Sim $480 Pensions for Their
Services to Sovernmeni.
For twelve years, two japanese be?
longing to a very humble class of
workers, hsve been drawing a pension
from the Russian exchequer, says
< London Answers. The payment bas
been suspended on account of tho ac?
tual state of war between Russia and
-Japan, burt will certainly be resumed
when peace* is proclaimed, when also
the accumalated arrears will be han?
ded over. Twelve years ago these
men, Kita??aicbi and Mnkobata, were
iinriksba raen, making their living by
running between the shafts of those
light-wheeled chairs which are the
hansoms ol: Japanese cities. In May,
?892, the present Czar, then heir to
the Russian crown, was making a
tour Of Japan, and the two men were
selected to pull his imperial highness
through the streets the day he visited
the town s.nd temples of Otsu, near
Kioto. Mnkobata and Kitagichi re?
lieved each other in running between
the shafts of his carriage.
Elaborate- precautions bad been
taken to protect the imperial guest of
Japan, during his tour, but at Otsu he
had a narrow escape of bis life
Among the police on duty was one
Eanzo Tsuda, a fanatic bater of the
foreigner, perhaps a little insane on
this porn*.' It was a danger against
wbien no ordinary precautions- could
avail. Tanda suddenly drew his short
sword and rushed at the prince. He
had wounded him slightly and would
Ttave killed him but for the two
jinriksha men, one' of whom grappled
with ibo assassin, while the other, by
a swift movement, .turned the little
carriage aside.
In grateful recognition of their ser
Tices the Russian government awarded
a yearly-pension of 1,000 yen (about
?100) to the two men. It was paid
regularly to them through the Japa?
nese local authorities. Japan is a
country where wages and prices are
ooth much lower than in Europe.
iFor a Japanese workman a yen goes as
far as or farther than ? 'half-sovereign
goes with the man of the same class
is England. So Kitaga and Mnko?
bata found themselves suddenly com?
paratively rich and promptly retired.
They are still living, but the con?
trast between the present position of
the two old comrades is one more
proof that-money counts for less than
character as an element of a successful
life. Kitaga bea managed to live
comfortably in retirement on about
206*^60 per annum, banking the re?
mainder with the pension office, so
that he is now worth 30, OOO yan, a
small fortune. Be tells his neighbors
that be does not complain of his pen?
sion teing-stepped, for " war is war,"
and he has enough to live on in in
vestStents He has oven sent 500 yen
as his contribution to the war lund.
His comrade Mnkobata has always
bees a poor man. He has spent his
money as ^middy as he received it.

