QUIET SUNDAY FOR PARKER.
Democratic Presidential Candidate
Visits Mr., Sheehan.

Esopus, N. Y, July 1S.-Judge Par
ker's second Sunday since his nomina-
ton was spent quietly. He had con-
ferences with John w. Kern of In
dianapolis, who is his guest, and
William F. Sheehan and Maurice Min
ton of New York, who attended the st.
Louis convention and is said to have
come to Rosemount on a political mis-
sion.
Mr.. Sheehan visited Rosemount in
the afternoon for half an hour and
later Judge Parker visited Mr.. Shee-
hans home.
The question of who is to be chair
man of the national committee was
not considered Sunday. That ques-
ton will be discussed at the confer
ence of leaders which is to take place
in New York today. Mr.. Sheehan and
Mr.. Kern will go to New York, but
Judge Parker will not attend the con
ference.
Judge Parker attended church serv-
ice at Kingston in the morning, going
to the Mission church of the Holy
Cross, of which his son-in-law, Rev.
Mr.. Hall, is rector. He was accom-
panied by Mrs. Parker.
1t is said here on what appears to
be good authority that Judge Parker
has not invited 'Tammany Leader
Charles F. Murphy to come to Rose
mount.

Stopping Of Ships Of Neutral Nations

causing the ~liveliest interest in all
circles. Russia has evidently weighed
the question. believes herself to be
within her rights and neither fears nor
anticipates international complica-
tons. Indeed, some of the powers
may have been sounded by Russia on
the subject. Nevertheless foreign
opinion is awaited eagerly and more
or less criticism is expected.
Members of the diplomatic corps
are keenly anxious to ascertain the
views their governments will take Of
the passage through the Dardanelles
Of these vessels of the volunteer feet
as merchantmen and their subsequent
conversion into ships of war. The
general view in diplomatic circles,
even where sentiment is not particu-
larly friendly to Russia, is that while
the passage Of the D~ardanelles might
be considered a piece of sharp prac-
tice on the part of Russia, it is an &C.
complished fact and the powers will
not now regard it as a violation of the
treaty Of Paris, hut will guard against
its repetition. The diplomats think
that same of the powers might insist
that henceforth all volunteer vessels
shall he considered as warships with
in the meaning OF the treaty.
One of the most interesting ques-
lions in this connection, the diplomats
believe. will arise out of Russia's
declaration that coal is contraband of

laps Would Rule the Province With
Chinese Troops.

Tientsin. July 1S.-The Chinese
minister at Toxic has telegraphed the
Wal Wp Pou, the Chinese minister of
foreign affairs, that the Japanese gov
eminent has presented a scheme for
the administration OF Manchuria, the
principal clause of which is that the
Japanese will govern the province
with the number of Chinese troops
now in the country.
Information has been received here
that unless China suppresses the re-
bellion in the province Of Kwangsi,
the French government has threaten
ed to land troops and put it down.
The Chinese government is much per-
turbed in consequence.
A feeling prevails in Tientsin that
the Japanese have suffered a terrible
reverse at Port Arthur. If they have
not, it is thought that the Japanese
government would have contradicted
the reported disaster days ago.
It is persistenty rumored at Antung
that Vice Admiral Togo of the jap
anese navy is dead.

STABBED DURING A QUARREL
st. Paul Boy Probably Fatally Injured

St. Paul, July 18.-With a knife
stab two inches deep in his abdomen,
Samuel Silver, ten-year-old son of
Barney Silver, 211 Norris street, is at
Bethesda hospital in a critical condi-
ton. The wound was inflicted by
Frank Matour, seven-year-old son of
Peter Matour, a barber residing in the
rear of 213 Norris street, and as the
boys intestines were pierced by the
knife blade, his recovery is doubtful.
The boys had a disagreement Sun
day afternoon at / o'clock, and the
stabbing was the result. The Matour
boy and his father claim that Frank
struck the blow in ~self-defense, while
Silver says. his o informed him that
the stabbing was unprovoked.

Believed That the Strike Will Ee Won
or Lost in a Short Time.
st. Paul, July 18.-Monday the strike
Of the South st. Paul butchers will be
won or lost.
Such is the opinion Of Superintend-
ent Burns of the Swift company and
of George Willis, president Of the
Butchers ,,nion, it being thoroughly
agreed by both sides that Swift & Co.
will endeavor to take q large number
of men through the picket lines.
The strikers will try by every means
short of actual violence to prevent the
entrance of the nonunion men, and a
lively time is anticipated.
The holding Of Attorney General
DonahOwer that the governor pos
sesses the right to call out the militia
any time that he sees At adds a fea-
ture to the situation that will doubt
less result in a forcible demand for
the troops If the effort to take the non
union men through the picket lines to-
day fails. That the applj alton will be
made under such conditions there is
no doubt, and it is considered likely
by even the strikers that Sheriff
Grism will, under the pressure that
has been brought to bear, consent to
have the troops brought to the scene,
as such a course will relieve him from
further responsibility.
Sunday a few men broke through
the picket lines, and on Saturday, after
considerable hustling, about twelve
rlen broke through the picket lines.
