Hill and Charles K. llurphy buried the
hatchet to-day This Interment took place
to-day on the occasion of the visit of the
National Committeemen and Tammany
leaders at Rosemount. when Mr. Hill
walked up to Mr. Muiphy, at Judge Park
er's home and extended his hand.
A arm handshake followed and a pri
vate conference of ierhaps ten minute'.
When the conversation was Interrupted
by Senator Victor Don ling- and Aa B.
Gardiner, both the "?age of Wolfert's
Roost" and the wigwam chieftain were
smiling like two school children who had
made up after a quarrel
The committeemen reached Esopus at
half past I o'clock this afternoon. All of
the farmers In the vicinity of the town
seemed to hae been impresari with the
importance of the visit and flocked to the
railway stations with cany-all", spring
wagons and all manner of conveyances to
take the delegation to Roemount.
In the first carriage that reached Judge
Parker's home were Norman E. Mack,
Iavld B. Hill. Ptrry Belmont anil Thom
as Taggart. chairman of the new Demo
cratic Nation 1! Committee, who headed
the delegation. The carriage was followed
hy a long procession which -brought the
rest of the visitors.
When the delegation reached Rosemount
they found Judge Parker and Mr. .Murphy
at a conference out In the grove ssae
distance from the home Here the Tam
many chieftain and the presidential candi
date had conterred for more than two
houre.
It was while the committeemen were be
ing presented to Judge Parker and while
Mr. Murphv was standing alone over at
. . e,Jf. thejons Rosemount veranda
that Jfr. nitl'left the Motors and walked
over to Mr. Murphy, extending his hand
and .smiling profusely. Mr. Murphy
smiled. He tvemed unusually glad and
lowered his volcc
The most interening event of tne das
was the group picture or Judge Parker
Hill. Murphy. Taggart and W. Carrol LIv
of Buffalo, taken as the last of the Na
tional Committeemen were leaving The
"harmony picture." u was at once dubbed
and the quintet brought together by State
Senator Mahcr of Nebraska.
"Come on, Murph)." said Hill, "now is
the time to hate a family group picture."
Judge Parker, Hill and Chairman Tag
gait were already posed on the piazza
.es. come on. Mr. Murphy." said Judge
I arker. and the Tammany chieftain joined
the group, taking up a position along side
fcfnator Hill. w.'hen lt df, aII over JIr
Murphy Said, so that all of the committee
men could hear him:
.l""?"";.1 s"ppose x can get anything t
want after that." '
Mr. Murphy appeared to be well pleased
with the result of his visit. He made lt
Plain to Judge Parker that s-n.i, o...
.J-Iek H. McCarren must not be elected
chairman of the State Executive Commit
tee, mat ne would not stand for the use
'f the State machine as an instrument
of political veneance against the body of
which he Is the -head and made It clear
that his management of the campaign in
the city must not lie Interfered with by
those outside of the Tammany organiza
tion. The subject of a candidate for Governor
was al, touched upon. Judge Parker
expressed admiration ror Major McClel
Un. Mr. Murphy, while claiming the right
to have a voice In this nomination, sold
he was not committed to McClellan and
that It was too far in advance of the
convention to settle upon a candidate
Just beforeleparting from Esopus Mr.
Murphy mada t:,e following statement:
"1 am here in connection with other
Democrats throughout the country to as
sist in promoting Democratic harmony
and success. Everything tliat has oc
curred here to-day has impiesred me with
the fact that there is nothing to pievent
all Democrats uniting and making a suc
cessful canvass in State and nation. New
iork City will roll up the biggest Demo
cratic majority lr. Its history."
Murphy's sentiments greatly. editied the
members of the National Committee, and
n taking leave of Judge Parker this even
ing unanimously expressed the conviction
that New York is safely Democratic.
The visiting Dcmoerailc leaders left Eo
pus bubbling over with praise for the per

charged with being the Rutler candidate,
was to-night nominated on the Ilrst bal
lot for Governor by the Republican State
Convention. As a member of the State
Board of Equalization. If he is elected,
he would pass on the assessments of the
Bell Telephone Company.
