(Former Military Aide to President
Roosevelt)

Roosevelt)
Petlograd, Nov. 24-The German
crown prince is again thwarted. The
army under his command, which dur
ing the last five days has threatened
Warsaw, has been severely repulsed.
Thus his hope of being hailed as be-
sieger of the Polish capital dies, as
did his chance of being the besieger
of Paris.
Yet his new army, consisting pos
sibly Of the guard reserves, the Twen-
tieth, the Seventeenth and two other
corps, arrived alarmingly close to
Warsaw before it was finally checked.
The master military minds which
surround the crown prince planned and
carried out a remarkably daring COUP
Operating on exterior lines and served
by one of the best strategic railroad
systems, it was possible for them to
attempt an attack upon any point they
chose.
Obviously they chose the weakest
Joint along the Russian front. A.
Ploz'l five German corps were op-
posed by two Russian corps, which
after putting up a desperate defense
were compelled to retire. This left the
road to the capital open.
With remarkable celerity the Ger
man army pushed ahead, stalking all
on arriving at Warsaw before rein
forcenents could be hurried to the
scene. Their communications were left
to take care of themselves.
The Russians destroyed everything
of use to the enemy. A stand was
made on the Bzura river, but the
Germans were always in superior
numbers and in positions not favor
able to the Russians.
A number of Russian corps were
moving slowly toward the threatened
area. The difficulties of marching
and transportation through Poland are
the limit.
1t was terrier and mastiff over
again. The mastiff was occupied with
another bone at Cracow, when the
more agile dog attacked him. Now
that he has turned, the terrier runs.
Without their extraordinary skill
in retirement, the present position of
the Germans would be considered ex-
tremely perilous. They have come in
en- the long tongue of land between
the Eistula and Warthe rivers, de-
bending entirely upon these walls OF
water to defend their flanks. No com
manding general would take such
chances unless he knew it was impos
sible for his opponents to smash
through on his flank.
But this is not impossible. General
Rennenkampf is operating in the
north. Let this hint suffice.
In order to give this new invasion
OF Poland every chance of success, the
German armies in the other theatres
Rave been exceedingly active. On tn;
Czenstochowa Cracow front thu
German Austrian forces have been un
1emitting in their efforts to fore,
nack the flood which threatens to en-
sulf Them. The general attack which
is going on is at yet undecided.
In East Prussia vigorous offensiv
has also been under way. Near Stall
uponen the whole weight of the Ger
man northern army has been throw
against the Russian left with the hop
of turning it. For the briefest time =,
looked as if the maneuver might b
crowned with success, but certain re

COL. MILLER's WITHDRAWAL

The retirement OF Col Jere A. Nil
Ter from the Senatorial contest In
this district is entirely consistent with
the position he has maintained in the
matter. Long before the meeting of
the conferees he publicly declared
that under no circumstances would he
be a candidate. In spite OF this dec
laration the conferees forced the nom
nation upon him. In Withdrawing his
name from the ticket. therefore. Col
Miller violates no party obligation.
Col. Miller is a man of caution and
clear judgment. and these qualities,
no doubt. stood him in good stead in
sizing up the party's prospects before
committing himself II was their
hopeless character that. perhaps.
moved him to declare himself so posi-
lively when his name was first men
toned in connection with the nomina-
ton. Col. Miller retires from the race
without prejudicing his well known
reputation for conservative action in
all things, and which won for him a
high place in the business interests
Of the city. and which has made him
"a safe guide in the Official bodies he
has been connected with. The best
wishes Of The Intelligencer go with
him in his future activities.
The withdrawal of Col. Miller
places the Democratic party in the
First Senatorial district in a decided
~ embarrassing position, but 1t open.

PAUL to try his luck. Although re-
jccted by the eonferees in the first in

chastened mood to give him that

EVEN FUSION HOPELESS.

