LoNesHoREMEN TO ORGANIZE.
Idea Contemplated Is to Embrace All
 Cra.t in the World.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 12.-The ini- tial step toward the formation of an organization to include all the mari time crafts in the world was taken to- day by the convention of International Iongshoremen, Marine and Transport Workers association. The adoption of a resolution declaring in favor of the organization of a committee to consider ways and means for bringing it about is the fruitage of years of labor on the part of President Daniel Reef and other leaders.
 The association already has received applications from several of the marine labor organizations of the country, and is also directly in touch with the work CTS of contipenta. Europe, Russia, Ja- pan and other countries. A convention of marine Workers will be held on next Monaay ih Sweden, and the idea of forming d federation will be brought up.

FRIAR LANDS WILL
 BE PLACED ON SALE
PRESENT OCCUPANTS OF PROP ERTlES IN PHILIPPINES CAN EITHER BUY OR RENEW LEASE FOR THREE YEARS.

Washington July 12-The bureau of insular affairs of the war department has received a copy of an enactmenet of the Philippine commission providing for the and temporary leasing and sale of land commonly known as "friar lands" for the purchase of which the gov- ernment of the Philippine islands recent ly has contracted. 1t provides for sur yeys and permits the present occupants of any such lands to either buy or lease them. any leases to be for not more than three years and at a reasonable rental. Those wishing to purchase may do so at the actual cost to the government and will be allowed ten years in which to pay for the same in equal annual in- stallments with isterest on deferred pay ments at the rate of per cent. All un- occupied lands, or lands which the pres ent occupants do not desire to lease or buy will be offered for sale by the gov ernment to other parties. The act fur ther provides that all irrigating works, common to all properties, shall remain under the exclusive control of the gov ernment of the islands.
 All money derived from the leasing and sale of these lands is to constitute a trust for the payment of principal and in- terest of the bonds issued by the Philip nine government for the purpose of rais- ing money to pay the purchase price of these friar lands.

Japanese Are Moving Northward.

Tokio, July 12.--S D. m.)-The Japanese Takushan army is moving north from Siu Kan. It fought a series of small battles with the Russians on July and 10 The army is divided into two col umns which advanced against the Rus sians. When the first column approached Sin Kan the Russians retreated south west through the valley but at o'clock in the evening they took up position on the heights west of Chou Chia Chang The Russians were dislodged at dusk when the second Japanese column ad- vanced along the road toward Tong Chis, repulsing small bodies of the enemy en route.s They attacked the advance line of the Russians near Siu Tang Laku.
 Tine Russians were reinforced and com pelled the Japanese to withdraw. At dawn on July 10, both columns attacked the Russians from the heights west of Sin Chla Ku The Japanese pursued them and again attacked a strong position held by the Russians at Siu Tehi Kou.
 After the desperate fight the Japanese occupied the position. After occupying Kal Chou, General Oku's army on Sunday moved northward The Russians have strong defenses at Taipingshan. Niuseni- han. Nangmatai, Chinghisban and camps near Kuo Chia Piao. General Oku will probably attack these positions as soon as his troops are rested.
 In the fights of July and 9 the Japa- nese lost about 150 men. The Russian losses are believed to have been heavier than the Japanese

STEPHAN SPENDS DAY AT
 ESOPUS WITH MR. PARKER

outgoing chairman, who is said to be in Washington.
 The formal notification of Judge Parker will take place at Rosemont within a fortnight, but the convenience of several members of the notification committee will be consulted before the call for the meeting is issued.
 It is beginning to be a source of some wonder as to what has become of the telegram to Judge Parker which was for mally adopted by the St. Louis conven- tion Saturday night. It has not reached Esopus and Judge Parker knows its tenor only from the Associated Press bulletin which was telegraphed to him that night, and from the newspapers of the next day. It may have gone astray. as did the Hearst telegram which reached Judge Parker only after it had been duplicated twenty-four hours after it was filed at Chicago.
 Judge Parker sent to former President Cleveland this evening a letter in reply to the latter's telegram of congratuiation and commendation The letter Is of con siderable length. but it's contents have not been made public.
 Former United States Senator David B. Hill has not come to Rosemont since the convention, and it is not known that he is coming, though he has a standing invitation from Judge Parker to visit him. It is said indeed, that Senator Hill has not been in Esopus for many months
 MT. Sheehan will go to New York to- morrow to spend two or three days oh an errand, the nature of which he refused to explain.

J. s. WILLIAMS IS PROUD
 OF JUDGE PARKER'S STAND

'The Bryan men," continued MT. VII Hams, must take the result of the con vention all right at least those who have democratic applications and leavings or course, the middle of the road populists in the southern and border states hate the democratic party and could not be satisfied anyway. l asked MT, Bryan when he was on the platform if he denied the proposition that the silver question was or could be an issue. I challenged him to rise and say so If he believed it could be so. He kept his seat. That set- ties the question with a man of his hon esty of purpose and rectitude of eharac- ter that he would give his support to the ticket notwithstanding that he didn't want the nominee and wanted in the plat form several things which are not there. Bryan is young yet and laudibly ambi- tious. He is opposed To militarism. im- perialism, absolutism in government, CO., lonial exploitation, executive usurpation, an extortionate tariff, and combinations of capital seeking monoply commonly called trusts.
 The republican party stands for every one of these things and does not stand for him on free silver. Hence the dem :.cratic party, which also does not stand Ter flee silver, must lead him to support democratic principles, and the platform amt it's candidate. He would have no where 1, go, except the populists. The pOpusts are state socialists and Bryan is not ana never has been. Besides all that you nave got to keep the factor of hereditary in view Bryan's forbearers were democrats Like a good old nigger Baptist l knew who said the preacher did not suit him. the congregation was not acting right. and all of them seemed to be getting away from his notion of things, but in comparison to them Meth odists, them Presbyterians, and them other cattle. the Baptists are an angel of light I'm going to live and die a Bap-

Japs Keep Moxements seeret.

St. Petersburg July 13, 3.14 a. m.-The Japanese advance to Ia Tche Kiao is shrouded in mystery. No teleg1ams have been received by the general staff or the admiralty since Lieutenant General Sak- harof's dispatch of July 10
 The special commission of censors sat for only one hour last evening. because 1t was holiday. the festival of St. Peter and St. Paul, and left without receiving or giving out of single dispatch The lack of news from Ia Tche Kiao ia not causing anxiety. The evening editions of the St. Petersburg newspapers promi- nently published the telegram from To- kio reporting an appearance of the Port Arthur squadron on the morning of July Q and thus gladdened the hearts of the holiday crowd.
 1t has been intimated to the Associated Press correspondent that the general stan does not think it probable the Japanese will attempt to take Yin Row before they capture Ia Tche Kiao, as otherwise thsy would be liable to an expected attack from Ia Tche Klao which is within easy striking distance, thanks 'o the railroad. The Japanese advance north will pernaps be delayed for some days until the south eastern columns converging at Siadian compel Major General Mistchenko to draw off leaving the Siu Yen road c'ear to Tantchie and Ia Tche Kiao. As soon as the Japanese troops enter Yin Row and succeed in removing the mines from the mouth of the Liao river, the Japan csc gunboats lying along the coast will come up, but it is not believed that LEO Japanese will venture to land considcra- ble force or to send war material so iong as the Port Arthur squadron is abs to come out whenever 1t likes
 There is some anxiety here regarding q report that the cruiser Askold has been damaged, and 1t is noticed that she was not mentioned in the list of warships con- stituting the squadron on its last ap- pearance.

Esopus, N. Y July 12.-The return here convention marks the opening of the dem ocratic national campaign which will be largely conducted at Esopus. Actual plans for the campaign have not been complet- ed, but it is probable Judge Parker will remain at Rosemont most of the summer and fall.
 Judge Parker was routed out of bed at o'clock this morning by one of his coach horses getting loose from the barn and galloping around the barn yard. He and Secretary McCausland dressed and went to the barn. They were unable to find a lantern and McCausland finally brought a candle from the house. This dim light made it difficult to locate the horse, which continued moving around the barn yard. After ten minutes the horse was secured.
 Mir. Sheehan remained with Judge Par ker for several hours, but neither would discuss the conference. Regarding the chairmanship of the national democratic committee they were also silent.
 It is known that Mr. Sheehan is very much averse to the proposition that he should take the position himself, believ- ing that he can be of more service to the party in other ways. At any rate, it may be said upon authority that nothing has been settled on the subject There is a rumor in Kingston tonight that Judge Parker wants the chairmanship to go to Senator German, but no verihcation is possible The meeting of the democratic committee will be called for an early date in New York city by Senator Jones, the

He will spend several weeks there, after which he will. upon the advice of his physician, make a trip to Europe. returning in time to take the stump for Parker and Davis In the pivotal states
 'sThe telegram of Judge Parker and the conventions reply" said MT. Williams to- night, "has beyond doubt strengthened the democratic nominee for this reason the sole objection to Judge Parker has been that he was not an affirmative char acter It has been charged that he was somebody else's man. especially Hills man. This shows that he is not only an affirmative man. but has conservatism and honor. He would not let Hill or any one else decide what was right under the circumstance.
 "The very fact that he did do what Hill expressed regret at shows that he would give us not only an administration of con servatism, but one which would be de- depended upon to do the right thing at the right time. There is another character istic Judge Parker shows. that he is not a dictator. not a man who dictates. He did not ask the convention to place n its platform the money plank. nor did he wait as he might readily have done, to outline his views in a letter of aceept- ance The very fact that he thought it necessary to submit his views on a point wherein the platform was silent Is proof positive that he stands on the platform, is its servant, else he would have er,oir ar, n11f
