FIRST BALLOT A SCATTERER
First Ballot on the Democratic Candidate
for President Will Be a Scattering One.

st. Louis. July Cit now seems
probable that the Parker preponder-
ance among the delegates to the Dem.
ocratic national convention will not
cause any change in the compli
mentary votes Of the states instructed
for favorite sons on the first ballot
While the Parker column will probably
embrace the entire South and nearly
all the uninstructed states the dele
gates from Massachusetts, Wisconsin,
Delaware, California and Missouri will
for Olney, Wall, Gray, Hearst and
Cockrell, respectively. New Jersey is
not counted upon to vote for Parker
on the first ballot and while the deci-
sion of that delegation has not been
reached the present indications are
that it will join with Delaware in sup
port of Judge Gray. The Massachusetts
delegation has taken the additional
step of sending out missionaries in be-
half of Olney, but beyond a declara-
ton that it's delegation will hold stead
tasty to Wall Wisconsin is making no
formal attempt to bring any other
The California delegation maintains
its attitude that it will not waver in
its support of Hearst and confidently
believes that the New York candidate
cannot secure the necessary two
thirds vote.
In the meantime the Parker ad.
herents are calmly confident that no
possible combination can now defeat
him and while offering no opposition
to the casting of complimentary votes
contend that the avalanche will follow
that action and that the second ballot
will end the matter.
The Parker managers are confident
that the New York man will show a
clear majority on the first ballot and
that, following the precedent of all
former Democratic national conven
lions, this showing would Immediately
bring into line sufficient number OF
states to give him the necessary two
thirds of the total vote of the cenvon'

Russian Report Of the Battle.

St. Petersburg, July 6.-Thirteen
companies of Russian troops, sent out
by Lieutenant General Count Keller in
a reconnaissance in force to ascertain
the strength of the Japanese column
advance force moving on Liaoyang,
came into collision with the japanese
between Maotien and Fengshui passes.
Sharp fighting resulted and the Rus
SLAMS retired before ascertaining the
exact strength of the Japanese forces.
The Russian losses are officially stated
to be 200.
In case the information obtained by
General Keller leads General Kuropat-
kin to consider that Liaoyang is threat
ened it is probable that some of the
troops will return north from Tatche-
kiao. Then the Japanese are likely to
repeat their attempt to capture New
chwang.

St. Louis, July 6.-The democratic

FIRE At WORLDS FAIR.

St. Louis, July 6.-Fire broke out
early in the day in the kitchen of the
American cafe, in the Jerusalem Sec

than an hour threatened Festival hall.

salem exhibit After considerable ex-
citement among the Turks, Arabs and
other Oriental peoples, who were
asleep when the fire broke out, it was
gotten under control. The American
cafe, which is in two wings and elab-
orately furnished, was Quilted in both
wings. The loss is estimated at SIS 200.

FIGHT ON PLATFORM
Bryan Represents Nebraska on Reso-
lutions Committee.

st. Louis, July cat the meeting Of
the Nebraska delegation w. J. Bryan
was appointed to represent the state
on the committee on resolutions and
there was some discussion on the posi-
ton the state shall assume on the plat
form. Mr.. Rryan's contention will be
for the reaffirnation of the Kansas
City platform, but the delegation rec
ognizes the improba ability of securing
such a stand. The discussion was de-
voted largely to the consideration Of
what to do in that event. No conclu-
sion was reached, but the tendency is
to accept the situation if favorable
declarations can be secured. In that
event Mr.. Bryan will probably not
make platform fight on the conven-
ton floor. He has not formally de-
clared his position, but his fellow dele
gates thus interpret it.
