Davis for Vice President.
Henry: G. Davis, of West Virginia,
was nominated. for vice president, tho
o'clock Sunday morning. The other
candidates were ex-senator George
Turner of Washington, Congressman
]. R. Williams Of Illinois, and ex-Sen-
ator ". A. Harris Of Kansas. They
received but slight support. Illinois
voted for Congressman Williams, as
did Indiana, North and South Caroli-
ma, and Rhode Island. That, however,
was all he could, muster. The other
candidates also received purely local
support. Before the result of the bal
lot was announced Ohio moved that
the nomination be made by. acclama-
ton, and this was so done without dis

was made unanimous stood: Davis,

Parker Creates a Sensation.
A situation unprecedented in Ameri-
can political history was created II
the convention Saturday evening.
Judge Alton Brooks Parker, the nom
inee for president, telegraphed the
convention that he believed In the
gold standard and that unless the con-
sention knew his belief and still IA
yored his candidacy he must. decline

The convention vas just ready for, the
roll call on the nomination for vice
president. when the telegram from
Judge Parker was received by William
r. Sheehan, a personal representative
Of the. nominee. The telegram was a.
follows:
Judge Parker's Attitude.
"Esopus, N. Y, July 9.-Hon. Will
liam F. sheehan, Convention, Hall, St.

Us firmly and ~irrevocably established
by law, and l shall act accordingly II
the action Of the convention to-day ia
ratified by the people. Inasmuch as
the platform is. silent upon this SUBJ
feet, l deem 1t necessary to make this
communication to the convention for
its consideration, as l should feel 1t
my duty to decline the nomination ex-
eept upon this understanding.
ALTON B. PARKER"
Convention Paralyzed.
The work Of. the convention was
paralyzed at this critical juncture,
the delegates being in a CONSERVATION
Of doubt whether or not they had q
presidential nominee. A conference Of
party leaders hurriedly assembled in
the rear Of the hall, with hundreds OF
anxious delegates held at bay by ser.
gea~nts-at-arms and police. In o
stormy session Senator Tillman de-
nounced sParker's action, and Senator
Hill strove to find a solution. At 500
o'clock, with all uncertainty, the, con
vention was adjourned until nine
o'clock.
Delegates Angry.
Overthrow Of Parker and a new
nomination for the presidency was
threatened. Parker's telegram to the
convention was interpreted by some as

Partially Confirmed Report

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 26, 2:45 a. H.
A telegram from Viceroy Alexief to
the z a says:
"At a quarter before 3 on the norm
ing of February "a numerous Japa-
nese torpedo boats attempted to at
tack the battleship Retvizan and to
sink large steamers loaded with in
fiammables. The Retvizan was the
first to observe the torpedo boats and
opened a strong fire on them. She
was supported by the land batteries.
She destroyed two steamers near the
the entrance to the harbor, which
we're coming directly towards her.
The Retvizan observed four steamers
in a sinking condition and eight tor
pedo boats departing slowly to join
the waiting japanese warships. A
portion of the crews Of the Japanese
vessels we're drowned. The grounded
steamer is still burning. The enemy
is observed in the offing of Port Ar

scribers will in the near future be pre-

inducement to old subscribers to pay

For every dollar paid on subscrip-

the person paying the same will be
entitled to four guesses on the total
number of admissions to the Worlds

80, 1904. The person making the near
est correct guess will be. presented
with a handsome 800 buggy, abso-
lutely free. The buggy will be on ex-
hibition at Peterson's implement

To enable subscribers to form an
estimate on the probable attendance
we give the following figures on pre-
vious similar events:
