Up to date Democratic conventions
have been held in twenty-four states,
one territory and the District of Co
lurnbia. The above table shows that
the number of uninstructed delegates
exceeds the number Of instructed
votes for Judge Parker or any other
individual candidate. 1t is known,
however, that many Of the uninstruct-
ed delegates are favorable to Parker,
but they go to st. Louis with the inten-
ton of doing whatever may be regard
ed as best for the general welfare Of
the Democratic party.
Keeping an Eye on Texas.
Considerable interest is attached to
the Texas convention. Senators Bailey
and culberson are divided in opinion as

Beaver, Pa, May 2S.-Mathew Stan

2:4S o'clock this afternoon, after an
illness which had been more or less
persistent for the last year, which took
a turn for the worse ten days ago and
which the doctors diagnosed as chronic
gastritis.
The funeral will be at o'clock on
the afternoon of Tuesday, May 81, and
the remains will be inferred in the his
toric family burial plot in Beaver Gem

Senator Quay's illness began about a
year ago. 1t was a recurrence of the
trouble that beset him during the lat
ter part of 1900 and the early days of
January, 1901, when he was undergo
ing the strain of a desperate fight for
reelection to the Senate.
For a time he seemed improved and
gave much of his time to outdoor ex-
ercise. Never a strong man physically,
Senator Quay prided himself on his
endurance and believed firmly that
outdoor life would restore him to health
and give him years longer lease of life.
Ate and Smoked Too Much.
Senator Quay, in health, was a great

says:
Unless the courts intervene the en-

acres of land surrounding the town
will be sold at public sale June Q, on
an order granted by the probate court
of Lonoke county to the heirs of the
original owner of the land.
The order was secured by the guard
ian of three minor heirs Of a French
man named Comino, who years ago
owned all the land on which the town
of Carlisle now stands, as well as much
of the surrounding country. The origi-
nal owner sold most of the land years
ago. but in 1879, presumably to mako
the title clear, he secured a patent
from the state for the whole tract. He
failed, 1t is said, to make new deeds,
however, for the land which he had
sold, and as a result the heirs now
claim the property. Three Of the grand
children of the original owner now re-
side in Louisiana, claim an undivided
sixteenth of the property and through
their guardian secured an order for the
sale of the whole tract.

They retired from the field beaten, and
they failed to rally at Nanquan Ling,
where it was anticipated that second
stand would be made.
The desperate onslaughts Of the Jap
ansse on the nights Of Nanshan were
telling, for the Russians left 800 dead
in the trenches there. A complete
search of this field is expected to show
a greater number of dead.
Nanquan Ling was occupied yester-
day morning by force of infantry, ar
tillery and engineers, under the COM
mand of Gen. Nakamura. The main
Japanese force spent Friday night in
the villages around Nanshan. The SOL
diers were greatly fatigued as re-
suit of the constant fighting, but they
entered with much spirit upon the new
operations.
A force of Russians held San Chilipu
station. which is northwest of Dalny,
but the Japanese drove them out. The
Russians abandoned and burned the
station, and retired in the direction Of
Port Arthur.
The estimates of the Russians en-
gagged in the defense of Kin Chou, Nam
shan hill and the south shore of Ia
Aen Wan bay, but it is evident
mat the Russians drew many men from
the forces at Port Arthur. and offered
all the resistance possible.

forces at Port Arthur, was in Sarsonal
command of the recent operations. AS
soon as the Japanese troops have rest
