Judge Alton B Parker's opponents are now fighting in the last ditch, but they are fighting with a tenacity and a desperation that will cause concern among his managers until th nomination actually occute. The fighting today has not been especially in Judge Parker's favor, but noon finds him able to count a St Louis, July 6. The Demo cratic National Convention met to day, listened to an extended bpeech from Representative John Sharp Williams, its temporary chairman; appointed the committees neceskary to perfect a permanent organiza tion and adjourned. In a session lasting 2 hours and 50 minutes, one striking incident overshadowed all other proceedings. That was the enthusiastic and prolonged cheer ing which greeted the name of Grover Cleveland. While the out bursts which greeted the name of the former Democratic President before its last syllable had fallen from the lips of the temporary chairman was noteworthy in itself, it was magnified by contrast with the greeting accorded the actual persons of men who stood for all that haB been opposed to Mr. Cleve land within the party during the last eight years. James K. Jones, of Arkansas, chairman ot the Na tional Committee, went on to the still platform and took his seat unno and ticed. Practically no greeting was given bim wnen ne raced tne con vention with the gavel in hand Other stalwart lieutenants of the Nebraskan entered the ball unao claimed, and lastly, Mr. Bryan himself, who for the first time dur log two national campaigns, was greeted with Silence. Eight min utes after the gavel fell the twice named candidate of his party passed the main entrance and sought his seat, unheralded and unheeded. A few minutes later he arose and pushed his way to a seat nearer the -aisle, where, standing a moment to ' give greetings to friends, Le Was caught Bight of and applauded. But the measure of applause was but a ripple when compared to the storm called forth by the mention ot Mr. Cleveland's name. Listening at ttntively to the doctrine laid down by Mr. Williams, the conservatives found occasion for their first demon bi ration when reference was made to the record of former President (iiover Clevel nd. AH the shackled party enthusiasm which had laid dormant through two national campaigns, was released by the touch of a trigger. The name of Cleveland was ech oed Irom a thousand throats. Hats, handkerchiefs and arms were waived, delegates and spectators stood on their chairs and the last c nmittee on permanent organiza tion was made. Representative Champ Clark, who was chosen permanent chairman, addressed the convention. He had prepared and furnished to the press a speech of some length. The h nr was so late when he gained the platform, however, that he spoke about 300 words and left his audience to read the remainner. The ovation given to Mr. Bryan was one of the greatest events transpiring at any of the notable events for which the immense Coliseum is tamed. It was begun before the afternoon session ot the convention had been called to or der, and continued for 12 minutes with so much ruror that Temporary Chairman Williams and all his as sistants, including 100 policemen were unable to restore order, (juiet came only after the Parker forces joined in and by persistent efforts turned the tide by a counter great demonstration for the New Yorker, so that the .favorite candidate for the nomination for President fi nally reaped the harvest of entbu. siasm sown for Mr. Bryan. The inconsistencies ot a gieat unorgan ized body, such as is formed by the. spectators, delegates and alternates making a great political conven tion, was aptly illustrated in today's gathering. Thousands of throats cheered Bryan as lustily as they did when he was chosen eight years ago. Great tumult to the unitia- tive would have beeii proof positive that the Nebraskan was the hero of bis party. And yet when a ban ner bearing the inscription "Geor gia's Parker delegation" was taken to the platform and held aloft where all could see, the applause was directed that way. Wiibout pausing in their enthusiasm the great throng of men and women shouting the name of Bryau switched to Parker, as if their only ambition was to cheer and make a great noise. - Rssslaai Force a Hjht St. Petersburg July 7. A few nights ago Admiral Togo attempted to repeat tbe Japanese exploit with torpedo boats at Wei Hai Wei, dur ing the China-Japanese war by sending torpedo boat destaoyers into the harbor of Port Arthur for the purpose of sinking ships at their anchorage, but the-attempt ended iif disastrous failure. Four torpedo boat destroyers succeeded in creeping into the harbor, which was not protected by booms, but only one escaped. Two were sunk by the shore batteries and one was crippled. The reckless bravery ot tbe Ja panes in going to almost certain destruction excites nothing but ad miration here. Tbe channel at Port Arthur is so tortuous and strewn with wrecks that evidently it was regarded as unnecessary to use a boom. On account o the difficulty of getting into the harbor the feat is considered in naval circles to be fully as daring as that of tbe Japan ese at Wei Hai Wei, where Japan ese torpedo boats in a storm and 1.

My position has brought satisfaction and even happi ness to many humble homes in North Carolina and the negro whose political control I have fought with so much earnestness, has turned to me with covered with ice were jumped over gratitude for my support of his right tbe booms protecting the harbor to publio school education.

The Central News has t dispatch from St. Peters burg stating that early Wednesday morning General Kashtalinsky troops surprised and attacked the Japanese outposts at Lantyansan. Advancing through a terrible rainstorm, the Rus sians reached the outlying vide ttes of ie Japanese without an alarm being raised. Tney finally rushed the camp of the main outpost, killing everyone in it. The Japanese were reinforced and made three fierce attacks, but were repulsed. The advance of a second Russian battalion followed the first to safety. The Russians had three hun dred casualties.