PARKER SHOULD Wi? "OH FORM.'
Elements That Make His Chances
of Election Good.
BrOan Faction and Conservatives Musi
Each Exert All Their Strength in
Hi s Behalf for Their Own Assur?
ance of Party Standing.
An interesting analysis of the politi?
cal situation producing an estimate
most f avorable to Democratic succesi
' and presenting some ideas not gener?
ally considered is given by a Washing?
ton correspondent of The Baltimore
Sun as follows : The Republicans are
eagerly endeavoring, as they alwayE
do, to convince the public in advance
of the election that the opposing party
is beaten beyond hope of recovery.
The Republican claims have a distinct?
ly depressing effect upon a good many
Democrats, who, having been defeat?
ed so often, bend their backs to the
storm as soon as they hear the wind
blow, though it be only the hissing of
hot air.
The fact is, neither party has yet
been able to gelt a canvass which in?
sures success, -and' the Republicans,
having the advantage of position,
make this advantage their basis of
claims. They are forcing the band
wagon tneory to the limit, believing
that the voters who are still silent are
simply waiting to get into line with
the winner.
As a pracical proposition, the
chances ought to be in favor of Judge
Parker's election. It is fair to assume
I that the so-called anti-Bryan element
of the Democratic party, which was
strong enough to secure the nomina?
tion of .Judge Parker, intends to cast
some votes for bis election. Those of
the?! who did not vote for Bryan will
not have to cast many votes for Parker
to render his election certain. Unless
this element was acting in Dad faith
in the effort to capture ttW'Southern
delegations to the national conven?
tion, the Democratic party should
have perfect 'confidence in the result
of the election.
To -charge scch bad faith would be
to do violence to the popular judg?
ment of a very high class of American
citizens, who have shown their cour?
age and devotion on many occasions.
The attitude of Grover Cleveland and
numberless others of high standing
who did not vote for^Bryan should
shame the Republicans from any hope
based upon the temper of treachery.
Perhaps some of the *.* captains of in
dust^y"r, who encouraged the effort to
nominate Judge Parker did so without
any purpose' to support him, but
merely to make sure that the business
interests of the country shonld not
'suffer whichever 'way the election
might go. It fnay be that the Demo?
crats had reason to believe they
would receive substantial support from
quarters where they are encountering
only opposition, but this influence
should not be so powerful as to make
its loss fatal to Judge Parker's pros?
pects.
Of course, the Republicans magnify
the support of this sort, which they
had expected to lose, and interpret it
as signifying that the business in?
terests of the country are not as great?
ly alarmed at the capriciousness of the
administration as circumstances war?
rant and as vie Republican managers,
knowing1 th{ facts, expected them to
be. The Republican managers are so
/ieligbted at their sucess in capturing
certain corporation captains whom
they thought Roosevelt had mortally
offended that they at once jump to the
conclusion that all the business inter?
ests of the country are with them.
Whereas at the opening cf the cam?
paign Mr. Roosevelt counted for suc?
cess upon disaffection among the
Bryan Democrats, it is felt now that
the party can rely upon its old stand?
bys, the trusts and tarriff-made monop?
olies. Apparently the chief reason of
discouragement among Democrats is
that these monopolies are coming
more vigorously to the support of the
administration titan rt was at first
thought they would.
It is generally conceded now that
Judge Parker will get practically all
of the Bryan votes in the doubtful
States, where Bryan and his friends
are working hard for the ticket. The
question would seem to turn, there
toree, u pou the size of the vote cast for
Parker by those who declined to vote
I for Bryan. McKinley's p?pala* plnral
! ity over Bryan in 1900 was not quite
I S52,000 in the whole country, in the
i States of New Jersey, New York,
j Connecticut, Indiana and Delaware,
i where the opposition to Bryan was
particularly strong. McKinlev get?
ting the independent and gold Demo?
cratic vote, McKinley's popular plur?
ality was about 289,000. These figures
seem to indicate that Judge Parker
does not require a very large vote of
his own, independent of the Bryan
vote, to insure his election.
Except in the South, where the pri?
maries were influenced by the Eastern
sentiment favorable to Judge Parker,
tl?1 Bryan influence was generally op?
posed to Parker's nomination, ilia
^nomination, therefor*-, indicated a
gre8t strength outside the Bryan in-'
fluenee. Since his nomination it has
been manifest that be bas powerful
support from gold Democrats and in?
dependents, and early every man who
ever talks politics meets daily with
Republicans who declare an intention
to vote the Democratic ticket this
year for the first time in their lives.
In the absence of a reliable canvass,
in any of the donbtful States, indica?
ting a contrary trend, this plain con?
dition should be sufficient to ingpire
the Democrats with confidence. It
being conceded as it now generally
is, that Parker will get practically
the full Bryan vote, he should be
elected if the element which support?
ed him for the nomination supports
him as earnestly lor election. Neith?
er the element vf the party which op?
posed his nomination nor that which
accomplished it can affc -d to have
bim defeated through their faalr, and
if either is suspicious of the other the
incentive to "make good" must be '
strong in order to fix the responsibility
for defeat should it come.
If it should appear that Bryan's
friends have "knifed'" the ticket ir
will be the end politically of.that ele- j
ment of the party. If thc men who, j
against Bryan's protest, secured the j
nomination of Judge Parker fail to j
"make good" with their votes their
newly acquired influence over the
party will be lost; and, more than
that, if through their failure Roose?
velt should be elected and the busi?
ness interests of the country should
suffer, the most radical elements of
all parties would probanly be united
in opposition to all conservatism, and
the promise of politics for the imme?
diate future would be a battle royal
between trust monopoly on the one
hand and disorganizing socialism on
the other.
. It is of the utmost importance to
the welfare of the country that the
influences which procured Judge Par?
ker's nomination should exert them?
selves to the limit of their capacity to
insure his election. Self-preservation
demands sincerity of support from
both elements of the party, and if
both are loyal defeat should be im?
possible.
TRACK RECORDS SMASHED.
Dan Patch Paced Mile in Fast
Time of 156 Flat.
Memphis, Oct. 26.-With a pace?
maker, carving a wind shield in front
and accompanied by a runctr at the
side, Dan Patch, driveu by Hersey,
paced the fastest mile at the trotting
park today ever made by a horse in
harness, circling th? track in one
minute and fify-six seconds flat. The
former record, 1.56*3-?, was made by
Dan Patch in 1902. The son of Joe
Patcben warmed tip in splendid shape
and after scoring once Hersey nodded
for the word. With clock-like precis?
ion the brown horse stepped around
the fir3t tarn and to the quater in 29
seconds. . Turning down the back
stretch Scott Hudson, who drove the
pacemaker, had to urge his horse
j forward as Dan Patch was crowding
him. The pacing marvel fairly flew
to the half in .01% seconds and when
: the time was announced a great cheer
came from those present. On the far
turn Dan Paich seemed to falter, but
only for an instant and on passing the
three-quarter pole the timers' board
showed Lfi$?. When fairly straight?
ened . out for the flight to the wire
the brown pacer seeemed to gather re?
newed conrage and coming on at a
terrific clip, passed the judges' stand
in 1.56 fiat. |
Cheer after cheer greeted the per?
formance and Hersey was carried from
his sulky on his return to the stand.
The wind shield used was the same as
that employed when Lon Dillon trot?
ted a mile in 1.58 21-. It consisted
of a strip of canvas about four feet
square attached to the sulkay of the
running pacemaker.
Another sensational performance
was that of Major Delmar, E. E.
Sinathers' trotting champion, when
he trotted a mile to a high wheel sul?
ky in 2.07 flat. It was announced by
the judges before the trial that the
sulky was non-ball-bearing and weigh?
ed 54 1-2 pounds. It was also explain?
ed the vehicle was the same pattern
as that used by Maud S. in hlr memo?
rable flight against time in 1884, when
she trotted a mile in 2.08 3-4.