Not a word was said In any of th nom
inating speeches regarding his business
affiliation.", or the charges that were made
by Clinton A Welch in his letter to State
Chairman Akln, in wt.th he said an alli
ance had been made with the criminal ele
ment of St. l.oui Democrats, to beat Folk
for Governor. Every man lauding Wal
bridge put his availability on the ground
that he could get the votes- hi St. Louis.
To-night the friends who nominated
Walbridge are working on him to get him
to state his preference for State chairman.
While It is thought that he cares very lit
tle for the chairmanship light, the men
who are back of him make no s-ecret of
their chief and abiding Interest in this
feature of the convention.
An adjournment wa taken to-night until
10 o'clock to-morrow moniing. It was
done Immediately after Walbridge was
nominated, and was for the puipose of
drafting candidates for minor otllces. Sen
ator McKInley has been offered the. nom
ination for Lieutenant Governor, but said
that he could not take It, as he has bten
denying that he would have it for six
months
Undoubtedly the light for State chair
man will simmer down to one between
Doctor E. B. Olt-menth of Macon and
Waller S. Dickey of Kansas City.
The St. Louis friends of Walbridge ore
insisting to-night that he does not want
Clement's. The Walbridge faction eip
turcd the Permanent Organization Com
mittee this afternoon, and tlxtd it t-o that
the convention will decide whether a
State chairman shall be elected or whether
some other method shall be chosen.
PACTIONS CONFUSED.
The result of the Walbridge vote has
confused both factions. Both sides have
developed such a bitter cae of "pie bite,"
as the hunt for Ped-ral ofllce has been
named here, that neither cared to risk its
chances to-night. With more than S00
votes oppesed to Walbridge, on lines that
do not develop the full strength of the
factions, only :i night's work could put
the factions In condition.
To-night there Is talk that John B.
Sn-nger will be the Walbtidge candidate
lor Secretary of state against Ben r.
Russell of Steelvllle. A clicular has been
literally distributed to-day. attacking
Walbridge. and quoting from Russell's
paper at the time that he appointed Wil
liam Flewellyn Saunders Election Com
missioner. Both Rui-sell and Swanger havi
been active in the factional lights of the
party.
Tile convention was conducted on Fed
eral patronage line". The talk about "Cy
clone Cy" was started against Walbridge,
but for some unforeseen reason the South
St. Louis delegates failed to respond.
Doctor Starkloff salr to-night that this
would have no effect. In his opinion, on
the result, as he claimed the South St.
Louis animosity had worn off.
Both factions are caucusing to-night.
The presence of former National Commit
teeman R. C. Kerens, and his appirnt in

a- h conducted them. Dickey of Kansas
City is recognized as the Ket-ns candidate
on every side.
To show to what lengths the Walbridge
element in St. Louis wnt in their deter
mination to crush all opposition is the ex
perience of Hiram Llovd. who was unani
mously elected lust Satuiday nUlit for
State CommitUetnan from the Twelfth
District. Affr the arrival of the dele
gates in St Jcseph it was discovered that
he was oppo-ed to the Walbridge idea on
State chairman and favored Bothwell for
Govt rnor.
The word promptly went out to slaugh
ter Llod. According to the present pro
gramme, Geoige P. Welnbrenner Is to be
substituted in his place to-morrow. Lloyd
is furious, but helpless unless the other
side lets up. Welnbrenner remarked that
Lloyd had a right to be furious, but that
he had failed to shiw himself a "good In
dian." Two bands kept the crowd In a good
humor until State Chairman Akins tailed
the convention tu older at 12:13 o'clock.
The Revetend P V Chrisman of St. Jo
seph prajed Chairman Akins addressed
the convention. He talked or Itousr.velt.
