spondent of the Associated Press who ha
Just returned from the headquarters of
General Count Keller's corps reports that
on Wednesday a Japanese . division ad
vanced by a tortuous defile about thirty
miles east of Llao Tang. ' General Keller
had no artillery posted, but had stationed
three battalions of Infantry along a crest
commanding the pass. An obstinate fight
followed and lasted the whole night. The
Russians lost fifty men and the Japanese
casualties were larger.
On Thursday morning General Keller re
tired successfully, withdrawing ..-his) men
from the narrow defiles. Almost complete
change of plans was displayed by the Japa
nese on Friday in retiring upon Hoi Chan.
General Keller In the meantime had been
reinforced by artillery and He harassed the
Japanese rear. Owing to the heavy rains
the movement of the guns and trans
port wagons were exceedingly difficult.
It Is believed that the Japanese lost an
opportunity of attacking Llao Tang or cut

The rains render it Imperative to suspend
operations.

HILL OUT FOR PARKER AND SOUND MONEY
Sheehaa, Hill anal Marphr Are the
LeadlnsT Committees Oorman
Cockrell I.oomtaar Ip la
tke Coaveatlosi.
BT. LOUIS, July 1 "No compromise with
th radical' silver element,' no half-way
plank In the platform In an attempt to pla
cate the radicals, but a straight-forward
declaration for sound money." That la' the
statement that the democratic leaders from
New Tork, those who control the majority,
and therefore the -whole delegation under
the unit rule, landed within Bt Louis to
night. '
Former United States 8enator David B.
Hill will represent that state In the com
mittee on resolutions and will present tho
sound money plank. When It la adopted,
at he thoroughly believes it will be, In the
New Tork leader's estimation, sound the
tocsin for the nomination of Judge Alton
B. Parker. Senator Hill, former United
States Senator Edward Murphy, State
Senator Patrick H. McCarren, William F.
Sheehan, Jacob A. Cantor, Eugene D.
Woods, Eliot Danforth, P. H. McCabe ahd
other leaders, arrived here this evening.
En route they had decided these things
and their decision means adoption by the
New York state delegation on Tuesday,
despite Tammany opposition, because Mr,
Hill and those already here with him con
trol by two-thlrda. '
The committee arrangement is: Former
United States Senator Hill on the commit
tee on resolutions, former Lieutenant Gov
ernor William P. Sheehan on the committee
on credentials and former United States
Senator Edward Murphy to cast the seventy-eight
votes of New Tork state for
Alton B. Parker and a sound money plank.
Norman E. Mack was elected national com.
miCteeman.
Hill Beltevea la Parker.
No decision was reached on the question
of a tariff declaration. ' Senator Hill be
lieves that the plank should be tariff for
revenue only, but he fails to get equally
as ardent representatives of Judge Parker,
as for. Instance, William F. Sheehan and
Jacob A. Santor, to agree with him. They
contend that the plank should be as nearly
like the republican plank as can consist
ently be. The smaller manufacturers
throughout the country will -vote against
any platform not containing a promise of
protection for them.
Senator Hill, while not desiring to talk
for publication tonight, has during the day
expressed the belief that Judge Parker will
be chosen on the second ballot and prob
ably on the first. There Is a growing belief
among those of the party arriving today
that the Tammany delegates, appreciating
the strength of Mr. Parker and having no
argument to present against his fitness, will
refrain from opposing him. It Is Insinuated
by some of the party that harmony may
be accomplished by promising the nomina
tion for governor of New York state to
Leader Murphy of Tammany for Mayor
McClcllan or some other person of his
choosing. v
Will Try to Pacify Tammaar.
One of the significant movements of the
New Tork state delegation la the promise
to let Norman E. Mack succeed himself as
national committeeman, while advocating a
sound money plank. Mr Mack was a
staunch Bryan man arid a ailverlte In two
campaigns.. . His - selection If. believed to
mean that there is little or ho fear In New
York -state that the radical element can do
any harm to a conservative leader, and fur
ther that the original Bryan supporters are
ready to follow New York's nominee.
