PARKER STUCK TO THE TEXT
Indignant Over Report That He Made
Interpolation in Recent Speech.

Esopus, y. Y. Aug. 13.-Ex-Judge
Parker made no Interpolation on the
gold standard in his speech OF accept
anCc at the ceremonies which occurred
at RosemOunt Wednesday. His manu-
script. az given in advance to the
press. was followed to the letter. This
statement is made upon the authority
of several newspaper men who follow
ed the speech during its delivery.
Some Indignation is felt at Rosemount,
however. at what appears to Mr.. Par
kcT to be an attempt to create the i'm
preston that he had written one
speech and delivered another. The al
legged interpolation is as follows:
l want my position on this question
thoroughly understood. | thought II
was understood before | sent my tele-
gram to the st. Louis convention. But
III order that there may be no misun-
dcrstanding in the future | desire to
rciterate on this occasion that am un-
altcrably, iTrevoCably, and heartily Op-
posed TO any change in the existing
money standard.
The candidate believes that the
country understands his convictions.
but he has made il clear that if a mis-
understanding does arise he will
strengthen in every way possible the
stand he has taken on the money ques-
tiOn.

packers his action would have much
moral weight. 1t was called to mind,
ord "a saying that the strike has pass
ed the point where arbitration might
have been applicable.

The Russian cruisers Askold and No

Port Arthur We pursued them, and it
appears we inflicted considerable dam

We have received no reports from

The Russian vessels, with the eXcep-

opinion, made no comment whatever as
