The Hearst delegates-1S in number,
representing six primary districts-bolt-
ed the democratic convention which met
this afternoon to choose delegates TO the
democratic national convention for the
District of Columbia. The ant-Hearst
faction completely dominated the con-
vention and proceeded, as soon as the
meeting was called to order, TO elect a
temporary organization, choosing Col.
Edward Hay as chairman. The Hearst
men strenuCusly opposed this, holding
that the temporary organization of the
convention should be managed by the
commission appointed by the subcom-
mittee of the democratic national COM
mittee. This would have left the matter
OF deciding local contests in the hands
OF the commission. When they saw

THURSDAY EVENING. MAY 49, 1904.

A RUSSIAN dispatch, General Kuro-
ns,kin,s states that the Japanese adj
vonced very cautiously upon Feng'
Wang. Cheng. At the same time an
English dispatch says the CELEBRITY OF the
recent Japanese movements was remark
ahle Between the two there is no dis
crepancy. Taken together, they lucldly
GOT forth the whole manner OF the Jap
anese campaign and go far toward ex-
planning the success it has thus far al
tanned. The japanese have been par
ticularly cautious in their advance, until
thew have made all preparations ana
nIlv assured themselves of the ground
before them. Then they have moved
and struck with startling swiftness. An
other observer at the front says the Rus
SLAMS are being defeated because OF their
perfunctory, old fashioned methods
That may be. 1t was said at the De
ginning of the war that the Russians
would probably not be found so up'to-
date as the Japanese. But that fact Is
q moor basis on which to estimate the
whole course and ending of the war
PRECISELY the same was said, and was
largely true, of the British at the De
ginning of the Boer war. But ID the
end Roberts and Kitchener "got there
oil the same" The Russians may or
may not "get there" but their dong 50
will not be determined by any sucn
detail as that at this stage OF the con-
Aict The resourceiulness of Russia Is
well illustrated fIom the fact that this
week that country called out 200 ooo
reserves in the Moscow and kharkon
nroyinces. who will 60 at once to the
front. Four army corps will be mooil-
lied in July and August.
