The Putrid Chicago Chronicle

Before the Hearst victory in Iowa
the Chicago Chronicles opposition
to Mr.. Hearst was vile and vicious,
but since then it has been villain
ously putrid. The Chronicle is
known far and wide as kept"
newspaper, with little excuse for
its existence except to defend bogus
wealth and certain class of we'll
dressed thieves. In Mr.. Hearst's
case it has however an additional
motive for its nalignity. Mr..
Hearst's newspapers are fast driving
troglodyte sheets like the Chronicle
out Of business. The circulation
of Mr.. Hearst's Sunday American al
ready exceeds the combined circula-
ton of all the other Chicago Sunday
newspapers, and the Chronicle has
been one Of the largest losers.
Here in Manchester there are los
copies Of the Sunday American
taken regularly at the post office
news stand, and only 5 copies of the
Chronicle.
People with wholesome minds
and a normal sense Of smell avoid
sun baked fish and copies of the
Chicago Chronicle for very similar
reasons.

Japanese troops swarming across the
narrow neck of the Liao> Tung PENN
sula, the railroad and telegraph COM
munications cut, and the Russian Glib
raltar isolated and left to its own re-
sources-all this the Russians seem to
accept with great stoicism. These
events have been anticipated since the
outbreak of the war, and the 'authori-
ties. in a sense, appear to be relieved
now that the blow has fallen. They
assert that the fortress is impregnable
and amply provisioned to stand siege
for q year, and that 1t can hold out
until the time comes to relieve it.
According to official information the
landing of troops from sixty transports
began simultaneously at Pitsewo and
Cape Terminal on the morning of

ashore Thursday and the disembarka-
ton was proceeding yesterday at the

1owa's Instructions for Hearst.

In William Randolph Hearst we
recognize living exponent of true
democratic faith. We hail him as the
sworn and unconauerable foe of all
predatory trusts, an untiring defend
er of the rights and liberties Of the
people, a true friend Of labor and all
legitimate business and withal a
patriotic American. We commend
his urselfsh work for the people
as a congressman, as an editor and
as private citizen in the courts,
where trust owned republican Off
Gals brazenly ignore the law and
refuse to do their sworn duty, and
we declare him to be our choice as
the democratic nominee for presi-
dent Of the United States and hereby
instruct our delegates to the national
convention to be held in st Louis
July 9th to vote for his nomination
and use all honorable means to Sc
cure his nomination.

The Oregonian from Victoria, b. c.,
says: The sealing schoonels Triumph
and Umbrina, Captain Blackstadt, of
the port, are given up as lost at sea
with all hands, owing to the report
made by Captain Ham, of the sealing
schooner Jessie, which has just ar
rived from her cruise along the coast
from California to Queen Charlotte
islands. He picked up south Of the
Columbia river broken sealing boats
darit aud other tackle belonging to the
schooner Umblins, with which he was
in company the middle of March, aft
er which the Umbrina headed for the
land her mate, who was very Ill. Since
then she has not been heard of and
is long overdue.

The Umbrinn was owned by Cap
tain Peppct, now in eastern Canada.
She carried IL half white, half Indian
crew, twenty-tllrce all told, and was
one of the largest Of the fleet in
Queen Charlotte sound. Captain Ham
found Il sUho0ners boom with sail at

him he believes it belonged to the

amongst the fleet now bound for the

All Hope of LIfe Abandoned.
Shamokin, Pa, May 8. = Rescuing
parties are still Mt work in the Locust
Gap colliery, where five men are en-
tombed as result of the fire in one
of the slopes. The miners have been
in the mine since Thursday night, and
all hope of finding them alive has been
abandoned. The fire is burning as
fiercely as ever, making it impossible
to penetrate the workings. James
q. Roderick, chief Of the state bu-
reau of mines, was here comforting
with officials of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron company. He
expressed himself as being satisfied
that everything possible is being done
to eXtinguish the fire and determine
the fate Of the missing men.

The Democratic State Convention.

The real democrats Of Iowa con-
trolled the state convention at Des
Moines last week, and registered
their DEGREES fairly and in accord
ance with truth and right as they
were permitted to see the right.
They controlled the committee on
credentials by vote of 8 to 3, and
the reporters assumed that all the
Hearst delegates would be seated
and sent out dispatches to that effect.
What the committee did do was
quite different from the published
reports. There were contests in.
volving 10 seats, and the committee
heard evidence and arguments for
upwards Of three hours and decided
each cssei liza jndieisf nlanrur, CIV.
ing the anti-Hearst men more than
the evidence warranted. Instead of
all the Hearst men being seated, 30
out Of the 10 contests were decided
in favor of those who were opposed
to Mr.. Hearst. This same judicial
fairness characterized all that was
done by the Hearst forces, and that
is one Of the reasons, probably the
principal reason, why their major
tiles increased in each roll call.
On the first test Of strength the
vote stood 476 to 1884, majority of
only l42. On this roll call the
delegates whose seats were con.
tested did not vote, but had they
voted it would only have increased
the Hearst majority to 152. The
last roll call resulted in the election
Of the Hearst delegates at large by
majorities averaging nearly 300.
The election Of the junior pub.
Usher of this paper as one Of the
delegates at large, and his subse
quent election as chairman Of the
delegation to st. Louis, is compli
ment to the stalwart democrats O
Delaware county who proved theil
true worth during the two or three
days which preceded their las,
county convention.
