PARIS. May IB (New York Herald Ca
blegram Special Telegram to The Be.)
The Herald s European edition publishes
the following from Its military expert:
"At present on con only compliment
th Russian cavalry on the way It con
veys Information to th general staff on
the positions and the amallest movements
of the enemy. Every day the generals are
Informed, of the route taken by lt column
and the village they reach. We may say
that an Immense net work of Cossacks,
vigilant and always ready to attsck, covers
In every direction the space which separ
ates General Kouropatkin from the num
erous bodies of Japaneae troops which are
still scattered and isolated.
"The army of General Kurol'I continues
Its flanking movement toward Hat Cheng,
where scouts of General Oku have already
been seen. A dispatch from Seoul leads
us to suppose that a part of the forces of
thin latter general has landed at Taku
Shan., as everything led people to suspect.
This would explain the presence near this
olty of strong Japanese columns moving
toward the west, which has been persist
ently reported.
"The question whether New Chwang ha
already been evacuated by the Russian
or not I of little importance. It 1 proved
that thl city la In any case nearly de
nuded of troopa. It is evident that those
which, still remain there will fall back on
Llao Yang a aoon as the Japanese reach
the neighborhood of Hal , Cheng. It la,
therefore, only a question of day when
New Chwang will be abandoned.
Port Arthur Amply Manned. v
"A to Port Arthur, which certainly
eem to be ufflclently provided with men
and war material of all kind to be able to
resist for months, it doe not appear to be
at present the objective point of th troopa
recently landed at Pltsewo and vicinity.
The flrnt effort of the Japanese on the
land side will doubtless be directed against
the defensive work erected by the Rus
sians on the narrow part of the Isthmu
near Kin Chow, otherwise they would
have to make th very haiardous attmept
to land In the face of the enemy. Dalny
eem to be a more favorable point for
such an operation. But If It I tru that
the Russian have not healtated to sacri
fice the many millions spent by them In
constructing the jetties, quays and dock
of thl port,, a landing there would become
lao a very difficult problem. Therefore It
I Ilttoly that the Japanese will begin their
advance by land by way of the Isthmus of
Kin Chow as soon a they have enough
men available.
"However that may be, everything leads
us to suppose that within a few day a
great battle will take place In the direction
of Llao Yang, the Japanese not having
yet had time to bring up their heavy
guns which aided them ao much in the
crossing o fthe Yalu. This will be an
other card In th hands of the Russians,
who have guns of large calibre in their
entrenchments before Llao Yang.
"A fact that leads to the belief that
General Kouropatkin has this tlm decided
to test the fortune of battle I that no
dispatch up to the present ha spoken of
any movement mad by the army which
he command. For if h had wished to
retire without fighting In order to draw
the Japanese further in th direction of
Harbin, he would have already' sent back
at least a part of his Immense convoys,
which he would naturally send ahead In
case of a' retreat."
v Cry la More Troopa.
(Copyright, by New York Herald Co.. 1B04.)
ST. PETERSBURG, May 14. (New York
Herald Cablegram Special Telegram to
The Bee.) An American news agency
naively announced from this city two
weeks ago that General Kouropatkin had
all the troops he wanted. It lamentably
misstated the facts, which are exactly the
contrary,' the cry being "more troops,
more troops."
As I told you, It is now calculated that
the Japaneae troops landed eight di
visions of 23,000 men each, two division
being at Pltsewo, while the rest are co
operating in the - march upon Llao Yang.
Meanwhile th third army Is being rapidly
pushed forward. The tone prevailing here
a to th situation 1 echoed by the Novo
Vremya. In preparing th public for fur
ther disasters that organ says:
"We must unquestionably expect a very
serious engagement, but not a decisive one,
whntevcr the result. So the secret strateg
ical combinations of the enemy cannot have
a definite result on coming events. Our
forces are too small to deal a crushing
blow to the Japanese. On the other hand,
the Japaneae after Chlu Tien Cheng are
scarcely likely to deal ua a ataggaring
blow."
A military critic says: "The enemy has
completed It deployment, and now come
a test of the maneuvering ability of both
idea. Kouropatkin, It appear, 1 avoid
ing a decisive fight, and the enemy is
trying to outflank us and 1 lmultaneoualy
making a strong attack en th center, it
I a moat Interesting apd anxious period."
The laat telegram received by Kourepat
kin fro Port Arthur was sent by Balaachef,
th representative of Ute Red Cross so
ciety, on Thursday, but tb reply to him
did not get through.
According to the program arranged, the
emperor will start tomorrow on a brief
Journey, which will last only a few day.
He will review the troops that ar leaving
for the seat of war, visiting Moscow, Toula,
Kalouga, Belgorod and Kourok. The ciar