New Tork is taking great precautions
against any tampering with the temporary
roll of the convention. Mr. Sheehan to
night transferred to National Committee
man Mack four proxies of members of, the
committee who cannot be present on Mon
day. Believes In Cockrell.
For the first time since the delegates to
the approaching democratic ' convention
began to collect in this city.a movement
looking to united action on the part of the
anti-Parker forces was Inaugurated today,
and Senator Stone, chairman of the Mis
souri delegation, stood sponsor1 for it He
appears ae the champion of his colleague,
Senator Cockrell, and was in ' conference
several times during the day with leaders
of "what is known as the Bryan element
and with representatives of Mr. Hearat,
Senator Gorman and other possible candi
dates. No details 'of these meetings were ob
tainable, and Senator Stone refused to dis
cuss them.
He talked freely, however, of the neces
sity of united action, saying among other
things:
It is evident that Mr. Parker will enter
the convention with the votes of a ma
jority of the thousand delegates, and any
reasonable man should be able to see that
If there Is not an understanding among
the opposing delegations he is likely to
secure the two-thirds vot "necessary to
nominate as soon aa his strength is made
manifest. I do not believe that two-thirds
of t.ha Jwegates are naturally favorable
to Mr. Parker, and, so believing, I think
his defeat can be accomplished.
In that event I think that Senator
Cockrell's availability will become eo evi
dent aa to cause the convention to take
him up and give him the nomination.
Gormaa la the liana.
An effot was set on foot during the day
to secure the . attendance of Senator Gor
man at the convention. Notwithstanding
he is a delegate he had decided to remain
away unless his presence should be con
sidered especially desirable, and he deter
mined. to be governor by the advice of ex
Senator Davis of West Virginia on this
point
Mr. Davis was In conference today with
ex-Senator Jones of Arkansas, Senator
Stone of Missouri, Hon. John T. McGraw
of West Virginia and others, and they rec
ommended that Mr. Davis advise Mr. Gor
man to come immediately to this city. The
message was accordingly sent, and it to be
lieved that he will respond favorably. .
The reason given for wishing. Gorman's
presence ia the desire to have his counsel
In unraveling the tangled skein of political
thread which the leaders find to exist, and
this Is sufficient cause. Still It is impossi
ble to disguise the fact that there is a con
slderable element In the convention which
holds the opinion that the Maryland leader
is the most desirable man to head the
ticket. They hope that, the psychological
moment for his , nomination may arrive,
and they believe that at such a time his
presence would be of great advantage.
Frlead of Hearst Meatlonee.
Four possible candidates for the position
of permanent chairman of the democratlo
convention are mentioned tonight.
They are Delegate Barkworth of Michi
gan, Hon. Patrick Collins of Massachu
setts, Hon. David 8. Rose of Wisconsin and
Hon. Champ Clark of Missouri.
The friends of Mr. Hearst sprang Mr.
Clark's name at a conference held late to
day, and their avowed reason for taking
him up was to prevent the selection of a
presiding officer friendly to -Judge Parker.
"The Indiana delegation will put up a
winning fight for Thomas Taggart for na
tional chairman," said Major O. V. Men
slee, delegate-at-large from that state, to
night
"Mr. TaggarTf selection' in tW'Wlse' de
pends opott the nomination of Judge Parker.
Mr. Targart will be chairman, no matter
what the result of the convention ballot
ing may be. We have assurances of sup
port from many other states and I am con
fident of Mr. Taggart'a success."
Mr. Taggart refused tq discuss the chair
manship. He declared Ms belief that Judge
Parker will be nominated. "He would be
chosen on the first ballot if It were not for
the "favorite sons," he said, "and as It
stands tonight he wilt .certainly win on the
second ballot." ...
