PEABODY TO BE TREASURER.
\ Georgian by Birth to Hold That
Office in the National Committee.
(By the Associated Press. }

Esopus, n. Y, Aug. 2.-The rumor
that George Peabody, of Brooklyn
would be treasurer of the National
Committee, was the only important
political topic attracting much atten-
ton here today. Judge Parker re-
fused to comment in any way on the
report, but it is believed to be we'll
founded, and unless some important
change in the situation is made neces
sary by later developments, the selec-
ton of Mr.. Peabody as treasurer will
be announced within twenty-four
hours.
1t is known that during the three
hours conference between Judge
Parker and Mr.. Peabody last Saturday
practically every important aspect of
the Democratic situation was dis
cuSsed.
1t is still blieved here that William
F. Sheehan viii be chairman of the
executive committee. and that the
finance committee will be amalga-
mated herewith. Mr.. Sheehan re-
mains in New York city, where it is
understood he is combining attention
to his legal business with a close CO.
operation in the affairs of the ma
tional committee, including the selec-
ton of new eastern headquarters.

She Could Not Pay Rent.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-The meat pack

strike claim to be in a better position
tonight than at any time since the
struggle began.
Despite the declarations of the
packers representatives the pens at
the stock yards are filed with cattle
and hogs that buyers make no BID
for in the market.
The packers today appealed for po-
lice protection for their distributing
plants at Sixteenth and State streets
and George street and Lincoln Ave
nue.. The branch houses of the pack
erS were surrounded by union pickctS
who turned back all the retail but
cheers with wagons after supplies of
meat. Police were dispatched to
prevent further interference with the
retailers.
The first eviction resulting from
the stock yards strike was made to-
day. A crowd of strike sympathizcrs
stoned two constables who put Mrs.
Mary Anderson out of her home in
Forty-fourth street for non payment
of rent. Mrs. Anderson's husband, a
striker, had left Chicago in search OF
work. The wife was i'll in bed when
she and her household goods were
carried out by consta bles. Mrs. An
derson was cared for by neighbors.
A patrol wagon of police stopped the

however, the crowd had wrecked the
cottage from which the woman had
been evicted. Nothing was left for
any other tenant except bare walls.

Esopus, N. Y, Aug. lit is expect
ed that the notification ceremonies
will take place about 2 p. m. on We'd
nesday of next week. The notification
committee will probably come to Rose
mount on a chartered steamer rather
than by special train, though arrange
ments to that end are not yet COM
plete. 1t is not yet settled how large
a company will be present at the cere-
monies, or who will be invited.
No visitors of political Importance
aside from E. c. Wall, of Wisconsin,
are looked for at Rosemount within a
day or two, though there are standing
Invitations to Democrats of note III
various parts of the country who may
come here any day. Among these are
National Committeeman Clayton, OF
Alabama; Mayor Patrick A. Collins,
Of Boston; Mayor Carter H. Harrison,
of Chicago; Representative w. r.
Hearst, Richard Olney, of Massachu-
sets; Senator Arthur Pue German,
Senator Joseph w. Bailey, Judge Gray,
of Delaware; Senators Daniel and Mar
tin, of Virginia, and many others of
national reputation.
Judge Parker refused to confirm the
report that he had accepted the invi-
tation of Norman E. Mack, the Ma
tional Committeeman from New York
state, to be with Mrs. Parker, his guest
at the st. Louis exposition on New
York State Day, October 4.
There is reason, however, to believe
that he might make such a trip as
this without violating the principle
upon which he has based his determi-
nation not to make any speech making
tour. The occasion is not to be politi-
cal.
The new railway station and other
improvements at Esopus. being made
by the West Shore Railway, will be
completed before the notification
Storekeepers and residents are prepar-
ing to make August 10 the greatest

morning while Mr.. c.. r. Loman. a
prominent Republican and citizen of
Monroe township was appealing to the
board for the laying out or road in
his section, began d series of ques-
tons of the petitioner was the nature
of the graft and the origin of it's in
lection in county gossip located. AL
though LOman denied having made
such charges, it was shown by num-
Der of reputable men that he had. and
Mr.. w. r. Robinson, another promi-
nent citizen and Republican of Mon
roe township, had specifically and in
duStriOuSly circulated the report that
the commissioners had been paving
the county superintendent of conyictS
a $40 bonus for every move of the
camps, although these camps were
moved by interested citizens without
expense to the county, and that the
profits were divided among certain
members of the board; that in addition
to this, the oVerseer was in the habit
of using the team, conVictS and tools
of the county for his own private pur-
poses, and in all these matters stood
in with the members of the Board of
Commissioners.
Chairman Raglan stated that there
vas not a word of truth in the charges,
as the county vouchers would show:
that while citizens had Il perfect right
to criticize acts of their representa-
tiVes in any capacity, they had no
right to circulate sladerous charges
and libelous reports. He further stat
ed to Mr.. Loman that on account of
the absence of the State solicitor and
the county attorney no positive ac-
'tlon would be taken at this meeting
against him and Mr.. Robertson, but as
soon as they returned he would turn
the matter over to them and take inn
mediate steps to punish them for con-
tempt, or have the board turned out
OF office for corruption. He said one
of the two things were necessary, and
he had no fears so far as the board
was concerned, of a full and public in
vestigation.

