FIGHTING AT PORT ARTHUR Japanese Warships Shell the Forts As Land Troops Advance Are Now Within Ten Miles of Besieged Fortress.

St. Petersburg. July 11. Lieutenant General Sakharoff, in a dispatch to the general staff, confirms the report of the Japanese occupation of Kai Chou. He says the Russian loss did not exceed 150 killed or wounded.

General Sakharoff adds that the Japanese are on the Yinkow road. General Sakharoff says: "Our detachment remained during July 8 at Kai Chou station, having its advance posts on the right bank of the Kantakhe river, the enemy occupying the heights on the left bank and fortifying themselves thereon. "Our battery on the railroad bridge opened fire at the enemy's patrols which appeared in Kantakhe village. Towards noon a fusillade occurred between a detachment of the enemy and our company which observed the enemy retiring. Our losses were six wounded.

"Towards the evening of July 8 the enemy's force, consisting of four divisions and a brigade, could be made out in front of Kai Chou, extending along the seashore. At dawn July 9 the enemy resumed the offensive upon the rear guard of our detachment, which retired about 6.30 in the morning from Kai Chou to 2 Ms miles northward toward the' Shuanhunsa pass. At 3 0 o'clock, under heavy pressure, our rear guard retired on our position at Makhuntsguigab and Yaclintas. three miles north of the Shuanlunsa pass. The rear guard held this position under a heavy fire until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when, in accordance with instructions, it retired slowly and in perfect order to the third position at Tchjoutzziandza just as our main body was concentrated at Datchapu and on the.

position at Makhuntsguiga. "The enemy kept up a very heavy cannonade for two hours uninterruptedly, but our battery carried on the struggle successfully, firing along the Shualunsa pass. It finally fell back with hardly any casualties. "On our right flank our horse battery shelled the Japanese battery. At the same time the enemy's cavalry advanced slowly along the shore road to Yinkow.

"Our losses are not yet known, but according to the commander of our forces they do not exceed 150. Among the killed was Count Nyrodt, captain on the general staff, who abandoned the last position after brilliantly carrying out his duties as chief of staff with the rear guard." General Sakharoff also reports an ambush of Japanese 25 miles north of Siu Yen, when the Japanese had one officer and 11 dragoons killed or wounded. On July 7, General Sakharoff says, the Japanese began to advance, but not in considerable force, toward Siaosyou, occupying Sien Chan. Russian Cruiser Attacked By Japs. Tokio, July 11.

FIGHTING NEAR PORT ARTHUR Jap Ships Shell Forts As Land Troops Advance. Chefoo.

July 11 A fair wind brought a fleet of junks from Port Arthur, carrying both Chinese and Europeans. Reports which they bring of conditions at Port Arthur are contradictory, but they all say that a Japanese division from the northward is entrenching seven miles from the marine camp, while another division from the eastward is fighting continuously, and with the aid of the fleet is endeayoring to gain a position commanding the town and naval base. A Russian says that the Japanese occupied the summit of Takushan mountain, which is about three miles from Port Arthur, on the night of July 6, with a mounted battery of artillery. On July 7 the Russian cruiser Novik pnd four gunboats went out under protection of the guns on Golden Hill and shelled a Japanese battery, which was surrounded and captured finally by Russian infantry. The fighting to the eastward of Port Arthur had been very heavy since July 4.

The Japanese ships along the shore are shelling the Russian position in tlfe hills. The smoke from the artillery on the hills around Port Arthur is seen almost continuously. Dead and wounded are being brought in at all hours, and many private houses have been turned into hospitals. Only Time Table In Effect May IS. 1904.

CHRIST PARKER SPRUNG A SURPRISE In a Telegram New Yorker Refused to Straddle On the Currency Question, After Vigorous Debate the Convention Sends Him a Message Saying His Attitude Is Acceptable. St. Louis. July 11. The Democratic national convention adjourned sine die at 1.30 o'clock Sunday morning, after nominating Judge Alton B.

Parker, of New York, for president, and Henry G. Davis, of West Virginia, for vice president. The nomination of Judge Parker was dramatic in the extreme. Nearly 10 hours of oratory preceded the vote, aosiutotnrx, ttixhs pabkkb'b home, bbo- PUB, N. T.

those placed in nomination beside Judge Parker being William R. Hearst, of New York; Senator F. M. Cockrell. of Missouri; Richard Olney, of Massachusetts; Edward C.