Active Parker Mas.
One of the moat active Parker men in the
city is Thomas A. Taggart of Indiana, and
he Is In constant communication with the
new arrivals, especially those who are
under Instructions for other candidates.
Mayor David A. Booe and T. E. Ryan, of
Wisconsin were among the arrivals today.
They are Under Instructions for E. C. Wall
of their own state and declared that, hav
ing a "favorite son," they would express no
opinion as to the second choice of the dele
gation. "With a candidate ot our own,"
said Mr. Ryan, "It would not look very well
for us to be going around expreeslng an
opinion about a second choice."
From managers of, the Parker canvass,
however, Jt was learned that the Wis
consin delegation would go to Parker on
the second ballot. ,
A little light was shed upon the many
conferences that have taken place In the
east between democratlo leaders like Gor
man. Guffey, McLean, Smith and Murphy.
A delegate Who has been cognisant ot what
took place at these conferences snld today
that at .their' close one man participating
remarked; "Well, we are no nearer a con
clusion than when we first commenced to
talk."
In going over the situation they found
that even If they should enter Into a com
bination to defeat Parker, that they would
be no nearer results than before, and aovns
of them feared that the defeat of 'Parker
would afford an opportunity to nominate
Cleveland, and to this some of the men
In the conference Were opposed, while
others were somewhat favorable. It is be
lieved that Smith and Guffey are among
the men who would be willing to see Cleve
land nominated and that they would be
v tiling to throw New Jersey and Pennsyl
vania to. the ex-president
Ia Dark aa to Gorman.
While some Parker men are enthusiastic
enough to claim that their . man will be
nominated on the first ballot, the more ex
perienced politicians are of the opinion that
complimentary votes must first be . cast
for favorite sons before the necessary two
thirds can be obtained' for the New Torker.
It Is said that Gorman's candidacy can be
determined upon his movements. He Is at
the head of the Maryland delegation, and
If he comes to St Louis It will mean that
he Is not going to be a candidate. But if
he remains at-home It. will be assumed by
his friends here that he Is a candidate and
then every effort will be made to bring
about his nomination.
An important arrival today was Mr.
August Belmont, who, with several mem
bers of his family, came in on an early
train and took apartments at the Jefferson.
He in 'one .of - the active leaders of the
Parker movement. ' . ..
' The Hearst boom Was g)ven somewhat of
an impetus early today by the. arrival of
the California delegation, accompanied by
some of the members ' of fhe Nevada and
Arlsona delegations. "We are all for
Hearst until 'the finish," said ; Chairman
Tarpey of the California contingent. "We
will stay with him until the end; Ca'.lforn
lana have no second choice in this or in any
other matter." ' '.'!''
Another delegate, Mark Smith of Arizona,'
expressed the same sentiment, saying the
democrats of the western coast generally
prefer Mr. Hearst. He'1 did-riot, however,
believe that th western men in the con
vention would be averse to some other
man In case It should, become evident that
Mr. ' Hearst could not secure the necessary
two-thirds vote to nominate.
Members" of 'the three delegations' dls
oussed .freely . the possibilities with refer
ence to. platform, but were generally of
the opinion that there should be no refer
ence, either to the Chicago platform of
18M or the Kansaa City platform of 1900.
Talking; of tho Plat form.
"This," said one or them, "Is the year
1904, and we are dealing with this period
and no other. I believe that our people
prefer that all reference to past platforms
should be omitted." .
Senator Newlands of Nevada, who Is at
the bead of the delegation from that state,
says that the sentiment of the western
states generally Is against Parker, although
the delegates are not .opposed to him In
any hostile sense.. The Hearst delegations
from these western states appear to have
no second choice, although it is under
stood that some of them would prefer
Gorman to almost any other man. -
"I do not contend for a reaffirmation of
the Xansae City platform," said former
Senator Cannon, chairman of the Utah
delegation, who eight years ago in this
city walked out of the ttpubllcan conven
tion because of Its repudiation of bimetal
Ism. Continuing, he added: "I have not
changed my principles and a fa.'lure of the
democratlo party to specifically relndorse
any one plank of any one platform does
not' Indicate that the party has changed.
