Paris, Sept 24. The Matin's St.
Petersburg correspondent telegraphs as
follows ': :"
'.Telegrams of which the general
staff have as yet no knowledge reached
the Emperor at 4 o'clock this morn
ing. I can affirm that they concern
Port Arthur, "regarding which place
the greatest anxiety prevails at court.
The Japanese are now engaged in a
general assault, which is more- furious
than its predecessors, attacking the
town on three sides simultaneously
and employ tog their whole forces, be
ing determined to finish the business.
Russian mines blew, up whole battal
ions. : General : Fock especially dis
tinguished himself, directing' the fire
from the wall which the. Japanese
reached after indescribable massacre. '
"The whole of Admiral Togo's
and Vice Admiral Kamimura's squad
rons are aiding in the struggle, which,
it is feared here, will be final. The
besieged forces are fighting as in a
furnace. A perfect storm of shell is
falling on the town, port and fortress
from the whole hill and roadstead.
General Stoessel is going from fort to
fort, encouraging the defenders in their
desperate efforts.
"In St. Petersburg the facts concern
ing the tragic event, which perhaps
will terminate by a glorious fall of
Port Arthur, are wholly unknown.
At court hope has not yet been en
tirely abandoned."

Cabarrus Conuty Convention This
Afternoon Named Full
County Ticket.
W. G. NEWELL FOR THE SENATE,
BUCHANAN FOR COUNTY COMMIS
SIONER AND A. W. MOOSE
FOR THE HOUSE.
Blackburn Addresses the Audience After
Adjournment.
Although the Republican primaries
of last week spoke pretty emphatically
on some thins and nmi" andiHat
the county convention today carried
the day the way of the caucus. Dur
ing the past week there was a good
many caucuses held in Concord by
leaders of the g.o. p. and what these
had to do with the making of today's
ticket is now seen in the net result of
this afternoon's meeting.
The convention today was ushered
in by a caucus. In talking to several
prominent Republicans through the
morning THE TRIBUNE tried to get
a forecast of what was to be decreed
in the county meeting. There seemed
to be an uncertainty. Mr. Kestler
was undecided as to whether he would
accept the nomination offered him by
the primaries of last Saturday. An
other said, "we don't care nothing
about primaries," and in comparing the
result of the primaries of a week ago
and the convention decrees of today
it can well be seen that the primaries
are only an evil of the necessary variety
and that they do not indicate anything
but what the caucuses endorse.
The convention itself which follow
ed the caucus was pretty well attended
There was a good lot of delegates in
attendance. The more prominent of
the party leaders went from head
quarters to the court house. It was
near half past 1 o'clock when Chair
man Buchanan of the Executive Com
mittee called the convention to order.
Messrs. W. F. Hagler and Louis
Strieker were called to act as secretary.
The call for the convention was read
by Mr. G. C Goodman, temporary
chairman, who said, "this is not a Re
publican convention but an anti-Democratic
convention, and all who are
opposed to Democratic policies "are
entitled to sit in the' convention."
.The roll call was made by Chair
man Goodman and all precincts were
found represented. This, brought the
convention to nominations.
W. G. Newell and A, W.' Moose
were nominated for the State Senate.
M. L. Buchanan made motion that
the place be left vacant for the Execu
tive Committee to fill. This was carried.-
' - -, ,' -
For the House A. W. ' Moose and
W. G. Newell were placed in nom
ination. Mr. Moose was nominated,
the tame being . made unanimous.
For Sheriff, Messrs. M. F. Teeter, .
P. Deal and W W. Burleyson were
put in nomination. Teeter was nom

the Register of Deeds. A letter from
G. Ed. Kestler declining the nomina
tion was read. Mr. Kestler being out of
the race other nominations were called
for. J. Harvey Dorton was placed in
nomination. Jno. A. Sims spoke for
Mr. Dorton's "Ami emocrarit
faith. 2
Dr. S. A. Grier was placed in nom
ination by No. 10. Dorton carried
No. 10 in the primaries, and the town
ship split the vote between Dorton
and Grier. Dorton was nominated
by a good majority, and, on motion,
by a unanimous vote.

1 township, was nominated by accla-.
mation.

M. L. Buchanan, F. D. Brumley, W.
W. Burleyson, W. H. Moose and S.
W. Winecoff.
NEWELL FOR THE SENATE.
At this point Dr. S. A. Grier, who
was out at the time, objected to the
action taken in postponing the nomi
nation of State Senate. Dr. Grier
moved to re-consider, saying that it
looked like the convention was afraid
to name a candidate for the Senate.
The motion was carried and Mr. New
ell was nominated, closely followed by
the nomination of Dr. 'Grier. The
roll call resulted in the nomination of
Dr. S. A. Grier, who was promptly on
his feet and emphatically declined to
accept the nomination. There was
following this announcement a charge
of votes to Newell and in a few min
utes the nomination of Newell was
made unanimous. The 'nomination of
J. B. Spence, of Mecklenburg, for the
State Senate was endorsed and Esq.
W. G. Newell made a short speech,
thanking the convention for the nomi
nation and said .that he would meet
any one anywhere, including the Dem
ocratic nominee and the entire com
mittee of the Democratic party.
Following the adjournment Mr. E.
S. Blackburn addressed the audience.
