopoly. When these
principles dominated our policies there
was no thought of conquest, or of
protectorates over distant. alien and
turbulent peoples there was no talk
of alliance with the great; no question
of making ourselves collectors of debts,
good or bad. just or fraudulent; and
no suspicion that anywhere in the
lexicon of free government there was
to be found the word subject

By Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, April 13.-The
news of the northward movement of
Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron, and
his evident intention to accept battle
whenever Admiral Togo chooses to
offer 1t, has for the present stilled all
activity in the direction of peace, and
the foreign dispatches relating to the
voyage of the squadron are followed
with the most intense interest.
The admiralty volunteers no infor-
nation regarding Rojestvensky's plans,
whether his immediate destination Is
or is not Cape Padaran, on the east
coast of Cochin-China, but in naval
circles the impression prevails that the
squadron will continue northward to
the straights of Formosa, where, If
Admiral Togo does not elect to give
battle or is defeated, Admiral Rojest-
vensky may seize temporary base in
Japanese territory. If 1t is considered
advisable, he could there await the ar
rival of Admiral Nebogatoff's division.
1t is remarked that there is a force Of
riflemen on board ire Russian trans
ports, and that those could be landed
for the purpose of cooperating with
United States established a base at
Guantanamo, Cuba, in 1898. Other
naval men think that Vladivostok Is
the only base the Russian admiral has
in view

The VIadivostok Fleet

There is an embargo on news from
Vladivostok concerning the Russian
cruisers Rossi, Gromboi and Bogatyr,
and it is supposed that they have put
to sea to effect a diversion and prevent
mine laying.
Much irritation is manifested in naval
circles at the activity of British ships
in Chinese waters as they are reported
to be steaming from Hong Kong to
Singapore and their action is at
tributed to a desire to keep in touch
with the Russian squadron and report
it's movements to the world at large
and to Great Britain's ally in particu-
lar. The case is cited of the British
armored cruiser Sutlej, which arrived
at Singapore, Straits Settlements, yes
terday and reported having passed the
Russian second Pacific squadron,
steaming north.
Minister of Railroads Hilkoff has left
st. Petersburg for Siberia to superin-
tend the improvements being made on
