M 'CARREN HAS MOST
But Doesn't Make Clean Sweep
In Brooklyn

NEW YORK, Aug. S0.-Both the Re
publican and Democratic parties held their
primaries in New York city today. The
interest centered in the Democratic con-
test in Brooklyn, where State Senator P.
II. McCarren and Deputy Fire Commits
sioner Doyle, the latter the representative
of Charles F. Murphy. the Tammany
leader fought. McCarren carried six
teen out of twenty-one assembly districts,
but the Doyle men took the other five. It
is said in political circles tonight that
McCarren is disappointed that Doyle car
ried four of the five districts and that he
expected to sweep Brooklyn and do away
entirely with the Tammany influence.
Tammany is elated at the result.
In Manhattan and the Bronx there We're
practically no changes of leadership in the
various districts. In the bitter Repub-
lican fight in the Twenty fifth between
Herbert A Parsons and Howard Conklin,
Parsons won by about 100 votes. 1t is said
that Gov. Odell was deeply interested in
the attempt to defeat Parsons, who is a
Platt Republican.
William S. Devery was decisively de-
feated in his fight in the Ninth district
In Devery's district the primaries pro-
voked fight between negroes and white
men which almost led to a race riot, and
10 quel which the police reserves were
called out.

st. Paul day was tremendous sue

st. Paul day was a tremendous sue
cessi ~
In spite of lowering clouds and gray
skies there was an attendance at the
great state fair yesterday of 10000.
Had the sun Shone all day records
for crowds would have been broken
without doubt. AS it was. yesterdays
attendance was almost double that of
opening day.
On st. Paul day last year there was
an attendance of $4,000, but despite the
slight difference in the numbers pres
ent, there were other features in con-
nection with the 1904 fair that caused
st. Paul day this year to go on record
as the greatest day in the history of
Minnesota fairs.
Long before noon yesterday in the
Minnesota state fair grounds, it was
satisfactorily demonstrated that the
day named in honor of this city was to
eclipse all other ST. Paul days that
have been celebrated in the state fair
grounds.
The crowd arrived early and stayed
late. At 9 o'clock the electric trains
were crowded and by IL o'clock there
was not. standing room in the cars that
stopped at the main gate. But all the
people did not arrive yesterday by way
of the cars. A number of st. Paul
business firms that closed their places
for the afternoon sent their employees
in buckboards. They carried horns
which they footed loudly and often,
thus adding greatly to the general live
liness that is always a feature of the
state fair.
Perhaps never before were there so
many from the city in a state fair
crowd as there were yesterday. An es-
pecially large number Of clergymen
were to be seen on the grounds. St.
Paul yesterday took a holiday and most
of its citizens found their way to Min
nesota's finest and best.
It was an ideal day for sightseeing.
Although the sky was lowering and
the wind chilly, it was possible to tour
the various buildings without suffering
the fatigue that even a moderately
warm day occasions. About noon the
sun came out and stayed out long
enough to make it pleasant for those
who brought luncheons to eat out Of
doors.
This Fair Is Musical
There was plenty Of music yesterday
to add to the gaiety. Indeed. this is

Whitakers' and AItizers' Mix
Up With Deadly Effect


TAZEWELL, Va, Aug. 30.-A disas-
trous fight occurred between the Whit
akers and Altizers on Indian creek. on
the border of West Virginia, about
fifteen miles north of here. AS re-s
suit Noah Altizer is dead; Lee Whit
aker seriously injured, Bill Whitaker
shot through the body with slight
chance of recovery, and John Stanton,
a sympathizer of the Altizers, serious
ly injured.
The trouble occurred at a meeting of
the Hard Shell Baptists and Seventh
Day Adventists, with whom the Whit
akers and Altizers affiliated. The
services were in progress when some
one fired a shot and a general fusillade
began with the results named. The
Whitakers and Altizers have been en-
emies for thirty years.