DANCHKNKO COJTIATES NARRATIVE
Press Correapoadeat Tell of taeae
aad Iael4ents of War,
LIAO YANG, May 14. Nemlrovich Dan
chenko. the Russian war correspondent in
the service of th Aaeoclated Piss, con
cluded hi personal narrative of his escape
from Port Arthur, th first part of which
was cabled to the Associated Press yester
day, a follows: .
' Having visited the flaming village of
Wafandlan, I wished to proceed thence to
Llao Yang and afterward Join General
Zanaachliluii's forces eastward. With night
fall from the hills outlined against th
lusa of fire, shots were heard occa
sionally. The locomotives showed no signs
of starting. Chinese approached us with
complaints against the governor. who
had executed eight more of our friends.
The Chlnose, frls-litened, huddled around
our on nip (ire. The telegraph wire was
working all night with headquar
ters. At daybreak a monster ammuni
tion train, drawn by several enrlnes, ar
rived. It wan easentlal to tk that train
through to Fort Arthur, an exceptionally
dangerous undertaking in view of the re
appearance of the eneiry. Two equadrone
of frontier guards were sent out to re
eonnoiter the neighborhood. The carswere
armored by a double row of rails against
rifle lire and had on board a company
Of HHlkal engluaers.
A locomotive was sent ahead to set as
a scout. In charge of Lieutenant ZiVadkky,
who actad as engineer, and Lieutenant von
Hoop, two armed stokers and the corre
spondent of the A.ieoi-ialed Frass.
Our nilsxion h to signal the train
wlilrh was following ten minutes t.'Mnd
U tliere wa auy danger that it woui4 at
tract th enemy's attention. In which ea
the train would have been blown up by
the Kusslrns. .
Colonel .Splrldoroff (who, with a force of
officers and men of the Amur railroad bat
talion, had come over the damaged line,
repairing it a he came) gave the signal
and we moved off. wtiti the engine
swathey In clouds of smoke from the
burning station of Wafandlan.
As we drew clear on both side were
verdure-covered slopes, with blue hill In
th distance and occasional glimpses of
the emerald sea. Chinese villages and
miniature gardens alone relieved the mo
notony of the picturesque scene. The
typhoon had passed and there was nothing
then to prevent the enemy'e landing.
Doubtless It was proceeding not far sway.
I saw Chinese women and children flee n
with their family valuables. We eagerly
scanned the treacherous nooks and gorges
of the hills, where the enemy might te
lurking. A slna-le shell shot from a hidden
battery mlcht blow up the mammoth train
behind. There was no sign of Kfs at Po-
landlen.
The charred station house wa as deso
late aa the grave. We overtook th cav
alry scouts and thereafter anted as our
own outpoata. We found th bridge, on
of which had been repaired by Colonel
Splrldoroff on the previous day, were still
guaraea oy our sentries, wno reponea
that the enemy had not appeared,

