Russian Soldiers Suffered Frightfully
From the Heat.

St Petersburg. Aug. 3.-GeneraI
Kuropatkins armies are now concen-
trating upon Lao Yang, falling back
respectively upon Anshensnan, Liam
Dian Sian and Anping. as predicted IN
the dispatches of the Associated Press.
These three points form a ring Of
closely knit defenses around Lao
Yang and enable General KuTOpatlSin
to risk a general engagement The
only cause for anxiety is Anping, and
General KuropatSfn's words that he
hoped the troops would hold that place
would indicate a misgiving. The
Japanese evidently realized the ad-
vantage of attacking this point and di
Tected their strongest advance along
the Saisatzi-Liao Yang line.
A brief telegram from General
KUrOpatl1in received this morning re-
ports the evacuation Of Hal Cheng
and declares the Japanese did not con
tinue the attack toward Lao Yang
August ?, adding that tLiey evidently
we're unable TO follow up their advant
age Of the previous day owing to the
stubborn resistance of the Russians
coupled with the tropical heat. The
general says the soldiers threw away
their oVercOats and equipments and
adds that everything possible was done
to relieve them, but nevertheless there
were a great number of deaths from
sunstrOkes- He does not specify TIE
casualties Of the battle and makes no
mention of the loss of guns.

MICHIGAN Is in
LINE THIS FALL
Woodbridge N. Ferris is the
Nominee For Governor.
LEADING REPUBLICAN BOLTS
PLATFORM FOLLOWS THE ST.
ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.

Grand Rapids. Mich, Aug. 3-WOOd-
bridge y. Ferris of Big Rapids tonight
was nominated for. governor by the
Democratic state convention over ]. s.
Stearns OF Ludington, who early today
announced that he had bolted the Re
publican party. Mr. Stearns was three
times a prominent candidate for the
Republican nomination for governor.
The vote was: Ferris. 412; Stearhss S2s.
Ever since the last Republican state
convention refused to adopt primary
reform resolutions, declaring for the
direct nomination of candidates, on
which issue Mr.. Stearns made his cam
paign for the Republican nomination,
Mr.. Stearns' name has been suggested
as possibility for the Democratic
nomination upon a primary reform
platform. National Committeeman d.
J. Campau of Detroit strongly opposed
Stearns' nomination.
Other nominations follow:
Lieuttnant goveFnOr-Hirap 3. Hud-
SON.
Secretary OF State-James T. Batch.
Treasurer-Cseorge r. Smith.
Attorney generaI-F. o. Gaffney.
The platform adopted indorses the
platform and candidate of the nation
II favoTs the nomination of all can
didates for Office by direct vote of the
people, and the election Of United
states senators by popular vote.
Conversion of Stearns.
When the Democratic state conven-
ton was called to order here today.
indications were that JHstus s. Stearns
of Ludington, two times a prominent
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor of this state, would
be placed at the head Of the Demo-
cratic state ticket on a platform de-
claring primary reform and the direct
nomination of candidates to be the
most important issue in the coming
state campaign and pledging the party
to this end. Previous to the conven-
ton Mr.. Stearns declared he would
not only accept the nomination by the
Democrats but would also support the
Democratic national ticket. This had
the effect of removing much Of the op-
position to his nomination among dele
gates who opposed nominating a can
didate who was not a Democrat.
Judge John ". Miner of Detroit was
chosen temporary Chairman Of the
convention.
Judge Miner. the temporary chair
man, said in part:
As Democrats with the interests or
our party and our country at heart,
we most heartily rejoice over the nom
iuatiOn Of Alton b. Parker and Henry
c. Davis to head our national ticket.
Judge Parker, both by training and
by distinguished services, is the logi-
cal nominee Of our party, the man who
viii lead US to victory, particularly
upon the national platform as framed,
which We can most heartily endorse. :"

and his wife are CT. route to Europe.
Whether Judge Parker resigns his
position OF chief judge Of the court of
appeals before or after August s, his
decision wiz not be influenced by prac-
teal politicians interested in his cam
paign for the presidency. In a man
ner so emphatic so as to leave no
doubt of his dispieasure at the specu-
lation publishes IN relation to his APP
preaching Withdrawal from judicial
duties Judge Parker said today that he
would determine what his action VIII
be without assistance or advice from
anybody unless it is from associates on
the bench
Judge Parker said today he had seen
the mention Of Daniel 5. Lamont,
secretary of war under President
Cleveland. for the governorship and
that he very much admired Mr. La
mont. Further than tEat he would not
speak and never at any time has he
expressed preference for any Of the
candidates.
Mr. Wall brought a message direct
from William ]. Bryan assuring Judge
Parker that Mr.. Bryan is heartily with
the Ticket and VIII place himself at the
disposal of the Democratic national
committee to do everything in his pow
er TO insure the psTty's success this
fall. Mr. Bryan breakfssted with Mr..

have been warm personal friends for
eight years.
Mr.. Wall said today:

\ Judge Parker was greatly interested
in the Wisconsin situation. Mr.. Wall
told him that while Wisconsin. under
normal conditions favor 10000 plurality
to the Republicans, the breach between
the La Toilette and "stalwart" factions
was of such nature that it could not
be healed. He expressed the belief
that if the Democrats who supported

The appointment of William F. Shee-
han as chairman of the national execu-
tive committee came as q surprise to
Judge Parker. He was not surprised
because of the selection, as that was a
foregOne conclusion, but because he
was under the impression that the ex-

The first Russian repo-t of the storm

The japanese casualties possibly
reached 10000. but the Russian losses
were insignificant
The consul further reports that the
Russians have an abundance of am
munition.
The exact date OF the events re-
ported in this telegram is not clear, as
the method of transmission has not
been disclosed. 1t is possible that It
was a wireless message reported events
which lave occurred since last Sat
Urday. On the other hand, the mes

in which case it refers to events Of a
