SIA'S WEAKNES OPPORTUNITY OF JAPAN llu Early Stages of ii i i II r ngni Have been uyerwhelmed With Slight Effort The Situation Greatly Improved in the Last lr Ion, July 16.

The enemy had complete rr..:.stery of the sea. Expedients to Conceal Weakness "All sorts of expedients were resorted to in order that the weakness should rot be too apparent at New Chwang, where an attack was daily apprehend el Sixty field guns were detrained at the- railway station but only two bat teries had horses. The rest was there f'.T show purposes only. Nearly every cay troops marched through the for eign settlement to the fort and back s;in in order to give the impression that there was a large force in the Neighborhood. When General Kuro r tkin came to visit the port he was received by 5.000 men near the fort, (f whi.-h 3,000 came with him from Tast hichiao and returned- with him the s; me afternoon.

Un fortunately for the Russians, it is prac tically impossible for even a much larger army to relieve Port Arthur so long as the Japanese command the sea, for any force advancing southward must leave both flanks and rear open to attack from the sea. That is . why the Japanese had no need to hold the Liaotung peninsula in force north of Kirichou. When General! ' Kuropatkin sent General Stakelberg with the first Siberian army corps, to attempt its re lief he was simply acting under in structions front St. Petersburg and not because he expected to help Port' Ar thur. As soon as we heard that Gen- ieral Stakelberg had gone , to Wafang- tien we expected 'disaster, and this rr f ning- a telegrarn', came that the dis sister had taken plaeie. General Stakel- berg, while endeavoring Japanese right flank, was to turn the suddenly hit on his own right and badly routed. The Japanese were apparently not greatly superior in numbers, but their artillery was infinitely better, both in numbers, and in effectiveness, and their tactics, as usual, were perfect examples of how battles should be fought, j Estimate of Contending Armies n - -i "Now the army of 'General Oku is ad- vancing from the south ,and General Kuroki is coming from the southeast. When they eTfccr a'.' juncti form a fighting unit, of at on they will least 100,000, and there is still the army of General Nodzu to come. General Kuropatkin has advanced to extricate General Sta kelberg, who has lost (officially) 3,000. but probably 6,000, while the rest of his men are badly shaken.- j "On the other hand the railway is every day making good the gaps in the ranks, and although the record for June is not so good as in May, troops are stil! arriving at the rate of 1.5(H) a day with a large: quantity of 'artil lery; so at the time of writing General Kuropatkin; must' have 110,000 men and not less than 280 guns, j Considering that two more army, corps are already on. the way,, he may.be jconsldered quite pafe at' Liao Yang so long as -he doe not risk another attempt to relieve Port Arthur. - . !

Japan up to t S tlm had put in the field only 81,t00 combatants and 34,000 non-combatants, j making a' total of 115,000. There were. t available 261,000 who had served three years in the ranks and most of whom are probably in the field by this time. Japan's total resources, .without calling out the conscript reserves, are from 400,000 to 450,000, who have been trained for active service.

George E. Fisher, the former owner of the road and at this time a large stockholder, made the application for a receiver before Judge Mullen, alleging gross mismanagement and reckless ness. The action taken early this morn ing is to protect the Interests of the Goulds and name receivers who are recognizea as competent and capable men. The receivers are directed to take im mediate charge of the property in the state of Virginia, to operate the same, and to execute bonds In the sum of $50,000 each for the faithful performance of their duties. DECLINED TO SERVE v . " - - --y Defection From Roosevelt In Union League Club New York, July 16. There has been some talk at the Union League Club crver the apparent refusal of some of the members recently appointed to form the club's campaign committee to serve on the body. At the last meeting of the club about sixty members were named to make up a campaign com mittee and the list was posted on the bulletin board. Since the list was hung up about half a dozen names have been obliterated by pasting over them slips of white paper. The Inference ia that these men have declined to serve and there has been talk in the club to the effect that the declinations had been sent in by members who are not in sympathy with President Roosevelt. That any Union League member has refused to serve this year has caused surprise, for the reason that Cornelius ; Bliss the president of the club, is the treasurer of the Republican national committee. It is understood that three of the number who would not consent t to serve are William Rockefeller, Orson D. Munn and Amos F, Eno. Mr. Rocke feller was a member of the committee in both the McKinley campaigns. The defection ! of the Rockefeller interests will mu.i the loss of a large contribu tion to the Republican campaign fund. N.

