government 1t Is authoritatiyely stated
tonight, has no more Information thah
the public of happenings in the heigh-
borhood of Port Arthur.
The lack of official news from southern
Lao Tungs was responsible for the usual
number of rumors yesterday, among them
the report from Che Foo and elsewhere
that the Russian squadron had made
sortie from Port Arthur, and that the
Japanese had begun a land attack upon
the fortress. The general staff could
neither confirm nor deny these stories
any more than similar ones during the
past forty-eight hours. However ii was
pointed out that while a preliminary
shelling of the land defenses of Port Ar
thur was not improbable, it is too early
to expect news OF a serious assault when
could not be pressed with any prospect OF
success until siege guns have been land
ed at Dalny brought overland twenty
miles and emplaced, and all the arduous
preliminary work of a systematic attack
against the outer works of Port Arthur

DANIEL J. SULLY
BECOMES NETTLED
REsENTS THE ASSERTION THAT
HE HAD INTERFERED IN THE
DEALINGS BETWEEN THE RE-
cEIvERS AND CREDITORS.

New York, June 7.-When the hearing
ceedings was resumed today before Re-
feree McGown, Mr.. Sully in his examina-
ton by Bothby, of counsel for the re-
ceivers, became somewhat nettled over
the persistent questioning affecting the re-
latlons of the F. w Reynolds company
time Of failure. He also resented an as
sertion that he had interferred in the
dealings between the receivers and the
creditors, and had impeded the efforts of
the receivers to straighten out the firm s
affairs. Mr.. Sully, with much warmth,
asserted that he was a creditor of sully
& Co., as well as others. He said that
Sully & Company virtually acted as
agents or brokers for the F. w. Rey-
nolds company. When asked to. show
by the books where, and in what con-
dition the Reynolds company account ap-
peared Sully said he thought 1t should
be the business of the receivers to have
their accountants determine that mat
ter.
He contended that the form of Daniel
j. Sully e. Co. with the same partners
it contained before the suspension, still
existed in spite of the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings.
The efforts of receivers counsel does not
show that Mrs. Suly was down as
creditor for more than 100000 was mis-
directed, Sully said. He explained that
the account in her name was really the
account of ID. ]. & Co. Mrs. Sullys real
account, he said, was transferred to the
name of Mrs. Lantry on the day of the
suspension because he did not wish it
to appear in her real name on the books
1t was announced at the cotton ex-
change today by Superintendent King
on behalf of the committee of creditors
of Sully e. Co. that all claims should be
in by Thursday of this week

tomorrow for the purpose Of naming
delegates at large to the national conven-
ton at st. Louis and to elect state cen
trail and state executive committeeman.
Though the delegates are rather pathetic
as regards the presidential race and are
practically certain to vote for an un-
instructed delegation to the national con-
vention, the contest for the control of the
party machinery promises to develop into
one of the hardest fights seen In recent
years. On one side are arrayed Governor
Beckham and the administration forces
supporting Lewis McQuown of Bowling
Green for chairman of the state central
committee.
Opposing them is what is known as the
"anti-machine" element led by United
States Senator Blackburn and McCreary
and Congressman D. II. Smith. support
ing Congressman ]. N. Kehoe for chair
man of the state central committee. The
administration men when the contest TO
organize the committee comes up will pre-
sent the name of Governor Beckham for
temporary chairman. The administra-
tons opponents made a bold move today
by announcing that their candidate for
temporary chairman will be Benjamin
Johnson of Nelson, Governor Beckhams 8

men claim that poll of the Nelson coun-
ty delegates has shown a majority against
Governor Beckham.

try to force Instructions unless compelled
