PARKER MAY UAKF A TOUR.
Visitors From the Wast Urge a Stump
Ing Tour of the Doubtful s States
and Meet With Much Encourage
ment. ' 't "
Esopus, August -17. Nearly every
delegation arriving at Rosemount
from the west urges Judge Parker . to
go on a stumping tour during the cam
paign and visit the doubtful states.
This was the object of the visit today
from G. V. Menzles.of Mount Vernon,
Ind., and John Spencer, of Evansville,
Ind. . So much encouragement was re
ceived that they remained overnight at
Judge Parker's home to discuss the
subject of a western trip. Judge Par
ker determined, soon after his nomina
tion by the St. Louis convention that
he would oonduct his personal cam
paign from Rosemount, but since the
notification ceremonies, so much pre
sure has been brought ' to bear upon
him that be has promised to give the
lnvitationa Serious consideration. ,
The suggestion has been made that
Judge Jarker extend his trip to the St.
Louis exposition to take In a number
of cities in Indiana and other states
that are regarded as doubtful by the
Democratic campaign managers.
Edward H. Shepard, of New York,
mentioned as a possible candidate for
the governorship of New York, took
luncheon with Judge Parker today and
was another who urged the necessity of
ther imaking a speaking campaign,
though he did not consider the question
of the candidate going on a stumping
tour himself. Mr. Shepard has already
placed himself at the disposal of the
national committee and will make a
great many speeches. As Mr. Shepard
left Rosemount he made a . statement
to the Associated Press regarding his
visit to Judge Parker, as folllows.
"I have had a general talk with
Judge Parker and I am rejoiced
to find him greatly encouraged and
full of vigor. The Democratic party
lias a genuine leader, in the presence
of whom it is Impossible to have doubt
or distrust, who understands and sym
pathizes with the feeling and ideals of
the good citizen, who has a clear per
ception of the difficulties, but the prac
tical sagacity and wisdom with which
to overcome them."
Regarding the mention of his name
for the nomination for. governor of
New York, Mr. Shepard said there are
so roany persons in his class now that
no one appears to be immune.
"However, "he continued, "I did not
discuss the governorship with J udge
Parker."
TO DEFEND VLADIVASTOK.
Russians Prepare to Defend the City
Against the Japs. -
St. Petersburg, Aug. 18. A dis-'
patch from Liao Yang states the rains
are so late this year that the compara
tive calm In the field will probably be
protracted until September. ' It was
stated this morning than an attack on
Vladlvostock by the Japanese, is an
ticipated during the period of calm in
the field, and that measures are being
taken to fuljy fortify the Pacific port
against such an onslaught.
Berlin, Aug. 18. The Die . Post re
ports that 5 thousand Japanese were
killed in an attack on Port Arthur
yesterday.' .
London, Aug. 18. The Russian gar
rison at Port Arthur refused to comply
with the Japanese demand for surren
der and the non-combatants in the be
leagured city refuse to avail them-
tnemseives or tne Japanese oner of a
chance to leave the city.
.Telegrams issued vby the Japanese
legation this morning confirm the
press reports to this effect.
The Japanese demand was sent Into
the beleagured city on Monday night,
with the stipulation thit ' an anscr
should be sent back by 10 o'clock yes
terday morning. .. '
The refusal means that the bombard
ment of the city will be renewed ' with
increasing vigor. : Owing to the se
rious plight of the garrison It is ex
pectedthat the fall of Port Arthur
will be affected in a day or two.

TOO SOLDIERS MEET DEATH
At Dark loose Near Go Ids boro While
Returning From Morehead.
TWO MORE PERHAPS FATALLY INJURED
Members of the Durham Company Sitting on the Tcp
of the Car Were Struck by the Bridge and Hurled
to Death. V
A horrible accident occurred at; Storiy Creek bridge this after
noon when the troop train bearing the third regiment soldiers, reached
there; in which two members of the lurham company were killed and
two more mortally injured. The names of those killed were Burns
Warren and Bunch Johnson. The names of the injured were not
learned. They are in the hospital at poldsboro and expected to die
at any moment.
The four young men were sitting on the top of the car when it
reached Stony Creek bridge dark house, just this side of Goldsboro,
and all unconscious of the impending danger, when the bridge cover
struck them. The heads of the two that were killed , were mashed flat
from the force of the blow. ; t
The horrible accident cast a ' gloom over all the soldiers, the
comrades bemoaning the sad fate of-those with whom they had so
pleasantly associated. r
The train bearing the Durham Company passed through this
city about one o'clock.

A business man laid down a princi
ple to me which strikes bed rock in
guiding us while picking out men
who are to have charge of the affairs
of our county.
He said that no man should be chos
en to manage the affairs of the pub
lic until he could first manage bis own
estate. Now I appreciate the sugges
tion that some may make, that, though
a prophet may not be acceptable in
his present profession, by increasing
his reSDonsibility many told, you ere-
eater business ability ?ift ikim Shut
don't take any stock in sucn a sugges
tion. I believe that our Klnston man
is right.
Especially should this principle be
appreciated now since the county has
gone to much expense of late. With
out questioning the advisability of the
expense, I see this fact that now con
fronts us, and that is, that we must
meet this expense, '

serious reports are coming in from ail

been formed by the whites throughout

of driving the bad negroes out of the

bloodshed. A message received today
says that the charred remains of one
of the netrroes lynched was placed in
a box and addressed to President
Roosevelt, with a note rending:
' You'll never eat with this nigger."
