 ANTI-DAvIs DELEGATES SEATED.
 MT. Frauenthal moved to refer the Independence county contest to the convention, as neither of the contesting delegations ap- peared to be regular. Senator Short and w. B. Alexander fa- vored making an investigation, in order that the committee could submit a recommendation to the state convention, and their views prevailed.
 Hon. J. c. Yancey led off in a presentation of one side and Hon. w. s. Wright followed with statement of the other side. Neither faction held a conven- tion on April 2, the uniform day, both acting on May 4. The com- mittee took up the case at 5 p. m. and Wrestled with it until after meal time.
 Tonight the committee, which resumed it's sitting at 9 o'clock, recommended the seating of the Independence county delegation headed by Col. J. c. Young and Hon. Ernest Neill. It is anti Davis. The committee also took up the Jackson county contest.
 HEARST MEN ACTIVE.
 A conference of Hearst sup porters was held tonight and was we'll attended. More than one hundred delegates favor Hearst and they will make an effort to secure the instructions.
 The presidential question, how ever, is overshadowed by inter- est in the control of the conven- tion, and the result of efforts to eliminate Senator Berry. The senator's friends are rallying to his support and say they will con- test every inch of the ground.

CREDIT TO ANY STATE.

''The History of Lawrence, Jackson, Independence and Stone Counties, Arkansas" would be a credit to this or any other state in the union.
 It relates much that is of gen. eral interest. To quote the New York Outlook "the authors style is straightforward, simple, direct and genuine" E. H. Clement of the Boston Transcript says: Miss s. w. Stockard has written the history of her country and shows in that work which 1 have examined much capacity for re- search as well as energy and in- dustry, together with an excel lent, clear and straightford lit erary style in the expression of broad and intelligent views ''
 Many of the people of Arkan- sas have shown by their actions that they know how to appre- ciate this work. Miss Stockard, who has been busy since the first of March on her history, expects to spend several days of rest and recuperation at the beautiful country home of Col. James Rutherford in the White river hills.

RED RIVER OVER-
 FLOWS FERTILE BOTTOM.
Thousands of Acres of Growing Crops Under Water. Worst Flood in Twelve Years
 Now Prevailing.

Fulton, June 13. - The river bottoms hereabout are overfowed and the Red river stands 31 1-2 feet on the government gauge at Fulton.
 Thousands of acres of corn and cotton between LeWisville and Garland City are totally de- stroyed. The large plantations of William Temple, George Ros- enberg, A. L. B. Fishers, J. J. Battle, J. B. Shultz and Cox Bros., with many other smaller ones near Fulton, are now a per feet sea of water.
 The damage is greater than any experienced since 1892. Buildings and fences are washed away, with hundreds of horses, cattle and mules drowned.
 There has been no Joss of life as yet, but all the farmers and tenants on the river front are left destitute and homeless and must depend on public charity for assistance until the waters go down.

SENATOR CLARKE
 DOMINATES CONVENTION.
Clarke, Crockett, Davis and Smead Prospective Delegates
 at Large Independence
 and Jackson Contests.

States Senator James r. Clarke will be the potential figure in the Democratic state convention, which opens at noon tomorrow. His advice will prevail in the transaction of the conventions -1qsiness and he will head the Arkansas delegation to the Dem- ocratic national convention. His fellow-members of the big four will likely be Gov. Jeff Davis, Hon. John w. Crockett and Hon. Hamp. P. Smead, of Camden. MT. Smead is one of Senator Clarke's political friends and allies and his name will go be- fore the convention for delegate at-large in opposition to that of Senator Berry, should the latter permit the use of his name.
 It is now claimed that the con- vention will elect Chairman Car . roll Armstrong and Secretary Gray Carroll of the state central committee, contrary to the plans and wishes of Gov. Davis, whose choices were Hon. o. B. Gordon and John H. Page. Senator Clarke's espousal of the cause of Chairman Armstrong, together with the Chairman's personal strength, make it clear, 1t is claimed, that there will be no ,.new man at the head of the state >..1trHttee. The. same observa- tion applies to Secretary Carroll.
 Hon. Geo. R. Bedding, mayor of Hot Springs, will be tempor- chairman and Hon. c. C.
 oAof Prescott, will be given
 Sanent chairmanship of
 on>antion. Judge Hugh Corry, of Texarkana, will be sec retary.
 Hon. William H. Martin, of Hot Springs, will succeed Sena- tor Clarke as the Arkansas mem- Der of the Democratic national committee, the senator not seek ing that honor again. MT. Mar tin is also a candidate for nation al delegate from the Sixth con- gressional district.
 Hon. Harry L. Ponder, of Walnut Ridge and Hon Tilman B. Parks, of Lewisville, are the probable nominees of the con- vention for presidential electors for the state at large.
 WALSH WORKING FOR HEARST.
 Hon. Chas. A. Walsh, secre- tary of the Democratic national committee, who arrived here yesterday, is accredited with be- l1g the ambassador of the Hearst interests. He has met and talked with many of the delegates. The atmosphere, however, seems sur charged with Parker sentiment. MT. Walsh found this out early after his arrival.
 It will be Parker" said one man to Walsh, in reply to an in- quiry.
 'I don't see how that can be-" answered MT. Walsh, in view of Gov. Davis antitrust atti- tude."
 MT. Walsh has not been at all aggressive in his efforts for Hearst, but he has quietly dis
  cussed the subject with large number of delegates and other Democrats.
 The Parker talk is heard on all sides, and while many cling to the notion that the national delegation will be uninstructed, it is believed that if there should | be an expression of choice Par ker will be.the beneficiary.
 Ex-Gov. Lon V. Stephens of . Missouri is another distinguished | visitor, but it is stated that he is here SoIalv aS a health-Sanker

