CHICAGO, June 23.-A special to the Daily News from Che Foo says: Reconnalsaiice In force of the approaches 1.0 Port Arthur was made yesterday by a Japanese flotilla of three destroyers and four torpedo boats, Which ran In from the east about noon and cruised along the whole bluff, coming out past Laothleshan promontory. As the flotilla steamed along it was heavily en gaged with the forts, but apparently suf fered no damage, although a signal mast Of one Of the torpedo boats was knocked out of shape aa If struck by a shell. The operation was backed at some dis tance by two cruisers, one of which ap peared to be the Yakuma, while aa auxil iary crulaer, an old Ban Francisco liner, the Nippon, or a sister ship, acted as sea escort, in the rear. Shortly afterward heavy firing began on the land side, lasting Intermittently until dark. , ; , Kspeet Greatv. Battle. ST. PETERSBURG, June 23. The ex pectation of a great battle has been in tensified by General Kouropatkln's speech to GeneraLStakelberg's corps on Monday at Kin Chou, when the commander In chief said he would see the troops again soon; that they . must settle the ' Japanese promptly and that they were not going home until this had been done., The gen eral is understood to have meant that he would return from Llao Yang with a large , force and give battle. It Is pointed out that be can afford to leave a compara tively small garrison at Llao Yang In View of the absence of any direct advance from Feng Wang Cheng and the concen tration of the Japanese ' forces south. , In the opinion of many conservative military men Kouropatkln's massing of troops at Kin Chou does not necessarily Indicate his intentions to give ' battle, but merely to check the Japanese advance and defer the occupation cf New Chwang, the possession of which would be of great ad vantage to the Japanese during the rainy season, affording the enemy housing ac commodations and enabling them to land supplies and liartass the Russians. . . The.owupeUpn.of JStwo Xo Shan by a Japanese detachment indicates that the connection between the enemy's armies is practically assured.' Slung Yo Shan Is half way, between General Oku'a and General Kuroki's positions, at Benuchen and Siu Yen respectively. In the opinion of the general staff 'the Slung Yo Shan detach ment Is an' outpost of the Siu Yen army or of another force, recently landed at Cblng Tat Tsxe. The roads from Siu Yen and Chlng Tai Tsze pass Slung Yo Shan, whence they proceed respectively to 8e huchen and Kin -Chou. The Information ad the War o files accounts for the position tt twelve Japanese divisions. , The where tftouts cf two others is unknown. These are the Sixth and Seventh, which probably were the last to arrive, as they came from Hakodate. One or both may have Just landed, furnishing a link between the arm Irs of Kuroki and Oku, According to the latest reports Oku's main army Is still several miles south of Benuchen. AYS TUB JAPANESE.

Emperor Nicholas has received the following dis patch from General Kouropatkln under date of June 21: A Japanese army from Kal Chau la grad ually advancing northward. General Kuroki's advance from Siu Yen has been Suspended, evidently to effect an alignment of the two armies. . The strength of the enemy's vanguard Is approximately a division and several squadrons of cavalry and the Siu Yen force of nine squadrons supported by a strong column of Infantry toward the south. The ' enemy's position on June It and June -I extended seven miles southward to Semu chen, along a- line from the sea to the mountainous and difficult district east of the railway. The enemy's advance lines are being Strongly held by cavalry and a screen of infantry. The passes and denies In the mountains east of the railway are r.lso vigilantly guarded. An Increase In the Japanese forces has been noticed south of Vanflapudse and near the villages of Man eeaputlse, Taksiapudse and Khakahol.

