explained that they did so^ for business

PRELIMINARY -SKIRMISHING

Votes and Prevent Early

(By Assoolated Press.)
ST. LOUIS, July 1.?Two distinct lines
of operation developed to-day ln the.pre?
liminary skirmishing ot tho Democratic
National. Convention. One,Is a scheme
to rush the nomination of Judge Parker
on the first of second ballot, and the
other Is to scatter the voto and prevent
an early nomination, with a view of nam?
ing Cleveland or Gorman. Tho fri?nds
of Gorman and Cleveland are working to
hold the convention for-.several ballots
In the hopo that their candidate will bn
named. The Gorman-men.aro not parties
to the Cleveland movement, nor are the
Cleveland advocates combining, with Gor?

It Is to the interests of both th? th?

There are a few men here?met ot tho
old Cleveland guard?who are watching
every point, and who are Iriu close com?

They are using the race Issue on the
Southern men, and with all delegate?
tney use. the argument that Cleveland Is
the only man the Democrats can elect?
Tho man who Is credited with being the
head and front of the Cleveland move?
ment, Thomas F. Ryan, will arrive to?
morrow*. Mr. Ryan is a delegate from
Virginia He hat? been associated with
Charles, P. Murphy, leader of Tammany
hi all. '
Gorman's position Is stated to be that
he will not enter Into any combination
to prevent the nomination of Parker un?
less It means his own selection. Atonn?,
Gorman are gathered the Maryland, West
Virginia, District of Columbia delegations
and some from other States, with a hare
possibility of secu'rlrig New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. It now seems that the con?
trol of the party affairs will pass to tho
East, no matter who may be tho candi?
date or what may bo the platform.

Go to Supreme Court.
(Special to The Times-Dispatch.)
NORFOLK, VA? July l.-Tho City
Council to-night elected W. H. T. Loyall
police justice, of the city, to succeed Jus?
tice Taylor. The Councils also elected
R. XV. Shultlee and J. Leo?i Wood aa
police commissioners. Seven justices of :
the peace wero also elected. There was ,
an exciting sceno tn tho Council cham?
ber during the election, some of the mem?
ber.?*! holding that the old Councils had
the power to elect the officials, while
others' holding that the will of the peo?
ple was. greater than the ??????????p,
which 'failed to stato which Council
should do the appointing.
The concensus of opinion was that, the
new Councils, which came into office in
September, should have filled the offices.
The city attorney so ruled.
There a#i now two sets of police com- ;
miFsIoners, and the Mayor will refuse
to swear in those officers appointed by
the old Councils.
It la anticipated that the good govern?
ment people will secure an Injunction
against the new commissioners to prevent
them appointing new policemen.
The matter will be carried finally to
tho Supreme Court, which will bo asked
for an early opinion.

LONDON, July 1.?To-day's news from
the Far East has contained several Items
of greW Interest, chief among theso be?
ing a report that a great naval battle
waa In progress Just outsldo of Port
Arthur, In connection with which it waa
rumored at Che Feo that the Port Arthur
fleet ' had broken through tho blockades
and met tho Vladivostok squadron and
that tho combined fleet had then ad?
vanced against Togo. Somo color Is lent
to this story by the reports from Port
Arthur that only four of tho Russian
ships wero In tho harbor and from Tokio,
that the Vladivostok squadron had again
eluded Kamlmura.
? Reports of the situation In Manchuria
indicato that tho long expected battle la
now on near Hal Cheng, and that Kuro?
patkin Is la a most difficult position, bo
Ing caught between three Japanese armies
each of them being of Imposing strength
apd the combination belili" such as to
render his' chances of escaping extremely
doubtful. It appears from iho best ad?
vices that. a. force dispatched by Kurokl
has cut the railroad; Inj/rppt?,of ? lie re?
treating, Russians, .while"another column
has advanced against them from Sho Nu
Cheng and a third column Is marching
to the attack along tho railroad from thc
south.
The aim of tho Japanese commander
reten?a to be to push the campaign to a
speedy close In order to take udvunlngo
cf the" rainy season, which renders) the
roads of Manchuria practically itnpussn
bie, and Intrench themselves in the .-outn
?.t? section, compelling the Russians to
assumo the offensive, which will put
iheni to great disadvantage and prolong
? war until the expenso of muintJin
l'.g the struggle becomes loo great for
the Czar's government to carry, and thus
compel the latter to sue for peace.
It Is understood that overture.-, hav??
men made to Russia looking toward
trlondly Intervention by tho United
Slates, but that Russia has declined lo
consider tho proposition under the pres?
ent circumstances, declaring the tust
move toward such an end must come
from Japan.
