called to order a recess was declared
TO enable the Senatorial conventions
to meet and make nominations. Upon
reconvening the Nineteenth Senatorial
District announced that it had selected

ator by the Twenty-frst District, the
nomination of George B. keane OF the
Twenty-third District by the Repuo1-
can convention was indorsed and
George w. Berger was nominated by
the convention of the Twenty-fourth
Senatorial District. Great enthusiasm
greeted the Endorsement Of Keane's
nomination and he was compelled to
respond to a demand for a speech. He
thanked the convention for its express
sion Of good will and assured the repre-
sentatives of labor that he would al
ways keep their interests before him In
the event of his election to the office
to which he aspires.

LEADER SADLY MISSING
Confusion Prevails at Con-
vention and Much Time
Is Wasted by Delegates

A leader is lacking in tie Union Labor
ranks, a fact that was thoroughly DEM
onstrated last night atst the organize
tion's convention held iri Pioneer Hall.
For several hours confusion prevailed
while Chairman j. n. Copus and Thom-
as F. Eagan, who exchanged the gavel
back and forth, tried to force COM
pletion of the work before the conven-
ton
When an adjournment was ordered,
however the Thirty-fifth and the For
ty-fifth Assembly districts were yet to
be heard from on the question Of nom
nations for Assemblymen and the
Thirty ninth had failed to file Its pur-
ity Of election committee as required by
law This necessitated an adjournment
to the call of the chair and the con-
vention will again assemble when these
diliatory districts are ready to report.
But two contests developed at the
convention last night. ]. j. Henessey
and Patrick Boyle sought the nomina-
ton for Assemblyman in the Thirty
second District After much Wrang-
ling a roll call was demanded and
Henessey was nominated by a narrow
margin. NJ J. Kerrigan and Fred Min
kie sought the nomination for Assem-
bIyman in the Thirtytnird District.
The roll was called and Kerrigan was
nominated. Subsequently both nomi-
nees were indorsed by the entire con-
vention.

WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED.


While the battle of Shakhe river has
undoubtedly resulted in a Japanese
victory the days dispatches indicate
that Kuropatkin's defeat was far from
being as crushing as the news of Sat-
urday and Sunday presaged. His
offensive movements failed utterly,
but it is apparent that even in his re-
treat he is battling stubbornly and in
ficting severe losses on the Japanese,
while himself sustaining casualties
that are described as "appalling."
At several critical points along the
extended line Of battle the Russians
have launched attack after attack at
the Japanese and in some instances
succeeded in driving them out and re-
covering their positions. In one such
attack they captured eleven guns.
These, however, are apparently iso-
lated successes in what is otherwise q
general defeat.
An official report to st. Petersburg
says that cannonading was re0pened
along the entire front during the

been equalled since the war began. The
ferocity of the fighting has driven out
Of the minds of the soldiers all
thoughts of personal safety, and the
troops, living In an atmosphere. of sud-

have been enormous, but this is for
