thrown into a fever <?f excitement Sunday
afternoon by the arrival of Japanese
torpedo boat. She passed the !

United States torpedo destroyer

the Japanese destroyer. The
Japanese boat was cleared for action.
She anchored off the Cosmopolitan
dock, where the Russian cruised Askold
is undergoing repairs.
The taotni has notified \nterican i
Consul Good now, who is the dean of
the consular body, that China cannot
protect the foreign settlements. Mo i
contends that Russia ignores the orders
issued by China, and that China
has not the means of making her obey j
them.
Consul Goodnow called a meeting of
the consular body to take joint action j
for the protection of foreign inhabitants.

SURrKIsS: CREATED IN LONDON.
Ixindon, By Cable.?The intervention
of the American squadron at |
Shanghai in tho Japanese operations |
against tho Russian cruiser Askolri.
created eonsitlerahle surprise in official
circles here. An official of the legation
said: "If the report is not untrue,
the American commander must have
had good reason for his action, such as
the protection of American interests,
which would have boon endangered by
f.ying shells.
"Japan has been very reluctant to
send ships into the harbor, for she recognized
the international character of
Shanghai, and the laws of neturality
demanded that China should order the
Askold and the Grozovi to dismantle
or leave the port, she having given
the order and the Russian ships hav- !
ing refused, it was then incumbent for
Japan to act, thereby protecting the
Chinese neutrality and at the same
time exerting her rights as o belligerent.
It would never have done to permit
Russian ships to remain in a Chinese
port deliberately and avowedly
violating the neutrality of the country.
Whatever reason actuated tno American
commander. If he really did as reported.
it is certain that no complications
will follow."

Mr. Davis' Speech Read in Conversational
Style. Heartily Received?
Evident Vigor of the Octogenarian
Nominee.
Iton. Henry G. Davia was formally I
notified of his nomination as eandi- !
date for Vico-Prcsident on the Demo- j
cratie ticket Wednesday at White
Sulphur Springs. West Virginia. The >
notification speech was made by Hon. j

and in a pleasant speech of con
I sidcrable length Mr. Davis accept.*1 1
| the trust committed to him.
Among other things Mr. Davis said- ,
i "Mr. Chairmand and Gentlemen of
the Committee:
"The ollicial noli that ion which you
bring of my nomination lor the VU e
Presidency of the United States, by
tho national Democracy, gives me a
feeling of the sincerest gratitude to ;
my party for the honor conferred. At
the same time brings to me a deep ;
sense of my responsibility, to my par- J
ty as a candidate, and to my country
in case of my election.
"A spirit of determination to succeed
in tho campaign beforo tts appears
to pervado tho rank and file ]
[ of our party in all sections of tho
! country. Of that rank and file t
| bavo for many years been a member j
I and have at all times devoted my 1
I humble powers to party success, boj
lieving that success to be for the
country's gw*d. Unexpectedly railed |
I as 1 am wow to 1terefront., I am impelled
to an acceptance of tho ob'iJ
gation by a sense of gratitude to my
I follow workers, and the hope that i
1 may be able the better to assist in restoring
to power that party whose
principles and past history guarantee
a safe, wise, economical and const'
tutional administration of the government.

ination on the national ticket has
been taken from section of our com- j
mon country that lies south of Mason
.and Dixon's line?a happy recogni- j
tion of the obliteration of all sectinoal
differences which led to and followed !
that unhappy struggle.
"As introductory to the few remarks j
I shall make, I desire to say that I j
heartily endorse the platform upon i
which I have been nominated and
with the convention and its nominee
for President, regard iho present monetary
standard of value as irrevocably

"In the campaign preceding the
last election, much stress was laid by
Republican speakers upon tho prosperous
condition or the country, and
forebodings were heard of the ill re
suits, especially to the laboring man,
which would follow any change in
the political complexion of the government.
It is true that tho times
wero then good, but it is no less a
fact that, while there has been no
change in the party in power, many
of tho evils prophesied have come
under Republican rule. Four years
ago factories, niiils, mines and furnaces
were i 11 a: tivo operation, unable
to supply the demand, hut now many
are closed, and those that aro open
are being operate,] with reduced force
on short hours. Then wages were
high, labor was scarce and there was
work for all. Now work is scarce,
many wage earners unemployed, and
wages reduced. The apprehension
which now prevails in business circles
and the present unsatisfactory industrial
conditions of the country seem
to demand a political change.
"In the language of our platform,
the rights of labor are certainly no
less vesicd.no )"sssaered,and no less innlienabie
than the rights of capital.'
The time is opportune to emphasize the
truth of this utt'',-anc". The most sacred
right of pronfcrty is the right to
possess and own one's self and the labor
of one's own hands?capital itself
being but stored up labor. For years
1 worked in the ranks as a was* -< rner
.n 1 1 know what it is to earn my living
in the sweat of my brow, i havo
always believed, and my convictions
tame from the hard school of experience,
that, measured by the character
of work 1 e (iocs an 1 tho cost of living,
' a man is entitled to full compensation
for his services. My experience as a
wage-earner and my association with
labor havo alike taught me the value of
i )e:no<rctic principles; for in them the
humblest has the strongest security for
: < iividual right and the highest stiruu!u".
to that independence of spirit and
i >ve of self help which produce the finest
private characters and form the
! ase of the best possible government.
"The receipts of the government for
th year ending June 30. 1002. the first
U year of the present administrat;
?n. showed a surplus over expendiMr.
es of $91,000,000, hut for the fiscal
y. ir muling June 30. 1004. instead of a
surplus there was a deficit of $41,000.- I

