Gunshu Pass, April is. - The ex-
pected Japanese turning movement Is
not developing but preparations, 1t is
understood, are progressing and rein
forcements, food and ammunition are
being brought up from New Chwang.
The Japanese outposts extend thirty
miles on either side Of the railroad.
International Law Violated.
Washington, d. c., April Is. = Japan
has discovered another violation of In
ternational law by Russia. The hos
pital ship Oriel which put into Saigon
according to dispatch from Rear Adj
miral Train, commander in chief OF
the American naval force in the far
east, is thought to have gone into the
French port for double purpose-to
put ashore sick men from the squadron
and to obtain information for the use
&C Vice Admiral Rojestvensky.
With the first action the Japanese.
could not raise any objection. Human
ity required it.
Togo May Seize oreI.
But it is said that the second action
is in gross violation of international
treaties respecting hospital ships. Ves-
sells of this class are immune from at
tack or seizure because of their non
belligerent character; but they forfeit
this immunity If found assisting in any
way belligerent operations.
If the Japanese consul at Saigon
should be convinced, therefore, that
the Orel is conveying information to
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky undoubt-
edly he will at once inform his gov
eminent, which in turn will advise
Admiral Togo, and the latter probably
may endeavor to prevent the Orel
from rejoining the Russian fleet.
Rumor Of Battle DlscredIted.
When Rear Admiral Trains cable
gram was first received yesterday, diff
| fculty was found in deciphering it, and
| it was believed that the Orel had
brought wounded" men to Saigon,
Secretary Morton, said, however, that
this word was wrong; that the Orel
had sick men on board, and he did not
believe battle haG yet occurred. With
all the world watching the China sea,
the secretary said it could not be long
before the fact that battle had oc-
CURED would be generally known.

Thomas Jefferson said in his inaugural message:
'Stl one thing more, fellow citizens, a wise and
frugal government which shall restrain men from
iniurng one another, shall leave them otherwise
free to regulate their own pursuit Of industry and
Improvement and shall not take from the mouth Of
labor what it has earned"

mad, insane rush for the "dOllar" guiding the ma

quest, and hear the winds OF ''entangled alliance
howl a.requiem to expiring patriotism.

The money power has possession OF the temple of

the camp Of nations around about us. hear the
sound OF the hammer in the ship yards, and / say
we cannot ran this government another % years as
we have the past 25 years.

their patriotism and see to it that none but honest
meRlare nominated and elected, will save this coun

The spirit Of Jefferson still hovers over the land

is the command Of patriotism that special privileges
