LONE STAR DEMOCRATS
The Nomination of Ticket Without
 Contest.

Houston, Texas, Aug. 3.-The state democratic convention adjourned to- night after the nomination of the fol- lowing ticket Governor, s. w. T. Lanham; lieutenant governor, George D. Neal; attorney general, D. V. Day. idson; comptroller, John w. Stevens; treasurer, John w. DobbinS; land com- missioner, J. J. Terrell; superintendent of public instruction, k. B. Cousins; railroad commissioner, Allison May field; justice of the supreme court, T.. J. Brown; judge of the court of crim- inal appeals, M. NJ. Brooks. All are in- cumbents save Davidson and Cousins.
 The platform committee was headed by John Fl. Reagan. The plank against nepOtism, which has been a burning issue in Texas, is mild, but the next legislature is called upon to en- act a statute forbidding it. One plank calls for law limiting free transporta- tion to railroad owners. officers and employees. Senator CulbersOn formally accepted the nomination for United States senator.
 Former Governor Hogg's speech lauding President Roosevelt, was the principal topic of the day. It gave an opportunity for former Congressman Ball to answer and his answer did much to elect Frank Andrews chair man of the legislative committee, which furnished the only real contest of the convention.
 Those opposed to saloons did not press the local option issue.

Che Foo, Aug 3-The steamer Wu- chow, which has just arrived from New Chwang, brings further details of the latest Japanese assault on Port Arthur. When nearing Che Foo, the Wuchow picked up a junk carrying seven men, four women and one boy, who left Port Arthur yesterday. They reported that fighting north of the city of Port Arthur occurred at Wolf Hill, and was sanguinary, resulting in the repulse of the Japanese. This hill is d situation near the railroad, and eight trains were kept busy bringing wound ed soldiers into the city. Wounded men from the east forts reached Port Arthur in all kinds of vehicles, many. however. coming afoOt, dragging their shattered limbs.
 The Russians unite in declaring that the fortress will never fall, but they expect that scarcely a building will be left in the city, where now there is scarcely a whole pane of glass.
 The Wuchow confirms the statement that the fighting abated during the night of July 18th, but had not com pletely subsided when the refugees left. The Russian fleet, from it's anchorage. shelled the advancing Japanese, after returning from what seems to have been recOnnOitering maneuvers.
 The Chinese arriving here tonight say that the Japanese actually cap tU; ed two lightly gaTrisoned forts .op the east shore, but abandoned them when their comrades were repu.sed from the other positions. Russians, however, insist that this is untrue. The forts at Port Arthur Dlistle with guns, including many of S-inch calibrc, but the naval artillerymen are alleged to have inflicted the heaviest loss on the Japanese.
 The present unusual exodus from Port Arthur is due to the granting of permission to leave the beseiged city. which heretofore Russian officials have withheld. In most instances the Icfu- gees are people of the better class who are compelled to pay exorbitant prices for iunks, which are scarce.

 ''I accept the commission whi h yo't bring with a profound sense of the dignity and responsibilities of the es' alted position for which l have been nominated. My utmost endeavor wiz be to discharge in full measure th- trust, if the action of the convention shall meet the approval of the Amer ican people.
 The platform adopted by the cons vention is an explicit and emphat', declaration Of the principles in eniir~ harmony with those policies of our party which have brought great honOT and prosperity 10 our common country and which, if continued, will bring us like blessings in the future.
 The monetary and economic polis cies which have been so forcibly re announced lie at the very fOundltiO1 of our industrial life, and are essen tial to the fullest development of OUs national strength. They give vitsiis ty to our manufactures and cOmmeTVS and if impaired or OverthrOwn. thsgz would inevitably ensue a period Of ini dustrial depression. to the serious tn- jury of the vast interests Of both LaesJF and capital.
 The republican party since n p@es served the integrity of the republic sr.t gave freedom to the oppressed, never rendered a more important servic- tn the country than when it established the gold standard. Under it We h2Es increased our currency supply sUE1= ciently to meet the normal requiFE- ments Of business. l. is gratifying that the convention made frank snI explicit declaration Of the inheEibts purpose of the party to maintain th.s gold standard. It is essential not on. ly that the standard should be as god
