UNBREAKING DEADLOCK
The Illinois Convention as Tightly
 Tied as Ever.

Springfield. H., May 1.-Two breaks in the voting in the Illinois republican convention today, one for Frank Low den and one in the interest of Charles s. Deneen, failed to break the deadlock and at 9:25 p. m. the convention took a recess until II a. m. tomorrow without materially changing the vote. The first break came during the morning ses- sion. when the Yates votes in Kane and White counties were thrown to Lowden. After voting for the latter for two ballots. the delegates returned to Yates, declaring that it was useless to remain longer.
 Tonight Judge Sherman threw his en- tire strength to Charles $. Deneen ard his delegates voted with the latter, Deneen gained a few votes. but thel e was no stampede to him and it Is we'll demonstrated that his claims of a heavy country support were not well founded. Shermans men will vote for Deneen tomorrow and give him until l o'clock to develop his full strength. but no one believes that he will swing the nomination.
 The Yates men are standing firm tc- night. The Lowden delegates held a meeting tonight at which they renewed their fidelity to Lowden and decided to stand by him to the end.
 The thirty-eighth ballot was taken shortly before the convention adjourned tonight and resulted as follows: Yates. 4s9; Lowden, 39312; Deneen, 4111k; Ham, lin, 113: Warner, 37; Sherman, 2; Pierce o5

Czar's Progress Through

TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION
Review of Two Army Corps About to Set Out for the Far East-Japanese
 Occupy All the Territory About Port
 Arthur Except the Gun Range.

KhaIkoff, May 17.-EmperOr NiChol S long journey, the purpose of which is to say farewell to the Tenth. and Seven teenth army corps, which belong to the famous black soil region, south of the headwaters of the Nolgd, between the Dnieper and the Don, is serving the double purpose of stimulating the off, cerS and men on the eve of their de- parture for the front and of carrying the patriotism of the people to a high pitch of enthusiasm. If any linger.ng 2 doubts remained as to the popularity of ahe war, they have been dispel!ed by She personal presence of the sovereign.
 The emperor, accompanied only by his military suite, is travelling in a special train of which the only distin- gushing marks, except for the pilos ergine preceding it, are two small inn perial standards on the locomotive. Ev- cry station passed yesterday was pro- fusely decorated with flags and bunting and crowded with cheering people. Rus sians are usually undemonstrative but on these occasions there were or.es Of Long live the emperor" as his mates- ty passed along.
 From the still, dreary and Iifeless capital on the banks of the Neva to this warm, sunny southland whsra spring is in full bloom, whenever the emperor glanced from his car window during the day he looked into the faces of his troops. After darkness fell the men themselves were invisible, but the emperor saw the blazing line of their campfires. He literally passed between double hedgerow of soldiers, and f. was as if he had reviewed an army de- ployed in open order for a thousand miles.
 The presence of the guards along the track caused the news of the sover> eign's coming to be spread far and near and from miles around peasants glth- cred in picturesque groups at cross roads, the colored dresses of the wo- men, mostly red and blue, contrast nG with the long, Sombre nondescript gar- ments of the bearded men. Some of these peasants held their places for twentY-fouF hours in order to each a glimpse of their sovereign's train. In the long stretches between stations were the non-cheering mujiks from out lying districts, who had not learned to give voice to their feelings, but their sentiments were manifested in a rev. erent way, they uncovering and cross ing themselves. Not a solitary mujis working in the fields failed to stand Jareheaded as the train passed

IOWA STAND FATHERS.
TEey Will Leave Tariff Questions to
 National Republican Convention.

Des Moines, Iowa, May 17.-With the stand pat" element Of the republican party firmly in the saddle the only problem which comes before the repuD- lican state convention. which will meet in this city tomorrow, is the nature Of the platform which will be adopie1.
 This has been al subject of anxious discussion among the party leaders as sembled in this city today. 1t is cer- tain the platform will contain a plank strongly endorsing the protection prin- ciple. The attitude on reciprocity is still a debatable question. It now seems probable that the convention will adopt a declaration referring all matters of tariff revision to the national conven- lion at Chicago.
