CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT
The Democratic Nalion.il Committee
was ar.sured lat night tha.it the J40.000 sub
scription pledged by St. Ijou'.s business men
for the expenses of the National Demo
cratic Committee which meets in the Coli
seum July 6 is now at the disposal of the
national body.
This fact was definitely stated at a din
ner tendered by Mayor Rolla Wells to the
members of the Subcommittee on Arrange
ments, which met at the Southern Hotel.
The statement mad by Mayor Wells
M enthusiastically received by the
guests, who were unanimous In praising
the efforts of St. Louis business men.
Chariest If. Huttlg, chairman of the Fi
nance Committee of the Business Men's
League, which secured the guarantee fund
of $(0,000. announced to the National Com
mittee that the fund had been subscribed
and that It coula be drawn upon by the
National Committee nt their pleasure for
the expense of the convention.
Mr. Huttlg said:
"We have In hand now more than half
of the total amount subscribed In cash.
About SM.OOO is now at the disposal of the
National Committee when they please to
draw from It. The whole amount of JM.Ono
has been subscribed and the call for the
IKiyment of the subscriptions has been
made so that the treasurer Is receiving
cheeks daily from the subscriber.
"The total amount will be. in the hands
of the treasurer in cash by the close of
this month. The subscription represents
more than 1,000 business houses, represent
ing every commercial interest of the city
and the contributions range from $10 to
11.01. The tickets which have been voted
by the Xntlonal Committee to the local
committee will go to the subscribers to
this fund, but it is worth saying that the
subscription was secured from the busi
ness men beforo a simile ticket had been
promised to the local committee by the
National Committee, and the subscrip
tions were obtained without a single
promise being made to the subscribers re
garding tickets.
"The contributors made their subscrip
tions to the fund solely because they be
lieved that the National Convention was
a suest of St. Louis and should be for
the sake of the city's reputation, ade
quately provided for and entertained."
TO SELECT OFFICERS
AT JUNE MEETING.
The sessions of the subcommittee of the
national body yestetday were mainly oc
cupied with a discussion of plans for the
convention. The appointment of commit
tees on pres, tickets and minor matters
was deferred until to-day.
It w.ta announced that the committee
would in no way consider the selection of
temporary cfllcers of the convention until
the June meeting.
The members of the committee who are
present are James K. Jones of Arkansas,
former I'nlted Stales Senator and chair
man of the Nation ll Democratic Commit
tee: Senator W. J. Stone of Missouri, Gov
ernor John E. Osborn of Wyoming. J. M.
Head of Tennessee. J. M. Guffey of Penn
sylvania. J. G. Johnson of Kansas. C. A.
Walsh of Iona, secretary of the National
Committee, and Norman E. Mack of New
York. John R. McLean of Ohio was the only
member of the subcommittee who failed
i to attend the sessions. Thomas T. Tag-
' gart or Indiana was nt the Southern and
pent considerable time in the committee-
poms.
Mr. Taggart has been referred to as a
-obable candidate for chairman nf the
ational Convention. He said last night
nat he was not seeking the honor, and
fhut he had never authorized the .use of
liie name In that connection. Ho admitted,
however, that the position was an at-
active one, and did not deny that he

would accept it if he were chosen by the
raitr.
COLISEUM ARRANGEMENTS
PLEASB COMMITTEEMEN.
After an executive session of an hour
and a half in the forenoon, the subcom
mittee visited the Coliseum hall in com
pany with John Schroers, who outlined
the seating' capacity.
According to Mr. Schroers. there are
9,(S2 available seats in the convention hail.
It is the intention of the committee to
reserve ZCW oats for the delegates. Elab
orate plans for taking care of visitors are
being considered.
Five hundred and seventy-four admis
sion tickets will be issued to representa
tives of the press. Newspaper men not
actively engaged in reporting the con
vention will not be admitted to the press
stand.
It was learned last night that Con
gressman Gilbert S. Hitchcock of Omaha
probably would be chosen to superintend
the distiibutlon of press tickets.
The visit of inspection to the conven
tion hall was thoroughly satisfactory.
Several suggestions were made regarding
the ventilating facilities and matters of
minor Importance. Mr. Johnson of Kan
sas tested the acoustic properties of the
hall by speaking from different points In
the auditorium. The members of the
committee were pleased with the test.
Senator Jones suggested that some ar
rangement be made for carrying the foul
air from the galleries. It was decided to
equip the galleries with large exhaust
fans.
One Interesting feature which will be
provided is a complete telephone s,stpm
connecting the headquarters of the chair
men of the different State delegations.
The telephones will alo connect with the
press stand.
Tills system, it is thought, will mini
mize the confusion by disposing of the
ushers.
SENTIMENT FOR PARKER
IS APPARENTLY STRONG.
It is said tli.n the business of the com
mittee will likely be completed to-day
and the subcommittee will adjourn to
meet May 23.
A strong Parker sentiment apparently
prevailed at the meeting. Several mem
bers of the committee openly declared for
Judge Parker as the presidential candi
date, and urged his nomination.
Thomas T. Taggart of Indiana was par
ticularly emphatic in his talk concerning
Judge Parker's candidacy. Mr. Taggart
said:
"Indiana will declare for Judge Parker.
Of ourse, there is considerable Hearst
sentiment throughout the State, but the
most Influential leaders of the party favor
the New York Jurist. We want a man
who commands not only the vote of the
Wet and South but the vote of the East
as well.
"Above all, we must have a conserva
tive candidate. The Democracy must put
aside the fiee-silver issue."
.Norman K. Mack of Uuffalo, editor of
the Times, said:
"Judge Parker is a safe candidate ind
I believe is the most logical one. He has
been prominent In the Democratic ranks
for many years, and has alvvajs been a
Democrat throughout."
Mr. Head of Tennessee and Mr. Osborne
of Wyoming both said they considered
Parker the strongest candidate.
Former Senator Jones said he would not
disciiFs the candidates at present, but ad
mitted that Parker is making a strong
race.
Charles A. Walsh of Iowa and Mr. John
son of Kansas are for Hearst.

