Advices have been received here that a Russian torpedo boat destroyer which put into Chefoo has made a. re quest to the Chinese that it be per mitted to disarm and remain, and that the request is under consideration. The news is taken here as an indication that the Russian fleet has decided per manently to abandon Port Arthur, for otherwise the torpedo boat could have obtained a sudoIv of coal at Chefoo sufficient to have returned her to that Ferdinand, Dubois county, is in a state fortress. - The application for permis-,of great excitement , tonight over the sion to remain and disarm or disman-: appointment of a colored girl as deputy tie is regarded as an evidence that the in the Pst offlce- Dr- A- G- Walle boat Is destined tor no further service ; an is postmaster, but his professional during the present war, for that would duties take him from the office fre be the only condition under which the Quently.

A semi-official telegram re j ports that the Russian battleships Po beida and Retvizan have returned to day to Port Arthur. Three Japanese torpedo boat destroyers are now outside this harbor watching the Russian tor pedo boat destroyer Reyshitelnt, which is still flying the Russian flag. Cervera's Sortie Recalled London, Aug. 11. The afternoon pa pers today, while admitting that the result of the engagement off Port Ar thur is not clear, generally interpret the conflicting reports from Tokio and Chefoo as meaning that the bulk of the Russian squadron at Port Arthur made a sortie in the hope of escaping, but that only the torpedo boat destroyer Reyshitelni, which reached Chefoo, succeeded in getting away, and that the Reyshitelni believed, as indicated by the statements of her captain, that the rest of the squadron would be equally successful. The papers recall Admiral Cervera's dash from Santiago, followed by the speedy surrender of the town, and con sider that the sortie from Port Arthur indicates the impending fall of the fort ress. Russia's future plans, and while it is acknowledged that its departure will greatly weaken the defensive power of the garrison, without the capture of the squadron the fall of the fortress Definite news of the' result of the reported battle outside of Port Arthur is awaited here with feverish anxiety. Even if the squadron succeeded in get- ting through the Japanese ships, it is realized that it runs a desperate risk to reach Vladivostok, as Admiral To go's fleet is larger, of superior strength and f aster. than the Russian squadron.

A rumor was current today among the Venezuelan residents in this city that General Fer rer, civil governor of the state of Fal- fled to the mountains with 1,000 men to start a revolution against President Castro. At the Venezuelan consulate in Wall street it was admitted that the report of General Ferrer's murder was gain ing credence, but it was stated that no official intelligence has been received from Caracas. ' ' General Ferrer was the minister of which post he held -until the revision Df the Venezuelan constitution in April last by President Castro, when he was named by the president for governor for , the rich state of Falcon as a re ward for his state achievements. PREMATURE PROTEST Russian Comment on Knight Commander Incident St. Petersburg, Aug. 11. The Novoe Vremya says: r "Events have proved that Britain's protest against the sinking of the ' Knight Commander was premature. . Britain expected to -obtain the support of America in accordance with her old habit bf expecting fathers to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for 'her. In view of the decision of the court Bri tain will have to bojw to accomplished facts and await a more favorable op- ' portunity to make a sortie against Rus- sia. Calm consideration has shown the Americans that theywould have acted the same as Russia in similar circum stances. The so-called Russian pirates come stainless out of the incident." SUMMER jJUNKET .' t - Alleged Tour of Inspection of Navy Yards Washington, Aug. 11. Secretary of the Navy Morton and a party of his guests left the navy yard here today on board the United States dispatch boat Dolphin for what is called a tour of inspection of navy yards, but which is really a summer junketing trip.

