YOUNG PHOENIX CRIMINAL
Mayo Simpson Caught in Attempted
 Burglary at Avalon.

Los Angeles, July 14.-(SpeciaL)- Mayo Simpson, II year old boy, who says he came from Phoenix, was ar rested yesterday for attempting to rob the store of the Wood Carriage Com pany at No. 72O South Main street, Av- alon.
 Young Simpson broke open the froEt door and was going through the desks in the office when Manager Carm can, who was in the back part of the build ing, came out and caught the boy in the act.
 The police were notified, bat before Officer Roberts arrived Simpson had told a hard luck story to MT. Carmean and the boy was allowed to go.
 Roberts traced him to the back yard of a residence, where he was evidently planning another burglary. At the po- lice station the boy admitted that he had tried to rob the store and said that he had abad record in Arizona, from whence he came two months ago.
 He says he was fined $500 in hoenix for having burglarized a store, and es- capped jail sentence by coming to Los Angeles. He said that he intended go- ing to the Fernando college in the fall but the old desire to steal came over him again and he could not resist it. The boy was sent to the detention home.

WORLDS FAIR PLOTTfRS
Employees Arrested for Fraud in the
 Admissions Department.

St. Louis, Mo-, July 14.--Wm. H. FL lis, Henry Miller and Edward Kieley, all of St. Louis. employees of the dd- mission department of the worlds fair, have been aTrresteI and taken to tine worlds fair police station, where they will be held pending an investigation into what is believed to be a gigantic conspiracy to rob the exposition com pany by ticket irregularities.
 Norris B. Gregg. director of admis- siOns and concessions of the worlds s fair. admitted that a searching cam paign is being conducted in the depart ment of admissions by Pinkerton de- tectives and members of the St. Louis detective jorce. but he refused to talk about the alleged conspiracy.
 The indications are that a large num- Der of employees of the division of ad- missions have been in conspiracy and that a large sum of money has been secured.
 Switching back and the second sale Of genune tickets and the wide circu- lation of counterfeit admission cards are said to be two schemes which have been marked with success. The men under arrest are supposed to have had the cooperation Of others in the ticket booths and of certain employees in the offices of the admissions department in the administration building as well as the inspectors stationed at the en- frances.

I need not say that I am very grateful to those men. did not ask them to go, but I ap- preciate the fact that they went. knew that they would be a force there, as I have learned they proved to be, and Iknow very well if a little effort had been made that band could have been very largely increased from among my friends and neighbors who would have been only too glad to go.
 T am not going to attempt to make speech, but I want to welcome you to Rosemont. Never will I forget, while I live, the happy days when we met day by day and shook each other by the hand and discussed the various situations presented. I am grateful to all of you who have come here and I want to take this opportunity to shake all my neighbors by the hand and to say to each one of you God speed"

Interpreted by Russians as
 Admission of Defeat
NOT AN UNLIKELY EVENT
Say the Military Experts at St. Peters, burg, TaKing Into Account the Jap- anese Character-Uhcertainty as to the Battle Ground in the North.