PARIS, June 23,-The Foreign office has received a dispatch from M. De Pres. the French minister at Port Au Prince, Haytl, saying that while he and the German min ister were driving past the palace yester day they were attacked and stoned by soldiers forming the palace guard. M. De Pres was struck on tho leg by a stone and was slightly Injured. The ministers' wives, who were in another carriage following, were also pelted. The wife of the French minister Is an American. As Foreign Minister Delcasse has only Just received the dispatch he has not yet determined what steps shall be taken, but It Is believed France will make an energetic demand for redress. A French warship la near the scene and another Is at the French naval headquarters In the West Indies. It Is expected that Germany will make a similar demsnd for redress. PORT AU PRINCE, Haytl, June 23 The attack on the French minister here, M. de Pres. who was struck by a stone yesterday thrown by one of the guards on duty at the palace, was the outcome of the feeling among the population and the government against foreigners, the natives desiring to hold them responsible for the wretched flananclal situation of Haytl. The proceed ings against the French and German offi cials of the national bank charged with participation In the Issue of $200,000 In fraudulent securities early in 1903, have not been ended. Some of the officials are still in prison and others have sought safety In flight. Persons prominently connected with the national bank have been protesting against the long detention In prison of the officials who are under charges. WASHINGTON, June 23. Confirmation of the reported sttack on the French and German ministers in Haytl came to the State department today In the shape of the following cablegram from Minister Powell at Port Au Prince, dated June 23: French and German ministers with their women, while passing the palace in their carriages yesterday, were stoned by the palace guards. French minister slightly injured. Apology demanded, but none given. Both have cabled their govern ments. The most serious feature of the affair la that the attack was made, not by an Irresponsible mob, but by the palace guard, which directly connects the Haytien gov ernment with the occurrence. It is under stood to be the, outgrowth of the Haytien bank trouble, which involved the Incarcera tion by the Haytien government of certain foreign officers of the bank on a charge of misapplication of funds and rubsequent intervention by the French and German governments In behalf of their citizens. More than a month ago the State depart ment was forewarned of this approaching trouble by its 'agents In Haytl and has been watching the little republic closely, keeping a naval force near at hand. The Detroit, which went from Doraonlcan waters to participate in the Nova Kcotla celebration, will return to Ban . Domingo as it Is proposed by the Navy department to keep three vessels In close proximity to Haytl and San Dom'ngo.

After he was seen to enter the mansion Mr. Loeb admitted that he "thought" he was there. He was there all right for three hours, but whether Mor ton is to accept a cabinet portfolio is a question -which apparently cannot be defi nitely stated. The president, so far as can be learned, would like to secure Mr. Mor ton's consent to accept the secretaryship of the Department of Commerce and La bor, give the-navy portfolio to Representa tive Metealf of California and transfer Secretary Moody from the navy to the De partment of Justice.

The selection has been decided on and was made on account of President Roosevelt's knowledge of Mr. Morton's capacity and . his belief that he Is the man, best fitted for the position. In no sense will politics enter Into It The president and Mr. Morton have . been well acquainted for years.. They have known each other in the west, and when ever ho has been In Washington Mr. Mor ton has been a welcome caller at the White House. Out of this acquaintance has the president formed his high estimate of Mr. Morton's executive ability and per sonal cha'racter. Mr. Morton is a- son of the late J.

