third Endorsement of Parker and
two-thirds provocation to Bryan,
Bryan has seized the cue he has Long
been waiting for, and now openly
assails the quondam compromise
candidate" as tool of Mammon and
under the influence of the corpora
tions." 1t is all off with harmony, so
far as Judge Parker's once assumed
ability to bring it about is concerned.
Mr.. McCutcheon pleasant and
pointed cartoon yesterday neatly
expressed the situation: Mr.. Cleve-
land warmly EN- bracing the none too
receptive Parker-the compromise
candidate" who was expected mira
culously TO unite opposites and mix
oil and water-while the frenzled
Bryan, brandishing knife and toma-
hawk, executes scalp dance, to the
despair of the disconsolate harmon
izer" who stands by and weeps.
Mr.. Cleveland may or may not
have really meant to further Judge
Parker's candidacy by formally in
dorsing it; but, so far as the silent
ones status as compromise goes,
he has clearly done more mischief in
five minutes than could be'repaired
in as many months. A few papers
already admit this. And, as if to
kill off the compromise candidate"
notion altogether, he not only comes
out squarley for Parker. ropes and
puts his brand on that former party
maverick, but even states the kind
of platform be expects Parker to
stand on. It must be "short and to
the purpose" It must wholly avoid
the useless and foolish vagaries'
formerly ''indulged in''-must, in
fine, be kind of platform so radical
ly different from Bryan miscellar-
eous Kansas City piece of joiner work
that no Bryanite can possibly stand
on or support it without recanting
his Organism.
Mean while Mr.. Bryan promptly
avails himself of the opportunity to
get out in the open and denounce
Judge Parker as evidently cor
poration man" whatever that
monster of the populistic fancy may
mean, and no better than the ''bunco
steerer" Cleveland himself. Unless
current signs fail the Bryan watch
word will be Anybody (even Hearst)
to beat Cleveland's man, Parker. "
Nevertheless the CHEEKY Brooklyn
Eagle, always Mark Tapley, pro-
fesses to see the dawn of party har-
mony reddening in the sky, and COM
fortably declares that "Mr. Cleve-
land now recognizes the unifying
force Of Judge Parker's name"
Possibly. But unless Mr.. Bryan's
following of 10000 or so voters be
left out Of the reckoning, that uni
tying force" is pretty badly impaired
by Mr.. Cleveland's manifesto.-Ml-

Oshkosh, Wis. Sept. 2-The entire

form. No action had been taken when
the convention recessed until after

The convention reassembled at 8

fight was precipitated by the reports
OF the resolutions committee; consist
ing of a majority and two minority
reports. 'Fhe majority report, which
is advocated by the faction headed by

nouncing the present system of pri-
mary elections, which is to be voted
upon and made operative by the peo-
pie at the election next November.

The intimation that the majority
report was dictated by the "stalwart''-
leaders of the Republican party was
bitterly resented by the men who
signed it.

ORDER TYING UP INDEPENDENT
PACKERS LIMITED TO CHI

MOVEMENT OF LIVE STOCK PARALYzED
STRIKE OF HANDLERS CAUSES
COMPLETE CESSATION OF
WORK IN STOCK YARDS.

Chicago, Sept. 2.--The strike order
of President Donnelly with regard tc
! Independent packing plants is to apply
only to those plants in Chicago and
st. Louis.
1T was President Donnelly's idea,"
said national officer of the striking
butchers organization, "to tie up the
independent packers and bring on a
meat shortage in order to awaken pub
lie interest in the strike. This was
opposed because it was felt such &C.
tion would hurt us most by throwing
our men out of employment in large
numbers Confning the order to Chi
cago and St. Louis is not an effort to
produce a meat famine, but is simply
a case of cooperation with the strik-
ing live stock handlers. Comparatively
few Independent houses will be af-
fected."
''Stock handlers" said President
Donnelly, "are on strike only in Chi
cago and st. Louis. In Chicago only
the Independents within the stock
yards enclosure will be of necessity

dependent rackinghouses will not be
permitted to dress cattle handled on
the hoof by nonunion men. The fate
OF the outside independent packers de-
pends on their ability to secure stock
without recourse to the Stock Yards
company"
Not bullock, hog or sheep has been
driven out of the stock yards since the
order to the handlers went into force.
A committee of live stock owners and
commission men has waited upon
DOnnelly and requested permission to
load cattle now in the yards for ship
ment to TIE east. The request was
referred to the allied trades council
After several hours consideration
the conference board of the allied
trades council refused to call off the
strike at the plants of the independent
packers.
Wholesalers have already begun to
raise the price of meats and it is
stated that before another week is
over Chicago will be without meat.