St. Petersburg, July 14-The general staff. although it has no further news m to the present hour of the reported Japanese disaster at Port Arthur, maintains there is no reason to doubt the Japanese have suffered a substan- tial repulse, pointing out this: It is significant, if the report is untrue, that no denial has been issued from Tokic, which did not hesitate to deny the Rus sian report of the loss of the battle shin Shikishima and atrocity stories. Experts who have carefully studied Japanese methods are not surprised that they should attempt to storm with out preliminary bombardment, such as lasted for three days prior to the Rus sian assault on Plevna at the time Cf thee Russo-Turkish war and the longer bombardment of Sebastopol, the Ch. ef drawback of the b0mbardment being that it warns the garrison of what is coming. Experts say that the Jafan- csc may have hoped to take the fort ress by surprise, giving up lombard ment after Rear Admiral Wisoett's squadron went out on Saturday, and dismantled their siege batteries.
 An officer who has just returned here from the front, said to the Asso- ciated Press that the terrible losses re- nortod to have been sustained by the bescigcrs of Port Arthur are not un- likely in view of the extraordinary, al- most fanatical determination of the Japanese, never hestitating before the most terrible chances. Some of the forts at Port Arthur are preceded by ditches four and five fathoms deep. made of solid rock. Whole regiments could easily be ergulfed in these Chasms.
 Rumors emanating from TOkio that Port Arthur has fallen arouse cnly smiles from Russian officers. It is not improbable that fighting is now progressing at Ia Tche Kai, advices showing that the Japanese were with in a few milees of that place, coming up in two columns from the south.
 The extent of the Russian resist ance will probably be determined by the character of General Kurokfs and GenenlT Nozu's advaffees on Ha: Cheng. A large force of Japanese within striking distance of Hai Chens would render it impossible for the Rus sian commander in chief to remain at Ta Tche Kiao, in which event there will be a fight at Hai Cheng, the re- suit of which will be much more inn pOrtant than the recent engagement at Kai Chou.
 The general staff denies that the Russians were driven out of their en- trenchment at .Siksain, or that severe fighting occurred at that place.
 General Sakaharoff reports that the Japanese cavalry advanced July F towards New ChwanS, encountered the Russian cavalry and that slight skirmish followed.

of the Japanese repulse in their assault on Port Arthur.
NOT QUITE SURE OF IT.
But Russians Believe the Story of Ja-
 panese Disaster to be True.

St. Petersburg, July 14.-Under yec- terday's date the correspondent of the Associated Press with the Russian headquarters at Lao Yang, whose tel egrams heretofore have been conser- vative and reliable, announces the re- ception there of the joyfu! news of the brilliant repulse of a Japanese assault on Port Arthur with a loss of 30000 men. Tie report says whole masses of the enemy were blown up with mines, and adds that the Russian losses were 1900, and that Major General Fock pursued the Japanese to Nan Ga Pass and it is believed Gen. Oku will now detreat to the south.
 It is possible that the correspondent confused Fock's pursuit with an attack made by him on July on the Japanese right flank when he was also reported to have driven back the enemy to Nan Ga Pass. Here in St. Petersburg, pop ular jubilation over the reported great defeat of the Japanese before Port Ar thur is being chilled by the failure to clear up the source of the report. While eagerly expressing hope of direct ofii- cial confirmation, the papers counsel it's acceptance with reserve.

MEETING OF OLD FRIENDS
A Gathering at Esopus to Copsratu-
 late Judge Parker.

Esopus, N. Y, July 14.-Six car Parker came down on a special train tonight ito celebrate the judges nomin- ation. Most of those who came down were democrats, but there were not a few old republican friends of the judge and the celebration was designed to be non- partisan in character
 Headed by the First regiment band of Kingston, the visitors marched to Rosemont and gave Judge Parker a rousing ovation. Replying to an ad- dress of congratulation from the visit ors, Judge Parker said: There are never any friends like old friends. Friendship is not a plant of rapid growth. For more than a quarter of century I have passed among you day by day. We met one another upon the streets as we were going about our several duties. We chatted together at clubs and met one another in social intercourse at our respective houses. We sorrowed together when dear friends passed away. Together we helped one another on occasion of need. We rejoiced together when some great good came in to the life or lives of some of our friends.
 During those years we formed re- lations of friendship with one another. -As an illustration of it, we find that tweuty-six of you went to St. Louis through the heat to say something kindly of one of their friends of that Kingston and Ulster county band as- sociated together for so many years I not told the whole truth at St. Louis. There is something about those friends whom l have known so well these years that makes it impossible for them to tell the exact truth about that friend, and know well that in talking to the several delegations there they failed

HAYTI GETS PEEVISH
Juss Now in an Ugly Mood Toward
 All Foreigners

Wilmington, July 13.-Secretary Hay is apprehensive of a clash between Hayti and Germany. Minister Powell cabled today from Port Prince that Dr. Zummera, a German charge, had failed to negotiate commercial treaty like that between France and Hayti and was indignant and much chagrin- ed at Hayti's refusal to accept his overtures.
 The German cruiser Panther has just arrived at ort-au-Prince, and it is feared that she may make a demon- stration of some kind in an effort to force the negotiation of the treay that Germany wants. The Haytians are just now in an unfriendly mood toward all foreigners, and MT. Hay thinks that any attempt to exert pressure might result in a rather serious straining of relations.