LIBERTY OR DEATH Pursued Desperado Commit ted Suicide Helena, Hont., Aug. 11. Antonio Si monek, deputy jailer at the county jail, was shot three times and probably fa tally wounded this afternoon by Isaac Gravelle, a Northern Pacific Railroad dynamiter, who had just been returned to that Institution by the district court, where he was on trial on a charge of having robbed a powder house. No sooner had he entered the corridor of the jail and been turned over to the jailer than Gravelle drew a gun and compelled the jailer and his assistant to throw up their hands. He then com pelled Simonek open the door. No sooner had he done so than Gravelle opened fire on him, three shots enter ing his body. Pursued by a crowd of court house officials, Gravelle started down the street, bullets flying thick around him. Seeing that escape was Impossible, Gravelle jumped in the basement of Governor Toole's resi dence, two blocks from the jail, and committed suicide. FOOD NOT CONTRABAND . . Joint Action With the United States Suggested London, Aug. 11. In the House ot Commons today Mr. James Brice de nied that foodstuffs had ever been re garded as contraband of war. He sug gested that the government take joint action with the United States in dealing with the Russian claims in this respect. Sir Charles Dilke thought that the important right of search and seizure should be preserved. He doubted whether the Russians were actuated by a desire to interfere with British com merce. Premier Balfour said that the govern ment felt it their duty to protest in the strongest manner against the idea that food not intended for the "use of a bel ligerent force should be treated as con traband, and the government might if necessary make representations as to other articles besides food. He was perfectly confident that no other neutral ship would again be sunk. It was fully agreed that the sinking of a neutral ship was an international outrage, ana the government had expressed that view in the clearest way possible. Reception for Cleveland Sandwich, N.

WILLIAMS'BREAKDOWN Report Published in New York Is Not Credited i Washington, Aug. ii. A report tnac Representative John Sharp Williams of Mississippi had broken down in health, which was printed in New York this afternoon, caused surprise in Wash ington tonight.