1 only say that we want a platform broad
enough for all democrats to stand upon,
and if ws get. that I shall be satisfied.
Idealist though I be, I do, not want any
mjre rainbow chasing. Of that we -have
had enough. We want a candidate who
can lead, and with such a candidate and a
platform dealing with the live questions of
the day we will have a chance to put some
of our doctrines Into laws, which Is more
Important than a century of abstract
theorliing"
: Mr. Cannon la a supporter of Senator Gor
man, but his delegation Is divided in
their presidential preferences.

the democratlo national committee, which
waa called tft meet at 10 o'clock today,
failed to secure a quorum and adjourned
until S o'clock p. m. In addition to Chair
man Jones there was only one member
present -
Judge Parker's friends are devoting them
selves amildaously to counteracting the ef
fort to create sentiment In favor of Mr.
Cleveland, and among the most outspoken
of them is National Committeeman Head
of Tennessee, who is also a member of
the delegation from his state. "It is not
true that Mr. Cleveland la more popular in
the south than formerly," he said, and re
peating a question as to why the southern
democrats are opposed to Cleveland, said:
"We oppose him because he disrupted and
destroyed the democratic party. He found
the organisation united and In less than
two years under' his management It was
torn into shreds. He had no strength In
the south and t believe that If nominated
he would render even Tennessee a doubtful
state."
Ex-Senatcr Allen of Nebraska waa about

said that he was merely an onlooker. "I
may be the only 'popllsf left." he said.
"but I shall stay with my party." He ex
pressed the opinion that Mr. Bryan would
certainly be in attendance at the St. Louis

speech will not be a marker compared with
what he will say."

GET CLUE TO CHAMBERLAIN
Han I'nder Arrest Who Has Some
Property Taken by Missing;
Cashier. - .
TECUMSEH, Neb., July 2. (Special Tele
gram.) The officers apprehended a man
here today who. does not deny having busi
ness dealings with Charles M. Chamberlain,
the absconding cashier ot the - defunct
Chamberlain bank of this city within two
months, and the officers are of the opinion
the man could shed some light upon the
whereabouts of Chamberlain if . he felt so
disposed. ' ,
At the time the bank failed and Chamber
lain skipped he tooH, among other papers,
a mortgage note upon the Ben Miller livery
barn of this city for 12,250, besides a large
amount of mill stock In the Tecumseh Mill
ing company of which he waa an officer.
The papers Were made out in the name of
C. M. Chamberlain and Chamberlain Bros.
The party in question came to Tecumseh
within a day or two and attempted to sell
the paper to Mr. Miller and the mill stock
to an' officer In the mill company. The'
courts have set the. milling stock in ques
tion taside and new stock is In tha hands of
the receiver, and the original Miller mart
gage has been declared void' and the :new
one la In the supreme court to decide own
ershlp.
The fact of the stranger's appearance be
came known to the officers and the sheriff
arrested - him at the depot this afternoon;
two minutes before - train time. In ' the
county court, where he wee held cpom a
search warrant, he gave Ms name as A. S.
Cody and said his home was at Midland,
Mich. When the papers were taken away
from him he was terribly agitated and en
deavored to destroy one, which' proved to
be a letter to Ma Wife, before the officer
could get It He had five shares of flOO
each of' the milling -etoek-and the Miller
note and claimed he wse an' mnocent pur
chaser and bought them from Chamberlain
In Alabama two months ago.' Besides these
papers he had a- letter In his pocket from
Charles M. Clark, from Havana, Cuba, and
It is known that Chamberlain has been in
Havana masquerading under the Clark
name within the last tit months. The let
ter waa concerning Clark's land In Mexico,
Identical land that It Is known Chamber-
lain owned. The court put Cody' under
12,000 bond and at a late hour tonight
vherlff Cummlngs had not as yet placed
him In Jail, but was guarding hlrn en the
street while he waited an answer to a' tele
grom to hie friends hr Midland for help.