IFS EXCELLENT POINTS
Put on It in Full Committee in Spite of Judge ParHer's Friends of the Sub-Committee-A Further Discus. sion of the New Creed.

Lincoln, Neb., July 14.-Wm. J. ing statement relating to the demo- cratic platform adopted at St. Louis:
 l"The plank on imperialism is pos tive, strong and satisfactory to the en- tire party, and this question becomes the paramount issue of the campaign.
 ''The tariff plank is good, but it was made so on a close vote in committee and largely against the opposition C MT. Parker's adherents. The plank which was voted down favored a wise, conservative and business-like 1evis- ion, made with due regard to existing conditions. The committee thought these qualifying words emasculat d the nlank and made it weak and that it gave no hope to tariff reformers.
 'The antitrust plank is a good one. it demands enforcement of the crimi- nal clause of the law against trusts it demands the abolition of rebates and discriminations and 1t demands the withdrawal of interstate commerce privileges from trusts when once con- victed
 "The plank is infinitely superior to the republican plank, and with a president who desires to destroy the trusts, would be a sufficient plank, but as this trust plank was also sub- mitted by the full committee, there is reason to fear that it may not be in accordance with the ideas of the can. didate.
 "The labor plank is all that could be desired. It declares against govern by injunction, it faVors arbitration and denounces methods that have been employed in the Colorado strike, but as these blanks were added in full con- nittee some uncertainty exists as to the candidates position.
 The platform declares in favor of the reduction of the army. Upon this the committee was unanimous. The subcommittee reported a plank in fa- vcr of ali increase of the navy. but this was stricken out in full committee.
 The platform has a plank in favor of the enlargement of the scope of the interstate commerce commission and fin favor of irrigation. The general clauses of the platform excite no d:s- pute and the appeal against the in- troduction of the race issue ought to have weight with sober, thinking Americans.
 "Or the whole, the platform is good. From a western standpoint it's great est defect Is that it makes no mention of the money question. An attempt was made to secure a plank opposing the melting of silver dollars, opposing an asset currency, branch banks, and expressing preference for the United States note Ordinarily known as the greenbacII) over the bank note, bur having refused to put in a gold plank. the committee was not willing to have any phase of the money question allud- ed to. While the motion to reaffirm the Kansas City platform was voted down, there was considerable vote in favor of it's reaffirmatiion and the western members of the committee, together with solid south, stood togeth- CT and secured enough changes in tEe platform to make it a presentable doc- ument and worthy of the support Of the party

THE STRIKE ABOUT TOEND
Packers and Union Approaching an
 Arbitration.

Chicago, July 1.-The strike, which has demoralized the packing industry throughout the country has not yet been settled but there are indications that it will soon end by the adjustment of the difficulties by arbitration. After conference which lasted all of the afternoon between representatives of the packers and officials of the un- ions, the employers tonight are await ing an answer to q counter proposition, which they this afternoon submitted to M. J. Donnelly in reply to a state ment of the terms upon which he would be willing to make settlement.
 MT. Donnelly stated tonight that the counter proposition of the packers will be rejected and that he will in turn present counter proposition tomor- row. The hitch in the negotiations, is over the reinstatement of strikers. The union demands that every man who went on strike shall be given his old place before an agreement to arbitrate will be considered. The packers de clare that they will retain the men they have employed since the strike and will take back their old men in the order in which they file their ap- plications for their old positions.
 While the peace negotiations were in progress today. additional preparations were being made by the packers at the yards for a long siege. The packers hearing that efforts were being made to induce railroad men who are mem bers of the unions to refuse to handle the supplies for the plants where men are on strike, were busy all day putting in great stocks of coal lest the rail- road men should attempt to stop their supply.