Sheehaii Wants the Democratic Gongressiona Headquarters Established in New York. Parker's Speech Praised by Press and People By THOMAS TIBBLES BOLTS FUSION PROGRAM Nebraska Populists Not Har monious on Agreement With Democrats . Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 11. After a ses sion lasting all night the Democrats, and Populists of Nebraska completed their state ticket here today. The di vision of offices gives the Populists five and the Democrats three. The com pleted ticket is as follows: Governor George W. Berge, Popu list, of Lincoln. Lieutenant governor Dr. A. Town send, Democrat, of Franklin county. Secretary of state R. E. Watzke, Democrat, Richardson county. State treasurer John M. Osborne, Populist, of Pawnee county. Auditor J. S. Canady, Populist, cf Kearney county. Attorney general Edward Whalen, Democrat, of Holt county. Land commissioner A. A. Worsley, Populist, of Boyd county. Superintendent of public instruction Albert Softley, Populjst, of Perkins county. The completion of fusion is a victory for William J. Bryant who was opposed to Thomas E. . Watson, the Populist candidate for president.. Thomas H. Tibbies, candidate for vice president on the Populist ticket, heads the bolt against the fusion agree ment entered into by the Democrats and Populists of this state, and today attended a bolters' convention, held for the purpose of repudiating, the action of the two conventions on fusion. Nearly 100 delegates, representing twenty-seven counties, were present and a committee was appointed to take steps toward organizing clubs along the line of the old grange, reviving the People's party and working against the fusion ticket in Nebraska. The old se cret oath plan of the grange will be used, and as soon as the club movement is started Mr. Tibbies and others will issue a call for a straight Populist con vention to nominate a state ticket. BUTCHERS' STRIKE ON IN NEW YORK New York, August 11. Some of 3,500 butchers and meat handlers who went on strfke here Wednesday spent today in attacking the men who had taken their places and in trying to destroy the property of the packers and whole sale meat concerns In First avenue. There were half-hearted attempts at violence all day, but nobody was se riously hurt. There were but two ar rests and the business of the packers did not suffer materially. There was no cessation to the buying of cattle in the west for immediate delivery in this market and the supply of dressed beef on hand is still ahead the demand. Prices remained the same all day today and there is no likehood of an increase this week. The non-union drivers had the hard est experience. Every wagon that was sent out by the United Dressed Beef Company and by the Swartschild & Swetzberg Company was watched by union pickets. The strikers' advisory board hopes to work up a general boycott by the end of the week and to prevent the deliv ery 'of ice to all retail meat dealers who buy from the wholesalers against whom the union had ordered the strike. The United Dressed Beef Company and nearly all other concerns announc ed tonight that they were doing about 75 per cent of their normal 'business every day and that by the beiginning of next week they would be running again at their full capacity. GLENN AT WINTON : - He Speaks at a Reunion of Confederate Veterans Suffolk, Va., Aug. 11. Special. A large crowd assembled today at Wln ton, the capital of Hertford county, N. j C, the occasion being primarily a re i union of Confederate veterans. The principal address of the day was de livered by Hon. R. B. Glenn, the Dem ocratic nominee for governor. His speech, a lengthy one, was pregnant with patriotism and politics. His mes sage to Democrats was enthusiastic and encouraging. J. PENCE Washington, Aug. U. Special. Therd is a strong probability that Democratic congressional headquarters will ba moved to New York. At least that is the wish of William F. Sheehan, Judfj Parker's closest political friend. Chair man Cowherd is now considering the advisability of moving to the metropo lis. He will go to New York in a. few days and discuss the matter with Chairman Taggart, Mr. Sheehan and members of the executive committee; and if it is their wisdom that the con gressional . campaign should be con ducted from New York, then Chairman Cowherd will make the move. In any event the literary bureau will remain in Washington, for the speeches can be printed here at less cost and tho franked envelopes : of congressmen, which the committee is using, ara more accessible. All talk in political circles at the national capital today related to Judge Parker's speech of acceptance and its reception by press and public' The big dailies in the east, with the exception of The Sun, are delighted with the speech and praise it as a document of great ability. - The more the speech is read the more it is appreciated. It is in no sense a Rooseveltian bid for votes, but a dignified, modest and straightforward statement of the can didate's position. It will prove a splen did campaign paper, though one can easily see from reading it that it has not the tone of. such a document. On- of the strongest features of the speech is Judge Parker's declaration that he will not be a candidate for re-electiovi. This is in such contrast with Presi dent Roosevelt's every act since he landed in the White House that it is bound to have its effect upon the peo ple of this country. Mr. Roosevelt; has not permitted his ambition to bother his conscience or his official actn, even if it was to go to the extent of tieing tip with Clarkson, Payne, Addicks and others whom he has so bitterly de nounced in his amateur political days. A scheme has been projected by Washington negroes for raising' a fund to prevent lynchings. It is proposed to raise a fund of $40,000 between now and next March to be invested as a reserve fund ' for a "law and order' building and loan association. The plan is to protect by this means ''law abiding citizens of America," and to this end to offer rewards of from $250 to $500 for "the arrest and conviction, of the leader of any mob which de stroys the life of any American citi zen." Indemnities in the same amount are to be paid to the relatives of .vic tims of lynchings and to the relatives of officers who may be killed in trying to enforce the law. John C. Dancy, register of deeds of the district, has returned from Kan sas City, where he addressed an audi ence of ' 12,000 people, openipg the cam paign for the Republican national com mittee. "Judge Parker's speech of accept ance," said Senator Carmack of Ten nessee today, "Is a forcible, clear, straightforward statement. It is patri otic and . statesmanlike and win strengthen the growing opinion that ttacr party has nominated a strong, brave, safe and able man. Without any con-' scious effort to do so Judge Parker hns made more vivid than ever the con trast between himself and his oppo nent." President Roosevelt's callers came away from the White House today en deavoring to make people believe that the Terrible Teddy was greatly please ! with Judge Parker's ppeech. This out ward effort to make it appear that tiiO president was In high feather canio from old mossy back .Republicans who went to the White House during the day. Instead of being pleased Mr. Roosevelt is a terribly scared man. The constantly growing belief, which Is In dicated in the papers he reads every day, that he will never be elected presi dent of this country 13 giving him much concern. And Judge Parker's speech is giving Republicans concern everywhere. . This Is admitted in private conversation by high up Republicans, and1 Mr. Roose velt is no exception. No man in this country likes to face a crowd and talk better than the president; but the par-, ty leaders have put the check on him, and he is so fearful of the outcome that for once he Is willing to do anything they say. It; was his desire to go to Boston and whoop up the veterans at' the G. A. R. encampment, but his Po litical tutors vetoed the plan, and ."the president is going to hug close to Sag amore Hill and the White House until the day of election. W. H. Thompson, treasurer of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, called on the president today to ask him to visit the fair. Mr. Roosevelt said he would like to do so, but could not with out breaking hl rule. A r