republic special
Chicago, April 4. The taking of testi
mony In the Missouri-Illinois Canal suit
has been completed. Attorney James
Todd, who repiesents the Sanitary Dis
trict of Chicago in the case, to-day re
turned from Philadelphia, where the last
of the testimony in the famous case,
which has been on hearing since Febru
ary. ISOt. was taken.
John W. Hill of ihe Philadelphia Fil
tering plant and Professor Williams S.
Thayer of the Johns Hopkins University
were the last witnesses to be examined.
The testimony of both added materially
to tlio defense, according to Attorney
Todd. Ten thousand pages of typewritten
testimony were taken by Commissioner
Bright in the case, anel several hundred
witnesses were examined. As soon as the
testimony can be put in print it will be
submitted to the Supreme Court, by
which Commissioner Rriglit was ap
pointed. Attorney Todd says that beyond a
doubt the case will result favorably to
Illinois.
"OVLIJCOMES ST. LOUIS CLAIMS "
"I have carefully covered every point
made by St. Louis in asking to have the
dialn.ige canal closed on the grounds that
It is a nuisance," said Attorney To-ld.
"I have shown by witnesses that the
drainage canal, not only does no harm m
the sanitaiy conditions at St. I.OUK but
improves its water supply. There Is less
tvphoid fever in St. lxiuls slree the open
ing of the bis waterway tli.ni there was
before.
"The allegation that tjphuid fever
germs are caniid from Chicago in s-ew-age
to St. Louis, has been shattered com
pletely by expert witnesses.
"Profcs-ors making experiments for
Illinois have made the important dl
coveiy that the water of the draimge
canal contains ratur.il elements which
c:iiit sudden death to inal.iri.il organ
isms, instead of enabling the deadly
germs to sustain life The icsult of the
discovery will go down m b icteriological
history as one of the most important
events that has happened in many years."'

wounded this morning by L. T. Russell,
formerly editor of the Dally Democrat.
Hawkins was removed to the home of

Russell has been placed In jail.
The County Democrat In Convention drew
large crowds, and In the midst of a warm
political discussion the men met. It is
stated that Hawkins pushed Russell from

In the meantime Hawkins drew his pis

one in the kne and one in the abdomen.
Russell was uninjured.
The shooting was the result of a grudge
of long standing between the men. Haw

against Russell, charging libel by reason
of an editorial In the State Democrat.
The suit was lost by Hawkins, and since
then bitter enmity has eited between

PROTESTS AGAINST IDEA
OF KANSAS GIRL SHOW.
Mntron Sajn That So Mother Wants

for the Vulgar Public's l.nrr.
nKrrw.ic special.
Topeka, Ka. April I. The mothers of
girls who live in this section of Kansas
do not look with favor upon the proposal
to have a beauty show of Kansas girls at
the World's Fair.
Mrs. Harding, wife of J. T Harding, of
Kansas City. Kas.. has written a letter
as follows to a woman's reading club
of this city:
"I am sure the Commissioners have not
given the idea full consideration. There
is more than one side to it. Of course It
would be refreshing for visitors to be re
ceived In the Kansas building by a com
pany u" bright and attractive girls, such
as Kansas could end thtre. nr.il certainly
they would lie a great help to the matron.
That is the side of It the Commissioners
look upon, but there i another side.
"What mother want" her innocent and
pure-minded daughter to be made a how
of for the gaze of the vulgar public? All
the world will be at the World's Fair
and our Kansas girls are not for the In
spection of all the world. It Is all right
to have a fine stock show from Kansas,
but not a beauty show of our girls.
"And there is still another side and that
Is that many would be called and few
chosen. This would leave in the hearts
of the many left behind resentment, envy
and jealousy. No. we don't want to ad
vertise Kansas that way. but if a show
Is decided upon let us send all our girls.
It would come high, of course, but better
that than an invidious selection of a few."