During his examination in the court the
court room and corridors, of the court house
were, filled with an excited crowd of cltlien's
who had heard the word passed along the
street that a man had been placed under
arrest who had undoubtedly had aome
dealings with the one greatly sough after

FPRINOFIELD. IU.. . July a.-Former
Congressman Thomas A. Watson,' of
Georgia, who .waa. Bryan's, running, mate
on the peoples' party ticket in 1896, will not
have' the presidential nomination Hy tne
national convention-of the peoples', pari.
which convenes In this city next Wedm
day, offered him; aa a gift. In fact, there
seems to be good prospects of a lively con
test for first place on the ticket.
From members of the national committee
and other leading populists who have ar
rived for the ' convention It seems that
Former United States Senator William A.
Allen, of Nebraska, may prove a strong
candidate, though his state took no action
toward endorsing him. Others who are
spoken of as candidates for the nomination
are Samuel A. Williams, of Vincennes,
Ind who was endorsed by the alUed peo
ples' party, or middle-of-the-road faction
In the Indiana state convention, and 8j 8.
Pierson, of Parkersburg, W. Va., who waa
endorsed by the same faction of the party
in the West Virginia state convention. .
Vice Presidential ' Timber.
Among those .mentioned In connection
with the nomination for vice president are
tt. 11. Weller, of Nashua, Ia., endorsed by
the middle-of-the-road faction of the state,
the fualon wing having been assimilated
by the lemocratlc party, the leader of the
fusion wing, General James B. Weaver,
heading the democratic delegation to the
national convention; National Committee
man T. P. . Prlnder, Brie, Pa., George
Fred Williams, Massachusetts, though he
Is a democrat, K. Gary Brown, editor of
a abor paper at Brockton, Mass., and
John Brldenthal, of Kansas City, Kan.,
candidate of the peoples party of Kansas
for governor In lto6'.
Tha following national commltteerhan
have arrived here:I H. Weller, Iowa;
Hugo Preyer, Cleveland, O.J and Dr. It. H.
Reemelln, Cincinnati. The convention wilt
virtually have two presiding officers when
called together Monday. Hon. J. A. Ed
mlnston, of Nebraska, Will call the fusion
branch Of the convention to order If he Is
present, which Is doubtful. In case he is
not, J. A. Parker, of Louisville, Ky., chair
man of the national committee of the allied
peoples' party, or middle-of-the-roaders, as
they are familiarly known, will be presid
ing officer. Parker will be on the plat
form In either event
Will Celebrate the Foarlh.
The first day's session, after effecting
temporary organisation and the appoint
ment of committees, will evolve itself Into
a Fourth of July celebration wUh Former
United States Senator William V. Allen,
of Nebraska, and Rev. J. A. Nelson, prin
cipal speakers. There are, aa far as heard
from, no contests to be decided.
LOUISVILLE, July 2. The state conven
tion of the peoples' party called today for
the purpose of selecting delegates to the
national convention at Springfield was not
held,' but It was announced from the head
quarter of Joseph A. Parker, the state
committeeman, that tho men who will
represent Kentucky at th national gather
ing probably would be announced before
night without the formality of a conven
tion. According to Mr. Parker, the delegation
will be Instructed for Hon. Thomas E.
Watson, of Georgia, If he will accept, and
If not they will vote for Judge Williams,
of Indiana, Who is a candidate. The senti
ment of the populists here Is against fusion
with the democrats and they do not think
th St. Louis convention will nominate a
candidate who will be endorsed by the
peoples' party. It Is understood that Mr.
I Parker will b given second place on the
national populist ticket, no matter who
heads It.
