He will be tried tOday-if he wakes up.
 ANOTHER SAMARITAN NAILED.

These people stand around the jail win dows and when they have an opportun- ity pour whiskey through the grate into a cup held by the poor fellow on the inside who is to be relieved. A Mexican thus employed was captured yesterday and jailed along with the other sufferers. There is a severe ordinance against passing things through the jail windows.

They believe it is becoming plain that
Russia is willing 10 fight Japan II con-

The Russians are confident OF their
ability to easily defeat Japan and are
said to be anxious to settle definitely
her position in Eastern politics and end
her ambitions to oppose Russia's prog

The belief is attributed TO the Japa-

consent TO opening ports in Manchuria.

votes OF 65 TO nominate. The new com

results. as allotted TO each Of the chief

them:
Mr.. Wachter. Baltimore city. % dele

Jackson insists that he will carry
every county on the Eastern Shore ex-

the above estimate OF the combine s
strength is a most conservative one.
It is generally conceded that Mudd will
carry out his part Of the contract. and
may add the scalp Of Calvert county to
his belt
So this brings it up TO the city again.

portant thing. There is no doubt OF the
Congressman plurality. and he has the
prestige OF having defeated the machine

one thing to carry the city for himself
