CONVENTION IN DEADLOCK.
Illinois Republicans Break All Record

Illinois Republicans Break All Records
in Effort to Nominate.
All past records in the political his
tory of Illinois were broken by the
Republican State convention, which. at
8 o'clock Saturday night. adjourned I'M
til O'Clock Monday afternoon, with the
guhernatorial deadlock still unbroken.
When the last ballot of the day was
taken, the twenty fourth of the whole
series, the candidates stood almost the
same as at the conclusion of Friday S
balloting. The three leading candidates.
Yates, I-owden and Deneen. had lost
slightly and Hamiin had gained. hut
not enough to give the circumstance
much Significance.
Chairman Cannon called the Repub-
fcan State convention to order for a
twenty-hfth ballot on the goyernorsnip
az O'Clock Monday afternoon. The ex-
eItement and nervous tension surpassed
any previous period of the convention.
Roll call for the twenty-fifth ballot be-
gan at 2:0S o'clock. On this ballot Low
den lost one vote in the Fourth Ward
and one vote in the Sixth Ward of Chi
csgo. The tweny-ffth ballot failed to
nominate and the twenty-sixth was or
dered.
Tuesday and Wednesday the con,en-
ton at its various sessions continued TO
ballot without material change in the re-
suit
Following is a summary of forty-one
ballots taken during FIVE days of the
convention:

Defeat of Muscovite Forces in Battle at
Hsiu Yen Is Reported.
report of severe engagement in
the hills around Hsiu Yen has been re
ceived at Shan Hai-Kwan. According to
it the Russians lost 1900 men killed and
wounded, and the japanese occupied the
town of Hsiu Yen. The japanese loss
is not given. 1t is impossible to OBTAIN
confirmation here of the report, but a
battle there is not unlikely, as that place
is in the path of the advance CT the first
japanese army corps. Hal Cheng is the
apparent objective of this corps.
Hsiu Yen is situated in the midst of
rugged hills, where q small force could
resist the enemy with telling effect be-
fore being compelled ultimately to re-
treat.

Niceroy Alexieff refuses to receive any
more foreign war correspondents
1t is admitted that half raillion men

Three thousand bandits are camped

The increasingly threatening attitude
of the Chinese also is a serious factor
in the situation which may contribute to
induce Gen. Kuropatkin to evacuate
Liaoyang.
Liaoyang is expected to be the scene
of the next battle between the Russian
and japanese armies, unless Gen. Kuro-
patkin shall decide to continue his re-

MErHoDlsTs IN CONFERENCE.
Importance of the QuadrenniaI Session
at Los Angeles.

at Los Angeles
1t is characteristic of conferences of
the Methodist Episcopal Church that
the attendants sincerity and strength of
conviction should be reflected in vigor
and earnestness of debate. The regu-
lar quadrennial conference now in ses-
sion at Los Angeles affords no exception
to the rule. Interest in the discussions
this year is heightened by the excep-
tional Importance of some of the prob
lens under consideration. The questions
inv olved relate not only to church ritual
and discipline but TO principles of vital
moment in church policy. The practical
value Of "itineracy," which in the past
has been one OF the distinctive features
of the church, is again up for cousidera-
ton -Four yeats ago the conference
voted to remove the time limit upon Il
pastors incumbency Of any one pulpit,
but it cannot be doubted that many mem
bers of the church are now strongly in
favor Of restoring ii. or equal interest
to the lay members Of the church is the
question of amusements. in which the
champions of the existing regulations
find themselves again opposed to what
appears 10 be a growing sentiment in
favor of larger latitude.
The great body of Methodists through
out the country have been watching anX-
iously to see what action the general
conference win take regarding anuse-
ments The subcommittee Of the com
mittee on state of the church has report
ed back to the main body its recommen-
dation urging a radical change in the
church rule on this subject. making it
simply an advisory restriction instead Of
a mandatory prohibition, as at present.
In addition to these problems the con-
ference must pass upon number Of
questions of practical policy including
the liquor evil and the race problem and
the plan to be adopted for the compile
ton of the American university at
Washington. which is the largest single
educational enterprise the church now
has in hand As $2500,0O0 already has
been collected for this institution and
some of the buildings have been erected.
many Methodists urgently favor the
opening of the university in its present
condition rather than to wait until the
entire S5.000000 has been secured. The
decision upon this question is alone Of
sufficient importance 10 invest the con
ference with esDeciaI interest

General r. e. Lee made his famous
blunder over the location of Grants
army at Spottsylvania, which led the
ConfederateS into an almost impregna-

JAPANEsE HOSPITAL Buildings AT cHEMULPo

of Manchuria. The place, with General
Kuroki advancing on the road to Lao
Yang, was untenable by the Russians,
undergo a siege, and so the place was
abandoned and the military stores sent
northward to Lao Yang With the
exception of Port Arthur, the whole of
the Lao Tong peninsula now remains
in Japanese possession and probably
another week will see ali OF Manchu
ria, south of Mukden, in the grasp of
the NIikado's soldiers.
1t is probable that a Japanese army
will take possession OF New Chwang
and march forward toward Lao Yang
to effect a junction with General
kuroki ~~
The Russian retreat, however
greatly strengthens the position of
General Kuropatkin Formerly his
forces were scattered from New
Chwang, in the west, half way up the
Yalu River, in the east. Ignorance of
the Japanese plan of campaisn and the
uncertainty of where the Japanese
would strike rendered necessary this
disposition Now the japanese plans
of action are fairly well revealed and
General Kuropatkin is concentrating
his forces to meet the enemy's adj
vance. With the exception of the gar
rison at Port Arthur there are now no
Russian soldiers further south in Nan
churia than Lao Yang. What force
General kuropatllin has at his disposal
is carefully concealed. 1t is said by
some that 10000 men, outside the gar
risons, constitute the fighting forces of
Russia in the Far East and from Paris
comes the rumor that it will be July 81
before the last of the reinforcements
which Kuropatkin needs for offensive
operations shall have been dispatched
from Europe. BY that time it is assert
cd he will have 100000 under him.
Much interest centers in Port Ar
thur, which the Japanese will soon for
mally besiege. Before they can strike
The place it will be necessary to force
the strong earthworks defending the
narrow neck of land forming the en-
trance to Kwan Tung promontory.
These works, owing to the shallowness
of the water. cannot be attacked from
sea, while the railroad, which tray
erses the promontory. will enable the
Russians to move troops rapidly to any
desired point Just how the fortress
is prepared to stand siege the world
in general knows little 1t has been
said that it is proyisloned for a year
and that $4,000 men defend it. 1t has
been said. too, that the place is actual
ly short of provisions, and that the
number of men defending lit is only
7.OO0-some say 1000 1t doesn't seem
natural that with three months time,
since the outbreak of hostilities. to
provision it. the Russians would have
been lax in this particular and it may
be assumed that the garrison is sufi-
GENTLY strong to make a stubborn de-
Tense.
Meantime the rumor OF sending the
Baltic fleet to the Far East is again
revived. 1t is said in ST Petersburg
that the fleet. consisting of eleven iron
clads and seventeen cruisers, will leave
Cronstadt in July and will round At
RIGA in its voyage. If this report is
true. the Russians are evidently san
guine that Port Arthur and Vladivos-
tok will be standing by that time.