General Stakelberg, who is among

General Marozovsky, who was also
wounded, commanded the artillery

SECOND DAYS BATTLE AT LAO.
YANG OF THE MOST DESPER-
ATE CHARACTER.
RACES FROM DAWN UNTIL MIDNIGHT
ARTILLERY FIRE NEVER CEASES,
WHILE INFANTRY CHARGES
ARE CONTINUOUS.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 2.-The second
days battle at Liaoyang was of the
most desperate character. 1t ragged
continuously from dawn until mid
night and the slaughter must have
been immense. At in the evening,
after holding his outer positions all
day in the face of the most desperate
charges, General Kuropatkin gave the
order to retire upon the main works
about the city. The Japanese assaults
during the day had been directed
principally against the Russian center,
a little east of Maietung hill, near the
railroad and three miles southwest OF
Liaoyang. Nothing approaching the
severity of the infantry and artillery
fire here had been heretofore expert
enced in this war. General kondratz-
Vitch'S division bore the brunt and
suffered the most. BayOnet charges
succeeded each other in rapid success
sion, while the artillery duel never
ceased for a moment. No attempt was
made in the official advices to esti-
mate the number of guns the Japanese
used, except that they had many hum
dreds. Each gun carries $50 charges
and these must have been expended
many times, as several hundred thou
sand shells were fired between sun
rise and sunset.
General kuropatkin's order to fall
back on the Notifications was probably
due to the receipt of information that
the japanese had succeeded in cross
ing the Tait3e river, northeast Oh Lao
yang, although Gene dis Renneli-
kampff's and MandaritaH's divisions
had been especially placed in position
in this direction to checkmate such
move. The Japanese crossed at
point called SakankankWantun, twenty
miles east and somewhat above Lao
yang, and marched in force directly
westward with the evident object Of
cutting the Russian line of cOmmuni-
cation with Mukden. Their exact
strength was not established, but
division was made out.
japanese Resume the Attack.
AS soon as the Japanese found that
the Russians were retiring from their
outer positions southwark they re-
sumed the attack there, although it
was then quite dark. Thus pressed
the Russians arrested their move
ment to the rear and again faced the
Japanese. With the view of eventual
retirement from their outer positions
the Russians had dug large number
of pits, with stakes concealed in their
bottoms. The pits were artfully con-
'cealed among the high Chinese corn.
When the Japanese charged after the
Russians they fell into the pits in
hundreds and were engulfed and i'm
paled Oh the stakes and their lines
were thrown into confusion. When
the Russians faced about and retulne!

Old Maids.

The true "old maid," like the true
poet, is born, not made, old maidish-
ness being question of innate char
acter rather than of incidental condi-
ton. There are old maids of every
state and age and sex, says Ellen
Thorneycroft Fowler, creatures who
revel in fuss, and batten upon DETAIL
and abide in the narrowest of narrow
ruts. Do we not all know married
women with large families who are,
nevertheless, old maids to the back
bone, just as we know adorable elderly
spinsters who have the minds of girls
and the hearts of mothers? And do we
not also know numbers Of the $50 called)
stronger sex whose absorption in trifes
and avidity for gossip proclaim them
old maids of the purest water?

Toxic, Sept. 2.-At daybreak Thurs
day the Japanese army on the left de-
livered a fierce and successful assault
against the heights to the west of
Hainliatun and the high ground to the
west of Shoushanpao. 1t pierced the
Russian lines and probably later
forced the retirement of the Russian
troops from their position on the right
and center. Marquis Oyama telegraphs
that his losses in these assaults were
heavy.

anese pressure was too great to per-
NIT its being executed, Kuropatkin
probably fearing that retrograde
movement at that time might result
in a rout. A dispatch from Toxic,
however, bringing the action up to a
later hour, says that the Russian right
and center is falling back, pursued by
The Japanese.
Russian official advices say that
General Kuroki, who was reported as
moving northward on the Russian
left, has thrown pontoons over the
Taitse river and has crossed with one
division, while others are following.
