AT ROsEMOUNT TODAY
PARKER'S RESIGNATION NOT TO
INFLUENCE THE CAMPAIGN.
Judge Declared That He Would Deter.
mine His Own Action Without
Anybody's Advice.

ESOPUS. N. Y, August 3-Mr and Mrs
Edward c. Wall of Wisconsin reached
Rosemount today. remained to luncheon
and spent the afternoon with Judge Parker
and his family. Mr.. Wall, who was Wis
coustn's favorite son for the presidency.
and his wife are en- route. to Europe.
Whether Judge Parker resigns his posi-
ton of chief judge of the court Of appeals
before or after August 8. his decision will
rot be Influenced by practical politicians In
terested in his campaign for the presi-
dency. In manner SO emphatic as to
leave no doubt of his displeasure at the
speculation published in relation to his ap-
proaching withdrawal from judicial duties
Judge Parker said today that he would de-
termine what his action will be without
assistance or advice from anybody, unless
1t is from his associates on the oench
When Judge Parker resigns the an
r.ouncement will be made at Rosemount.
He has declared positively that any gossip
on this subject coming from any other
source is unauthorized and merely specula-
tive.
What Parker Believes.
Judge Parker believes that the two domi-
nant parties should offer the best material
they have for nominations to all judicial
positions. and that voters should be moved
party preferences. Not only does he hold
this view concerning judicial positions, but
he believes the same qualifications should
be possessed by appointees to important
commissions where the officials are intrust-
ed with authority to construe the laws.
The fresh. bracing atmosphere of today
was a relief after the recent hot weather.
and Judge and Mrs. Parker went for
canter through the country. Today. as
they were riding from Rosemeunt, young
lady with a camera stopped the judge and
asked him to pose on his horse so that she
might get a good picture. Under such cir
cum mstances the judge invariably forGets
his resolution not to be photographed.
Keeping Mum About Candidates.
Judge Parker will not discuss the various
persons mentioned as possible democratic
candidates for governor OF New York. He
reads nearly every word printed on this
and other special subjects, but will not
talk about the various phases presented
He said today that he had seen the mention
of Daniel S. Lamont. Secretary of War
under President Cleveland. for the govern
orship, and that he very much admired
Mr. Lamont. Further than that he would
not speak, and never at any time has he
expressed preference for any Of the can

SITUATION AT PoRTARTHUR.
Japs Met Heavy Losses in Recent At
tacks-Supplies.

ST. PETERSBURG, August 3, - pm
The first Russian report of the storming
operations at Port Arthur has just been
ceived from the consul of Russia at Che
foo. dated today. 1t says a general attack
began Saturday. with the Japanese in i'm
mense force. There were two days of
bombardment of unprecedented violence.
The Japanese. at the time of sending this
dispatch. the consul adds, had everywhere
been repulsed with great loss. The Japa-
nese casualties possibly reached 2oO0O but
the Russian losses were insignificant.
The consul further reports that the Rus
slams have an abundance of ammunition.
The telegram does not mention naval opera
tions but II is here considered possible that
the Russian warships participated in she'll
ing the besiegers from the sea.
The exact date of the events reported in
this telegram is not clear, as the method OF
transmission is not disclosed. 1t is posi-
bic that II was by a wireless message. re
porting events which have occurred since
last Saturday. On the other hand, the
message may have gone by junk to Che
foo. In which case II refers TO events of
week ago and practically covers the reports
mentioned in the Associated Press dis
patches from Chefoo.
In either case the reports have been re-
ceived with considerable exultation after
the pessimiStic rumors spread abroad from
foreign sources last week. 1t seems appar-
ent that the Japanese advance against Gen.
Europatkin was timed to occur simultane-
ously with the assault upon Port Arthur.

Homer's Sailing Directions.
From the London Globe.

FROM the London Globe.
For centuries rival scholiasts have quar-
relied over the birthplace OF Homer, and
have disputed whether he was a man or a
syndicate, but 1t has been almost univer-
sally accepted that his Odyssean geography
is the airy Pigment of a delicate magma
ton. amid which, as in some unsubstantial
dreamland, an unreal Odysseus wandered
aimessly In mythical confusion. In the
Fortnightly Review Mr.. T. A. Cook claims
for M. Victor Berard that in his book, Les
Pheniciens ct rOdyssey." the author has
solved the problems of the Homeric poem.
M. Berard has spent years in working up
and down the coasts of the Mediterranean
in q sailing boat, armed with the French
Nautical Instructions which are ulti-
mately based on the 'Periploi" of the Phoe-
nician sailors.
NJ Berard has located the land OF the
Lotus eaters. the island of Calypso the

books on which to base his descriptions.
The date at which Homer wrote must be
before the foundation of Syracuse in 735,
for by then the Phoenician sea supremacy
had already given way to the young Hell
lenic colonies. 1t was In the full flower of
the society created by Phoenician commerce
that Homer wrote. This would give us
from 800 to $50 B. c. his date, and this
is the date which Herodotus suggests for
him. Cretan discoveries have shown that

Mrs Cassie L. Chadwick occupied one Of
the scantily furnished cells in the Tombs in
New York last night. After a fruitless
search all day yesterday for bail. her at
torneys gave up the fight last night, and
Philip Carpenter, her chief counsel, stood
in the corridor of the federal building at 8
o'clock when United States Marshal Henkel
threw open the double doors Of his office
and led the woman out on her way to prison.
Mrs Chadwick was wan. tired and almost
fainting. She made her way across the hall
to the elevator, leaning heavily on the mar
shaIs arm and that Of her son Emil. Be
hind them came her nurse. Freda Swenson.
and Deputy Marshal Kennedy. The party
passed through double row of curious peo-
pie to q carriage which was In waiting on
the Broadway side.
They were driven directly to the Tombs.
Arriving there, Mrs. Chadwick was half
carried up the steps and into the building.
Warden Flynn met the party. and. after
the usual preliminaries had been attended
to, the woman asked permission to have her
nurse remain with her. This was denied.
the warden saying that she should have no
privileges not allowed other prisoners.
Mrs. Chadwick gave a hand bag and
few trinkets to the nurse and whispered
some instructions to her son. Marshal
Henkel formally turned his prisoner over
to the warden and she was taken to the
matron's room. She asked to say good
to his mother and wrapping his arms about
her, gave her long embrace. Then she was
led away to the inner Office. where her pedi-
gree was taken and she was assigned to

RUSSIAN SHIPS DESTROYED.
Only Torpedo Destroyers Left in Port
Arthur Harbor.

The London Daily Telegraph's corre-
spondent before Port Arthur telegraphs that
all Of the Russian battle ships and cruisers,
together with the gun boats Giliak and Flu
sadneck, were sunk or destroyed and that
only the torpedo boat destroyers remain in
tact.
According to special dispatches from To-
kyo and Shanghai giving unofficial reports.
the crews of all the Russian war vessels
in the harbor of Port Arthur were landed.
and apparently no effort was made to move
the vessels. The Japanese will now turn
their attention to the torpedo boat destroy
ers and when these have been destroyed
the guns will be directed against steamers
and transports in the habor.
Mail advices to Japan describing the cap
ture Of 203-Meter Hill state that the Japa-
nese drenched the timber work of the
trenches with kerosene and started furi-
Gus fire, which was famed by strong
gale. The Japanese advance was very slow.
They were obliged to make roads with
bags of earth. 1t was a sudden decision sto
make a night attack that brought victory
to the Japanese. Nothing is yet officially
known as to the extent of the japanese
casualties.
