Oku and Nodzu is close to ,Ta Tche Kiao, almost certainly in action. Other brigades of the Takushan army and possibly Gen. Kuroki's southernmost column yesterday were converging on Tangehi, about ten miles southeast of Ta-Tche Kiao. It is taken for granted that they are within striking distance of Kuropatkin's center, and are executing a flanking movement to hem his forces into a battleground covered by the main Japanese advance on its southern boundary. . " FIVE JAPANESE DIVISIONS THERE TA TCHE KIAO,.JuIy 13.—1t is reported the Japanese have fives divisions and 200 guns and that they have been placing siege guns in readiness for a determined assault. Two Japanese battalions made a tentative attack July 11. They were met by one Russian battalion and two companies of cavalry with two guns and were driven off with consid erable loss. The Russian guns did not give the Japanese ar tillery a chance to occupy the position for which they had been maneuvering. On July 12 the Japanese shelled Gen. Mistichenko's posi tion at intervals throughout the day, but the shots all went wide. The Russians, who did not reply, had not a single casualty. It was Gen. Mistichenko's saint's" day, and the sol diers attributed their immunity to special interposition.

C, July 14. —Be- cause of protests filed by cattlemen of the Dakotas and Montana the depart ment of agriculture has decided to modify the regulations relating to the dipping of cattle intended for export. The shippers who were in Washington it short time ago contended that if the present regulations were enforced it would require two dippings for every beef cattle, regardless of whether it was afflicted with mange or not. The amended regulations, to be is-, sued in a few days, will require only one dipping for sound animals and special treatment for those which have been exposed to infection. k —Walter E. Clark.

T., July 14.—Congress man W. Bourke Cockran, August Bel mont and William R. Rodie were among the callers upon Judge Parker today. After luncheon they all sat on the porch with Parker. Here is what everybody concerned had to say: Congressman Cockran—The courage ous and manly action of Parker stirred me to the heart. I have not felt be fore as I feel in this campaign. I shall do all I can for Judge Parker. I shall make more speeches than I ever made before. I shall do my best. August Belmont—l am very much in the same position as Mr. Cockran. Senator McCarren —Did I come up to bring about harmony? Why, there's nothing but harmony. There isn't any trouble in New York. • New York is carried for Parker now by the biggest majority any ticket ever had. Trouble between Tammany and myself? I nev er heard of any trouble. There isn't any. It is only a question of majority in New York. The issue is now the man. Enthusiastic Over Parker Special to The Globe NEW YORK, July 14.—At a meet ing of the Brooklyn Democratic club to night Parker and Davis were indorsed. The club supported Palmer and Buek ner in 1896 and in 1900 was under the Bryan standard. President Herman A. Metz presided at meeting. William S. Hurley, vice president of the Borough bank, made a speech in which he laud ed the character of Parker, declared he was a most acceptable candidate, and that he had welded the party. Jules Guerdon, who was one of the signers of the call for the Cooper institute meeting which sent a protesting dele gation to St. Louis, seconded the in dorsement of Parker and Davis. Guer don said Parker's telegram had grov ed him a man above reproach. Other speeches were made highly complimen tary to Parker. Men who voted for McKinley declared they would be for Parker this year. President Metz was authorized to appoint a committee to conduct a campaign among independ ent Democratic voters in the interest of Parker. Mere Question of Majority ESOPUS, N.

