Dolliver Names Fairbanks.

Chicago, June 24.-After the applause
succeeding the nomination Of President
Roosevelt had measurably subsidized
Chairman Cannon announced:
"The clerk will call the roll for the
presentation Of candidates for vice
president"
Mr.. Hundley of Alabama, as before
on the presidential roll call. announced
that his state desired to waive its right
in favor OF the state of Iowa This
meant Senator Dolliver, who was to de-
liver the first nominating speech in ia
vor of Senator Fairbanks Of Indiana.
AS the tall form of Iowa's junior sena-
tor was seen pressing toward the plat
form the cries and shouts broke out
and they were redoubled in violence
when Chairman Cannon led forward
Senator Dolliver and spoke afew words
of introduction.
The first mention of Senator Fair
banks name was the signal for cheers,
which were renewed when he formally
presented the name Of the Indiana SEN
ator.
The nomination was seconded in a
brilliant speechs by Senators Chauncey
Depew of New York and Carter OF
Montana.
Are there other nominations? said

Russian View of Naval Battle.

st. Petersburg, June 26.-Up to to-
three Russian ships at Port Arthur has
not been published here, though the
authorities have allowed to be printed
a statement that the squadron had made
sortie and also the news Of the loss
OF the Japanese torpedo boat destroy
ers. Some of the papers have even
commented with satisfaction on the
prospect of q fight on the open sea,
where the merits of the two fleets
would be fairly tested.
An official explanation Of the oppo-
sition of the japanese report is that the
admiralty is unwilling to unnecessarily
alarm the public by the circulation of
such statements entirely on the auth
ority Of the enemy and in the absence
Of definite advices from the command
er at Port Arthur. 1t is also suggested
as possible that there has been a fight,
and that the Japanese have minimized
their own losses and magnified those of
the Russians, with view of effecting
the new loan which 1t is understood
Japan Is negotiating.
On the other hand, according to a
foreign naval attache, the admiralty
to-day admitted that Rear Admiral
Without (the naval commander at Port
Arthur lost one battleship and two
crluisers. but in the absence OF details
1t is impossible to give out any news.
In high court and army and navy cir
cles, where the report of the Port Ar
thur affair has been freely circulated.
the Japan version is received with con-
siderable reserve.
The officials do not attempt to dis
guise the seriousness and the far-reach-
ing consequences which might result
from the loss of three of the Port Ar
thur warships, but they profess to be
more inclined to believe that the ves-
sells were lost in open fight rather than
as the result of a torpedo attack.
Should this be the case. the Japanese
could not have escaped without ma
terial loss and the Gripping of one or
two of their battleships. enough to as
sur3 command Of the sea to the Baltic
squadron.
There is much speculation tonight
as to whether the Vladivostok squadron
might not have gone out, and perhaps
be on the eve of joining the Port Ar
thur fleet. A telegram from Vladivos-
tok. dated June 25th. which has been
received here. does not mention the
squadron. but 1t is conceivable that
such mention might be suppressed for
strategic reasons.
A general tension is evident in this
city tonight. There are many rumors
afloat. and everyone is realizing that
most important news may be expected
at any moment. 1t is reported that q
serious land fight has taken place near
Ta Tche Kiao Kiao. in which the Rus
SLAMS were defeated. but no conflrma-
ton Of this report is obtainable.

tion met with Mr.. Newell. chief engi-
neer OF the, United States Geological
Survey, to-day. Mr.. Newell spoke en-
Enthusiastically. After looking over the
project carefully he said that he was
pleased TO be able to report that in
stead of it's being a difficult engineer
ing proposition, the change which had
been made in the route of the tunnel
and in the line of canal to be con-
structed had made 1t favorable prop

Mr.. Newell further stated that he
was pleased with the report of the
committee, which showed 76,111 acres
in proper form for acceptance by the
government and $4,000 acres pledged
to be put in legal form as soon as pos
sible, which will be in about two
weeks, and that he is. prepared to or

SO, 900 acres are secured.
In lieu of the additional acreage he
said they would accept bond for $751;
600 signed by citizens of Montrose and
Delta county, guaranteeing that $4,000
acres would be subscribed on or be-
fore August is, 1904, and would start
work at once. The directors accepted
his proposal and in less than two hours
secured a bond for 100000 Before
tomorrow night they expect to in
crease this amount to 100000, thus
showing the government officials that
the people Of the Uncompahgre valley

nifty of proving their loyalty to the pro

Great Rejoicing in Toxic.

