NEWS OF THE WORLD.
Russo-JAPANEsE WAR.

Sir Cyprian Bridge was appointed
to head English commission to inves-
tigate the North sea tragedy.
The expected clash at Mukden IS
still in the future. Both armies are
close together and skirmishing is
constant
Fearing that the Baltic fleet may L.
peat the North sea attack, Britain
sends her warships to watch it's move
ments everywhere.
A Russian letter from Port Arthur
declares that the town is demolished,
harbor and ships damaged, hospitals
crowded, anaesthetics gone, and foCd
running low.
A report is current in st. Peters
burg that Russia will undertake to
prove that an attack against the Bal
tic fleet was organ zed by the Japan
csc minister at The Hague.
A coroner's jury at Hull, England,
found George Henry Smith and Will
lam Loggett of the Gamecock feet
were killed by shots fired without
warning or provocation from Russian
warships.
The Japanese continue to press the
attack on Port Arthur vigorously, u.s.
ing heavy artillery to batter down the
forts and following the bombardmenr
with infantry rushes. Several ships
are reported sunk by shells.
Negotiate s looking to the arbitra-
ton of the North sea affair are pro-
crossing, although London had war
panic on news that the Baltic fleet
had left Vigo and British ships at
Gibraltar stripped for action.
Official reports published in Toxic
covering the Port Arthur attack from
Oct. 80 to Nov. 3 state that the
Japanese have made number of dis
tinct gains, materially shortening the
defensive power of the garrison.
The japanese captured important forts
east of Port Arthur; took the trenches
of the inner forts by storm, but were
repulsod in an attempt to take the
forts themselves. The Chefoo re.
ports declare the stronghold's doom
is sealed.
Many changes in the commanding
officers of the Russian army are taken
in st. Petersburg as an indication that
Kuropatkin will not attempt another
battle this year. The Japanese are
receiving re-enforcements constantly.
A Paris paper renews the rumor
that the Russians have abandoned
Port Arthur and are making a last
stand on Liaotishan peninsula. Stoes-
sci is said to have only few thousand
men left. There is a rumor at st.
Petersburg that the fortress can hold
cut only four days longer.

given any presidential candidate He
has by the unofficial returns carried
Chicago by $4,000 and Cook county

lation upon this fact, the republican

sible plurality for Roosevelt with a
total of 214,000, though some few

An Astonished Messenger Boy.

The writer's for the l-nny papers

messenger boy, likening his speed

NAMED for one of the subjects OF
these jokes to coin an unconscious jest
far better than the majority of the
printed witticisms, says the Philadel-
phia Press.
The incident occurred at Broad and
Chestnut streets, and the actors were
two messenger boys. One of the
youngsters was running down Broad
street at speed that was hardly typi-
cal of the messenger boy. Another
boy had just left the Western Tele'
graph office at the corner of Chestnut
street, and was strolling slowly up
Broad, his eyes glued on the latest
dime novel of the Terrible Terror's
Tumultuous Times" When the slow
going boy spotted the swift-speedine
messenger hiS eyes stood out with
amazement, and in tones of anxious
inquiry he cried out:
"Hully gee, Bill! What's de mat
ter? Amt yer workin'?"

DUNN NAMED FOR GOVERNOR
By Minnesota Republicans In State
Convention at st. Paul.
After Completing n FuH state Tick
ct the Convention Adjourned In
GOod-Nntured Harmony.

st. Paul, July minnesota republi-
cans, at the close of the fifth session
and the second day of their state con-
vention on Friday, named the follow
ing ticket and adjourned In good-na-
tured harmony:
The Ticket.
Governor-Robert G. Dunn, OF Mile
Laos.
Lieutenant-G overnor-Ray w. Jones
of Hennepln.
Secretary of State-P. e. Hanson, OF
Meeker.
State Treasurer. G. Block, of Nj
collett.
Justices of the Supreme Court-Cal-
win L. Brown, of Stevens Charles L.
Lewis, Of st. Louis; G. B. Elliott, OF
Hennepin; Edwin A. Jaggard, of Ram
sey.
Senator Moses e. Clapp, who presid-
ed, brought about harmony by insist
ing that contests be fought out in the
committee on credentials. While con-
tests were not settled by the commit
tee, all talk of boiling was done away
with, so that when a minority report
was adopted unseating 113 delegates
favorable to Justice Collins for gov
ernor, the unseated delegates left the
hall, pledging their hearty support to
whatever ticket might be named.
After the unseating was completed,
1t became evident that Dunn had a
large majority. Congressman Eddy
withdrew from the race, while the
name Of Collins was not presented.
Dunn's nomination was then made by
reclamation.
AS the convention Endorsed Senator
Clapp for reelection, it seems improb-
able that anyone will seriously contest
his return to the senate.

HAYTIEN INCIDENT CLOSED

Far ms French Government

Paris, July 2.-The Haytien incident
has been satisfactorily adjusted, so far
as France is concerned. The foreign
office has received dispatch from
Port-Au-Prince, saying that President
Nord had made the most complete
apology for the indignity shown the
French minister. The Haytien govern
ment's action includes the punishment
of those guilty of the outrage, a public
apology and assurances of security for
the future.
Foreign Minister Delcasse informed
the council Of ministers that the presi-
dent of Hayti had given public au-
dience to the French and German
ministers and had publicly apologized.
Although the action of France was in
dependent of Germany throughout,
each government appears to have taxi
en- similar measures.