In Pennsylvania the Progressives
are disguised under the name of the
Washington party. a wholly irrelevant
designation. The Progressive seed In
pennsylvania. as in all other strong
Republican States. is shown TO have
fallen on stony ground. and in other
places where the tares that have
sprung up within the party have
ohoked IL. Since the primaries there
has been considerable talk of fusion
between the Washington and Demo
cratic party nominees. through the
disheartening showing made by both
and the commanding dominance
shown by the Republican vote.
In the proposed fusion scheme.
which shows the shallow pretensions
of the Washington party's principles.
William Draper Lewis. that party's
nominee for governor. is slated for
sacrifice to the ambitions Of the Dem.
ocratic nominee. Mccormick. but so
FAR be has shown no acquiescence in
the scheme. But why should either
concern themselves whether there is
fusion or fustian? Nothing will pre-.
vail against the united Republican
forces in Pennsylvania this year. The
situation is clearly outlined in the
first days registration. when the Re.
pubhcans in Philadelphia and Pitts.
burgh showed an enrolment of 90. 40
against a combined enrolment Of only
1888 Democrats and washingtoni-
ans. This is not only discouraging TO
fusion. but depressing enough to the
candidates Of the latter parties TO
make them Indifferent whether or not
there is even to be an election in No

IOklO. Aug. iS-Japans decision
10 send an ultimatum to Germany and
thus extend the theatre of war from
Europe 10 Asia was only reached after
some division among the statesmen Of
the empire. IL was the Genro or elder
statesmen who at first opposed the
participation. Extensive negotiations
were necessary also between Great
Britain and Japan before an accord
was reported as 10 the action OF ia
pan.
As soon as war was declared be-
tween England and Germany. Japan
modified her fleet in readiness for
action and very soon after that several
army corps were ordered in readiness
for quick mobilization The third
Japanese squadron located at Shang-
hal was reinforced by several warships
from the home feet and patrol was
established In tie historic straits OF
Tsushima.
A flying squadron of seven cruisers
was organized ri 1okosuka with
Prince Fushimi in command. while
the battleship squadron al Sasebo was
increased to eight big gun ships in
Guiding the drcadnought Kongo and
the new dreadnought Hiyei
Meantime Japan began TO feel heavi-
ly the results OF the war shipping
steamers Of different nationalities
were unable TO leave port. Foreign
commercial exchange practically
ceased between Japan and China and
Japan and Europe. bringing business
to a standstill while business with
America was greatly affected.
Negotiations Were On.
All this time active negotiations
were going on between Japan and
England. Suddenly on August IL. wnes
everybody in Japan had been prepared
for communication from the govern
ment regarding her participation in
the hostilities halt came in the gen
eral activities.
This was explained as due. first. to
a hitch in the negotiations between
Japan and England concerning the
scope OF Japans action. and being
, also due TO Great Britains desire TO
calm fears that might exist in China
and in America that Japan had any
designs upon the integrity of China.
Great Britain was DESTROYS that the
world should not imagine that with
the entrance of Japan into the con-
flict a violent and limitless war was
TO he carried on In the Pacific ocean.
Some discussion. II Is said. also was
held upcn the question of Japan's
status in the peace congress of Eu-
rope to be held after the conclusion
OF the war.
Another Factor.
Another important factor in the sit
! uation was that the Japanese them
selves were not in harmony as to
Iaran's attitude. but after a series of
deliberations they reached unanimity.

dollars worth of stock was .aucfioned
off today on the steps Of the New York
county court house. The old stock
of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific

n. Wallace, chairman Of the prOtec-
tive company, for the per cent col
lateral trust bonds of the Chicago.
Rock Island & Pacific Railroad COM,
pany against which the stock was col
lateral The foreclosure action was
brought by the Central Trust company
of New York against the railroad
company for interest due on bonds
valued at 1,353,O00. The price real
lied for the stock was $40 a share.
The par value is 500. The sale was