In one of the largest, most enthusias-
tic and most harmonious conventions
ever held by Minnesota Democrats
John A johnson, of St. Peter, was
placed in nomination for governor by
the Minneapolis convention of yester-
day.
Johnson's nomination was a fore
gone conclusion. That of Fendall G.
Winston, of Minneapolis, for lieutenant
governor, which followed, was almost.
as certain as the personality of the
man who was to be chosen to head the
ticket.
Both Johnson and Winston were
nominated unanimously, and with the
single exception of little fight on the
proposition to nominate two Repub-
.lican members of the present supreme
court, the convention had not a differ
ence of opinion as to the men who
should go on the ticket.
Over the resolutions there was lit.
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-08-31

the most musical of all the state fairs
that hsye been held in Minnesota.
From morning until late at night there
is music in the air, and excellent mu-
sic, too. Among the picturesque fea-
lures Of the fair are the musicians of
the Scotch Canadian band. This is
military band and the players wear
regimental plaid and kits Yesterday
afternoon they paraded up and down
the streets led by piper and followed
by large and admiring crowd, which
reveled in the stirring Scotch airs.
The womans orchestra in the main
building, comprising some of the best
women players in the state, is the
cynosure of many eyes and it's music
is feast for the ears. In addition to
the bands and the orchestras there are
a number of street organs that eX-
haust many times during the day their
repertoire of popular airs.
Besides being the most musical, the
forty-frst annual state fair is also the
least monotonous in coloring. The new
manufacturers building of pink brick
with white trimmings, furnishes a
break in the monotony of white that
has heretofore prevailed in the general
color scheme of the buildings. The
red gateway of the pike, the many col
ored banners that fly from tents and
buildings and the striped awnings of
the pavilions all help to give the charm
of color to a picturesque scene.
Main Building Attractive
The big main building is one Of the
most attractive on the grounds and is
capable of swallowing up more sight
seers than any building at the fair 1t
has been freshly decorated this year
and the great sky blue dome presents
a most imposing appearance. The dec
orations throughout this building are
pale blue. Underneath the dome is the
stand for the orchestra and about this
is arranged a barrier of plants, palms
and ferns. From this central dome
four arms branch out and these are
given over to the exhibitions of Twin
City merchants.
To the right of one of the entrances
a seed firm has arranged an attractive
exhibit of Minnesota garden vege-
tables. Red peppers, radishes, beets,
red cabbages and other vegetables of
this color are used in various decora-

his handling of the convention was skill
full and calculated to keep the thousand
delegates in a good humor and to ex-
pedite the business of the convention.
Eloquent Nominating Speeches
The nominating speeches were at
times eloquent, and the convention re-
ceived them with fine spirit. The ap-
pearance of John A. Johnson in the
convention hall to respond to the COM
mittee on notification was the signal
for a spontaneous outburst of enthu-
siasm, such as has seldom been wit
messed in Minnesota convention of
any political party. In accepting the
trust reposed in him by the conyen-

came eloquent and he stirred the dele

ANOTHER FATAL CLOUDBURST.
Flood OF Water Fifteen Feet Deep
Rushes Down.

Kingman, Ariz., Aug. 1S.-Report by
telephone from Layne Springs, IA
miles north of here says that cloud
burst fell on Summit Cernbat noun
tains, sending flood of water fifteen
feet deep down the canons, carrying
everything before it. At the Night
hawk mine a house was carried away
and two men were drowned. George
NJ. Bowers, a well known mining
man, ESCAPED from the building, but
was imprisoned in the tunnel of the
mine and was dug out by fellow min
ers. The body of ole Inglebrethern
was found two miles down the canon,
imbeded in mud and debris. The body
of John Corners. another victim, has
not yet been recovered. At the Alpha
mine, 100 yards north of the Night
hawk, ore dumps we're carried away
and huge boulders piled up in the por
tails of the tunnel. At Stockton Hill
and all along the range shafts are NIL
ed with water and debris and much
damage has been done. General rains

The Great Public Anxiety In Russia
Is Unrelleved.
JAPANESE URGE A SURRENDER.
The Opinion is Growing That the
Heavy Losses Sustained by Port
Arthur Fleet May Completely Al
ter the Plan of the Baltic Fleee.

