Union Aoaociatai Freon. * Che Poo, Nov. 16 —The Rus- •ian torpedo boat destroyer Ra«- toropuy escaped from Port Ar thur and put in here early this morning. Firing was heard half in hour before she entered the harbor. It was first [.believed that she hoped to elude at night the Japanese de.troyer outside the harbor, but later the cap- ~ tain notified the Chinese auth orities that he would disarm. It is rumored that the Rastoropuy . . brought a dispatch from Gen. * Btoessel to the Czar asking for instructions [whether to continue the holdout awaiting relief or to make immediate arra^ement with the Japanese for surrender under the best terms possible. Union Aaaociated Press. Cb# Poo, Nov. 16.—TlieRasto- ropoy was blown up tod?y by her late commander to prevent the Japanese from towing her out forcibly.

James Hay, of Virginia, one of the democratic leaders in con gress, has this to say in regard to the future action of the party: “I think the time has comd for the Sopth to assert itself and re- fu o to any longer follow the dic tates of the northern democracy, ‘The talk of a new party, ot reorganizat on along radical lines should not be lis' fined to by any true democrat A new party certain'y could do no better than the old one, and there is no need of radical reorganization. The Democrats should simp'y get to gether und stand for llie princi ples of true democracy. We nave sustained severer defeats lhan that of Tuesday ard recov ered. In 1872, af er the dlsas- t ous campaign of Ho ace Gree ley, it was freely predicted that the democratic pai ty would cease to exist, but it lived to adminis ter defeat, to the R-publicans in 1884 and 1892, and I see no rea son why the democrats may not expect history to repeat itse f.
