MAKAROFF STUCK TO POST.
Grand Duke Cyril Tells of the Wreck
of the Petropavlovsk.
8T. PETERSBURG, May 8, 9 P. M.
Grand Duke Cyril, eldest son of Grand
Duke Vladimir and a cousin of the Em
3eror, has returned to St Petersburg from
the Far East He arrived unostentatious
ly, and only his family and a few friends
were at the railroad station to greet him.
The Grand Duke looks much thinner
than he did before ho left for the scene
of the hostilities, but the burns he re
ceived at the time of the disaster tn thA
battleship Petropavlovsk off Port Arthur I
have healed and he complains now only
of a wrenched back.
The flrst announcement made by Grand
Duko Cyril on. his return was that he In
tended to return to the Far East with the
Russian Baltic squadron. In an interview
regarding the explosion on the Petropav
lovsk the Grand Duke said:
"I was standing on the bridge by the
side of Vice-Admiral Makaroff when I
felt the shock of the explosion. My first
Impression was that a 12-lnch shell had
entered the powder magazine, and in
stinctively I leaped to the other side of
the bridge. Vice-Admiral Makaroff did
not move. In the twinkling of an eye I
climbed the rail and dived into the water.
"On coming up I saw Makaroff still at
the same place, gripping the rail, his
face streaming with blood. I was weighted
with a heavy overcoat and could not keep
afloat. I went down, but on rising caught
the floating wreck of a boat. Two seamen
recognized me and helped to support mc
Until a boat arrived."
OFFICERS ACT AS SPIES.
3Captured Japanese Say They Expect
to Be Executed.
HARBIN. April 17. (Delayed in trans
mission.) Tho large scale on which the
Japanese have been secretly penetrating
Manchuria for the purpose of destroying
the railway is revealed in the confession
of a Japanese Major and Captain, who
were captured by Russian border guards.
In all 100 oflicers of the Japanese general
Btaff and 300 men left Tekln since the
war began. They were endeavoring espe
cially to reach points where the railroad
crosses the river. If they failed to reach
, these points they were to destroy the rall
nray at any other place.
The Major and Captain belonged to a
party of nine, six of whom were Japanese,
the other three belnff Chinese coolies. The
prisoners were dressed in Mongolian cos
tumes. Not far away from where they
were taken was a tent In which was
found nitro-glycerin and dynamite, charts
end an enormous wrench for unscrewing
fcolts, as well as scissors tied to long
sticks which were to bo "used for cutting
wires.
The prlsonors were brought here, where
they stated that they had been attached
to the Japanese Legation at Pekin. They
expected death, saying that such sentence
Is Imposed on Russians found in Japan
bound on such an errand. They refused
to give information regarding other simi
lar parties.
WAR-TIME ECONOMY.
Action of Japanese Is Threatening
the Production Industry.
RICHMOND. Ind.. May 9. Guerney Bon
TreJ, a Friends" missionary In Japan, writ
lrg to relatives here, says of the war
situation in Japan:
"A remarkable thing is the surprising
econom which Is observed in every place.
People are not spending more money than
Is absolutely necessary. Families who
have occupied two houses are closing one
anJ two families enter one house. No one
is putting out money for repairs, etc To
such an extent is economy practiced that
it seems to threaten productive industry
av.l bring trouble upon laboring classes.
"I till thorn that it is foolish to do so.
ior while the general claim Is made that
this is done for economy to save money
f :r the war, in reality it is extravagance
because by the stopping of the regular
chmnels of Industry the necessary funds
nnl provisions cannot be produced.
"It is said that to an extent the Em
peror is eating only from one dish, a
rice bowl, and that his food is tho same
as that given to the soldiers. He Is do
ing this, they say. to set an example of
economy and show sympathy with the
people "
Japanese at Fair Rejoice.
, ST. LOUIS. May S.-Japanese at the
"World's Fair today celebrated the recent
victories of Japan's armies in the war
with Russia. The meeting was opened by
ho reading of the declaration of war by
tho Japanese government on Russia, after
which everj person in the audience rose
and with uncovered heads Joined in sing-
Twelfth and Twenty-second "Regiments,
a battalion of the Twenty-fourth Regi
ment, all the riflemen of the Third Bat
tery of the Third Artillery Brigade, the
Second and Third Batteries of the Sixth
Artillery brigade, the Second Company of
Siberian Sappers and a machine-gun de
tachment of the Third Rifle Brigade.