The

Stanshlllpou. There the troops were drawn
up to meet ua. wa heard tne gooa news
that thirty-six men who had been sur
rounded by the enemy the previous day
and who had vainly been sought by the
Kin Chou garrison, had aucceedeJ In break
ing through the enemy'a line unaided.
After attain starting we saw a detaoh
jnent of cavalry In the midst of a eloud of
dust, near the seashore and stopped to
see whether they were friends or foes.
Through field glasses w recognised Rus
sian uniforms It waa a squadron sent
by General Fock to meet and escort us.
The soldiers hurrahed and galloped for
ward with Joyful faces.
At Kin Chou General Fock and hla staff
came to offer their congratulations on the
accomplishment of such a dangerous and
Important mission "Now that you have
fed Port Arthur in every sense we need
have no anxiety. The enemy Is every
where, but they also missed you," aald
General Fock.
The general thanked Coloneel Splrldoroff
and the other officers and men, and the
train proceeded thence over a well pro
tected line. There was no necessity for
ua to go any further,
A telegram came from Port Arthur ex
pressing heartfelt gratitude.
As we left and resumed our Journey to
Llao Yang we could hear the echoes of
distant explosion, caused by the blowing
up of the piers, docks and quays of Port
Dalny. On our way north we sighted a
detachment of Japanese cavalry.
The enemy continued landing troops at
Han Chou near Cape Terminal, driving
out the Chinese.
The feeling of confidence that Llao
Tung Is not impaired by the apparent
temporary checks to the Russian arms,
which It la claimed, cannot niter the final
outcome. Let Russia, It is added, not give
way to excitement, but look forward cheer
fully. Fresh troop are arriving uninterruptedly.
The Siberian soldiers have a splendid ap-
fearance. They are greatly superior to the
roops from the central Russian provinces.
Lino. Yang is packed with supplies.
The RuHxIan commanders do not believe
the enemy will prove very energetic. They
think the Japanese move against Port
Arthur was a ruse and that their chief
attack Is Intended to be made on Llao
Ysng.
CENSORSHIP RIGID AT NEW CHWAXQ
Russian Goeaalna; and Threaten Preaa
Correspondents with Expalslon.
NEW CHWANG, May I8.-(Delayed In
Transmission.) There Is a persistent rumor
here of a fight between the Russians and
Japanese near Llao Yang, which It I im
possible to confirm officially. Otherwise,
according to the latest authentlo informa
tion regarding the movement of the Japa
nese army, It Is believed that If the three
divisions had passed Feng Wang Cheng
toward Llao Yang, they would have to go
through the difficult mountain passes of
Mao Tien Ling, where they would be
forced to turn back. It I not believed
that they would attempt this now, but
rather turn toward New Chwang, estab
lishing a base there, and using i the Llao
fiver to got above to, Mukden. .
The censor Is passing almost nothing In
the form .of news and correspondents are
threatened with expulsion. The Russian
agent Is watching the telegraph offices on
the railroad between New Chwang and
Shan Hal Kwan and reporting all mes
sage filed to the local censor.
Supplies are being rushed put of this
place and the Russian authorities are busy
dismantling the gunboat Sivouch, prepara
tory of Its ultimate destruction.

BALLOT WITH SO RESULTS
Illinois Itpib'ioani Sti 1 in Deadlock Over
Gubernatorial Oaadidv.e.
CROWD INTERFERES WITH DELEGATES
After Twenty-Two Ineffeetnal Ballot
th roaventioa Adjearna
latll Afteraooa t
Monday.
SPRINGFIELD, 111.. May 14.-After an
other day of fruitless balloting the most
remarkable republican convention In the
history of Illinois took an adjournment at
7:6S p. rn. until I o'clock Monday after
noon, without having broken the guber
natorial deadlock. Tonight the party
leaders are in conference attempting to
bring about a solution of the situation,
but they appear powet-let to do so.
The delegates to the convention have
taken thing Into their own hand and
with practical unanimity tbey decline to
be delivered by the men at the head of
the organisation. The only change In the
situation today resulted In a slight ad
vantage to Attorney General Hamlin. On
the twenty-third ballot he gained thirty
eight votes, and hi, followers made an
attempt to stampede the convention to
him. They failed, however, and on the
next ballot he lost thirteen votes, which
had gone to him. The last ballot taken
resulted as follows:
Yates, 483; Lowdcn, 398; Deneen, 3TB;
Hamlin, 135; Warner, 86; Sherman, 49;
Pierce. 21
Th scenes attending the convention were
similar to those of the previous day and
the demonstrations In favor of the various
candidates ware calculated to sweep a leas
deliberate gathering from Ita feet, but
with every outburst the determination
among the delegates to resist anything in
the way of a stumpede became more pro
nounced. Chairman Cannon, In begging
the ahouters to desist, remarked:
"Thank God, this convention has shown
In a two-days' session that its 1,600 dele
gate ar not to be influenced by banner
or husxahs." --