Colorado has five electoral votes, and could be substi tuted for either of the three states in the above table, or for Nevada in the original list if it be believed that there is doubt of Democratic success in either of these. Then there is California with ten electoral votes. We believe that on the issues of today California is unhesi tatingly Democratic. The state has al ways been ground for hard fighting. The ten votes of California alone are enough, when added to our original list, to elect Judge Parker. Wisconsin has thirteen electoral votes. The prob abilities at this time are all in favor of these being cast for Parker and Davis. While the two factions in which the Republicans are divided profess allegiance to Roosevelt, no such fight can be made as has been pulled off there without damage to the general ticket. The La Follette people rightly hold Roosevelt responsible for the in dorsement given by the national com mittee and convention to the Spooner faction. They are all of them most im placable and unforgiving. They per ceive defeat confronting them and they are going to take revenge. Meanwhile, it will be remembered that only twelve years ago Grover Cleveland, a man not unlike Judge Parker, on a platform no stronger than that adopted this year, carried Wisconsin against a united and harmonious Republican party by a, tre mendous majority. We believe that Wisconsin ought to be counted as safe ly Democratic this year. Without going further into the states where there is a fighting chance; into Indiana, which would almost certainly be ours but for the appeal to local pride made by an Indiana candidate on the Republican ticket; into Illinois, where Republican factionalism and disgrace has made the chances fairly even; into Massachusetts, where the revolt against Roosevelt as- imperator, against execu tive usurpation and treading the con stitution under foot is naturally at its highest, or into any of the other states where Republican success is doubtful, we have shown how many different possibilities and what a number of ao tual probabilities open the way to Dem ocratic success. The true way to scan such a table of electoral votes is not by the results of 1900 or 1896, when issues prevailed that are now swept away, but by com parison with the vote in 1892, in 1888 and in 1884. Then the two parties were aligned more nearly as to platform as they are now, with the exception that in addition to the larger demand today for tariff reform we have the issue of Rooseveltism; of one man power against the rule of the people. Let any man with reasonably open mind figure the chances as we have done, and we believe that he will speedily see not merely how the Democratic ticket may be elected, but how and where and why it must. PAULKR«GOES TO HIS LAST REWARD Former President of the South African Republic Will Be Taken Home for Burial CLARENS, Switzerland, July 14.— Paul Kruger, former president of the Transvaal republic, died here today of pneumonia and supervening heart weakness. He lost consciousness Mon day. His daughter and sont-in-law were with him at the time of his death. He had been out only once since his ar rival here, at the beginning of last month. The ex-president's body was embalmed and placed in a vault pend ing funeral arrangements. Application will be made to the British govern ment for authority to transport the remains to the Transvaal. In the mean time they will be temporarily interred here. Mr. Kruger, who was staying at the Villa Dv Boichet, had been failing for a long time, but he was able to attend to affairs, read the newspapers and re ceive visits until Saturday. A change for the worse set in on Sunday. He became unconscious on Monday and remained so until his death. Mr. Kru ger expressed a desire to be buried be side his wife, in his own country. He died of senile pneumonia, caused by sclerosis of the arteries. The ex-presi dent's state of health was kept secret. He had arranged to return to Men tone, France, next fall, re-leasing the picturesque villa which he had occu pied on the outskirts of the town. Vis itors described him as being a pathetic figure of calm endurance. His eye sight had dimmed, but he sat much at times with his Bible open before him, muttering well known pasages. He avoided references to the Boer war, but when it was occasionally men tioned he showed no resentment, and expressed the belief that Proridence would eventually render justice to the Boer cause. Transvaal Mourns PRETORlA.Transvaal, July 14.—The flags on all the government buildings are at half mast. Mr. Kruger will be buried beside former presidents of the Transvaal unless his will provides oth erwise. Memorial services will be held July 17 in all the Dutch churches. Gen. Botha has ordered that all the Boers shall wear, mourning until after the funeral, which, it is expected, will be attended by representatives of every district of the Transvaal.

