nents Consent.

Sharon, Pa, Aug. 16.-By the close
score of IL to 10, the Van Tassel Sons
baseball team lost it's first game at
Conneaut.
This is the only team in the United
States of its kind. 1t was organized

CRUSHING BLOW TO RUSSIA
Cars Subjects Believe Stormfng of
Port Arthur Near.

Cars Subjects Believe StorInng O1
Port Arthur Near.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 16, 3:1S Pm
The news of the defeat Of the vladt-
vostok squadron has added another
crushing blow to the reverse before
Port Arthur. No public announce
ment has yet been made of the sink
ing of the Rurik.
The Chi-fu report Of the sort1e OF
the Russian warshtps at Port Arthur
naturally cannot be confirmed, and
the admiralty Is puzzled to know
whether 1t refers to the ships which
remained in the harbor when the
main squadron went but Aug. 10, or to
ships Of the late Admiral Wtthoft's
original squadrons
In either event, however, It Is con-
strued as evidence that the shells of
the Japanese land batteries are fall
possible for the ships to remain there
any longer. It is also interpreted in
some quarters as indicating the eve
of the storming Of the fortress.
The admiralty has little information
today regarding the sea fight of Aug.
TO-, or the whereabouts OF five RUS
sian battleships and three cruisers un-
accounted for. Hope is still cherished
that they escaped and have reached
an appointed rendezvous.
The torpedoboat destroyer Skort Is
the only Russian destroyer sunk off
Wei-hai-wei.
Viceroy Alexieff has arrived at
Vladivostok. His army organ believes
the japanese armies may move
against Liao-yang any day, and does
not believe the reports that three ad-
ditional Japanese divisions have been
drafted to Port Arthur. It thinks the
Japanese are likely to spread such re-
ports in order to mislead General Ku-
ropatkin.

ROOSEVELT WILL
DISCUSS ISSUES
President Frames Letter of Ac-

Parker Speech.
From The Journal Bureau Colorado Building,

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, Aug. 16.-President
Roosevelt went over the first draft Of
his letter of acceptance with Postmas-
ter General Payne and Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson, after the regular
cabinet meeting today. The confer
ence lasted more than an hour and re-
suited in a definite understanding of
how the president will handle certain
questions which promise to be
prominent issues in the campaign.
2 I When the president delivered his
speech at the notification meeting he
was somewhat hampered in his treat
ment Of the main questions of this
campaign: because he did not know
from which direction the attack was
to come.
Now that Judge Parker has spoken,
the president knows that, the tariff, the
trusts and the labor situation, with the
Philippine policy as minor issue,
Stunning that they follow their leader.
These he will discuss fully and more
forcefully than he did in his speech
Of acceptance.
The president will undoubtedly have
something to say his decilnation to
interfere in Colorado to which Judge
Parker referred in his speech, and
Will also say some vigorous thlngs
about the Philippine policy.
It is understood that the presidents
letter of acceptance will be ready for
publication about Sept. 10.
The president also discussed the ap-
pointment Of an assistant secretary of
agriculture. but no decision was
reached. Officers Of the national
grange who saw the president about
that office several weeks ago have not
submitted their recommendation.
