COMMITTEE WILL DEFER ID PARKER Will Choose Chairman Accord
 ing to His Wishes HOWELL GIVES HIS VIEWS Thinks Indiana's Presentation of Tag gart's Name Was In Accord With
 Wishes of the President
 lal Nominee.
HOWELL GIVES HIS VIEWS

Atlanta, July 11.-Clark Howell. national democratic committeeman from Georgia, spoke this evening of the St. Louis meet ing of the committee after the adjourn ment of the convention as follows
 "In the matter of the selection of the chairman of the national democratic com mittee there should be no room for appre- hension that the choice will not only be satisfactory to Judge Parker the party 8 presidential nominee, but more than that. the committed will be guided in it's action by Judge Parkers expression on the sub ject.
 This is the first time in many years perhaps ever, that the chairman has not been chosen at the meeting of the com mittee immediately after the adjournment of the convention. It has been the uni form custom that the new committee organize immediately after the adjourn ment of the convention for the selection of chairman who has always been se- lected in accordance with the wishes of the presidential nominee. Until the St. Louis convention adjourned it was assum- ed that Taggart of Indiana was the choice of Judge Parker and the fact that a majority of the executive committee fa- vored him grew out of that current un- derstanding.
 Will Defer to Parker's Wishes.
 "If it should develop that Judge Par kcr does not wish MT Taggart but pre- fers some one else, 1t goes without say ing that rlle committee will be guided ac- cordingly at the meeting to be held at a later cate in New York. If Judge Par ker Irc.ers another to MT. Taggart the latter will promptly withdraw his name frorn the consideration of the committee, but this will not be done unless Judge Parker as the par.ys presidential nom- inees, states that he has in view some one else who would be more satisfactory to him than MT. Taggart, who with the understanding that his selection would meet the aI proval of Judge Parker. is the choice of majority of the national com nlittce.
 MT. Taggart had charge of Judge Parksr's campaign in Indiana and 1t was partly trough his efforts that that pivo- tal state was among the first to instruct. He las beer in close touch with the Iarxcr movement and no states action contributed more to shaping the verdict of the conN ention than did that of Indi- ana Hence Indiana's presentation of Tasgart's lame was presumably in full accord W tf the precedent of having the nominees full approval of the chairman chosen

St. Louis.

St. Louis, July 11.-When the case of Charles Denny, a former member of the St. Louis municipal assembly, charged with bribery in connection with the city lighting deal, was called in the St Louis superior court today, he entered a plea of guilty. Sentence was deferred until July

BITTER COMMITTEE DEBATE

Washington, July 11.-(Special) )-Suffer- ing from his old throat complaint Sem ator Tillman of South Carolina arrived in Washington this afternoon from St. Louis, where he took a conspicuous part in Inc democratic convention. It is pos sihle the recurrence of the trouble will prevent him from taking a prominent part in the national campaign, although the senator is eager for the coming fray. He is now in the hands of doctor and chafes under the restraint. In an interview to- night he said:
 1T ren.s rised at St. Louis the other night when everything was 50 uncertain, that ether the devil had caught us and was rushing us toward the precipice or that pro idence had taken a kindly hold on our affairs. l am greatly inclined to the latter view. It has been my inten- tion to taxe no part in the campaign. for my throat is in bad condition but now unless the doctor forbids, and the party wants me, I will work as hard as I did in 1896 and 1900. Then I was a silver man and now I'll work-well Ill work to beat Roosevelt. And Roosevelt is my plat form. l am for a return to constitutional gave rment and law. I'm tired of inn perialism at home as well as abroad
 What do you think of the effect of Judge Parker's action upon party har- mony?" the senator was asked.
 Was Temporary Resentment.
 q left the convention just bel re it adjourned. 1 talked to few of the dele gates afterward, but what anger l did ob- serve on the part of the men from the west, I considered temporary resentment. l believe it was far better for Judge Parker to speak when he did. His ac- tion effectually prevents the republicans from injecting the money issue into this campaign.
 'The money situation could not be changed even if we elected Bryan. We had hoped in the committee on resolu- tions to settle the question of a money plank without any minority. but it was impossible. Nevertheless, it could never have forced a sound money plank. It was the most bitter debate in the com mittee that I ever experienced. Why, I was playing the role of pacifactor, com promiser. 1 was the conservative. Now you can imagine how warm it was if I was to be found on the side of the mod crates"

Indianapolis. July n.--Thomas Taggart arrived from St. Louis today.
 'I am perfectly satisfied with the result of the national convention" he said. But for my own action the committee would have elected me chairman at yesterdays meeting.

National Packing company. In Chicago alone the companies employ more than 14,000 men, all of whom will quit work at the same time as do the packing em- ployes outside Of Chicago. In an inter- view tonight MT. Donnelly said:
 For nearly two months we have been carrying on negotiations with the com mittee of superintendents representing all the packers in order to secure new agreements for our members, the old contracts between the union and the companies having expired on May 2S. Since that time we have been working without agreement and have tried in every way to reach an agreement with the packers but they have held out on every proposal we submitted, refusing to compromise in any way. Finally the men became disgusted and tonights order for the strike is the result"

Is Declared Lawful Prize.

Vladivostock, July 1.-The British steamer Cheltenham, captured by the Vladivostock squadron, was today decar- ed lawful prize. Her commander did not attempt to defend himself, firstly be- cause the proof against the vessel was overwhelming and secondly because the evidence tended to show that the ship had already been bought by the Japanese for $2o0oO. She was sailing under the British flag because some of her formalities of her transfer were lacking.
 There were only four British subjects on board of the Cheltenham. Her crew was mostly Germans and they did not conceal their joy at the tact that the Russians had captured the Cheltenham. When the prize crew from the armored cruiser Gromoboi left the Cheltenham they were cheered by the Germans.
