Rumors Are Denied.

Washington, July 4.-The Japanese min ister has received a cablegram from the Tolxio government announcing that the chief of staff of the second army on the Iio Tung peninsula reports that there was no encounter between the Japanese and Russian armies on June F at any place along the lines not even a skirmlsh occurring between scouting parties. This report Is in reply to the speclhc accusa- tion that three Russians left wounded on the field that day were treated saYageiy and inhumanely by Japanese cavalry. me chief of staff adds that no such act was committed by Japanese soldiers either then or after the battle on June To, but that on the contrary the Russian wounded on the latter occasion were treated pre- cisely like the Japanese, and that they. as well as the injured prisoners seemed deeoly impressed with the kindness shown them. The Russian dead, the cablegram says, were treated with respect and were buried in due course.
 MT. Takahra, the Japanese minister, said he was certain his government would not have dignified this rumor by denial had 1t not been for the insistence with which 1t had been reiterated, and even amplified by section of the European press The treatment of Russian prls- oners by the Japanese, he said, is mat ter of common knowledge. and the Rus sians themselves have testified to its kind and humane character.

Japs Have Lost Opportunity.

St. Petersburg, July 4.--A war corre- spondent who has arrived from Mukden expresses the opinion that with the rainy season at hand the Japanese have lost their opportunity of dealing General Ku- iopatkin a crushing blow. He says that neither the world in general nor the Japanese knew how weak the Russian army was in the earlier stage of the war, and asserts that practically the Russian army was non-existent, but when he left June IS Kuropatldn had 125,O0O men and endorsements were pouring in at the rate of 20OO a day.
 The correspondent thinks the Japanese could have done anything if they had pressed the campaign with vigor. During the three months delay in cutting off Port Arthur the Russians rushed in muni- tions and provisions. When the battle of the Yalu occurred, the correspondent con- tinues Kuropatkin had all in readiness to go to Krin. He thinks the vaunted Japa- Iese secret service is very defective be- cause 1t did rot discover the situation and says it is now too late, as at the end of the rainy season Kuropatkln will be strong enough to assume the offensive.
 A further mobilization order affecting the reserve officers is expected from St. Petersburg, Noygoroda, Piskof and Baltic provinces. The order will also affect horses.

PULLMAN DECLARES
 FOR JUDGE GEO. CRAY
Says He Is the Truest Representative of the Democracy Handed Down
 From the Fathers.

St. Louis, July 4-"Because he is a straight out democrat of the open and above board type. man who stands for the democracy which has come down to US from the fathers and Is in my opinion far and away the strongest man whom the democrats can put in the field, hear tily favor the nomination of Judge George Gray of Deleware for the persidency" said Senator Tilman of South Carolina tonight.
 Tn speaking of Judge Gray I know, whereof 1 speak" continued the senator. "I served with him in the senate, and we in the senate can testify to his abil- ity, his integrity and his many other qualifications for the presidency. He stands for and represents those very prin- cples which the democrats need to put forward in the coming campaign and which the people of this country are look ing"
 Regarding the platform. Senator Tin- man said:
 T am opposed to putting any of last years eggs in last years bird nests We need a new nest and a new set of eggs. You ask me about MT. Cleveland. The democrats will not dare sound that mans name in the convention for the presidency, because the howl of rage that would be raised would drown everything else'

DRAMATIC SCENE
 IN MIR. BRYAN'S ROOM
Colonel Holt of North Carolina Asks Question and Is InsuIted By
 Answer.

St Louis. July 4.-(Special. IA dramatic incident occurred in w J. Bryan's quar- ters at the Jefferson hotel tonight. The constant reports to the effect that Bryan would bolt the nominee of the convention lead several delegates to conclude that they would go to MT. Bryan and see him personally. Among the delegates were three from North Carolina, Messrs. Tay- Tor, Holt and Powers, and one from Illi- nois and one from Virginia. Mir. Bryan was asked the direct question by Colonel Holt.
 ''Will you support the nominee%'
 Mir Bryan placed his hand upon his heart and replied:
 ''I do not ask any person or party how I shall vote. This is responsible only"
 Colonel Holt Said:
 ''Mr. Bryan, l supported you; will you support the nominee?"
 Bryan responded:
 Would you support Roosevelt?"
 Quick as a flash Colonel nolt said:
 ''Mr Bryan. I consider that an insult and apologize to the democrats of North Carolina for having cast my vote for you.'
 The delegation immediately went out of the room, leaving MT. Bryan alone.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

St. Louis, July s4.-Parker. on the sec ond ballot. perhaps on the first.
 That is tonight the claim of the men who are in charge of the political affairs of the New York candidate. All day long the Parker opponents have tried to per- feet a programme which would prclong the balloting and afford an opportunity to name another candidate, but apparent lv they have not succeeded. Many com binations have been suggested, but so far they seemed to have proven incapable of being assembled into shape sufficiently substantial to show the independent and uninstructed delegates how ano,ner ca1s- didate can be named. Men who are sup posed to hold the balance of power, have asked Parker opponents to say what would be done after Parker had been put out of the race. but tonight they say they have received no satisfactory an- swer.
 Action taken by the Pennsylvania dele gation tonight by the overwhelming vote of 57 to to vote for Parker, onfy served to emphasize this view of the outcome.
 German. Gray and Clevesand have been suggested, but no one is prepared to give assurance that either could receive the nomination. The mention of Cleveland has a tendency in some quarters to solid

London. July 5.-The Standards Tien Tsin correspondent, under date of July l. says that since June 27 the Japanese main squadron has been engaged in land ing men at Delny preparatory to final attack on Port Arthur. He adds that the Japanese land operations in the rear of Port Arthur probably will bring mat ters to a final issue within the next few days.