London, Aug 1S.-A dispatch from
Toxic says that big oil warehouse
at Port Arthur is blazing furiously
and that the position of the besieged
is such that the Japanese are urging
them to surrender.
st. Petersburg.-Public anxiety re-
garding the fate of the ships OF Rear
Admiral Whitsoeft's squadron remain
ing unaccounted for is still unrelieved.
st. Petersburg continues to be entire
ly dependent upon foreign sources Tor
news, the Russian authorities claim
ing to be quite as much in the dark
as the public. The admiralty neither
confirms nor denies the report that
majority of the squadron returned TO
Port Arthur, although it does not fall
to point out that only the most des-
perate situation after the sea tight
could have compelled the vessels to
return for refuge to that port. a
The opinion is growing that the
heavy losses sustained by the Port
Arthur fleet may completely alter the
plan of the Baltic fleet.
Tokio.-It seems certain that the
Russian protected cruiser Pallada was
torpedoed and sank during the naval
battle of August 10. She failed to re-
turn to Port Arthur and has not been
reported since Admiral Togo's fleet de-
parted on various missions on the
night of August 10, when the Russians
retreated.
st. Petersburg-Th news of the de-
feat of the Vladivostok squadron has
added another crushing blow to the
reverse before Port Arthur. No pub
lie announcement has yet been made
of the sinking of the Rurik. The Che
Foo report of the sortie of the Russian
warships from Port Arthur naturally
cannot be confirmed and the admir-
atty is puzzled to know whether 1t re-
fers to the ships which remained IN
the harbor when the main squadron IN
went out August 10, or to ships OF the
late Admiral Withoft's original squad
ron. In either event, however, 1t is
construed as evidence that the shells
of the Japanese land batteries are
falling on the harbor, rendering it I'M
safe for the ships to remain there any
longer. 1t is also interpreted in some
quarters as indicating the eve OF
ctormipo the fortress.

CHICAGO'S FIERCEST RIOT.
Shots Were Fired And Scores OF Riot
ers Were CIuhhed.

Chicago, Aug. 20.-The fiercest riot
of the stock yards strike occurred
when hungry jewellers of the pack
ing house district sought to capture
and kill eight steers that had escaped
from the yards. The mob numbered
1000 persons and the streets were
cleared only after 100 policemen in
five squads had charged on the riot
ers on four sides. Shots were fired
and scores of rioters were dubbed.
A bullet grazed the cheek OF Police
Lieutenant George Prim, and a police
sergeant was stripped of his star and
club by women rioters. One man was
so severely battered he was sent to
the hospital. Few arrests were made
as the police contented themselves
with dispensing the mob. The temper
of the police was shown, however,
when a call for re-inforcements was
answered by a number of patrol wa
CONS, followed by an ambulance. In
no previous riot were clubs used so
freely.

WORD FROM ALEXIEFF
NAVAL FIGHT WITH JAPS

creasing our speed to II knots we
seemed to have an opportunity of sue

intentions and directed his course to-
wards us for the purpose of hindering
our design.
Hardly five minutes passed before
the Rurik left the ranks and signalled
that her steering gear was disabled.

continued on my former course.
Seeing that all the Japanese cruis-
ers were concentrating their fire on
the Rurik, all my subsequent maneuv-
ering was with the object of enabling
the Rurik to repair her damages. |
attracted to myself the enemy's fire
in order to cover the Rurik. (Admiral
lessen was on the flagship Rossia)
while the Rurik continued fight
ing we continued our efforts to at
tract the enemy further north in the
hope that the Rurik would manage
to dispose of her two comparatively
weaker opponents, and that after re-
pairing the damage to her rudder she
would be able to reach Vladivostok
independently.
Taking advantage of the calm, we
stopped our engines and quickly COM
menced to repair the breeches in
our vescels so as to enable us to pro-
coed to Vladivostok.
Captain Berlinsky of the Rossia,
was killed and several Of his officers
were wounded. On board the Gromo-

other officers were wounded. Both
cruisers had 1876 men killed and SO7
