KNIGHT COMMANDER CASE.
Russian Reply to Great Britain Does
Not Recede

ST. PETERSBURG, August lO.-The
Russian reply to Great Britains represen-
tatiens on the subject of the sinking of the
British steamer Knight Commander by the
Vladivostok squadron, while couched in the
friendliest terms, does not recede from the
Russian position set forth in the prize
regulations, in regard to the exercises of
the right to destroy neutral vessels carry
Ing contraband in cases of emergency, re-
serving the question for discussion after
the war. At the same time Russia assures
Great Britain that the extreme recourse to
SINKING neutral vessels, announced Au-

cumstances render it impossible to take
them to a prize court

NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS
Holcomb Seems to Have Best Chances

entirely in doubt when the convention was
called to order here today. Judge Hol-

of Fremont, both democrats, appeared To
have an equal chance with him.
Throughout the night efforts were made
to unite upon candidate who could COM
mand support from both parties. but TO-
day the matter was as much unsettled as
ever. A persistent story to the effect that
little opposition will be made to Roosevelt.
and that the fusionists will bend all their
efforts toward carrying the legislature so
that Mr. Bryan may go to the Senate, was

1t was practically settled that there
should be two electoral tickets in the field
one democratic and the other populist, but
that the same names for state Offices and
the legislature should appear on the two
tickets. This would almost certainly give
the state to Roosevelt, at the same time
giving the fusionists a better chance to
elect a United States senator.

JACKSON NOMINATED.
First Maryland District Democrats
Name Him for Congress

Special Dispatch The Evening Star
OCEAN CITY, Md, August 10-The first
Maryland district convention this afternoon
made eX-Gov Elihu E. Jackson democratic
nominee for Congress, thus placing him in
opposition to his brother, Representa- tive
William H. jackson, who was renominated
by the republicans here last week.
Jackson was not an avowed candidate,
but former Gov. John Walter Smith, whom
he beat for the United States Senate at
Annapolis last winter. by throwing eastern
shore votes to Rayner of Baltimore, today
urged the nomination of his unrelenting
foe and himself made the speech in con-
Ventlon presenting his name.
There was no other candidate before the
convention, eX-State Statistician Thomas
A Smith, who had been supported by sew
eraI counties, withdrawing when the Wor-
cester ex-governor declared himself.
Henry r. Lewis of Caroline presided, and
the resolutions, prepared by former Rep
tesentative Joshua w. Miles, who aided in
the election of Rayner, strongly condemn
Roosevelt and his policies and praise
Parker.
The reason given for Jaeksons nominal
ton is that he is the only man in the dis
trict of sufficient wealth and influence. with
the exception of Gov. Smith, to defeat his
brother.
Last night Governor Smith refused to ac-
cept the nomina ton. Governor jackson is
already a candidate for presidential elector
on the state democratic ticket. The fight
this fall promises to be sensational one.
The Smith people assert their entire loyalty
to Jackson. There is some speculation to
the effect that Governor Jackson will re-
fuse to make the run. Twice in the last
four years he has refused to signify a will
ingness to take the nomination, although
afterward it was made clear that he was
offended at not receiving it.
This time the convention nominated him
and adjourned without previously tender
ing him tine honor.

Nervousness over the situation at the front
seems to be increasing since the occupa-

fore Port Arthur. 1t is admitted that the
besiegers have an elevated position, whence
emplaced guns can command the fortress,
and while still processing confidence that
General Stoessel will be able to hold out

Emperor Nicholas has received dispatches
from Gen. Kuropatkin, dated August and
., mentioning few minor "Reminiscences,
but saying that there has been no particu-
lar change in the position on either the
east or south fronts On the south the
japanese advance posts are nine miles
north of Haicheng. Daily fusillades occur
between the Russian and Japanese out
posts.
Gen. kuropatkin points out the fact that
the japanese are using bullets of different
caliber, some with nickel and others with
copper coverings, showing that their re-
serve men are now in the fighting line.

A LONG MARCH.
Cavalry Ordered From Northern Ver-

Orders were issued at the War Depart
ment today for the two squadrons of the
10Th Cavalry, stationed at Fort Ethan AL
len, Vermont. to march from that post to
Manassas, Va. to take part in the maneu-
vers next month, distance of about 700
miles. 1t is calculated that the trip will
occupy about three weeks time, and the
troopers will undoubtedly pass through
Washington in order to cross the Potomac.
This is probably the longest march of
United States troops in recent times, and
is in the nature of an experiment.