General Kuropatkin does not give the
strength of the Japanese, only reporting
that It was five times greater and far su
perior in artillery than the Russian forces.
Loses Fifth of Forces.
The casualties show that one-fifth of
General Zassalltch'scommand was placed
out of action. The Eleventh and Twelfth
Regiments lost more than half their men
In the fight. The Third Battery of the
Third Artillery Brigade was almost anni
hilated, losing 88 in killed or wounded
and 72 out of 110 horses.
The Second Battery of the Sixth Bri
gade lost 44 in killed or wounded, and 100
out of 110 horses.
The Third Battery of the Sixth Brigade
lost 24 killed or wounded and 41 horses.
Of the machine-gun detachment only
26 were not killed or wounded.
The name of the priest of the Eleventh
Regiment who led the gallant charge and
who was among tho wounded, is H. E.
Tcherbackoffsky, of the Orthodox Greek
Church.
General Kuropatkin says that no pris
oners were taken by the Japanese, but he
admits that seven oflicers and 679 men
were left on the field, but it is not known
whether they were wounded or dead.
Gleam of Brightness.
The only gleam of brightness in the dark
cloud overshadowing the East, lies in
the official information . from General
Pflug that Port Arthur is not yet blocked
by the Japanese. How this Information
was obtained the officials will not say, but
they Insist that it is reliable and are sat
isfied that the defenders will prevent the
success of the further efforts which the
Japanese will undoubtedly make to bottle
up the harbor.
CORRESPONDENTS WELCOME.
Russians at Mukden Seem Anxious
to Meet Enemy. 0
MUKDEN, May 8, 1 A. M. The Asso
ciated Press correspondent finally received
permission to proceed from. NIu Chwang
to Mukden by way of Llao Yang.
Observations from the car window were
unique. The spectacle in many places of
artillery parks amid the springing wheat,
and Cossacks in multi-colored shirts lin
ing the road entirely changed the aspects
of Manchuria since the correspondent's
departure from headquarters at Port Ar
thur more than two months ago.
Notwithstanding the extensive military
occupation and operations in the Eastern
region, the country here presents a singu
larly peaceful appearance. The farmers
and natives apparently are undisturbed
and are profiting by the advance of the
prices of products.
The foreign guests of the Russian au
thorities in Manchuria note the business
like conduct of the war and also the ab
sence of excitement and are surplsed at
the machine-like operation of the railroad.
The Russians apparently welcomed the
correspondent as an evidence that there
will be active campaigning soon, which
was la signal contrast with the correspon
dent's observations at Port Arthur when
the war opened, as the correspondents
there were regarded as harbingers of evil
and as being undesirable on account of
war.
The lavish equipment of the railroad in
cludes many American locomotives, all
the rest of the equipment being of Russian
make.
At Llao Tang the attaches congregate
at the railroad station, which for the mo
ment is the center of Interest, and dine
at brilliantly-lighted tables In the crowded
dining-rooms, discussing the meager news
which may have eluded tho official vigil
ance. News of the progress of the war in the
regions to the west and south and other
information is exclusively reported In offi
cial dispatches, but upon the correspon
dents' arrival here yesterday. Viceroy
Alexieff extended to them an invitation
to submit dally censored dispatches for
transmission to the Western press.
LOSS AT KIULIEN CHENG.
Fierce Attack of Japanese Resulted
In Great Slaughter.
ST. PETERSBURG, May S. The Emper
or has received a dispatch from General
Kuropatkin, giving the report of JLieu-tenant-General
Zassalltch of the Russian
losses In the battle of Klullen Cheng. The
report states that Major-General Kash
talinsky was injured in the head by a
stone. The brunt of the fighting. General
Zassalltch says, was borne by the Elev
enth and Twelfth rifle regiments and the
Twenty-second Regiment.