Wall, of Wisconsin; Judge George Gray, of Delaware; John Sharp -Williams, of Mississippi, and General Nelson A. Miles. The vote was brought about by Delegate James Kerr, of Pennsylvania, demanding the regular order. The chairman was rapping in vain for silence, and the clerks were imploring the delegates to be seated. "Vote! Vote!" was heard, and without delay the clerk started the roll.

The call then went on rapidly and without causing comment. At the close it stood 658 for Parker. Before the vote was announced Idaho changed her six votes, giving him 664, and West Virginia added three votes, giving him the 667 votes, or two-thirds necessary. This was followed by a motion by Champ Clark to make the nomination of Parker unanimous. Great enthusiasm followed, and a monster American flag was unfurled from the dome of the building.

The band struck up "The Star Spangled Banner." Patrick A. Collins, of Massachusetts, took the stand to second the motion to make the nomination unanimous, delegates standing on chairs and waving flags, making it almost impossible for him to be heard. The vote was made unanimous, and then the convention broke loose. Eight thousand small flags were waving from the pit to the galleries, and the great Coliseum was a waving mass of red, white and blue, with the great yellow dome overhead altogether it made a wonderful picture. ALTON BROOKS PARKER Alton Brooks Parker, the Democratic nominee for president, was born in Cortland.

N. May 14, 1852. He was educated in the public schools, and later attended the Cortland normal school. He then studied law and graduated from the Albany law school, shortly after belnpc admitted to the bar. Mr.

Parker Is chief Judge of the New York court of appeals, having been elected In 1898. He has held the following offices: Surrogate, Ulster county, N. 1877-S5; judge supreme court. New York, 1895-97; ap-poined on second division court of appeals, 1889-93; general term, 1S93-6; appellate division, 1S96-7. Nominating a Vice President.

Henry Gassaway Davis, of West Virginia, former United States senator from that state, was nominated shortly after midnight Sunday morning for vice president of the United States. On the first ballot ex-Senator Davis received 652 votes, or 15 less than the two-thirds necessary to elect. Before the ballot was announced a number of states announced that their votes were changed in his favor, and a motion to make the nomination unanimous was carried with enthusiasm. The nomination of ex-Senator Davis, who is 81 years old, was the closing act of the stormy convention. Immediately after the nomination had been made unanimous the great gathering adjourned sine die, and the delegates rushed out of the hall, some to seek their beds and hundreds of others to try to catch trains for home.

Those placed in nomination besides Mr. Davis were: Ex-Senator George Turner, ol Washington; Robert Williams, of Illinois, and William A. Harris, of Kansas. Delegate John Lamb, of Indiana, moved that the Democratic national committee be authorized to fill any vacancy that might occur on the national ticket. The motion was made in the form of a resolution which was adopted without opposition.

A resolution naming and thanking the officers of the convention was also GEORGE J. LINCOLN Commercial Agent skirmishes have to the northward. The main force is 10 nilcs away, hut scouts have boon soon in the vicinity of the main camps, which command the principal pass to the hills directly back of Port Arthur. On the nights of July 2, 3 and 4 the Japanese fleet bombarded the roads from the south of the town. Tho foils were not damaged.

No further night attacks have been made since July 4. A Chinese mechanic from the Port Arthur dry dock says that two large thrce-funnelsxl ships have been missing from the Russian fleet since the fight off Port Arthur on Juno 23. The battleship Sevastopol is still undergoing repairs, and four torpedo boat destroyers are in dry dock. The Russians, on the other hand, say that their fleet is intact, and that as a matter of fact the Japanese have been the losers in the fights off Port Arthur. Some of the torpedo attacks of the Japanese have been almost fanatical.

Frequently they have made attacks where success was impossible, and when the torpedo boats have been sunk the Japanese refused assistance, either committing suicide or fighting off their rescuers. BRYAN MUCH IMPROVED Left Sick Ged to Go to Convention Against Physician's Wishes. St. Louis. July 11.

William Ilryan left the Jefferson hotel and went to the residence of his cousin. Dr. Jennings, of this city. His physical condition is much improved, and he expects to leave for his home tonight. When Mr.