Toxic, June 26.-Tokio is in a frep-
zy of enthusiasm over the tremendous
naval victory won by the Japanese.
fleet under Admiral Togo at Port Ar
thur on Thursday. fresh details Of
which are arriving hourly.
Every additional dispatch brings
confirmation of the utter rout suffered
by the Russians.
The entire fleets of both powers
were engaged. and a naval battle that
will live in history was fought in the
gathering twilight Thursday night.
The engagement resulted from a..
desperate attempt of the Russians to
escape from Port Arthur and effect a
junction with the Vladivostok squad
ron.
The most thrilling gallantry was dis
played. The Russians also fought with
a courage and desperation born Of re-
peated defeats. but their gun practice
was bad which accounts for the trifiipE-
damage which the Japanese ships sus-
tanned during the engagement.
Shells from the Russian ships con
stantly exploded in the air, or in the
water just too short of the mark or.
just beyond the enemy's ships
1t was the torpedo boats OF the jap
anese feet that inflicted the greatest
damage. A torpedo struck the Peres-
Wet midway in the engagement, and in
five minutes later. with roar like an
exploding magazine, she sank beneath
the waves.
A well placed shell struck the other
battleship, the name OF which has not
yet been ascertained. just after the

parently in a sinking condition.
Meanwhile the smaller guns on the
Japanese ships were spreading havoc
among the torpedo boats Of the en-
emy.
For more than five hours the battle
lasted. The moon rose over the seems
OF the terrific struggle and showed
blurred and Redeemed face among the
flame and smoke Of the conflict.
Slowly the Russians backed away
from the Japanese ships, describing
great loops ID keep out OF range, and
with difficulty making the entrance to
Port Arthur, into which they retreateG
under cover OF the guns Of the fort
ress.
The ships of the Japanese sustained
little damage. The torpedo boat de-
stroyer Shirakumo was hit by a she'll

were killed and three more injured.
These were the only casualties ors

Il predict the defeat Of Wright for
many reasons, among which are the
following:
'First-Wright himself, with his
past record, does not appeal to the
substantial thought of the people.
"Second-There is absolutely no is
sue at stake, and there is no crisis in
this city's affairs which calls for a
change at this time.
"Third-The standing of the men
who are conducting Wright's campaign
is enough to ALLEVIATE all good citizens.

the other lesser lights instructing the
thoughtful voters Of this great city
how to exercise the right Of franchise!

LAST WEEK WILL BE
FILLED WITH MEETINGS
Party Workers in Different Wards
Plan Windup of Campaign.

The last full week of the campaign
will be a lively one if the number of
meetings scheduled by the Democratic
organization is any Indication. A half
dozen or more formal meetings are an
nounced, and there will be numerous
small gatherings to be addressed by
the ward workers.
The first meeting of the week will
be tonight at Federation hall, when the
Hebrew voters of the city will gather
in force to listen to a half-dozen of
the ablest speakers in the local Democ-
racy. The meeting will begin at Z
o'clock, and a great crowd is expected.
Mayor Smith will be present, and
among the speakers will be Thomas F..
Kane, Henry G. Haas, NJ. DOran Jr., NJ.
j. Moriarty, J. j. Brennan, f. j. He'll,
J. J. Regain and Oscar Tankenoff. 1t
will be the first big meeting of the
Hebrews, and the promoters of the
gathering promise a big crowd and
naturally lots of enthusiasm.
A big mass meeting will be held at
Twin City hall Monday evening, to be
participated in by the voters of the
Eighth and Ninth wards. Mayor Smith
will speak briefly, and among the other
speakers will be John S. erode, Aid.
Bantz and John j. Brennan, Demo-
cratic candidate for alderman in the
Ninth. It will be the largest meeting
yet held in that section of the city.
A meeting arranged by the Polish
people will be held at Jarosz's hall, in
the Fifth ward, Monday night. Polish
speakers will be in attendance and de-
liver brief addresses.
The colored people are arranging for
a meeting, to be attended exclusively
by voters of their race. The date and
the hall have not yet been selected,
but as nearly all the colored people are
for Mayor Smith and the ticket, it will
undoubtedly be big affair.
Thursday evening there will be a
mass meeting at Lucker's hall, in the
Second ward, in charge of the ward Or
ganization. Taxpayers are invited to
be present and hear the truth about the
taxes discussed intelligently.
At. St. Francis hall, Warsaw street,
in the Fifth ward, there will be DEM
ocratic gathering Tuesday night. c. D.
O'Brien Will make the principal ad-
dress of the evening.
Thursday night, at Salvation Army
barracks, 913 Payne avenue, a big mass
meeting is scheduled. John c.. Michael.
corporation attorney, will make the
principal address of the evening It is
said that Michael has some interesting
things to say to the taxpayers of the
First and that will be well worth turn
ing out to hear. He is specially well
qualified to speak on the live issues in
the campaign, and has a fearless way
of putting them.
Friday night, at Sherman hall, a
mass meeting will be held for the Fourth
ward voters. A programme which will
interest the taxpayers and voters of
the Fourth is being arranged for by
the committee, and this meeting prom
Uses to be one Of the best of the cam
paign.
The Polish residents of that section
of the city are planning for meeting
to be held Friday night at Hudalla's
hall, 1917 Arcade street, at which po-
htical questions will be discussed by
speakers in the Polish language.