St. Petersburg, April I. (Cop) right. 1904.)
In military circles here the opinion pre
vails that with General Kuropatkin so
near the bonier there will be but small
delay, and active measures may com;
mence any time after April 15.
As the time approaches for the opening
of land operations on a large scale, the
Russian authorities are exercising greater
vigilance to prevent the new of their
exact plans for the movement to and the
disposition of troops in the theater of war
from going abroad, where it might be of
service to the eemy.
For tcnlays not a scrap of information,
except such as has been contained In
official dispatches, has been given out.
There practically eilsts aiv embargo up
on news dispatches, those coming through
being colorless and devoid of importance.
SECRKTS WELL KEPT.
Secrets regarding what Is actually hap
pening are well kept It Is as if an im
penetrable curtain had suddenly been runs
down on the stage of the war In East
Asia.
Behind tills curtain the greatest activity
prevails. General Kuropatkin, at his
temporary headquarters in Llao-1'ang. Is
directing the execution of his plans, mov
ing the troip.s, strengthening the positions,
oiling the wheels of the commissariat ami
Quartermosteis Department, perfecting
the hospital service and otherwise looking
after the organization and innumerable
wants of the army in the field.
When the prologue Is over and the real
(ltt.ma open, the curtain which snuts out
the view of the spectators will rise and
not beforo.
General Kuropatkin's plan of campaign
Is In the keeping of tho-e who will betray
nothing. Only the barest outlines are
known and the rest is pure guesswork.
FLANKING MOVEMENTS.
The Russians count on a Japanese flank
ing movement In connection with a fron
tal attack, and therefore a Russian force
has been disposed along the Tumen to
prevent the entrance of a Japanese column
thero.
Another flanking movement is expected
at the head of the Llao-Tiing Gulf near
Niuchwnng, and everything there 1 being
prepared to receive the enemy, but for the
present the Russian military authorities
believe that the Japanese ;nme at this
point has been blocked by the failure of
the attempts! to bottle up and render Im
mobile the flet of Vice Admiral Maka
roff, which, while free, will be too great a
menace to the movement of Japanese
transports into the Gulf of Pe-Chl-IJ.
TO SURPRISE JAPS.
Another effort to Mock Port Arthur Is
consequently expected dally. One of the
rrincinal reasons for Viceroy Alexleffs
visit to Port Arthur, In nddition to In
specting the ships and defenses. It Is un
derstood, was for the purpose of consult
ing Vice Admiral Makaroff with a view to
devising plans for defeating those attacks,
and to this end all additional possible pre
cautions have lecn taken. Indeed, it is
hinted In bleb quarters that the next time
the Japanese appear off Port Arthur they
will And a surprise nwaitins them.

DECISION CONSIDERED FINAL
"Would Rather Be Actively En

Hold the Office of
Governor."
REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Jefferson City. Mo.. April 4. What ap
pears to be the final decision of Attorney
General E. C. Crow not to enter the race
for nomination for Governor was made
public to-day in a statement by Assistant
Attorney General Sam B. Jeffries.
A strong effort has been made to get
Mr. Crow to enter the race and It is
thought that his recent Illness Is about
all that kept him from announcing. On
his return from California it Is believed
that he found many of his friends aligned
with either the Reed or Folk forces, and
concluded to stay out of it. s
The statement given out by Mr. Jeffries,
and which bears the marks of being a for
mal announcement, is as follows:
"I feel assured General Crow will not
become a candidate for Governor. He ap
preciates the many urgent requests that
have been made upon him by his many
loyal Democratic friends from vnrious
parts of the State to make the race, and,
as he has repeatedly stated. Is thankful
to the party for past honors and will
gladly render whatever assistance lie can
toward the advancement of the party's
Interest In' th State.
"General Crow, having chosen the law
as a profession, has devoted his life to
work of that character, and Is not now
Inclined to place himself In a position
where he would be taken from the court
room. Ho has repeatedly stateil that he
much preferred to be actively engaged In
legal work than to hold the office of Gov
ernor." JAPS HAVE 260,000 MEN
IN MOTION, BUT THEIR
MOVEMENTS ARE SECRET.
Shanghai. April 4. A letter received
here from Kobe. Japan, says the Japanese
Government has MO.OdO troops in motion
and fully 60,000 more under arms In garri
sons and a.t the depots.
These numbers are exclusive of the
Third Reserves, numbering 120,000, which
have not been called to the colors.
The exact numbers of troops which have
left Japan for their various destinations
ore not known. But the entire First Army
has been landed and has established
Itself In Northwestern Korea, with Its
main base at Chinampho. The Japanese
General Staff still carefully guards the
plan of campaign, but It Is generally- be
lieved that It will operate three armies,