This Is a life and death struggle be

headed respectively by Congressman W1I
llam Lorlmer and State's Attorney Charles
S. Deneen, with the county delegates hold
ing the whlphand, but so sealous and
loyal to the Interest of their favorite sons
are they that they will not combine to
assert their powers.
Despite Chairman Cannon's strict orders
to permit none but delegates and alternates
on the convention floor, the crowd which
gathered broke over the barrier of assistant
sergeants-at-arms and policemen. The hall
was soon packed with a surging mob, who,
though entitled to seats, had difficulty In
forcing their way to their chairs.
The shouters for rival candidates, who
had yelled themselves hoarse the previous
day, had provided themselves with new
devices for making a din and carried tin
horns, whistles and sirens with which to
keep up the enthusiasm of their delegates.
The Deneen people, who had been wanting
In banners the previous day, cam in with
hundred of small standard bearing the
name of their candidate.
Sixteenth Ballot Takea.
Th first order of business was the taking
of the sixteenth ballot. Amid great cheer
ing DeKalb county broke from Yatea. and
voted for Lowden.
It wa the first break of the convention,
fifteen votes going in a lump to Lowden.
Prior to the beginning of balloting Chair
man Cannon asked the frtepds of the can
didate to refrain from demonstrations,
saying that no one could reap any advan
tage from such action. He said:
Thank God, it has been demonstrated
in a two days' meeting that thla conven
tion is composed of 1,600 men who are
not anected Dy banners and hussaha.
The vote on the sixteenth ballot as of
ficially announced stood: . Yatea, 472;
Lowden, 428; Deneen, 881; Hamlin, 110;
Warner, 38; Sherman, 6H1; Pierce, 21.
The seventeenth ballot waa now ordered
and the, second break cam in Bureau
county, Which threw thirteen of it vote
to Pierce. DeKalb again shifted and re
turned, to Yates. He also gained on In
Dupage. Ford cast Its seven votes for
Deneen. Lowden gained one in Jackson
and Yates One in Madlaon. Wabash split
its three votes between Yates, Hamlin and
Warner and Hamlin gained one In Woodr
ford. y
The result of the seventeenth ballot was:
Yates, 484; Lowden, 407; Deneen, 879; Ham
lin, 109; Warner, &; Sherman, 61;
Pierce, 84.
On the eighteenth ballot Burke again
split its vote. Ford gave Warner one vote
and Hamlin gained two In Jackson.
Deneen gained one In Madison and Lowden
gained one in McHenry. Sherman loat one
in Pulaski, which went to Pierce. Union
split between Hamlin and Yates and Wash
ington cast its full vote for Hamlin. Wood
ford went solidly for Hamlin.
The change on the eighteenth ballot
were alight.
Th vote on th eighteenth ballot wa:
Tate, 483; Lowden, 412; Deneen, 37ft; Ham
lin, 118; Warner, 84; Sherman, 60;
Pierce, It.

LET OUT SIX BISHOPS

meeting. It is to be assumed, however,
that the recommendation of the episcopacy
committee has been adopted by a large ma
jority. With regard to Bishop Fob it Is
the opinion of many delegates that he, too,
will be retired.
Are Never Snperanauated.
"The general conference officers," con
tinued Dr. Buckley, "are never superan
nuated. They are simply left out. If you
want to get rid of them vote for some
other man. Not so with persons who hold
a life ewtate. Therefore, when a bishop
reached a point where he Is too feeble the
wisdom and the best interests o fthe church
demand that he be retired.
"The circumstances no wapply, and if
you do not retire these bishops at this con
ference you will not retire them at any fu
ture conference and you will hav aged
men In all the center of church activity.
Having failed to lake action at thl tlm
you will at future conference fall back on
that plea of th weak and th lf-defen-slve
the tlm limit."
At this point Dr. Buckley was Interrupted
by Bishop Foes, .who rose from his seat on
the stage and asked whether the confer
ence would grant him permission to put a
question privately to Dr. Buckley. There
were cries from the floor of "Let it be
granted." Bishop Foss rose from hi chair
on the age and coming to the edge of the
platform whispered a moment with Dr.
Buckley, who replied that he would gladly
listen to the question If the conference was
willing! The white-haired blahop and Dr.
Buckley stood and whispered together while
the crowd watched In silence. -It was a
critical moment. Bishop Fos turned,
walked elowly back and resumed his seat.
Dr. Buckley turned and faced the audience.
Lean I Vote on Foss.;
"I feel," he said,, "that It I within the
bounds of propriety that I should state to
the conference the qustlon Bishop Fos
asked me and th aniwtr I gave lilm. He
asked me whether a legil vote on his re
tirement had been taken In the committee
after he had appeared before that body and
spoken In response to Its Invitation. I re
plied In the affirmative. After Bishop Foss
had departed from th committee a legal
vote was taken and by a majority of 107
members decided to continue his name "
Dr. Buckley's statement wus taken to
mean that the committee on episcopacy had
voted for the retirement of Bishop Foss.
When the ballots had been collected by
the tellers and put Into the hands of the
secretary Bishop McCabe declared the con
ference adjourned for the day. A majority
of the delegates, with their families and
friends, aocepted an Invitation to visit

