is not inclined to credit the reports
that the Japanese have captured two
forts just beyond Nugouship hill, five
miles northeast OF Fort Arthur.
It is admitted that possession OF
these forts would render the situation
Of the besieged desperate. All military
operations In Manchuria have, 1t is as

Torrential downpours have swept
away many bridges and traffic ON the

The defeats which the Russians have

REPUBLICANS GRATIFIED BY HIS
 70 '' CANDIDACY.
As for the Democrats They Look Upon the Illinois Man As Adding to Negative Character of the
 Ticket

Washington, May 14.-(Special)- Republicans, as they come to town, ex- press themselves as well pleased with the decision that Representative Hit shall be the Republican nominee for Vice President.
 Democrats look at the idea as neith- CT adding to nor subtracting from the strenuous negative character of the Roosevelt ticket.
 Senator Daniel of Virginia was at the White House today and waiting re- porters sought to bring him out on whether he would accept the Demo- cratic nomination for Vice President. Senator Daniel Is well beloved by his fellow Senators and Democrats in Con. gress generally who look upon him as great enough to fill with splendid grace and ability any office within the gift of the people. But he Is not looking for that sort of preferment and as he was a Confederate soldier he depre- cates the use of his name for any na- tional elective office.
 An intimate friend today said that the distinguished Virginian would like no better place than Senator from his own State. except, possibly. to be At torney- General in case of Democratic success in November

DEAN PExNrMAN ON AT MARION.
Eloquent Addresses Delivered by the
 Noted Pennsylvania Editor.


 Noted Pennsylvania Editor.
 Marion, May 14-(Special. )-Dean Pen niman of the University of Pennsylvania delivered two able and interesting ad- dresses at the Marion Military Institute today and yesterday afternoon before large and appreciative audiences which crowded the institute chapel.
 He spokke on University education and the duties of life. It has rarely been the privilege of the people of Marion to hear an address of more eloquent earn estness. The theme of the distinguished speaker was that educated men owe to the community their best efforts and in- fiuences and that special opportunities always impose special obligations.
 The end of culture is not in itself. but in the service 1t can render to the world.
 This morning before the students of the institute. he spoke on the call to service in a. young mans life. This call comes. the speaker said. in the awakening of a sense of personal obligation and a reali- zation that the life of each individual should be regarded as an opportunity for some worthy work for humanity.
 The students of the institute gave Dean Penniman an enthusiastic reception. He uon their hearts by his charming per- sonality and his eloquent address last commencement, and on his visit this ses- sion the students of the institute and tbe people of the town as well accorded him an ovation.
