Richards, commissioner of the general.
land office at Washington. left this morn
ing for the east, after arranging all the
detail for the great Rosebud drawing,
which begins at Chamberlain on July rs.
Intense interest has for some time been
manifested In the details of the drawing,
which heretofore have not been available,
even In land office circles. 1t has been
determined that 1000 names will be drawn
a day three days, after which the balance
of the names in the box will be drawn
as rapidly as possible, probably completing
the work on the fifth day. At each Of the
places of registration every person who
has their name enrolled signs an identifi-
cation blank, which sets out the name,
address, height. color and general appear
ence of the person registering. These
blanks are Immediately sealed in a small
envelope about two by three inches and
deposited In a safe receptacle. Registra-
ton leases at all points of registration on
July %, when the envelopes prepared at
Yankton, Bonesteel and Fairfax will be for
warGea to Chamberlain. These with the
Chamberlain batch will be placed in a
large box, one sufficiently large to hold
them and leave space in which they may
be shaken up. A number of openings will
be provided, at each OF which will be sta
TONED u OlsInleTeSteu person, pTODdply a
boy, who In regular ratio Will draw an
envelope from his opening. As each en-
velope is drawn from the box clerks will
keep a record Of the name and order of
drawing. This will be continued until 200
names are drawn out Of the box each of
the first three days. This will dispose of
1900 names. or an ample equivalent for
the number Of claims in the Rosebud res
ervation subject to entry. On the fourth
day the drawing Will be continued. but
without restriction, until every name is
drawn from the box. The drawing in eff
feet merely takes all the names enrolled
and places them in numerical order, and
the names so placed in order will be called
at the rate OF 100 per day TO make filings
on the lands at Bonesteel until all the
lands are disposed of, filings beginning
on August s, While the numbers arranged
at the drawing win be as extensive as the
registered, there will be no par
ticular value attached to any number over
1900. os possibly 1900, as by the time
number Is reached the lands will in
all probability be exhausted, unless the
holders of the earlier numbers should fail
in very large proportion to respond to their
names when Gales for fling.

o N. Y, July ~te.-Congress-
man Bourke Cochran, August Belmont
and william r. Rody Of the democratic
state committee, arrived at Rosemont
today. They all said they came on the
invitation of Parker, and did not know
the subject of the conference or how
thew would stay. In reply TO a ques-
tion IL he would take the stump Tor
Parker, Cochran said: rs 1t necessary
to ask that?"
The expected visit of State Senator
p. II. McCarren TO Judge Parker was
also of interest at Rosernont. Among
the many letters received was one from
Richard Olney, concluding:
Believing your candidacy, auspl-
ciously begun by the most striking
proof of fidelity to convictions, will be
identified with the present and future
welfare of the republic, and strongly
wishing and hoping for its complete
success, | am sincerely yours, Richard
Olney."
Henry Watterson, editor of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, sent Judge
Parker a lot of clippings from his pa
per, with a letter in which he con-
graduated the Judge, and concluded:
II shall go into the campaign before
us with greater confidence OF victory
than eve before. not even excepting
1876"
A new sort OF letters were at hand
today, those of p%araats who have
named the newborn children Alton
or Parker" or both. There was one
from Decatur, H., and one from Shell
byville. Ind.
Judge Parker had his swim, as Usual
and q horseback ride; otherwise the
morning was spent in the office.

ST. PETERSBURG CONFIDENT.
Can But Believe That News of Jap De-
feat is True.

lSSS
st. Petersburg, July 16.-The people
of st. Petersburg retired last night IN
a happy frame of mind. The absence
of a dispatch from Lieutenant General
Stoessel. commander of the military
forces at Port Arthur, regarding the
reported loss TO the Japanese last sun
day night is generally attributed to the
delay in communicating official news,
owing to the absence of the emperor.
Private dispatches received in st. Pc
tersburg from Russian sources In he
far east confirm the reports from Muk-
den and Chefoo. According TO a
usually reliable source the Japanese
losses were $500 and the Russian losses
1900.
The city remains In a ferment of ex-
element and the extras are eagerly
bought up in the hope of finding the
long expected dispatch from General
Stoessel.
It was only late tonight that a dis
patch arrived which, had it become
generally known. would hav tended
somewhat to dampen the enthusiasm.
This was a dispatch from Tatchekiao
communicating an undated dispatch
from Port Arthur received there July
13. 1t did not mention the assault or
the repulse, but it is quite possible
that the dispatch was sent from Port
Arthur earlier than July 10, so that 1t
cannot be fairly regarded as contra
dictory evidence.
1t is quite certain up to this date
that there is no disposition in any
quarter in st. Petersburg to question
the truth of the news. There is a gem
'eral conviction that If Viceroy Alexieff
decided to communicate the report to
the general staff it must be true.
The Associated Press learns that the
war office had some hesitation in Civ
ing out the dispatch owing to It's dubi-
tative wording. 1t is contrary to the
custom of the war office to publish
statements made with such reserve as
Viceroy Alexieff thought fit to adopt.
The rejoicing in the Russian capital
is increasing by a foreign dispatch
confirming the Japanese reverse.
The question is generally asked If the
Russians took advantage of the Japan
csc discontinue to follow up the blow
and 4infict a crushing defeat with pos
sihly the capture of the siege guns.
The news that the V~ladivostok cruis-
ers and torpedo boats were out again
flowing. The retreat from Yin Kow
and perhaps from Tatchekiao does not
weigh in the balance.
The transfer OF General Kuropatkin's
staff TO Tatchekiao and the appearance
of great activity there bluffed the Jap
anese into devotlng all their attention
to hat quarter, leaving the more valu-
able line from Lao Yang to eMukden
alone. Even IL there is no battle at
Tatchekiao or Hal Cheng. the Russians
are now looking forward with entire
confidence TO the cesccatratioifyo Cen
eral Kuropatkjn's forces around Lao
Yang. which viii make the successful
termination or the first stage OF his
campaign.

RUSSIA HOPES IT'S TRUE.
ST. Petersburg Points Out Possibility OF
Jap's Port Arthur Losses.

st. Petersburg, July 16.-The general
staff, although it has no further news
of the reported Japanese disaster at
Port Arthur, points u that 1t is sig
nifcant, IL the report is untrue. that
no denial has been issued from Toxic.
An officer just returned from the
front tells the Associated Press that
the terrible losses reported sustained
by the besiegers of Port Arthur were.
not unlikely, in view of the extraor-
binary and almost fanatical determina-
tion OF the Japanese, never hesitating
before the most terrible chances. Some
OF the forts ut Port Arthur are pre-
coded by bitches four and five fathoms
deep, hewn out of the solid rock. Whole
regiments could easily be engulfed in
these chasms.
Rumors emanating from st. Peters,
burg that Port Arthur has fallen arouse
only smiles from Russian officers. 1t
IS not improbable that fighting is now
progressing at TIA Tche Kiao. as Rus
sian advices show that the Japanese
were within a few miles OF that place.
The Russian resistance will probably
be determined by the character OF Gem
eral Kuroki's and General Nodzu's ad-
vances on Hai-Cheng. Al large force
OF Japanese within striking distance of
Haf-Cheng would render 1t impossible
for the Russian commander TO remain
at Ia Tche Kiao, IN which event there
will be a fight at Hai-Cheng. the re-
suit OF which will be much more I'm
portant than the recent engagement at
Kai Chou.
