in good faith would ordinarily be a,
sufficient vindication of an accused
party, but unfortunately in this case
your official proclamation of my as
sumed guilt has such weight, and is
entitled to have such weight, that to
many it practically overrides the YER
dict of the jury. 1 notice that many
of your friends do not hesitate to say
that your verdict given before trial is
more to be relied upon than the ver-
dict of court and jury and given after
trial. Against such injustice / have
no recourse except by appealing to
your sense of right and fair dealing.
"In my letter to you of December 2,
1903, / intimated briefly that your ac-
ton was unjust and wrong, and that
you would not have taken the course
you did if you had not been misled
and deceived by Mr.. BriStoW'S report.
/ charged that this report suppressed
the facts; garbled the evidence; mis-
quoted the records; made untrue state
ments and was in every way calculat-
ed 10 mislead and deceive you, as well
as The public | now reaffirm these
cha gees, and / call your attention to
the fact that it is no longer merely
my statement against Mr.. BristOw's,
but that witness after witness on the
stand for the government in my trial
denied the accusation in his report,
and document after document from
the government files disproved his
charges. / do not mean for a moment
to question the good faith and entire
sincerity of your proclamation: i wish
merely to emphasize the fact that you
have been deceived and that your
laudable zeal for public and official de-
cency has been imposed upon. You
accuse me of 'gros corruption;' the at
Ntorneys for the government constantly
disclaimed any such charge before the
jury. You charge that / was paid by
criminals not to prosecute them Not
a scintiIla of evidence was offered to
sustain a charge; nor was a single
witness nor a single document pro-
duced to show special favors to
'swindling schemes, or a single viola
ton of duty. Every charge in the
Bristow report in any wise rejecting
on me has been disproved by the re-
cent trial-disproved not by virtue of
the verdict but by the sworn evidence
of the governments own witnesses"

THE TRAP STORY DISCREDIIED.
No Information Received by the Rus
sian General Staff.
(By the Associated Press.)


st. Petersburg, June 13.-No infor-
nation reached the general staff to-
night regarding the reported alb
bushing of Russians at Pu Ian Tien
as the result of which they were al
legged to have lost 500 men. The only
thing Of the least significance in this
connection is the short dispatch re-
ceived from Major General Karke-
witch, which was sent on June II. the
day the battle is said to have occurred.
General Karkevitch does not mention
the Pu Ian Tien fight of which the
authorities presume he would have
heard, had it occurred. His dispatch
only covered events up to the preced-
ing day.
General news from the southern
part of the Lao Tung peninsula is OF
scantiest, and in the absence of offl-
cial news the officials here are not IN
clined to speculate as to the sltua-
ton Up to late hour tonight noth-
ing further had been heard from PORT
Arthur.
The reports of continuous sklrmlsn-
ing along the railway south OF va
fandien are taken to show that the
Cossacks are keeping the japanese
busy in protecting their rear. Whlle

ing imminent a more or less severe

HEARST FIGHT ON
Battle for Control of ILL
Lois Democratic Mach
inc Today.
(By the Associated Press. }

Springfield, Ills, June 13.-Follow-
chairman of the Illinois Democratic
Central Committee, provoked by an
attempt by adherentS of William r.
Hearst to secure control of the Gen.
trail Committee when the Illinois Dem
ocratic convention cOnVeneS tomorrow
at noon, may make an attempt to
force Mr. Hearst to forego an instruct
ed delegation to the National conven-
ton. The fight for control of the
State Democratic machinery has
placed the complexion of the State
ticket in the background for the mo-
ment.
Hearst adherents purpose, it is said
to deDose Mr. Hopkins and to place
Willard Dunlap, Hearsts Illinois cam
paign manager, at the head of the
Illinois Democratic machine. At
present friends of Hopkins think that
Hearst in view of the enmity to Hop
kins should be content with an en-
herents of Hearst, however, believe
that they will be able to control the
convention at all stages.
The fight in the open will begin
tomorrow when temporary chair
man is selected. Hopkins partisans
hold that the party constitution gives
the State central committee the right
to select a temporary chairman, while
Hearst men say the convention should
exercise this right Frank j. Quinn,
of Peoria. is Hopkins choice for
temporary chairman. Adherents of
Mayor Carter Fl. Harrison, of Chicago,
are for Congressman Williams, of
Illinois for president This makes
the fight three-cornered.
1t is not known whom Hopkins
wants for president, except that he has
opposed Hearst.
The State Central committee to-
night selected Frank f. Quinn. OF
Peoria, as temporary chairman OF
the convention. If Hopkins adher-
ents control the committee tomorrow
Chicago's appointment will be made
permanent.
The subcommittee to which was
referred the hearing of contests was
in session many hours. The contests
were mostly decided in favor OF the
Hopkins faction. 1t is estimated
that when all the contests are finished
the net proceeds to Hopkins from
contests will amount to $50 delegates.
Hopkins adherents belive that the
$50 they will gain together with what
they now have will insure them con-
troll of the convention.

of armed men, whom the military
authorities declare, are hiding in the
mountains north of Cripple Creek