A picture on a vast canvas, full of color, full of detail, and with splendid atmos pheric effects, waa that which thousands of Interested spectators saw today In Chi cago's magnificent Coliseum, where Theo dore Roosevelt and Charles Fairbanks were made the republican party's candidates for president and vice president. Where apathy and disinterestedness seemed to exist and largely did exist, dur ing the early days of this thirteenth quad rennial convention of the republican party today brought a marvelous change. There was electricity In the air and It permeated every soul in the big building. It showed Itself in the way Chairman Cannon rapped for order; it showed Itself in the way thousands split the atmosphere with a mighty voice; U showed Itself In Herculean efforts of men and women to pound their hands to a Jelly in pure Joy of the mag nificent occasion. The hour and the man had come. For twenty full minutes 10,000 people vied with each other seemingly for the purpose of seeing who could make the most noise, and the result under these con ditions could be nothing but memorable. As the first day. of this convention was. dull and tiresome, this last day takes Its place among the memorable days of the republican party's history. Miles Has His Say. One Incident of this day will stand out In the. memory of the Nebraska delegation, for It showed what a man could do If determined. This morning ' the Nebraska and Missouri delegations had a conference on the vice presidency. After reviewing the futility of placing in nomination the favorite sons from tbaee two states, Ne braska submitted a proposition to Missouri that If It would withhold the name of Wal biidge It would withhold the name of Mr. Webster, 'and this pact was entered into. Colorado' was not consulted, as the chair man of that delegation could not be found. Some concerted action must be agreed upon, and Missouri and Nebraska, realising the inevitable and not desiring to be the laughing stock of the country, decided to make no nominations. 1 But W. P. Miles sprung' a surprise on the convention that was audacious to say the least and he "carried oft the goods." When the motion was made to make Fair banks' nomination unanimous Mr. Miles waa on a chair with an objection unless he could second the nomination of Senator Fairbanks on JJehai of Nebraska's candi date, John Ia Webster. Chairman Cannon waa Inclined to waive Miles away, and Cannon, better than any other maa? in public life, knows how to put a man down. Miles doggedly hung to his proposition, and as he is a sturdily built fellow with bull dog tenacity showing ail over him. Cannon finally recognized Miles, who In less than a minute seconded Fairbanks' nomination. It was a daring thing to do. but Miles won. He was applauded by the delegations around about Nebraska Wis consin, Indiana, New York,' Colorado, Min nesota and Illinois. . Morrill Misses Meeting. There was still another Incident during the course of the day, but this latter did not occur In the convention. It happened to the new national committeeman, C H. Morrill, of Lincoln. R. B. Schneider, re tiring committeeman, had informed Mr. Morrill that there would be a meeting of the national committeemen immediately after the adjournment of the convention for the purpose of organisation. But when the committee met, Morrill was not to be found. The roll was called and Nebraskr failed to respond. The absence of one man, however, could not stop the business of the ' committee and In a Jiffy George B. Cortelyou waa elected chairman, Cornelius N. Bliss treasurer and Elmer Dover sec retary. The committee then adjourned to luncheon which had been prepared for them by the subcommittee and still Monlll was absent Mr. Schneider went in search of his successor and finally located him, bringing the Lincoln man Into the luncheon room Just aa the last course waa disap pearing. Morrill's chance to meet his col leagues in executive session had gone. Should conditions be the same as In the 1900 campaign Mr. Morrill will not meet his associates on the national committee until the fall of 1207, when the committee will meet In Washington to decide upon the time and place to hold the national re publican convention of U0B. x Mr. Morrill, It Is stated, was lunching by himself and had; no thought that "feed" had been provided for the national com mittee. Of course everybody Is full of re grets over the situation. Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota and Wy oming closed their headquarters practically thia morning and the work of dismantling the rooms began early. Nebraakaas Oe ta Fair. Several of the Nebraska delegation availed themselves of the free transporta tion and went to St Louis to see the fair. Iowa had a larger number to Bt. Louis than any of the western states, although South Dakota, not to be outdone In ac ceptance of the hospitality, also sent a goodly number of delegates and alternates to the Purchase exposition. Outgoing trains tonight carried hundreds of Nebraakans and Iowans to their homes, nearly all of the Omaha people leaving this evening, Including the chairman of the delegation, H. C. Brome, and his wife. The New York delegation today invited John Mi Thurston and C. B.

He chatted animatedly a few min utes with Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Carew and Mr. Loeb and then accompanied hla secre tary to the executive office. Outward Indications that Theodore Roosevelt was about to be chosen unani mously as the standard bearer of his party were absolutely lacking at the White Houee In the morning. The president appeared at his desk at the usual hour and began Immediately to transact routine executive business with Secretary Loeb. The im portant subjects - disposed of, he received several visitors, for whom engagements had been made. No members of the cabinet called during the early hours of the business day. The president was kept In close touch with the situation at Chicago through the press bulletins and private messages from the convention hall, which were received over a special wire at the White House. On his return to the executive offices after he had been informed of his nomina tion. President Roosevelt greeted cordially a number of newspaper men. He expressed his pleasure at receiving the warm con gratulations of those who,- in ' the per formance of their duties, are kept con stantly In touch with the president and his work.