The Exchange Telegraph Company has received a dis patch from Pretoria stating that Lord Milner, high commissioner for South Africa, has consented to the burial of the body of ex-President Kruger there. WASHED ASHOuE - .;. . A Body Believed to Be That of Kent Loomis . London, July 16. A body, believed to ' be that of Kent Loomis, brother of the American assistant secretary of state, who disappeared from the steamship coast, which is about eighteen miles from Plymouth. A card of Kent Loomis was found on the body, but no dispatches were found.' The body was found at 6 o'clock this morning.- It is that of a man five feet, six inches in height, and was well dressed in a blue suit and grey overcoat. The pockets contained gold coin, a gold watch, and a card bearing the name of "J. Kent Loomis." The body was taken to some neighboring farm buildings to'-await the inquest. Assistant . Secretary : of State Loomis said tonight: Tn the course of the very thorough investigation of my brother's -disappearance which we have tried to make I visited the Kaiser Wilhelm II at New York, ten days -ago and made a care ful examination of those parts of the ship which he was In the habit of frequenting. I also J talked at length with 1 the officers and employes" who knew him. They were unanimous in the statement that his habits were correct throughout the voyage. This corresponds with his character and reputation, and my own knowledge of him. After lookirfg carefully over the boat deck I inclined very strongly to the theory, .which I still hold, that my brother probably ascended to that deck ' alone about midnight to take a look about before retiring, ventured outside of . the railing to the open un protected space beyond the boats, and accidentally fell overboard. He was last seen sitting alone near the book seller's case about half past eleven at night a place where he often sat to read in the evenings There was no evidence obtainable to warrant either the conclusion that he had committed suicide or been a victim of foul play." Packers and Butchers Will right to a Finish Reinstatement of Men Who Quit Their Work a Stum- bling Block Negotia tions for Arbitration End in Disagree ment Chicago, July 16. Reinstatement of all men who left their places on account of the meat strike proved a stumbling block In the way of peace at a joint conference held between the packers and representatives of . the butcher workmen this afternoon. As a result peace negotiations have been declared at' an end, and it will now be a fight to a finish. The strike leaders today conT ceded everything the packers asked as to the manner in which the differences snould be arbitrated, but they refusea to accept the offer to take, the strikers back as fast as possible in the order they made application. "Accepting the plan of arbitration pro posed by the packers, which would ad mit of a cut in wages, and agreeing to leave everything to impartial arbitra tion, President Donnelly asked if the packers would agree to reinstate all the men now out within seven days if the strike was called off. .His original de mand set the limit at three days. The 1904, Inquiry at the ' state department , to night elicited the fact that when it was decided to have the treaty carried forawrd from Paris by W. H. Ellis, in order to insure its jirompt arrival in Abyssinia, a cablegram was sent to King Menellk, stating explicitly , that, as the messenger who had set OUt Wltn the treat v haii lisnrared It ! would probably be sent on by W. H. Ellis, who carried it as a matter of accommodation," and who is proceeding to Abyssinia on personal business in which this government has no interest and with which it has no concern. It also was stated in the same cablegram that the bearer of the treaty, whoever he was; would have no official or dip lomatic character whatsoever. King Menelik has acknowledged receipt of this message arid said that the status of the bearer of the treaty was per fectly understood by him.

EfimuiM v& maim Half a Million Copies Sent Out and the Ordered to Deliver Hundreds of Thousands More National Conventions Too Big for Proceeding With Deliberation By THOMAS Washlngton, D. C, July 16 I Special. The speech delivered by Claude Kitchin prior to the adjournment of. congress, ! ment issued in the campaign thus far, i and this fact is giving discomfiture to the Republicans. The Star, the admin istration organ, devoted more than' a i ' column this afternoon, seeking to make it appear that Mr. Kltchln's speech was a bitter personal attack on the presi- i dent. As a matter of fact the most se vere reflections on the president that Mr. Kltchln gave utterance to cape rrom the mouth or General qrrosvenor, . tw admlni8tration. contrasting reckless statements of the Terrible Teddy. All of Mr. evidence 'and facts were taken publican sources.

