OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.
Delegations From The West Urging
Judge Parker to Take the Stump.

Esopus. N. Y. Aug. 1S.-Nearly
every delegation arriving at Rose
mont from the west urges Judge
Parker to go on stumping tour dur
ing the campaign and visit all the
doubtful states. This was the OBJ
ject OF the visit from G. V. Menzies
of Mount Vernon. Ind. and John
Spencer, OF Evansville, Ind. So
much encouragement was received
that they remained over night at
Judge Parker's home to discuss the
subject OF western trip. Judge
Parker determined soon after his
nomination by the ST. Louis conven-
ton that he would conduct his per-
Sonal campaign from Rose1nount but
since the notification ceremonies so
much pressure has been brought to
bear upon him that he has promised
to give the invitations serious con-
S!drration.
The suggestion has been made that
Judge Parker extend his trip to the
st. Louis exposition TO take in num-
Der OF cities in Indiana and other
States that arc regarded as doubtful
by the democratic campaign mana
ger.

luncheon with fudge Parker today
and was another who urged the ne
cc>si;y OF making this a speaking
campaign though he did not consid-
er the question OF the candidate 60
ing on a stumping tour himself. Mr..
Shepard has already placed himself
at the disposal of the national COM
!nittee and will make a great many
speeches. As Mr.. Shepard left Rose
mount he made a statement to the
Associated Press regarding his visit
with Judge Parker. as follows:
Il have had a general talk with
Judge Parker and I am rejoiced to
find him greatly encouraged and full
OF vigor. The democratic party has
genuine leader in the presence OF
whom it is impossible to have doubt
or distrust, who understands and
Syn1pathizeS with the feelings and
ideas Of the average good citizen. who
| has clear perception Of the difficult
ties. but the practical sagacity and
| wisdom with which to overcome
| them.
Regarding the mention Of his
name for the democratic nomination
| for governor of New York, Mr..
Shepard said there are SO many per-
sons in his class now that no one ap-
pears to be immune. "However," he
continued, II did not discuss the gov
ernorship with Judge Parker.'

Mine Superintendent J.R,
Ryan Succumbs to
Pneumonia.

ST. LOUIS, July Joseph Ryan,
national committeeman from Nevada
and head of the Nevada delegation to
the Democratic National Convention,
died to-day at the Jefferson Hotel of
pneumonia.
Ryan and his wife came to ST Louis
direct from their home at Virginia
City, New, Monday. 1t was their in
tention to spend several days viewing
the fair before the opening of the con-
Yention. Ryan, however, contracted a
cold en- route and when he reached St.
Louis was quite i'll. He never left his
rooms at the hotel. His physicians
pronounced his case pneumonia, but a
a serious result was not anticipated.
During the night, however, Ryan
grew much worse and it became evil
dent that he could not recover. Mrs.
Ryan remained by his bedside all
night. With her was Mrs. William E.
Sharon, wife of a member of the Ne
vada delegation.
Joseph R. Ryan was for a number
of years superintendent of the Con.
Virginia and California, Hale & Nor
cross and Ophir mines of Virginia
City. New. and was recently elected
superintendent also of the Mexican
and the Andes. In addition to these re-
sponsibilities he was manager of the
great pumping plant on the Comstock.
Ryan was born in Roxbury, Mass,
L =
mother to California in 1852 to join
his father, the Hon. James Talbot
Ryan, who preceded them hither in
1850. He was educated at Santa Clara
College, where he distinguished him
self by his histrionic ability. For
about thirty-five years he had been
identified with mining interests in Vir-
ginia City; at one time he was assayer
for the bonanza mines and was Presi-
dent Cleveland's first appointee on this
coast as coiner of the Carson Mint.
Ryan left Virginia City with his wife
on June % to attend the Democratic
National Convention, to which he was
a delegate, being also the national
committeeman from Nevada. He was
chairman of the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee for many years, and
when urged by the press of Nevada to
be a candidate for the United States
Senate it was said ITO him more than
any other man in Nevada is due the
fact that the State is Democratic to-
day and that 1t is represented by a
Democratic instead of two Repub-
licans, as has been the case ever since
it was admitted into the Union third
of century ago"
When a mere lad he saved two other
boys from drowning in Humboldt
Bay, one of whom was George A.
Knight. 1t was coincidence that
both Knight and Ryan were national
committeeman of the great parties this
year.
Ryan leaves a wife, daughter, Mrs.
Alfred Collier, and two sisters, Mrs.
Oliver P. Evans and Mrs. Charles A.
Werden. His widow left st. Louis to-
night. bringing his remains to San
Francisco, where the funeral will take
place.

AppeaI From Assessment.

Finn and Treacy filed a petition
yesterday with the Board of Super
visors appealing from the assessment
made by the Board of Works for the
construction of a sewer in South Park.
The ground of appeal is that the cost
of the work has not been equitably
apportioned among the owners liable
therefor.

structing the hull Of Dredge No. 3. The new

operated by the company and will have many
improvements over the others. 1t is the inten -

PACKERS DENY PEACE EFFORT.
Declare That Progress Il Being Made
at Plants.

A dispatch from Chicago last night says:
In statement given out tonight by the
packers the report that negotiations are in
progress to bring about another conference
between the packers and the labor leaders
Is declared to be entirely unfounded. The
packers assert that there Is not the slight
est possibility Of further conference with
the strike leaders.
According to this statement the progress
being made at the plants is satisfactory to
all the packers; more men are being en-
ployed daily: all contracts and current
orders are being made at lower prices than
before the strike commenced. In a table
accompanying the statement 1t is shown
that the total number Of men at work to-
night at all points is more than $4,000, dis
tributed as follows: Armour & Co., 9,115;
Swift & Co.. 8,623; Nelson Morris & Co.,
3,648: National Packing Company, 4IG.:
Libby, Mcneil & Libby. 821; Schwarxschild
& Sulzberger, 1926; Cudahy & Co.. 1,43l
With this number Of men at work the
packers claim to have shipped q total of
S31 car loads Of fresh meats from all points
yesterday.
Beyond seeing that the order prohibiting
the deliveries Of Ice to retailers who have
been hauling their meat from the stock
yards themselves since the teamsters struck
the strikers today did very little.
Up to date the ice supply Of 100 of these
markets has been cut on.