The delegatts applauded without enthusi
asm. He talked of Republican Missouri
The applause was even weaker
KERENS 1 ) KM ONST1 : ATI ON.
"Let every delegate lieio have the (our
age of his convictions, and plan for the
success of the partv," h- said. At this
point foimer National Committeeman R.
C Kerens and Postmaster Sam Elkius of
Columbia, brother of United States Sena
tor Steve Elkins of West Virginia, en-'
tcred. The Walbridge boomers began a
denionsttaliou. The siteaker was inter
rupted. Mr. Kerens took a sent on the
ofipbslte side of the table from Mr. Aklns.
Ills entrance v. is the signal for Repub
lican harmony tu leave the hall. He nod
ded to his acquaintances in different parts
of the hall.
When the Kereps applause ceased Mr.
Akins pioceeded to dilate upon tin. Re
publican national platform. On Slate -fairs.
he denounced the "machine" and
the "ring." He safd that Folk had to ask
permission of the "ring" before he could
be- sure the cenvention would nominate
Jilm. He made a plea for Republican har
mony and asked that the delegates for
one time act for the good of the party.
Again the delegates demurred. They re
fused to take the speaker's words seri
ously. No better evidence of Republican apathv
eoukl be given by the delegates as to their
distrust of the fulsome prophecies of the
chairman. Mr. Aklns introduced Mr. Ker
ens. His friends again applauded the de
posed leader. He said Mr. Akins had the
Bible of Republicanism.
"I bid you good cheer, and sav that a
united effort means victory in November,"
he said. "When wo get rid of the post
offices and the post-office contentions we
'will have the harmony. I say this wlth-

St. Joseph, Mo.,
July II The
Demo-
r
cthIic Convention of the fourth Conces
sional District adjourned ;late to-nlsht
after taking 4M ballots ahd making no
nomination. The delegates will assemble
again at 9-30 o'clock In tha morning.
On none of the ballots was there any
change the result ot each toll call being
Cot bran . Wilson X5 and BooheV 21.
There is nothing to indicate when the
deadlock will be broken, or how the trick
will be turned.
The Wilson and Booher men gave lt out
this morning that if a nomination was not
made to-day. the convention would be ad
journed to Marvville or Platte City. This
was done a. i threat, for neither of the
men named care to make any change, for
lt would inevitably be an advantage to
the other Wilson would probably lose by
a change from St. Jo-rph to Marseille,
and the same may be said of Booher, if an
adjournment was taken to Platte City,
Wilson's home.
The threat was made to frighten the
BuchHnan County delegates, but they ap
parently were not scared in tha slightest
degre- A Holt County dtleate said:
"If we can take some of these St Joseph
men awa from their business for u da
or two tiitj wi.l weaken."
A St Joseph man ieplled: 1 .
"Take the convention tuilLityviUe it
you want to, it suits us- Those dele
gates are all politicians and don't want tu
do anything else. They can plav the
'game In Mar villa as well as In St.
Joseph "
J his stopped all talk or adjourning to an
other cit. When this plan failed, an
effort was made to have the three candi
dates release all the delegates from their
Itvstructlons and let them vote for whom
soever they pleased. This was opposed
by Wilson, because he could see no pos
sible gain In the scheme for himelf. The
t'oclnan m-ti wrie uoncomlttal. but might
liuve agreed to the plan If Wilson had not
balked.
They sav that no matter what kind of a
deal Congressman Cochran may make,
they will vole for lilm solidly as long as
the roll is called. This declaration was a
surprise to some of the other delegates
who last night and this foienoon expected
the deadlock to be broken by a stampede
of the Cochran delegates.
VEST RESOLUTION.
There was a decided silenee in the hall
when J. W. Mytton of St Jo-eph pres. til
ed the following resolution, which was
adopted by a decisive vote:
"Whereas. Bv the press dispatches of
to-day it is evident that one of the most
distinguished citizens of Missouri, the
Honorable George G. Vest, is critically
HI at his home: and.
