ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS MEET
DELEGATES TO ST. LOUIS WILL
PROBABLY BE INSTRUCTED
FOR HEARST.

Springfield. H.. June 15-The Dem
Ocratic state convention was called to
order with all the delegates keyed up
in expectation of the fight which was
expected on the selection of a tenn
porary chairman. Policemen were
scattered literally throughout the hall
and the Hopkins people, who had the
appointment of doorkeepers and con-
trolled the seating arrangements of
the hall, used their utmost endeavor to
see that few people who We're not
fright" were admitted to the floor of
the convention hall. Every ticket was
compelled to pass the inspection of a
line of doorkeepers.
Immediately after the reading of the
call for the convention Chairman Hop
kins of the state central committee
presented to the convention for tenn
porary chairman Frank p. Quinn of
Peoria. There was brief outburst of
cheers from the Hopkins people as
Quinn grasped the gavel. Trouble
came very quickly alter Chairman
Quinn had taken up the gavel. He or
dered the roll of the districts read for
the names of men selected at the eau
cuses for the various committees. M.
B. Cagney of the Third district jumped
up ard shouted:
There is contest in the Third dis
triet."
The chairman paid no attention and
only smiled softly when Cagney shout
ed
I'VE want no gag rule in this con-
vention."
The cry was taken up by others and
In a short time the Third district peo-
pie had worked themselves into a
frenzy. The chairman, however. quiet
ly ordered the clerk To keep on read
ing and the roll call was continued,
although it was not audible ten feet
from the stage. Immediately after the
roll call of comittees had been read the
convention took a recess until $3.50
O'Clock.
The Harrison and Hearst factions
have formed an alliance and dele
cation to St Louis instructed to sup
port the New York newspaper man for
president is probable.

FIGHTING FORCE INCREASED
RUSSIAN ARMY RESERVES IN
THREE MILITARY DISTRICTS
CALLED OUT.

st. Petersburg, June 15.-The call
Ing out of the army reserves In the
Kazan, Kieff and Moscow military dis
tricts was announced during the day.
This step is for the purpose of filling
up the skeleton reserve corps and TO
replace the regular troops already gone
or going to the front. 1t also fore
shadows the dispatch of four Volga
corps, which was predicted in these
dispatches a month ago. The latter
would give General kuropatkin 100000
more men.
The Novoe Vremya's military expert
authoritatiyely denies the report that
General Stackelberg is on the march
south. He declares that the only Rus
sian forces on the Liaotung peninsula
above Port Arthur consist of cavalry
and railroad guards and adds that it
is scarcely possible to interfere with
the siege operations before Port Ar
thur. The chief mission of the Rus
sian cavalry detachment, he says, is
to hamper the movements OF the Jap
anese columns from the south 10 the
north

his wife were found dead in their room
in an apartment house during the day,

captives Of Moroccan Bandit May Not
Be Released This Week.

Tangier, June ia courier, from
Raisuli, the bandit chief who kid
mapped Messrs. Perdicaris and Varley,
arrived here during the night United
States Consul General Gummere and
the British minister subsequently Wis
tied Mohammed FL Torres, the repre-
sentative of the sultan of Morocco, to
discuss the contents of Raisuli's mes
sage.
The distance of Raisuli's headquar-
tiers makes the negotiations drag. II
is now thought possible that the cap
tives will not be released this week.

ing that the negotiations for the re-
lease of Perdicaris and Varley have

Outposts East of Liaoyang.

North of Fengwangcheng the Japan
ese are also moving. The war office
has no advices confirmatory OF their
abandonment of Saimatsza tnorth OF
Fengwangcheng and east-southeaSt OF
Iiaoyang). On the contrary the latest
reports are TO the effect that the Jap
anese hold SaimatsZa, their outposts
reaching as far north as Fenshuylln
pass (about due east of Liaoyang),
which is held by the Russians.
A Japanese force of 5000 men is re-
ported TO be moving north from Huan-
diansiang, thirty miles from Sal
matsZa.
The Japanese are strongly fortify-
ing Fengwangcheng as a precaution
against possible disaster.
The war office has adyices since
June II from Pulantien Tin the south
ern part OF the Liaotung PENINSULA
and they do not mention the reported
Japanese ambush OF that date, result
ing i'm the loss in that vicinity to the
Russians of 500 men. Neither has the
war Office anything confirmatory of the
reported ambushing and almost total
destruction by the Russians Of two
japanese battalions on the Haicheng
road The officials OF the war office
discredit both reports.
Private but reliable adviees from
Port Arthur dated June 8 are to the
effect that the Japanese on that date
were still considerable distance from
the Notifications. No mention was
made of an engagement.

OCCUPANCY OF WEIHAIWEi.
British Control Will End With Fall of
Port Arthur.

London, June 15.-It appears from a
question and answer in the house of
commons during the day that the fall
of Port Arthur will mark the end of
British tenancy of Weihaiwei, on the
Shantung promontory. Earl Percy,
the under foreign secretary, informed
the house that under the Anglo-Chi-

CONSIDERABLE ACTIVITY C-,h G
DISPLAYED IT ALL THEIR
ADVANCE LINES.
OBJECT DISCUSSED BY THE RUSSIANS
THINK JAPS INTEND TO OCCUPY
NEWCHWANG AND USE 1T
AS A NEW BASE.

st. Petersburg. June 15.-The JAP
anese are displaying activity at all
their advance lines.
According to information in the pos
session of the war Office two divisions
of the enemy are now marching north
along the railroad towards Vafangow
twenty-five miles above Kinchou)
They are having constant skirmishes
with the retiring Russians, but the ad-
vance is not being seriously contested.
Although it is too early TO determine
the exact purpose of the advance the
presumption of the general staff is
that the northward movement is in
tended to effect juncture at Kaichou
with the column from Siuyen, which is
still moving westward.
The bombardment of the coast near
Kaichou and the blockade OF New
chwang might indicate that the ulti-
mate object of the combined move
ment is To clear the Liaotung penil-
sula of Russians and occupy New
chwang as a new base. The garrison
at Newchwang. it is claimed here, re-
mains undiminished but it is not be-
lieyed that the Russian plans contem-
plate a serious attempt to hold New
chWang.
