SEALING OF FORT AR7'HUR.
London Inclined to Believe That Har-
 Dor is Corkei.

London. May 6.--Viceroy Alexieff's departure from Port Arthur is inter- preted here to mean that the place is in imminent danger of isolation. and the Japanese preparations for landing are considered as confirming the belief that Port Arthur has been sealed up, probably by two of the sunken ships which Russia failed to locate. In this connection attention is drawn to- the discrepancy between the Russian and Japanese accounts of the attempt to bottle up the port, the former stating that it occurred about 3 o'clock in the morning, while the latter said 1t took place in the afternoon. It is suggested that there may have been two separate attempts, each time with ten ships. It previously asserted that Japan prepar- ed twenty vessels for this purpose, and if this explanation is correct the Rus sian accounts referring only to the early morning affair may be justified in asserting that it was unsuccessful. It is supposed that the Japanese will make a supreme effort to cut off Port Arthur before the arrival of Vice-Ad miral Skrydloff.
 According to the Daily Telegraph's Tokio correspondent to-day, Jiji Shim- DO says: Our fleet has not returned to it's rendezvous and is still engaged in the execution of a pre-arranged pro- gramme. There is reason to believe that the Japanese intend landing their second army at New Chwang upon the successful bottling up of Port Arthur.
 The Daily Mails Paris correspondent hears that Russia has cancelled its contracts for supply of coal en rouis to the Far East, which were made with view to the dispatch of the Baltic fleet.
 The Berlin correspondent of the Daily Mail asserts that the. Russian military authorities are in g state of the most extreme anxiety regarding the chanees of saving the baggage of the hdiu army. The roads are so bad that tie wheeled transport is only able to move five miles daily and it $ feared ttlat the Japanese will capture all the stores accumulated at Feng- w ang- -Chong.

SOCIALISTS NOMINATE DEBS
NOTORIOUS CHICAGO STRIKE
 LEADER FOR PRESIDENCY.
Benjamin Hanford of New York Named for Vice President-Policies of Roth Big Parties Condemned--American People Appealed to for Support.

Chicago, May 5.-The national so- cialise convention to-day nominated
 Eugene V. Debs for president for the
 United States and Benjamin Hanford
 of New York for vice president. Neither candidate had any opposition.
 Alter conforming the policies of the
 democratic and republican parties, the
 platform as adopted, appeals to the
 American people for support on the
 ground that the socialist party is the |only political organization standing for
 the principles by which the liberty of
 the individual may become a fact; as
 the only political organization that is
 democratic and that has for it's purpose
 the conversion of all society to the principles of true democracy. Capital ism and private ownership of the means of employment, 1t is declared, grounds society in an economic slavery which lrenders intellectual and political tyran- Iny inevitable. The fidelity of the
 American socialist party is pledged, in the platform, to the principles of inter- national socialism as embodied in the united thought and action of socialists Iof all nations. This question of in- serting plan in tn eplatform favoring labor unions, which caused several Iheated discussions was adopted by a Ivote os 107 to 53.
 The convention will meet tomorrow morning to listen to reports on state land municipal programmes.

 Dr. George Elliott, of Detroit, pre- sented a memorial to the effect that the committee on 1piscopacy consider the adyisability of the election of colored bishop. He said that he believed that the Methodist church had reached a crisis iil it's relations with the colored race.
 If we are to hold the 30O000 member ship we now have, he said i've ought to give them some sort of leadership which they understand and trust, and which understands them
 Charles r. MeClelland, of New York, lay delegate, spoke in opposition to Dr. ElliottS resolution. MT. McClellanu said he was sorry that this resolution was offered at this time, that if the church had reached a crisis in its rela- tions with the colored people it was brought about by just such resolutions as this. He believed the race question had been brought before the confer- ences entirely too much. and he hoped the conference would put an end to this agitation. He was willing, he said, to see any man elevated to Episcopal hon. ors, regardless of color, when that man should attain to such work and distinc- tion as would warrant this high recog- nition
 A resolution was offered by Rev. Hor- ace Jacobs, of the Central Pennsylvania conference, to request the publishers of the Daily Christian Advocate, the offi- cial organ of the conference, to with draw from it's advertising columns all reference to Sunday newspapers.