The fighting was so desperate that the
Russian regiments were obliged to make
several counter attacks and to cut a way
for themselves with the bayonet against
the enemy, who was stronger than tho
Rdsslans and was supported by very
numerous artillery.
In this fight, so terrible but glorious
for the Eleventh and Twelfth Regiments,
the losses In killed were four officers. In
cluding the commander of the Eleventh
and 4S1 noncommissioned officers and
men. The wounded were one officer and
801 noncommissioned officers and men and
a chaplain, while 700 others were left.on
the field. General Zassalltch confirms the
reports of the enormous mortality among
the artillery horses and concludes his re
port as follows:
"Our losses on April 30 and May 1 al
together amounted to 70 superior and sub
altern officers and 2324 killed, wounded or
taken prisoners. Of this total 10S1 were
left on the battlefield, but it is 'not known
whether they were killed or wounded.
"In consequence of the heavy losses in
men and battery horses and the difficulties
encountered in the roadless country, it
is absolutely impossible to bring away the
guns and machine guns.
"The Eleventh and Twelfth Regiments,
notwithstanding their losses, were re
formed in good order under the protec
tion of the Third Rifle Division, which did
not participate in the fight, but which
was brought up to cover the retreat,"

CANDIDATE FOR EPISCOPACY
Pulpits of Los Angeles and Adjoining
Towns Are Occupied by the
Leading Ministers of the
Methodist Church.
LOS ANGELES. CaL, May 8. Bishops,
ministers and presiding elders In attend
ance upon the Methodist General Con
ference occupied pulpits in Protestant
churches in Los Angeles, Pasadena and
all surrounding cities and towns within
a radius of 60 miles today and every
place of worship was crowded at morning
and evening services to listen to distin
guished speakers. At Hazard's Pavilion
mass meetings in the morning, afternoon
and evening were attended by as many as
could find seats or standing room.
At the First Methodist Church, Los
Angeles, Rev. Dr. George Peckman, pas
tor of St. Paul's Church, New York, who
has been spoken of as a candidate for
bishopric honors, spoke in the morning
to a large congregation, which Included
besides many prominent local residents,
scores of visiting churchmen. In the
evening at the same place, Dr. Frank M.
Bristol, pastor of Metropolitan Church,
"Washington, D. C, preached to an audi
ence that filled to overflowing the spa
clous and beautiful house of worship.
Hundreds were unable to gain admission.
At the First Methodist Episcopal
Church, Pasadena, the most beautiful
church in Southern California, and hav
ing one of the wealthiest congregations
in the Methodist denomination. Dr. A. E.
Leonard spoke at the morning services
and Rev. Dr. Jesse Bowman Young, of
"Walnut Hill Church, Cincinnati, at the
evening services. Scores of delegates
were in attendance at both services.
To every town in Southern California
the committee on pulpit supply- sent out
visiting ministers, and from every place
came reports tonight of great crowds and
much religious enthusiasm awakened by
the eloquent speakers.
Bishop C. C. McCabe, the great evan
gelistic preacher of the Methodist de
nomination, addressed two large meet
ings, the first at the South Pasadena
Church In the morning, and in the even
ing at Blanchard's Hall, in this city.
At Hazard's Pavilion this morning a
great crowd assembled to hear brief
talks by half a dozen of the prominent
ministers, including Bishops Foss and
Waldren. The meeting was much in the
form of a revival service.
In the afternoon. Bishop Charles H.
Fowler, conceded to be one of the most
able leaders in the Methodist Church, ad
dressed a meeting for men only on the
subject of "Reincarnation."
Among the services attracting most
general public attention this morning was
that held In the Temple Baptist Church,
at which Rev. R. Day, of Syracuse Uni
versity, discoursed.
He was introduced by Mr. Burdette
and preached a very able sermon in de
fense of the Christian faith. The fact
that ceratin evangelistic partisans in the
conference havo seen fit to criticise se
verely Dr. Day's teachings in regard to
his views of the higher criticism, and the
further fact that it has been published in
this city Bince the beginning of the con
ference that specific charges may be
brought against Dr. Day in the effort to
defeat his candidacy for episcopacy, has
also served to arouse general public in
terest in his pulpit utterances.