The Picture Was Made Just Before He Left Pretoria ROADS ARE PATROLLED BY STRIKING BUTCHERS Pickets Operating in Six Hour Reliefs Guard Roads Leading to the Swift Plants—Strike Breakers Are Smuggled Through Lines During Night—Strikers and Packers Hold Conference in Chicago—Several Small Riots Occur There During Day DEVELOPMENTS OF THE DAY IN THE PACKERS' STRIKE | Conferences are held in Chicago with a view to arbitration. There is a good prospect that the difficulty will be settled in this manner. Sev | eral riotous demonstrations occur in that city. In Sioux City, Omaha and Kansas City the packing plants will re sume operations today on a limited scale. Three hundred pickets patrol roads between St. Paul and Swift plant. No additional increase in price of meat is made by St. Paul retail ' dealers. Two hundred new men supposed to be at work in blockaded plant at , South St. Paul. Swift company said to have exhausted its supply of fresh beef and ' mutton at South St. Paul. Strikers send pickets to Stillwater. Duluth, Oelwein and other towns. Three- hundred pickets, a bicycle corps of scouts, all organized with mil itary precision, operating by reliefs of six hours, patrol -the roads between the city and South St. Paul and the strikers have settled down to a siege. In the engine house at South St. Paul at midnight" Secretary George Steep was receiving reports from the bicycle riders. All along the roads running toward the city, at stated distances, little groups of men lay about camp fires. "No thoroughfare" was written in luminous letters in the darkness, and no strike breaker attempted to run the lines. The pickets on duty will be relieved at 6 o'clock this morning and a dozen fresh bicycle riders will be mounted. "They fooled us during the dark hours Wednesday night," said one of the Strikers, in charge of a squad near the main entrance to the packing plant. "They won't do it again." Although the number of pickets was increased yesterday by the butchers and other employes on strike at the packing plant of Swift & Co., South St. Paul, the company resumed slaugh tering for the first time since the strike began Tuesday noon. Upward of 200 men, as nearly as could be ascertained, were put to work in place of the 750 men and the 40 women that went on strike. These recruits were secretly obtained and did not pass the line of pickets. They are thought to have been brought in in refrigerator cars. No additions were reported yesterday to the advance made Wednesday by the retail meat dealers in the price of beef and pork. Some Work in the Plant The animals slaughtered yesterday at the Swift company's South St. Paul plant were said to be 75 cattle and 550 hogs. To accomplish this work the company had presumably 200 new men in the butchering department. Most of the new men, it is supposed, were taken into the plant during Wed nesday night. They were either trans ported in box cars or they were "car ried ashore in small boats from a steamboat that had quietly come down river. 1 Yesterday, as was rumored among the union men, a number of strike breakers were smuggled through the picket lines in refrigerator cars. J. D. Banks, local representative of Swift & Co. at South St. Paul, re turned yesterday from a vapation. On taking charge of the plant he said: "Every department here is now be- THE GLOBE YtheAnly live newspaper - in st. Paul On Trains FIVE CENTS ing operated to a limited extent. No part of the plant is absolutely idle. We intend to increase our force, ma terially from day to day. Every^man applying for work here will be hired so long as our force is short. The fact that an applicant is or is not a union man will not make the slightest dif ference." \ None of the recruits ventured out of the plant, where they were receiving food and shelter. In the "hanging house," it was said, 150 cots had been prepared. The numerous pickets did not annoy the "bosses," office clerks, stenog raphers and other employes who went back to work yesterday morning in de partments not deserted by the strikers. But a number of boys whose inten tions were not clear were obliged to promise not to "kill." They then se- . cured passes from the union head quarters and entered the plant. Milkman Runs Blockade A milkman, Patrick McAuliffe, was the hero of the only exciting minute throughout the day. When he attempt ed to drive through the main gateway, taking milk, perhaps, to strikebreakers, he heard the pickets yell, "Stop him!" They made other observations more critical. But he "gee-up-ed" his de liberate horse and passed the Rubicon without disaster. No other -"outsider" made a visible attempt to get inside. The corps of pickets rose yesterday from 200 to 300. Some of them were dispatched 'to Still water, Duluth, Oel wein and other towns to warn off men that may accept employment from the Swift company in ignorance of the real situation at South St. Paul. The twelve saloons of South St. Paul remained open yesterday, but the only arrests made were those of four "drunks." In view of possibilities, however, Sheriff Joe Grisim arrived early from Hastings and assumed command of the squad of six deputy sheriffs. Before slaughtering began yesterday the Swift company was said to have exhausted its local supply of fresh beef and mutton. There was enough pork on hand to last until next week and enough of salted and smoked meats and by-products to last until the Ist of August. The few "independent" packers in and about St. Paul were operating their small plants yesterday at full pressure Continued on Third Page