National Conventions Unw eldy There is one thing that seems to ap ' peal to the delegates who attended the St. Louis convention, and that is the J. PENCE the politicians by whom the galleries have been packed. Everybody knows they were packed at St. Louis. There are indications that the charges filed in the Senate against Judge H. G. Ewart, when his confirmation as United States district judge was being fought, will be used in the campaign in the tenth district. An effort has recently been made to secure some of the papers filed in the Ewart case, but it is hardly likely that it will be successful.. It was stated at the Senate judiciary commit tee rooms that the papers were regarded as private. Ex-Representatiye E.1 Spencer Black burn, Mrs. Blackburn and daughter have gone to Atlantic City to spend a few days. West Virginia and Nebraska West Virginia Democrats say there is but one safe Republican district in their state that represented by Dove ner in, the northern part of the state, crowded in between Pennsylvania and Ohio. The other four are doubtful ter ritory, the Democrats having an equal, if not a better, change for them than the Republicans. - The legislature, which will be chosen this year will in turn elect a successor to Senator Scott. The Democrats have a. strong legislative ticket in the field and hope to elect John T. McGraw to th,e Senate. Senator Scott is very wealthy and will spend all of his time and much of his money on the legisla tive fight. With many other Republi can leaders the senator cares very little about Mr. Roosevelt. The Democratic leaders are going to give Mrfc.;Bryan every assistance, jf ne wants it, in carrying the "state of Ne braska. Senator. Bailey,. In response to Mr. Bryan's request, has decided to , make a number of speeches in the state, and other Democratic leaders hold themselves in readiness to make cam paign speeches from one end of Nebras ka to the other. Should the Democrats capture the legislature Mr. Bryan will come to the Senate. It is announced that Fourth Assistant Postmaster 'General Bristojv, who con ducted the "investigation" of the poet office department rascals, will take the stump for the Republican ticket in Kan- sas. If Mr. Bristow discusses the pos tal frauds, even Kansas ought to go JJemocratic. Headquarters in Chicago Chicago. July 16. Although Chair man George Cortelyou of the Republi can national. committee will spend the great tr cor tion of his time at the New York- headquarters, to be near the president, the coming campaign will be conducted largely from ; Chicago.- As in 1896 and again in 1900, the main headquarters will be located in this city, rooms having been engaged at the Auditorium Annex. Chairman Cortelyou and Secretary Dover are expected to. arrive at Chi cago July 30 or 31 and open the head quarters Monday, August 1. Candidates for Senator Indianapolis, Ind., July 16. Interest In the contest for the seat in the Unitel States Senate which Mr. Fairbanks will vacate if elected to the vice presidency was heightened today by the formal announcement of the candidacy of Harry S. New, member of the national Republican committee for Indiana and soon to be appointed vice chairman. Congressman Heminway is the leading candidate against New and his friends are makjng a fight to control the con vention at" which three state senators and seven representatives will be nomi nated. Mr. Heminway is backed by Senator Fairbanks and Mr. New is said to have the indorsement ' of President Roosevelt, and it is along these lines that the battle is being waged. Soldiers Guard a Wagon South Omaha, Neb., July 16. United States military authorities and the striking packing house employes nearly clashed today and it became necessary for a detail of soldiers to accompany a meat supply wagon from Armour's through the ranks of the pickets. During the morning on of the gov ernment wagons drew up before the packing house for the weekly supply of meat for Fort Creek. While this wa9 being loaded strike pickets appeared and forced the driver to move on with out his supply. An hour later the driver returned and with him came a squad of United States soldiers with their rifles. The meat was loaded with out molestation and the wagon and sol diers returned to the fort. t ; 4 -y. - A it . -A i" - M ";- - - ;i
