TICKET OF REPUBLICANS
That VIII BE Put Forth in West
Virginia.


Wheeling, w Va, July 13-The
State Republican Convention complet-
ed it's work tonight after a con-
tinuous session of more than eleven
hours. The salient feature of the plat
form, which was the last matter taken
up, is its declaration for a reform in
the system of state taxation.
The following candidates were nomi-
mated to-day; Auditor. Arnold c.
Scherr of Mineral; Treasurer, Newton
Ogdin, of Peasants; Attorney General
Clark w. May, of Lincoln; state Sup
Miller of Marion; Secretary of State,
Charles w. Swisher, of Marion; judges
of Supreme Court, Frank Cox, Of
Monongahela; Joseph NJ. Saunders. Of
Mercer; presidential electors at large
DR.. w. w. Monroe. of Wood, and
James A. Lenhart, of Preston.
Geography has always heretofore
played a part in the selection of cam
didates. but the convention ignored
precedent in the case of Swisher. and
was stampeded for him Immediately
after his neighbor in the city of Fair
mont had been selected for state super
intendent of schools. Swisher follow
ers had made an attempt to defeat
Miller and almost succeeded. The sue
cess of Swisher came to them as the
surprise of the convention, especially
when the opposition had secured Hon.
c. b. Hart and Hon. w. H. Hubbard,
two of the most gifted orators in the
convention. to make speeches for an
other candidate.

ST. PETERSBURG WAS IN
FEVER OF EXCITEMENT.

st. Petersburg. July 1S, 5:35 p. m.-
This city was thrown into a fever of
excitement this afternoon by the news
that the Japanese had failed in an as
sault on the fortress of Port Arthur
on Sunday night having been repulsed
with a loss said to reach 10000.
The original report reached st. Pc
tersburg last night in the form of a
newspaper dispatch from Mukden and
was received with incredulity but
about noon when Viceroy Alexieff Off
cially telegraphed the news to the gem
eral staff it created a tremendous i'm
preston. 1t was Immediately trans
mitted to the Official Messenger, and
a few minutes afterwards the news
boys were racing through the streets,
electrifying the crowds with the It'd
ings. The boys were fairly mobbed
by people eager to buy the extras.
The members of the general staff do
not offer explanations of what Admiral
Alexieff means by Japanese sources, p"
but they declare that the viceroy would
not have officially reported such inn
portant news unless it had reached
him from sources entirely worthy of
credence. At the same time they say
the report should be accepted with re-
serve, pending the receipt of more
definite advices.
In support of the report, however
they point out that the date comedies
with the second attempt of Admiral
Togo's torpedo boat destroyers to
creep into the harbor.