REPORT RE?EBVED,
AH EXPLAN?TfOH THAT WILL

London, Oct. 27.-Admirai Rojest
venskys report about firing on Game
Cock fleet in North Sea has been re
cieved by Count Beenckendorff, Rus?

torpedo boats and says it is his im?
pression that the squadron fired only
against these two ships. One cf
these foreign torpedo boats diappear
ed af ter firing. The other remained
until morning waiting for it compan?
ion, or repairing.
Admiral Rojestvensky denies that
Russian warship was left behind for
six hours, and never lowered a boat to

says were totally ignorant of any
shots having struck trawlers. On be?
half of himself and all of his officers

spondent of the Assented Press
learns that the Danish ministry of
marine was informed that several
shins chartered by Japanese were at
Hull and intended to attack the Rus?
sian second Pacific squadron in the
North Sea. The Russians were in?
formed of this. The marine authori?
ties here credit the report.
The Danish ministry was officially
informed that 13 Swedish vessels had
beeu chartered by the Japanese to at?
tack the Russian squadron in the Bal?
tic. A Danish cruiser and torpedo
boat watched the vessels so closely
that their approach to the Russian
squadron was impossible.
While mus engaged the Danish tor?
pedo boat Havhasten had a narrow es?
cape. The commander of a Russian
battleship mistook the Danish torpedo
boat for an enemy and fired a blank
shot. The quickness of the torpedo
boat iu displaying its flag saved her.
This happened at night time. When
the captain of the torpedo boat board?
ed the battle ship he found large
quantities of ammunition piled ready
for nse. This incident was reported
to the Danish marine minister nt
the time.
Danish war ships acted us police for