One of the sensations of the confer
ence which, however, did not reach the
public until today, has been the circula
tion of copies of a pamphlet issued by
Evangelist Manhall, of the Bible League,
which is construed to mean the opening
of the contest against the higher critics.
HELPED BY OTHER'S BOOM.
Hearst's Candidacy Makes Democrats
Turn to Cleveland.
Chicago Chronicle.
The mere fact that "William R. Hearst
Is gravely accepted anywhere as a can
didate for the Democratic nomination for
the Presidency is more and more coming
to be recognized as a disgrace not only
to the party but to the country.
No one can contemplate this candidacy
without realizing that it marks a degrad
ation of politics never before reached In
America. It is so destitute of reason, it
Is so barren of respectability, it has its
Inspiration in such vanity and vulgarity.
It has so little to recommend It and It ap
peals so exclusively to the greedy and the
depraved that its essential Impudence
cannot fall ultimately to force Itself upon
the most thoughtless.
It Is going to take something more than
words to wipe out this stain upon the
record of the Democratic party. No half
way measures at St. Louis will suffice. A
political party which has fallen so low as
to make such a candidacy as this possible
must assert ltelf in no uncertain way or
accept the stigma which has thU3 been
placed upon It
All kinds of men have aspired to the
Presidency, some of the good and some
of them bad, but this is the first instance
in the history of the Republic In which a
person without brains, without character,
without experience, without acquaintance
and without any qualification for leader
ship except that which Inherited wealth
can buy has had the audacity to force
himself by braggadocio and bribery upon
the attention of his betters as a pretended
candidate for the most exalted office in
the world.
In one respect and In one respect only
the Democratic party is responsible for
this upstart, and it will have to accept the
responsibility and make the most of It
unless it shall regain its self-control early
enough In the proceedings at St. Louis to
take action sufficiently vigorous to show
that its repudiation of him is sincere and
without reservation.
The respect In which the Democratic
party is responsible for him is to be found
in the fact that for some years it has
maintained so slovenly an organization
and has encouraged so many vulgar
characters as leaders that even Hearst
was in some degree excusable for presum
ing to aspire to its National leadership.
"When the Democratic party took up
with Populism and attempted to give it
respectability it prepared the way for
Hearst or for any other pretender who,
either with money or with cheek, was able
to make a demonstration In the direction
of a position once reserved for men of
conspicuous merit.
Inviting as the subject Is for denuncia
tion and for moralizing, it is useless to
discuss it so far as the Democratic party
Is concerned. The record of that party has
been made, and it is about as shameful as
any attaching to a great organization In
the history of the human race. Demo
crats can have no pride in their recent
past. They must look to the future or
accept as merited the Judgment that they
have invited.
A party In which a Hearst can buy or
bully state delegations can save Itself in
only one way and that Is by dopting such
measures In its National Convention as
will prove to the world that it has re
gained its senses and is desirous of merit
ing the approval of the decent elements
of the population.
There Is one Democrat whom it has

train to belittle and to slander. There is
one Democrat whose very virtues have
been made a cause of offense by the men
who are chargeable with the Hearst can
didacy. There is one Democrat who stands
for everything that the Hearst follow
ing holds in contempt. There is one Demo
crat whom they hate, not because he has
injured them, but because they have
wronged him, and they know it. It is
hardly necessary to say that we refer to
Grover Cleveland.
This great Democrat and eminent citi
zen has declined to be a candidate for the
Presidency and his wishes are entitled to
respect, but the Democratic party owes It
to Itself and to the Nation to call him
once more to its leadership if for no other
reason than to set itself right in the
mattter of Hearst,
Whether Mr. Cleveland would accept a
nomination tendered with substantial
unanimity it is not possible now to say,
but such a nomination offered in such a
way would be of vastly more importance
to the party and to the country than it
could possibly be to Mr. Cleveland. So
far as he Is concerned the measure of his
honors is full. The Democratic party Is
not so happily situated. It can honor him
no further. It can honor Itself and It
can administer merited chastisement to
the men who have brought shame upon it
and upon the country.