Rryan left his bed Saturday night to go to the convention hall his temperature was above 100 and he complained of much soreness of the lungs. He was examined after the close of the convention by Dr. Osborne, 'who decided that there was nothing alarming in his condition, and that quiet and rest would quickly restore him to his usual good health. His appearance at the convention hall was in opposition to the commands of his physician and contrary to the wishes of his friends. He left his bed at a time when his attendants were absent from the room, and in doing so created considerable alarm for his safety.

MAN'S BODY IN OLD MATTRESS Italian Who Was Stabbed to Death Found Near Philadelphia. Philadelphia, July 11. Wrapped in an old corn husk and straw-filled mattress, the body of a man who had been stabbed to death was found on the bank of Wissahickon creek, out the outskirts of this city. There was a deep stab wound in the breast. The man was evidently an Italian.

The only clue to the identity of the body was a brass pay check and a note addressed to a contractor, which were found in the dead man's clothes. The note requested the bearer to call on the contractor. The police are trying to locate the latter in order to have him identify the dead man and possibly give a clue to the murderer. The body was thrown where it lay between 11 p. m.

Saturday and daylight Sunday. Wagon tracks found near the spot indicate that it was brought there from one of the Italian settlements of Ger-mantown, which is near the Wissahickon creek. Miraculous Statue Crowned. New York, July 11. In the presence of 25,000 people an imposing ceremony took place here when by special permission of the pope the miraculous statue of Our Lady of Mount Car-mel, belonging to the church of the same name, was crowned by Archbishop Farley.

The function is a rare occurrence any where and it is' the first time that such a ceremony has ever been performed in the United States. A letter written by his holiness in Italian, giving permission to crown the statue was read. New Burlington Outrage. Burljngton, N. July 11.

Judge Parker, the nominee for president, threw a bomb into the convention by sending this message to William F.

Sheehan, of New York: "I regard the gold standard as firmly and irrevocably established and shall act accordingly if the action of the convention shall be ratified by the people. As the platform is silent on the subjectrny views should be made known to the convention, and if it is proved to be unsatisfactory to the majority I request you to decline the nom ination for me at once, so that another may be nominated before adjournment." A long conference of leaders, which lid not include Mr. Bryan, followed the receipt of the telegram. Senator Tillman and others were greatly angered by the telegram, but, after talking it ver for several hours, an agreement was reached to ask the convention to authorize the sending of the following telegram to Judge Parker: "The platform adopted by this con vention is silent on the question of the monetary standard, because it is not regarded by us as a possible issue in this campaign, and only campaign issues were mentioned in the platform. Therefore there is nothing in the views expressed by you in the telegram just received which would preclude a man entertaining them from accepting a nomination on said platform." This telegram was read to the convention by Senator Tillman, and he, John Sharp Williams, Senator Daniel and others urged the convention to i'avVr it.

W. J. Bryan rose from his sick bed and entered the convention to oppose the sending of the telegram without amendment. He demanded that Judge Parker be asked to state his views on the recoinage of silver and asset currency. The debate on the leaders' proposition lasted far into the night, when Mr.

Bryan withdrew his objections, in the interest of harmony, and the convention, by an overwhelming vote, ordered the telegram prepared by the leaders sent to Judge Parker. NATIONAL COMMITTEE MEETS Endorsed Thomas Taggart, of Indiana, For St. Louis, July 11. The national committee met at 2.30 o'clock yesterday morning and again at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon with the avowed intention, on behalf of the supporters of Taggart, of Indiana, of organizing by electing him chairman. It was pointed out by Norman E.

Mack, of New York, that it would be discourteous to take any action until Mr. Parker, as the candidate, was consulted. Chairman Jones made this statement: "The national convention, by specific resolution, adopted last night, authorized me, in fact instructed me, to call the first meeting of the new committee in New York city. Until I call it, the new committee cannot organize and meetings they have are unauthorized. Now, let me say forcibly, if need be, that acting under the convention authority I call the national committee to meet in New York city at such time as Judge Parker shall designate, for before I call it I shall consult him.

It would be an unprecedented thing for the new committee to organize without consultation with the candidate. Such a thing was never heard of." After nearly two hours' debate, Senator Bailey offered to compromise if the committee would adopt a resolution endorsing the candidacy of Thos. Taggart for chairman of the committee. Mr. Mack agreed to this, and the resolution was adopted.

The commit-, tee will, therefore, meet in New York on the call of Chairman Jones. SATURDAY'S GAMES. Chicago, St. Ixmis, 1 (1st game). St.
