BIT Ten PEOPLE
IN 20 MINUTES
BILLY POTTS BULL TERRIER
TERRoRIzEs SECOND AvENU E.
He Was Guarding Owners Wagon
When Something Crossed Him and
He Immediately Began to Bite
Every Person in Reach-P Police Did
Not Arrest Him.

Billy Potts big bull terrier, Duke,
terrorized considerable quarter of
the community yesterday afternoon.
He bit ten people in twenty minutes,
thus establishing a new record for
dogs with undershot faces, and drew a
bigger crowd on Second avenue S than
is often seen there.
Potts drives a yellow wagon labeled
Empire laundry" The bull terrier
is part of the outfit. When Potts is
absent, the dog lies under the rig and
protects" it. Yesterday Potts was alb
sent twenty-five minutes. The bull
terrier became irritated at some thing
and proceeded to chew up the ada
cent population. J. w. Smith of 1882
Mary street was the first victim. He
passed too close to the wagon and
Gavin undertook to pacify the animal
and in a moment Duke was munching
savagely on a bit of Gavin's trousers.
A. j. Clarke, all unsuspecting, came
past on a bike. Dukes fighting blood
was aroused. He rushed at Clarke
| and pulled him off the wheel. A
crowd gathered, and Officer O'Malley
sauntered up swinging his club jaunt-
| lily.
What's all this?'' said o'Malley.
| Mad dog,'' cried the crowd in
chorus; he's bitten 1853 people by &C
tual count"
| O'Malley reached for his revolver
! Duke saw him do it. SOW, wow" he
I7growled, showing his teeth, and
/ O,Malley was prompted to speculate
what might happen if he missed. He
concluded to report to the chief.
Don't shoot the dog" telephonec
headquarters, "get somebody to swear
| out a warrant for the owner"
| Several people were willing to swear
out warrants for the owner, and Of
ficer O'Malley accompanied them te
the station.
Meantime Duke was left in undis.
turbed possession of about a, block Q.
street, and he bit two more people be
fore the warrant was signed. Suddenly
Potts appeared, mounted his Wagon
and drove off with Duke leering de
fiance on the seat beside him.

WATSON AND TIHBLEs.
The Springfield Convention Chooses
Georgia and a Nebraska Editor.
For President.
... Thomas Watson Of Georgia
For Vice President. ............
Thomas n. Tibbles Of Nebraska

SPRINGFIELD, lll.-Thomas e.
Watson of Georgia for president and
Thomas II. Tibbles of Nebraska for
vice president was the ticket nomi-
mated by the populist national conven-
ton. The names of William V. Allen
of Nebraska and Samuel w. Williams
of Indiana were also paced before the
convention for president, but before
the list of states had been completed
in the roll call their names were with
drawn and Watson was nominated by
reclamation. Former Senator Allen
made good his word that he would
not enter into any scramble for the
nomination. While the nominations
were being made he twice instructed
the chairman OF the Nebraska delega-
ton to say that his name must not so
before the convention. In the face of
this, however. he received over forty
votes
Whether Mr.. Watson will accept
the nomination or not no one In the
convention seems TO know and all
efforts to secure definite information
failed. Watson was quoted as say
ing that if the democrats at st. Louis
would nominate Hearst he would sup
port him for president.
Williams of Indiana received only
few votes, soon Withdrawing and NOV
ing to make Watson's nomination
unanimous.
There were five nominations for
vice president, Thomas II. Tibbles of
Nebraska, Theodore B. Rynder of
Pennsylvania, l.. H. Weller of Iowa,
George e. Washburn of Massachu-
sets and Samuel w. Williams of In
diana. The two latter declined and
Tibbles received all the votes on the
first ballot.
j. A. Mallet of Texas was chosen
permanent chairman.

CHINAMPO.-The steamer Man.
cruria, having or board party of
Japanese statesmen, foreign attaches
and correspondents who are making
a tour of inspection of the theater of
war, has been fogbound for five days
off this port. VI
On the evening of July l the Man
churia met number of Japanese
transports. A Japanese mail steam
ship passing here had on board 100
survivors of the battleship Hatsuse,
which was sunk off Port Arthur May
10 by striking mine. The survivors
are bound for naval base, where they
will join the torpedo fiotilla. Many of
the men are SCARED from the frightful
burns received from the explosion of
shells. All appear anxious to return
to active service, saying that it is
wrong for them to live when their
comrades are dead. With fanatical
enthusiasm they are DESTROYS of TAX
ing every risk.

