The new continental national party begins life with a platform in favor of reciprocity, government issuance of money, government ownership of railways, right of labor to organize, an eight-hour day, a direct primary election law, election of presidential electors by congressional districts instead of by state, an income tax, and a ten per cent. tax on vacant ground.

Every formal treaty of arbitration will aid wonderfully in molding public sentiment against war and smoothing the way to other similar treaties. The example of the great militant countries will have persuasive influence upon the small nations which are now taxing their slender resources to maintain armies and navies to be annihilated in the first encounter with a stronger power. Land hunger, empire-building, absorption of weak countries by the combative savage, fighting instinct surviving civilization, traditional racial hate, give a tremendous impetus to war.

Southern whites have made the declaration that they will not work in the cotton fields and northerners are no more willing, nor are they Suited to the work. The suggestion which has been offered that immigrants from southern Europe might find ready and constant employment as agricultural workers in the south, where climatic conditions are those to which they are accustomed in their native countries, is being eagerly seized upon by cotton planters. Land and mill owners are looking for white workers to take the place of the blacks and are offering inducements to Italians.

Last year England imported 219,000 tons of butter. The United States exported about 4,000 tons.: These facts leave a fair inference that England offers an open market for more than 50 times as much butter as we are in the habit of exporting. England’s purchases of this article from foreign countries and from her colonies amount to about $100,000,000 a year. Our export sales of it approximate $1,500,000. England purchased last year about 136,000 tons of cheese. Our total exports were in the vicinity of 8,000 tons, worth about $2 250,000. : b e

GEN.OYAMA RECEIVES INSTRUCTION FROM TOKIO. Must Retrieve His Failure to Crush Kuropatkin in Fighting at - Liaoyang. London, Sept. 16.—The TokLim correspondent of the Express says Field Marshal Oyama has received the most rigid instructions to resume the offensive as soon as his troops are recuperated, as the roads will permit an attack wupon Gen. Kuropatkin before winter begins. Should the Russians retire to Harbin to avoid battle Field Marshal Oyama will pursue them with his threearmies. The collapse of Oyama’s lgcheme to surround Gen. Kuropatkin at Liaoyang caused this order, which,; it is stated, is inspired by the emperor. I Must Retxj;ieve Loss., | The general staff] is bitterly disappointed by the escape of Gen. Kuropatkin, and Oyama must retrieve himself for, according to the Japanese view, his stategy failed. Conlsequently a desperate attack may be |expected, which, if directed against Tieling instead of Mukden, must be accompanied by terrible slaughter. |

The entire force now is suffering from absolute exhaustion and needs sleep equally with food. It may be several weeks before Oyama isready toadvance. It is certain, however, that the Japanese do not intend to close the present campaign until they make another desperate effort to crush the Russian army.

Transports now are loading -troops ~and supplies at Kobe and Hiroshima., These are to be landed at Yinkow and sent north by railroad. It is understood at least 100,000 men and 100 guns will te added to the Japanese army before October 1. The majority of these are seasoned troops from northern Japan who are able to withstand the Manchurian winter,. . : . Japs Move on Russians. St. Petersburg, Sept. 17.—A dispatch from Mukden, announcing that, according to information from ' Chinese sources, the Japanese are leaving a garrison at Liaoyang and their main forces are moving out on the Russian flanks, is partially confirmed by the dispatch from Gen. Kuropatkin reporting that the Japanese are massing on the Russiang{ianks, that a large force is concentrating at Bentsiaputze, 20 miles southeast of Mukden, and that another force, whose strength has not been established, is moving up the Liao valley. The greater part of Field Marshal Oyama’s army, however, is still near Yentai, encamped along the heights between the mines and the railroad. While the war office does not expect an immediate advance, the preliminary dispositions of the Japanese forces are taken to indicate that the Japanese intend when they advance to strike from the eastward. They seem to be avoiding the territory west of the Liao river, possibly because it is flat and would give the Russians the advantage of their superiority in cavalry. Chinese residents fleeing to Mukden complain that the Japanese are pillaging Liaoyang. Japanese Attacks Repuised. :

St. Petersburg, Sept. 17.—A dispatch from Mukden says the Russian patrols, up to the present time, have repulsed all Japanese outpost attacks and that communications with Sinmintin have not been interrupted. Practically all the Russian stragglers, according to this dispatch, have arrived at Mukden. St. Petersburg Incredulous. St. Petersburg, Sept. 17.—The war

Consul McWade Removed. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Sept. 15.—Robert M. McWade, United States consul general at Canton, China, Wednesday was removed from office by President Roosevelt. Charges made against him recently were investigated by Assistant Secretary Peirce, who went to the orient to make an investigation of several of the United States consulates in China and Japan. Secretary Peirce in his report to the president strongly sustains the charges made against Consul General McWade. Frost Beneficial to Corn. Chicago, Sept. 15.—Frost visited the cornfields of lowa and Nebraska Tuesday night, but from th{e best reports obtainable caused no damage to the growing crop. In fact, it is said the frost, which was light, would prove a benefit by hastening the maturing of the corn, There was a feeling of relief among persons interested in the crop when they learned that their alarm at the prospect of damage was not sustained by the actual effects of the visitation. Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Wisconsin also felt light frosts. 3 v