The nomination of Hearst or of any one
like him at St. Louis is inconceivable. It
will satisfy Hearst and his panders if he
can appear to have been so much as con
sidered. They have seen one man make
a fortune out of two unsuccessful candi
dacies. They will not be at all cast down
by their failure to achieve the prize which
they pretend to be seeking. They will turn
even an overwhelming defeat to some
account in the dubious business which
they are conducting.
What Is needed and the only thing that
will fit the case at all Is not only the in
dignant repudiation of this degrading can
didacy, but the nomination at the samo
time of the man whose restoration to
party leadership would be a stlngim? re
buke to all of the unspeakables who have
been courting favor at the hands of the
Ignorant by heaping misrepresentation
and calumny upon him.
HOPING FOECLEVELA23D.
Nomination Might Induce ex-Presl-dent
to Make the Race.
Chicago Chronicle.
The esteemed Brooklyn Eagle was the
flrst newspaper, we believe, to suggest the
nomination of Mr. Cleveland by the Dem
ocrats this year. Mr. McKelway, Its edi
tor, is the person to wnom Mr. Cleveland
addressed his celebrated letter of last
November.
The Eagle now declares in effect that no
one can urge Mr. Cleveland's nomination
and Mr. Cleveland himself cannot accept
a nomination without stultification. In
deed, the valued Eagle Is quite out of
patience with the movement in behalf
of the ex-President, and it has no hesita
tion in declaring that it is not creditable
to anybody concerned.
At the risk of being misunderstood by
the Brooklyn Warwick the Chronicle will
venture the remark that Mr. Cleveland
might be nominated, he might accept the
nomination, he might make an Enthusi
astic campaign, and he might be elected
and serve out his term without convict
ing himself or anybody else of Insincerity.
Mr. Cleveland is entitled to be and ho
has been taken at;fals word. No friend of
his questions the honesty of his expres
sion of an unwillingness again to be a
candidate, but It sometimes happens that
even men of very decided character
change their minds as a result of condi
tions and events over which they have no
control.
We do not know, and we do not believe
that Mr. McKelway knows any better
than we do, what the future may bring
forth. Of one thing we may be quite cer
tain, however. If the Democratic Na
tional Convention, after deliberation and
unsuccessful effort to agree upon some
body else, should turn to Grover Cleve
land and with substantial unanimity offer
Mm tho nomination, a question would b
presented to him for consideration which
would make blank paper of anything he
may have written on to a Brooklyn editor
last year.
A nomination for the Presidency by Mr.
McKelway Is a great compliment, of
course, and when It Is followed up with
such convincing arguments as the Brook
lyn Eagle Is able to marshal to Its sup
port, It is a serious matter, but, with due
respect to the editor and his newspaper,
we incline to the opinion that a nomi
nation by a National convention Is far
more weighty and that it may call for a
different answer.
Mr. McKelway, who Is taking himself
very seriously these days, needs to be re
minded that, distinguished as he Is among
the genuine Democrats of the country, the
letter he received from Mr. Cleveland
was not, strictly speaking, official. It was
an answer to Mr. McKelway himself.
The Democratic party In Its great council
has a right to Ignore that answer with
out casting any reflection upon either Mr.
Cleveland or Mr. McKelway and to ask
for a reply addressed to Itself.
This contingency max not present Itself,
but If it should do so the fact should be
borne in mind that no one looks upon the
Presidential nomination of a great party
as a personal insult, and that thus far
In our history no such nomination has
ever been declined.
In BPite of his Brooklyn letter Mr. Cleve
land finds himself the object of greater-
popular Interest today than he was at
the time when it was written. He Is the
first choice of most of the men who are
rfor Judge Parker. If the Democratic
party has a desire to divorce itself from
the radicals who have led it almost to
destruction It cannot so emphatically pro
claim the fact as by calling once more
to Its leadership the man under whom
It won notable victories and gained the
good opinion of elements of the population
which are worth cultivating.
If such an uprising In favor of Mr.
Cleveland as is readily possible should
take place it would be painful Indeed to
find Mr. McKelway and his Eagle lagging
behind. We do not believe that they will
lag behind.