August 10. or for about a month and a I
third of the present fiscal year, the J
\p<-miltures of the government havo l
ci .'.led the receipts by $21,715,000. !

rule, an i yet the census reports shows
that from 1 ^r.O to 1860. under Democratic
rule and the Walker tariif, tbo
percentae of increase was greater in
population, wealth, manufactures and
railroad mileage, the factors which affect
most lar gely the prosperity of the
country, than in any decade since.
" i lie cost of government has largely
increased under Republican rule. The
expenditures per capita for the last

the Secretary of the Treasury, were as

of Indiana.
New York, Spe< i:il. Thomas K. Watsun,
of Georgia, the People's party candidate
foe President, and Thomas H.
Tibbies, of Nebraska, the candidate for
Vice-President, were formally notified
of their nomination hero Thursday at
Cooper Union.
The big hall was crowded when, at
nVln.'L- t>lo Ivi-n
panted by Alfred Iloitlton. of Brooklyn.
chairman of the meeting. appeared
on the platform. There was much
cheering.
Chairman Boulton at. once introduce,!
Judge Samuel W. Williams, of
Indiana, who made the speech olliicully
notifying the candidates of their selection.
In addressing Mr. Watson, Mr. Williams
said the convention that nominated
him was made up of unselfish, selfsacrilhing
patriots, who attended and
participated in its deliberations solely
through a high sense of duty.
"It was understood," he continued,
"that our nominee must iu> a man with
whom politics was a matter of conscience.
and who believed truly and
fully in the tenets of Populism, who
subscribed to the doctrine of the brotherhood
of man and the fatherhood of
Almighty Clod: who stood ready, aide
and willing to defend, against any and
all comers, each and every plank in our
platform and who if elected Resident
of the United States, would Yave thw
broadness of mind, the goodness of
heart, the firmness of character, the
knowledge of men and affairs to so administer
the duties of that high oiliec
as to bring the best possible degree of
peace, harmony and happiness to the
whole people."
When Mr. Watson arose to speak, the
cheering continued in urly four minutes.
Chairman lloulton introduced him in
half a dozen words, simply referring to
him as the ean.lidat<" of the People's
part y.
After a formal notice that he would
soon prepare a formal letter of acceptance.
Mr. Wat on gave up n great portion
of his address to a discussion of
im- iiiunui-raiic an i u'-pmuiran piaiforma
anil the candidae> of Judge Parker.
He referred to the Democratic
candidate'!; gold tele^raham as follows:
"Surrounded by the Wall street magnates.
who had financed his campaign
for two years. Judge Parker hided his
time till the perils of the two-thirds
rule were passed; and when it was too
late for the convention to retrace its
steps?for even the Democratic bosses
require more than fifteen minutes to
turn completely round in ho cracks
the Wall street whip over the heads of
his leaders, and with prompt obedience
the great Democratic legions were
made to furl their flag and reverse their
lines of march."
At another point the speaker said he
would not venture to say a word
against Judge Parker's character, "for
I believe him to lie an eminently
worthy man."
Of President Roosevelt. Mr. Watson
said;
"I have no words of abuse for Theodore
Roosevelt. I believe him to he a
bravo. honest, conscientious man. I give
him full credit for having a splendid
courage of conviction, hut inasmuch as
he stands for those government principles
which, in my judgment, are hurrying
this republic into a sordid despotism
of wealth. I will combat him and
his principles as long as there is breath
in my body."
Answering a self-asked question as
to why he consumed more time discussing
the Democrats than In speaking
of tho Republicans, the Populist leader
made reply thus: "It's an easier and
quicker job to strike an open enemy
right between the eyes than it is to
tear off the mask from the face of a
pretended friend and show him to he
the hypocrite that he is."
The speaker opened with the statemnnl
tVtnf fhoro woe novnr n I itnn vi'ht?n
the plain people of America were so
dissatisfied with the conditions which
prevail in this republic.
"Deep down in their hearts." he said,
"the masses of the people feel that the
p ins of power are slipping out of their
hands. In spite of all that can he done
hy a partisan press, the fact cannot be
concealed from the eyes of the average
citizen that the vast preponderance of
all the wealth produced in this land is
transferred bv legalized robbery into
the hands of a few; that the courts are
run in the interest of the few; that tho
law-making power is manipulated by
the few; and that while hoth the old
political parties pretend to devote
themselves to the Interests of their
common people they are both financed
hv Wall street, both dominated by Wall
street; both the willing and tbe servile
tools of Wall street.
"Do you need proof that the masses
are ready to rush to the support of any
leader who is brave enough to challenge
the right of the corporations to
rub* this land? See how they rallied
to W\ R. llenrst. Because he had taken
sides with the masses, because he was
denouncing oppression and pleading for
the rights of the common man thero
was from ocean to ocean an upheaval
In his favor which astounded the professional
politicians and strained all of
the resources of political strategy to
defeat that, noble-hearted champion of
tbe jef.'< rsonian la mocracy."
