He climbed up the steep bank to his
house and cordially received the greet
ings of the other newspaper men, who
had been waiting there, but again de-
clined to make any comment upon the
situation.
From 9:45 o'clock last evening till 6
o'clock this morning. during the hours
the convention was in session, Judge
Parker remained in his room, which
he only left to go to the river for his
usual swim.
At that time he knew only that there
had been an all-night session of the
convention, and that the balloting had
begun.
There is little doubt that Judge Par
ker has been confident for many days
that he would he nominated and while
he would not discuss this aspect of the
question this morning ii was plain that
the announcement of the result caused
him no surprise, unless perhaps in some
detail of the figures involved.
Judge Parker devoted the first leis-
ure of the morning to reading the
morning papers, devoting close atten-
ton to the platform. He refused to
make any comment whatever upon the
platform. Afterwards he started for
a ride on horseback.

the delegates. instead of leaving the
hail. rushed into conferences. In an
instant there were fully twenty groups
in the hall, in the center of which
were two or three violently excited
and gesticulating men, who discussed
the Parker telegram vehemently. The
police again and again walked along
the asles, endeavoring to clear them,
but the delegates refused to move, and
the excitement grew rather than abat-
ed. A dense throng, through which 1t
was impossible to pass, gathered in
front of the chairmans desk and strove
desperately to learn the exact import
of the message. Their efforts We're I'M
availing, however. The leaders disap-
peared, and the session closed with an
atmosphere of tense expectancy as to
what would occur when it reconvened
at $50 o'clock.

Many Savannahians recall Judge
Parker's visit here on his way North
from the Georgia Bar Association meet
ing year ago. A breakfast was given
at Col Meldrim's for both Judge and
Mrs. Parker and later in the day many
Savannah ladies met Mrs. Parker at
a luncheon at Mrs. w, r. Leaken's,
and were charmed with the probable
future mistress of the White House.
Many of Savannahs leading citizens
met the judge during the day, on a
drive through the city and at a dinner
given by Mr.. George w. Owens at his
home on Thirty-seventh street. Judge
Parker was greatly interested in Sa-
vannah, but took the greatest interest
in it's commerce and it's industries.

Judge Parker. Appearance.

Judge Parker's Appearance.
Judge Parker is six feet tall and
of giant strength. His shoulders are
broad and his chest deep. His mus
cles, developed by hard work on the
farm and by daily horseback riding,
are the muscles of an athlete. He
slopes perfectly from his shoulders to
his feet, and in spite of his nearly
half century years and his weight of
1876 pounds his step is as light as a
boys and he can vault into the sad
Gle with ease.
His face is that of a country-bred
man. strong and full of color. The
eyes are large and of an agreeable
brown; lion-like eyes but for the kind
ly expression. One notices the eyes
first and then the immense jaws and
formidable round chin. The lower part
of the face is heavy, but not brutal.
1t has a powerful line and outward
thrust that suggests tremendous will
power. The mouth is large and mas
culine, with thick lower lip. The
upper teeth are big. fiat and white.
The lower teeth are smaller, The
coarse, tawny mustache goes well with
the brilliant brown eyes and the red
dish brown hair.
The judges nose is acquiline. He has
high cheek bones, but the character
istic is not marked. His high, broad
forehead slopes back without a bump.
1t is a singularly symmetrical brow,
showing penetration, observation, am
bition and energy. The block head
is not large and is somewhat straight,
so that it does not balance with the
great jaws and the fighting chin.
A straightforward Look.
Nowhere in the face or head is there
a suggestion of craft. Nor is there any
thing sidewise or sly in the eyes. They
look straight. The practical and log
ical dominate the imaginative quail
ties-impulse is a slave to will. The
lack of wrinkles between the eyebrows
and the smooth forehead indicate a
man who can concentrate his mind
without the great effort which con-
tracts the facial muscles.
Judge Parker dresses we'll and al
ways in dark colors, usually grays.
His ordinary attire is cutaway coat
of rough gray cloth and gray trouS
ers. He wears a standing collar and
a simple black cravat held by small
pearl. Few men are more decorous
or careful in their dress In spite
of his passion for work and his many
pressing duties he usually dresses
three times a day-for riding, for bus
mess and for dinner. And his clothes
fit him.
There is a grave dignity and a sug-
gestion of immense power in Judge
Parker which go well with his black
silk robe when he presides in the Court
of Appeals

 The Oregon had been docked, cleaned, painted and fitted w9th new bilge keels for her prolonged voyage. Adding about two days for the run from Key West to Newport News, the time which the Minnesota has ito beat is seventy days.

MAY BEAT THE OREGON.
Mammoth Cargo Ship Will Make a 14,.
 0O0-MiIe Trip.

000-Mile Trip.
 Members of the Maritime exchange have learned with much interest that the Great Eastern Railroad Company intends to dispatch it's mammoth steam Ter Minnesota on a voyage from the At Ilantic to the Pacific, in an effort to leclipse all steaming records, particular ly that of the battleship Oregon. The Minnesota is one of two of the largest merchant steamers ever built in America, and is intended for the James J, Hill Orient trade. She is still lat New London. where with her sister boat. the Dakota, she was built. The
 Minnesota Is applying the finishing touches for her long voyage of 1400O miles, and will leave the latter part of Ithis month.
 Newport News, Va, where she is .to | fill up with bunker coal, will be the
 Minnesota's last North Atlantic calling port. The immense size of the ship and the belief that she is faster than the
 builders are willing to admit, are re- sponsible for the opinion among steam ship men that all records will be broken.
 When the Oregon made her historic trip from the Pacific to the Atlantic 1t was thought that even If she succeeded in dodging the Spanish warships, the voyage would take about seventy-five days. As 1t was, she made the Journey
 from San Francisco to Key West in sixty-elght days, but made calls at val- paraiso, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Para and Barbados for coal. When the Or egon left San Francisco, on March IT, war with Spain had not been declared.
 The Oregon arrived at Rio Janeiro
 April 90, when 1t wal learned tha. war
 was declared. The vessels time might have been several days shorter but for lodging suspicious looking craft and waiting occasionally for the gunboat Marietta, which, although acting as a scout ship was usually in the oregon's wake.
