JUDICIAL NOMINATION FIGHT.
Believe Contest viii Be Between Zane
and Straup.

\ belief that the fight for nominal
ton 10 the supreme bench in the Re
publican convention viii narrow down
TO a struggle between Straup and zane
is becoming general in Salt Lake polit-
ical circles, The four active candidates,
Messrs. Zane. Straup. FTick and Agee.
are acknowledged TO be men Of fine
legal ability and all have their strong
supporters in the party. Judge Agee,
however, is likely TO meet with oppO-
sittOn in his home county Of Weber
where ne has been an aggressive force
against certain elements that do not
meet with the approval Of himself or
OF many other members Of the party
there
Judge Frick Is a man much admired
and respected by the bar OF the state
His weakness viii probably lie in the
fact that he has lived in the state but
2 short time compared TO the length Of
residence or the other candidates. and
Is therefore less known than his rivals
Judge Zane is an old resident and
served on the supreme bench in the
past He has many strong friends. The
chief point urged against him is his
age. Il is contended that a man who
has passed his seventy-third year IS
perhaps too old TO assume the burdens
imposed upon q. justice of the supreme
court Mr. Straup is a young man of
acknowledged ability He has been a
faithful member OF his party without
becoming prominently identified with
any of the contending factions. and
wIlI command a strong following out
side the ranks of his profession as well
as within il. The friends Of the four
candidates are daily becoming more
active and the contest for the judicial
nomination promises to be not the least
interesting feature Of the coming con-
vention.

Roseate Account of Condition at Port
Arthur.

St Petersburg. Aug. 17.-(3 a. M
A dispatch received from ChefoO to-
night, dated Aug. is. and giving I'M
dated advices from Port Arthur. says
that the japanese during a lombard
ment occupied strongly fortified posi-
lions with a number of siege guns.
After two hours several OF the Japan
csc guns were silenced.
The japanese, the aGviCes say. are no
longer trying to play their guns in the
higher positions. which are too easily
reached by the fire of the fortress, but
are busying themselves with mining
operations against the defenses
The spirit Of the garrison continues
to be excellent and Lieutenant General
StOcssel is going everywhere enCOur-
aging the troops. The fortress is well
supplied with ammunition and provis-
ions.
The feet still in the harbOr is capa-
bic Of effective work in hindering the
operations of Vice Admiral TogO's fleet.
There is no sickness in the fortress
and the losses in the successive fights
are by no means so heavy as repre-
scented in the japanese reports.