Democrats Start Closing DAYS
Of Campaign With Victory
Assured.

But little more than a week re-
mains for the campaign worker to
complete his task of converting the
man Of opposite political belief. Pres
ent indications are that the week will
be pretty thoroughly occupied by the
workers, and especially is this true of
the men working in connection with
the Democratic organization.
The feeling about Democratic head
quarters last night at the close of the
weeks work was one of satisfaction
with what had been accomplished and
an abiding faith in the results of the
last week of the campaign.

cess was never so bright at this stage

what has been going on in the city,
and he but voiced the feeling of doz-
en- others present who have been in the
thick of the fight since the day of the
primaries.

that the fight is over" continued the
speaker, "but at the rate in which peo-
pie have been climbing on to the Smith

by majority that 1 haven't the nerve
to name, it will be so large. Why,
Col. Wright will scarcely know that he
was a candidate. His Republican
strength has been leaving him from
the day that the Democrats began to
show up the utter groundlessness of
his claims of extravaganza in the man
agement of the city departments. Then
his unwarranted attack on the police
administration-whic everybody, in
Guiding the Republican newspapers up
to four weeks ago, had said was the
best IN the country-made votes for
Mayor Smith, and DR.. Boyle added
more to the list when he perverted his
pulpit by participation in a partisan
campaign"
Regarding the candidates for comp
troller and treasurer there is little
doubt of Louis Betz's election and none
of the reelection of Otto Bremen. The
Republicans have concentrated almost
their entire fight on Betz and in the
interest of Kiefer, but they are hav-
ing the greatest difficulty to keep their
own members in line for Kiefer, and it
is claimed that in the big Republican
First and Seventh wards Kiefer will
lose hundreds of his own party votes.
The First has not forgotten the things
he did to them when he was mayor
and the Seventh has never been espe-
cially fond Of the former congressman
and mayor.
The situation from the assembly
standpoint could not be well improved
upon. The nine Democratic candi-
dates are working together harmoni-
ously and to victory. They are making
an each-for- all fight and the spirit
which animated Michael Doran Jr.,
when he said at an Eighth ward meet
ing one night last week that he did not
want to be elected if Richard D.

NO MORE RESTRAINT
Grocers Can Resume Fight
Against Trading Stamps.

The Sperry Hutchinson Trading
Stamp company's injunction suit
against the Retail Grocers' associa-
ton, of St. Paul, and the Retail Gro
GERS and General Merchants associa-
ton, of Minnesota, has fizzled out. On
motion of the plaintiffs the order to
show cause and temporary restraining
order, issued March 80 by Judge Orr,
were yesterday discharged.
The case came up for hearing before
Judge Lewis on the order to show
cause. The attorneys for the stamp
company moved still further continu
ance, explaining that they needed fur
Their affidavits from Chicago to prove
some points of their case. George w.
Walsh, on behalf of the defendants,
vigorously protested against any fur
Their delay in the case. He said that
1t was understood and agreed when
the former continuance was granted
that the case should positively be
heard at this time, and he did not con-
slider that the plaintiffs were acting
fairly or in good faith in trying to hold
the mater open any longer. He said
that the defense had been ready from
the first and was entitled to have some
disposition of the matter at this time.
