THE TIGER DEFEATED
New York State Instruct. for Parker

Delegation - Cochran and Other
Leaders Opposed Instructions.

Albany, April 19-[Wellmans special

structs for Judge Parker. by vote OF
301 to 140 adopts the unit rule. rides
over Tammany's somewhat perfume
tory opposition aud plants the Empire
state candidate upon one of the weak
est and most platitudinuous platforms
ever written by mortal man.
Tammany scorned AN of Judge Par
hatred of David B. Hill presented
solid front against Instructions. But
the much -talked-of fierce convention
battle Gid not nraterilize. Excert for
a little satire and the full strength of
its vote. TaqImany was as mild as a
sucking dove. In fact. the Tammany
spokesman tried to make the conven-
ton believe they were better friends Of
Judge Parker than the majority. They
ling unhind about him. To the
ey praised him to the skies.
srady spoke and Bourke Cochran
thundered, but neither attacked the
candidate. They were sweet to Parker,
but sour on HE.
And vT-hen the talk wts over and the
roll was called. only Tanlmany's los
votes and a few scattering from other
counties were counted against instruc
tions. One more than two thirds of all
the votes in the convention were cast
for instructions.
"The delegates elected by this con-
vention are hereby instructed to pre-
sent and to support Alton 3. Parker
as their candidate for president.
And they are further instructed to
act and vote as unit"
Thus Judge Parker is presented to
the democracy of the country as New
York's choice for president His
friends believe this action will resul,
in his nomination. They have advices
from the south and west that state

Yorll's lead Daniel Campau is here
from Michigan, and he says his stats
will fall into line after New York.
Josiah Quincy came over from Boston,
and reports that Massachusetts will
give Olney complimentary vote and
then swing In for Parker.
So the friends of Judge Parker feel
that they have done WELL But it can
not be said that they managed their
launching cleverly nor that their con-
vention was either very enthusiastic
or harmonious. Applause there was
for Parker but it did not last long. 1t
was not ardent. One could easily see
this is a new man in the state as we'll
as national politics, a man taken up on
account of his availability in the pecu-
liar circumstances which exist; not for
his great personality. New York
democrats are for him because they be-
Sieve he can be nominated and hope he
can be elected; not because they know
him or have followed him or have
learned to love him.

Chancellor Of Exeheauer Of Great

como and Expenses Of the Govern
ment and Suggests Plan to Meet De.

London, April 19.-Wddespread in
terest in thu. presentation of the budget
today was evidenced by the crowded
state of the house of commons. Cham
cellor of the Excheauer Austen Cham
berlain, opened his speech by expatiat-
ing on the difficulties OF his position,
the great wave of prosperity which
Great Britain had enjoyed so long hav-
ing apparently spent ats force and CIV
en- place to less prosperous cycle. The
industries OF Great Britain. especially
the cotton industry, were depressed and
foreign competition was keener than
ever. Repeal of the duty on wheat had
without affording the consumer the re-
lief expected. Chamberlain estimated
the expenditures of 1904-05 at $714,-
100000 and the revenue. TN the basis of
existing TAXATION, at $69s.300,000. leav-
ing deficit of $19.100.010 to be made
up. He proposed therefore, to increase
the income tax by 2 cents, place an ad
ditional tax of 4 cents per pound on tea,
duty of 81 cents on tobacco stripped
before imported, and an additional duty
of IL cents on cigars and 25 cents on
foreign cigslrets.
The net gain by tobacco changes Is
estimated at $2,T50,000.

st. Paul. April 19.-The United Stat
es circuit court today denied the motion
of Hartman and Pierce for leave to In
tervene in the settlement Of Northern
Securities Company's affairs.
The grounds upon which the applica-
ton is denied are as follows:
First-The plan Of the directors OF
the Northern Securities Company for
distribution of the stock of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific Is not
violative of the decree in the securi-
ties case.
Second-No one but the United Stat
es can successfully appeal to court
to enjoin execution of that plan on the
ground that 1t Is in violation OF the
Sherman antitrust act and the United
States expresses satisfaction with the
present decree.
Third-The stock of the two railway
companies is not in the custody Of the
court
Fourth-Intervention is not necessary

st. Petersburg. April 19.-No con-
trmation has been received here today
Of the reported arrival OF the big fleet
OF japanese transports on the gulf Of
Chilli. Reports differ widely as to the
destination of the fleet, Kin Chou, sit
mated on the narrowest part Of Lao
Tung peninsula. above Port Arthur;
Kai-Chou, south OF New Chwang and
New Chwang itself being mentioned by
various reports. An attempted landing
at the head OF Lao Tung gulf has been
anticipated for some time, but the lat
ter position the Russians have been in
clined to believe. they have 50
strengthened that the Japanese have
abandoned the Idea OF landing more
I than raiding party to cut the railroad
10 Port Arthur. It is considered pos
aible the Japanese may have decided
the time is opportune to land at Kin
Chou, with the object OF cutting Off
and Investing Port Arthur. The
chances OF effecting a landing in neu-
trail Chinese territory on the coast west
OF Lao Tung peninsula are now re-
"a arded as remote, as the Russians
don't believe the Japanese will dare
10 risk arousing the Chinese, and thus
bring down upon them the condemna-
ton OF the powers, whose good opin-
ION they are striving to obtain. The
fact is the Russians seem greatly at
sea as to the Japanese plans. In the
best informed military quarters the
Associated Press finds considerable
ecepticism in regard to the reported
Japanese landing In Lao Tung gulf
and there Is an inclination to think 1t
has been too widely advertised to prove
more than ruse.
II heavy landing occurs now, ex-
ceptfng in Korea, the Russian authori-
ties are more disposed to believe it
will be near Taku Shan. Japanese
transports are expected daily at the
mouth Of the Yalu river. The reports
that 5000 CoSSackS are In the neigh
borliood Of Gensan are denied. The
Russian cavalry is scouting along the
east coast OF Korea, but not so far
down as Gensan. While there is ai-
most constant skirm1ishing along the
Yalu. Russians do not anticipate inn
portant land fighting for some time,
not believing the Japanese will serl-
ously attempt crossing the river un-
til their advance can be supported by
two corps. which, their advices indicate