WASHINGTON, May 14. William Ran
dolph Hearst will support the nominee, of
the Bt Louis domocratlo convention who
ever he may be. He today authorised the
Washington Post to make this statement
unequivocally. He ridiculed a story sent
from Albany that he and Mr. Bryan,. Ar
thur Brisbane, Weaver of Iowa and others
were planning a huge bolt and the forma
tion of a new party. He said ha had. been
making his fight for the nomination in the
name of progressive democracy, but Ahl
fight had been within party lines and woUd
continue to be so. Whatever the result,
he Intended personally and through- , his
newspapers to support the regular ticket.
"I am. for the St. Louis nominee,", said
Mr. Hearst to th Post, Having uttered
that plain spoken sentence, he added, with
a smile: "I should, of course, like any -other
man, be honored and gratified should ''the
demoorats see fit to nominate me. 'BBt I
do not hav to be bribed . by offers to
be a democrat." I have aupporudi rtlte
democratic ticket in the last five campaigns.
I supported Cleveland three time and
Bryan twice. I intend to support the nom
inee of the party at St: Louis, whoever ho
may be." The Interview wa prompted by
th Albany dispatch, which aald that' Mr. ,
Hearst, Mr, Arthur Brisbane,- Mr. Bryan
and a few -others wer preparing to bolt.''
"I have not been able," tie ash. 'ta Aony
all th foolish-things that hav been fvi.l
about me, I hav not evenYkeptottifwlth
all that &a been aM but of-etl tfie-fool
things that is 'fooler' -t ban all the rast. '
and Mr. Hearst Indulged In a hearty -laugh
at the new adjective he had co4ned.i- -
I have been making my fight f op the- nom
ination in the name of progressive- democracy.1-
he aald. "I have been making thy
fight within party lines.
An Inquiry wss made about the sig
nificance of the several contesting Hearst
delegations over th country. ' '
Stands for Loyal Deaioara.' '
"Every state convention of both parties
has contesting delegations," Mr. Hearst
said, "Contests do not mean . that bolts
will follow. Bora of my friends hav6 In
stituted contests for delegate. In ceftala
cases contests hav been alerted by1 my
friends, In entire sincerity on their psrt,
which I would not have sanctioned' had
the matter come to my knowledge in time.
But these contests can be settled in' ' the
usual way, as they are settled In 1 every
national convention. Please make it plain
that I stand by the verdict of loyal demo
crats, men who-have been royal td'- th
party. I am for men who have" been Dem
ocrat consistently for twenty years." "
'But suppose the , case you su.vrsst' as
disloyal should be In control at St.' IxJuls?"
"I. think there Is no danger of that. It
Is safe to trust the democratic masses',"
was the answer. ' '' .'
"But they would be the people who sent
these men to the convention in a ma
jority."
To which remarks he assented.
Nevertheless he expressed the belief that
loyal democrat would be In control at
St Louis and reiterated hi Intention to
f upport the nominee of that - convention.
In fact, hi utterances wer vo direct and
emphatic on that point that no room was
left to doubt Mr. - Hearst a loyalty una
hi Intention to- prosecut hi campaign
for the nomination within the party line
and not only to abide by the result, what
ever It might be, but to work for ' Us
ticket nominated. ' ..
