atOr.

st. Louis. July Former Senator
Davis of West Virginia, was in confer
ence today with former Senator Jones
Of Arkansas: Senator's Stone of Mis-
souri, and John McGraw of West Vir-
ginia. and others, and they recon-
mended that Mr.. Davis advise Arthur
Pue German to come Immediately to
ST. Louis to look after affairs at the
democratic headquarters. Senator Da-
Wis declined to send message, but 1t
is believed one was sent by another
laan.
The reason given for wishing Cor
mans presence is the desire TO have
his counsel in unraveling, the tangled
skein of political threads which po-
litlcal leaders find exists. Still. there
is a considerable element in the Con-
vention which holds that the Maryland
leader is the most desirable man to
head the ticket. They hope that the
psychological moment for his nomi-
nation may arrive and they believe that
at such a time his presence would be
of great advantage.

Blood and Ammunition.
st. Petersburg, July 2.-The outcome
of the naval engagements off Port Ar
thur and Esu Island Is monopolizing
public interest. The land operations
in Manchuria are believed to have been
practically adjourned for six weeks
until the rains shall be over.
kilograms from Lao Yang agree
that the Japanese are withdrawing
from their positions, the capture of
which entailed the expenditure of so
much blood and ammunition. The
same kilograms show that the Rus
SLAMS are promptly taking advantage
of the withdrawal of the Japanese,
and are assuming the offensive. in
ficting considerable losses on the jap
anese.
The close of active operations in
such circumstances has greatly re-
stored confidence. Russian fours to-
day rose half a point above 80, the
highest price for many weeks. The
real cause of this change is that the
outlook gives rise to considerable spec
ulation.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
Explanation OF the Age Pension Or
der

Explanation OF the Age Pension Or.
der.
To make clear the actual effect
of provisions of the recent age
pension order of Com missioner
Ware about which a large lumber
of inquiries are being made, the
following official statement was
issued from Washington Friday ;
There appears to be an impress
sion among many OF the soldiers
that allowances of pensions un-
der the age order OF the commits
sioner of pensions are in addition
to pensions allowed heretofore. -
This Is an erroneous idea OF said
order. The law prohibits the
pay ment of more than one pen
sion TO a person of the same peri
cd, and the effect of tie order on
those having a pension already
only will be to increase such pen
sion up to the age limit, If the
pension already drawn is below
that amount.