The name of Bryan was yelled lustily, but in vain. Shouting of "Grover" and 'Cleveland" was renewed and the Bryan following was hissed. The greatest significance was, attached to the showing made by the con servatives. St. Louis, July 7. The Demo cratic National convention loaay adopted the report of the commit tees on ruiej. credentials ana per manent organization. The session opened at 10 o'clock; an hour later, . r .1 tooK a recess untu p. m., auu au- iourned at 6:20 until 10 o'clock to morrow. During tne day, several speeches were made, chief of which was Wm. Jennings Bryan's effort to overthrow the report of the cre dentials committee and seat con testing delegates from Illinois. Tbe controversy was ended oy tni iection of the minority report of the committee by a vote of 647 nays to 299 ayes. Though Mr. Bryan's speech and his appearance on the floor of the convention was cheered far beyond any previous demonstration, it made few votes. The assignment of delegates proved the correctness of previous esti mates of tbe division between those who favor tbe radicals and those w bo-are supporting.tha-xonserva-tive element which is now in con trol. When tbe result of the contest was announced, th report of the Tuesday afternoon news was re ceived here announcing the death of Mrs. Irria Carter, of near Pel-ham.- Mrs. Cai ter had been in declining health for some time, but had never been confined to her bed until a short while before she died. She i i was a true unrisuan anu uveu a pure and useful life, and when the summons came for her to come up higher she was willing and ready to go. She leaves two daughters, Mrs. Thomas carter tat wnose home she died) and Mrs. Lame Jer rell. and one brother, Mr. Mastin Swann. ot this place. -She was laid to rest Wednesday afternoon in the old family burial ground, attended by a large crowd of sorrowing friends and neighbors, amendment drove many of them out of the State. An effort to reduce their publio schools would send thousands more of them away from us. In this hour when our industrial development demands more labor and not less, it becomes of the utmost importance that we shall make no mistako in dealing with that race which does a very large part of the work, of actual hard phys ical labor in the State. I appeal to the generous, high-minded North Car olinians to realize that we are con fronted with a condition which de mands statesmanship and not passion and prejudice. While holding these views, it is needful for me to say that I have recognized that heretofore much, injustice has in many instances beeen done to the whites in that in the same county, schools were frequently maintained for six or seven months for the colored in certain districts and for only two or three months for the whites in other districts. It has been the aim of this administration to cor rect this inequality. This has been done without any constitutional amendment, but under the plain pro visions of our law. It may be of inter est to us to know in this connection the facts about the expenditure of money for the publio schools from 1883 down to 1903. In 1883 there Was spent for the schools for whites $306,805.55; for colored $260,955.87. ' There was spent $1.04 per capita for white children and $1.50 per capita for colored chil Russians lost 100 men killed and 17 officers and 273 men wounded. The apanese lost heavi'y. The details apparently show that it is a duplicate I account of the action fougbt at Lant yansan.

In 1887 there was a difference of nine cents in favor of , white children. In 1889 there was no census of children. In 1890 there was a difference of 16 cents in favor of white children. In 1891 there was a difference of 15 cents in favor of white children. In 1892 a difference of 15 cents in favor of white children. In 1895 a difference of 51 cents in favor of white chilrden.

In 1899 a difference of 21 cents in favor of white children. In 1900 a differ ence of 26 cents in favor of white chil dren. In 1901 a difference of 43 cents in favor of white children. In 1902 there was spent for the education of wjutechildren $784,454.62, and for the education of the colored children $249,137.57 a per capita expenditure for the whites of $1.72 and for colored of $1.13 a difference in favor of the whites of 59 cents per capita. For 1903 there was spent for the education of white chilrden $865,700.17 and for the education of colored children $252,820.54 ; per capita expenditure of $1.89 for whites and $1.14 for the col ored; a difference in faVor of the whites of 75 cents per capita. These are the facts and they'speak for them selves. . '. t . Z The danger which I have apprehend ed and which I now apprehend is not that we should do too much for the negro, but that becoming unmindful of our duty, to him we sliall do too little. Having taken from him thr power to vote, it becomes a strong people to safeguard with the utmost care every right which the negro lias. "We hold our title to power by ten ure of service to God," and we can never hope to win his approval if we do injustice to the weak. Let us cast away all fear of rivalry with the ne groall apprehension that he shall ev er overtake us in the race of life. We are the thoroughbreds and should have no fear of winning the race against a commoner 'stock. The - problem of dealing with the liquor traffio is admittedly the most difficult one which confronts the gov ernment. It has to deal with the ap peites of men and In a free govern ment, where the people rule, any leg islation tending to check the manufac ture and sale of liquor is compelled to run counter to the great principle of non-interference with the personal habits of the individual. A demo cratio government therfore is always loath to deal with this problem and never does so except when publio opinion has reached the point at which It "becomes necessary to pnfc ' that publio opinion into legislation. ' The last Legislature, guided by this rule and fully recognizing its obliga tion within the limits of the Constitu tion to respond to popular demand, adopted what is known as the Watts Law. That law has met with much criticism and much praise. It proceed ed along lines well etsahlished in this State, For more than twenty years each succeeding Legislature has adopt' ed a bill prohibiting the manufacture and sale of liquor within a given number of milos of various churches and school houses. The number of such places in which the manufacture and sale of liquor has heretofore been prohibited runs up Into the thousands. It is perhaps not too much to say that by means of these various acts, liquor could neither be manufactured nor sold in nine-tenths of the territory of the State. I recall one whole county that was made a prohibition county by the simple device of prohibiting the manufacture and sale of liquor within a certain number of miles of the vari ous churches and school houses in the county. The Legislature of 1903 find ing nine-tenths of the territory of the State V dry," decided to take direct steps to drive the manufacture and sale Continued on Fourth page.
