Causes Regret for His Nom
ination.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Representa-
tive men who attended the Davis
notification meeting in West Virginia,
say that the democrats may be forced
to make another selection Of a vice
presidential candidate.
Candidate Davis manifested such
evidences Of weakness and failing
powers that the party leaders were
surprised.
The Washington correspondent Of
the New York Evening Post, one Of
the most vigorous of the Parker sup
porters in New York, sent to his paper
an account of the impression obtained
by those who attended the White Sui
sphur Springs meeting. The cor

SENATOR H0AR IS
STILL VERY LOW

Worcester, Mass, Aug. 2O.-Senator
George F. Hoar was still alive early
today. He was given little opiate
last night to insure rest. Shortly
after $3.50 o'clock this morning
lockwood Hoar, the senator's son,
issued the following bulletin:
There is no marked change. The
senator has taken but little nourish-
ment during the night and will
probably take less hereafter. He has
so good constitution that his
strength falls but gradually and the
prospect is that his life will be pro-
longed several days and will end
gently and peacefully"

Rome, Aug. 2Q.-The military at

two Russian warships at Port Arthur
have been sunk.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 20, 1850 pm
The report from Chi-fu that the Rus
slams have driven the Japanese out Of
the position at Pa-lung- chang, whence
they had been bombarding the forts
of Port Arthur, was received with
considerable gratif1cation at the war
office, where it was regarded as evil
dent that the defenders are strong
enough to take the offensive when
the occasion demands. For this rea-
son the war office is not inclined to
credit the reports that the Japanese
have captured forts and 4, just be-
yond Nagousho hill, five miles north
east of Port Arthur. 1t is admitted
that the possession OF these forts
would render the situation of the be-
siegers desperate.

nation going beyond Aug. s, 9 and TO-,

According to private information
coming from Port Arthur by way of

admiral commanding the squadron.
According to the admiralty's informa-
ton the battleship Retvizan was the
most unlucky ship in the harbor be-
fore the sortie of Aug. 10. Out Of 150
shells entering the town seven struck

HELEN GOULD TO AID
IN WAR ON MOSQUITOES
New York Sun Special Service.

New York, Aug. 20.-Miss Helen
Miller Gould has been enlisted in the
war against mosquitoes. This is said
on the authority of Colonel Isaac W..
Brown of Rochester, Ind, who Is
known thruout the west as the Bird
and Bee Man." because he knows so
much about birds, bees and insects.
Colonel Brown has convinced Miss
Gould that to put an end to
mosquitoes, the so-called English
sparrow must be driven out of this
country, because the sparrow has
practically exterminated the blue mar
ten and the swallow, which feed on
mosquitoes.
Extensive operations against
the mosquito pest based on Colonel
Browns suggestions will be begun at
once.

MISER'S FARM TO BE
DUG OYER FOR GOLD
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Aug. 20.-Every foot Of
the farm of the late Francis W. Whee-
Ter, who lived like miser and buried
his money about his farm, near Say
vile, l.. l., is to be dug up by the
FARMS new owners, in search for hid
den treasures.
The property was sold in sections
at public auction today. The bidding
was spirited, because Of the tales Of
buried treasure, and the property
brought good prices.
Wheeler was eccentric. He buried
money in so many different spots that
he forgot where some of it was. When
he needed money he would postpone
payment for a day, that he might go
out in the night and dig up some Of it.