"Whereas, his great services to.the State
of Missouri and the nation ought not to
be passed unnoticed by this convention,
therefore b it
"Resolved by this convention that we
deplore his serious illness, and extend to
him and his family our heartfelt sympathy
and our hope of his ultimate recovery."
Owing to the fact that the OJd Fel
lows' auditorium, where the session was
held, had been leased for another meet
ing, the convention adjourned at the erd
of the afternoon session to meet in the
Courthous at o'clock.
At the evening session, after the four
hundreth ballot. J. AV. Morii of Burling
ton Junction, violating the rules of the
convention, made e speech, which he got
before the body under the guise of a sug
gestion. He deprecated the predicament
In which the Democracv of the Fourth
District was placing itself, and flnjsheJ
with a motion that the convention adfoum
to Burlington Junction on week from to
night The rhair refused to entertain the
motion
After the four hundred and fiftinth bal
lot the convention adjourned until 9'!f
o'clock to-morrow forenoon Theie 'j no

to the department from Ameiican owneis
of goods seized by Russia, and lt arrived
this morning in the form of a telegram
from Mr John H Mitchell, United States
Senator and attorney for the Portland
Milling Company of Portland. Ore.
Mr Mitchell declared that his clients
hMd shipped on the Arabia .(KW sacks of
flour, valued at SlOO.Mv. that the flour
vas consigned largely to Hong-Kong and
was nut a war order, but a part of the
normal trade of the company, and there
fore could under no circumstances be con
sidered contraband. The uwners ask the
United States to demand Indemnity from
Rus-la.
The protest received prompt attention
from tho State Department, but no state
ment was made as to the probable a.c
llon of the United States. It was said
that this Government must first have com
plete official reports cf all the attending
circumstances, and the Ambassador was
instructed to obtain these from the Rus
sian Government at once. It is under
stood at the State Department that the
United States had laid down a regular
policy In regard to seizures, to be fol
lowed In all cases
No action will be taken on unofficial re
ports. When protests aie made n ortl
oial report Of the occurrence" will bo ob
tained through iegular sources, uud then
action taken according to this policy.
What action Is taken depends almost en
tirely on whether or not the owners of the
seized goods are able to furnish good proof
that lt was 111 no tense contraband. The
United States will not protect or aid even
her own citizens who are guilty of deal
ing in contraband of war with either of
the belligerents in the present contest.

JAPS IN NORTH
TRESS TOWARD RAILROAD.
Sintsintin. Manchuria. July .Simul
taneously with the advance from the
scuth. the Japanese from the north have
piessed forward toward the west, as It
to sit ike the railroad south ot Mukden.
The move is not made by a heavy force,
so fur as known, and it is thought by the

JAPS ADVANCING
TOWARD UAI-CHENQ.
St. Petersburg. July ST. A telegram from
General Kuropatkln was received to-day
confirming the occupation of Tatchekiao
by the Japanese July 2S. and adding that
a Japanese division has since moved oa
Hal-Cheng.
A telegram from General Kuropatkln.
filed yesterday, refers to a temporary wis
psnsion of tha Japanese advance. A Japs
anese divicion was then holding Tatche
klao, with outposts several miles north
ward of the main body.
General Stakelberg's and General Zarou
baleff's corps were at Hal-Cheng, but tha
rearguard of the Russian army was half
way between Hal-Chens and Tatchaklao.
The Japanese, it was then believed, wera
probablyhaltlug, as usual with them after
each advance, to recuperate and entrench.
Two Japanese divisions were neaxing Sl
mouchen. which bears the same relation
to Hal-Cheng as Tangohl to Tatcheklao.
These forces were also stopping and
throwing up earthworks eight miles south
east of SImouchen. which is strongly held
by the Russians. Skirmishers from either
B!de Were within speaking distance.
The Japanese continue to menace Llao
Tang's communications by concentrating
troops- at SIkseyan. but no further advance '
had been made yesterday toward Llao
Yang or Mukden.