Nominating speeches for the favor
lite son candidates and seconding
speeches for both Parker ad Hearst
occupied the convention for several
hours.
The convention hall seats about 10,-
500 people, and from appearance hun
dreds more had been admitted. The
floor and upper galleries contained
thousands of sweltering men and
women oblivious of the fact that the
crowded condition of the hail endan-
gered every life.
The Coliseum interior looked like a
huge basin with bottom and sides
formed by closely packed persons. Not
an aisle could be seen. They were
filled by spectators who could find no
other place. Outside and in the
crowds were the same, except for tie
fact that those within the hall were
satisfied and those without were tur-
bulent.
AS soon as the convention had been
called to order Chairman Clark an
AiOuhSSu IidI VIC lSDOIl VI llle COul-
mittee on resolutions was ready.

road, due in st. Louis at p. m, and
half an hour late, was wrecked inside

The work Of clearing the debris is
progressing as rapidly as possible.
The remains of Hon. |. r. Mills, inter-

been besieged with dispatches from
friends and relatives or ne ~

in the Office of the president of the
Wabash, stated to the Associated
Press today that from all that could
be learned, the misplaced switch at
Litchfield was tempered with by some

might be. A thorough investigation
will be held, said Mr. Clapp, after

ministers, to Berlin, is undertaken for
the purpose of Strengthening out a
hitch in the Russo-German CONNER
cial treaty and is regarded as another
significant evidence or his resumption

without yielding too much to German

very important. NJ. Whites visit to

ITS WORK BEGINS.
FIRST SESSION OF THE NATIONAL!
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
AN ORGANIZATION PERFECTED
An Extended Speech From Represen-
tative John Sharp Wiliams-Con-
servatves Said to Be In Control of
the Convention.

ST. LOUIS-The democratic ma
tional convention met on Wednesday.
listened to an extended speech from
Representative John Sharp Williams.
its temporary chairman; appointed the
committees necessary to perfect per-
manent organization and adjourned.
In a session lasting two hours and
fifty minutes one striking incident
overshadowed all other proceedings.
That was the enthusiastic and pro-
longed cheering which greeted the
name Of Grover Cleveland. While the
outburst which greeted the name of
the former democratic president be-
fore the last syllable had fallen from
the lips Of the temporary chairman
was noteworthy in itself. it was mag
nified by contrast with the greeting
accorded the actual persons of men
who stood for all that has been op-
posed to Mr.. Cleveland within the
party during the last eight years.
James K. Jones of Arkansas, chair
man of the national committee, went
onto the platform and took his seat
unnoticed. Practically no greeting
was given him when he faced the con-
vention with gavel in hand.
Eight minutes after the gavel fell
the twice-named candidate of his party
passed in at the main entrance and
sought his seat unheralded and I'M
needed. A few moments later he arose
and pushed his way to a seat nearer
the aisle, where, standing a moment
to give greetings to friends, he was
caught sight of and applauded. The
measure of applause was but ripple
when compared to the storm called
forth by Cleveland's name.
Listening attentively to the demo-
cratic doctrine laid down by Mr.. Will
liams, the conservatives found occa-
sion for the first demonstration when
reference was made to the record Of
former President Cleveland. All the
shaclIled party interest which had laid
dormant through two national cam
paigns was released as by the touch
of trigger. The name of Cleveland
was echoed from thousand threats.
Hats, handkerchiefs, fans and arms
were waved, delegates and spectators
stood on their chairs and the last sem.
blance of order was turned into con-
fusion, which convention officials were
powerless to subdue.
The greatest significance was at
tached to the showing made by the
conservatives. Their absolute control
of the convention is no longer doubted,
even by those who have heretofore de-
clined to be convinced. The nomina-
ton of Judge Parker for president is
assured beyond any possibility Of de-
feat.
One of the browning features is an
immense furled flag, which is pendant
from the center of the roof. The flag
will be dropped into prominence when
a nomination for president has been
made.

GORDON OF TROOPS.
Port Arthur Surrounded on the Land
Side by Wall of JAMS,

CHE FOO.-Chinese who arrived
here from Port Arthur say the Japan
csc forces have formed complete
Gordon around the land side of the
town, and they are occupying all the
commanding hills, including Wolf
mountain, within radius of seven
miles of the Notifications.
The Chinese say also that two large
warships are missing from the squad
ron which went out from Port Arthur
on June 20, and that the Russian bat.
tleship Sevastopol was damaged on
that day.
The Japanese bombarded Port Ar
thur from the sea on June 80, but no
damage was done to the town.
Admiral Togo in an official report
sent out from Toxic on June 25 said
that on the night of June % Japan.
csc torpedo boat destroyer sunk a
battleship of the Peresviet type and
disabled the battleship Sevastopol Off
Port Arthur.
That these ships were damaged by
the Japanese was subsequently denied
by the Russian authorities.
A trustworthy Chinaman who ar
rived here from a point on the east
coast of the ,Kwan Tung peninsula
near Port Arthur brings the in
formation that on July one division
of the japanese army reached the
northeast slope of the Takushan,
the summit of which is less than three
miles from Port Arthur. This divis-
ion parted from another division of
the army on the highway north of
Port Arthur after which it made its
way through a mountainous country.
The other division continued along
the main road toward the marine
camp.