GORMAN'S FRIENDS ARE
 STILL WORKING VERY HARD
Quite an Impetus Given the candi- dacy of Judge Gray During the 0ay-cleveland Is Still
 Discussed.
BY. E. W. BARRETT.

St. Louis July 4.-(Special)-At mid night the indications favor Parker's nomi- nation. It may be on the first ballot. It may be later. The Pennsylvania delega- ton met tonight and decided to vote for Parke, on the first ballot. It had here tofore been considered for German. The statement was made in this delegation that Senator Gormans son had announced that his father would not be candidate, but would support Parker. The Pennsyl- vania delegation then voted 6S to , for Parker Afterwards the statement that young German had declared his father out of the race was denied and strong effort will be made to have the Penn sylvania delegation reconsider it's action, but 1t is doubtful whether this can be done.
 Immediately after Pennsylvania acted the cry went up in all the hotels that Parker would be nominated on the first ballot. Later however, there was a rally The Maryland leaders said that they were first, last and all the time for Cor man. Leader Murphy of Tammany gave cut a. statement at midnight showing 4O9 votes positively against Parker and 124 doubtful which would prevent ParNer's nomination on the first. He also an- nounced that MT. Guffey, the Pennsyl- vania leader, stated to him after Pennsyl- vania's action that his delegation would only vote for Parker on two ballots.
 Working Vigorously Against Parker.
 He and the New York city organization including many of the New York dele gates are working vigorously to defeat Parker, yet Maryland and New Jersey announce with him tonight to vet push German, but it does look like Pennsyl- yania's sudden action has caused stam- pede for Parker and that he will De nominated. Alabama could not be in- duced to leave Parker for any one but German, and if German is out of it as indications are at this hour, Alabama will lead off for Parker. The people who claim that Parker has it sure tonight are already talking the vice presidency, and quite a boom is being started for Marshall Field of Chicago
 In order that the situation may be clearly understood as 1t has progressed today and 1t has changed wired the fol- lowing dispatch at 6 o'clock this after noon It contained the news then. The above is the situation tonight It looks like a walkoVer for Parker:

HEARST MEN ARE FIRM.
Leaders Are Confident That Illinois
 Will Remain True.

St Louis. July 1.-The Hearst people re- mained buoyant during the day and al his headquarters his managers said that all the delegates that were instructed and pledged would stand firm and vote for Hearst to the last. They were assured by John R. Hopkins of the Illinois dele- gation that Hearst would receive the solid vote of Illinois as long as he was In ths field.
 large amount of Hearst literaturs was distributed among the delegates to- day. showing all he had done for reform and for the party.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-07-05
Parker Continue in Lead.

The situation tonight IS unchanged. Parker continues to lead and the best indications are that the nominee of the convention will be either Parker or Cor man. German yet in a large measure con- trols the situation. He has the Mary. land New Jersey, West Virginia and Pennsylvania delegations with him, and it is a known fact that the Hearst and Bryan strength, as well as the Missouri and the Wisconsin delegations, will go to him in preference to Parker. The argu- ment which the Parker people are making to MT Guffey the leader of the party del- egation, Is that all the southern states are for Parker and that Pennsylvania. being a republican state, should not antagonize the wishes of real democratic states of the union.
 The answer to this is that majority Of the southern delegates and southern peo- pie would prefer German to Parker. A strong effort is being made to get the Alabama delegation to lead off for Cor man. Should Alabama's vote go that way, 1t Is known that Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia. New Jersey and South Cal olira would vote for German fon the first ballot and Kentucky, Virginia. Texas and other southern states would go tor the Marylarder after the second bal lot. Indeed, it is said that the personal preference of the majority of the dele gates from these states is for German.
 Slightly Favors Parker.
 Just what the Alabama delegation will do Is not yet definitely known though the prevailing sentiment at this time. seems to be slightly in favor of casting the vote for Parker on the first ballot. However, there are those who believe Ala hama's first vote will be for German. Several of the delegates from New York who are instructed for Parker called upon Alabama delegates today to say that in their opinion Parker could not carry New York and they hoped Alabama would not lend it's support to his nomination.
 The anti-Parker delegates from New York want Cleveland nominated but from canvass of the situation today they have learned that there is no prospect of stam- nedine the convention for Cleveland nor Inf forcing him upon it. They are there fore now urging the nomination of Cor man and making the declaration that newt to Cleveland he is the strongest dem .ocrat who can possibly be named. Lead or Murphy of Tammany and the men u.bo are accustomed to bringing about democratic majorities in New York state declare that Girnan can undoubtedly car ry New York over Roosevelt.
 The western delegation are almost unanimously against Parker and are urg- ing the Maryland people to formally place Senator Germans name before the con- vention in order that they may go for him when it Is developed that the men they are now supporting cannot be nominated senator Germans friends have hesitated
