GORMAN OR STEPHAN ;?
Hot at Esopus But the Stenograpeers
 Keep Busy.

New York, July Elf Senator German will not take the chairman ship of the democratic national com mittee the men who have been push ing him for the place will turn their attention to William F. Sheehan and try to secure his election by the na- tional committed The friends of Judge Parker are anxious to have Mir German, but they recognize that his declination means that the place can not be forced upon him. They say, however, that MT Sheehan must ac- cept if Judge Parker insists or if his immediate advisers say that he must take the place. The reason why
 either German or Sheehan, is prefer red over Thomas Taggart of Indiana is understood to be because of the belief that either of them would be able to command attention of eastern
 business men and secure large cam paign fund. While the judges ad- l visers say that Taggart will be amply provided for in an advisory capacity they think that either German or Sheehan with their wide experience and the more intimate knowledge they have of campaign methods in the east, would be better able to | standing the endorsement given Tag gart by officers of the national com
 mittee at St Louis it is the belief of
 democrats here that he will be willing l to accept the Judgment of Judge Par.
 ker and his advisers in regards to the chairmanship and the management of 1 the campaign.
 l FsonI1s N " J11ly 21-Another ex- eessively hot day blistered every
 things in Ulster county and kept. af-
 fairs down to the lowest possible
 pressure of activity. The only thing
 running at full speed has been the
 outgoing correspondence. Three hun
 dred and forty letters was the total
 output bS<ore noon yesterday and l to-day's outgoing mail promises to be
 larger than yesterday.
 The expected return today of Will | liam F. Sheehan and the visit last
 night of Judge Morgan J. O'Brien
 were the chief topics of interest in l the early part of the day
 The visit of Judge O'Brien, who has l for many years been a close personal l friend of Judge Parker, was largely
 a social and personal affair, although
 the fact that Judge O'Brien is one of
 the most influential men in Tammany l hall is not lost sight of.
 After the dinner on the yacht Sap phire, Judge Parker remained until . late hour with Judge O'Brien and
 John B. Mcdonald, who is closely l identified with August Belmont. It
 is said that all aspects of the demo-
 cratic situation were fully and frank I ly discussed.

London, July 21.-The Associated Press learns that Count Benckendorf, the Russian ambassador. at confer ence with Foreign Secretary Lans- downe yesterday afternoon, made what may be considered preliminary reply to the British protest against the seiz- ure of the steamer Malacca. He as sured the foreign secretary that his government had no intention of ln- fringing on the rights of Great Britain or any other neutral power, and that if a mistake had been made in the selz- ure of the Malacca unquestionably Ihe steamer will immediately be restored and damages would be paid.
 The ambassador pointed out that IL was unreasonable to suppose that tlhe Malacca had been seized without the commander of the St Petersburg nav irlp good grounds to believe that sne had contraband on board. Unless this suspicion is effectually disproved the matter will have to go before a prize court which procedure Great Britain herself follows. Tn the meantime Rus sia will make full investigation in or der to establish definitely the grounds on which the commander acted. The ambassador also informed Lord Lans- Sewile that he had telegraphed the British protest to St Petersburg and said it would receive the immediate attention of the emperor and Count Lamsdorff. Subsequently Count Benck- ehndoff informed Lord Lansdowne that inquiries were at once begun and that a prompt reply would be made.
 There is reason ito believe that the , Russian authorities incline to the con clusfon that the commander of the St Petersburg made grave mistake in seizing the Maiacca. This can be es- abolished by his reports. which have been telegraphed for, and if this opin- ion is confirmed orders will be con firrned to release the Malacca.
 With respect to the question of the passage of the Dardanelles, which Great Britain has also raised, it is said here that both the British and Russian diplomats hold the view that. this does not demand the immediate attention which the Malacca incident requires. It is pointed out here that the Russian position generally is as follows:
 The treaties regarding the DRrdan- elles prohibit the passagS of the straits by warships. Russia has no intention of violating this provision and has not asked Turkey to do so. But the treaties do not forbid ships from traversing the straits with arms and munitions. Turkey or any other power has nothing to say consequently about the armament of ships after theit passage through the straits. Rus sia holds that not word In the treat ies forbids such action as taken by the St Petersburg and Smolensk.
 Russia, 1t is clearly made known at inc foreign office desires that the whole subject shall be treated in the most friendly spirit, believing that thereby a solution will be reached sat isfactory to both powers.

An American Product

Scores Another Great Victory in Germany.
Prof. DR.. Lintner director of the 'SC1en-
tific Station for the Brewing Industry of
Bavaria at Munich" upon Analysing Oils
ner Urquell," the beers of the "Buerger-
liches Brauhaus of Pilsen Bohemia, and
"Anheuser- Busch's Budweiser," under date
of May II, 1904 makes the following state
ment sworn to before DIR. Pundter. Royal
Notary, and verified by Hon. James II.
Norman L. S. Consul General at Munich,
Bavaria:
Upon subjecting the several beers to a
careful analysis l find that the 'Budweiser
Beer, submitted by the Anheuser Busch
Brewing Association, st. Louis, T. S. A, is
very similar, in all its characteristics, to
the finest and best Pilsener beers. 1t is eff
ferveScent, clear and sparkling, has a beau
tiful creamy foam and is possessed of a
pure, wholesome taste and an exquisite hop
flavor. Its keeping qualities by far exceed
those of the Pilsener beers, resulting from
the use of the very best materials in brew
ing, and the thorough maturity of the
product The analysis further shows that
no acids or other preservatives have been
used in It's production, and result of
my examine ton 1 pronounce 'Budweiscr' a
well matured bottled beer of the highest
quality"
This acknowledgment, coming as 1t does
from the recognized headquarters of the
brewing industry of the old world, must be
great source of qualification and in a
measure a compensation to the Anheuser-
Busch people for their unceasing efforts
to produce the finest beer that can be made.
