The Republican district convention

This will be the case no matter

The only contest will be for Deboe's

General Kuropatkln Confirms Capture

General karopatklh Confirms Capture
Of Simouchena.
st Petersburg Aug. 81 General
Kuropatkin reports that the Japanese
have occupied Illhavuen. east Of Lao
yang. and the Yangze pass, thirty
miles east Of Liaoyang.
Ixhavuen called Yushulikzu by the
Japanesel was the advance position Of
the eastern army Second siberian
army corps, commanded by the late
Lieutenant General Count Keller who
was killed by japanese shell July 20
1t is east of Liaoyang. Yangze pass il
also cast Of Liaoyang and was held by
Keller's troops
The progress Of the enveloping move
ment may have forced the Second corps
to retire on Lianaiansian. which is the
next position in the direction Of Lao
yang

the junction OF tie Fengwangeheng-
Singer roads, by General 0ku il con.
tirmed by private adyices General
stakelburg, commanding the southern
army, which had held Simoucheng, has
retired TO TIaleheng
The failure Of the garrison Of Simon
cheng to retreat along the northern
road probably was due to the presence
Of the japanese column banking the
late General Keller's corps from the
south.
In view Of the inability of the Rus
SLAMS to hold Simoucheng 1t ii eonsid-
cred unlikely that Generals Zaroubaieff
and stakelberg will attempt to offer
stubborn resistance at Haicheng. It II
possible that they are already retiring
en- Anshanshan, half way between Hal
cheng and Iiaoyang
There Is reason to believe that two
Of General Oku's divisions are advanc-
ing from Newchwang on Haicheng
with the view Of thanking ana cutting
off General Stakelhergs retreat. but
this movement is not likely to succeed
on account Of StakeIbergs ability To
retire northward on Anshanshan.
An interesting detail, eyidencing the
ferceness. Of the artillery duel south Of
Haicheng, July 81. is the fact that the

and practically complete cessation in
the procession Of visitors gave Judge
Parker an unbroken morning in which
10 work on his speech of acceptance
70 be delivered upon the occasion Of
bis formal notification on Wednesday
Of next week.
The rumor that George Foster Pea
body Of Brooklyn would be treasurer
Of the national committee was the only
important political topic attracting
much attention here. Judge Parker re-
fused to comment in any way upon
the report, but ii is believed to be well
founded, and unless some important
change Ia the situation is made neees-
sary by later developments the selec
ton Of Mr. Peabody as treasurer viii
be announced within twenty-four
hours.
II Is known that during the three
hours conference between Judge Par
ker and Mr.. Peabody last Saturday
practically every important aspect Of
the Democratic situation was discussed.
Important political announcements, in
ending the personnel of International ex-
|ecutive committee, are looked for from
indianapolis, where Chairman Taggart
remains to attend the Indiana Demo-
cratic convention. 1t is said here that
he is in almost constant communication
with Judge Parker. 1t is still believed
here that William f. Sheehan will be
chairman Of the executive committee
and that the finance committee will be
amalgamated Herewith. Mr.. Sheehan
remains in New York city, where, it is
understood he is combining attention
to his legal business with a close CO.
operation in the affairs of the national
committee, including the selection of
new eastern headquarters.
Judge Parker refused to confirm the
report that he has accepted the invita-
ton Of Norman y. Mack, the national
Committeeman from New York state,
to be, with Mrs. Parker, his guest al
tile St Louis exposition on New York
state day, OCT. 4 There is reason, how
ever, to believe that he might make
such trip as this without violating
the principle upon which he has based
his determination not to make any
