and Nodzu attacked with eight divis-
ions. So with kurOki threatening the
left flank. with three divisions and three
battalions, a strong feeling Of pessimism
has set IN and there are fears of a
greater disaster in store.
One military critic echoes the con-
stantly escaping opinion that General
kuropatkin's task must indeed be one OF
terrible difficulty, trying to keep up the
courage OF the army in the face Of dis
appointment and continual retreat.
The seriousness Of the situation is
added 10 by the fact that General ku-
rOpatkin stated that similar retreatiug
tactics must continue for at least
month or six weeks more.

QUELL
MAD DELEGATES

LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. 5.-Splitting
on the vote for temporary chairman, the
Fifth appellate district Democratic
convention, which met here to nomi-
nate a candidate for judge Of the court
OF appeals. broke up in a fight.
More than nifty delegates were dubbed
by the police, who were called In by
the chairman TO quell the disturbance.
Willard Mitchell, of Jessamine county,
was elected temporary chairman by the
forces Of Judge James Z. Cantrill, and
Immediately the opposition forces of
Judge Saufiey and Judge Carroll mount
ed the platform and began hitting the
chairman and Judge Lee over the head
with chairs.
Fifty police and more than 100 OF the
Cantrill delegates rushed 10 the plat
form and the fight became general. Al
most every delegate was carried out
with bleeding head or face.
The women who occupied seats on the
stage were trampled under foot by the
mad delegates, and several in the crowd
tainted and had to be carried out by
the police. The convention adjourned
amid the utmost confusion.

ROOTS CRITICISM
AMUSES DAVIS

PARKERSBURG. w Va, Aug. O.
Henry @. Davis is not perturbed by the
fact that Elihu Root, in his speech
notifying Senator Fairbanks OF his nOmi-
nation, attacked Mr.. Davis on the mat
ter OF his age, saying that man of
eiShty-fve years would be unsafe and
unequal 10 the duties Of his position
Mr.. Davis is considerably amused at
what Root had 10 say, but refuses 10
make reply.
This said he. ''is a matter concern
ing which l have nothing 10 say. II is
not for me 10 defend my age. but IL any
explanation of my mental and physical
condition is necessary there are others
who know me well and they can say
what they choose"
The fact is that Senator Davis, al
would not be thought to be over sixty.
He is sturdy, vigorous and erect, firm Of
muscle and sound Of mind.
In the last few days, during the State
convention now in session, Senator Davis
has been one of the most active persons
present From early morning to late at
night he has been in conference with
the party leaders over the platform, the
candidates. and other matters, and he
has withstoOd the trying labors much
better than many of the younger men
present.
II was only a few months ago that he
took a 200-mile horseback ride over the
West Virginia mountains where no rail-
roads ever penetrated. and he returned
as fresh as q daisy.
Those who know him do not consider
his age as any bar to his candidacy
The hard labors of his youth anu his
regular habits through life have given
him a constitution Of iron and mind
strong as his body.

Republicans Of the First district. The
nomination was made by reclamation,
amid applause and cheers.
The convention in many respects pre-
scented new features 10 the visitors who
are usually in the habit OF attending
political gatherings at Ocean City. There
was not single negro delegate in The
hail. and the representation OF the con-
ventiOn probably was the best that ever
assembled IN the district.
II has not been the custom heretofore
10 link religion with politics, but a pre-
cedent was established by having the
convention opened with prayer. Another
feature was the presence OF Collector
William F. Stone, who is now consider
ed the State leader.

ucally unanimous call, made an address
In which he said: Thank God har-
mony unity. and peace reign through

districts Of Baltimore city would renom-
mate. respectively, Frank c. Wachter