Decisive Naval Engagement Re-
ported to Have Occurred
OF vIadivostock.
DO NOT FEAR THE RESULT
Japanese Confident That Their
Fleet Will Find No DIfficuity
In Blowing Up Ships Of
the Enemy.

Toxic. March s, Tuesday.--tDelayed
In transmission )--It Is believed here
that there has already been a decisive
naval engagement in the vicinity Of
viadiyostock and details Of II are anx-
iously awaited. The japanese feet did
not, It IL said. go to yladiyostock for
the purpose Of bombarding the town,
but 10 locate and attack the armored
cruisers Gromoboi, Rossla, Rurik and
the cruiser Bogatyr, the Russian fleet
stationed there.
II is understood here that when the
Japanese feet arrived there on Sunday
last II found the, Russian squadron
absent. n this Is true II gave the Jap
anese squadron the advantage In the
way Of avoiding battle close TO the In
shore batteries, AZ the same time put
ting II In position TO prevent the Rus
sian ships re-entering the harbor. II
is doubted that the Japanese withdrew
their entire squadron unless the loca-
hon OF the enemy had been discovered.
MS II meant surrendering the advant-
age OF being In position between the
enemy and the enemy's base. There
is strong possibility that the jap
anese found the Russian ships in the
vicinity Of Possiet bay and gave them
battle there.
The names and numbers Of ships in
the Japanese squadron have been kept
secret. but It was probably sufficiently
strong TO divide into two divisions. the
one to guard vladivostock and the 9TH
er to cruise In search OF the Russian
ships. It IL said that the newly pur-
chased cruisers Nisshin and Kasauga
are taking part in the present move
ment of vladlvostock. The navy de-
partment expects 20 receive dispatches
tomorrow from Gensan, where II was
planned that the feet would call after
the operation involving an attack upon
the Russian squadron had been con-
eluded The Japanese are quite con-
fident in the ability of their squadron
10 signally defeat the Russian ships,
and laughIngly say that the big Rus
sian cruisers which stand unusually
high out Of the water make excellent
targets.

bers OF the commission. will leave this
afternoon to attend the meeting.
1t is expected that recommendations
to the next state legislature viii be
made that will cover the entire ques-
tion Of irrigation. The laws Of this
state, it has been found by experts Of
the interior department, do not grant
TO the interior department the neces-
sary authority TO convert the waters Of
rivers and lakes to general irrigation
work. Major Newell. who is at the
head of the governments arid land
schemes. asked that Washington amend
its statutes and it is expected that tn;

Everett, March s.--The worst block
ade on the Great Northern road in the
Cascades ehis winter has been on since
Saturday afternoon, and none OF the
overlands were expected in until late
this evening. Snow slides between
Madison and the Cascade tunnel are
the cause Of the trouble.
The slides came some time Saturday,
IN time to catch the Saturday morning
overland, which, being behind schedule,
did not reach Leavenworth until late In
the afternoon. Since that time until
this evening not sigle through train

trains were blockaded. The two east
bound consolidated and one Of them

New York, March "a new voting
machine used in the municipal elections
at Washington, N. r., has gone wrong
and another election will be necessary.
When the election board opened the
machine they found amazing results
from the days balloting. A candidate
fer councilman on the independent
ticket registered $40 votes, his partner
registered $40, while their opponents,
Gulick and Groff tailed $40 and 800 re-
spectively. Members Of the independ-

that one of their opponents caused the
mix in attempting. when the polls OPEN