Der of years past closely identified with

city and containing d number of acres
of ground and a large and handsome
building formerly used as the dormi-

The price paid by Mr.. Huyler was
$4,000. When asked if Mr.. Huyler
had any special object in the purchase
of the property Mr.. Porter said that
he did not know, that all he could
say was that he had bought the prop
erty for Mr. Huyler for $4,000, that
the purchase was bona fide one and
that further than this he had moth
ing to say. Some are of the opinion
that Mr.. Huyler has secured posses
sion of the valuable property as "a
simple business proposition and as an
investment, while others believe that
the purchaser has in mind the estab
lishment of an educational or re-
ligious institution here. One gentle
man who is more or less familiar with
Mr.. Huyler's plans said he understood
that the New Yorker proposed to con-
vert the property into "a high class
residence park what ever that may
mean.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Aug. 2.-The

cratic convention tomorrow has shown
that III. G.. Davis, the Democratic can
didate for vice-president, is in abso-
lutte control. The Davis interest has
brought to the convention many older
Democrats who have not been in at
tendance regularly in recent years.
Owing to the fact that Mr.. Davis
up TO tonight has refused to express
preferences for the candidates, the
delegates are at sea regarding the
ticket. Judge John II. Holt is promi-
nently mentioned for governor

plank was marked out and again in
serted in the platform several times
tonight and unless Senator Davis exer-
cises his influence there will be a fight
on the race question i'm the committee
on resolutions and possibly in the con-
Vention. 1t was thought that the ad-
dress of Senator Davis would be fea-
ture of the convention, but tonight
decided that he would speak only on
State matters and not discuss any ma
tlonal questions. He may~not go into
the convention at all. He says that
until he has been officially notified of
his nomination he feels that it would
not be appropriate for him to speak

PLANS OF ANT1-SALOON MEN.
Organizing on All Sides, They May
Take a Hand at the Polls.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer.)
Durham, n. c., Aug. 1.-THE anti
saloon people are still organizing in
this county. At quite number of
places in the country thriving anti
saloon leagues exist. One has now
been organized at West Durham and
starts off with about one hundred
members.
At the organization ST this league
DR.. j. G. Kilgo delivered an address,
his subject being christian Citizen
ship" After his talk there were one
hundred names handed in as MEM
berS.
Officers were then elected, as fol-
lows: Prof. F. s. Aldridge, president;
j. r. Suit, first vice president; w. H.
Wood, second vice-president; Elwell
Somers, third vice-president; j. H.
Scott, secretary and treasurer. The
executive committee is composed of
B. N Mann. U. s.. Suit and j. c..
Daley
Speaking of organizing the country
districts a well known anti-saloon
supporter recently said that the coun-
ty was being organized for the pur-
pose of meeting any issue touching
the whskey question. 1t is learned
that the members will take a hand
in elections of representatives and
senator's. If man favors the Watts
law they will have nothing to say.
If he is against this law than the
league is organized and in good
working condition and an effort will
be made to defeat him. The anti
saloon people are also preparing for
another emergency. They think
that perhaps the whiskey question
may be left to the entire people, in
Guiding the country districts. If
this is done they will be in position
to carry their contentious in the coun-
try as well as cities.
Tomorrow morning the case against
Marion Norwood, the old man charg-
ed with shooting several boys he
caught in his water melon patch,
is set for trial. Both sides have en-
ployed lawyers and there will be
quite a lively fight.
The remains of Mrs. O. B. Fouchee,
who died in Dallas Texas, last Satur-
day. reached here this afternoon. The
interment toow place in MaplewOod

rect to the First Baptist church and

Russian Summary Of Situation.

ST. Petersburg, Aug. (ednesday)
$50 a. m.-Allowing for the ine-
Vitable conflict in names, the japanese
and Russian reports seem to agree on
the main points of the military de-
velOpmentS up to August l, but both
stop short at the interesting point,
namely, regarding what happened on
August 2 when it is possible that a
decisive struggle was going on east
and south of Lao Yang.
The usual crowds were assembled
around the bulletin boards outside the
office of the general staff unut long
after midnight, awaiting further OH
cial details but nothing was given
out beyond General Kuropatkln S
two official dispatches. 1T IS evident
from these dispatches and from the
japanese reports that the Russians
have abandoned Yangze Pass, falling
back on LiandianSian, strong de-
fensive position in the hills, twenty
four miles south of Lao Yang.
General Kuropatkin admits that
there were heavy losses along the
Saimatze-Liao Yang road July 81.
The official account is somewhat in
conclusive, but it indicates that
though the Russians withdrew from
their advanced posts Kuropatkin
hoped to be able to hold his main po-
sition even in the fact of the su-
perior Japanese force, and that he
evidently expected heavy fighting
along this line. probably about
Anping. This battle probably was
proceeding August 2, although the
dispatch reports that all was quiet up
to noon of August 1.
In the meantime Il serious enVel-
oping movement of three Japanese
divisions was maturing around the
Russian left at Haicheng, where there
already was heavy fighting on July
31st.
No news has been received from