office has heard the report of an apparent Jaipanese coneentration against the flanks of Gen. Kuropatkin’s army, pre'parato}‘y to an advance towards Mukden. ° While it is |mot in a position to absolutely confirm or deny the report, ‘it would surprise the war office should Field Marshal Oyama have been able in such:a short time to organize his forces for a serious advance northwards. i& Japs Continue Bombardment. St. Petersburg, Sept.‘l6.—A dispatch from Lieut. Gen. Stoessel, commander of the Russian military forces at Port Arthur, says the Japanese are ‘actively constructing fortifications on the Samhon mountain and at other points and that they continue to bombard the forts and harbor. On September 2 they threw 250 sg?_xells into the town. The Japanese, the dispatch adds, have issued a proclamation to the Russian troops, demanding their surrender. Food Is Nearly Gone. Only a small quantity of flour and other food is left to the Struggling defenders of the fortress. Their ammunition has long since been depleted; the Japanese, with Korean and Chinese allies, are pressing closer, and the outer defenses are occupied. One more charge and the gallant defenders will be made prisoners. Many have been killed during the week in resisting Japanese attacks. ' : Kurcopatkin Reports.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 15.—Gen. Kuropatkin’s official report, which was given out Wednesday night comes as a considerable relief as setting at rest alarmist stories of the loss of guns, the cutting off of divisions and the death or capture of prominent commanders, which have been freely circulating here. The report, which is‘a very long one, enters at considerable detail into the various phases of the battle of Liaoyang and entirely bears out the declaration at the time that Gen. Orloff’s failure to hold the vital position at the Yentai mines was responsible for the breaking down of the whole of Gen. Kuropatkin’s plan of battle, and turned a potential victory into defeat. The manner in which the retreat was carried out in the face of the terrible condition of the country and the determined pressure of the Japanese armies does much to restore Gen. Kuropatkin’s prestige in military circles. Prepare to Make Stand.

Tokio, Sept. 15.—Field Marshal Oyama confirms the reports that a considerable force of Russians remains south of the Hun river and says the Russians are fortifying/the heights on hoth sides of the Liao river at Tie Pass. Alexieff to Be Relieved. :

Paris, Sept. 15.—The correspondent at St. Petersburg of the Echo de Paris says: “I learn authoritatively that Viceroy Alexieff asked to be relieved of the functidns of commander-in-chief, by land and sea, of the Russian forces in the far east, but not of those of viceroy, his object being to avoid giving a semblance of consistency to the reports of antagonism between himself and Gen. Kuropatkin. He asked that he beallowedto continue to be responsible for the political and diplomatic administration in the far east and to remain at Harbin. The emperor granted this request and, therefore, Gen. Kuropatkin henceforth will be solely responsible for military operations there.” B British Vessel Sunk,

Nagasaki, Sept. 16.—A British sailing vessel, supposed to be the British bark Lucia, struck a mine recently off Port Arthur. One person of those on board of her was rescued. It is considered probable that the vessel was running the blockade.

Murder or Suicide. Chicago, Sept. 13.—Married less than a week, and with plans.completed for a wedding trip to St. Louis, John M. Biegler, an attorney, was found dead in his office, 1008 Title and Trust building, at eight o’clock Monday night, with a bullet in his brain. A new revolver lay eclose to the body, and, while the brothers, widow and law partner of the dead man declare he had no reason to commit suicide, the police maintain that self-destruction is the only plausible theory for his death. Official Commits Suicide, : Washington, Sept. 12.—The dead body of David P. Leibhardt, the superintendent of the dead letter office of the post office department, was found Sunday night by one of the watchmen who was making his rounds just after midnight. Evidently it was a case of suicide. There was a bullet hole in the right temple, while a pistol with one or more barrels discharged lay on the floor beside him. No reason is known for the deed, Mr. Leibhardt apparently was about 60 years of age. He was,a native of Indiana from which state he wasappointed to the post office department. !

VICTIMS OF STORM. Atlantic Coast Swept and Several Vessels Wrecked—A Number of Lives Lost. New York, Sept. 16.—A number of lives were lost, much property damaged and several ships were wrecked in the storm which swept up the Atlantic coast Wednesday night and Thursday. It was one of the fiercest September storms on record, thunder and lightning adding terrors to a howling gale, which swept drenching sheets of rain over sea and land. - The greatest loss of life was near Wilmington, Del. The tug Israel W. Durham, with a crew of six men and four other men, émployes of the American Dredging company, was swamped in the Delaware river early on Thursday during the height of the storm. Eight of the ten persons on the little craft were drowned. From farther down the coast—Jacksonville—comes the report that five men were drowned off Charleston. This report was brought in by one of the coast liners.

New York suffered comparatively little. |The wind and rainfand thunder and lightning were terrifi¢c but little actual damage was done. Nineteen coal barges went adrift in the bay and tonight their wreckage strews the shore from the Battery to the narrows, but no lives were lost. Several small vessels also went ashore on various parts of the coast near New York. One fatalitg( was reported in this city, when a piece of cast-ironfireescapewasblown from a building and struck Cari Hertzner, killing him instantly. In Chesag:eake bay the storm was particularly fierce. Incoming steamers arriving at Baltimore report that never in their experience has such’ a. furious gale swept down on them at this time |of the year. One man was seen adrift in a small rowboat in Chesapeake bay, but it was impossible to rescue him. FLAMES ATTACK BRIDGE. Structure Over Lake St. Croix Partly Burned—Span Falls, Killing Two . ‘and Injuring Five. - Stillwater, Minn., Sept. 16.—Th= bridge across Lake St. Croix, which is a half mile long, extending to the Wisconsin side, caught fire late Thursday afternoon. The fire created some commotion and the fire apparatus, in responding to the alarm, was followed by the usual crowd of persons. The fire had so weakened one of the spans of the rather ancient. structure that when the fire apparatus and the crowd attempted to cross it, it fell into the | water, about 20 feet below. About 20 - persons were precipitated with the wreckage into the water and two were killed and five seriously injured.
